NowonSA posted:I have faith that we're getting quite a bit more Kaguya. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if it just kept going until the manga ends, there's enough of a lead right now to comfortably do two more seasons, and even if they put out a season a year by then there would be enough manga road ahead to do a fifth. The manga is indeed fantastic and continues to be fantastic but I think a theoretical season four would conclude with the arc that just started. Season 3 is definitely ready for an adaptation though, unlike when season 1 of the anime completed.

macabresca posted:The thing is though that in majority of fiction I know if the character like that appears it's always in this specific context, i.e. the main character, an outsider, likes a girl and this girl has an rear end in a top hat boyfriend but only the mc knows that and because of that he's bullied by the boyfriend while the girl remains blissfully unaware and usually unharmed. Whereas in reality the women are the victims. It makes the girl seem like just a subject of contention between the guys and her abusive relationship is mc's drama. Ootomo was absolutely a victim here. She’s just too young to really realise what happened and rationalised it as being Ishigami’s fault her boyfriend dropped her like hot garbage the instant staying with her was more complicated than dumping her.

It would be nice though to see a female character having more agency in a situation that ultimately revolves around her? I dunno, it's just a personal pet peeve of mine I'm afraid. People get bullied and ostracised in school for all sorts of reasons and this scenario just seems a bit too contrived for my liking.

Ootomo's an airy dumbass and Ogino was a scumbag with a talent for directing the narrative who knew how to milk it for all it's worth. It's not that contrived, especially since it's Ishigami who had the same kind of warped justice as Miko Iino did back in the day.

Yeah I thought Ogino's delivery was maybe too hammy for what the story needed, but I think the main thrust of the story is believable enough.

If a writer creates a moderately exaggerated world where someone as heroically benevolent as Shirogane can exist, then logically that writer could also see how someone as manipulatively evil as Ogino (or for that matter, Shinomiya's family) could fit in there as well. I'm not expecting a low-key, sober comedy whenever I fire up another episode and so it goes with the drama; as to how effective it was is wholly your taste, but I feel the situation's nightmarish depiction worked as an extension of the values & tone of the series, rather than an antithesis. It can be argued that the resolution is in many respects a deus ex machina, but the foundation of the show had already established that the StuCo members engage in 5D mindgames in their daily squabbles, so when it comes time to put their heads together & do some real council work, they can accomplish extraordinary things.Folt The Bolt posted:Ootomo's an airy dumbass and Ogino was a scumbag with a talent for directing the narrative who knew how to milk it for all it's worth.

I feel like we learned a lot about Hayasaka today, between the enthusiasm for technology and the secret cuddle time with two cute girls Great show, improved on an already excellent first season in basically every regard, easily the best anime I watched this season.

I was watching thinking 'hm, doesn't feel like final episode, odd', and then they went and exploded that balloon, wtf Next season is gonna be postapocalyptic drama where Kaguya and Miyuki join forces in order to take down Subject F before it destroys the world entirely. Oh, and an extremely bad opinion icoming, proceed with caution: The openings were fine, I guess? They fit the show nicely but I don't get why everybody loves them so much

Song and animation both set the show's mood so well IMO Sindai posted:A finale that perfectly encompasses the series' ability to pivot between heartwarming and comedy. I feel like that's something S2 really wildly improved on relative to S1. S1 I was much more interested in the comedy than the romance, and while that's still true of S2 to an extent, there were tons of beats both small and large that gave me a much more specific appreciation for the characters themselves beyond just the gags this time around.

I was wondering if they were gonna get to the broken phone chapter, and the way they did it was a good way to end the season I thought. It felt like Joshikosei no Mudazukai where the climax was in the second-last episode with the finale pivoting back to the primary main characters with a sweet story that goes back to its roots of petty scheming. They alluded to it in a previous episode but Hayasaka acting like a geek in public is delightful. Ishigami is also a hottie when he cleans himself up; the two of them would probably get along pretty well if Hayasaka can act like her unguarded self.

And we knew about her school friends from previous episodes. She was dancing with them in last season's finale before all hell broke loose as should continue to happen with every subsequent finale.
