Pompoko Kamen will make S3 happen.
You beat my thread by 6 seconds.
Shikoku is a nice place.
>>158932777
You can't beat pompoko kamen!
Was waiting for this animator to draw Yasaburo and Kaisei for weeks. Thought she'd end with Nidaime and Benten but this is so cute.
>>158933399
The red string/fur of fate is a really cute concept. I hope Yasaburo gets some adorable scene with Kaisei in the final episode, maybe a re-engagement.
i'll see you in 2024 threads for S3 guys
>>158933899
>2024
>tfw it's probably the soonest we can expect something
>>158934869
well it seems morimi has already started working on a third novel so the wait may be shorter than 8 years
will they reveal the identity of pompoko kamen this episode?
5 mins
get in here niggas
>>158935100
he looks vaguely like Souichirou
>>158935100
It's obviously Soun.
slut
ravioli ravioli i wanna smell the cunny of the brown loli

HAHAHAHA

oh shit he came to propose to Kaisei

Where were you when Kaisei win the tanukib owl?
>>158936184
Tanukixtanuki is how it should be.
>>158936059
I knew that they were going to reorder the events. Personally, I thought it made more sense to resolve Benten's storyline before putting Yasaburo and Kaisei together.
I think another episode would have been better for the pacing though considering what we missed (according to the novelfags)
It's over
>>158936530
Why am I so sad
>>158936184
Waiting for downloads. Fuck.
What happened to Soun? Don't tell me he got away again.
>>158936626
Dragged by oni to hell
>>158935761
Did Nidaime died?
>>158935693
how the mighty have fallen
>>158935730
benten got JUSTed?
Legitimately AOTS.
Where is the episode?
>Grandma:Kaisei-chan, are you two married?
>Kaisei:We're not
>Grandma:Really? But I can see you wrapped around in red fur
>Yasaburo:Well we'll get married eventually. She's my fiancee afterall.
What an amazing final episode. This show ended in the best possible way.

Wasn't season 3 basically guaranteed?
We'll see when the third book comes out.
>>158938838
Tippy from gochiusa
>>158939130
>book 3 will end with yasaburo and kaisei's marriage just like yaichiro and gyokuran in book 2
Fund this shit
>>158935730
BTFO
>>158938890
funding Uchouten Kazoku amounts to 90% of Kyoto's annual budget, don't worry
Whatever direction Morimi decides to go for S3/Book 3, he needs to finally dive deeper with Benten. There's still so much to her that can be mined. There's also that subplot with her brother that needs to get resolved.
Now that we know Niidaime's backstory Morimi could also integrate him more into however he decides to end the trilogy. Just for the love of christ don't bring back Soun or even Tenmaya for the matter
>>158939292
was there more info about her brother in the novel?
That screech. Any request for webms or stitches?
>>158938890
Aslong as Kyoto exist, it'll happen. The problem is when the third book will be release.
>>158939292
>don't bring back Soun or even Tenmaya for the matter
Can they even come back now that the hell painting was destroyed along with the trains?
>>158935999
>>158936012
>>158936038
>>158936059
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE
>>158939292
I think we're safe from Soun and Tenmaya now. I imagine the big villain in the next book will be Jyuroujin.
>yasaburou just crushed the tram into nidaime's mansion like a madman
i love that guy
>>158939418
Fool's blood best blood.
I loved how Yaichirou finally embraced his fool's blood and became awesome.
Feels good bentenfags literally dead along with her
>from shounen battle to autistic catfight to soft caressing to instant hair removal
tengu are weird
>>158939344
That was painful to look at.
>>158939744
>implying
This is great material for her. It's even juicier in the book because it ends on that scene in her bedroom, which makes you think next book wil have more Benten development.
>>158939789
Unusual mating habits.
>>158939930
Just normal Tengu foreplay.
>>158939344
>>158939467
>>158939789
I thought tengu are supposed to be elegent and studd
so did tanuki hail professor as a true hero Pompoko Kamen and send him gifts now?
>>158939331
Nothing. In fact, the possibility that they're related was introduced by the anime when they decided to give him that design.
Will the novels ever get translated?
I want to fuck Kaisei
>>158940240
I think you already know the answer to that.
>>158940240
I doubt it. Morimi's writing style is too esoteric for anyone to just pick up easily.
>>158939789
I wonder where they'll go with those two in the third book. Akadama gave them both the same advice too.
>>158940240
It'll be faster to learn Japanese.
>>158940240
Just learn Japanese already.
>>158940132
>replying to the newfag attention whore
Dumb.
YES
E
S
>>158940383
What advice was that?
>>158939860
But what would they do? Have her marry Soun? Isn't that a bad relationship right there?
>>158940464
To get stronger. He gave that same advice to Benten after Nidaime shot her down during the airship festival.
>>158940577
Fuck off you retarded shitposter. Stop shtiting up the thread.

