So, what social norms will Lostoroge break? I mean, the main heroine (other than Ruu) who monopolized most of the screentime in the first season, loved her brother, won the Kazukibowl, and managed to have her happy ending. Probably the happiest ending of the entire cast, honestly.

Shame about Hanayo though, I guess having an impossible to fufill love, while constantly being indirectly NTRed in Yuzuki's body is her karmic punishment for misleading and bodyjacking her in the first place. Still pitiable.

Akira seriously just needs an honest hug and lots of love, but I think she's broken for good since she went full yandere for Ulith and probably can't trust another human being ever again.

I haven't watched the movie yet. Hopefully I'll see plenty of Yuzuki.

>>148053697
It's not, it's pretty much a cherry on top of the Selector sundae. Not necessary, but it completes it. At least that's what I've heard.

>>148054064
Since in lostorage they use memories, I bet one of the characters is in love with someone else and tries to manipulate their memories into loving him/her.

>>148054064
I just want to give Akira a hug and tell her evertyhing will be alright.

Those great threads we had during the first season will never be back

>>148054472
They will if Lostorage lives up to it.

>>148054832
Spread only failed to live up to Infected because the mystery was gone, best girl (Yuzuki) had less focus. Also, they tried to explain everything via. long-winded infodumping, when keeping it subtle was probably a far better idea while focusing on character conflict and drama instead of the story.

I'd really be surprised if they didn't learn from that, especially since the theme here is memories, which opens up a substantial amount of viable character conflict/drama. The story will probably be lower-key too, though still quite dark.

Oh yes, you must mean these girls' arc. Those two episodes happened to be written by writer #3, not Okada or Nemoto. Not that it's relevant anyway as they're all gone for this new series.

So is lostorage going to be AOTS or shit?

>>148055432
It'll be one or the other. It all depends on the characters, honestly.

About 70-80% is recap.
>Should I watch it ?
Yes, it's well put together. Pacing might feel a bit fast.
>Any new scenes worth wasting 2hours of my life for?
If you want to understand Ulith and the pillar thing more then yes.

So how good really is this? I tried the first season but the first three episodes didn't really stand out to me. The last few threads are sparking my interest again. It's not one of those mediocre shows where you guys pick one thing that stands out and meme it into infinity to pretend the show is good right?

You either like it or not, that's not rocket science.

>>148068181
Did the characters get any development? Did the plot ever get interesting? Did they introduce something new to the concept? Anything like that. You guys seem pretty happy for the new one and for the most part you seem to be agreeing with each other so it's certainly not as divisive.

>>148068224
Lostorage is getting male selectors so no more /u/ shit.

>>148068224
>Did the characters get any development?
Yes.
>Did the plot ever get interesting?
Subjective. Since you only saw the first three episodes you obviously missed all the great moments. Spread pissed off some people because they didn't get their edge route they were "promised". Still makes me chuckle.
>Did they introduce something new to the concept?
What concept? If you mean girls trapped in cards then no, why would they.

>>148068298

Infected was 11/10, mostly because plot progression was swift, the drama was good, the mysteries were revealed in a fucking awesome way, and Yuzuki (best girl) had a ton of screentime.

Spread kind of was mediocre because almost all our questions were already answered from Infected and only really !Iona and Akira had any reason to fight Ruu. I feel like they've learned from this by making it a more character-driven premise with the whole memories thing, but I'm sure there'll be twists along the way.

Thinking about it, Spread's ending is substantially more depressing than at first glance.

> Everyone's physical reprecussions for losing are still around (scars, wounds, etc.), deaths of the original host body resulting in girls outright disappearing, revenge murder attempters having to live with the carnage they caused, etc.
> Everyone still lost several years of their lives, possibly making them basically an alien in their own life, and no one would believe your story so all you can do is cry when people tell you that you're 'acting strangely/not like <x>-chan'.
> All the LRIGs inhabiting their bodies have all their relationships and everything they've built toward in their new lives torn from them. (e.g. Hanayo).
> All of them have to live with massive amounts of guilt for everything that they've done.
> They all still have huge amounts of PTSD that they can't ever get the help they need for because talking about it would sound like the rantings of a deranged madman.
> Mayu is still dead and lived the more depressing life possible.
> Yuki is basically dead (her amalgamation is almost 100% Tama).
> Almost none of them are truly any closer to their dreams, and many are much further (suffered from a reversed wish, lost time).

So, Stirred when?

>>148078879
What do you supposedly get if you 'win'? How do you win?

>>148078879
Sounds kinda lame, considering 'important memories' tend to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of other memories, so the incongruity would easily be 'solved'. Unless it's like, a cascading thing where the possible inconsistencies resolve themselves by changing the details as a result of that major change (e.g. changing the person you've loved for your entire life would be a valid modification).

Otherwise, the only time when it would be relevant is if you had a raburabu confession with some guy when you were kids and you never saw him again.

>>148079150
You win because you can alter your own and others' memories. There is no exit.

>>148079108
Hey, all the girls were smiling in the end. As Midori so eloquently put it, there were people they never would've connected with and things they couldn't have learned without the Selector system. Even Akira and Piruluk made up.

I'm calling it now, if you're challenged to a d-d-duel you can't decline the challenge like you could in Selector.

I mean, the PV has the protagonist saying 'I can't quit being a Selector if I win? I don't even want to battoru. I don't want to fight! Do we really need to battle like this!?'

