>>120084556
It was like Vividred with Madoka but the first 8 episodes were really slow and the final episode should not have been changed.
It was a poor mess as a mixed media project since you have to read the Washio Sumi prequel to get the whole picture.

Better than Nanoha, Madoka, Sakura, Sailor Moon or Princess Tutu. Definitely better than the other mass of obscure, unpopular shows.
Unless you count Utena as Mahou Shojo, which I wouldn't (the fact it has a transformation sequence of some kind isn't really enough) than I still stand my ground.

>>120084556
I keep reading many people praises YuYuYu for making interesting characters given how much SoL episodes unlike other magical girl series in which they are plot instruments. The suffering part fired up quickly and in the final episode they just went full rush. They decided to invest a lot of moments for the characters instead of building a way to tell a proper ending. With all the delayed suffering and 'deathflags' in the early episodes I seriously don't think it's something it deserves praise. Those episodes spend in SoL is just expected to have characterization. I think it would have been better the suffering appeared it before so the ending wouldn't have been shit.

>>120088626
I feel like if it had just gone straight into the suffering early on, it would just be a Madoka ripoff. What sets YuYuYu apart is that it's about character interaction first and foremost; even the final conflict between Yuuna and Tougou is more about their conflicting feelings than being an actual magical girl battle. It's all of the SoL that makes the suffering hit harder when it comes.
I agree that the ending was rushed, but then again so does everybody. They really should've had a 13th episode. I think that it was fairly obvious that they really really wanted to end with the cultural festival and thus sorta trapped themselves into having to heal everyone and Yuuna in 10 minutes.
>>120088640
I think the only missing scenarios are 'Battle under the blazing sun' and 'Overcome the weakness'.

>>120089033
In a 12-episode series, I'm not sure you have any excuse for not having the pacing planned out from the very beginning. If they were rushing to put it together at the end, that's not just a problem with the ending, that's a problem with the execution throughout.
>>120085744
CCS > Tutu > YuYuYu > Nanoha > Madoka > Sailor Moon
>>120088626
The SoL is not just there for characterization, it's kind of a central part of the show and one of its selling points.
>>120089193
Its not a pacing issue, you just don't like the direction it took.
I like the SoL so I'm glad we had clean episodes before the suffering crap started in episode 6
>>120089193
Nobody defends the pacing of the last episode, although I thought that the pacing beforehand was excellent. It's known that one of the writers had initially wanted a darker ending (although he ultimately agreed with the direction they took), so there may have been some conflict as to how to go about the ending.
>>120089278
When YuYuYu started to get high in the stalker points?
>>120088626
>I keep reading many people praises YuYuYu for making interesting characters given how much SoL episodes unlike other magical girl series in which they are plot instruments.
Part of that is that the studio does not have unlimited resources. They really focused on the girls to the exclusion of everything else. As for the ending the second half did need better pacing or flat out a 13th episode but as >>120089033 points out they designed themselves into a corner of wanting to have that Cultural Festival and airing the last episode on Christmas.How on Earth did they manage to get -anything- airing on Chistmas in the first place? The time were everything gets delayed because 'muh specials'.
>>120089437
What do you think you're proving? It's like you assume the same would happen had they just shoved suffering in earlier and made it a completely different show.
>>120089437
When the SoL part that everyone loved was threaten by the plot.
Nobody would have cared about the suffering if they didn't loved the characters in the first place.
>>120089437
It was past the Manabi by episode 5 anyway, I wouldn't mind have a mild sales show if that meant more SoL and less suffering
Fuck this piece of shit Madoka ripoff.
>>120089437
On episode 9 and 11. Now tell me, how can you have those two episodes have any meaning if not by having Episode 3 and 4?
And you implying that suffering alone is what made this show sell? Because we had plenty of grim shows flopping to prove you wrong
>>120089193
Everything that happened was important, I don't think you could just cut everything to 11 episodes and spend 12th on recovery without fucking up even more.

