Didn't really like it compared to season 1. As expected with change in animation studio to Feel. I mean seriously, the character design makes them look so baked. And the eyebrows...

Also the humor was pretty dull, no where near as funny as it previously was. Honestly, I couldn't even manage a laugh.

Took the words right out my mouth.

I haven't read the novel's but this episode didn't seem rushed to me. The art is different but I didn't think it was horrible like everyone else is saying.

Anyway, great first episode. So happy to have this show back <3


Fans should be happy they got S2.
This

though i think some people need to get their eyes checked and go back and watch S1 if they think the animation looks worst sure the char designs from S1 were unique and different so it sucks the new company couldn't adapt that but saying it's out right bad is kinda stupid.

hate to see how people are gonna react to the change in Nagato Yuki lol.

This was one thing that I don't expected...many viewers saying that like the character design of season 1...when S1 was in air, had various complaints about the art and character design, although would thought that design of 8man was original...Interesting what the nostalgia can do.

I can't say how much I'm annoyed by the new character designs, they look so much like that of SAO's. First season's were great, these ones are rather dull. For starters, it was okay I guess.

And this, I fucking hate this.

Exact. Few weeks ago I re-watch S1, and although I have liked, the animation and inconsistency in character design was horrible in comparison with others slice of life (still that improve in the last episodes).

^ No kidding, lol. This level of nitpicking is so ridiculous it's almost hilarious. Heck, If I had any worry regarding the new art style, it'd be that Hiki's character design in S1 might've been more fitting given his personality but that fall's into some serious nitpicking territory that I've no desire to set foot on.

Well, the character designs are not exactly god-awful like others have said. I'm okay with the animation itself, and the only character's design who I truly detest right now is that of 8-man.

I'd assume that if Studio Feel did SEASON ONE we wouldn't be complaining as much about this (Or at all), but it's good to see a passionate bunch I guess? That'd also assume we'd follow the same adaption material the entire way through of SEASON ONE as well.

On a positive note, the Totsuka X 8man is still real and in full force (AND I LOVE IT). I would extremely satisfied if the series ended with them hooking up, although I know that's not going to happen :|

Hmm, and here we go again with those overcomplicated relationships. I'm not sure here that fujoshi is good for starting new season but well.
And again Yui like Hiki but Hiki likes Yukino and is oblivious to Yui (I kinda favor her because she at least tries to show some effort and interest in him). Yukino may like Hiki but they are both afraid of doing anything to the point of current stalemate and Hiki think of them both as friends at least because he is the opposite of overconfident.

The first episode was nice to include trip to the Kyoto but it could have been done a lot better as this was kinda boring in a way.

One has to ask himself again - what the heck they are trying to accomplish with this series?

This was art of season 1...and although the character design of Hachiman be original, still was weird and ugly...and I don't remember in the LN someone to say that he is ugly, just...normal. I remember only of some characters speaking bad about your dead/fish eyes and weird smiles. So much that Yui in some volume forward (9 or 10), praises his appearance when he use glasses. And comparing between the character designs of LN, S1 and S2, S2 and LN are the more similars (still that Yui seems Misaka and Hikigaya remembers Accelerator).

While animation, is very difficult to have indecisions. Oregairu S1's animation was simply one of the weakest animation of Brain's Base. Much frames were reused in very scenes (watch episode 12 in concert), wrongs anatomics, and character design many times irregular. While Feel's animation not is excellent, but good.

But many times, to like art or animation is a personal choice, then all our opinions are right. Simple.

; )
I was lazy to rewatch S1 only to pick some bad animation examples, but there we go. Oregairu S1 is quite poorly animated compared especially to Brain's Base standard (although the design is distinct, color pallete is nice and everything else is good). In the end, everyone should be glad that S2 is even exists. I hope in future episodes we could discuss the actual episode next time.

Btw, I love S2 OP so much already. This time it explores a wide range of Yanagi Nagi's accent and range, with continuity from first OP and especially great verse music. Well done!

I think you are oversimplying (and overly assuming) the relationship of the main trio here. Hikki and Yukino may get closer in S1 (more like accepting, graduating from a mere two stranger forced in one club) but romance (if there will be any) is still far ahead.

For the last question, just wait for later episodes.

Honestly, I prefer the new art style and the new animation. While I love Hikki's signature dead fish eyes he had in Season 1 I felt like they over exaggerated it sometimes. Oh yeah, and this art style makes Hikki look more like he does in the Light Novel. And in there it's not that Hikki's ugly just that his eyes look dead to most and people find him creepy because of his demeanor. Anyways, I still prefer the Season 1 since it looked more dead than the ones we saw in this episode which look sleepy ish like someone said earlier on.

