Keiichi Okabe does a lot of anime music, but Emi Evans was a surprise. e: guess it's worth mentioning that this is one of those big cross media things, with like three mangas going and a prequel LN and a vita game next year. Prequel characters  Washio Sumi Nogi Sonoko Minowa Gin see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Nov 3, 2014 |

What I wonder about is the way they've done everything they can to not talk about the state of the world. It isn't exactly normal, modern Japan. Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe they're just saving all of it for the LN or whatever. btw they showed the first five episodes in a theater or something over the weekend. You can find spoilers if you go looking for them.

After the screening the cast came out and made fun of the audience for expecting someone to die.

I wouldn't be surprised if the only shoe dropping happened in that prequel LN, which is already more in line with what people expected this show to be.

Taisha (大赦) is the shrine organization centered around the worship of Shinju-sama. The way they write it translates as something like "amnesty" or "official pardon", and it's a homophone to 大社 meaning "grand shrine". They are a very powerful part of this society. People have figured out that the anime is set in a city named Kanonji on the island of Shikoku. There isn't a suspension bridge there. Maybe they made one up. Maybe that wrecked bridge from the op is in a different city.

oh btw this exists http://yushabu.jp I was hoping it would get all messed up after the last episode like someone who doesn't know much about HTML had been playing with it but unfortunately that hasn't happened.

On the other hand, the girl in the bed had done Mankai 10 times before entering that state. Those are spoilers from the last chapter of the prequel LN, which will be out tomorrow.

It has a lot to do with recent Japanese politics too, with Abe pushing for the return of State Shinto.

Meanwhile during the second half of the show Togo was busy trying to figure out new and innovative ways to kill herself.

There actually is a LN, but instead of the anime being an advertisement for it they've instead been treating it more like a companion to the show, with the two playing off of one another as the last few chapters were timed to be released alongside the anime's run. It's been fun to follow, made some things hit much harder than they otherwise would have. Episode 8 for example.

Xelkelvos posted:I feel like the author may have intended to deal the final blow at various points in the finale, but ultimately pulled the last punch since they or their editor might have felt it be too much. I would have legit cried if Yuna never recovered. There's a Vita game coming out in February. Sounds like alternate universe stuff, Tougou is still in a wheelchair, etc. You select a character to play through the story with. Mankais will be in it. Apparently they meet a mysterious new girl who doesn't seem to be a hero but who can move during forestization.   Sonoko, Wasshi~ and their unfortunate friend who was never mentioned once in the anime also appear in it. Might just be a little bonus thing or else they're going kind of nuts with the story.  Oh, and I guess if you want the -full experience- or whatever there was a little visual novel packaged with the first BD volume. It's mostly dumb fanservice fluff but there are a few bits of background for some of the characters. Karin having a very successful brother who works in Taisha for example. There's also a cute little 4koma series floating around about the hero club's exploits (translated) and another 4koma on the prequel LN's website which in some cases actually goes into explaining the setting a bit more (largely untranslated).

Kyte posted:It felt like it needed one more ep, just so the bit with Yuuna didn't feel rushed and/or cheap, plus more time to emphasize their rehabs. If you want to really start reaching there's also the idea kicking around that everything in the second half is the afterlife, I guess, and Yuuna was just the last one to arrive as it were. After the rest died in the last fight she went on without them, as narrated by Tougou. The pressed flowers she was holding were the ones that represented each of her friends. Everyone miraculously got better because, well, it's heaven. The prayer all the way back in ep 2 referred to Shinju as "the master of the afterlife."

  btw there's some sequel? LN starting up in Dengeki G's Magazine in the issue that will be out 1/30. Not convinced it isn't just a novelization of the anime (a "sequel" to the Washio LN which ran in the same magazine) but hey it'd be cool to be wrong.  e: or maybe it's not happening because they just edited that line off of the page see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Dec 27, 2014 |
