EPISODE 22 "To That Summer"official episode PV:Hairi and Shiroha are spending a fun time together as a couple, "just the two of them". However, when they touch the developed photos, the fried rice, and an unfamiliar paper airplane, they are seized by a feeling that something is missing.In the midst of this, the two head to the summer festival grounds as if guided by something. Hairi and Shiroha look up at the fireworks coloring the night sky. There, a small hand tightly grasps both of their hands... At that moment, Hairi and Shiroha remember everything---

>>281911644I haven't finished with Ao...

I wonder if there's time for Shiroha's lullaby.
>>281911184Rem

Ao wants some action too

>>281913875NOOOOOO
kamomeeeeeee
>>281913934My wife

The fireworks scene always gets me....
So does the base game end here?
not bad, the episode managed to get like 30% of the emotional numbness effect I had felt when finishing most of the VN's routes. I'd say maybe on par with the least personally impactful ending in the VN (Shizuku)>>281914360not at all
can't wait for more Umi suffering
All those Shiki teases in the OP and she's not even here anymore.
>>281914470perhaps? >>281911014
>>281914496Hopefully, anon. But if they're doing RB routes, Shiki's and Umi's are needed.
Remaining episode titles:23 Nanami24 Where the Sun Shines25 Memory of the Future26 Pocket Full of Happiness
>>281914578there's 4 more episodes of this shit? god let this end already
I barely understand what's happening anymoreso did Umi erase herself from all timelines?

>>281914368Same, though the fireworks scene was great as always. I've played through the VN twice now and Alka hit much harder the 2nd time after knowing what happens next.I'm glad Umi got to have a happy summer with her mom.

I kiss Mamome
Some stitches.
>>281916160she's such a wife material here. the anime is an upgrade for Shiroha
Angry
Shiroha and Umi are in the credits with Takahara as their family name, not Naruse and Katou.
>>281916198the adult Chinese audiobook looks fucking hideous overall, even for Key games
>>281916218Kino detail
DID UMI WATCH THEM FUCK?
>tfw you realize Ai isn't there with AoThat's dark.Also, they changed Shiroha's design slightly when she's an adult and yet the others stay the same...
>>281916404the ponytail gay romance option put on a shirt
>>281916404Does she get magically fixed in the true route or does she always die when Hairi doesn't choose Ao?
>>281916426Ao really covered herself up...>>281916437The girls should at least have their hair grown.Ao needs to let her hair down.
Last stitch.
>>281916477Spoiler 1 for answer. Spoiler 2 for explanation.Magically fixed.For some reason, Shiroha's future sight caused all of their problems. When Umi gets rid of it, everyone's alive and in peace. Tsumugi still existing is still weird and unexplained though.
>>281916447>>281916509Sorry, Hairi. It was me.
>>281915177so why is her hair pink?
>>281916971Lack of nutrition and rest as well as abnormally high stress during pregnancy.
Shiroha is disgusted by you.
>>281917176>translucent white pantsuShe's not that lewd.
>>281915790Can I have the left side screenshots separately?
>>281917326
>>281913852FUCKFUUUUUUUUCK!
Damn the vtuber reactions are brutal. They don't even have time to say anything, they just sniffle in the background
>>281917420>>281917446>>281917468>>281917529Thanks. I have this old screenshot if anyone wants to make an EN version.
>>281917485Yeah it's great. I think the episode was well done, the fireworks are where it really peaked. It didn't affect me as much as the game did, but my eyes and nose did get wet.
It hadn't been as noticeable for a while since Hairi and Shiroha are such a cute couple, but now that she's gone and Nagisa'd it's really hit hard how much this is just Key playing the hitsAt least it doesn't look ugly as sin with that uguu early Key aesthetic
>>281917485>watching vtumorsWhy are you here?
I just want Umi to be happy, /a/...

>>281917606Because I watch /a/nime with them
>>281917674Is that allowed? What vtumors do you watch alongside anon

