However, Wagamama High Spec was even worse it didn't even follow the plotline it was supposed to follow!Д«efore we begin, I should explain what Wagamama High Spec is SUPPOSED to be about. However, when it was announced that each episode would be 3 minutes long, I became concerned, as another short visual novel adaptation that I've seen, Final Examination Kujira, tried to cram the entire visual novel into it and, for the most part, failed. I was curious to see how they would pull something like this off. Why? Just why? Why would you do something like this? I mean, adapting a visual novel and not getting the protagonist to appear even once? Why would you do that? All questions aside, the only reason I watched Wagamama High Spec was because it was adapted from a visual novel that, at the time of its announcement, had not yet been released, and I'm not sure whether I should consider it a minor or major spoiler, but either way, read at your own risk.) Ashe is your generic route but with a weak and unsatisfactory ending, even by this VN's standard, which is why I don't like her route.(WARNING!: This review may contain one spoiler, even though there should be a low risk of spoilers with an anime like this. Toa is very close to Mihiro's in term of comedy but storytelling is weaker. Mihiro's route is indeed the most heart-warming route and the funniest. As this VN focuses on light-heart comedy rather than deep story, drama, or character development, Kaoruko's route feels lackluster in their strengths. The other problem is her and Ashe routes has less comedies than Mihiro and Toa. But I agree with you that Kaoruko become pretty weak later on, and she seems to have her personality flip, which betrayed my expectation of her being the closest to mother figure and the most heart-warming heroine. Both of them have very weak storytelling but focus on comedy. Mihiro's route never explained more than Mihiro helped siblings setting down in a town. Other routes seem to ignore their respective heroine's' backstory completely Toa nevers reveal the specific reason why MC had to run away for her sake when he did not need to. The author put a lot of effort and details in her route. Imo, Kaoruko's route starts very strong bc it explains most of her backgrounds and answer a question why she is a bit persistent to be with MC from the start of pre-route story. The downside is the tone is more serious and less comedic. In common route, they are quite mean to MC,teasing him too often, but very kind and caring in Ashe's route. The other thing I want to point out is supporting chars and other heroines play excellent supporting roles to MC very well and touching, in particular Karen, Kaoruko, and Toa. The closure is lackluster due to seemingly abrupt end, but the positive side is there is a sequel, so it will not feel unfinished for too long. My other nitpicking is that she becomes tsundere for far too long, I actually wanted to see her being totally honest and deredere longer. The title is literally 'Selfish/eccentric High spec' so they want to keep heroins being selfish til the end I guess. I feel the writing did not fresh out her thought on this last drama very well. It never explains why she did it this way. MC was at fault for being insecure or inferior complex, but she instantly gave him cold shoulder by indirect breaking up with him is too cruel and unreasonable imo. There is nothing wrong until the drama near the end that I find writing is a bit poor on her reasoning/character. I heard that Kaoruko is the best and longest but generic (lovey-dovey but nothing deviate from other VN), while Toa's route is unique.ДЇor Ashe's route, it is your typical story with tsundere girl who acts tough most of the time until they become really dere or honest near the end. From reading most reviews, The character popularity, not their routes, is Toa>=Kaoruko>Arshe>Mihiro. Not sure since I only completed Ashe's route.
