[Spoilers] Awajima Hyakkei - Episode 2 Discussion

604

This anime is a real treat for the eyes, it looks so gorgeous...

That dancing little girl was really well animated too. It was so cute to see her prancing around in the foreground while the "camera" was focused on the parents talking in the background <3

I love the story too. They do a great job making us care about new characters again, with another beautiful and dramatic story. Got a few chills when that beautiful music starts playing during the hospital and the bus scenes that concluded it...
And the way it looped back to the 1st episode was great too. Ecchan was actually the theatre-loving aunt we heard about last week! :-D

They even managed to throw a short epilogue for that lead bully who apparently became nicer with the years.

Really well done so far.

I really wasn't into episode 1 but I for sure would say episode 2 has hooked me in a bit more with the story of its new characters shown

The art style is awesome, I will keep watching it for now. That Awajima school does not feel like the best place to study though.

  Yeah, like I said in episode thread, it feels like a nest of vipers.
  But Wakana and her friends seem to be pretty chill so maybe we've mostly been shown the ugliest side so far.

Spent a hot minute pretty lost until the plot eventually got hooked back to the characters from episode 1, I'm pretty slow making connections today I guess.

The show looks great, and the story knows what it's doing, but I'm kinda struggling to keep tabs of everything, and we are just at episode 2. I should try watching it a bit earlier, maybe with a few more braincells running

  Yeah, it all connected eventually, but I'm sitting here thinking shows like this aren't the easiest watch when I'm foolishly trying to balance 25 other seasonals.

  I'm not as loaded but yeah, that certainly isn't helping my case either lol

  me too fam, I was lost as hell for the majority of ep 2. Hopefully future eps will go better now that we know the storytelling style

oh that was one ep that hit right in the gut. the conclusion of emi's story and the two girls close to her was sad. (i wish i could say something about ibuki, but i really have no fondness for people who bully others). it was really nice how the past generation's situation tied in with the current one.
