>The new season will tone down the serious aspects and have a lot of romantic comedy hijinks

Thank goodness. The last 3 episodes is pure garbage.

No kiss confirmed

Wasn't there a pink haired chuuni girl in the original story? Maybe she'll be a main character in the second season.

>New character(s) will be introduced.

So Satone confirmed?

I just hope we see more of Dekomori and Toka.

All Satone brought was drama.
They're going to treat the second volume like they treated the first one.

>>86466583
No. The drama was terrible and incredibly melodramatic.

>>86466583
I can't speak for everyone else, but I really disliked the serious aspects of the show. It's a lot better without the drama.

>>86466583

I remember a lot of posts about hating the show once it hit the halfway point and the drama kicked in. Of course, now that we're going to get comedy hijinks everyone will now suddenly say that they loved the last half.

>The new season will tone down the serious aspects and have a lot of romantic comedy hijinks.
So it'll be everything we wanted when the series started?

THANK FUCK.

>>86466442 (OP)
I told you so. Enjoy your shitty harem comedy with no saving grace.

Those people are retarded, since they clearly stated that the show would have drama and whatnot in it.
Going into it not expecting that is their own fault.

Oh cool, we're getting another comedy/fanservice anime.

>>86466862

Fuck this series, fuck the people who like it, and fuck KyoAni for stooping to this level. Chuu2 was in no way, shape, or form a good anime, and the fact that it's getting a season 2 is more of a commentary on the sad state of anime today than anything else.

I can't wait for more retards to flood /a/ when this is airing, just like what happened with the first season.

Three or more girls with romantic affection for the MC is a harem.

You really, really, honestly, truly believe the drama in Chuu2 was better than the drama in AS or Kanon 2006?

Like, that's just such horrible taste that I can't take you seriously. You either haven't seen Kanon 2006 or Clannad and are just being a faggot (highly likely considering this is Chuu2 and the new KyoAni fanbase), or you're just so ridiculously new to anime that you fool yourself into thinking Chuu2 is good.

More Touka battles would be nice as well.

I liked when they animated Key stuff a lot better than their newer projects (tamako being the worst by far)

The directing was so good for visual novel adaptations, too. Kanon being a prime example

>>86467079
No, I want a proper Little Busters (not that JC Staff pile or garbage) or a Rewrite adaptation, but a new FMP or Haruhi would be more than welcome also. Hell, I'd welcome a new K-On! before another season of this fucking pandering, shitty, newfag attracting pile of garbage.

So it devolves back into a SoL harem moeshit?
Well, what else did expect from KyoAni?

Good, because the melodrama was handled in a terrible way. KyoAni are awful at that.

>>86467206
I just want more Touka.

She's perfect.

>>86467212
Me too, anon. Me too. KyoAni is naught but a shell of their former self at this point, and their fanbase is full of people who have seen 30 series and consider Chuu2 and Hyouka masterpieces.

Semantics. But I can agree.

>>86466975
Because they needed to make volume 1 to be watchable as they themselves said. They have very little reason to do as extensive changes to the next volume when there's already fanbase than will lap it up. She is pretty much confirmed.

>>86466538
Why do you make it sound like you have to watch it?

>>86467119
Oh please. The original Clannad's drama was all over the place. You can't ignore it just because AS managed to finally get its shit together.

>>86467222
The only redeeming factor of the show is the antics so yes. Look elsewhere if you want melodrama.

>>86467100
>"Grr, her father died! Such a shitty plot element!"

>>86467222

Are you implying that a romcom needs half a cour of drama to fill 12 episodes?
Or that before the drama kicked in we only had 2 running jokes?

Either way, you're retarded.

>>86467362
I think it's the second best thing they've made since Disappearance, the first being the K-On movie, but even then Hyouka is an 8/10 at best. Long, long gone are the days when the entirety of /a/ cried in unison and sang a final "dango dango daikazoku" together.

>>86467456
Clannad obvoiusly isn't as good or emotional as AS, but it's still miles better than the drama bullshit they pulled in Chuu2.

>>86467119
This whole post feels like bait.

>watching kyoani shows for the drama

Surely you people can't be this retarded, right?

>>86467521
It was handled poorly. All of the drama in Chuuni was. That's what made it bad.

That's a good thing you retards wanting more melodrama; the show worked much better without all that shit souring the last eps of the first season.

