Episode 5?
>>4082179not till tomorrow.
Pockset-sized Raes
Sorry, anyone had a crossover pic with Bakarina?
>>4082090sorry, anyone had that official art with this ouffit
>>4082541
>>4082564Thanks, also Misha was so close there to score Lene, but she didn`t ;/
>However, things like ILTV drama CDs, figures, and a collaboration café have yet to materialize. As an author, I don't have the power to make these projects a reality myself, but your voices have the ability to make them possible. That said, I would appreciate it if you could lend your support and fill out the monthly Yuri Hime survey.Wataoshi continues to be more popular internationally than domestically it seems. I hadn't thought about the lack of figures and other merch but even Watayuri got those while it was airing a few months ago, so it's not that Yuri Hime/Ichijinsha can't make those deals.
>>4082713Wataoshi it is like a experiment for YH and for the entire yuri "industry" as the first yuri anime made mostly for overseas fans they're in uncharted territory regarding merch, collaborations, etc
>>4082720yeah the fact that they flew Aono out for a signing event at anime expo shows that they're aware of the audience and will put some money down, but that's still a small investment compared to traditional merch.
I've heard people say that the sci-fi twist came about because Inori-sensei wanted to write a different sci-fi story but that didn't work out, but I haven't managed to actually find any evidence of this. Does anyone know if this is anything more than a rumor?
>>4082942It's not like it was explicitly said. IFTV ended, stayed ended for a while, the other scifi story was started, didn't do well, Inori even tweeted at one point about being depressed that it just wasn't coming anywhere near IFTV's readership even though it was better written or something, and then at some point after Part 2 started.
Claire sama shows up on the cover of Inori's new novel.https://twitter.com/bunko_dengeki/status/1718915646392553567?t=GnK6UJiDt6NYxK6B8K74Dg&s=19
>>4082942There may be some truth to it, but also... I'm not sure how much. Revo-Lily arc does tie a few of the loose ends of Revolution arc, so it doesn't feel entirely out of nowhere.
>>4082996I'm more interested in Inori's new novel. What's it about?
>>4082998>Google translated synopsis on its Bunko Dengeki pageAn unconventional demon girl and a serious human girl, both aiming to become heroes!? “Would you like to become a mate with me?” "I don't hate you, but I refuse your marriage proposal." After the end of the war between humans and demons, humans established a school of heroes using the magic tool ``gear'' to train successors. Ruchika, a demon girl who admires being a hero, visits Leonie, the daughter of the hero who defeated the demon lord, when she visits the capital to enroll. Ruchika likes her and proposes marriage to her even though she is in the middle of an exam. Although she is flatly rejected, Ruchika continues to attend school with the aim of becoming a hero, and tries to get even closer to Leonie. The girl-meets-girl school fantasy of girls with different reasons begins with a bang!
>>4083000Sounds stupid and contrived.I'm in.
>>4083000>Although she is flatly rejected, Ruchika continues to attend school with the aim of becoming a hero, and tries to get even closer to Leonie
>>4083000This isn't my girl meets girl, where are the robots, androids and doll joints
>>4083000This sounds familiar
>>4082992Does the other sci-fi story exist anywhere? I kinda want to check it out.
>>4082564If you told me this was a PV for some anime, I'd buy it. With how good Aonoshimo's art is, it's painful that we got an adaptation with such a bland art style.
It'll be interesting to see if Inori new work takes off this time without the English fans backing it as much since not being a web novel makes it's far less likely to get a fan translation. I'm sure seven seas will pick it at some point but that just means waiting 6 month to a year on an official release. >>4083103wish it had a watayuri's budget just so it'd do justice to Aonoshimo style. oh well.
cutting out that Misha refuses to fight back against Rod because he's royalty was pretty lame, it's the main piece of characterization to come out of all three fights but now Misha just looks sort of weak instead of principled to a fault. At least next week we're getting some new content even if it's likely just this scene.
