It's been a year since her awesome fight. Did you see it, /a/?
>>134918054
Yes and it was literally the only good thing about the show.

>>134918054
I was just thinking it's about time to rewatch this again.
Don't forget that yuushas can't love other yuushas
Last year's christmas was stressful because of this show.

Ok I'm gonna start watching this and hope faggot OP doesn't just tell lies on the internet
hitotsu
>>134919205
Congratulations, you're on the no fly list now.
>>134918111
My thoughts exactly.
>>134918054
I saw it and it was pretty effective.
Too bad the ending wasBUT EVERYTHING'S OKAY NOW BECAUSE REASONS LOL
>>134921019
>REASONS
It's because they were badass enough to drive out the Vertexes in those unfavorable conditions, so much so that they convinced Shinju-sama that humanity should change strategies and go on the offensive, which directly connects to it returning the offerings, i.e. bodily functions. It all adds up if you bother doing the mathand reading Sonoko After.
>>134921151
> the asspulls aren't actually asspulls if you read the extra material
Unfortunately the show made me lose interest because the ending was handled so badly, with none of that given its due dramatic weight sufficiently early on. If they'd introduced (in framing, direction and dialogue) the possibility that something would change at least a few episodes before the ending, it might've been possible to feel good about it.
Instead it was all doom and gloom with no hope on the horizon until WHAM suddenly everything was okay and even all the sacrifices that had already been made were being refunded.
Basically the show gave me thematic whiplash and threw me out of the seat at the last minute.
>>134921151
Thank you for understanding this. It didn't come out of nowhere, and it wasn't a hamfisted technique to shoehorn an ending. It's an ending that they earned and that fits with the theme of the show.
>>134921581
You mean like those texts that they kept getting in their orders saying 'Yeah you'll totes get better don't worry'
You're supposed to doubt the truth of that statement, sure, but it turns out that the shady superiors weren't lying to them after all because sometimes people aren't dicks to each other.
>>134921581
It's not extra material, all of it is main material, it's a multimedia project since the start.
>>134921581
If reading extra materials outside the anime bothers you too much you really should probably forget the franchise ever existed, cause it thrives on multimedia world building.
As for the last episode, I can't say I agree. When I was watching the last episode my only question was HOW things would turn out okay, not WHETHER they would turn out okay. The theme of the show was never about suffering, it was always about the classic power of friendship and all, and it never gave any indication they would betray that thematic. Perhaps you went in expecting some Madoka or something because of all the memesters that kept repeating that on every corner. I was confidently watching an orthodox mahou shoujo just waiting for Yuuna to punch everything into okay.
>>134921710
Those were technically lies though. They only got better because of something that happened after those texts were sent. If circumstances hadn't changed there would have been no prospects of them getting their bodily functions back
>>134921581
Sonoko After literally takes five minutes to read
I want to lick Sonoko's fuzzy caterpillar eyebrows.
>>134922198
Is Sonoko related to Mugi?
>>134919189
>>134919216
>>134919250
translate it weebs
Why is Togo so shit?
She ruined the whole episode.
>>134922342
I want to bully Chikagelovingly
>>134921710
But that's the whole point.
The way those messages were framed, the way the girls grew increasingly suspicious of their truth, the way Togo went basically insane for a while trying to commit suicide, etc, all pointed unambiguously to the Taisha considering the girls tools, expendable "for the greater good." This was actually even further confirmed by the Washio Sumi novella wherebest girlliterally died fighting.
Framing and direction are incredibly important for something like this. The same dialogue and the same "facts" can be presented in completely opposite lights with opposite implications. Right up until the end, the show tried to impress with all its might that all hope was lost, with nary a single scene or shot before that implying that there might be any actual hope remaining.
Undoing the sacrifices was really the final straw because that in particular was so strongly implied by the direction to not be something that could ever happen.
>>134921996
Too little too late. A story like this hinges on being able to justify its dramatic turns while watching it. Also, I did in fact read Washio Sumi novel when the chapters were coming out simultaneously with the show (and even ordered the damn print book), but that just strengthened my impression that there was no way out, because of Gin's death, and how the Taisha were so ruthless as to use Wasshii AGAIN after all that she had already gone through.
>>134922454
But anon there's a really important reason why the sacrifices were undone. It's not a happy ending yet.
>>134918588
all things must end
Was anybody actually surprised that Sumi turned out to be Tougou?
>>134918054
It was indeed a glorious rampage.
As an aside, fuck the OST for this anime. The music is really good, but those track names...
>*****
Are we doing a stream this 24th?
>>134922950
>hey bitch wanna read secret flowers
>>134921710
Yeah, the only thing I know of is the brief gag about taking used offerings that isn't remotely framed in a memorable enough way to make you consider it as having thematic importance.
>>134921581
I too found the ending to be kind of unsatisfying because it came out of nowhere with no real build up. To trot out the tired comparison to Madoka, the ending of that show worked because it built upon things that had been clearly elaborated and foreshadowed before.
Yuuki Yuuna's ending does work, but only after having the intricacies of it explained to me based off of supplementary materials and a one-off joke in the series.
And I don't think the 'It's not the show's fault you didn't read the supplement' argument really works here. The show explains or reveals everything it needs to for the purposes of its own story, with the sole exception of the ending. Imagine someone told you that the ending of Mai-Hime (which this reminded me of) was perfectly fine and narratively deserved and thematically fitting, but only if you read book about a mostly different cast or played a crappy PSP game.
Supplements should be used to enhance or expand a work, not be left to fill in nonsensical gaps.
>>134922824
>turned out to be
I don't think there was ever a time when we weren't 100% sure she was Tougou.
>>134922454
>>134922495
>sacrifices
They were offerings, not sacrifices.
Offerings can be returned.
Also is it really necessary to have the exact same discussion in every thread?
Everytime there is someone complaining about the ending, and when he gets told how to make more sense of it he continues complaining about how not telling everything in the show is bad and so on.
It's getting tiresome.
>S2 never
Kill me
>>134923343
You need to believe.
>>134923343
>thinks there won't be a S2
>>134923307
We should just make a template version of the discussion in a pastebin and direct everybody who comes in with the usual complaints to it.
>>134923405
>>134923415
Ponycan has a record of sometimes just saying fuck it and not giving a S2 to a show
>>134923494
Rather than S2 i would want the LNs to be animated as OVAs. S2 can fuck up everything up.
/a/ would probably love the show a lot more if there was no battle mahou shoujo stuff and it was pure CGDCT in a post/pre-apocalyptic island. I'm certain of it, actually, because I've seen anons say they want a season 2 of Madoka that's all slice of life. The SOL was my favorite part but I'd still take any story over none.
>look out to see what Yuuna's VA is doing nowadays
>She is voicing an IM@S character
What a perfect set up for a battle with Mimori "I brought the love live bucks" Tougou
>>134923570
>S2 can fuck up everything up.
I'll take that risk for a show with an army of fairly unprotected weaker magical girls battling Vertex.
>>134923635
Vertex needs their own magical girls now.
Itsuki is the best and most underrated hero. I would totally go out with her in a non-incestuous way.
>>134923878
Fuu pls...
>>134923715
From which Island they should be from and why is it Rhodes/Cyprus/Malta
>>134923878
Itsuki's blood is pure iron, she had the world against her yet she never failed to act
Feels like ages ago.
>>134923632
She does a cute childish voice. I only recognize her as Kobeni. Wouldn't mind hearing her more often but I don't intend to watch idol shows.
>>134918054
This year went by really fast.
post more best girlAll girls are best girl.
>>134924029
She is an Ojou-sama in it, she does a good job.
Outside from that the only thing she did was a maido in Chaos Dragon, which you should never watch.

