Shuichi isn't the MC
He's the MC's love interest and Hibike isn't really a love story so he's not that important

Describe in detail every scene with Shuuichi they cut.
>>140223628
They started training together after riverbank scene, for example. In anime, she just come through.
>>140223457
That's because anime portrays him and his relationships with female MC this way.
Animeonlyfags everywhere.
>>140223915
I don't care about Shuuichi enough to read some chink LN, he's too boring of a character
The anime was better off using that screentime on Kumiko's hair
>>140224216
>he's too boring of a character
That's because anime turned him to completely irrelevant side character. He is pretty important and not boring in novels. And don't forget, female MC constantlty thinks about him.
>>140223915
Why should people cares for something that they'll never read? If you don't like the path the anime is following then don't watch it and go read the novels. For an animeonlyfag who will never read the novels the canon is what they see in the anime not what you read in the novels.
>>140224599
>I've never read the novel, so no one else too
>>140224719
Yes, I've never read it and I won't read it. That's why I don't care if your canon differs from mine. I don't know what happens in the novels, I just care for what'll happen in the anime. Again, go read the novel if that's your canon, and stop trying to convince people who doesn't care for the source to think the way you want them to think, that's pretentious.
they'll just make a Kumiko Love Story film

It's pretty common to compare source material with adaptation. Why do you guys so mad about it? Maybe you love fake lesbians more than healthy people relationahips?
>>140223628
translated early parts of vol 1 over there at BT. Pretty obvious that Kumiko likes Shoe. He apologized in the novel for example in the anime he's oblivious to his mistake for calling Kumiko ugly as fuck.

>>140228957
I'm a gay man and Kumiko and Reina were born for each other. Really it's not a matter of being a hetfag or a yurifag, it's about liking good writing. Their relationship is just so natural and they're so into each other that it'd be stupid for them to not end up together. In this case, if you're neutral about yuri and het, you'll ship them. Only hetfags in denial say otherwise, and they're the ones that are biased in this discussion.

>I’m pretty sure Yamada would not have predicted that response to Kumiko/Reina, but it’s a fair adaptation of what the novel had. Even the mangaka said “I thought it was yuri” when he first read it. It’s just what Takeda wrote.
>I honestly thought that, if Takeda were to go in the romantic route, the Kumiko/Reina pairing made much more narrative sense than a Kumiko/Shuichi pairing. It’s a cute pairing and one that would benefit both parties. That’s my perspective from reading the novels and what I saw from them and the anime adaptation.
This is what the guy who translated all those interviews said. So unless he's lying for some reason, it doesn't sound like Kyoani strayed too far from the source material.

Truly it's the current year already

>>140231872
And?
Yeah, as far as season 1 went Kyoani changed a lot of things. It remains to be seen if they will keep to the spirit of the novel. And as far as the "canon" KumikoxReina relationship is concerned, if we give the author the benefit of the doubt, then it can be said that they tried to do something new (instead it being yuribait).
Not sure how to put this, but the author seems to went for the "no matter what (i.e. romantic relationships) happens we will always be close because our relationship is different/parallel (i.e. it is "like" love in some aspects but not really). I think there was an interview with the seiyuus where one of them said as much.
It's like, in the end Kumiko confessed to Shuuichi and Reina confessed to sensei, but that has nothing to do with their relationship to each other. In a sense, they are tied together by the red strings of fate but instead of that resulting in a romantic relationship it resulted in a (non?)-romantic relationship which "transcends" definition. Or something.
You can argue that the author didn't succeed in what they set out to do, or that what they set out to do is stupid; but it is likely that the relationships was planned and the author believed his ending to make narrative sense. So if Kyoani were to go for an anime original ending, then it's probably going to be against the author's wish. We will see, I suppose.
>>140228957
Are you just memeing or are you genuinely retarded. Even if most of you yurifags are straight men that doesn't mean most straight men are yurifags.
And by the way most people don't hate yuri itself, they hate the obnoxious faggots like you who refuse to fuck off to their own board and instead sit on /a/ shitposting nonstop about how every female character in the world is a lesbain. Hibikie euphohium sure triggered you faggots hard, you've been invading /a/ nonstop since it aired.
>>140233308
It's Kyoani fault that we got what we got.
If they would be more accurate with source adaptations, threads would be nice because it's not yuri or even yuribait novel after all.
>>140231213
>But there's a lot of important changes you'd realise if you've actually talked to people who read the novels.
>talked to people who read the novels.
So all this whining comes from second-hand information?
>>140233434
Let's not go there, shall we? Sure, you can say that the author didn't mean to write a yuribait novel; but other people certainly can subjectively interpret his writing as they wish. And it's not like "very close but non-romantic friendship" is easily successfully portrayed anyway.
>>140233434
>If they would be more accurate with source adaptations, threads would be nice because it's not yuri or even yuribait novel after all.
See >>140230968
The guy who made the manga adaptation literally thought it was a yuri novel while reading it.
>>140233651
First of all, the author is a woman.
And second of all, no it's not the authors fault if delusional people interpret everything however they want. /u/fags will believe absolutely anything they have to to tell themselves a girl is gay.
>>140233848
Don't forget, she also married with guy who played at the school orchestra with her.
>>140233818
Which doesn't really mean anything? The novels were neither yuri nor yuribait because the author (most probably) didn't mean to write it that way. Anyone can interpret her work as they wish, it's not like there is a cubic to "objectively" judge a work of art or anything.
Where can I download the novels? Are there any translations?
>>140233818
The nips don't really have a concrete definition of what yuri entails. The mangaka thinking the novel was yuri could mean anything from "class-s friendship" to "they're scissoring off-screen".
>>140234689
>The nips don't really have a concrete definition of what yuri entails.
That explains Yamada not thinking it's yuri, then. Problem solved.
>>140234842
Problem will be solved when Kumiko ends with Shinichi.
>>140234926
She already did.
>>140236329
Not in the anime.
>bi girl ends up with guy in the end
Seems pretty realistic to me
>>140234100
Kyoni didn't want to portray yuri either, they wanted to portray adolescence.
>>140237231
Your point being? Just because neither Kyoani nor the novel author meant to portray yuri doesn't mean that Kyoai faithfully/accurately adapted the novel. They definitely didn't, no if and but about that.
Now it is arguable whether Kyoani's adaptation is more yuribait than the original novel; but the number and zeal of all the animeonly KumikoxReina OTP people speaks for itself.
>>140227072
>He apologized in the novel
Amazing, they actually talked it out. And they make him an oblivious doofus in the anime to further prolong the misunderstanding and for Kumiko to treat him like dirt and basically cut off their interactions.

