Yori best girl

I've seen a lot of people speculate Himari will top when they finally have sex for the first time, but I'm also wondering how much of an appetite Himari has for a more feminine Yori.

>feminization

Posted in the other thread, but anyone wondering why quality is inconsistent and there's so much QUALITY: The studio has yet to put out a decent production
This show is sadly not the exception to their rep https://anidb.net/creator/66586

>>4213406
Feminizing tomboys should be publishable by death. Having said that, Yori would probably turn into a wet mess in bed and let Himari have her way with her.

>>4213406
I predict Himari will top at least initially, if only to assuage Yori's fears about being pushy and forcing her.

But first, a 30 chapter Miki arc.

I've been thinking about how much they fumbled sunny spot this week. The song is the big finale of this first arc and in the manga it makes sense to have a monologue while Yori sings because it's not like we could hear it. So it's a pretty baffling choice to keep the monologue going now that they have a song, making it so that once again you can't hear it. Even just from the production committee side I'd want to make sure the songs and artist they're promoing through the anime actually got heard so people will buy the single or whatever.

>>4213439
Makes sense, but I wonder why Seiyuu Radio also looks like shit. Blew the budget on top-shelf seiyuu and animating boob touching scenes?

Can't wait for Shiho to ruin the rest of the anime with her bullshit

>>4213872
What anime?

>>4213782
Wdym I thought that the monologue was a nice touch

>>4213782
The biggest tragedy was, Yori's monologue and the song's lyrics were saying the exact same thing at the exact same time almost the whole sequence. Separately, they both sound good and touching and all that, but why purposely overlap them on top of each other to clash?

Also, I'm mildly annoyed the full version of the song wasn't immediately made available anywhere simultaneously with that episode airing. D4DJ Groovy Mix JP has a short version slightly different from the TV version now, but that's it.

>>4213653
Hey, maybe they can sneak in a YoriHima sex chapter in the middle of whatever side couple shitshow Takeshima's got brewing this time. We might see it happen in 4 months IRL time, as opposed to 3 years.

Can't wait for Shiho to improve the rest of the anime with her bullshit

Shiho cute

>>4213967
Hopefully if not a sex chapter, then at least a cuddling/comfort chapter, given how Himari is Miki's best friend and there's no way she won't be feeling like shit after the latest chapter.

As far back as chapter 1, and probably years ago in the story, Himari knew

>>4213910
it is nice but this is an anime about girls being in a bands, writing original songs and playing them. Yori makes a big deal about writing that song for Himari and we don't even get to hear it properly. As >>4213967 says they're also both saying similar things so why not just let the music speak for itself.

>>4214535
It's a yuri anime with a girl band, not a girl band anime with yuri. AdaShima didn't focus on table tennis either.

>>4214537
sure but they did actually make the song and animate them playing it. They just didn't need to have a monologue on top when they are, sometimes literally, saying the same thing.

>>4214537
But this manga has a lot of focus on the music. In adashima it was used so they could waste time together. Here, the music is part of the plot, it is important to the characters.

Anyone else excited for Shiho in the anime?

no

Yes

maybe

I don't know

can you repeat the question?

>>4214537
One is called Whisper Me a Love Song, the other isn't called Two Autists Playing Table Tennis.

>>4215677
Would be more accurate to call it "Two Autists Dealing with their Hang-Ups Poorly".

>series is called Whisper Me A Love Song
>they dont whisper when they sing
Dropped. Call me back when we get "Mongolian Throat Sing Me A Love Song"

Well, things are heating up in the drama department!

JC Staff has tried that with the yakuza househusband show. Replies were not positive
This show will surprise me if the final episode isn't an absolute mess and if it gets there with 0 delays. Goddamn, Iceblade Sorceror was a mess and I knew this would be
Yuri adaptations are so cursed and Sasakoi is getting the worst effects of the curse

>>4215990
Rude. The drums are there. Mari is just so small you can't see them.

>>4216027
Why the fuck do they never learn?

They've accelerated beyond two episodes per volume, even skipping over Yori and Himari's first date as a couple entirely. Get ready, they're going to get all the way to the end of the culture festival leaving a trail of blood from all the cuts.

>>4214535
Syncing the monologue with the lyrics is artistically the better choice imho. It gave me goosebumps while watching.

I bet they really want to end the cour with Himari and Yori kissing under the fireworks

>>4216398
That's the end of volume 6 so they wouldn't need to speed up from two episodes per volume if that's where they wanted to end it.

>Caught up with the manga
Why can't Kino just admit she wants Yori shempai to finger blast her all night long?

their matching straps.....

