That's, uh, really vague.

EDIT: I mean, wading into a discussion with 'SOME OF YOU ARE WRONG' is kinda unhelpful.

It's really vague because "eww, something I read about the novels is disgusting" is also, uh, really vague.

Here's my best guess as to what is "disgusting" (hint, it's actually common, even here in the West).

People are upset because Reina has a crush on Taki in the novels. Does he reciprocate? No. He had a wife that died 5 years ago who went to North Uji when she was in high school when they went to Nationals years ago due to Taki's father's teachings. The school didn't win gold during her time, so she wanted them to win gold at Nationals at least once. This inspired Taki, once he finally got the chance (the previous mentor is on leave due to having a baby), to go to North Uji and lead them to Nationals.

Wow, that sounds so disgusting it deserves a reaction like "Also if some of the book spoilers I've read are true I'm drat glad they changed it because ugh."

Also, everyone on the internet is so upset because "Kumiko confesses to Shuichi." Nope. In the very last short in the 4th volume, a collection of shorts, Shuichi confesses to her on pg 266, which is a short from his POV. Kumiko leans in and suddenly acknowledges that she likes him too on pg 268, the one page image that's going around. Given literally everything else in all three novels prior where we're given Kumiko's POV, there's nothing that hints that she has any feelings for him more than friendship outside one vague line in the epilogue for novel 3 that can be explained by a misunderstanding (Asuka walked in before Shuichi could confess in v3 when he gave her a hair decoration she wore in the epilogue). Given the back cover text, it's likely Takeda was pushed to write that as an editiorial decision more than her own desire.

I mean the "student has crush on teacher" part that I assume is the part people were up in arms about apparently. Idk how you figured I was talking about Saphire.

In the first spoilers that cropped up, "student has crush on teacher" was "student ends up in a relationship with teacher", and that is what people were up in arms about.

Student ending up in a relationship with a teacher would have been an interesting turn but idk what show people were watching and saw the first 6 episodes and could think that that was the direction they would be taking.

I assumed something got exaggerated somewhere along the line, and that sounds about right.

Alright, thanks for that. That's actually reassuring because it seems quite reasonable to change towards an anime-original ending.

This person is very mad about KyoAni's plot changes.

The rage on MAL is also hilarious.

quote:

Always before watching each anime, especially those who have a female MC, and several meminas, i researching on various websites, read various summary, LN and extra materials. to see if contains yuri, or relationship between same sex, if have such I ignore the anime, and do not start watching.
