I, uh, huh.

This has been a truly terrible season.

 

[Jarmel]

I, uh, huh.

Yea that threw me for a loop when I heard it. I had to pause the episode as I was laughing too hard.

What I hope to see next episode:

Glad the production recovered for such a fantastic conclusion.

 

[Tuck]

So My Hero Academia was apparently confirmed for April, and we're getting another preview soon.


Key visual for the new season of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

BBB is getting another season? Didn't season 1 go way off from what the manga did?

Euphonium S2-11

I don't think this is the worst episode of the show despite what people seem to be claiming. This episode was a lot more angry than the rest of the series and so I found it to be kind of interesting in that regards. The scene where she's having a daydream/flashback and Taki snaps it out of her by clapping his hands is somewhat brutal due to the sound direction and voice acting. Even the throwback to S1 with the mountain scene works as there's a juxtaposition to the early event and now, where Reina is just pissed off at the world.

Wait did Kumiko just make it seem like a good thing that Taki's wife is dead? "Girl you gotta move in on that prime real estate". The material itself is fairly garbage but that's been the status quo for awhile. Half of this episode is Reina being mad that she possibly can't fuck her decade older teacher. I'm not sure if the other half is her coming to terms with it not happening or trying to figure out what Taki-sensei likes in his women. At this point I just want to get to the Nationals, which I feel the school should probably get blown out at this stage. Something my father says is, "Perfect practice makes perfect". In which case what sort of performance is a band that has been seemingly in near freefall for different reasons going to give? The show brushes it aside though by just having some stupid line about how the 'troubled' band member is now performing better suddenly, like Kumiko has been doing loyalty missions in a Bioware game and now the character has + stats.

This is hilarious, and not in a good way.

Chaos;Head is in the read the visual novel or don't bother category. I doubt the anime would even tell you much of use for Chaos:Child.

I heard Chaos;Child will only be 12 episodes which is a real problem since the VN is longer than Steins;Gate. I suspect there will be pacing issues

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Yea that threw me for a loop when I heard it. I had to pause the episode as I was laughing too hard.

I was kinda taking it as Reina maybe not yet knowing that his wife died and Kumiko wanting to clarify that. Plus awkwardness and perhaps bad translation.

Because, well, otherwise the show is thrice as fucked up in regards to the Reina-Taki relationship than it already is and I would hope KyoAni wouldn't seriously have Kumiko say something as outrageous.

Maybe someone who understands Japanese can chime in on that.

12 episodes means it will be a glorified ad. I wonder if they will even try to adapt the entire main story.

They can always do the same thing they did with Occultic;Nine and adapted 1 lightnovel worth of content in 1 episode...
Plz don't do that ever again.

Jumping ahead to check on that particular scene, while I'm not fluent the English subtitles appear to be an accurate translation of the Japanese spoken dialogue.

If that were the case, I don't think she'd need to preface her statement with "You may think I'm awful for saying this".

 

[GoldCrusader]

But they did not do that in O;9 tho, the first volume content was separated between at least 3 episodes.

Aye, thanks.

If that were the case, I don't think she'd need to preface her statement with "You make think I'm awful for saying this".

Yeh... it's just my sanity was hoping they didn't go there.

But I guess they actually did.

2016 got to KyoAni

 

[Haly]

I remember Hyouka, those were good times.

 

[dimb]

I would say that the worst part of Eupo S2, particularly episode eleven, is how dreary the tone is. There really is not much levity brought to the material outside of the rare Kumiko goofball face (pm me good ones if you have them). But as the drama is amped up it really just darkens the mood until it blots out everything else. What's in this story? Abusive mom. Dead wife. Physical pain from seeing other individuals who used to be your friends. It's a really down in the dumps show without any real insight into its heavy content.

 

[names2hard4you]

I remember Hyouka, those were good times.

Euphonium S1 was good times too (not as good as Hyouka, but yah). S2 isn't solely KyoAni's fault, this was the writer's fault when she pumped those two novels back to back and totally screwed everything up. KyoAni still gets props for animating and acting with the mediocre material that they get as best as they can. At least it's beautiful? Idkanymore

That's partially why I liked episode 11 a bit as it's not so much dreary as angry. That cold anger can be seen in how the shots are done, that scene transition in the middle, and the colors to a limited extent. Reina being pissed off made for a good contrast compared to the previous arcs and episodes.

I mean I guess Reina's cold nature is a quiet sort of mad that permeates most scenes, but in the end the sticking point of the episode is tales from the grave...of your love interest's dead wife. Does not really do much to shift the overall tone of the season for me.

My condolences to Euph fans.

[ThatChairMan]

12 episodes means it will be a glorified ad. I wonder if they will even try to adapt the entire main story.

The worst of this is if all it does is fast-forward through major plot points without any of the build up or in-between, like Chaos;Head's anime. And the VN isn't even localized yet, so I can't fall back on that.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Jarmel didn't even include the kicker line that happens right afterwards:

So is Euphonium S2 bad?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

So is Euphonium S2 bad?

There's a lot of really strong animation and cinematography, but at the same time quite a bit of highly questionable writing.

 

[ibyea]

Jarmel didn't even include the kicker line that happens right afterwards:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Holy crap that is funny as hell.

 

[Syrinx]

Wait she winked too when she said that?

Uh...huh.

 

[names2hard4you]

So is Euphonium S2 bad?

It's not very good.

Wait she winked too when she said that?

Uh...huh.

She didn't wink that was Jarmel joking. Still a bad scene nonetheless.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Wait she winked too when she said that?

Uh...huh.

No, that was Jarmel's embellishment. That scene doesn't show us Kumiko's face while she's saying that line.

 

[Quasar]

So is Euphonium S2 bad?

To some apparently. Will be in my top 5 I expect when I vote.

 

[Syrinx]

Oh okay.

Not that it isn't questionable but that would have been...well I don't need to explain.

 

[duckroll]

No, that was Jarmel's embellishment. That scene doesn't show us Kumiko's face while she's saying that line.

If the scene doesn't show her face, is it really an embellishment? Sounds like it could have happened!

It seems like it actually might get localized, so I'll just skip the anime entirely.

Maybe not if your favorite song is Hot For Teacher.

 

[ThatChairMan]

I might actually consider that as well, but I've been too starved on any SciAdv Chaos-related stuff to just skip it completely. Will probably at least watch the first few episodes in the slight hope that it isn't just a shameless ad.

Truly the wisest show this season. Better sakuga than anything else too.

Gaito and Abygale are looking happier and kinder than ever, this is Aoi Shouta I missed. The fight with Kyoya was fantastic though again

Kyoya lost due to plot, hes too good to lose, next time I hope he wins

OMG this looks amazing, the animation in that PV looks amazing! Season 2 will be so amazing. I trust in BONES.

Edit: Relooking at it again they really seemed to have upped their game. I mean it looks amazing!

 

[Moaradin]

plz be better than s1

It will be better simply because of the material it's adapting. This is when I got hooked on the manga.

I back this up, the tournament arc is fantastic! Even after that it just goes up and up.

Rogue One

Hey that's a lot better than SW7(aka SW4 remaster).

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

So is Euphonium S2 bad?

No, but the quality is usually directly related to how much Yuko is on screen.

It's not as good as Season 1, but the highs have still been really great. The lows are just a lot lower than anything from Season 1.