>You do realize 95% of yurifans are heterosexual men, don't you?
Is there a store at which a person can buy such high quality made-up facts?
>>140244916
I wonder if that audience ratio carries over to anime as well. I know that a decent percentage of people who buy Love Live BDs are female, but are they buying them for the girl/girl interaction or for the cute idol dresses and songs?
>>140246006
Not much use speculating, since that would be something better suited for empirical studies. That aside, catering to the targeted demographic is a thing, and yuri anime/manga is no exception.
There are yuri aimed towards male, yuri aimed towards female, and even yuri aimed towards lesbians (which is occasionally also written by lesbians). The differences between them are pretty noticeable.
>>140246006
Well, a large amount of the fans of Madoka, a somewhat more outright yuri anime, are female, so I wouldn't be surprised. Never mind the fact that of course Hanokage and Ume-sensei are female themselves.
>>140227364

>>140246556
Madoka had a lot going for it to escape the bounds of "Yuri anime". I wouldn't consider the audience for it to be that equivalent to that of Sakura Trick for example.
>>140246907
Regarding what counts as yuri, here's a quote from Morishima Akiko (Hanjuku Joshi, Yuri Kuma Arashi): "One can be a lesbian even by oneself. Yuri is something decided of two people from the outside. Notwithstanding what the two people might think, yuri becomes yuri beginning from when it is seen from the outside."
Not exactly disagreeing with you, just want to post the opinion of an established yuri mangaka.
>>140246196
Which audience was Hibike aimed at?
>>140231213
Shuichi cucked hard.
>>140246907
Yeah, that's why I also brought up Hanokage and Ume, who've both been pretty vocal about the pairings they like in the show.
I also meant it was a more /outright yuri/ anime, and not an /outright yuri anime/.
But you know what I mean.
>>140247046
Absolutely. One can easily call Madoka Yuri. I'm just cautioning as using it for a proxy of the audience for most yuri anime in general. I'd consider it the equivalent of a crossover hit in music.
Rewatching this, I never realized how much of a cunt Kumiko was.
>>140247051
To the extent that the novel author (most probably) did not mean to portray Kumiko and Reina's relationship as romantic in the first place,
it's not really "aimed" at any specific audience.
I just want an anime with yuribait which, after making you think it was only bait, turns the table and goes for full yuri

Chika is cuter than Kumiko. Therefore, Haru Chika is superior.
>>140247194
I mean, I'm not disagreeing with you. Just want to point out that yuri is almost completely audience-centric. Something "becomes" yuri when it is seen as such. In theory, there might well be works centering around lesbians without them being yuri. Some of the classic manga exploring homosexuality written by female mangaka back in the 60-80x might count.
