I bought this after watching the anime. The game still feels fun even after watching the anime. There are a lot of things that aren't in the anime, and I think the game is more enjoyable. I really like this^^

We're dealing with a studio called Key here, which means you should probably expect to burst into tears every few hours. This is also one of the few places where the writers weave blatant melodrama to induce tears, and players willingly sign the contract on that. If you're new to Key works, don't start here. I would instead recommend either Little Busters (2007) for its tear-jerking friendship story, or Clannad (2004) for its extremely powerful family plot. Summer pockets is still good, and I suggest circling back to it after you’ve experienced either. There are simply more potent introductions to this studio’s magic. This is a heart-wrenching story centered on familial love, featuring a painfully real kid who is the heartbeat of the story. The protagonist's character arc may feel shallow, almost like he's not the real main character, but don't worry. Just read on. It will make sense. Even the setting's time period holds a narrative purpose. The near-perfect soundtrack also pulls me deeper into the world, making the island feel lived in. Likely the most atmospheric Key work I've ever read. For veterans of Key's previous works: This is basically a modernized mosaic of all pre-Rewrite Key themes. You will like it more if you like Clannad though, due to the story's heavy focus on family. It feels like a retreat to safety. A bit of a letdown after the ambitious experiments of Rewrite. Still a top-tier VN on its own, just a bit anachronistic in Key's catalog. Almost like they are looking backward in time, as if tomorrow isn't going to come...

Words cannot simply describe how much this game means to me. I played the original Summer Pockets in 2021 and absolutely loved it, and my feelings have only grown stronger after playing Reflection Blue. Reflection Blue preserves everything that was great about the original game---the characters and their interactions with one another, the heavenly music, the fantastic art, and the beautifully heart wrenching scenario---while adding a full-game's worth of new content. The new routes for preexisting characters, while perhaps not as strong as the original four character routes in certain cases, are a very welcome addition, with the completely new character route introduced in Reflection Blue being arguably the single best character route in both versions of the game. Reflection Blue also tastefully supplements the routes from the original game with additional CGs and insert songs, strengthening the already excellent direction. The new take on the original table tennis minigame is quite fun and adds a lot of new character interactions that fans are sure to enjoy. In addition to the character routes and main scenario, the game also contains a lot of hidden interactions and encounters, creating a world that feels genuinely alive. I waited for years for Reflection Blue to receive an official English release. I became active on Twitter for the express purpose of begging VisualArts/Key's then-President for an English version of Reflection Blue. I ended up becoming fluent in and learning how to read Japanese during that wait, leading to the quite ironic outcome of me playing Reflection Blue in Japanese even after it was officially released in English (which is part of the reason for my long playtime; there were still quite a few characters that I did not know how to read and had to look up in a dictionary. I should however note that it would not be surprising for someone reading in English to spend over a 100 hours in this game due to the sheer amount of content contained within it). Even though this was technically my "second playthrough" since I already played the original game previously (and I've also watched the anime adaptation), the game's emotional moments were just as strong as they were during my first playthrough. Quite simply, Summer Pockets is a masterpiece, and Reflection Blue is the definitive version of Summer Pockets. With all outstanding "technical" issues now resolved, you should not hesitate to purchase this release if you are interested in playing this game.

Something I've always loved about visual novels is the slice of life genre, being able to experience things that I never was able to when I was younger. The concept of 'summer vacation' was perhaps before my time, or never really a thing where I'm from. Much like Key's other titles, the humor is stellar, and the emotion the story draws from you by the end ties everything together in a way that makes this story a must read for anyone who enjoys the medium.