FUCK
>>158939344
How did she not die from that?
While I thought S1 was stronger overall, holy hell that final episode. What a fucking journey.
>>158940764
Stop replying to yourself, Tripshit.
BASED NAIDAME
>ywn have a grandmother this fluffy
>>158940920
stay fuwafuwa
I'm lost.
Why Benten eat blue stone, it gave her more power or what?
Was that Benten in backstory of Nidaime or some other girl?
What was the meaning behind X?
>>158940802
This episode is fantastic. I can't remember the last time I felt so strongly about anime
>>158940975
Wait till season 3, anon.
All will be answered.
>>158940802
I'm the opposite, I enjoyed S2 way more.
It was worth the wait. Great anime. The wait for season 3 is going to take so long. I might as well learn Japanese so I can read the book when it comes.
>>158940920
>>158939752
Stay fluff grandma
>>158935999
my fucking heart
Fucking amazing, I'll miss it.
>>158940882
Benten ishot!
>>158940975
That can't be Benten, it was years back so she couldn't have been born yet.
>>158940975
the gem was a gift from soun, she gave him a closure basically
The cutest couple.
>>158939789
Note to Anon: if you ever get to this exact moment, shove your tongue in their mouth and perform rape right then and there.
>>158941107
it's the same clocktower from the flashback girl, what does it mean
Greatest anime of all time, see you in 2025
Did I miss something with Nidaime? His whole deal was him being upset he couldn't be with a human woman and then fucked off and was a manchild for a while? And we're only told this in 2 minutes in the last episode? How the fuck was I supposed to feel anything for that. The first half of the episode might as well not have happened.
I enjoyed the usual tanuki antics but in hind-side the season was really weak. The whole Soun plot was meh and did nothing but suck up more time that should've been given to things that needed it like Nidaime or Yasaburou and Kaisei's relationship.
The only thing I really liked from this season was Yaichiro and Gyokuran.
Could the ending have been any better? It's going to be extremely difficult for anything else to top this as my anime of the year. Every aspect of it was pure quality.
It is shows like this that highlight how plebeian this board is as a whole. There are 3 or 4 active threads about dragon ball all week long, several threads for titanshit, that oreimo knockoff and even granblue, while this got so little attention. Barely anyone names it among their favorites of the season, and when I bring it up in general threads it rarely gets any replies because no one's interested. So many threads trashing the whole anime season from people who only watch shit, it really gets frustrating sometimes.
>these faces
>that animation
>that music
>that everything
The only thing this fight was missing them shouting each others names.
>>158941299
>hind-side
Hind sight anon.
>>158940975
She drank from the stone. A goodbye for Soun essentially.
Nidaime and Akadama-sensei had their fight long long ago. Long before Benten.
The meaning of X isn't explicit but basically she annulled the relationship
>>158941238
She's Bentens mom, calling it now.
>>158935999
>>158936059
Really glad they added this scene after all. Great way to end the season too.
It looks weird when they fuck up the line width.
>>158941318
>muh my taste is so much better than everyone elses because I watch only the most patrician of anime
Get your head out of your ass.
>>158940920
I will always remember fluffy grandma's sage words.
>>158941373
Whoops
Also
>Benten's hair
>Nidaime's fancy house with all the stuff he liked
Was this supposed to represent their pride going up in flames?
Gyokuran is a true ride or die bitch.
That was a fun ride. Thank you anons.
I'm going to miss feeling this warm and cozy inside.
>>158935730
Is it me or they had a very intimate moment just before this?
>>158941471
Always remember this anon.
>>158941520
They are going to hate fuck like no other.
>>158941318
I know right? I don't even look down at people who watch those shows but damn, I wish I had more people to talk about this show. This may be one of my favorite anime ever
>>158941520
You mean the part he set fire to her hair.
I thought so too, until he set fire to her hair.
>>158940882
I'm so used to disappointment that I never seriously considered an end of the season where Benten didn't win. Watching her not only lose, but getting rekt even harder than the first time was so satisfying.