Wait, what.
Are people really saying the art design of the 1st season is better than this....seriously?

One thing is "I don't like this art, the 1st one was better"(because I got used to it)
Other thing is "This art design is garbage, even Lucky Star has it better".

What most of you people are saying is the 1st thing, the current art design is levels ahead of the previous one but because you guys can't accept changes, that happens.

Actually people shouldn't even bother about the art animation that much, this is a slice of life anime, it doesn't need any perfect or unusual/special animation.

About the OST, I actually liked the idea of keeping some of the OSTs from the 1st season it gives that feeling of a connection, I mean it's literally the same series only with a different studio, so why not?

Hikigaya and his tsukkomi monologues were just as great as ever! Too bad, his eyes and hairstyle aren't the same anymore. Yui and Yukino are still good looking though, despite the change of Studios.

Tobe probably won't end up with Hina after all. She's too much of a fujoshi to fall in love with a guy. Well, not rooting for him anyways.

Saika was too adorable in the train! Anyone would want to protect that smile. :3

Seems like Yukino's Kuudere personality from S1 kinda changed a bit. Still pretty cute when she was being self-conscious about being seen with Hikki together. :3

Zaimokuza and Komachi next episode. Can't wait to see the chuunibyou and cute sister again!

Decent start, but I have a bad feeling that Studio Feel will mess this up. Hopefully, I'll be proved wrong.

A little bit of give and take with the studio change.

+ Almost all character designs improved or stayed the same, except for Hachiman (boo!) and Yukinoshita
+ Storyboard development seems less choppy, can't feel 'rush' as much, even if they're going in the same pace

+/- Animation improved (not important though)

- Background art and statics lower quality
- Colour pallette less vibrant, and edges are fuzzy/ blurry
- Music still sucks

Overall, I put it about the same as season 1 in terms of overall feel. GET IT?? 'FEEL'???

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Excellent episode, began recalling the previous season and already demonstrating the great soundtrack that is present in this season, quite liked the opening and ending

Even reading the LN and knowing what would happen, I was very excited about the episode, I like the rapid development of the anime, and at the same time without losing the sentimentality of the plot

Also quite liked the new characters designs, mainly Hachiman, he has begun with a good relationship with Yui and Yukino, this episode had a good dose of humor, but I believe that from the next episode the drama will be much more intense, so as this season

I'm very looking forward to continue watching, but the premiere for me was excellent, it is a bet for one of the best of the season, certainly worth seeing it ..

Hachiman must have had a horrible middle school life.

Lets see:

- He had the misunderstanding where he thought those two chicks were talking to him about the weather, and then he went home screaming xD

- The whole exchanging phone numbers / texting thing.

- The dancing where the chick didn't mind dancing with him as long as they never touch each other.

- In this episode, where he confessed and all the chicks were starting bad rumors about him.

Am I missing one?

NO! THAT IS NOT WHY THIS EPISODE WAS BAD! They took all the charms that the first season had out and replaced with utter dullness. Hachiman's line was delivered poorly-- hell everyone's lines were delivered so half-assedly it makes me cry. They're forcing certain things like Hachiman x Saika, Ebina's yaoi fantasies, and Hachiman's cynicism it which kills its charms! Much like Ayase's yandere in Ore no Imouto wa Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai! S2. It was terrible! Make it more natural :( Please :( RABABABABABA

The main point about the character designs is that these new designs look more generic (mainly Hiki - compared to season 1)
Even from episode 1 of this new season, there are scenes where he loses his trademark "dead fish eyes"
and he just looks like a typical anime male then...
The animation is noticeably better compared to season 1, but yeah, I hope they are more
consistent with Hiki's "dead fish eyes" later on.

I don't mind the change in character design, but does the animation quality drop a bit? I watched the BD version of S1 so I don't know about the TV version. Imo S1's video looks more clear.

AH, we're on the part of the series that I read a while ago after season 1. They skipped a lot of details if I remember (like most of the ramen shop scene), but I'm really excited because hopefully it'll get past the point I read up to.



Also, I'm totally cool with the art change. The more realistic feel seems to go with the more realistic tone to me.

Yeah. If pay a little of attention, the walk between 8man and Yukinon had more fluency in moves that in much scenes of S1. And if I not mistaken, the one thing that was very cutted is ramen scene. And the expressions of 8man do in some scenes to say much about what is happening, and will be discussed in the next episodes.

Ya this was not a strong start but a good episode. The art...I'm on the fence. As of now prefer Brain's Base but this had it's moments and I'm sure I'll catch on quick.

As of the choice of fansubs...it's battle of who sucks the least again. Wish I knew the language.