>It's known that one of the writers had initially wanted a darker ending (although he ultimately agreed with the direction they took), so there may have been some conflict as to how to go about the ending.
This. It's not the same agreeing on the beginning to mid-series and having a problem in the end than begin on the same channel all the way. The last episode did not have the same amount of time as the rest because the staff spent precious time arguing on how it was going to be in the first place.

You guys fail to realize something, this just is just the prologue and it is just the Yuuki Yuuna's chapter. Of course the ending will leave you with tons of unanswered questions.
Just wait for the sequel end of this month, I am pretty sure they are going to have some sort of epilogue that tie it in with their next sequel.
This doesn't seem like some sort of project that they decided to do on a whim, release 1part and then forget about it.

A bittersweet ending wouldn't have worked. The show was always building up to a big emotional climax, and just grinding to a halt by going from total despair to mild despair wouldn't have had the impact that the last episode's total emotional whiplash had.
>>120089434
Do you think the only reason the finale suffered was because of this disagreement? I think many versions of a happy ending would've been rushed, considering where 11 left off, and I guess my point is that has everything to do with what they chose to include earlier when you know from the beginning how many episodes you have to work with.

>>120090606
That's not the message. The message is anything is possible if you have friends and KONJOU.
>>120090121
It's a multimedia project so it's expected for them to have plans for the future even if they do average sales. What might be happening right now is that the big success may have caught them by surprise and are at odds on how to follow up. "Should we keep the appeal as neutral as it is? Should we lean towards a particular niche? More SoL like mid-series or more action like in the first episode?"
Many decisions to make and not really that much time to make them.
>>120085557
>>120090337
I understand what you're saying, and I think that you have a point. However, I don't really see where they could've cut content without messing up what makes the show unique (except maybe Episode 7 since it was a beach episode, but it was a fun one so fuck that). I don't know much about anime production, so while I won't say that that disagreement was the sole reason, it could be indicative of a disagreement about which direction to take the show.
Plus they wrote themselves into a couple of corners; the cultural festival, like I mentioned earlier, was obviously going to be how they ended it and they probably couldn't have one with Yuuna being a potato. Plus as awesome as Karin's fight was, leaving her in that condition under any circumstances would've just been way too sad.
It's also important to note that Gokiumi is a small studio and they weren't exactly known for producing hits. I wouldn't be surprised if getting 10 minutes of KanaHana for Episodes 8 and 10 took up half their budget.
>>120090859
So anyone have the webm from this post that >>120089855
was talking about?
are there new details about the vita game ?
>>120090786
Yuki Yuna only sold because it managed to hit multiple niches at once. Episode 9's boost was indeed thanks to suffering but a later one happened because YuYuYu took a nice share from G-Reco's cancelled preorders
And oh god the background on this image is just disgusting
>>120090606
It's not trying to deliver a message, it's just trying to make you feel for the characters and 'cherish their daily lives'. A happy ending makes that work by showing that it's the characters that are important, not some "meaningful" storybook end, as well as highlighting the contrast in how the initial SoL segments were seen by the audience (ie. taken for granted just like any other cutesy SoL show) compared to how exactly the same kind of daily life is perceived once it was returned to them after being seemingly lost forever.
>>120085557
>>120090764
yuyuyus are for sexualizing
>>120090780
That's only based on what happened in last episode, you see.
If anyone asked about the message of this show before ep12 no one would answer that.Still, even considering ep12 I still think that the message is "To the Hero of Tomorrow".Keep fighting for the future of the world no matter what you lose, even if you are alone.
>>120090918
HanaKana is not as expensive as you might thing, always remember that she was a major character in Ga Flag and other low budget shows
>>120091024
Pretty much everyone is resigned to the action parts of the game being crap, even the developers stated that it's meant to be a VN first. I hope that it at least has good music.
>>120091089

>>120091095
I would answer it was about friendship. Episode 12, Sonoko's last scene in the LN and Kishi's comment in the interview convinced me KONJOU is a theme too, even if not as prominent as friendship during the rest of the anime.
>>120091188

That's basically how konjou is depicted in the series. Fighting with your own power even in the most adverse of conditions.

