Tokimeki Memorial 17 – Now With Sense Made
Jun 17th
The pace has picked up for Tokimeki Memorial, as the subs are released more frequently (props to…whoever, for staying with the project) and it seems the tension is beginning to build up again.
(Yes, we know that’s a real plant)
The long-awaited culture festival has finally come (and by the end of the episode, it will have gone as well), and it’s crunch time for both Sayuri, who is the star in the Drama Club’s play, and for Riku, who is in just about everything.
Meanwhile, will the two have any time for each other? Or, will this be the time for the “side characters,” energetic girl Tsukasa, and shy (yet determined) girl Mina, to shine?
Perhaps it’s a bit of spoilers to be talking like Sayuri and Riku are meant for each other, but really, the anime is making it so blatantly obvious that it will take a miracle to get anyone else to be The True Ending. Tokimeki Memorial is making itself out to be the answer to the question I posed yesterday, in asking “can anime still be good when you know what’s going to happen?”
And the answer, for now, seems to be yes – although that might be just that faint glimmer of hope in praying for a Mina ending speaking. We’ll see.
Anyway, full non-spoilery (since I, uh, technically spoilered everything) recap ahead, after the jump.
