| To those complaining about fanservice scenes, then I seriously doubt you even watched ef-memo. If you did, then how the hell did you manage to forget the events of the Miyako/Hirono/Kei bed scene and Chihiro/Renji on the school roof? Sheesh don't forget that this is an adaptation of an eroge game with a heavy emphasis on romance development. |

| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| OMGGGG, why didn't anyone tell me the second season for this came out!?!?!?! ahem, putting aside my massively late arrival and over excitement, this seems like season 2 is going to reveal more about the past. Intriguing considering that the first season hinted at Himura's past drama. In any case, what people seem to be referring to as 'fanservice" I believe is a little full blown. That scene was not presented in any way distasteful, so I see it as more or less, art. ONWARD! To episode 2! |
 |
| i cant believe he said "i like to do it raw....with out a condom". i so did not expect anything like that. |
| That part with Yuuko paddling by the sea was gorgeous. And come on guys, if you're complaining that that was too much fanservice you obviously haven't seen an episode of Rosario + Vampire. Then you're allowed to complain about too much fanservice. |

| it was ok. Loved the art specially the background. I hope that this will be as good as its predecessor. |
| A masterpiece, just like the first season! And the Theme this time around is... Melodies, unlike the previous Theme which was Memories. Kuze seems to have some illment... And Himura's past seems very interesting. So far, I'm liking this! ALL of it! ^^ Although I like Euphoric Field better than the new theme! xD |

| this is one on my favorites |
 |
| I m loving it already, and am so glad that they sticked with what worked in the first EF. (Music, art etc.) |
| i like it raw, no condoms...... (classic) lmao |
 |
| I was hesitating for a bit, wondering if melodies would really disappoint me, after watching memories. But now I've finally watched the first episode, I can probably say that is not the case. The artwork and music was still beautiful and it seems some nice drama is coming on our way~ |
| A very enjoyable first episode the sequel does not disappoint even though I don't get to e the couple from last season as the focus point seeing young Himura and the explanation behind the mysterious girl is good enough for me =D |
| The art and the music is as beautiful is ever, however I don't feel the same vibe I did with memories. Well I'll give it some time, I hope it won't disappoint |
| So, according to some of these posters, any kind of nudity is fanservice? That's somewhat retarded thinking. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Wait what, I just watched the episode and don't even remember any fan service. What the hell. |
 |
| A good begining! I have high expectations. |
 |
This was really good..the art and the music is like expected in memories except it looks better.....like here=> Yuuko is great and so Mizuki here=> |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| art styes re a bit trippier than they were last season i've noticed. |
  |
 |
| Nice 1st ep hopefully the 2nd season is better than the 1st season to me. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Hmm, So this is more like a prequel to "ef- a tale of memories" I see I see I welcome the fanservice, since its an eroge adaptation. |
| Not a bad first episode, it seems like I wanted it to be that we'll be seeing more story around that mysterious girl and the other "older" characters from the first season, still quite nice but didn't fully feel like the first season! |
 |
| I watched the first episode on 28th May 2011 so I decided to watch quite a bit of the first episode again as well as download a new 10-bit release. Amazing animation quality, shaft way of displaying stuff (such as the heart problem) and that guy talking about sex. That was awkward. I really missed this show so I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Ahh I'm so glad that there is still more to this story and that it has to do with the older characters!! Memories did a good job in showing them enough so that we know they have intricate pasts'. Kuze and Himura are fantastic male leads as well. There is already a darker tone in this part so I'm excited for it though I hope they keep the great romance from memories too! |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| first episode.. kind of boring I guess.. I see this series is about yuu and kuze :3 hmm.. :3 I wonder who is that girl called yuuko? :3 and new character called nagi wohoo.. :3 |
| Finally picked up the second season it wasnt to bad but it was great season 1 episode 1 was better to me but now we have a whole new set of couples well none of them really new but new as could be couples so yeah I hope this ends good as well |
 |
| Great first episode c: |

| "I like it raw too... without a condom" Kuze - representing Pedobear since 2008! |
| Text in German wtf Random opening at 9:30 lol. Lmao - Kuze's joke. Just a SoL episode but the last scene was confusing. I guess it will pick up from here on just like a Tale of Memories. Kuze as a main character - cool. |

I feel the same thing, but this was not as strong as the first episode from ef memories. |
 |
| This season is going to be interesting |
 |
| The characters in this series in contrast with the previous series, in which the main character a supporting role, and vice versa. In the story of this back and forth, I just found out that his place was in the Australian setting and Mizuki is a cousin of Renji. Women's hats began to emerge. There is a mystery whether behind it all? *going to watch next episode* |
[/URL]
| Watched A Tale of Memories with a friend almost a full year ago and started this series but only got 3 eps in before stopping for reasons still unknown. And you know what? I enjoyed this even more now than I can remember enjoying it then. I feel a deeper appreciation for what this is doing than I did as an anime scrub. This was beautiful. o_o |

| Better then the first season so far. |

mflatischler said: about the desk: I think it just says "Art Room (Bijutsushitsu) Hirono," Japanese (and many other ethnicities I suppose) write their name and their department on their belongings. ps. Had to read through all the flames going on in this thread to make sure no one pointed this out already but it was worth the lol anyway back to this ep Not really a big fan of mizuki/kuze pair, more interested in himura/yuuko and maybe nagi (damn shes got a fine body) Himura seems like a badass MC when he was younger, i have high hopes for this Kuze received the hnnng attack at the end, hope hes alright |
  |
| This was really nice. The art seems even better than in "memories". |
 |
| I am curious about Yuu's past. So this season is about Mizuki, I have a feeling it's not going to be good like the 1st one, but I will finish it! |
 |
| The backstory with with Yu and Yuuko looks promising. I'm not sure how I feel about Nagi yet. I was surprised that they were able to put in so much fanservice without it feeling like it was ecchi/overly distracting; it was somewhat reminiscent of Spice & Wolf's beginning in that sense. Hm, so Mizuki from last season was Renji's cousin? That's slightly surprising; it's interesting how many connections Renji and Hirono share despite not knowing one another. I'm not sure I care for the idea of a relationship between her and Kuze given Kuze's character, but we'll see. so_addictive said: Now that I've said that doubt i'll be coming back to this series discussion unless something epic worthy of typing up happens... i don't think i've ever eye rolled/eye twitched/ face palmed as much as i did while reading the last 5 pages of discussion... ridiculous... Yeah, I don't think I'll make myself write a lot this season unless something sufficiently noteworthy happens. The story seems more straightforward than last season's (for now), and most of the comments here have been pretty bleh-- there were even spoilers on the first page. :/ |
rreggiebryant1 said: i like it raw, no condoms...... (classic) lmao Ok, i thought i saw that wrong xD, so he really said that Anyways , after 5 years i'm finally watching this sequel...a bit afraid because i can still remember the first part...and i remember it was weird and a bit bland. The good OST seems to carry on in this too... Decent episode, 4/5...i'm curious enough to see how this unfolds :) |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| It was okay. I dont understand everyone praise towards this episode. "ever" and "read", "E" and "R". I wonder what words will come out this time. 3.1/5 |
 |
| Ahh Ef is probably one of the most Shafty things Shaft has ever done. The flashbacks are interesting. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Fanservice....9.5/10 So now we are going to learn why Himura is such a drag. |