>>120091095
I think that there are three central messages:
1. Even if things look impossible, you can always solve your problems through sheer willpower.
2. A Hero does not succeed alone, but instead succeeds thanks to the help and support of those that she loves.
3. Udon

>>120092023
So before everyone started healing their injuries, at least Tougou, Karin, and Fuu contemplated sudoku, right?
>>120091787
Then, when the Taisha confiscates the Udon to throw it at the Vertex, we will finally appreciate how important it is for daily life now that it's gone.
>>120092132

>>120092023
>Implying Yuuna would ever leave Karin's side
>Implying she wouldn't literally punch you into the moon if you tried anything funny
>>120092132
Fuu would never sudoku because then she'd leave a broken Ituski behind
Tougou probably did, but probably decided against it because she felt indebted to Yuuna (as she should've)
I honestly don't see Karin being able to commit sudoku even if she wanted to.
>>120092229
It's Sange, anon
>>120092289
>I honestly don't see Karin being able to commit sudoku even if she wanted to.
Why not? she had a functional hand and leg
>>120092227
She would never go through with it because of Itsuki. Her crippling depression would not be due to her own disabilities but that of her kouhai's. She was their leader, she was the one who recruited them, she was the one who got them into this mess, and now she is utterly powerless to help them. Fuu is a responsible president. Yuuna and Karin's injuries would shatter her (albeit not completely).
>>120091550
>1. Even if things look impossible, you can always solve your problems through sheer willpower.
That's not always the case, KONJOU is what led Gin to her dead and also what made Sonoko became a log.
>>120092132
Karin had already achieved tomodachi enlightenment when she was broken, so she wouldn't think of sudoku.
Fuu would only commit sudoku if she believed it would be for Itsuki's sake, like if Itsuki was wasting her life away taking care of a debilitated Fuu, or if Itsuki was already dead.
Tougou has attempted suicide already, so this isn't a hypothetical situation anymore.
>>120092356
She is a Hero and wants to be an example to the others so even if she contemplate sodoku at some point she is likely to reject the idea thanks to her principles.
>>120092453
Someone's a negative nancy!
KONJOU is what led Gin and Sonoko to protect all that they cared for, even if temporarily.
>>120092356
She would probably have a really hard time to find something to sudoku with, and she would either live in the hospital or have a permanent caretaker. Plus she doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide.
>>120092453
Gin died, but she died winning an impossible battle through willpower and protecting her friends. Sonoko also essentially chose to become a log, seeing as how she had already figured out the Sange on her own after her and Sumi's first Mankai.
>>120092405
Fuu wouldn't kill herself over Karin's or Itsuki's injuries, but if Itsuki ended up in a similar state (or even dead somehow), I feel like she would sudoku immediately.
>>120092214
A new kind of Udon.
>>120092507
Even Yuuna thanked Tougou for waiting for her, so even she understands it.
>>120091550
>>120092453
>>120092565
KONJOU plays an important part in the story, but "it solves everything" is hardly a message in the show.
I don't get why people are so quick to see or even want messages everywhere.
>>120092565
At the expense of their own lives though, so it's not really a good problem solving method.
>>120089033
>I feel like if it had just gone straight into the suffering early on, it would just be a Madoka ripoff
I think that is what they were trying to do in the first case. The first episodes had several moments telling us 'this is going to happen any soon but for now there, like the characters'.
>>120089574
>>120089033 says it perfectly:
>It's all of the SoL that makes the suffering hit harder when it comes.
This is YYY biggest shot by far but at the same they did what they weren't trying to do in the first case: ripping-off Madoka.
>>120089521
>>120089671
YYY never needed SUFFERING in the first place, I'm not going to deny the SoL nor the 'deathflags'. I guess they did it because 'everyone is expecting it us go full madoka, so let's pedal to the metal'. It's understable but it was as a very wrong move in the whole series and the consequence is the freaking last episode.
>>120089576
>It was past the Manabi by episode 5 anyway, I wouldn't mind have a mild sales show if that meant more SoL and less suffering
And this is the point were I'm trying to go. YYY had something unique: really lovely characters and SoL atmosphere, then why negate the essence of your show by just going suffering during the lastest episodes if you are not even going to hold your pacing during the final episode. A reasonable amount of very good drama would have worked perfectly intensifying characters conflicts, they had the previous developments during the early episodes, then why don't exploit it. Damn.
>>120091024
>Yuki Yuna only sold because it managed to hit multiple niches at once. Episode 9's boost was indeed thanks to suffering but a later one happened because YuYuYu took a nice share from G-Reco's cancelled preorders
And this is what I also what I have been thinking during this whole time and obviously hooked by the 'suffering'.
I don't think some of the people here understand what the problem is. The people in charge of the show wrote themselves into a corner at the end because they wanted a happy ending but they didn't put in the time and the work to build up enough foreshadowing throughout the series so that the ending doesn't look contrived. The writers didn't EARN their happy ending the way other better shows do. And the problem when you do this is that you can make an ending that feels good, but any kind of calling to a higher theme or message is hollow.
Gurren Lagann is kind of like this. It's a fun action show with a satisfying ending, but you can't look at Gurren Lagann and tell yourself that the message of the show is to never give up without lying to yourself a bit. Because the only way anyone solves anything in TTGL is by screaming a lot and getting spontaneous powerups to allow the main characters to defeat any obstacle they run into. The show was not made to acknowledge hardship the way we understand it in real life, and without that important part the message of the idea of "never give up" that comes from the show is just bullshit. That's why it's an action show and nothing more.
I'm just saying it's fine that Yuyuyu's ending healed the viewers, but I can't take any kind of talk about the show's message or lesson because the story doesn't have that kind of weight to it.
>>120092507
>>120092536
The relatively early stages of grieving with sudden and profound disability is most dangerous for sudoku. She will probably try to tough it out at the beginning, and by the end, she'll have dealt with it, but what about the middle? That part in her rehab where she's emotionally and physically exhausted with no sign of physical improvement and before she has truly learned to cope with it?
>>120092666
KONJOU by itself doesn't solve everything, you also need friendship just as much if not more. The fact that they literally spell it out for you in the end makes it clear that that's what they were going for all along.
>>120092644
I wasn't accusing her of anything. We were just talking about who would have contemplated suicide and I pointed out that Tougou already did, so much that she attempted suicide. Whether that is wrong or right, or what Yuuna thinks of it doesn't change that.
This arrived today, CD rip soon.
I wonder if Sonoko has ever contemplated sudoku, not that she has the agency to carry it out aside from maybe a hunger strike.
>not_suffering.jpg