Takahiro decided to keep the girls alive but he never said he wouldn't troll us.That kinda reminds me I should check Minatosoft for cute chibi yuushas
>>134924267
And cutest. Can't forget that.
>>134924230
I'd do nearly everything to protect this smile
>>134923878
I wanted to get that daki cover but then I converted the price and remembered why I don't buyfag.
>>134924396
It's kinda sad to admit, but she was the cutest when she was communicating without voice.
>>134924437
She's still too young for this perversity!
>>134924478
Cripple moe was part of the reason this show is so cute.
>>134923924
>not Japan
Nice try. Chance's are they're going to be from some random prefecture further north from Nagano.
>>134924437
Fuu might be the sexiest yuusha
>>134924557
Yuushas are not for sex unless it's Yuuna and Tougou.
>>134924557
Reported to the FBI
>>134924581
Why did you make Yuuna and Tougou the exception on the Yuushas people are allowed to fuck?
>>134924557
Karin agrees.
>>134924646
With each other.
>>134924478
It isn't. I wish they had stay crippled because it was cute. I didn't like it when Hayate started walking and they did the same shit here too.
>>134924755
You're horrible, but I can kind of understand how you feel cause I felt lik3 Hayate was more moe in the wheelchair too. I still prefer my Yuushas healthy though.