The anime did an amazing job in making me want to visit Kyoto.
>>158941469
What are you doing here? Those Freeza x Raditz fanfics are not going to read themselves.
I'm not satisfied with Nidaime's ending.
>>158941520
>what beautiful hair she has
>what a shame I have to burn it
>>158940737
What was that for? Displaying her power?
>>158941588
That's because they didn't show a billion chinese tourists.
>>158941648
>character development
shame, long hair benten was cute
I hope S3 is better.
We'll get an S3 right?
>>158940737
>rock creates water
>eat rock
>never go thirsty again
Benten is a genius!
You told me Benten would get her revenge.
>>158941714
That bad?
Tanuki craft:
1. Breed
2. Be fluffy
>>158941811
I think spring is just an unfortunate time. It's still an amazing place.
>>158941851
How fluffy is too fluffy? Does such a thing even exist?
>>158941716
you call that character development? she's a mess, staying in bed and accepting pity from the ahoulord
Nidaime's too savage for his own good and his father urges him to be even more savage, what the fuck is wrong with those tengu
>>158941923
No such thing.
>>158941851
>ywn never breed
>ywn be fluffy
>Nidaime calls them all idiots
>proceeds to burn down his own house
>>158942007
Like a true tengu. Now he just need to make the dirty tanukis rebuild his house.
I get that everything is just
>magic
and stuff but how exactly does the Nidaime control fire? I get that Tengus can control wind since that's like their thing, but they can also just do whatever the fuck else they want?
>>158941965
Anon is talking about CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, not character development.
Akadama was telling Nidaime to make himself emotionally stronger, not physically. He angsted for probably decades because his waifu fucked off.
If S3 doesn't end with Benten taking a rock hard dump on Nidaime's face from 30,000 feet I'll be a little upset.
what does X mean
Stay fluffy anons
>>158942227
failure
>>158942140
You're only NOW questioning the logic of this show when Benten can literally pick up the moon out of the sky or Jyorujin has a train that leads to an inter-dimensional hotspring plus a painting that acts as a portal to hell?
I really want Benten to find hapiness in the third book/S3.
>>158942211
Nidaime wrecked himself enough this ep and it looks like he's reached his catharsis. I doubt we'll see more conflict between the two of them, or at least it'll be very in the background.
>>158938558
Thanks for the wallpaper!
>>158940975
>>158942227
Watch the first episode again and look at Benten's letters to Akadama. It's supposed to draw a parallel between Benten and Nidaime's lady, though it's unknown if she's Benten's great grandma or what.
>>158942211
I don't want this I want this
>>158942304
>>158942304
That part with Yasaburou going across the lake was aesthetic as fuck.
>>158942304
Benten totally deserved it in my opinion.
That will teach her not to be a bitch
>>158942211
While he won the fight, she made him burn his own house and tore his clothes down so it certainly wasn't a satisfying win for him this time.
I didn't really get why he stayed stuck under the tanukis, though. Is it the car crash that depressed him or what?
>>158942338
Maybe that's why he kidnapped Benten in the first place.
>ywn be the Kyoto tourist board employee who raised the idea of contacting PA Works about Morimi's books
God damnit, this was such a good season. I love this show.
Why was Nidaime in the dumps when the bus crashed into his house? He just laid down some Tengu justice to Soun.
>>158935730
DroppedI hate Kaisei
So the house was of his lover or he was a english gentlemanfag?
>>158940975
>Why Benten eat blue stone, it gave her more power or what?
It provided endless water, so I figure it was protection from Nidaime's fire. Didn't seem to work though.
>>158942403
>>158942444
He got involved even though at first he was trying to stay out of any kind of trouble and look how it turned out for him.
>>158935730
this is your brain on tanuki hotpots
>>158935730
I thought Nidaime was going to kiss her at first, then I realized he just wanted to completely humiliate her.
I don't want it to end
So what has to happen in S3?
Benten's has to find out about her brother that's working with the professor.
Yajirou has to get with the brown loli.