You have to use anime logic, or else it's just not believable. She has the power of friendship on her side. So long as she knows she's not alone, she has nothing to fear.
>>120092697
I feel largely the same way as you, but if there was indeed disagreement amongst the writers what the nature of the ending would be, then I think there's an even bigger disconnect between the way it all got rolling and the happy ending.

More like teamwork (and firepower), the original trio doesn't lose to the Hero club in term of friendship yet they they all end up "losing their lives" because they each tried to take everything on themselves.

>>120092694
Just as the SoL makes the suffering hit harder, the suffering makes the happy SoL much more poignant in retrospect or upon rewatching. The suffering is what made the show memorable, and in my opinion it was pulled off extremely well. Madoka gets away with introducing the suffering much earlier because it's a much more story-driven work. YuYuYu is character-driven, and so it wants us to get to love the characters before they put them through the fire.
>I feel like if it had just gone straight into the suffering early on, it would just be a Madoka ripoff
I'd say that hindsight is 20/20, but I'll admit that I smelled the suffering in that first episode (and almost dropped it because of that). Even so, you couldn't know for sure that it was going for the suffering route unless you had read the LN.
And to be honest, the ending wasn't THAT bad. It was definitely rushed, yeah, but there have certainly been worse endings.
>>120093045
Same here, I was skipping this show because it had Takahiro as the writer and those Madoka vibes, I was expecting MC to be some sort of weak ass girl but luckily I saw a webm of her transformation.
If there is one thing this show didn't fail do deliver it is the heroism, even Itsuki, the cute little girl who wants to be a moe idol, is fully made out of willpower.
>>120092697
The main plot might be kind of sloppy in delivering a message, but each character's individual development carries a message of its own and all of them are perfectly executed in harmony with one another. Not to mention that the setting itself is interesting and well presented until the very end. I always thought those were the strong points of the show and what set it apart as something interesting and engaging.