>>4083382Misha loves Yu and doesn't want to hurt their brother, or anyone in general really shes just a nice person.
>666mbLily won't like this.
>>4082564>Rae in LA
>>4083049They have one other work on novelupdates, Crying Hearts: If You Found A Heart Weeping, that lasted 30 chapters so it's probably that. I've never heard anyone talk much about it outside of pointing out that Inori dropped it and went back to IFTV, so if you read it then tell use how it is. >Japan is at risk because of terrorists called ‘the Neoepicureans’. A girl attending a girls’ school in Tokyo — Kōko meets another ‘girl’. If you can call her a girl, that is. ‘She’ is an android. Targeting the android — Ichigo — are those who unveil themselves as ‘magicians’. Deeper and deeper, Kōko is pulled into the battle for Ichigo behind the curtains. Out of the sight of the everyday person, fights unfold between ‘magicians’. This story is a yuri fantasy set in the modern age, told by the mysterious speaker ‘Metako’. — If you found a heart weeping, what would you do?https://www.novelupdates.com/series/crying-hearts-if-you-found-a-heart-weeping/
>>4083382S2 never, so in fact they should cut and rush more so they can cover all of vol 2 hereOtherwise this will be yet another baity incomplete anime that doesn't deliver if you don't read sourceMan, TenTen was really great for adjusting the pace so it could deliver on the yuri without making you read the source
>>4083654>Baity>Praising tenten Stfu retarded kiss autist, tenten was actual boring garbage with no redeeming qualities other than the yuri scenes that weren't even the majority, Prisma illya isn't better than yuri shows without kisses and if you disagree you're not welcome here.
>>4083658>how dare you like shows where the girls become a coupleClaire is still being shipped with a man hereBy this point in TenTen, Anis was doing away with her brotherThis has too much het with Claire's bishit- It needs to have her get with Rae in the only season it'll ever have to compensante or it's shitTenTen at least did away with the het in episode 1 (and Euphie was forced for politics reasons. She's never shown to have an interest in men, unlike Clarie.)TenTen also had the production necessary to make it's magic stuff work, unlike the sad state of affairs in this showThe Prisma comparison is bad faith. No one in TenTen is shown to lust after men like Illya, Kuro, Rin and Luvia do ShirouTenTen is far better than the magic academy adventures of cuck Rae willing to give her love to a man
>>4083661I like MagiRevo a lot (Haven't read the novels, may give them a try), but don't use it as a point of comparison to WataOshi. Claire being a bislut is important and makes her developing feeligns for Rei sweeter. And the supporting cast of WataOshi is actually relevant, unlike in MagiRevo.And Rei being ok with Claire just being happy with someone else is the entire fucking point of her character development. Will probably be the end of the season.If you're so desperate for the yuri, read the fucking novels and get the fuck off this thread.
These comparisons make no sense since we know Rei and Clare get together in the source materialEven without going that far, we know their relationship progresses after that Dominator broad's arc finishes
>>4083822I just don't want anime watchers to spam that it's not yuri if this season itself doesn't deliver. They'll never read the source, so can't use that as argument.
>>4083847>>4083822The point is how well the anime stand on it's own, and how yuri it is without muh sourceMagiRevo doesn't need muh sourceWill WataOshi? I know they get together in vol 2. Problem is: anime apparently is too slow and won't cover all of that vol. So how well the anime stands on it's own without the source is unknown to meI hope the anime doesn't end up being a hefesta with the MC cucking herself for muh Claire's happiness and all the actual reciprocal yuri being in the source. I understand what the OG story goes for, but given S2 never, the anime might be fucked and might've benefited from skipping and rushing moreSorry, but "go read muh source" isn't a defense of the anime. Purely as anime, one that stands on it's own is better than one that doesn't
>>4083878>how yuri it isIt will have Manaria so we will have a gay Claire, not Rae and Claire being a couple but enough gayness to be yuri without a hint of doubt.
