@SUNTEARS I think they meant yuri shipping xD

@kuuderu If they do adapt the ending of the second season fatefully we will let again be left with many open questions and relationship possibilities. For me the most growth the main characters received happened in the 3rd novel, and for some of the secondary characters in the side-stories in volume 4. I only hope--- more like pray that KyoAni doesn't do the same mistake as Hyouka, aka. to not animate the last novel >.>

@SUNTEARS

There is much more to the story than few ambiguous moments between characters.
I simply don't care about those yuri baits, since it's not the reason I enjoy the show.
In case of Tamako Love Story this was a main theme, yes, it's a pure romance movie
so it would be really strange if it ended with nothing in this regard, like in Hibike S1.
As for Hibike S2.. I don't mind any ending as long as it's not too predictable.

I hope KyoAni won't ruin everything by making any of shippers satisfied...

Actually each volume will include shorts, for a total of 7 released from December 21st 2016 till June 21st 2017 with each Blu-Ray.

@Shokko this season will adapt the second novel, excluding the side-stories from volume 4. All 7 shorts will be anime original gag episodes. Same as with 1st season.


@shanimebib I think we'll need a 3rd season for the relationships to start forming in deeper level.

Kumiko x Shuuichi for life :3


Oh really? I hoped it to adapt the till the 3rd novel ... have you read the novels?


One season is not enough for two volumes I think. But yeah, I also wanted them to adapt 3rd novel for more growth of kumiko and some side characters .

"Fireworks Festival Kiss"
Will KyoAni actually do it? I so hope they do... :3
Kumiko x Reina !!

The title interests me....Either way, I'll still watch this.

Oct 8, 2016 7:53 AM by jc9622

So who? Goto-senpai and her girlfriend (sorry I forgot her name)? If it's Kumiko x Reina, the yuri bait will still bait us, the first episode made it more real than the supposed to be "real relationship". If they do a curve ball then they will insert Shuuichi in the scene like he's a damn bulldozer, fans will be angry for sure since I think his existence is not that strong to almost non-existent.

Huu... This is music for my ears, I can't wait for...>.<!!!


Hmm... Well, I do hope very for 3rd season soon, because for me could this story endlessly go...xD!!!

What did she mean by this?

Oh yeah Kumiko x Reina kiss~

Yeah, right... It won't happen...

I will leave it to everyone to make any sense out of the screencaps taken from the festival part in episode 1 inside the spoiler below. Don't worry, they are just unedited screencaps.



If you can make any sense out of it, I bet it won't come any good.

Let's just hope it covers the OP of OP couple below:

Yeah, stop the baiting and make it happen already lmao.


With Shuuichi not Rei
Alternate episode when kumiko doing to festival with Shuuichi instead with rei

KyoAni don't have ball to make gay anime


Oh, where did you learn about it? I heard a different thing in reddit about a different couple(and that's yuri one lmao). I don't think making it with shuichi will make any sense now after his role getting so much diminished in anime.

Fyuu, I thought that the length of the anime was already announced, I wonder to what point the adaptation will reach.

Good news, looking forward to it.
