Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead but my wife and I recently discovered this anime and have been watching it on Hulu. Is this thing only 2 seasons long or does it look like it will go 3 or 4?

Second Season's being billed as the final season and at the rate it's going, it'll definitely hit the end.

Is this scene from the most recent episode of the anime a nod to a manga-only scene? It shows A flashback of someone outside a blue-haired boy's room stabbing someone with a rapier in a series of elegant backflips. Subtitles: "People admire those who change them. Like a child whose life is saved by a doctor admiring doctors and wanting to be one. Like a boy bewitched by beautiful skills longing to be an assassin..." It seems somehow out of character for Nagisa to say that he longed to be an assassin. The show's version of Nagisa (almost) always seemed extremely reluctant about it. Is it just a scene that I had forgotten?

That sounds like the second God of Death.

It looks like Houjou has been cut from the anime entirely. I can't seem to feel anything about that. But well done to Funimation for messing up Hiroto Maehara's name in the phone chat scene. And it's even correct in the credits too.

Maybe, but so what? In the end he was a massive disappointment. The whole ending, while super, super sad, was disappointed as far as the students actually accomplishing anything meaningful.

MonsterEnvy posted:He was only beaten because he said "They never gave him a chance to take them seriously." Pretty much. It's a great flip around from their initial encounter where they got schooled, and gave them a chance to show off their assassin skills versus a worthy opponent. Their final exam, so to speak.

Well, putting all that aside, there's something even more weird. I have no idea why they cut Houjou and his team of mercenaries. Time? But since they did, that's a platoon of actual Japanese soldiers the kids are kicking the crap out of, and in at least one case outright torturing. It seems even more unlikely than the manga that the kids would just be let go without consequences after that.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure the government doesn't really want to do anything which might make the kids spill the beans about the whole "We agreed to train children as assassins to kill their teacher who was a super powered monster" deal. I mean, sure, you can say "Oh, who'd believe a bunch of high-school students over the government!" but even so, I'm pretty sure they'd prefer not to have to compete for credibility. And it wouldn't be easy to cover up; if nothing else, Principal Asano knows about it. For that matter, the kids probably have a shitload of photos, too.

That was an alright ending, but I wish they'd brought back Nagisa's boyfriend for the denouement in some form or another.

This manga was insanely good and unless there's more to discuss, I wouldn't mind this thread being closed. Just saying~

I just ordered them from Amazon last night, I even paid the extra euro to get them delivered before Wednesday. My post didn't contribute much but I was excited and also didn't realise it was a finished series. That's good news though because I have more faith in it being a consistently good thing if it had a relatively short run compared to other big Shounen titles that ran for an eternity. Considering it's finished I'm sure there's a general Shounen thread I can post in in future

Yeah the author knew when to finish it instead of dragging it along. Helps that there's a defined time limit stated in the beginning.

Captain Invictus posted:Like that's ever stopped someone dragging out a series before. They could go day by day and have 365+ chapters just like that. Yeah, it's worth pointing out that the final three hundred chapters of Natuto, nearly half of the manga, took place over the course of two days.
