I love how absolutely unhinged the girls are in this showtruly a masterpiece
EHHHHHHHHHH?
st juste sama...
[Gets banned across Europe]
>>282639293the juste is looste
>>282638784It has the most ridiculous character death I have ever seen in a serious anime.
>>282640408
>>282640444Tomoko is best girl though, the only sane one in that crazy school.
>>282640478countless such cases
>>282638784thats how real girls are
>>282640408You mean St Juste's death? That was a Freudian slip. The lesbian was murdered by a train to protect Nanako from going to the gay side
>>282640901Class S is the direct ancestor to CGDCTs but it's very obvious why the former was made for women and the latter is consumed by men only
>>282640478>Tomoko is best girl thoughAbsolutely based taste.
Tight teenagers in bobcuts...
Tight teenage ojou-samas...
>>282641367but at what cost
Teenager in thin pajama... erotic...
*sniffs pantsu* uh 16yos are so fine

>>282640130It only got banned in France. Even the Arabs didn’t ban it despite it being yuri.On that note, the Italian dub is absolutely excellent. Even better than the RoV dub, I’d say.
levels of smug never before imagined
>>282641745>>282641797>>282641830Nanako is my wife. The bobcut + pure hearted schoolgirl combo is just too strong.Given that she likes De Sade, she’s probably got a long list of degenerate fetishes, and she canonically likes older men too.
>>282640478Patrician taste but what about Nanako's mom?
>>282643351>It only got banned in FranceWhy? Kinda ironic considering how much they love RoV
>>282644051Parents said it was too edgy and too gay, so they demanded that the network pull it. 7 episodes aired before it was pulled, but rumour has it that they dubbed at least half the series. The 7 episodes that were dubbed are extremely hard to find, and the ones that didn’t air are basically lost media.I couldn’t find those 7 episodes, but here’s the OP of the French dub:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUU2-Qg4qHQ&pp=ygUQVHJlcyBjaGVyZSBmcmVyZQ%3D%3DAgain, the greatest irony is that the Arabic dub was complete and completely fine (albeit somewhat censored).
>>282639480>becomes a maniacal villain just because her crush didn’t attend her birthday partyWhat was her problem?
>>282645938It's what we in the psychiatry industry call a "woman moment".
>>282638784>masterpieceYep
https://youtu.be/UtpWfK2MeJs?si=jI5ckv1ofj2eEHtB
>>282649409This piece always just summarises the general vibe of the show for me. I’ve generally not seen another anime that captures cozy gothic melancholy as well as Oniisama e.
plappin mariko until she no longer hates men
>>282649951She doesn't hate men by the end of the show. She's defeated by the cock, like many characters who start as seemingly hardcore lesbians..
>>282650022i actually dont remember how things end for the most part so im due for another rewatch i think. just the ridiculous death of saint juste and nanako being cute is all i remember
I read the manga and found it incredibly disappointing compared to Versailles. I thought it was made before RoE but apparently it came out after which felt insane since everything seemed so half baked.
>>282650022Which is kind of the best part for me, I came in expecting manhating commie hippie shit and walked away with a pretty nuanced and reasonable take for both sides while also not really giving a fuck and focusing on the human element. I mean, it's on me for having brain warped by modern politics, but it was pretty refreshing to not be beat on the head with itthough I'm sure hardcore yurifans may not be too happy about it
>>282650159its pretty hard to top a goated manga. oniisama e is still great in its own right
>>282650209Sure but what was odd was how it was so reminiscent of many parts of RoE but not in the sense that she was repeating herself and more in the vein of this being a trial run before she perfected it in RoE which is why I was so shocked when I found out this was made after.
Aaah, kawaii. Suteki da.
>>282650188>spoilerMany aren’t, which is why they’ve spent decades coping by inventing headcanons to justify why the girls couldn’t have wound up with men, and why some have even accused Ikeda of being homophobic (which she very explicitly isn’t). Ikeda IS unapologetically a commie hippie though, and her work stands as proof that that can be a good thing. If anything, Ikeda is the kind of writer that modern leftist writers wish they could be.>>282650334A lot of Oniisama e is Ikeda making her own version of Aim For the Ace, except edgier. That, and the main romance is a spiritual successor of the Oscar x Rosalie dynamic. The anime elevates the manga to an absolute masterpiece though. It’s the definitive way to experience the series, since it’s a lot longer and a lot more fleshed out on top of having 10/10 aesthetics and cinematography.
>>282650188Ikeda is an old-school commie. That mean she cares only about class struggle and under modern standards she can be viewed as far left in the economy but socially conservative. That's not that uncommon but America never had a true left
>>282651826>socially conservativeShe wrote a manga advocating for trans rights in the 70s (pic related), and she’s always been explicitly pro-gay and feminist.The only “conservative” part of her is that she’s a massive westaboo with a hard-on for aristocratic “high culture” to the point that she’s currently a professional opera singer.
>>282651535Beautiful, I wanna brush that hair...
>>282643819>pure hearted schoolgirl
>>282652135Wait, she's still alive?
>>282652575The bobcut is one of the best haircuts a woman can have. It’s perfect intersection between sexiness, cuteness and beauty.>>282652626Yes. She’s pure, which makes her easily corruptible. You could get her to do ANYTHING with you with enough persuasion.
>>282638784>truly a masterpieceIt really is. Mariko a best.
>>282652804Yeah. She’s keeping herself busy. She has a blog that she runs with her colleague (possibly bf) where she just posts what she’s up to in her day to day life:http://baramyu-manatsu.sblo.jp/s/
>>282638784I need to rewatch it; it's truly excellent
>>28264434420 french episodes have been published on dvd according to french wikipedia.
>>282638784It was a really good show, I should rewatch it with my wife one of these days.
>>282643819>>282652845The bob cut looks great on Nanako.I'm not a fan of long hair Nanako at all.
>>282653164what an absolute legend
>>282641797>>282641745Is it just me, or did Nanako get the most fanservice out of any character in the whole show? She had a shit-ton of nude scenes, and every second or third episode involves her getting molested and nearly raped. Someone in the staff was probably getting was getting off to her.>>282654480I understand that longer hair is short hand for a time skip, but losing the iconic bobcut is just sacrilege. I still love Nanako dearly though.