Nidaime has to grow up and be a tengu already.
Maybe some old character dies? Juroujin or Akadama?
Yashirou has to become strong enough to bully Ginkaku/Kinkaku.
Soun and Tenmaya have to stay in hell.
>>158942670
Yasaburou has to overcome his transformation block
Yaichirou has to breed
>>158941485
I think the point the author was trying to make here is that you need to be nice chill guy like Yasaburou and have fun while you can, instead of being power freak autist like Benten/Nidaime/Soun/etc because your autism will bite you back eventually.
>>158942670
You forgot about the cutest couple finally marrying.
>>158932777
When is this fad of ruining drawings with chromatic aberration filters going to end? Fuck.
>>158942670
Yasaburo and Kaisei marriage.
And I want to see these two have little tanuki babies running around.
>>158942743
Yaichiro and Gyokuran just got married this ep silly.
I want to dig holes with the autism girl.
>>158942670
I wonder if the Friday Club will disband. Their end-of-the-year party has been fucked twice in a row and if the third book goes over another year, that may make that three. Especially with Pompoko Kamen around, fighting against their evil deeds.
>>158936184
Missing the 2nd season completely
I didn't even think she would win thebowl; it's a nice surprise. A year ago pixiv niggers shipped her with the frog. They must be all on suicide watch right now
>>158942854
>Pompoko Kamen
Speaking of, they better reveal his identity in the third book.
>>158942670
Third book is supposed to be about the new generation of tengu. Akadama has to step down and I wonder how that is pulled off.
>>158942304
Anyone care to dump the full set of these now that the series is over? I only saved this one.
So is Benten going to become a river goddess after eating that water rock?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaiten
>>158942743
Frogs can't get married.
>>158942908
Then let's look back and remember how good the season was.
>>158942304
Maybe she'll reconnect with her human family and finally feel like she belongs somewhere.
The extended OP was nice.
>>158943013
>>158943084
>>158942854
>Pompoko Kamen around, fighting against their evil deeds.
spinoff when?
>>158943013
Thanks, mate. Let's fuckin' do that.
Deep wisdom.
>>158943137
>>158943198
Benten x Nidaime hatesex must be as intense as an atomic bomb.
So, what exactly happened to Soun? How did he fake his own death?
>>158943258
By not dying.
I'm not ready to say goodbye to the greatest anime of our generation.
Stay fuwafuwa, my friends.
The booze labor is amazingly useful.
>>158943258
By being the evilest
We did it Kaiseibros!
>>158943256
>>158943257
More like kids fighting in a sandbox.
>>158942649
It's finished already.
>>158943258
Turns out that toy bullets actually didn't kill him just like they didn't kill Yasaburo and Kaisei.
>>158943357
>>158943420
>>158943420
Soun never wanted to be touched even though the tanuki society is big on physical contact
>>158943382
I thought that the only toy gun was the fake one Tenmaya gave to Ebisugawa and that Nidaime's gun is real.
I just chalked his death up to Tenmaya shenanigans
>>158943491
>>158943257
>she fell for it
I actually feel sorry for her now. In retrospective it looks like she was hitting on Nidaime because she thought that maybe they'd make a good couple, but in reality they are so equally autistic elite wannabes they can't even tolerate each other.
>>158943554
>pipe glint scene
>>158943554
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
>>158943382
He was bleeding before Yasaburo, we saw his eyes go dead, then his daughter went to say goodbye and must have taken his body with her. The next episode began with the funeral and Soun already playing the part of his son. No one in his family was part of the plan either.
>>158943382
Yasaburo only pretended to be shot. Kaisei got shot by a sleeping dart, that's why she was deep asleep when they were rescued. Tenmaya didn't want to capture Soun to cook him, he wanted to kill an oni.
>>158943258
Maybe they explain it in the book, but I Tenmaya helped, he surely knew he was alive looking at how they kept contact with each other.
Why did Benten swallow the dragon stone? What was the point of that? I thought she was going to use water powers or some shit with it to counter Nidaime's fire but nope. So what was the point? Also did Nidaime get upset and cry because he lashed out and acted like the very thing he hated?