>>4216418
they've been doing 2 to 3 chapters per episode the whole time and while the last episodes have covered a lot I think it was just to get them on track for a volume 6 ending. Currently it looks like this:
>episode 1: ch 1 - 3
>episode 2: ch 4 - 5 (vol 1 ends)
>episode 3: ch 6 - 8
>episode 4: ch 8 - 10 (vol 2 ends)
>episode 5: ch 11 - 13
>episode 6: ch 14 - 17 (vol 3 ends)
>episode 7: ch 17 - 20 (vol 4 ends)

And the next four will probably be something like:
>episode 8: ch 21 - 23
>episode 9: ch 24 - 26 (vol 5 ends)
>episode 11: ch 27 - 30
>episode 12: ch 31 - 32 (vol 6 ends)

>>4216752
I can't believe the production is so bad they have to skip episode 10 entirely... Also episode 8 has the title of chapter 25 so it's going to adapt/skip through at least five chapters. I'm sorry, but there are no breaks on this train.

>>4216942
Maybe they want to end the season on onee-chan no baka.

>>4216942
oh shit I didn't notice I skipped past episode 10, sorry. But damn, if they're up to chapter 25 next week then we really are doing a whole volume per episode now, huh? On one hand at least you don't run into typical yuri adaptation problem of leaving arcs unfinished, on the other this production barley has the budget to animate a normal episode, never mind ones with an extra 3 minutes since keep adding by cutting the op and ed.

Damn, they even forgot to draw Yori's microphone stand on the shots without the 3D model. I feel bad for the mangaka, imagine the happiness of getting your manga adapted crush by the realization that the anime is a steaming pile of dog vomit.

>>4217530
And the art is good in the manga too. This is basically the Berserk 2016 of yuri.

>>4217530
>>4217548
The anime has tons of issues but stop exaggerating.

>>4216685
Are we even going to get the festival kiss with all the content they have to cut to blaze through Shiho's arc?

>>4217559
There's a chance it either gets cut, which would be a fucking tragedy, or they rush so fast we'll see it by episode 9.

>>4217530
It hasn't ruined the enjoyment for me at least but its the most obvious example of development/production issuse in recent memory.

hyperbole aside it looks like it'll be in the stage play too. I wonder how much that will adapt? If I remember right Yagakimi's stage play just covered the anime the first time round, then for the second run they added the manga's ending.

>>4217701

Did they do the sex scene?

>>4217743
well okay, they adapted nearly everything in the manga.
It's the same theater company that's putting on sasakoi so if you're curious then you can check it out subbed.

I don't think mangakas care that much about their anime as long as they don't change the story without their consent. Most are probably just grateful for the increased exposure they get.

People underestimate how strict the issue of schedules and contracts that have to be fulfilled is, if Toei was willing to almost kill digimon (anime) to not lose a slot in the schedule, anything bad is possible.

Now I question if these people would put faith and effort in the BD.

The only advantage is that it helps humiliate Eupho even more this season, even with lower production values, this anime is still better.

It's also close enough to the manga. I know people complain about lazy adaptations just tracing the manga but considering the sheer lack of time/talent/budget the studios adapting this have, almost every time they tried to go off and do their own thing it looks way worse.

>>4219962
I've seen people wonder if the artstyle was changing just for the "normal" models multiple times per episode and that could be another symptom of the production hell this went through.

>>4219966
yeah it's kinda sad that this adaptation will primarily be remembered for it's production issues. I'm also not sure how normal it is to bring in a new production assistant to work on the last 3 episodes of a show so I can't say if that's a good sign or not. The fireworks kiss is likely going to be episode 9 so that's beyond what he can go back and tweak.

>>4220847
Novel spoilers: it ends in het, no girls get together
Kumiko gets together with Suuichi

>>4220855
That's in the novels, but the anime has so few scenes with them that it can hardly be called a relationship (wouldn't be surprised if they don't have them get together at all but that might happen even if it would be bullshit).
Meanwhile a yuri couple got an entire movie for themselves, and two more are practically confirmed to have gotten together (not to mention Kumiko's confession to Asuka).

>>4220824
what a mess. I feel for everyone still working on it but it sounds like we're in for a bumpy ride till the finale.

>>4222302

right now i guess they're not close to finished

>>4222343
it seems like their aim was to cover up to volume 8 and finish the aki/shiho arc but who knows how that'll pan out now with these delays.

>>4222364
Besides the visual issues, I can guess the problems with the pacing, why cover too much: A foolish idea of not ending in the middle of Aki/Shiho arc, even it'd be better for pacing. They wanted the anime to have more finality to it. But Aki/Shiho take over way too soon for the anime to finish before their stuff starts.
At that point they had 2 choices:
1)Go for better pacing and end the anime in the middle of the arc
2)Rush and try to finish the whole arc. Looks like they chose 2

>>4222379
If they want to reach volume 9 for the school festival band battle, then the pacing they went with is very weird. First six episodes to cover the Himari/Yori stuff in the first three volumes (and a bit of vol. 4) and then six episodes for volumes 4 to 9? They should've sped the first part up by a couple episodes, that way the overall pacing is still way too fast but at least more evenly spread.