>>4083878The final arc the anime is going to cover will address Rae's whole thing about Only Wanting Claire To Be Happy and does so by introducing a new female revival instead involving Thane, so maybe it'll get minor points for that. But at the end of the day it's a budget adaption that wont reach the part where they kiss or official get together and that'll always turn people away to some degree. At best, more people will read the manga and light novels.
>>4083883I don't know if that compensates all the het in this first partAs a show, WataOshi may really need that 2nd season. But that's never happening, so as a show WataOshi may be VERY lacking and depend too much on go read the source, which isn't good
>>4083895Tbf it will have a much better ending that almost any other one cour adaptation out there. Rae will gain the courage to fight for Claire's love and Manaria will show us that Claire isn't straight so Rae will have a chance, that's much more than what other romance anme have, even outside yuri.
>>4083896Not really. Stop being delusional. Maybe if it didn't come at the cost of having to put up with Rae being willing to NTR herself for most of it. As a romance, that kind of story only works if they deliver and get the characters togetherSo in the source, it works. But in the anime, as an stand alone product. No. The anime will be one hell of a "go read the source" unless the very unlikely S2 happens
>>4083902Nta, Shut the fuck up annoying twat
>>4083909Maybe the creators should've rushed it to get all of vol 2 in the only season they'll have. Or given it 2 cours, or not adapted it at all
>>4083913Unfortunately it's just another anime to advertise the LN/manga, but when it happens to yuri it sucks because you know they'll never get a second season to give it a proper and satisfying ending. It happened with yagakimi as well, good adaptation but incomplete as fuck. If it bothers you it'd be better to just drop the anime altogether and stick to the novels
Reminder to never entertain or reply to retards who keep playing "it's not yuri yet" schizo game in known yuri series
>>4084139Is it "known" for the casual viewer?
>>4083564>Translation deletedGoddammit, that sounds really cool. Longshot, but I don't suppose you know if it exists elsewhere?
>>4083902Rae clearly doesn't actually want to NTR herself and she's very obviously lying (to herself as well)# about only wanting Claire to be happy. She's not fucking Tomoyo.
>>4084483Tomoyo never have a chance.
>>4084139Retard. Again, it's about how well the anime holds up witnhout the source if it doesn't get another season. >>4084483Doesn't change it's what she's doing here and that the whole point is for her to overcome the mindset and get with Claire, but the anime won't get to them becoming a couple, so it won't stand very well on it's own unless the very unlikely 2nd season/cour happens
>>4084478oh damn, sorry I didn't notice the translation was gone. Doing a little digging it seems Inori did a rewrite of it so it could be submitted to a light novel contest but as part of the rules they couldn't have the translation up. I kind of remember this, I don't think it even placed which was why they ended up going back to wataoshi. Anyway unless someone has some backups the only other place it might be is in their fanbox.
since today is dog day in japan
>>4084542Im on her fanbox, and I couldn't seem to find it...
>>4084845well her ko-fi has plenty of posts titled Crying Hearts behind the paywall that I presume will have the translation in but you'll have to sub if you wanna find out.
the official audiobook is out today, the preview sounds pretty good. Maybe this is how I'll get around to reading the later volume when those audiobooks come out. https://sevenseasaudiobooks.com/#lovevillainessalso while the Q&A videos were translated by Sephallia as text only a while ago yurireader is still releasing subbed versions, plus there's a a yuri hime promo video, this time for Citrus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQqAWk1nt88https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si5vTyIIs7s
Look at this creature
>>4085917damn brat, needs Rae correction
Chapter 36 is out. Some cute outfits this month.https://mangadex.org/chapter/25f03a20-0406-491e-86f4-3c7344bc0d25
>>4084478Someone copied it over to wattpad:https://www.wattpad.com/story/288918516Some of the original webpages have also been archived, but the prologue and chapter 1 haven't: https://web.archive.org/web/20210922013852/https://tsujiharupages.wordpress.com/2021/09/21/02-the-android/
>>4086752 nice find anon, I would not have thought to check wattpad,
>>4086752The set-up seems pretty cool. I wonder why it didn't do well.
