This looks incredibly cool. I have no idea what it's about and had never heard of it, but I kinda wanna watch it now. Good job OP (meant in both ways)

It's the best show of 2016, and probably 2017

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.

You know it's not based on the manga? There's an on-going novel series with 7 volumes out. They have their own illustrator, making the original designs.

Not to say they made that justice either.

Oh! Well then, the manga's the prime as far as I know. Nails the "terrifying monster that should not exist" faces, reactions, everything.

And is the novel in WW1? Because the anime definitely is, manga's more WW2 at a tech level and happenings. Then again, WW1 interest from Battlefield 1 being a hit seller in Japan.

e: novel illustrations look fine. The anime is what it is. How..

I haven't read it myself, so I don't really know, but the wikipedia page describes the world setting as similar to Europe in a mix of WW1 and WW2.

First episode of Fuuka is ok, but romance was never my thing. Good music, at least.

the main thing about fuuka that would give me pause is the big chapter 37 twist. so I'd think it would take most of a single cour run just to drop that in your lap and then there's so much less time to deal with the fallout. but my only experience with the story is from hearsay so who knows.

Fuuka is the sequel to kimi no iru machi, right? So if you liked that, same thing.

From what I've heard. I hate kimi with a passion, so I'll never read or watch fuuka.

is it the one where she gets quickly replaced by a similar character? I might've heard of it a few years back then.

Said 1924, which is like six years after WWI like it never ended. There better be tanks though, unless magical girl bullets have obsoleted them...

I'm kinda okay with Evil Madoka (yes, it's Aoi Yuuki) so far. It'll go at least three episodes for me.

The map has the Germany Analog with Czechoslovakian, and Austrian land though. It's more like a theoretical Großdeutschland in WW1.

Huh, although I've heard of Town Where You Live, and even read a few chapters iirc somehow I missed (or forgot about) Fuuka.

Forest Fairy Five was so boring I couldn't finish the first episode

Schoolgirl Strikers was also pretty boring for an action show and also had some stupid outfits.

I liked Tanya though.

They're related somehow, I know that.

I also know that I've tried multiple of his works and I just don't like 'em, except his that first oneshot that eventually got a short seires.

"Gee, I wonder what the twist for Fuuka is people are talking about, better go look it up." A few minutes later... :psyduck:

But yes, the female lead is the daughter of the two main characters from Suzuka. She apparently makes a small appearance in Kimi no Iru Machi as well, which may be why someone was thinking of that. And if it does end up being only a single cour, that twist sure is in an awkward spot, because it's right around where single cour shows tend to cut off.


edit: I actually read Suzuka years ago, but never touched this one. Not sure yet if I'll watch it, but I hadn't previously realized the connection. And yeah, Kouji Seo's works certainly do tend to have some, hmm, "interesting" directions they go.

And I think he's now somehow resurrected the original Fuuka? Or introduced some sort of Fuuka 1.0 clone?

Each time I hear about Fuuka it sounds even more ridiculous than it did before. And not in a good way.

Though I'm not sure what else I was expecting from Seo Kouji.

It deserves that praise. Seriously. Euph S2, Flip Flappers, and/or Mob may be more to your tastes depending on what your tastes are, but it's absolutely a top-tier 2016 show.

There's no way I'm watching this as it airs this season, I have too much to watch as is. I'd watch it once it's all out. Maybe I'll just wait until s2 is done.

Random Voting Results Spoiler: Rakugo has the highest average score, as in, people who watched it and put it in their top 5 typically rated it very highly, like #1 or #2. This may show that the show is very polarizing, or very e/n: either you absolutely love it or are very meh about it. But it is a small sample size!

So the spoilers here (because I am a bad person) sparked my interest in Fuuka, since I like ridiculous.

Seems really good from the first two episodes. Drags you in, makes you care about them, shows their concerns and worries in, if not a subtle way, much more subtle than a lot of shows.

Not sure where it's going to go from here, since they didn't leave too many main-plot loose ends hanging for episodes 3 and beyond (Oh, they're going to start a light music club. Great...) but I'll tune in.
