Another season with incomprehensible plot |
 |
| Another great sequel to look forward to in 2017 |

WhiteFlamee said: Fai said: The common theory is that the director herself decided to split over the script writer change. They would not fire a director of the show that sold this much. Alas now there's a big chance I won't even touch this second season as it is bound to suck. ur jumping to conclusions. bones isnt stupid to let their biggest title in a while to go down the drain. bones isnt in a postion to be cocky since the company isnt doing well financially. Well considering they chose one of the most inept directors in the industry and one of worst possible writers with no experience I'd say it is very likely for this to turn out bad. The only logical non-cocky-bones explanation I can see is that Rie split late due to some decision Bones did and they just found random replacement available or something. It really does not make sense to take off the HUGE part of why Kekkai Sensen was even good. Also yes Bones is not stupid. Neither is MAPPA, yet Garo Crimson Moon still happened. |

It would be safe if they follow the manga You can follow manga and still have show look and feel like ass. Kekkai Sensen was VERY liberal with following the source but that did not in anyway change it's quality. Director is HUGE part of the production quality. Its the person w ho makes everything flow together and who eventually is responsible for how the show flows and how the show looks. |

| Heard a lot of the first season was based on original material and characters, will be interesting to see how S2 progresses. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I liked the first season a lot, so i'll definitely give it a try despite the staff changes! |
| >not directed by rie matusmoto She was 95% of the reason Kekkai Sensen was any fucking good in the first place. The other 5% was the music. With her gone I completely doubt the new season will be anywhere near as good. I hope she's going off to direct something else. She's a fantastic director. |

I'm all for a new director but this new one seems just as bad. This series is cursed I guess. Though I hope at least the OST will be done by the same guy, it was absolutely fantastic. |

Kekkai Sensen was only a clusterfuck mess if you turned it on, muted it and left your house. If you actually watched the show everything would have made perfect sense aside from a few scenes where you had to think for less then a minute to understand them. Matsumoto's got fantastic talent in making things with a great story along with fantastic and vibrant visuals. With her gone Kekkai Sensen will not feel like Kekkai Sensen at all anymore. I guess it will make money though because the VA's aren't changing. |

I havent paid much attention to kekkai sensens directing. it was a show i watch casually.

Music was like 10 times that amount for me. It really added to the experience and the cast were interesting. The music was certainly good but Matsumoto's directing style would spurt like a fountain if you cut this show. With her gone, the show is not going to be the same as it was before in any way. |

>The director of the second season will be Shigehito Takayanagi (Dagashi Kashi) while Yasuko Kamo (Tokyo ESP) will be in charge of the script.  Rie Matusmoto was one of the main reason why the series was so great and successful in the first place. |
| They better not do anything to the soundtrack |
| First season was ok but I'm still not too excited about this. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Well I hope the soundtrack and animation are great like the first season |

And part of what makes it really funny is the fact that it's rarely happen.tr1ckst3r said: I think this is just a.matter of some cocky production comittee thinking that "It's a success not because the director" and just decide to change it for whatever reason they have. It would be hillaruous if this become a flop exactly because the director change, that would teach them a pretty good life lesson. Well... except for few examples in the anime industry I mean, some series did that and ya know what? it can go on. If you mean staff members, I dunno... most of them would either continue to do the same thing or just proves that they aren't a mistake or something. Hey at least it's not Katsuhiko Takayama at least (aka Mr. Trainwreck of all Trainwrecks and I dislike him at most, except for Ef: Tales of Memories and Ange Vierge, which Vierge was average but it was probably better off that way) |

