Description on AnimeDB.net
I watched all of Shuffle!, and thought it was ok. I decided to check out what Shuffle Memories is all about. A prequel, the same characters but thrown into different roles in a different world, an actual sequel that followed the first--"which would it be?" I thought.
After watching not 1, not 2, but 3 episodes, I'm...disappointed. Episode 1 is completely devoted to introducing us to each of the main and many supporting characters and includes a peek of what happened to them during Shuffle!. Episode 2 had a completely new opening and ending animation devoted to Kaede (orange-haired) and the episode was all about Kaede, too. If you've watched Shuffle, imagine the episodes that focused on Kaede and cut them out of their respective episodes and package them together as a special Kaede-only episode--that was Episode 2. Episode 3 goes the same formula. Beginning and ending and whole episode is all about the green-haired Asa-sempai.
So there you have it. 3 episodes, and I saw virtually nothing new. Is this all that Shuffle Memories supposed to be? Is the animation production company trying to get all they can from the previous Shuffle! footage? Too under-motivated to do research. nothing on animenfo.com about the story. blah. I won't be downloading this anymore if the next episode is more of the same.
Recommendations:
- Shuffle!...the first season, it had a plot going and characters that added some variety, basic opportunistic game-based harem
- Love Hina...lots of girls and a clueless guy, throw in a hot spring bath, add some laughs, turtles play an interesting role
