>Lost hope for the franchise
You realize that Ponycan has given Season 2s to at least three to four series which sold less than YuYuYu. There is no reason to think there won't be more.
>>133579331
It's totally inevitable, but like the entire rest of the tone of the anime ending, that endcard is pretty much totally superseded by Sonoko After and NoWaYu. Next season will be even more about whatever the fuck is going on with Yuuna than ever.
I want to fuck Yuuna.

This, if anything Netflix works in favor of another season and not against it.

Dude, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's fine if the thread slides down for now. We don't need them 24/7 when there's no new chapter to discuss.
I was a little disappointed at how Tougou's disability was revealed to be caused by magic just like pretty much every single major paraplegic I've seen in anime.
I know it ties into the effects of mankai and all but I would have preferred it if it we just got a normal disabled character for once.
What's up with these threads being up everyday now? We were having nice, cozy threads when we waited for the monthly chapters
>>133582986
That you, tumblr?
>>133583161
I was wondering the same thing, more threads and suddenly much more madoka related trolling then that had died out quite a bit already.
Then I remembered
>Netflix
>>133583195
I don't visit tumblr, and I don't give a shit about the representation of minorities in entertainment. I just found it really cute when Tougou's disability was just "there", she and Yuuna always worked around it casually and she was just a normal girl who happened to have non-functioning legs.
It was something different in my SoL for once, it's the same kind of charm that girls with glasses have really, and glasses girls don't need supernatural explanations for their weak vision either.
>>133583442
I bet Taisha is behind this.
>>133583456
Sort of depends if their weak vision started with a vague accident in the same timeframe as the prequel's climactic battle, coupled with mysterious amnesia.
>>133583456
I can see where you're coming from, but their disabilities are pretty central to the plot. It's hard to change that without changing everything about the anime.
>>133583568
>the prequel's climactic battle
To be fair, that hadn't been released yet when the show started airing. Sure anyone could see the accident was bullshit, but not knowing anything about Mankai and disabilities got me thinking Tougou had just injured herself normally in a fight, and that her injury would directly tie into her traumatic reaction to the jukai in the first episode.
>>133583566
TAISHADATO
It's a great series, but it has one fatal flaw: the ending.Specifically, the end of the ED animation. Why are Yuuna, Tougou and Karin all talking over each other at once? Did they all spontaneously break out in song on the way home or something?
>>133584738
Karin and Yuuna are talking to each other while Tougou is trying to fit in but she ends up beingthe third wheel
>>133584738
The show would be even better if the whole thing was a musical.

So how did the show end again?
Did the yuushas just accept that their world will always be on the brink of being fucked by eldritch monstrosities? How and why did their disabilities get cured?
>>133587940
Yuuna punched the world into daijoubu and the yuri cured everyone.
Can some bilingual anon tell us what is going on in these 4komas?
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=53578601
>>133587940
Shinju gave them back their disabilities partly because it came to believe in human courage thanks to Yuuna and partly because what Tougou did scared the shit out of it.
Sonoko After revealed that now the Shinju believes that humanity has what it takes to truly fight back against the Vertex, and the Hero System will go into mass production, allowing any pure girl to become a Yuusha. However, because of mass production the fairy shields will no longer be available.
Yuuna is probably a god or a Vertex or something
>>133587940
Yuuna mankai'd with an empty gauge and destroyed the Leo by simply touching its core with her finger.
This revealed her to be a arahitogami a human on the path to ascending into a God.
Shinju decided humanity was worth saving and removed the other girls powers, allowing them to slowly heal over the next two to three months.
Yuuna spent two months in a coma before coming out to the sound of Togou's crying.
Yuuna's soul spent those two months reliving the original assault on Earth in 2015 and fighting alongside the Original Yuusha in 2018.
The Taisha repent of the shitty way they treated the Yuusha after Gin died and is going to make their work public. They are also going to recruit more girls and field Yuusha Mass Production Types who will have to fight without immortality but will not be crippled by their weapons.
>>133588236
>Yuuna's soul spent those two months reliving the original assault on Earth in 2015 and fighting alongside the Original Yuusha in 2018.
That is still just speculation, don't say it like it is a fact.
TAISHA LIED
GIN DIED
>>133588355
Taisha didn't lie about anything but the virus when Gin died, though. In fact, Sonoko told Fuu that when Gin died she felt really sad but didn't think that it was unreasonable because they all knew beforehand that all of them could die at anytime during battles.

