Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Please tell me this is a bad dream. The first season was complete and utter shit as an adaptation. Voids said: I've been waiting of this. Hope they decide to kill of some of the ecchi-ness. Ahahahahahahaa not happening. |

hpulley said: The etymology of ecchi is worthy of a doctoral thesis! Really! Its usage has evolved greatly as has the usage of the first letter of the romaji of the word it comes from, hentai. Fascinating subject... The words, I mean of course... Interesting, I'll keep that in mind if I were ever work on a Doctorate of Foreign Literature at Harvard lol. I may even cite symbv as my contributor, if you don't mind :) Now, I should be off for my "research" xD After a few "clicks" my understanding is that Hentai and Ecchi are pretty different. Hentai means "pervert," but the kind that would put you in jail for sexual offender; ecchi means "sex." Western definition is actually the other way around so that is our misusage of the word. Don't go around Japan say Hentai because that word carries serious trouble. Intead, use H- like H-manga for example if you comsider buying "those stuffs." Ecchi has evolved, especially among youths, to be lessor description of sexual behaviors (groping or taking inappropriate pictures). While seemingly innocent situations such as blowing up skirts, see-through cloths or the likes we normally consider "fan-service" are not ecchi My source: http://www.darkmirage.com/2006/09/09/japanese-titbits-2-hentai-vs-ecchi/ I would ask symbv what word should be used as "fan-service" instead. |

| As much as I loved the Freezing anime, I have to say... WHY?!!! I know there is still a lot of material but the next bit of the manga is HATEFUL!! That little arc alone would make around 3 episodes of hell and screaming at the screen |
| If this sells and helps the industry, go for it. I don't have to watch it. |
| My Twitter My Tumblr - Anime Blogging on current airing season as I watch them. My deviantArt - Anime FanArts. Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks. |
| First season was just like any average ecchi and it didn't deserve a second season.I dropped the manga at chapter 117 because while reading it i felt like I was having a bad acid trip.I watched the first season and then continued with manga but that was the problem.I pretty much couldn't recognize characters later on and it was a mess anyways. |
| Freezing is one of those things that has got better over time. I actually quite like the manga right now (fairly interesting plot), despite me disliking the start of the manga. But I personally didn't like the anime at all. |

| I have this disease, once i get through first season, I just can't resist to watch the next no matter how bad it was :( |
Kvakond said: I thought sales for S1 crashed like a missile. I bet they sold a lot of boob-shaped mouse pads. Volume one sales were about 1000 higher than the final 5299 average over all six volumes, still not bad. Did the Freezing manga actually include a boob shaped mousepad? Kotoura - san volume one did, a cutnout yourself one, and a joke about Manabe - kun using it... Excessively! Very funny, they even included a joke about not wanting to deface the book. And of course Kotoura - san is Tsurupeta like the ED special song so it is even more funny. |

| Nice; if there's any ecchi anime that deserves a 2nd season; it's Freezing. Especially with the ending of S1. |
| Oh boy here we go again another waste of money |

| Lol didn't expect this to get a second season because of the sales but wow since i watched season 1 i probably watch season 2 hope they follow the manga and not make there own alternative crap |
| if Kazuya gets brutally killed, i might enjoy this |
 |
| I can't wait. I never imagined that they'll release 2nd season for this. |
| Never seen it, but I've heard the girls in this show have delicious plot. |
 |
| I am looking forward to this. |

| Why?? I barely watched 3 episodes and it was shit. Just why, Japan? .__. |
| Sweet. First DxD S2 and now this. |
symbv said: You've just made me clear up something that bugged me for years already.Ecchi is a short form of Hentai (Ecchi is "H" to signify H in Hentai). Now many western fans like to call a panty shot or sexy pose "hentai" but in Japan this is just fan service. Real hentai or ecchi means at least very suggestive situation or outright nudity that requires scenes to be censored when aired. Shows like Freezing, ToLoveRu, Maken-ki, Samurai Girls fit this definition. Not Koreha Zombie. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| well this wasn't something i expected. o.o |
 |
| Well I may sound like a pervert but I liked this Anime. though for me it was more the voice of Rana that got to me. I enjoyed her tone of voice... As for the Echii part well there is nothing that you can do about that. it is what it is and they will most likely incorporate it in the next season somehow. The past is as several have mention where the Manga took us. So no clue if the anime will follow the same route, if it does then I think that as according to others the story will be a lot more dramatic and will be a lot darker in nature. Well this may show up in late 2013 but I think more like early to mid 2014 would be a better target date. At least that is what I would expect from a series that has just been announced. Maybe I am wrong this is of course an assumption. |
 |
| given how much they fucked up that ending, i am not really looking forward to it. |
| I enjoyed Freezing. It was an enjoyable tit show that had a halfway decent plot. Better than some of the other tit shows that are out there. |
| Ok™ |
| I guess more Freezing means more Boobs and action |