tfw no one noticed Jyurojin fucking off quietly to become the villain of S3.
>>158939186
I tip my hat to you.
>>158942473
>I hate Kaisei
How could anyone have such dreadful taste?
will Kumeta start working on Kakushigoto again now that the show he'd drawn designs for has had nice plot again
>>158942649
It's just beginning for them.
Nobody commenting on pic related?
wait so they just try to kill each other and that's it? everything is okay after that fight?
>>158943897
endure
in enduring grow strong
What happend with Jyorujin in the end?
Everyone forgot about him.
>>158943897
When a man is crying it means he had to. Nothing to comment here.
>>158943955
He fucked off when he saw shit was out of control like any not fool would do.
>Benten has ice powers
>Nidaime has fire powers
Pottery.
>>158940183
Yeah. They deliberately showed a bunch of tanuki perk up in the scene where he said they'd have to shoot him first before they could get to the tanuki. Pretty cute.
>>158943996
Isn't he supposed to be strong as hell though?
Since even Benten respects him.
>>158943860
While I'm far from hating her, I find the character a bit boring. She's got this typical tsundere relationship with Yasaburo that I'm not really into.
But she has her cute moments too.
>>158943955
Everyone was too busy with the Tengu fight.
Frogbro can finally keep his human form in front of mom.
>>158944103
he's probably on meds and brown loli's pussy juice
AHO NO CHI DAKARA
Looks like Yasaburo story is finally finished. I guess the third novel will be the last one and will be about Benten.
>>158944060
We don't know how strong he is, just that he has some weird magic. Regardless of that, he still has no reason to put himself on the middle of a tengu war zone.
>>158943897
He's still our guy.
>Benten getting BTFO every single episode this season
What a great season
>>158944162
I suppose so, but he was ashamed and had his bus destroyed by a mere tanuki, so I don't see him just being ok with that.
>>158944103
I would also be able to do whatever if I found out my father prepared a cute loli for me to marry.
Now that Yajiro has a waifu, when will Yashiro get one?
>>158943602
>she stopped in response to nidaime's gentle touch
wow you're right, she's pretty sad, especially with the last scene asking yasaburou to pity her more
>>158943554
The end of this episode was so great, I almost felt let down by the next episode but that's what I would have expected to happen anyways.
>>158943897
I hope that mean he;s ready to reconcile with Sensei. Would be nice to see Sensei try to meditate things between Nidaime and Benten.
>>158944473
What if akadama kidnapped benten for his son
>>158932777
>we will never see this goddess loli again
>>158943897
He got tired of all the bullshit and had a freak out which made him out to be the very thing he despised so much and it made him emotional. He doesn't want to be a Tengu but acts like one anyways in the end. Both him and Benten are seriously fucked up psychologically and it makes me wonder what the real story behind them is.
>>158944473
He will make his own waifu with the power of science.
>>158944569
I was thinking that too.
>>158935730
I'M ON FIREEEE
>>158943897
I thought that was cute. He's just a manchild after all.
YOU ARE TOTEMO OMOSHIROI, YASABURU!
>>158935826
3RD STRIKE
OUT!!
>>158944584
don't forget he lost all the mementos from the journey that was supposed to separate him from the tengu matters
when yasaburou visits Nidaime in his temporary apartment later, he hesitates for the first time before denying his tengu heritage as usual
>>158944584
I think it is like this, Benten and Nidaime met on London and probably dated for a bit, Nidaime of course soon understood she was the same as his previous love (probably even related as a grandaughter), and what's more, related to his father as well, which is what made them hate each other.
The rest is history as you see.
>>158942304
She literally cannot find happiness because fate won't let her. The boy she feels closest to is fated to marry another, the man she desires most can't accept her, and worst of all she plays to the Japanese cultural archetype of The Other Woman.
>>158944584
>He got tired of all the bullshit and had a freak out which made him out to be the very thing he despised so much and it made him emotional.

