Just finished watching Tetsuwan Birdy Decode, the second season. What the fuck? It's pure shit. The fighting scenes were cool, but the rest was just what the hell. All the build up in the first season was completly forgotten. Did they straight up changed the script or something?
>>143318250
Nataru a shit.
Green bitch a shit,
>>143318250
Didn't care for the first season so not addressing it wasn't an issue
Nataru a best
The twist is good
The animation is getting worse
S2 > S1
>>143318889
the twist is fucking lazy
that time travel bullshit was a total buttpull
>>143318889
Aside from that one episode, S2 had the best animation in the series especially the finale.
>>143318889
Nataru is shit anon.
It was a forced romance that shifted the focus of the show away from Birdy's troubled past to his grimdark revenge quest.
Instead of hearing more about her fucked up childhood, the process of creating Ixorians, or seeing how Tsutomu reacts to any of it; we get some dude ripping arms off the Ice Climbers.
I'm convinced to this day that he was written in an attempt to boost the show's lagging sales.
>>143318968
I joked to myself at the beginning of the season that thewhite-haired guy in the OP carrying little Birdy was Nataru time-travelingand I had to get up and leave he room when I found it to be true.
>>143318889
>Nataru is a edgy faggot
Anybody have those links to the OVA and the OSTs?
>>143319481
Every romance in Decode were forced, anon. The only good romance was in the OVA.
>that season 3 teaser at the end of season 2

I love the OVA so much. Especially the soundtrack.
>>143320947
The Cipher or pic related?
>>143321240
Pic related.
>>143321815
Yeah I gotta agree.
Sayaka felt out of place in the story too. I don't know why they decided to go with her over Hayamiya.
Definitely a retarded question but how do I into the manga
I hear there's an early version then a new version that ends up getting a continuation to it or something
>>143322059
Probably because Hayamiya and Tsutomu weren't a couple in the manga.
>>143322068
You can ignore the first one unless you're a diehard fan. It was discontinued pretty quickly.
The second manga is the main story, and it got a continuation called Evolutions. The raws are all available online on mangazone.
Scanlations stopped about a year ago when the second translator to pick up the series died like the first one.
>>143322183
So the second series isn't fully scanlated?
Or is the 2nd done but evolutions isn't?
>>143322438
13/20 volumes of the 2nd series are scanlated
To my knowledge none of Evolutions is.

I don't even remember what happened in Birdy animu. First season was pretty comfy, but S2 was an edgefest all over.
>>143322925
Always thank you, anon.
wtf was the point of this girl?
and what about the one in the wheelchair?
in the s2, even tsutomu felt like a disposable secondary character
>>143323110
She's was more of a bad cop to Birdy's good cop in the manga. She dismembered and interrogated one of the CIA agents sent to investigate alien activity.
I've never read Birdy so I might as well grab in from our goddess. How is it?
>>143323235
Then blows up their superior.
>>143323330
>(533d ago)
Welp.
>tfw no more comfy anime about a (group of) sexy waifu that does all the action without an OP MC that interferes
What studio would you want for a new series?
>>143320968
Never ever.
>>143324621bones, ahahaha Ahahahahaha haha
>>143324167
/a/ please say that's not true.
>>143318250
Because Akane went full edgy 14 years old writing fanfictions about his waifu.
>>143326153
Akane was just the director, wasn't he? Hiroshi Ohnogi (The RahXephon guy) did the story.
>>143326215
As the director he had to approve of all the shit going into the show.
Someone in the staff wanted to turn the Birdy franchise into something it's not.
when's the BD rips? holy fuck
>>143326297
Again, wiki says Hiroshi was the creative director behind Decode, so I think it was his call.
>>143327624
The final OVA was rather disappointing.
>>143324621
>What studio would you want for a new series?
Why would a studio give up a profitable work and resource slot? It's better to work on a series that is doing a lot of merchandise sales because of profit sharing.
Birdy anime and manga aren't really a series that was designed to sell merchandise. It's more of the old school way of telling stories instead of having the plot tweaked to boost character good sales or to have anime characters be clothes horses and models for the mainstream clothing being sold in department stores. That's good too since merchandisers get a big say in various plot elements and thus the story is compromised.
Pictured: evangelion house paint and evangelion art color for goache and watercolor. They really do love to market the hell out of the evangelion brand.
I wonder if Birdy and Tsutomu soul fuck in the manga. It is the only thing I'm curious about.