The whole subject and manner of the show doesn't really merit a spr srs mode attitude. It's about people being autistic and how they grow out of it; it doesn't always have to be a rude awakening that changes thing over night, people just grow out of that kind of shit naturally and that's what should happen here.

>>86467601
But the drama in Chu2koi and Hyouka were good.

>>86467623
Please tell me how it was handled poorly.
It was woven into the story very well and was executed perfectly.

>>86467623
Tell us how you would handle the drama then?

And no "I wouldn't have drama in it in the first place" reply.

>>86467636
Incorrect.

Will this air this year or 2014?

>>86467629
>and that's what should happen here.
It would've been a really boring anime if it were just "Oh, I just think it looks/sounds cool, therefore I act this way! Maybe I'll just stop lol"

>>86467671

I don't think *most* of the serious aspects of chuu2koi were handled poorly, but the final episode certainly was.

It really kind of shit the bed and compromized all the drama that had taken place up until that point.

>>86467681
No. Correct, because it was woven into the story and not just "forced", like you people say.

>>86467549
This honestly pisses me off. The fact that you think someone saying anime like Kanon 2006 and Clannad are better and more emotional than the pile of pandering shit that is Chuu2 is bait is just completely ridiculous to me.

I think I'm just way too old and have seen way too many anime for what /a/ is now.

>>86466442 (OP)
>New character(s) will be introduced.
Maybe we'll get actual good characters then, unlike last time.

>>86467743
It wasn't forced; it just came out of nowhere and was handled very poorly. They could have done a much better job if they had competent writers.

>>86467213

Because FMP, K-On!, and Haruhi isn't totally a "fucking pandering, shitty, newfag attracting pile of garbage" right?

Listen to how stupid you sound.

>>86467544
The problem with chuu2's drama is the bullshit backpaddling they did in the last episode. It's like an "Fuck character development, we're gonna milk the shit out of this for a second season."

>>86467767
Both of those are adaptations of Key novels, while Chuu2 is a mostly original take on the source material. Comparing them is fucking stupid.

It's hilarious how people are using "KEYshit" as a serious argument now when it all started as a shitty troll back when After Story ended.

>>86467849
>"Fuck character development, we're gonna milk the shit out of this for a second season."
But there were lots of character development.

>>86467814
For one, FMP and KOn didn't attract /b/ here. I say that alone makes it much better.

but I liked the last half of season 1

>>86467671
Not him but the letter Yuuta sent to his future self and receiving it in a way too convenient time was retarded.
Also, I didn't like the patch revelation and Touka having to leave, again, in a way too convenient time.

>>86467863
No, they're adaptations of KEY visual novels, not novels.

>>86467767

Pfft, Kanon 2006 had the most terrible drama I ever had the displeasure of watching.

I could turn that train wreck into a better story by not shoehorning deaths back and forth, and sprinkling magic to "make it all better!"

Atleast Chuu2 made sense.

>>86467895
/b/ doesn't watch anime.

>>86467849

>>86467671

No. Here's the part where you sarcastically compliment my reply, as if saying it was "woven into the story very well and was executed perfectly" are solid arguments worthy of rebuttal.

>>86467887
What? You call the whole "It's okay to be chuu2 shit" character development? They are fucking devolving.

>>86467885
I'm pretty sure "Keyshit" is quite older that AS.

>>86467922
>convenient
That's just you forcing that word.
Watch the show without that mindset and it's a pretty sweet and happy conclusion.

>>86467887
>But there were lots of character development.

That they tossed out.

What they went with amounted to "DON'T CHANGE, GO BACK TO THE USUAL YOU" rather than something more moderated like balancing being normal abnd being chuuni

>>86467943
A visual novel is still a novel, genius.

>>86467814
Compared to Chuu2, they aren't at all. The people Chuu2 attracted to /a/ was worse than when gaia was all over /a/.

I don't know if it was people spamming the .gifs all over /b/, /v/, and /sp/ that attracted them here or what, but holy shit. Last winter was a horrible, horrible time to be on /a/ because of them. The worst part is, a lot of them stayed.

>>86467964
Which is good. Too bad they watched Chuuni.

>>86467964
I feel tempted to go ask them what anime they watch and if they come to /a/ to prove you wrong.

>>86467922

A.K.A: "I keep moving the goalpost. So, I'm going to assume he's not making any sense!"