I was going to watch it because it felt nice to have a Hibiki-like protagonist set in a 'similar world a la Madoka'. For some reason I didn't watch it during it's moment and I don't plan to even begin to watch it.
>>120084556
It was the most blatant Madoka ripoff. They even had an episode for the homura clone on ep 10.
>>120093267
I'm surprised that Itsuki of all people was the only one who never broke down at any point. She even pulled her weight in every single battle.

What this show proposes is so different from Madoka in absolutely everything except magical girls suffering that it's hard to take anyone forcing the comparison seriously. For starters, it actually feels like a mahou shoujo and a healing anime.
>>120092697
There is no calling to a higher theme or message. There are themes like KONJOU and friendship that permeate the story, that's it. The climax and ending was about the catharsis, not about some message.
>>120093045
For me it was during episode 2, when Yuuna was cheering Tougou after her fallout with Fuu. I realized I was really liking those characters and the way the drama was handled in a lighthearted atmosphere.
>>120093437

Tougou isn't even remotely like Homura except them looking a little similar.
>>120093045
All I saw was a WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WHY ARE THEY TRANSFORMING NOBODY SAID THIS WAS A MAGICAL GIRL SHOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOL post on /a/ when the first two episodes aired.
So I watched it with my little sister. It was great to see her start to freak out when FORESTIZATION WARNING happened.
>>120086227
Full Moon is idol shit not MS shit
>>120093045
I watched the first two episodes just because it seemed to have potential to be a decent cute girls doing cute things anime, didn't even know it was a Mahou Shoujou.
I was completely sold by the end of the first episode and loving it by the end of the second.
>>120093128
>they all end up "losing their lives" because they each tried to take everything on themselves.
No, they "lost their lives" because of primitive tech and low numbers of Yuusha.
>Gin
Died because Sonoko and Washio were literally completely incapacitated. She was the only one capable of action. She'd rather not have gone it alone, but that luxury was not afforded to her.
>Sonoko
Sange'd herself to a log because Gin was dead and Washio was once again completely incapacitated. She'd rather have gone it with backup, but that wasn't an option.
>Wasshi~
Sange's is a bitch.
The first trio fought a tough war with imperfect tools and at great personal cost.
>>120093616
How did she react to Episode 9 and HIROGARU? You better have hugged your imouto after that.

As an aside, why is "Yuushatech" filtered as spam? Fuck you, 4chan filters.
>>120093703
We awkwardly looked at each other and pretended not to cry. She didn't say anything.And neither did Itsuki.
Episode 11 was tough. I think we were both telling Karin to stop.

Is that time again?
>>120093267
>>120093480
Itsuki's courage under fire is one of the best surprises. The whole way each character had a different reaction was very well done: Karin did not break either but she had moments of self-pity but carried on in the end, Fuu did take a hard hit but was never mentally damaged to be unable to transform and in the end she put herself together thanks to Itsuki's example, then Yuuna did have a major lapse of doubt but thanks to Karin's sacrifice. At the end is Tougou who took the matters to the extreme after that severe mental breakdown but thanks to Yuuna she saw the error in her actions and went back to the team.
>>120093480
>I realized I was really liking those characters and the way the drama was handled in a lighthearted atmosphere.
The way each of the members affects the entire Hero Club makes for a great flow for the story. Came for the action, stay for the people doing the good fight.
>>120084556
Not like it had a lot of competition, I mean Madoka, Fate Illya & Nanoha are like the only other decent mahou shoujo's.
>>120093667
>because Gin was dead and Washio was once again completely incapacitated.
She had the option of waking Wasshi up (not that she would be of help in anyway because of Sange but Sonoko didn't know that) but she chose not to do so and took on all the suffering herself.
>>120093247
>The suffering is what made the show memorable, and in my opinion it was pulled off extremely well.
I'm not certainly sure about this one.
>Madoka gets away with introducing the suffering much earlier because it's a much more story-driven work. YuYuYu is character-driven, and so it wants us to get to love the characters before they put them through the fire.
>Just as the SoL makes the suffering hit harder, the suffering makes the happy SoL much more poignant in retrospect or upon rewatching.
I think we disagree a lot, because in my personal way to see the things down tonned suffering or well handed drama (note: not melodrama) would have been perfect.
>And to be honest, the ending wasn't THAT bad. It was definitely rushed, yeah, but there have certainly been worse endings.
It was the bad pacing what ruined the final episode and everyone knows it.
>>120093497
>What this show proposes is so different from Madoka in absolutely everything except magical girls suffering that it's hard to take anyone forcing the comparison seriously. For starters, it actually feels like a mahou shoujo and a healing anime.
Just like I said. It was a mistake for the production committe to pull suffering. I don't think it was needed in the first place. I've watched the classics and if the show isn't honest itself by pulling the magical girls transformation during the very first episode and having an infamous guy as original creator it deserves to be compared to madoka.
>>120086227