RainyRai said: Rie is also Kekkai Sensei sound director.>not directed by rie matusmoto She was 95% of the reason Kekkai Sensen was any fucking good in the first place. The other 5% was the music. With her gone I completely doubt the new season will be anywhere near as good. I hope she's going off to direct something else. She's a fantastic director. Means she also responsible in choosing and decide what kind of music to use in the series and she did perfect by choosing jazz. So with Rie gone from this, Kekkai Sensen practically lose most of things that makes me fall in live with it in the first place. |
|
| Likely none of the style the first season provided due to the change in director, but I still hope this is good. (I haven't heard any fans of the anime say the manga isn't very good so at least there's that) Then again, the only thing I've seen from this new guy is Dagashi Kashi, and from what I remember from that, I don't think he'd be a very good choice to direct a show as crazy as Kekkai Sensen. (DK was very very slowly-paced; Dude never really did much stylistic choices either from what I recall) He's directed one action show before, but the best I hear from it (Tokyo ESP) is that its mediocre at best. Not a good sign, but I hope the dude fairs better this time around. |
| Hopefully rhe new director can do justice to the series. I loved the 1st season so much and regardless of how this one turns out, I'm still pretty hyped for it. Never forget Nej and burgers </3 |

Robiiii said: thepath said: Bad news. THe 1st season was so overrated and boring This is just hilarious How exactly is a bit over 7.70 "overrated"? Its not a high score nor its a low one, but DEFINITELY not overrated. Stop using buzzwords for no reason Even 6 it too high for this garbage Maxsundew said: Well I hope the soundtrack and animation are great like the first season I rather have Berserk qaulity, but with good story, fights, chracters than good animation with with confusing boring story, and shitty characters |
| Maybe the 2nd season will actually make sense this time, but I still enjoyed the fuck out of the last season though so I hope this isn't a trainwreck |
| Sup... |
| I can't believe they replaced Matsumoto. Now i just hope it will still be as energetic as the first season. Lowkey hoping they keep the ED coz that was legendary. |
| not really happy with the change of director I admit...But I'm still super happy this got a second season ! I really love those characters and their dynamic together ! |
 |
| Well I'll go crawl back into my corner since I'm the only one who enjoyed Dagashi Kashi. Everybody seems to be dreading it already, and while at first glance I'm inclined to agree, it could turn out to be a positive in the end. The first season was so much anime original, and Dagashi Kashi was also super anime original...perhaps that anime originality will also carry over into Kekkai Sensen season 2 and kind of continue the story in the same way but with more direct manga elements. Hell, I just want White back and I'll be satisfied. In case nobody notice lol <-------------------------------- |
| Omg, never expected a 2nd Season, loved that anime! |
| The first series was a confusing mess tbh, wont be watching season 2. |
| Heh? A lot of people complaining because they didn't comprehend what happened in season? Don't blame the adaptation/manga, blame yourselves for not being able to understand it. Edit: I found some "walk through" for those who didn't understand the first season. https://www.reddit.com/r/KekkaiSensen/comments/3m0pxm/frequently_asked_questions/ |

elior1 said: Fai said: i disagree with you about the world god only knows. it was enjoyable show and not assDagashi Kashi was awful directing-wise. It was okay for "short comedy skits" nonsense but the show was still stale as hell. He also worked on The World God Only Knows which also looked like an ass. And Tokyo ESP which, guessed it, looked like complete ass. He worked on few Trigun episodes, but that is literally themost positive thing he has on his resume. THe rest is absolute ass. Its hard to think of another director this bad that quick. Itagaki? Tsutomu Misuzhima(when he tries to be serious)? MIura? I am really drawing blank at worse possibilities beyond that. The new writer is also no better. The only way this could be worse is if this was written by Mari Okada. Matsumoto Rie on other hand was complete goddess of directing. Her work is huge reason why Kekkai Sensen was such a masterpiece as it had truly creative cinematography, interesting and unique transition sequences and great choreography. And it all gelled just well with perfect soundtrack. Being an enjoyable show does not change the fact how it looked. TWGOK was between "decent" and "meh" IN SPITE of poor production values and bad directing. |
|
| Great news. Looking forward to this! |
 |
| My first reaction was YAAS! but now that I've read about the director change I'm disappointed. Might be still worth for the quirky character cast though, they made the first season for me. Btw is there any information if Bones is doing this again? If no, I hope it won't be a low-budget studio. If yes, I'll be happy about Bones doing sequels these days! They used to forget about their stuff back then.... |
 |
| I hope they explore the characters more in this one. |

| Banzaiiii I watched the first season last week so this is good. Bones, now get working on that Noragami S3 and Mob S2 |