The fact that her disabilities come from magic doesn't make them any less real. Even in battle she had to deal with not being able to use her legs. That's part of the reason she believed she couldn't fight. I think they handled her disability very well. We only get half an episode where she isn't paralyzed from the legs down too, and I'm sort of expecting the disabilities to come back when they need to fight again.
>>133590915
>I'm sort of expecting the disabilities to come back when they need to fight again.
Please no. Mutilating could be a thing this time around and that's just too much.
How do Tougou's thighs get so plump if she's a paraplegic?
Does her aide and/or Yuuna massage them daily?
So I was rewatching episode three when I notice at Karin's party Yuuna was filling the calendar with dates of things happening in the future, and she already "knew" they were going to do a skit for the festival. Chances are this is just yuuna being her goofy self, but I wonder if there is more too it.
>>133591145
Obviously the later. It's only few years since she became a crippled. I'm sure it won't affect much.Shinjuu-sama won't dare to take the plumpness out of her.
>>133591013
My guess is that shinju is using some of its power to keep the yuusha's disability free. If its a significant amount, there a chance they'll have to be returned
>>133576372
I want to lick Yuuna.
>>133591364
Well, Tougou already speculated that they were give something new instead of having their old functions back.
Is the dub for this show any good?
>>133586543
I want to taste a sample of Karin's wonder goo
>>133591286
Yuuna is the dumbiest time traveller.
>>133576372
That's 100% pure sex
>>133576372
For such a physically active, yet moe character it's a crime there hasn't been a figma made of her up till this point.
>>133591748
It's okay
My biggest issue with it is that they gave Yuuna a very girly, soft voice instead of the excited genki voice Haruka Terui gives her.
Karin's voice is actually pretty on-point
Although they translated Nibosshi into Fishface which isactually pretty funny
>>133592760
I want to headpat Karin until she cries in embarrassment
>>133593468
How was Karins performance on episode eleven. The Japanese VA did a fantastic job so I'm wondering if the dub compares
>>133593776
I'd say she did a pretty good job, although they translated "hitotsu" as "number one/two/three/four/five"
It makes sense since Japanese doesn't actually have words to list things, but it still feels strange somehow.
Karin's dub VA is the same one who voiced dub Sayaka, if that means anything.
>>133593776
>>133593841
In general I think that the sub is still a lot better, but the dub is acceptable if you want to watch it in English for some strange reason or you have a little sister who doesn't like to read subtitles or something. It's no Infinite Stratos in terms of dubs, that's for sure.
I'd place it around the level of the Madoka dub. Just curious, why'd you ask?
>>133593965
>>133593776
Im not this anon >>133591748
I was just curious because I enjoyed the voice acting during the that episode a lot.
>watching dubs
>>133593776
i went to ax and they premiered the last two episodes of the dub at a panel.
it was terrible, it was a bunch of shitty people that hadn't watched the series before and they just squatted in there waiting for the exhibit hall to open.
i was hoping to meet some fans, but the only fans that came were actual nips who i couldn't talk to
>>133594151

>>133594151
>being autistic and watching subs
>>133594230
oh that panel? I was planning on going to ax just for that actually. Not all that surprised that there were very few fans. Its pretty easy for anyone that doesn't keep up with airing anime to skip over it. How was the event itself?
>>133588751
It's not going to suddenly turn into a war drama.

>3 - Tougou comes to check if Karin isn't planing on distributing sapuri and niboshi for the kids on Halloween. Karin is insulted. Of course she has proper candy ready for the kids, she made a whole batch of sapuri cookies for them.

If they're too small you can run them through waifu2x
>>133593841
>It makes sense since Japanese doesn't actually have words to list things, but it still feels strange somehow.
It does, it's just because every tenet is equally as important, so they're all considered "number one" or something.
>>133598983
>spreading images raped with waifu2x
Kill yourself.
>>133599077
>reading comprehension
waifu2x is completely fine for enlarging simple, vector-like designs like that
>>133599834
>>133599016
It doesn't really mean that they're all number one or anything like that, it's just that you can just use the word hitotsu as a "heading" of sorts for each item when listing things. It means something closer to "What follows is a precept" than to "Precept number one".
Still, like you said, Japanese is not such a limited language that you can't even order things in it. If they wanted to, they could just as well have listed them as precept one, precept two, etc... so I believe they really did think the precepts were all equally important.
>5 - Karin doesn't get the point of giving candy to kids on Halloween. Some muscular guys are distributing rare Halloween exclusive sapuri. Karin goes: "Trick or Treat!"

