I didn't expect it to be so good.
One of the better dramas I've seen.
It's a pity it gets overshadowed by shit like clannad.
good music too
>>142816311
Saekano is miles better, this is just rebbit-tier drama.
>>142816311
Clannad is really better. Well, its different though.
Clannad is about life, this one is pure drama romance.
>>142816311
>>142816371
Sweet, i just downloaded it.
anything like shigatsu?
>>142816371
Yeah, the music is great. Made me play a bit of the white album song on the piano.
I really enjoyed the visual novel feeling they preserved in the adaptation.

>>142816311
I like this show.
Similiar to SAO because of the harem and good music
>>142816582
Well baited
>>142818522
Also, I read that the first part, which the anime covers, has a terrible english translation.
>>142819861
I think it's been fixed. Someone said it used to be machine-tier, but the bits they rechecked recently had gotten better.
>>142818217
I want to be by Setsuna's side when she is feeling lonely, and tell her that everything will be ok, that I'll be always near, so she can fall in love with me. And when she has opened her heart enough for me I'll kiss her gently and start making love to her, slowly and with care, hold her hands and see her face full of joy and satisfaction, and right when she is about to climax, when she's showing her most vulnerable and human side, tell her "I love you Touma" as I cum inside her.
Seeing how her face changes from extreme happiness to despair with just those words, would be glorious.
>>142816311
There was something surprisingly sincere about the characters and this show that I wasn't expecting for a romance anime. They didn't all annoy the piss out of me. Now he writes absolute garbage for Aniplex shows like Saekano and Classroom Crisis which is the inevitable fate of any previously unaffiliated person that does anything remotely decent in this industry.
Setsuna is too 3D for me. Really well done character.
>>142816668
In the sense that it might emotionally cripple you for days. YMMV. I still need to watch Shigatsu.

Why? Because I'm right? Everything Maruto learned from WA put it into practice into Saekano. The huge difference of success between both series is undeniable proof of this.
>>142831617
i dont like either series but you're actually retarded. anyone can see wa2 is better than saekano. saekano sells because it's a harem that gives the illusion to LNfags otaku is something not to be ashamed of
>>142831823
Saekano sells because it has good characters, not just because it's a harem.

>>142832195
OP here, nobody asked but I agree that the comparison isn't really adequate, honestly I was just hoping for more replies because every time I create threads in a more civil and humble tone they get ignored while bait ones always bomb.
I thought of Clannad because it, while still enjoyable, left me with a sour taste in anime dramas, I was annoyed of how "over the top" the scenes were. Almost if, by trying too hard to get me to cry, I was put off by it. However, in WA2, I could get way more invested in the emotional scenes because of how much I got to care/appreciate the characters themselves. Because of that I was crying at some parts without the need of so many visual and sound effects, as in Key's style.
>>142832012
Cruel but delicious.
>>142816311
It was ok for what is basically a Visual Novel ad.
The conclusion (or the lack of it) is what really holds back this series.
Also, Setsuna was shit and not as interesting as the other two leads.
>>142834611
"And they lived unhappily ever after" is a kind of conclusion.

That's absolutely retarded, no matter what's your approach on translating something there will always be something lost in the process. It's the translator's job to try to avoid losing as many nuances as he can.

>>142832012
I will never not be absolutely livid about this. Probably the scene that makes me the most angry and I've been watching anime for almost 20 years.
>>142822531
Indeed. The characters where fleshed out and surprising well written for this kind of story. Even as Toumafag, this >>142832012 scene made me as happy as sad. Even more so by knowing that they will probably never adapt coda.
>>142841111
>Even more so by knowing that they will probably never adapt coda.

>>142841111
The sad thing is that WA2 would probably go down as one of the best animated dramas if CC and Coda got a full adaptation.

>>142845584
It was bad because the anime combined all the routes when omnibus format like Amagami SS might have served it better
Reminder that you don't have to watch White Album 1 before WA2.

what she's talking about is the rules for the premise of a happy ending.
a development that only exists in old Hollywood movies, where everyone ends up clean of sin
the path we're walking won't lead to a happy end.

this was the same problem with cross channel, but it got translated "well".

>>142832012
Brutal.
Kazusa is a big girl.
>>142866877
>>142866962
Niggas, she was the only heroine who managed to get her feelings across straight even before CC and he even made a promise with her.
Then she realized both of them were getting it on both in front and on her back, so shit's fair game.
Kazusa can't really be blamed too since she had something to chase and a burden to carry and can't properly form a relationship even though she wants to. Haruki, however, had no excuse and is a piece of shit that wanted to play both hands. With one hand only for his self-satisfaction while the other is the one that he really wanted.
>>142860567
>Toumafags are cancer.
Agreed. Even saw some blog review for it with a Toumafag on the helm. Fucking hell, that bias.
Setsuna might have flaws, but she's loyal as hell to the MC and is willing to do anything for him. Heck, even forgiving him for cheating several times. Some people might think of it as crazy, but that's probably because she just loves him so much. Poor gal though, even in Kazusa's true end, her heart only belongs to him and can't move on.
Seriously, fuck you Haruki. He should've let go of Setsuna right off the bat before she got too attached and went steady with him, but he didn't want to because he's practically using her as a substitute, along with the other girls, for Kazusa. Thinking that the wall is too high, even though he got through it in CC. Man, all the drama could've been avoided if he wasn't indecisive and impatient.
If there was an MC who needs to get NTR'd, this guy is probably on top of the list.
Fuck this, being reminded of this series makes me mad. I better read something else to get it off.

And then the story wouldn't exist. I don't understand people that watch a show and complain how events could have been avoided because a character wasn't perfect/can't read the future when it's these imperfections that are meant to spark the story in the first place.
>避けてもいいんだよ
Except there's no way he could have and you know it. I know it. The writer knows it. The VAs know it. And Setsuna, oh, Setsuna knew it too damn well.

Haruki isn't a bad mc as some make him be. It's natural to take out the frustration on him, but he has many more layers than Makoto.

>>142877966

you say that because you like WA2. Makoto is just as good, if not a better character than haruki. wa2 fanbase, especially the VN fags, go on and on about how you can't look at the series at face value and everything is deeper. characters are realistic, etc. but anyone fanatical about a series says shit like that. exactly why kids like clannad and say its life changing. so, layers can fuck off. the more you like something, more you'll try to get out of it. look at eva fags
