RIP Fuutarou's alluring blue eyes. Now he looks like he's always possessed or something.

And so we are back with new season, new studio, new character designs but sadly, with less thiccness than expected. Anyways, I'm glad to see Miku and Ichika again since honestly speaking, those two were the only enjoyable aspect I found in the previous season. Assertive Miku on a couch is a force to be acknowledged, by the way. Damn...

As for the episode, first half was rather interesting to watch since we could see more of Fuutarou's past when he was the chadest kid alive and see more of that eventful encounter with one of the sisters. Second half, sadly, wasn't really that entertaining since it only featured the usual boring harem shenanigans.

Anyone know how many and which chapters did the episode adapt?
Im pretty sure it stays with 12 eps,
s1 covered 33 chapters, s2 starts with chapter 34-35 i think, pretty much they will cover 30 chapters again sadly its still to far to the conclusion, the manga has 190 chapters i dont think they will adapt it until the last chapter (i hope it will tho) if not maybe an original anime ending.

Overall a very nice adaption of the manga in this first episode. Not a lot happened...mostly just Fuutarou in the hospital and then interrogating the quints about the quizzes...and the partial flashback of course. I'm still not sure how I feel about these new character designs. On the one hand, the faces/eyes look better I think. But where are the thighs??? In all seriousness though, the fact that I keep thinking about the changes every time I see them is distracting, which is a downside if nothing else. Hopefully I get used to it as we go along.

New OP is pretty nice too. ED is meh, but so was the first season's. I'm stoked for this season. If we're starting 7 Goodbyes next episodes then that'll be a bit of a slog to get through (not my favorite arc, tho it obviously is important for characters' development), but I just want good quints anime.
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.

The first episode was okay. But not good enough to compliment it. I feel like I've watched Visual Novel rather than anime series.

Didn't really mind the change in artstyle. Loved seeing the quints back and definitely loved that OP. Pretty entertaining so far even though most of the episode was just your usual harem stuff lol.

The art is so much better than the first season.
Is this second season following the manga correctly? It feels like childhood girl it's gonna be revealed pretty soon.

Yotsuba still best girl.

Well, we are off to a great start. I liked the Season 1 opening better but the quality of Season 2 is far better.

Futaro still can't tell the difference between the girls xD

A quick comment on the Op: Takeda makes a cameo, so that puts it going past the Scrambled Eggs arc, to probably #76. I hope they don't rush or skip too much.....

Was skeptical about the new art style but i guess it wasnt that bad. Next episode is apparently the start of the seven goodbyes arc so im kind scared that a few chapters will the skipped, hopefully not though since i actually quite enjoyed those chapters

Even though I've read the manga through to completion, I always found it dumb that Futarou couldn't tell the difference between the quints in spite of them each having unique mannerisms and styles of dress. It's like...dude you're smart as hell and you pay attention to details so thoroughly but this you leave out? Anyway...this season's art style is absolutely garbage. It feels like I'm looking at a rough draft animation that's pushed as the final product. Nice to see the same studio that did Azur Lane still has not improved at all. Aside from that, it's fun seeing the interactions back. time for another set of harem wars.
Don't believe the hype.

The art style seems flat and simple, but I guess it will grow on me. Pacing has a good flow.

Very disappointed that they are skipping Yotsuba's date to jump into the seven goodbyes arc. I'm afraid they are going to condense the next four arcs into the next 11 eps. I think they are setting things up so that the remaining 48 chapters sre going into a possible season three. Way too rushed, IMO.

Where are these thicc thighs from the first season?


Anyway, it was a good episode with retrospective scenes. I still think that girl was Itsuki and she's gonna win this waifu war. Plus, she even had the same lucky charm.

I thought I'd get PTSD from watching this because of the ending of the manga, but I was pleasantly surprised to find myself smiling throughout the whole episode.

This is season is gonna cover some amazing content so I'm very much looking forward to it!

Great episode, I just finished the first season like 2 days ago and I loved it so much that I binged the manga so, everything is still kind of fresh to me. The art style is great I don't think it's a big change at all from season 1, just a little and it's more colorful and vibrant. I think I honestly like it more.

The OP is great too, just as good as the first season. Though I am worried about the pacing, I'll still enjoy it. I hope the rumors of an anime original ending is not true, at least for this season because 12 episodes is not enough to cover everything in the manga. Really looking forward to the next episode.

He came back with some small changes in the designs, but they are felt. Continues with the same proposal focusing on character development, the interrelationship between them, and the novel, especially with whom the protagonist will decide to stay.

It was a good episode, but expected more, maybe it was a break in the pace that was at the end of the first season. However it is still a first episode of a second season, and so it satisfied me enough to have great expectations about the others.

This anime makes me confused, I had a favorite girl, but now I have favorites and I don't even know who they are anymore. It will be does an with harem original end take place?

5 Idiots is back. There's nothing special about this series but it's easy to watch and it’s not the worst show out there either.

The Dad's voice is too deep. He looks younger in manga tho, so I found it unsuitable.

The animation was pretty lackluster compared to the first season but I'm sure we'll get used to it. They made everyone skinnier somehow too. And what was up with the dad's voice?! Completely different to what I expected.

Anyway, as someone who read the manga I hope (not really a spoiler but just in case)

I'm glad the series is finally back and that I finally got the time to watch the first episode. I still believe that Itsuki is the main girl but if she isn't I would be super happy. The quins are all likeable although I prefer Miku over others...onto next ep!

I wasn't really worried regarding the animation style as I kind of like Bibury but it still took several minutes to adjust to this style. And the opening style... You definitely see it's their Opening when they're the studio just like Azurlane and Grisaia. Really like the style.

I guess it's a good start of the season, not too fast and not too slow. Time to shine (well, or fail with those grades!). Let's see if the next episode will have some more progression.

The eps 1 really did a great job foreshadowing that the girl from 5 years ago was Itsuki, but if you think carefully again, when the girl from 5 years ago said she wants to be a figure for everyone (i think what she means everyone is her twins) it's basically foreshadowing about Yotsuba's wishes, also even though i haven't read the manga i made somewhat a guess based on the first eps, when the girl from 5 years ago said "as a fellow loner" what came to my mind was that because of the desire of wanting to be a figure for everyone Yotsuba changed from a total loner to a cheerful girl we know now.

I'm sorry if i made a mistake, like i said before i haven't read the manga yet, please correct me if something is wrong

Wow I'm coming to second season with low expectations because you know studio changes. (Usually things going bad)
I feel it was probably as same as the quality of Season 1 Studio maybe it can be better...
I can't point it out what but i really love the new Artstyle, it just make our girls more cuter...

So i see, this is how they gonna did to us the rest of this season...
Teasing who exactly is the girl that Uesugi meet 5 years ago.

It's so funny how Uesugi guess all of their name wrong after the girls make their hair looks similar, come on how dumb are you.. it's funny how Uesugi smart at school but sucks at recognize the girls. Lmao

Ah yeah OP and ED song was good as well

Miku still Best Girl....