It feels like she can't even decline being challenged, so she has no choice but to fight with a proverbial gun pointed up against her head.

It'd be too obvious if the girl wasn't fully justified in her hatred. I mean, the whole theme seems to be 'running away from the past', given the rules and the central benefit of tweaking your own memories or others' to benefit yourself. The two central heroines probably won't fall into either camp.

How probable is it that a new Selector was part of the old system but is now in for a second time?

Where? Pic related.

I'm guessing that if you lose all your memory coins, the opponent gets to modify ALL your memores to any extent they want, or something. Expect lots of mindhacked slaves and/or mindbroken sluts slobbering all over the antagonist's dick.

I doubt >>148078879 is 100% true, I can't believe that they'd only gamble a single coin in a battoru for the entire runtime. Gambling like, everything in some cases (esp. the final battle) seems far more likely.

>>148081402
> but is now in for a second time?

Pretty much 100%. If there's a second cour, expect tons of Yuzukiservice because she was the most popular character by far from Selector.

I don't think they hate each other. Given the descriptions at least from Chinatsu. It's very obvious she currently has turmoil of emotions since she might think if Suzuko knew about her condition it would damage the internal imagine Suzuko and the figure she is proud of. So she might try to distance herself from Suzuko in order to keep her status quo in Suzuko's head. Meanwhile, from Suzuko perspective, she might think she fucked up pretty badly at some point of her life and now wants atonement.

;_;

She was adorable when she was lovestruck and she was slowly being rehabilitated into an actual upstanding person with the power of love until Ulith started actively manipulating her. Now she's a permanently broken suicidal monster with no hopes or dreams in life, and I'd be extremely surprised if she didn't show up in Lostorage, fighting so that she can erase all her terrible memories or to destroy everyone else's happiness. If anyone has a good enough reason to come back from the old cast, it'd be her.

I hope they give her the befriending she deserves. Seriously, she went through so much shit in her awful life from the very beginning, and was played with and manipulated until she finally broke forever.

I'm only saying that Chinatsu doesn't like Suzuko anymore. We'll see soon enough. I'm not trying to back out, but without any hard evidence I can't prove anything. Maybe I was the one who lost a battle and got my memories changed.

Let's see:

So, what's going to be the tragic twist this time? I mean, it's really fucking hard to beat 'if you lose, everything you ever wanted is reversed in the cruellest fashion, and if you win, everything you ever wanted is fufilled in a manner you could accomplish on your own, but you aren't the one who gets to experience it and you're forced to live out the rest of your days in a card until you manage to trick someone into winning three times and wishing for something'.

Honestly, the coup de grace is that even if the LRIGs get someone's body, they're forced to pursue dreams that they aren't even suited to, despite their will. It's literally unending hell for everyone involved. Heck, some of the veterans probably start wishing to be a LRIG forever, because, while being lonely and trapped in a dark room surrounded with untouchable warm smiles for an eternity is pretty bad, the alternative is full of solitude anyway, and your choices still don't matter - for all essential purposes, you have even less freedom and agency than when in a card. Worse, you become a stranger in someone else's life that you destroyed to get there in the first place, and no one truly knows or cares about *you*.

>>148083495
>So, what's going to be the tragic twist this time?
They weren't actually changing memories. They were changing the whole fucking reality by itself and during all the episodes during the series they foreshadowed it with thiny details about it just being memories (perception) from characters but in reality it was the whole memories from certain events including the city's people memories.

>>148083566
Something entirely different.

Fund it. That's an excellent twist and would open up some really really scary shit.

As a side-benefit, it'd give incentive for the protagonists to actively participate and try to 'rehabillitate' villains by fixing the root cause of their assholery. Otherwise, I feel like the reward is too minor for them to pursue over an entire season or two or to act as a valid incentive for them to participate past the first few episodes.

Or perhaps what happens is that when you lose your coins/memories, they become a real person, an avatar of yourself. This copy thinks it's real, and actively tries to take over your life while you're left confused as to who you even are.

There's a song on the Owari no Hoshi no Love Song album that's almost about this.

And thus this happens:
>LRIG becomes the embodiment of all your memories and this outputs a copy of yourself
>Takes over your body and retains it's own personality and think its very being is the real person owner of the memories
>The former selector gets trapped to the LRIG realm
>Since the former LRIG is now in a human body no longer remembers its former Selector
>The former selector gets banished from existence

I bet we're getting yuri, abandonment, unrequited hatsukoi, misunderstanding, suffering, NTR, dysfunctional families, tears, degeneracy, destructive relationships, childhood trauma (GALORE), redemption, independent women, and striving for change.

Goddamnit, I feel like Lostorage is going to be shit.

Selector was written by Okada and directed by the guy who directed the Steins;Gate anime.

Lostoroge meanwhile has the guy who did series comp for Nijuu Mensou and script for Cross Game doing the writing, which might be decent. However fucking Katsshi Sakurabi is the director. You know, the guy responsible for the anime that doesn't exist.

That said, he did also direct Flying Witch. I really hope I'm wrong about this.

The thing that didn't exist was over 10 years ago. He's recovered.

>>148085579
That which shall not be named aired a long time ago now. He's had years to hone his craft and learn from his mistakes.

Besides, the directing wasn't necessarily the most damning thing about that adaptation. The choice to adapt it in the manner that it was adapted was up to the production committee, in which the director only has so much sway. It's unreasonable to pin the blame for its many flaws on any one person. Hell, even Nasu must have approved what was done to that series in its adaptation.
