The flow of the story is a bit confusing, and there are a lot of names, but it was nice to see everything connected

Considering picking this up even though I already have enough on my plate this season. The concept sounds very interesting but I imagine it's one of those ensemble cast anime where things get lost in the transition from manga to anime.

>>287500026
Honestly, I don't remember ANYTHING from the first episode.

Not sure how I feel about this desu. I feel like the writing is pretty good, but at the same time I can't say I'm enjoying it that much.

Probably because it's skipping around too much, you're really not getting the opportunity to get to know a character and care about them.

>>287500026
I must be retarded because I didn't understand SHIT of what happened this episode. I know there were flashbacks, but it was too confusing to keep up about wich cute girl morphed into wich disgusting hag.

I think it's pretty easy to understand for me, I just can't remember the characters names to save my life.

This anime reminds me why "Class S" stuff have been dead for almost two decades now.

>>287503033
Look at the phone that is used in flashback sequence. It's clearly Showa.

>>287500026
is this yuri?

Is this how it is in the manga too or is the director having a laff?

The genre is not really my thing but I decided to check it out because I saw a clip from it and the animation was so good. And yeah, it looks so fucking good, this is Madhouse yeah?
Basically it's yuri academy? Count me in.

the ep was somewhat better at presenting the story - i literally couldn't understand what was going on in the corresponding manga chapter when i read it last week. now i know there were three niggas, and takehara aunt is the surviving one that's not named in the ep/chapter title

Holy shit this is peak. So much recontextualization with the characters.

>>287500261
It’s actually easier to see in the anime than in the manga, so it’s kind of the reverse. It’s not lost in translation, it’s easier to see the character connection.

>>287505103
Pretty close to the manga. It's not skipping things, it's like this in the manga

It's kino. I watch so much garbage anime sometimes I forget that every once in a while the Japanese make good shows too

I'm liking it so far, but so far I don't have much to say about it.

I liked the episode and didn't find it confusing (except for their names, I had to recheck a few times who is who), but this type of omnibus stories clearly has its limitations. I want to be learning more about characters instead of jumping between short inconsequential stories.

Gorgeous show but I really don't feel much of anything from it.

>>287508308
"Aesthetic" Yuri >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Class S(lop)
There is a reason why the genre is very fucking dead. As in, ACTUALLY dead, not when /a/ says "Mecha is dead" and they mean they don't like recent ones. Class S is basically extinct.

The constant PoV swapping and time jumps don't do anything but hurt the show, I think. I don't think there's much gained from this sort of presentation style and it feels like there's a decent bit lost.

You don't really need to use your brain to understand this, it's bad either way.

>>287508142
I do but there's not much to talk about for now since the first two episodes been mostly episodic. Let it build up some momentum first.

The way this episode tied into the first one was great, good stuff

Eh, I found it rather unconvincing. I am fine with that bitch now being a teacher who everyone's afraid of, but the now old lady supporting Kinue's decision to go to Awajima is too weak of a connection.

>>287512762
Nta but it's a realistic connection. The granny/aunt is just a spectator of two different people from two different generations going to the same school. I can see that happen in real life.

>>287513051
I'm not saying it's unrealistic, I just feel like it's too weak to tie the flashback into the current timeline.

Depressed hag sex

>>287513076
not really

Good episode

>>287512762
>>287513076
It is a tenuous link, but I think that's the whole point. The story is about the school itself, told from many different perspectives. The narrator from the beginning of this episode is only really there to bridge two different time periods. Also, we now know the teacher's backstory, which might end up being a point of conflict with another student who has relatives that knew her from their time at the school together. I'm sure she doesn't want people to know about how she once (allegedly) drove a classmate of hers to suicide. That's pretty fucking bad optics for a teacher. It could also amount to nothing - I think it's a realistic ending to the story that the bully managed to dodge the repercussions of her actions but ended up mellowing out and reflecting on herself later in life. I'd like to get her perspective in the present.

The latter was written by Onoda, not by Emi. He probably wanted some solace since this is the only chance he'll get to do it.

It's not, and I don't think you fully understand what Class S mean if you think moeshit is that.

What a heartbreaking episode. I'm really glad I picked this up. Kinue is the cutest.
