Although the anime series "The Quintessential Quintuplets" sadly concluded in 2022, its popularity has not waned. Even today, its well-developed characters and entertaining anime continue to garner support from a wide audience. This work is already complete, not only as an anime series but also in the original manga. The story itself explores the mystery of "Which heroine will Fuutarou end up with?" Since the end of the series already revealed Fuutarou's bride, it's difficult to create a sequel. Given this situation, most people were skeptical of a sequel to the "Quintessential Quintuplets" series. However, news broke earlier this year that the series would be adapted into an anime called "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽." Fans were thrilled to hear the announcement of the anime adaptation, which they thought was impossible, and many were excited. However, due to their low expectations, many fans likely knew nothing about the content of "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽"! So, today, I'd like to introduce the Summer Vacation Arc, one of the most important episodes from "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" that you'll want to remember! It's a crucial episode in the story, so be sure to check it out!
Collecting episodes from the original manga that weren't depicted yet!
First, I'd like to give a brief introduction to "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽." The upcoming broadcast of "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" is not an official sequel to the original series, but rather an anime series that brings together episodes that have not yet been depicted.
It's a shame that this ever-popular series has come to an end!
It's a shame that this series, which continues to enjoy great popularity, has already come to an end. However, if it were to be adapted into anime on a regular basis in the future, like "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽," that would be very exciting.
Will it be expanded into a variety of media in the future?!
Of course, there are limits to continuing an anime series by simply depicting past stories. However, I believe that various content can be developed in fields other than anime, so I hope that this "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" series will further accelerate its media expansion.
Will there be a third season of "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽"?
Though "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" follows the second season of "The Quintessential Quintuplets," it is not a clear sequel in terms of the story, and opinions seem divided on whether it should be called the third season of the anime. Since this anime airs after the second season, I refer to it as the "third season of the anime" in articles on AnimeMiru, but it should be noted that opinions are divided on this point.
The Summer Vacation Arc will also be released in theaters!
As such, "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" aims to adapt many episodes that could not be animated. So why are we featuring the "Summer Vacation Arc" today? Well, it's because the Summer Vacation Arc will not only be broadcast as a TV anime, but will also be released as a theatrical animated film!
Enjoy it both on TV and in theaters!
Did you know that the "Summer Vacation Arc" was heavily promoted by the production team, unlike the other episodes? As you can see, the Summer Vacation Arc is a truly spectacular episode that can be enjoyed both on TV and in theaters, so I wanted to introduce it to everyone, and that's why I wrote this article!
Content perfect for the summer vacation
The theatrical release is scheduled for July, right in time for the summer vacation. It's incredibly exciting to be able to enjoy episodes from the same season as the theatrical release during the summer vacation!
Feels like a festival
Though the Summer Vacation Arc of "The Quintessential Quintuplets∽" has concluded as a work, for fans who still want to enjoy the series, this episode feels like a festival of sorts. For fans who were feeling depressed because they thought a sequel would be difficult, this is truly welcome news!
What is the Summer Vacation Arc?
Now, I'd like to briefly introduce the Summer Vacation Arc. This time, I'll be introducing it based on the original manga, so there may be some changes, but I think the following content will likely be depicted in the anime.
Futaro Goes to the Sea
Summer vacation arrives for Futaro, who has been busy helping the quintuplets with their studies and working hard to support the family finances. However, the studious Futaro was meant to study even during the summer vacation, but his younger sister Raiha discovers that he has hidden a romance book, and before he knows it, she has persuaded him to go to the sea with her. (But how did that happen?!)
Encounter with Classmates
So, Fuutarou and Raiha head to the beach. At first, he quietly tries to relax under his parasol, but he bumps into his high school classmates and ends up having a great time.
And finally, with the quintuplets!?
Futaro had a rare, fun time, but on the way home, he felt a little unsatisfied. To make up for that feeling, he called the quintuplets, to his surprise. The "Summer Vacation Arc" begins with a whole lot of exciting content, including Futaro's changing mood and the quintuplets' swimsuits!
Summer Vacation Arc Highlights
Now that we've outlined the Summer Vacation Arc, we'd like to introduce some highlights. The Summer Vacation Arc is such an important episode in the story that it makes you wonder, "Why didn't they include it in previous anime series?!" Be sure to check out these highlights!
Futaro's Change in State of Mind
First, pay attention to the change in Futaro's state of mind. Up until now, Futaro has had a lone wolf-like personality, avoiding unnecessary contact with people. However, through his interactions with the quintuplets, he gradually learns to interact with others. In this summer vacation arc, we can see this change in Futaro's state of mind through his interactions with his classmates and his invitations to play with the quintuplets, so be sure to pay attention!
The Quintuplets' Changes in Feelings
Futaro isn't the only one whose feelings change. As the quintuplets gradually develop feelings for Futaro, he invites them out for the first time, and one of the sisters becomes more aware of him. It'll be interesting to see how each of the quintuplets reacts to this and how their feelings toward Futaro change.
Memories at the Apartment
Also, at this point, the quintuplets move out of the apartment they've been living in. While it's unclear whether this will be depicted in the anime, it's a scene where the quintuplets look back on their memories at the apartment, so be sure to check it out.
Enjoy it at the theater!
As you can see, the Summer Vacation Edition has many interesting points, but I highly recommend watching it in theaters! From here, I'd like to explain why I recommend watching the Summer Vacation Edition in theaters.
A chance to enjoy it in the theater!
First, the peak of this series' popularity has passed. While this series still enjoys strong popularity, in recent years, popular works such as "Oshi no Ko" have emerged, and it seems that fans are gradually shifting to new anime series. While this is unavoidable since the original work is complete, this may be your last chance to enjoy this series in theaters, so you'll definitely want to see it in theaters.
The previous film recorded high box office revenue!
Another reason why we want you to enjoy this film in theaters is the high box office revenue of the previous film. Despite being an anime aimed at young adults, the previous film set an incredible record, grossing over 2 billion yen. This alone proves the high quality of this film's theatrical release, so we're certainly looking forward to this one.
Especially now that the COVID-19 pandemic is over!
And above all, this year marks the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to enjoy movies in theaters without any hesitation. This is another reason why we recommend watching the film. If you haven't enjoyed watching an anime film before, this might be the perfect first experience.
Summary