No, I'm pretty sure it was a necessary part of the cathartic experience they were going for.
>Despite being nothing like Madoka, it deserves to be compared to Madoka because of these superficial reasons
That's fucking stupid.
>>120094308
>well handed drama (note: not melodrama) would have been perfect.
Probably. The catch is how to replace those scenes. Fuu getting talked out of her state of panic and not letting her been hit that hard in the first place may have worked if they added more world development and exposition like they did in Tougou's sodoku scene. But then there is Karin's Awesome Fight or, more specifically, it's consequences with Yuuna. How to replace that?
>>120094437
Merging with the Vividred crowd?
>>120093497
>There is no calling to a higher theme or message...The climax and ending was about the catharsis, not about some message.
What you wrote is not wrong, but you're severely underestimating the power and importance of having a strong and meaningful message in a story. The kind of message I'm talking about here isn't just some fortune cookie shit that tells the audience something. When you create a story with a strong message, that is the result of thoughtful and powerful storytelling. It's a sign that the writing is solid, that it explores its ideas thoroughly, that it treats its conflicts with respect and does not trivialize anything: any point of view, any obstacle or solution. That stuff is some of the components that creates the best kinds of stories you'll find. To carry an idea like that with force all of the foundations of the story need to be solid.
I think this is a controversial opinion for this thread, but this is part of the reason why I like most of Madoka's characters more. When Itsuki wants to sing and then loses her voice, or when Fuu sets up the hero club and later finds out about their disabilities, that's just suffering that comes up for the sake of the plot; the characters have no control and no way of knowing what is going on and the consequences of their actions. Madoka's characters don't always know everything that is at stake, but they constantly make decisions based on what they know, and as the state of the setting changes multiple times they constantly reinvent their actions and point of view; they challenge their beliefs because the world brings that challenge to them. And they make real mistakes, as in mistakes that are based on misjudgment and shaky ideals and conflict that reinforces the show's ideas, gives those ideas their due consideration and makes the characters weak in ways that people are in real life but hardly ever in fiction because sometimes those flaws are too ugly.
>>120094308
When you first mentioned your notion that the suffering may not have been as essential as everyone thinks, I was actually intrigued. I hadn't heard that idea before and I'm tempted to agree. Despite the insistence that the contrast was essential, I think they didn't need to go very far. Some average tearjerky stuff would've been fine, difficulty and heavy emotions without needing to tap into hopelessness.
>>120094656
Well then, what do you think are the natural comparisons are for YuYuYu, then? Because it's really not some sort of mindblowingly original work within mahou shoujo.
>>120094987
>Despite being nothing like Madoka, it deserves to be compared to Madoka because I can't think of a better comparison
That's still fucking stupid.

As much as I like the idea that they do have the right tools to take the story from Yuu3 to a higher point (maybe or maybe not at the expense of the characters just to left this out) they did drawn themselves into a corner from the beginning. Not by the "No Males" part but more by the "It's enough to see the girls interactions and heroism" part of the planning process. Going for something bigger is a risky that the studio is in no position to take.