>>4222398
Maybe they wanted Himari and Yori to have as many episodes to themselves as possible before they lose focus? They're the MCs. And have been the subject of most of the anime's promotion. If they don't have at least half the show to themselves, it could be a problem

>>4222398
I wounder how much the director changing might have played into this? the first director boarded episode 1 so they must have had a plan but perhaps after the switch the new director wanted to try and cover more. It could just as easily be incompetence though, given the current state of things.

>>4222302
Any times I've see an anime get delayed it never looks any better for it. At this point they'll just be trying to push out what they're contractually obligated to. I didn't watch Wonder Egg Priority so this is just going off what I remember people talking about but it got similarly delayed with a recap episode and the finale being pushed back months. When the finale did air half of the episode was just more recap footage and the rest was lackluster minimal animation. I think even sasakoi's bluray has been delayed so who knows if they'll even be many fixes on them.

>>4222474
Regalia's latest episodes were decent in my opinion so there is still some hope left, the problem of that show was that the shota was a very bad antagonist.

>>4222474
>>4222304

>>4222484
Regalia was also by a decent studio thst have shown they could deliver
Even before the reset episodes didn’t look near as bad as Sasakoi’s recent episodes
I wish ACTAS was doing TV yuri instead of just movies (GuP and PriPri). Instead all they do recently for TV is het

so do we have anything to look forward other than QUALITY after 2 recaps and the shitfest of an arc thats coming to the manga?

Fixes on BDs are usually modest these days, since discs are no longer a very important revenue driver. Some of the worst scenes may get fixed, but not too much. Since the studio will also have other, more pressing commitments, BDs could easily get delayed for more than a year. Don't expect miracles.

I know this is the last of the show's worries, but man, it's a bummer how they're in such a hurry they have to comb through each chapter and remove anything that's deemed not strictly necessary to progress the main plot. We end up losing lots of charming moments like Aki catching Shiho actually being tense about passing the audition.

>>4223793
Shiho is already a divisive character so it's a shame that they've cut some of the smaller moments that humanize her, like that one and Hajime comforting her after the concert. Those are both moments that remind you she's still a dumb teen who worries about stuff like everyone else.
Also as much as I liked the alternate ending with Laureley it was surreal watching it knowing they can barley afford to animate the actual episodes. They could have used that time and money on episodes 9 to 12 but here we are with a two week delay.

>>4223961
They also cut the entire scene of Himari actually learning about the band feud from Shiho herself while at cooking club, which also had more moments between Laureley members. I do really like the ED though, it must've been commissioned to a different team uninvolved with animating the episodes themselves and so we got this weird amalgamation of episodes that can barely hold together and a well-made ED.

As far as production disasters go, one of the anime that jumps to my mind first is Marchen Madchen, and this anime is already following in its footsteps

>last 2 episodes left completely in the air (Marchen Madchen's last 2 episodes were initially delayed 9 months but didn't actually air until 13 months later)

>>4224356
Ignoring the art and animation falling apart, the anime follows closely enough to the manga until about episode 6/chapter 15, so chapter 16 (or the Vol. 2 extra) would be a good place to start.

...which was what I was going to say but there were a few good scenes sadly cut from as early as chapter 9.

Might as well tell anon to read from the start, it's worth it for the art alone even if the anime hadn't started cutting too much stuff out yet. That said, I'm sad Yori's dad was completely cut.

why make an "anime" if you don't have any budget for it?

>>4224356
You definitely should. Art is cute so why not just start from the beginning. Shouldn't take too much of your time.

>>4224369
True. It's just the last time I did something like this was for WataYuri but when I went back and read the start of the manga it didnt seem like the anime skipped anything.

>>4224368
There's more to production problems than just budget. Watch Shirobako to know about everything that can go wrong during the creation of an anime.

>>4224086
>>4224368
Why are there people acting like this is the only anime with production problems? There are much more embarrassing cases (God Eater anyone) or that one where the animation studio changed because the author didn't like the result.

>>4224435
>google God Eater anime
>2015
Gee, maybe because your first comparison is almost 10 years old. Recency is kind of relevant.

>>4224435
For all its faults, the God Eater anime at least *looked* good and had actual directing, however questionable it was.

What's annoying about the Sasakoi adaptation, is that some people clearly come with the attitude of "this is yuri and that's why it's bad" and that there's no mention that the production problems aren't as dramatic as some try to make them out to be.