But I have, it's all focused on stale drama to capture a poor bastard's emotions quite easily. explain how it was written correctly without using the constant deaths I mentioned at the very end of the season.

Ultimately, if Chuu2 and Hyouka prove anything, the story doesn't matter. People will love it as long as the production is top tier

>>86468374
The difference was, back then, even the shittiest of shitposters could agree the KEY adaptations from KyoAni were good anime, even if they didn't like them.

Now, people legitimately believe they don't need to see Air or Clannad or Kanon 2006 because they're "KEYshit" and "forced drama." It still blows my mind that there are people on /a/ right now that haven't seen Clannad and AS after the fucking shitstorm we had when Nagisa died.

I'm surprised this is getting a second season.... it was okay. I liked it about as much as Tamako which wasn't very much.

Was it really that popular?

You're probably just forgot most of it. People always disliked KyoAni and Key and argued with those who liked it. Only thing that changed is that now nobody ever mentions Planetarian.

>>86468527
You said it was a trainwreck. Explain how it was a trainwreck.

You said it "shoehorned deaths back and forth," which doesn't even make sense. I don't think "shoehorn" means what you think it means.

There was no magic involved in Kanon 2006. There was some supernatural elements, but when everything was nothing but a comatose dream from Ayu, some fantastical stuff is to be expected.

And finally, you implied Kanon 2006 didn't make sense, and the only way you can say this is if you a) are mentally retarded or b) didn't actually watch the anime and tried to understand it from a plot synopsis.

I don't get where you keep getting these "deaths" from when nobody really dies. Characters leave and move on once Yuuichi helps them or "fixes" them, but that's not death at all. The only one you could argue that truly died was Shiori, but she doesn't die. She's just sent back to the hospital (which you'd know if you read the VN).

You know absolutely nothing about Kanon, so quit trying to shoehorn (watch, I'm going to use this word correctly) you shitty ideas of what you think the anime is into what it actually is.

If you water messages down, everything is going to be the same.

Because this is /a/, and /a/ is full of casuals who don't read VNs. Planetarian is one of KEY's best VNs, only behind Little Busters and Rewrite in my opinion.

Maybe, though in Dekomori's case, the only thing she had to suffer for being a chuu2 was losing her best friend for a while.

So, how about that fox turning into a human because of a miracle?

I like how in this kind of series what you don't like is because "hurr it's a SoL, deal with it".
I liked Hyouka.
I didn't like k-on, yet I can see why people like it.
I don't see how anyone could "love" Tamako Market.

Ok, faggot. I'll be perfectly honest here, since I'm quite tired.

Wrong. If Kanon were a horror story, more would make sense, because, just like every other Key series, Kanon systematically tries to murder every focus character in the male protagonists' Messiah Complex wake. Except that they don't even have the ball to stick to a single death in the show; moments later the writing backtracks (once it scored the tears from viewers hearts) and magically brings characters back to life.

If I took this show seriously, I would think that this was some horrible misogynistic fantasy about a boy who is the only person capable of saving all these girls lives within the span of what? Two months? Once Yuuichi has saved the girl of the arc, we don't hear of them ever again until the end when, of course, we have to have the pussy parade to show how much the protagonist has accomplished. Kanon is the worst offender in the Key series of trying to have some pseudo-metaphysical lore intertwine with the plot in that it directly affects these characters in the most mindboggling plot twists. Faith healers, fox spirits, girls with magical wishes? Furthermore, the overall plot development is set aside for the gir of the arc stories so that, by the last four or five episode they try, in futility to make the story work.
To confess, accept and lose someone you love all in the same episode, without any buildup whatsoever, what is that supposed to do? Am I supposed to feel bad? The writing doesn't let characters organically grow with one another in exchange for the "mystery" factor so that, once the leads are together, you ask yourself, What makes her more special than the others?...you forgot about all of these girls, and didn't remember them until it was too late. It's the same with her. Why is she special? Ridiculous.

this may be the biggest buzzword of /a/

Okay, let me rephrase that properly to settle your autism.

It's a SoL that you happen to don't like. simple, quite simple.

>So, how about that fox turning into a human because of a miracle?

That's supernatural, not magic. It was all a part of Ayu's dream anyway.

It's more like it moved into "ancient" category, not that /a/ doesn't read VNs. Generation moved, people don't even remember /a/jp/ split.