>>4087182there's a general consensus in publishing that fantasy tends to sell better than sci-fi so it could just be that some readers saw "android" and decided to pass. I also saw some comments talking about how the oneshot about the love triangle between May, Aleah and Lily is actually the setup to a sequel Inori wrote. The working title is Turn Around To Me, still set 10 years after wataoshi, and apparently the only reason it hasn't been announced is because her publisher thought it would confuse the audiences while the anime is airing. Not sure where this fits in with her new series coming out this month but I suppose there's nothing stopping her writing two books at the same time. Maybe Inori doubling down on twincest and age gap is how she intends to finally get more JP fans than EN kek.
>>4087202>age gap>incestThe reason it hasn't been announced is because it would've led to western audiences cancelling Inori and making the anime flop. They're already bitching about how the Lene/Lambert incest thing 'ruined' the manga for them.
>>4087247Though just for the record: I'm all in for it. I want to read that shit. I had already wanted a sequel with May and Aleah as MCs.
I want May and Aleah to gang up on and sexually bully Lily
>>4087247>Lene and Lambert incestThe only thing they should complain about is that Lambert isn't a girl and the fact that we don't have a yuri incest couple in Wataoshi.
Cute scientists
Cover of Rei's doujin
>>4087828>yuri incest coupleI wish RevoLily was real just so I could play the Dorothea route over and over.
>>4087992looking very Edelgard there, Miss Claire.
I really liked how they moved the claire flashback to here and, had it, relate to the sleeping bag scene. Really cute change that worked well.
>>4085917>>4086075Would Rae?
>>4088112100%
Read the novels years ago up until tranny Yu then dropped it like a hot potatoStill, the first act of the series was entertaining, so it was nice to watch thisfuck the author tho
>>4088313But Yu is not a tranny. Born female, wants to be female and be rid of the male curseWould be a tranny if she was born male and wanted to be female
>>4088313Yu is not a tranny, she is born female.There is a real tranny in the latter part tho, I think the name is Joel.
>>4088313Good, never pick it up again, the author and the people who actually like this story don't want you here, bye bye!
>>4088356>>4088362same shit desu>>4088365>you should to care about LE WANTS of other people!no kys
>>4088387Actual brainlet.
>>4087828A birthday bonus story that inori wrote implied that May is in love with Aleah (with a note at the top saying this might not be canon), and this might’ve been the direction part 3 of Wataoshi would have gone if it didn’t get put on hold.
>>4088387>same shit desuNo it's not, in fact I'm waiting for one retard on twitter to make Wataoshi Japan's Hogwarts Legacy.
>>4088387How is it the same?. Yu just doesn't want to go along with the curse she had. >>4088431Will the anime get to the incest stuff? I know it's apparently pretty minor but any inclusion of it can make these people mad if the characters aren't treated like the worst people to exist
>>4088553>Will the anime get to the incest stuff?at this pace? Most definitely. It may reach all the way to the scales of love.
>>4088570I dont think thats into question. Manaria is in the opening.
Claire motorboated her own mother but had the gall to claim that she's straight.
>>4088669Imagine when Claire reaches her mother's age.
>>4088654I would remember that if I bothered watching that trainwreck more than once.
>knights in dining armorAlright, I laughed.
What was her problem?
>>4089774She's what they would call a "homosexual".
Wait did Claire's sister really rape a maid?
>>4089783see>>4059434
>>4089785Okay I'm reading the manga for the first time but why did they introduce a rapist? Why did Rei shake the rapist's hand when they left? Why the fuck did Lene's brother just suddenly want to fuck her and why did Rei accept them and compare incest to homosexuality and wish them happiness?
>>4089786>Why the fuck did Lene's brother just suddenly want to fuck herwhat did you expect, a 500 page novel to explain two support characters' backstory?
