![]() It is extremely genius of Fumiaki-sensei to have incorporated all of these events together in a Yakuniku place. And of course, Icy Tail’s celebration is in the final volume, so technically that should have been the only part shown in this scene which to me sounds too light-hearted and potentially boring and unlike Saekano, doesn’t it? If my memory serves me correct, the part where Utaha had exposed Tomoya in front of Megumi was in volume 9 or 10 and the part where Akane interrupted the main cast happens right after, except that she’d called the betrayer duo back to her office instead of physically showing up. Thing is, all of them did happen at some point but each and every one of them did not happen at the same day. It is not just this little conversation but the entire scene which have been altered from source material. Having opened up Tomoya’s old wound which was the second season’s finale, even Megumi was taken by surprise. Utaha is back with the aggressive flirting despite knowing that Tomoya’s well taken at this point. And that was the very beginning of Megumi’s personal grudge against Iori, vividly seen throughout the movie. *Iori used 重い/ Omoi to describe Megumi’s severity, which can be interpreted as serious, but literally means “heavy”. “Your girlfriend is pretty severe*, you know?” Tomoya then confirmed with Iori when they would be meeting again. Megumi argued that it was not fair, but Tomoya replied that it was certainly fair as he was asking Iori for a favor. Megumi then stood up out of the blue and said that wasn’t right even though Iori said it wouldn’t sell, he wouldn’t even tell why. Iori said that his proposal had a nice balance and all the heroines were well done, but it wouldn’t sell, which confused him even further. Even though Tomoya kept asking for a reason as to why he was rejected, Iori denied all of them this reminded him of last year when his proposal was repeatedly rejected by Utaha and Eriri. Tomoya offered Iori to become Blessing Software’s manager, to which the latter declined. One thing they knew for sure was that we would all be there for them. I do not think anyone can disagree that they are more than welcomed, especially to the finale. It is also the one last chance minor characters from Icy Tail get to have screen time. ![]() ![]() This movie starts off in melodies, not at all shy from the fact that drama ensues. Though I will not cover all chapters of the movie. Remember, this is not just a review but also a Looking Into which I personally consider to be a special type of post for my blog. Another fine example of this I can think of on top of my head is Ufotable’s adaptation of Fate franchise. But somehow all of these insane alterations make sense in the end and that is the only thing which matters. The character appearances on scene differ, too. The settings of each and every events from the original source material are entirely different. But oh boy, whether you have read the light novel beforehand or not, watching Saekano Flat and FINE will absolutely be of new experience to all. Megumi is still the clear waifu at the end of the day. The most obvious one would have to be the ending scene - it is clearly different to the light novel but the “end result” is not. ![]() Fumiaki-sensei has really done the expected job of shuffling around chronological events in the series and professionally altered them to the point that I can almost call this movie “original”. The movie is consisted of 16 chapters including the ending credits. In other words, the melodrama was dragged on far too long. I had wanted a third season, but now that I have seen the final work, I became convinced that an entire cour is not really needed since majority of the contents between volume 9 to 11 can actually end up boring even for the most hardcore fans of the series looking for just intense plot. Time constraint is a very common issue for many anime movie adaptations and Saekano FINE is no exception to that. Sacrifices had to be made for sure, as it is a movie which covered from volume 8 all the way to the final volume (13). The movie, titled Saenai Heroine no Sodate-Kata FINE, retains what made us loved both of the series’ first and second seasons.
