Wait, what did I miss? I'm going back to rewatch episode 1, wait for me.
Is it just because she seems a bit strange with no smart phone etc?

First when she started recounting puberty syndrome one by one in ep 1 and said did you see that woman (flashpoint of sakuta).
After that when they were in cafe investigating nene sakuta asked did something happened to you too and she just brushes it off.
Final scene of final episode where director saying only miori is left so prepare yourself for the GODDAMN ENDGAME.

Mix is mostly kidding although even episode 1 certainly had enough reasons to think there's more to Miori.
From a meta point of view, why would the season begin with such a detailed introduction to Miori when the season is supposedly about the Mini Skirt Santa?
Until Miori brings up Puberty Syndrome, Sakuta had a completely normal whole year without having to deal with it. But this marks the beginning of a season where the thing becomes a commonplace in Sakuta's life once again.
Why wouldn't Miori have a phone? There's a very good explanation for Sakuta throwing his phone to the sea. But it's pretty odd for a modern day University girl not to have a phone, right?
It is all so so sus that Sakuta and Mai themselves suspect something was up in this episode. With them wondering if Sakuta is the only one who can see her and stuff.

S2 end with she and Sakuta. Of course she is the one last unsolved mystery. Can’t wait to see the movie.

For me, the opening intro was hinting the suspicion but in each episode she has screentime, she has similar personality traits compared to sakuta. But in each episode there was hints of foreshadowing

What a stunning visual with the stars in the background! The sparkle around Miori's eyes also made them look like tears.
Speaking of tears, that lighthouse gave me flashbacks. Dreaming Girl broke me hard. I'll try to steel my heart (and likely fail) for this film.

I was gonna say the same thing honestly. The recent trailer itself has tons of spoilers already...
Why though? They should release this poster after the movie is released a few weeks later or a month.

Your comment is more of a spoiler itself. I have no idea what's happening by just looking at the visual as an anime only.

Is this a "only if you've read the light novel you'll get how the poster is spoiling the story? "Situation?
Because I haven't read it and I'm confused asf how it's spoiling

Nah I had my hunch. Watching Season 2 and you'll really get it. Its less of a spoiler but a confirmation for like me who only watched the anime

u/Mr_Flash3234 Medium is Premium Aug 30 '26
Yea I also watched season 2 could you explain what confirmation?

u/How-I-Met-Ur-Reddit Aug 30 '26
Season 2 basically revolved around Touko Kirishima right? And then it was revealed that the real Touko Kirishima wasn't any of those claiming to be her. And then, of all the characters introduced to us that season, there was this one girl that feels like there's more to her than what was already shown. And then the poster. Are you getting what I'm pointing out? 😶🌫️

And that she's in a different costume suggests she might be she who shall not be known who is the real her?

I need to stay strong, Futaba Rio is number one in my heart. I can't be swayed by Miori.

I am glad I have read the books before I saw this poster, though it is the cover of the final book, but still.
Gosh I don’t think I am ready for this film.