>>281918753shit wrong thread
Kamome anal
uh, so there's more episodes?
>>281917592Yeah instead of feeling sad I just laughed at the Clannadman double hit. I assume the game hits different as the payoff is bigger.
>>281917705Post it.
>>2819189364 more for the final route
>>281918973I already did. It's spoilered.
>>281919307Oh I'm dumb, I thought it was just Ao's since I didn't scroll down.
>>281911952Is this recent?
Fuck Shiroha
>>281919575Yes it was for her birthday yesterday
The last day of summer...
>>281919947>Fuck Shirohayes
>>281918804Oh man... umi-chan...Yasouka is such a good song. Umi-chan is such a good girl.
>>281914739wtf it dropped to 799k. are they botting like with the most recent Summer Pockets PV?
>>281920059Looks pretty
>>281915315>>281915358Why can't Umi just go back to the timeline where Kamome won?
>>281920722It's Summer Pockets but rehashed beats.
Shiroha won
>>281922017Actually, as you can see here >>281913902 Kamome was on-screeen, so she won.
>>281917826Thanks anon. And I was thinking they straight up streamed the show on YouTube
>>281915698Translucent dresses...
The soundtrack that was played when Shiroha and Hairi said goodbye to Umi on the beach was great.I'm looking forward to the next episode.
>>281922520Westerners tend to have the video and audio in their reaction videos but it's sliced and obscured to avoid copyright violations, with the full versions behind paywall on Patreon.I think the Japanese are too cucked on copyright to do even that, but on the other hand they rarely paywall full reactions and react live. Their income comes from superchats (I did see one JP vtuber that had Summer Pockets reactions as membership only though)
What is the name of episode 22 ending song?
>>281923183羽のゆりかご
>>281923245>Cradle of FeathersAnd now I'm crying again.
This shit is so ass, kinda hard to be le sad when none of the girls were ever real. >hurr durr why were we crying again
>>281923853Watch the show.
>>281924011I DID, I EVEN HAD TISSUES READY FOR THIS EPISODE.
>>281924051>none of the girls were ever realYou clearly didn't.
>>281924093So you cried? Who here cried.
>>281924172I did, yeah. I played the VN though so I knew everything and still bawled.
I’m glad I didn’t spoil myself because that was a kino episode. Key never misses (at least when it comes to the emotional aspect)
Nice of them to add the post Alka stuff like their marriage and Umi watching them.
Umi's feet.
>>281926275She won.
>>281923853I've refrained from posting in most threads because I really have nothing to say, but yeah I have to agree. I just feel nothing for most of these characters, it really is just rehash of Keys greatest hits with a dose of >please feel! please cry!I'm really only watching out of obligation at this point; I simply do not care for the characters. Aoi is the only girl that had an enjoyable route.
>>281926494>AoiWatch the show.
>>281926571>minor spelling mistake
>>281924513her legs seem too long, but maybe its because of the camera and the angle.
but what about the redhead from the OP?
>>281926971the movie will be announced at the after party on November 1st (hopefully)
>>281926494If you don't care about the characters, then why are you still watching? I dropped gacha because I stopped giving a shit about the characters, even with their incentives to keep players hooked. Summer Pockets isn't HBR; there's no daily primojadecoin meta FOMO to worry about here, so idk why you'd continue wasting time on something you don't like when you could just read the summary on Wikipedia.
I can't believe Umi flew all the way to the Future Gadget Lab to recruit help.
Kamome mating press
how much sex did they have to make Umi>>281927029is that the only route unseen?
Although I think VN is way better than the anime, I didn't realize before just how gruesome it is for Umi to see her mother dying time and again, anime helped to visualize that better
>>281926275Hairi won
>>281927485so how many times was that? was the the MC doing all that time in the timelines where she wasn't pregnant and hanging out with the other girls?
>>281927691I think ever since Umi did her thing with Hairi and Shiroha in Alka, the timeline probably sealed her fate. Love is powerful after all.
>>281926708>minor spelling mistakeThe i is pretty far from spacebar, anon.I forgive you.
Shirona doggystyle
>>281928088how did they know when to make Umi? how can she exist if the other timelines had the Dad going out with the other girls? Well this is KEY, so we're expecting at least something to save Shirona.
>>281928187I don't know.Besides, Umi fucked the timeline by travelling back multiple times. With how strong their feelings for each other were in Alka, it wouldn't be surprising if it just happens.
Fuck umi
imagine if Umi just made her dad just fuck her instead. i feel like a butterfly effect is bound to happen.
Did Shiroha give Hairi a footjob? Did she suck his dick?
Don't the japanese hate pregnant women?
Shiroha footjobs are heaven.
>>281928088>I think ever since Umi did her thing with Hairi and Shiroha in Alka, the timeline probably sealed her fate. Love is powerful after all.That's especially important in the original release of the game because it doesn't have the extra Umi scenes that explicitly state she got a happy ending.
But why was Umi retarded?
>>281929206because every time she loops she gets more dumber due to brain proelmbs
>>281929206I think the better question is, why did Kereno even make that doujin
>>281928923I must've forgotten about Umi sealing her fate in the VN since it was just my theory.
Why didn't Shiroha just get a C-section if she can't handle all of that Umi?
I don’t get it. Why did Shiroha get stuck in that loop too?