>>4224435
They're not? This thread has already mentioned girls und panzer, magica record and wonder egg. People are just bewildered and/or sad that this anime which was already delayed a whole season still managed to fumble getting the final episodes out. On top of that we just came off of two other yuri hime anime's releasing just fine when sasakoi is arguably the more popular title of the three, as well as GBC and jelly grabbing a lot of attention from the yuri crowd this season. It makes its failures look worse even if there are others that fucked up way more.

>>4224442
>>4224451
I think Sasakoi it is dying thanks to its potential rather than for being just a cheap adaptation, the anime was in production just when MyGo was exploding in popularity so it was kind of obvious that they discarded their original plan to make it just another love story and their new plan was to monetize the musical part of the story (part that Takeshima has no rights over with the exception of the characters and the bands names) and that's why we are in this mess right now. So no, it isn't the yuri or the budget the problem here.

>>4224454
That makes sense, so it's more of an adaptation with production problems and it's more of a multimedia project with production problems, it may seem similar but the second one has more "things" involved.

Although in this sense, I think that anime should take the typical CG route for presentations, which is not cheaper but what it does is save time, which is also important.

>> sasakoi is arguably the more popular title of the three, as well as GBC and jelly grabbing a lot of attention from the yuri crowd this season.

That reminds me of a tweet (in Japanese) that mentioned the scene of the Yuyuyu S3 band, due to the popularity of the 3 series of bands this season, Sasakoi is included there (I mention it just out of curiosity)

>>4224454
I hadn't considered the ambition of the project wanting to hype up the music more to be a factor but it does make sense, we even saw that this week where the episode was cutting corners at every turn (placing the camera behind characters so they they didn't need to animate them talking, few to none background characters in the hallways or streets) but still having a new ending featuring Laureley's song. The stage play has also been hyping up the live music performances with a lot of bts of the girls practicing. And yes, the fact that it'd be a part they didn't have to pay Takeshima royalties for would have definitely incentivized them.

Interesting collaboration.

>>4226535
Now this makes me want one with Show By Rock too, it would make sense.

>>4226536
Why is it with Hello Kitty and not Show By Rock? Somethings off here.

>>4226555
Probably just cos they currently don't have anything SBR-related to promote right now. That and it's just Sanrio's thing to have Hello Kitty to collab with literally every property on the planet.

I can never remember Maa-chan's real name.

cute! though it does make me sad again about the production problems as this was really meant to be its moment and there's always going to be somewhat overshadowed by the delays and such.

>>4226683
Overall it's not as bad as some make it out to be (WUG was much worse) but there's no denying that the anime will be remembered for that, plus it doesn't have the same hype as other troubled productions, to sustain itself when the last episodes of the anime come out.

I agree, especially a collab with Mashumairesh. Himari and Yori in a way act similar to Howan and Himeko. And not just them, Kaori and Mari are very similar to Ruhuyu and Delim in personality and how they interact. Mari even sounds so much like Delmin that I had to check to see if they had the same seiyuu. Even a couple of the scenes from the Mashumairesh (and STARS!!) anime are similar to scenes in Sasakoi. A Sasakoi x Mashumairesh collab would have been just perfect.

>>4226786
She wants them to make up, not make out.

>>4226923
I love those parallels in both series, it makes me love both more.

>>4226942
>she didn't know that one would lead to the other
Amateur mistake.

>>4226923
There are two very big differences between Himeko and Yori, though.

>>4226713
They're sharing the same Bluetooth channel, so arguably they're on a higher level closeness by being in the same wavelength.

>>4226786
The truth is that Shiho is the one Miki loves. The incest setup was just a red herring. That's why she wanted them to be friends again, so that Shiho would start visiting their house again.

Well at least we'll have something to talk about. How will Miki's wild ride go?

>80-90% of Yokohamas were moved onto other projects, removed and left uncredited, or just quit.
>Episodes were only finished hours before airing (production assistant already posted about some being finished 3 days before).
>Episode 8 was so down the wire the subs had to be delayed.
>Staff didn't know the 2 week delay was going to happen and the subs reflect that as they show the title for episode 9 at the end instead of "Prelude".
>Leaker claims the delay happened because their last thread went viral and reached JP twitter.
>Episode 9 is mostly finished, episode 10 is still being worked on.
>Thread says episode 11 started production a few days ago but then says ep11 and 12 haven't been started yet and that none of the staff know if they'll air on TV or just be bluray releases.
>Bluray fixes for past episodes will only happen if the higher-ups think it's worth it (unlikely).

Ichijinsha needs better bargaining power so they can assure they don't get a studio and staff that causes delays. Sadly, all the "good ones" are busy and booked for other shows that are "safe bets."

>>4229322
>no episodes 11 and 12 done with storyboards and animatics like the last two episodes of Evangelion
Shame.

>>4230382
No animation studio is exempt from screwing up in every way, there is nothing safe, not even with successful or popular franchises.
