Q "If the manga route is a sequel to the music route and the prequel to the novel route, then what about the anime? Is it placed between any of these?"

A "For the anime route apparently Jin has commented in an interview that

“It is the closest route to the latter”

That’s pretty much the only information we know for the timeline of the anime route so far^^;

Also maybe everyone already knows this but another interesting fact is that there is a scene where a construction site appears in episode 4 (right after the opening), and there is a signboard that is written “Until October 7th, 2200″. So people are estimating that the time is set around in that year."

It is also interesting how despite such a supposed far future timeline, Jin apparently chooses to not improve orphanage conditions for the Trio's storyline. This likely also includes strict adoption laws (or their surnames would have all likely changed).

I hope these references can be considered seriously, as they are all direct scans from official sources. If they can't be included as references despite being scans (and official material), would as "notes" or for trivia suffice?

(My earlier comment with this did not go through, so just in case, I am sending this again.)