>>281929461https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Plot-Induced_Stupidity
>>281916218That's nice.HOWEVERWouldn't they take the Naruse name since that name is important to the island.
Wait, does the mental regression also affect the soul? The Umi at the end of the episode seemed to be smart again like she was back on the 1st episodes.What the fuck happened?
>>281929461She's mentally drained.
Why was Hairi such a bad father? This all could have been avoided had he been a good father to Umi after Shiroha died.
>>281930561It is an importance limited to the island, based Hairi a mainland MAN can override and give his last name to the Naruse daughter
>>281931782Hairi probably knew about Umi's powers which is why they lived on the main land. Powers only worked on the island.Umi cooking fried rice triggers Shiroha's death ptsd.Still an asshole though.
>>281931782We already know he has a tendency to run away from his problems, and Umi reminded him of Shiroha too much, despite that he still remained with her. He wasn't really a bad father, he worked and got Umi everything she needed except for love. >>281932279We already know the powers work outside of the island too, we saw Umi use it during an argument with her dad in their apartment.
so Umi's soul is now stuck in a loop created by Shiroha? Is that what's happening?
>>281933088It's not that Umi is stuck I think, but that she now knows that Shiroha is stuck herself so she wants to save her mom. I could be wrong but that's how I see it.
>>281933088Umi being their daughter in Alka caused them to only be together.No more Kamome or Ao routes.
Why did they cover Ao up?
>>281932329>he worked and got Umi everything she neededThat alone puts the future Hairi from Umi's timeline in the top 10% of fathers (based on modern standards)yeah the world is fucked
>>281910599another week without kamome
>>281932329Fuck that reminds me of the Umi route in reflection blue. I'm glad I played that route after finishing the true route, I doubt it would have made me cry if I did it before.
YWN wake up to your cute autistic wife sleeping soundly next to you.How will a man get by without his Umi?Fuck you show, that was mean.Now Umi will have to stack rocks for eternity.That's a photo of Shiroha's mother right? It all starts to blend with each lap.I knew it was coming but jesus fucking christ it was not necessary.Also how the fuck did she die in modern times from child birth?Nothing quite like a VN ending, "You rike happy ending? Fuck you, everyone die or miserable beyond reason.".
>>281933923Bro?>>281917420
>>281934199>Also how the fuck did she die in modern times from child birth?I think it's made clear she died from complications due to fatigue and stressing her body when she really should have been resting.
>>281930785Umi temporarily regains some ability to talk during the fireworks scene only, in the same way that hairi and shiroha remember everything only for the duration of that scene. Something like a final burst of energy before everything disappears.>>281933088It was mentioned in this episode but shiroha's power isn't seeing the future, it's the same as umi's in where she can send her mind back to the past. That's why shiroha was able to "see" umi because they were both there by using their powers. The loop was essentially umi going back to meet her mom and shiroha going back to prevent umi's power from manifesting after her death. At the end of this episode is where umi decides to leave the current loop and go back even further to when shiroha was younger to instead prevent shiroha's power from ever manifesting.
>>281933727They wanted to nerf her since she's the most powerful heroine.
>>281915272When a man and a woman love each other very much, the man writes a letter to the government and puts it in the woman's mailbox and out comes a stork with the baby a few months later
>>281934645But that's unironically Shiki
>>281934618Man, I forget about that.
>>281913902>>281913915>>281913934>>281913948Are we going to discuss the implication that if this was actually Umi each time, then she made out with her own dad multiple times?
>>281916101Me too anon, me too.>>281927405Shortened Kamomating press>>281933088Loops within loops I guess>>281937249Audible kek
>>281916509Big preggo milkers...
>>281938087Still smaller than Shizucow
>>281929270more importantly, why was it so hot
>>281933923Huge friendships!
>>281938295Kamomilkers
>>281933975>I'm glad I played that route after finishing the true routeSame, I might have thought what the children did was pretty stupid if I hadn't already known her backgroundMost people probably did that route after the true route or did it early due to failing to get onto Ao's route (since it's possible to get locked out as early as July 31)
>>281938170Hairi will fix the timeline, save Shiroha and pump enough babies into her to make her the biggest girl!
>>281938369Shizucow will just get Tsumugi to mugyu them, leading to a mammary based arms race that culminates with the island sinking in to the sea
>>281930785At the end of the episode, Umi isn't actually talking to anybody, she's alone. She's just performing a narration.
>>281938368To be fair what Hairi did was COMPLETELY unacceptable and a total betrayal of the absolute trust Umi placed in him. He was probably jealous (or proud?) she had better taste in finisher moves than him but that doesn't excuse his stab to her back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yk3Yx8xLVE
Post Shiroha feet.
>>281937249bro...
>>281941719What happens on p1?
>>281946569Decent people shouldn't ask that sort of question.
>>281941719Why didn't Hairi just married his daughter?
>>281916351Yes.
>>281948564>sloppaAt least make her have a game boy in hand playing Kirby's Pinball Land.