Even with everything else left the same, the last episode would have been far far better if it just didn't make Yuuna comatose in the first place. Suddenly introducing a new problem and delaying its removal until the very last minute killed any happy, good end feelings I was supposed to feel for the last episode.

Will it make you feel better if they work it into NoWaYuand S2?

I want to do horrible things to Karin.
Like adopt her and raise her well.
>>133620247
It's pretty clearly going to be very important in whatever's going on with Yuuna going forward, and it was the inevitable conclusion of Yuuna's pre-Tougou-fight hero complex, so I'd hardly call it "suddenly".
>>133621313
Just the fact that they did decided to create her for the show makes me happy enough.
>>133621561
A complex would imply a character flaw that needs to be overcome. That's not how the series portraits Yuuna's heroism.
I really wanted Tougou to make a Gundam reference.
>>133621313
That would be more than her parents did for her.
Although her niichan seems to be a ok fellow in spite of who he works for.
>>133621827
As usual, I refer you to the confrontation with Tougou. Pointing out the virtues of heroic sacrifice fails utterly there - it's only when Yuuna promises that they won't have to give up the things that matter the most to them at all that Tougou accepts her reasoning.
Also, a complex doesn't imply anything. Yuuna is built up as being a hero no matter what the cost - of course that's going to end up with her making a grand sacrifice, and when that does happen it's certainly not sudden. It's just fortunate it got tempered at the last minute with her promise to Tougou.
If they go a darker route with the sequel and mass produced magical girls do you want them to continue the Imperial Japan allegories and such? I think all those underlying tones add something to the series.

I watched this show late. How did it sell?
>>133623230
>it's only when Yuuna promises that they won't have to give up the things that matter the most to them at all that Tougou accepts her reasoning.
This argument doesn't make sense because Yuuna always told Tougou that they would be okay. She never told her to accept the sacrifice. She told her that she would find a solution (episode 10).
>Also, a complex doesn't imply anything
A complex is a psychological issue. Yuuna doesn't have a complex. She's just heroic because that's her nature. I know, it sounds like it's the same thing, but it's not. It's fundamentally different.
>It's just fortunate it got tempered at the last minute with her promise to Tougou.
It didn't. She's always believed that if they don't give up, they will find a way out. Still, if Yuuna needed to sacrifice herself to save others, she'd do so without thinking. She hasn't changed at all. She has always been a "hope for the better but be ready for the worst" kind of person.

The girls did nothing wrong and did not deserve to live crippled and emotionally scarred because of shady governments or invading god aliens. The happy ending was the only way it should have ended.
>>133623795
>She never told her to accept the sacrifice
She did, though. She tries to give a speech about how they have to keep going because that's what it means to be a hero, and gets demolished by Tougou. It's only when what Tougou is actually afraid of comes out that she makes headway, by convincing her to believe in her optimism rather than in the worthiness of their cause.
>She's just heroic because that's her nature.
Which is to have a disturbingly intense desire to be a hero. That's a complex, and you are arguing semantics.
>Still, if Yuuna needed to sacrifice herself to save others, she'd do so without thinking.
I hardly picture Yuuna deliberately and knowingly breaking the most important promise she's ever made to Tougou.
>>133624155
You didn't understand the ending if you actually think that.
>>133624155
Their daily lives are given meaning by their struggles, as was always the point.
>now on Netflix

>>133624786
I saw that and decided to watch 11 dubbed. It was as bad as I expected. Especially when Karin didn't call it her awesome fight.Yoshiteru's voice was alright though
>>133623230
>promises
*lies
She had no basis for saying that and there was no reason to believe that things would be okay. I'd say leading her friends into becoming vegetables without a second thought just for her ideals is something of a flaw.
>>133624339
That was the whole point. They're sacrifices. Their suffering was necessary because without it they and everyone else would have died, not because they deserved it. That unfairness is what makes it sad.
A sacrifice that you immediately get back isn't a sacrifice. It's hollow.

