inspired by but legally distinct from CATS (2019)

Actually the strangest thing about this new chapter is that the cat must be anime original? I could've sworn he showed up in earlier chapters but maybe not.

Muzuku is the best part of the show. Every time he's on screen, I'm like, "hey it's Muzuku."

I have no idea, but looking at older chapters, I don't see the cat. It might either be anime original or the first season development coincided with the publishing of the chapters at that time.

As a note, Hazuki doesn't show up until the end of the second volume during the release party of Fairies Story 3 so all of the scenes with her in the first season are largely original.

I don't think the new character has a fanservice design so much as she was just in a particularly thirsty chapter. I'm sure she'll fit in fine once she makes her regular debut.
Hopefully so, but considering your av you might just be desensitized. :v:

Are they gay or european

Feels like we've backed down on the more serious character work a notch or two, but it's still there and still good. And it's certainly hard for me to complain about the show spending more time on fluff when the fluff is consistently as good as New Game's is.

I... I can only look though the window...
"Hey, let's have an underwater section, and let’s make it a forced stealth section as well because you can't attack! Won't that be thrilling? :downs:"

I was surprised there wasn't an audible groan in the background from every gamer on the planet when they came up with that idea.

Since we don't know anything about the game besides the plot and the costume mechanics, it's hard to say how out of place it is. There's definitely a strong stealth element to the game at base. Additionally, it's not forced duo much as it is much more difficult to not go stealth.

I dunno, after Good poo poo like Hifumi trying to fight her social anxiety and Aoba working through her feelings of wanting to surpass her mentor while valuing her as a friend I welcome some fun fluff too. It does help that New Game does fluff very well though, yea.

Show continues to excel, really like how this ep expanded on a bit I thought was pretty rushed in the manga. S2's really comfortably exceeding my expectations so far, and my expectations were pretty high.

I bet we meet the new chars next ep.

Kou's was better as a first release sort of key visual. Aoba's is better as part of a storyboard for a trailer since it shows off a lot more.

Yeah, I liked Aoba's better all on its own but once I saw Kou's as a magazine cover I could see why they chose it, it makes a really, really good cover image.

Aoba is a stronger person than I am, I know that I'd be moping around for weeks.

gently caress publishers. :argh:

One of the low-key best elements of this little plotline is how much Kou really obviously hates having to be one of Aoba's competitors and how much she'd really rather just mentor her and help her grow. It's a really great spin on the usual sort of professional rivalry plotline.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

This reminded me a lot of the trumpet solo competition in Sound Euphonium, but with added layers of dimensionality.

Good job, show.

Nene Quest Level 2 begins!

"No one's ever had high hopes for me before!" Awww Nenechhi

Glad the publisher lady got more time this week, although it came at the expense of maybe leaving Momo/Naru's intro a little thin. We're almost caught up to the fan translations, so I'm excited to see how things go from here.