>>4089783It's been a long time since I read it but if I remember correctly the former maid in question shows up eventually in the second half of the series and has feelings for Manaria making this retroactively a little less bad (moving it more into classic shoujo rapey love interest who the heroine falls for eventually territory)
>>4089783honestly, even without the retroactive RevoLily context, it's ambiguous at best. "selfishly" could mean a shitton of things, like... simply giving in to the desire despite being a royal. Which is what RevoLily implies anyways.
>>4089786Go back to tumblr.
So where can I read it? Is it translated somewhere?? The special "adult" chapter between Rae and Claire Inori mentioned in the afterword of vol 3???
>>4090677https://www.wattpad.com/1012684791-if4vth3v1l-1-r-18
>>4090677I've read it... it's pretty bad desu, not really worth the effort of finding it
>>4090677Just write your own lemon.>Two years worth of pussy juice made a glopping noise as it flowed endlessly into Claire's mouth
>>4090920
So next week is the start of the Manaria arc?
>>4091639No the incest maid arc
>>4091654Theres no way that lasts more than one episode unless they really pad things out.
>>4091664It's probably gonna be one for the investigation and cliffhanger and one for the resolution
>>4089786incest has always been well received by true anime fans
I just finished reading the LN.So can someone help me understand, what the fuck was that. I still don't understand the nature of their world. Is the world really all just a simulation and Rei Ohashi is the only one with a physical body?
>>4089786Incest is fine if it's two girls
>>4091882It's been a while since I finished the ln. But I don't think Rei Ohashi is the only one with a physical body. If that was the case, what's stopping her from just waking up from the simulation and wrecking TAIM physically? Also, if everything is just a simulation, why not just have infinite resources instead of cycling between scientific civilization and magic civilization?
>>4091882No, it's not a simulation. It's kinda stupid but it goes like this:Original humanity led themselves to extinction. OG Rei and Claire built the loop system which took human souls, stored them into quantum data, and then they let humanity go extinct. After a few centuries of nothingness, they rebuilt the world with nanomachines and reinserted humanity into it, but now with a fantasy setting. Magic stones are just radiation for some reason.OG Rei is the only one who is not strictly a part of the loop system, being its admin. She gets inserted into it, but she has her memories of all loops. TL:DR: Everything is real and built with NANOMACHINES, DAUGHTER
>>4092086Is this what happens when someone tries to write yuri while on meth?
>>4092141It's what happens when an author's writes a failed book, then tries to piggyback it on their previous succesful story.
I hope the manga goes a different direction. I think you can keep all the demon queen stuff without the sci fi stuff.
>>4092152Mangaka seems to have liked hte Sci-Fi stuff so I doubt it.
>>4092159And besides, the idea of an adaptation going in a different direction (unless it’s WN to LN) is blasphemy currently. Thanks to Soul Eater and other such shows that deviated from the source and had people screeching for a remake to this daySo now, gotta follow the source
>>4092152>>4092159>>4092168I think that depends on the project or intentions, the manga versions of Yugioh GX onwards have been completely different from the anime versions.You also have to consider that the manga versions tend to be stupidly slow, I think the Shana and ZnT ones are still being published.
>>4092216>the manga versions of Yugioh GXyeah but weren't those anime first? The anime>manga pipeline tends to be different to the LN>manga pipeline.
>>4092227but the idea of what I'm trying to say remains, the LN manga adaptations tend not to have the same notoriety as the anime adaptation and as I said they are really slow, isn't it better to be different?
>>4092236I mean, the manga to MT seems to have some differences and people hate thatAlso, this creates the problem of people who go from manga to anime and then if the anime covers gets to the parts the manga changed, manga readers now start complaining assuming the manga's the source or faithful to the source, and thus the fanbase is divided
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1x_aSWcheUThe full ED released
>>4092891Nice. Opposite to the OP; I really like this song.
>>4092891Its really cute.
Claire and Rae in suits look so hot
did a double take thinking a game had been announced. If only we had the money of the strawberry panic era were even it got a visual novel.