>>134926240
More like Yuuna was two timing her wife.
>>134924117
I dropped it after seven episodes
meaning I managed to watch 7 whole episodes
am I a yuusha yet?
>>134926280
To be honest if the Yuushas were from a christian nation they would be exactly like a templar or crusade. The main diference would be that they would need Trump to fix the wall
>>134922950
>I have 21 fairies

>>134926431
>yeah this dyke bitch's a fairy alright I wish Takashima were here
Karin carried the show hard.
>>134924865
Please don't.
They suffered too much alreadyand there is no telling how things will go in S2.
If you will consider it impartially, 3 of the greatest animes are NGE, Madoka, and K-ON. This franchise simply blended parts of them each and, rather than becoming a 2^2deep4^4u deconstruction of deconstructions, it's plain compelling entertainment with the tropes you know and love. I'm surprised that isn't done more often.
>>134924865

>>134919455

>>134929114

>>134929189

>>134928605
They're literally the same person.
Although it could be fun to do a nowayu/yuyuyu power rankings.

>>134929189
What happens in the LN? I'm curious too
>>134922988
Dude who streamed last year here.
I'm up for it, or day after.
Is Mawaru the best group now?
>>134929604
I could rewatch it too. Probably no one will stream it though.
>>134929665
Well, I kinda implied that I will.
>>134921581
It's literally one of the five tenets. Yuuna kept telling you that things would get better.
>>134929707
Where and when? Mods kinda hate those streams and always kill the threads so it's hard to make them. And Mawaru is probably best release.
>>134924437
d-does it have another side?
>>134929810
Either 24th or 25th.
Just make a normal Yuuki Yuuna thread, mention an anniversary and maybe some even for that occasion.
>>134923570
If we followed that logic then nobody would make anything new ever. I'd rather a series take risks and move forward than spiral slowly into oblivion cannibalizing itself with remakes and adaptations and rereleases. Have you seen the state of Nanoha these days?
>>134923635
>army
I doubt we'll get more than one new club with any meaningful amount of screentime, and it'll probably be Foo's. I could see spinoffs later about other groups protecting different areas, depending on how the "retaking the surface" plan goes down.
What exactly is Tougou doing to Yuuna here?

I still remember the year Christmas was saved by Yucky Tuna...OR WAS IT?!
>>134930763
>>134934845
Maybe we should make some sort of celebration on the day it happened.
Like, giving children and family a gift as a way to remember the hardship the yuushas went trough
We should get some tree too, in honor of the shinju.
Maybe we should put some twinkling lights on it? As a way to represent the way it protects the world from the Vertex you know?
>>134935322
I think japan already have a holiday on that day though, called Kurisumasu to celebrate Kurisu.

>>134943484
It's pretty much the same dialogue from episode 11, but instead of Yuuna saying she did watch ger awesome fight, she says she has watched her from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep, all 24 hours of the day and apparently she Karin sences what she said and starts to get scared.

This show is pretty average desu.
Lame plot, fine animation, nice design, forgettable soundtrack, and stupid shit sound effects.

Why are you watching a character-driven show for the plot?
>forgettable soundtrack
Post-fight Karin, is that you?
>>134946899
To be fair, this show fooled everyone.
Started off pretending to be a purely character-driven show, then went into plot-driven territory but in the end never abandoned its roots and always had the plot serve the characters instead of the characters serving the plot.
Fans of plot-driven shows picked it up mid-season and got disappointed.
