YMMV / Waiting in the Summer

• Broken Base: The audience was divided in opinion, so it was necessary to show the open end, if Kaito and Ichika are practically cemented as Official Couple, and Kanna seems to have absolutely no chance even after Kaito temporarily remained alone? At the same time, it seems that all this was a pure formality for the sake of Sequel Hook.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: Traditionally for the Onegai series, you can guess the result of Love Triangle after 2-3 episodes.
• Cliché Storm: How much can you imagine in the context of an anime romance with the rivalry of a jealous childhood friend and a new girl. At the same time, the plot has enough depth to cover it.
• Crowning Music Of Awesome: The ending theme song, Vidro Moyou by Nagi Yanagi is simply divine.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Remon, thanks to her savviness and Trolling.
• Fanon: Although it has never been officially confirmed, most fans believe the truth is that Ichiki is Misuho's daughter from the original series, which makes this show Spin-Offspring. This theory is based on the fact that they have a Strong Family Resemblance and the plot seems to hint at their common origin in the last episodes. However, it also simultaneously turns the end of the original show into Bitter Sweet Ending because of the assumption that Kei and Mizuho were eventually separated.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: The main complaint about the show. Although the anime was pretty successful and got positive ratings, some of the audience complained that it was just a copy of Please Teacher! with a bunch of Expy, but without Teacher/Student Romance. In addition, the plot also borrows some lines from Onegai Twins, primarily in the context of the Tetsuro and Kanna, whose line is actually a inspired by Kousei and Tsubaki.
• The Woobie: Poor Kanna, for 12 episodes she turned out to be Romantic Runner-Up in two love triangles at once. In practice, only the open end of the show saves her from the status of Memetic Loser.