>>4093576japanese exclusive?
>>4093576what even is that? looks AI generated
>>4093630nee-san that's just what Hanagata's art looks like... anyway it's a boxset for the light novels, it's designed like a Switch special edition.>>4093583Thai actually, it's pretty popular over there so they tend to get extras.https://twitter.com/_Lilyhouse/status/1724744191694270614
>>4093656The fake switch thing is what made me think it was AI generated to be honest.
I like that despite how energetic Rae is, she's still perceptive of Claire's feelings and understand her pretty well. Man I am so sick of those genki airheaded dense MCs.q
>>4094229yeah Rae is great
So why is Rei okay being cucked by a man but not by a woman?
>>4095399if it's a man then she never had a chance, if it's a woman then she had a chance and still lost
>>4095399She respects someone's sexual preference/orientation, but she can't handle losing to another woman when it comes to Claire.
>>4095537How long until this happens in the manga?
>>4095399If it's a man, then Claire is straight and she never had a chance anyways.If it's a woman, then Claire is bi and she does have a chance.
Oh, so that was the part that was wild!
AAh,they should had removed this part,
Is this series really unpopular in Japan? I was looking at Niconico rankings and it's way down in 56th place for the season.
>>4095937Removed? Nah. It just needed rewording. Rae comparing incest to homosexuality is unncessary as hellJust have her start her speech to Lambert like "You're in a forbidden relationship" "Your love is forbidden" "There are loves that are forbidden" and then keep the rest the exact sameEasy and doesn't have the weird "Incest=homosexuality" stuff.
>>4095938I kept seeing people reference the fact that this series is bigger overseas than it is in japan, which I have...no way of confirmingBut objectively speaking for the anime itself...its really not that amazing of a production so I can see why it falls off to the side
>>4095937>>4096011It makes moralfags butthurt about incest, so it's very necessary.
>>4095920>>4095937This is /u/ bitch, we clown on this muthafucka, better take yo sensitive ass back to tumblr
>>4095649about a year and a half? volume 8 of the manga is currently in the Church/Yu arc, after which it'll go into the endgame revolution arc. So probably around the end of volume 10.
>>4096016>which I have...no way of confirmingI think about this too sometimes, though there are some comments Inori has made saying as much. Closest things to numbers we can see easily is stuff like twitter followers for the promotional accounts. Still not the best but I feel like an account posting only in Japanese about merch and events you can only get in Japan probably as more JP accounts following it than EN or otherwise. >Yuru Yuri - 132.4K Followers>Bloom into You - 81K Followers>MagiRevo - 73.2K Followers>Whisper Me a Love Song - 60.6K Followers>Citrus - 55K Followers>Yuri is my Job! - 49K Followers>Adachi and Shimamura - 43.9K Followers>I'm in Love with the Villainess - 37.5K Followers>Otherside Picnic - 30.4K Followers>Asagao and Kase-san. - 19.4K FollowersMost yuri anime accounts aren't huge but still, Whisper Me a Love Song has managed to get 20k more and it hasn't even aired yet. The light novels also only got paperback releases in Japan recently but they stopped at volume 3 so I guess poor sales must have contributed something to that, because if they'd only wanted the original story they'd have stopped at volume 2.
>>4096011the dub basically did this by making Rae sound angry about the comparison instead:>Homosexual love isn't the only kind of forbidden love. You and Lene are blood siblings, as well as->Can you believe that some would say that homosexuality is the forbidden love? But here you are with Lene and she's your blood sibling and you-!
>>4096117wow for once a dub got things right. should have made them both sisters instead because i dont random het incest forced into my yuri anime.
>>4096011>>4096117>>4096150I think y'all are missing the point. The idea isn't "homosxuality=incest", it's simply that both types of love are forbidden and that's literally it.