The show wasn't making them out to be martyrs, it was billed as a healing anime in a literal sense, the girls do their best through the challenges and try to maintain their everyday life and by believing in perseverance are rewarded in the end.
It's not like a god is some gas chamber that outputs magical power, it can revoke their injuries as it pleases.
>>133625871
Not that anon, but while I do like the concept, I feel that the focus in writing was misplaced. There's a lot of emphasis on the mankai and how the girls willingly sacrifice themselves to fight for their friends and family.
>>133625871
Except that was never brought up as a possibility and all evidence pointed towards it being a permanent loss, especially the fact that previous generations went through the same thing and never healed. If that wasn't the case then it doesn't really make sense that god crippled them in the first place, why weaken the heroes that protect you and that you yourself chose unless it was necessary to power them up?
It was set up like a system, not a person. Everything up to the miraculous recovery scenes looked like it was building up to a bittersweet end where they learned to accept their lot so that they could keep the world safe and try their best to enjoy their lives with each other regardless of their losses, just like the previous generation. In fact, a good chunk of the series was about them realizing that they aren't actually going to be healed and finally face reality.
Then the ending does a 180 and, with no real explanation, undoes everything. It's a complete tonal shift from the rest of the series, which is more about perseverance through blind hope, denial, and putting on a happy face so that you can keep going more than to achieve a goal. Hell, no one even mentions trying to heal themselves, the only time healing is mentioned is in the context of just waiting for it to go away like they were told it would, which is clearly established as a lie.

The show I think is a criticism of Japan's idea of worshiping war heroes in a religious sense. The girls who originally sign on just to beat back the enemy and protect themselves find out the cost the Taisha hides from them. The Taisha are like the military in World War 2 where they act independent of the religious and cultural leader the Emperor/Shinju. With the State Shinto government, Togo's nationalism and parallels to war against the vertex being unwinabble similar to the war against the allies it's easy to tell the show was playing on those themes.
It depicts the heroes as battered war heroes who are worshiped but would rather just live normal lives, Sonoko in particular illustrates that. The end of the show is the heroes almost betraying the Shinju/Religious Head but save it in the end. The Shinju then decides pressuring the girls and putting the sacrifices on all their shoulders is not a good idea and reforms the system.
So although its not a perfect allegory the series is sort of criticizing that culture of worshiping the sacrifices of soldiers.

Around 9K, its Gokumi's best-selling work ever.

Yuuna doesn't promise not to give up certain things, she just promises that she won't forget Tougou because she'll always be by her side no matter what.
>>133626722
First, I think you're stretching with that. The hero worship aspect is only touched on as exposition and we're never actually given the viewpoint of the worshipers, so it doesn't make sense that they were trying to bring that aspect into view. It's used more as a reward of sorts for the show's main dichotomy of heroic duty versus personal happiness, a promise that their sacrifice will not be forgotten by those they give everything but their lives to protect.
Second, a happy ending wouldn't really support a criticism of hero worship anyway. Any criticism would come from that hero reverence and reliance being what forces people into sacrificing themselves (which wouldn't be particularly compelling in this setting since that is the only thing keeping the world alive), but having them turn out unscathed due to their heroic resolve does nothing but validate their choice to put the world above themselves.
>>133627478
They turn out unscathed because their near betrayal of the world prompted reform. The status quo was they fight monsters of the week until they are all logs but Togou sped it up by shooting a hole in the wall and attempted to get Shinju killed multiple times. In the end Yuuna convinces them not to destroy the world and the leaders of it Shinju rewards them with reform the best they can. Except for Yuuna cause she pulled the last Mankai out of her ass or something.
The Sonoko After LN chapter sort of elaborates on the point Yuuna convinced the Shinju to change things.
Karin would make the best mother
stays /fit/ and makes sure her family takes their vitamins
>>133627634
>implyingIf she wasn't ded that is.
>>133627634
I want to see Karin and Fuu raise children together.
Karin would be Strict Mom who always makes sure their kids do their homework and take their sapuri every day
Fuu would be Cool Mom who buys them sweets and cooks udon every day.
>>133627584
Except that the betrayers are all convinced to come back to the status quo and just accept how things are as there's still at least something worth living for. They didn't betray as a way of sparking change and they didn't protect the world in the hopes of getting healed, it's all done for personal emotions and beliefs. In fact, their betrayal only happens because of attempted reforms (i.e. actually telling the yuushas what's happening to them).
The story would definitely make a lot more sense if the Shinju had been established as a character playing an active role in the world, especially one that doesn't fully understand humans, but the fact is that it was never shown as anything more than a plot device in the background. Even if you do look at things that way retroactively, you only get a dick god who cripples its chosen heroes without need and gets away with it because it's keeping their loved ones alive.
