How was it possible to fuck up a sequel so badly? what was Bones thinking?

Yin is only good for beating and raping.

>>152270458
I liked Suou.

>>152270601
I liked sword lesbian

>>152270458
Bones always does that with season 2s and endings

>>152270622
are they allergic to money?

>>152270458
I though S2 was great. I think too many people just wanted S1 - part 2. The change in packing/storytelling was too much for people to get over.

>>152271083
>I think too many people just wanted S1 - part 2
Because that's what S2s are about. A series that keeps reinventing itself is doomed to fail.
It cannot maintain the original audience who came for a particular promise, and it cannot attract a new audience because the original series does not look interesting to them.

>>152271083
The ending shat all over Suou.

>>152270011
Isn't the 10 year anniversary coming up? Season 3 fucking when?

WHY WAS SEASON 2 SO SHIT

WHY

WHYYYYYYYYYYY

What's this about season 2
there's no such thing silly anons

>>152271160
Well, yeah. Her entire life was just a mini test run to see if Shion and blonde lady's plan would work.

>>152271158
But that storytelling method wouldn't have worked after S1. They were on the run, no longer working for an organization, no longer having a reason to get involved with random people for neat little two-episode chase-the-McGuffin-and-move-on stories.

>>152271318
not enough loli abuse and domestic violence

>>152271345
>But that storytelling method wouldn't have worked after S1.
Not everything needs an S2.

I don't think S2 is a bad anime. But it is a bad second season.

Should I just watch S1 and leave it at that?

>>152271717
If you enjoy S1 as much as I did you'll probably give in and watch S2 for more Hei. At least watch the four episodes of the OVA.

>>152270011
I KNOW I CAN KILL

>>152271345
>But that storytelling method wouldn't have worked after S1.
We could just get cute stuff like the beginning of OVAs.

>>152270011
I KNOW I CAN not finish this overrated anime

>>152271994
I know you can kill yourself

>>152271994
You will never get to the truth.

>>152270011
I really hope we get a season 3 someday. It's been 7 years since Gemini ended
>>152271318
It was a fun ride until the finale

>>152272036
>>152272058
Season 1 was just acceptable but was really tiring with its all-over-the-place plot.And of course season 2 doesn't exist, so
Half the show doesn't exist, and the other half ain't that good.
4/10

>>152272119
What was wrong with the ending, other than dead Yin?

>>152272154
Suou's story started getting shaky when the truth about her was revealed. The scene with her asking Hei to call her by name was great, but then everything that followed was utterly retarded.

>>152272154
>dead Yin
Fuck. Good thing I trusted anons and didn't watch it.

>>152272154
Everything of note happened off screen, so any emotional weight that were supposed to have fell flat. Also

>flying car
>weird syndicate costume at the end
>Golgo 13

>>152272058
You mean the truth just beyond the Gate?

>>152272357
Yeah, that one.

>>152272320
She's not actually dead, but she's barely in the season.

>>152272346
Well yeah, all the wheeling and dealing happened off screen so that the reveal would have some sort of impact. If you had known the plan at the beginning of the story then there wouldn't be a point in watching. S1 had much the same mystery about it and people loved that.

Nah, it was fucking disappointing from the beginning. Lots of scenes could be great if they made them the other way, instead it was a total fucking disappointment from start to the end.

I can compare it with KLK, they share the same awful directing. While DTB season 1 and TTGL had it just right.

>>152273145

It's been years, but yes. Cute murderous soccer girl was cute. I think she murdered the coach, I don't remember

>>152273145
There's a non-canon fujo bait one and an official one that's between S1 and the OVAs. The official one was really good. Featured a girl kicking a dude in the nuts so hard that he exploded into a blood fountain. Also had a pretty cruel execution scene for a returning S1 character.

The only fight they didn't show was pervert vs lesbian jedi. What "important" scene didn't get shown? I'm not recalling.

>>152273145
I loved how they explained Hei's life in the military and how he did to survive despite not being a cotractor. It was all thanks to Ember.

She was truly best girl ;_;

>>152274487
Yes, definitely

>>152273892
The deal made between Yin and Shion or Yin and Hei, can't remember. But there was some agreement that pretty much resolved the story to create the new Earth, and gets mentioned after it happens.

S2 wasn't that bad. The scene where Hei reappears on the truck and kills that foreign-looking contractor tops pretty much any moment from S1. Everything past that point was good.

>>152275793
>foreign
Was there even a single japanese contractor in the entire series? I can't really think of one.

>>152271083
I thought season 2 was fine as well, it's just that it wasn't the exact same thing as season 1, so people who expected that hate it.

>>152275840
Plenty. Fire girl, water mom, lesbian chick, golem guy, just off the top of my head. They never stated Hei or his sister's nationality, but they could be Japanese as well. I know he used both Chinese and Korean pseudonyms as a civilian and his team all had Chinese codenames, but that doesn't really mean he's not Japanese.

>>152276243
Nah, most probably his parents were expat originally from China/Kong Kong.
Hei grew up in South America.

Stererotype of him always in the kitchen, chopping cabbage fits more for a Chink.

>>152274487
If that happens, between this and Code Geass, /a/ will explode.

>>152276230
I wasn't expecting hobo Hei to be a secondary character in the Mahou Suou show.

>>152276243
He calls his sister Bai at times when it wouldn't be necessary if it weren't her real name.

>>152276859
Fuck off.

>>152276243
you're mostly right, but Hei was implied to be Chinese iirc.

ao no exorcist got a sequel after 6 or so years, so maybe it's finally time for this? and what do ppl who say there was nothing wrong with the ending mean...from what i remember some crazy god awoke and started killing everyone, how is that an ending at all? didn't even make any sense.

You're not all wrong - a lot of people bitch when a story evolves a bit - but S2 really let me down with the ending. Literally fucking nothing was explained, so it was a bunch of stupid fucking build-up leading to pretty much nothing. Extreme let-down.

And he *still* didn't get Yin back like what the fuck was even the point ARGARHGGHFF

>>152272936

The cutest slav was pretty good, yes. She kept me watching S2 even though it didn't have November 11 in it.

Same. I think the impact was lessened because I more or less knew what to expect going into it.

Not to mention that S2's opening and ending were absolutely amazing, and the portrayal of the Vladivostok-area ended up being extremely comfy, even if in real life the city is probably a gray shitshow.