>>4096235Hell, when lene asks if they're the same, Rei literally says "no"
>>4096235>y'all
>>4096378I ain't bri'ish, I don't care
>>4096117I watched the dub clip and yeah that's a good way to handle it if you wanted to bring up the comparison because both are "forbidden love". Like, it's not the same. C'mon now
>>4096235I guess. It's still a clumsy line that makes Rae's intentions easy to misunderstand. Nothing that ruins the show for me or anything, but definitely a weird line in my honest opinion
>>4096117>>4096410Leave it to the burger dub to fuck it up with their political bullshit as usual.
>>4096016Saw the author replying to overseas baka gaijin in twatter. She cool.
>>4096570>She
>>4096788>>>/pol/
>>4096825>anon doesn't know
>>4096094>but they stopped at volume 3So I was looking at the paperback volume 3 description, and I think Ichijinsha actually split the original volume 2 into two so the new volume 2 has the Manaria, Beach, and Yuu arcs and the new volume 3 has all the revolution part.Which I think fit better with She is so Cheeky for a Commoner (as it has 3 volumes).I wonder if there is a chance that maybe a modified Part 2 can happen in the future (maybe now after Inori's new story been published) and that is the reason why Ichijinsha split volume 2 and doesn't release anymore volumes yet?
>>4097032>>anonGet back to >>>/pol/ you filthy crossboarder
>>4097114oh I didn't know that but it's interesting and does make sense for it to fit alongside She is so Cheeky for a Commoner. It makes me even more curious about whether the manga will cover Part 2. I could see them titling it as an official sequel and starting back at volume 1, kind of like Citrus+

The anime is more fun than I thought it'd be and it motivated me to read the source. I'm on the first wn volume. I gotta say, it's pretty nice - I went straight to the part where Manaria comes and skipped the chapters about Rei's first love because I think that would piss me off. So it's quite the nice experience all in all. I like some takes that she has like this: 'The phrase “sex doesn’t matter” said often in creative works isn’t actually realistic.' It does feel like a cope for the authors that use it or a way to help skittish readers more comfortable with a gay story.
>>4102420>the chapters about Rei's first loveThat part was honestly some of my favorite moments in the LN. It was nice to see her act like a normal human being instead of screeching about Claire every five seconds. Of course, it went completely stupid at the end and ruined every bit of emotional buildup it gained, but that's par for the course for this series.
>>4096235>>4096117No, Rae is clearly sympathetic and the parallel of "love that can't be realized because of society" is intentional, esp. if you consider Rei's own backstory in the novels. The shitty burger dub is literally an attempt at rewriting her character. I don't give a flying fuck about Lambert, but changing one of the most endearing qualities of Rei - the fact that she's willing to consider things coded as "bad" by society by their own genuine merits and faults - is fucking retarded. Her own experiences made her that way and one could say it's the entire reason she liked Claire in the first place, as villainesses are "meant" to be disliked.If you don't believe me, even in the later chapters of the novel, Lene comes back and Rei is really happy things are working out well for her and her brother. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's retarded to rewrite the story otherwise. Inori is clearly ok with incest anyway considering they teased Mei/Alea in one of the side chapters. Which is based, by the way.

Alright bros I saw this series and I fell in love with it. I gotta get more. Is there another season in the works or is it over?
>>4104613Buy the box set. >bros
>>4103995It's not Rae's character is the issue it's the writing that's tone deaf with pushing its "love is blind" message so it just comes off as sanctimonious and preachy. Then again the writer is a TIM and has no concept of societal oppression that actual lesbians experience. If this was written by a real woman, the scenario would have instead been about literally ANYTHING ELSE like a couple involving a noble and commoner who can't love freely because of societal pressures, or even an age-gap couple, or SOMETHING which would have still showcased Rae's character as someone who questions societal norms and accepts different forms of love. I normally don't care if there's incest in a work but also trying to be serious and making moral standpoint in a trashy tropey anime story at the same time seems so egregious and inappropriate.
>>4104617Sounds like a case of crippling autism on your part.
>>4104326She look like manaria but with brown hair,

These background dykes seem more interested in each other than in Manaria.