They are shounenshit characters in a seinen manga.
Not even trolling, think about it.
They have the power of the gods combined with the emotional maturity of a pre-adolescent.
>>158941107
>>158941238
she's clearly benten related or something
maybe Akadama kidnapped her to due to the same reasons he fought nidaime
but in the end he himself ended up trapped by benten. What is destiny indeed
>>158943897

I was a bit annoyed about the fact that he was still alive but him getting sent to Hell made up for it. That was great.

>>158945233
Are you ready for him to escape from hell in S3 and be the villain again?
I'm just so glad that years ago when S1 first was going on and despite many /a/nons calling this show "pretentious", I still gave it a 3-episode try.

Last ep felt a bit rushed compared to the rest but AOTS and AOTY contender anyway.

Sadly UK isn't popular enough to be /a/'s AOTS or AOTY but it's already my personal one.
Nidaime's crying broke my heart
I'd still like Benten to have some peace and happiness tbqh
I haven't read the source material, but I expect that in 2023when season 3 airs she will be much more humble and then explode in the final episode.

How much frog action is the little brown loli getting right now?
The fight was like those fights where the MC and the villain are out of juice and can't beamspam anymore and just beat the shit out of one another. Top tier stuff, just a desperate struggle for victory with no grace or technique.
>>158945174
I went there in March and never thought there was too many tourists. Kinkakuji and Kiyomizu-dera were a bit cramped but that's about it.

Would it work if he puts a bag over her head?

A lot more people liked Benten in S1.
Nidaime was too good for that shallow slut

It's a loss for both because they were at their lowest in this fight. That's why they are both crying later, embracing how pathetic they and everything that surrounds them is.

There are all kinds of reasons why she keeps going after Nidaime.

He didn't plan to get shot, that's what it means. The anime just has to explain its arrangement that he intended to keep playing the double role.

>ZERO (0)
>ROMANTIC

>>158946870
There's certainly some compatibilities problems, especially societal ones I'd say. Doesn't make their relationship less interesting, which is what makes some people into it and wanting to get more of it.
That's the whole point of forbidden love.
>>158946883
Yeah, Yasaburo clearly stating that he liked her in season 1 certainly was not a fucking hint of feelings and romantic undertones.

Not a shipper but his internal monologue at the end with Benten is him finally admitting that he's not the right person for her

You know
So what exactly made him lose it?
>>158942883
Well he's got a brown loli, dad even marked her. Even dead he's hooked up his sons with waifus.
Although I like Kaisei and Yasaburo together, if you've watched S1 and S2 you have to admit that there is a lot more romantic hints between Yasaburo and Benten. Actually this episode was the perfect way to bury the YasaBen ship.
I remember a couple weeks ago when the novelfags were crying about the grandmother scene being skipped over. But when you consider how Ben10 acts with Yasaburo, it would be really stupid to pair Yasaburo with someone without resolving the whole 'crush' storyline. The novels get the added benefit of Yasaburou's inner monologue, so there was more romantic feelings involved with Kaisei - but in terms of overt actions, Benten really did vie for Yasaburou.
With Yasaburo going to comfort Ben10 and then explicitly saying that he knew that a Tanuki would never do (for her), he buried the hatchet on the ship. It makes sense for him to all in with Kaisei after that, which is why I thought that rearranging the Grandmother scene for the anime was important.
I really liked this episode, it ended really well. However there was a lot of rushing to get the plot out and I feel 1 more episode would have been perfect to keep a consistent pace.
I don't remember if BestMom and Yashiro were explicitly shown to be freed in ep11 but I don't think so. Nidaime resigning to the chain of events and hiding under the Tanuki looked like there was a missed scene (at least show the mass detransformation into tanuki).
There's definitely a lot to explore going into the 3rd book (and even elements from the second book). It was a great ride friends. See you in 5 years
>>158935960

>>158947964
>british gentleman getting run over by a vehicle
Dammit, Yasaburo a jihadist
>>158947954
>>158948163
Aho
>>158948196
I'm still baffled that the Friday people still don't give a single shit about all the supernatural stuff that goes around.
>>158946883
There was even a scene where Kaisei asked Yasaburo something like "when are you going to get over your crush with that Tengu woman" or something like that a few episodes back.
>>158948196
Yep, I pretty much agree with everything there.
>>158947954
He meant this
Casual fucking between Ben10 and Yasaburito is the only answer in 3d book.
Do it sensei, go full Josei cringe on these shippers.
Give some of dat Josei cuck juice like showa genroku final.
>>158948290
I'm assuming that humans have trouble registering anything that defies common sense in the setting. Otherwise something like the yearly tanuki airship viewing parties would have certainly raised eyebrows
>>158941344
Do they even have actual names? I mean Benten is just one of the 7 lucky gods and the name associated with the Friday Club and Nidaime is a title right?
>>158935781
what was the point of this action?
>>158948163
>>158948352
Replace Tanuk with Keanu
>>158948196
The book ending with Yasaburou thinking that what Benten needs isn't him made me feel like Yasaburou still has feelings for Benten, even though he knows it could never happen and even though he's engaged to Kaisei. The anime turns that around to make it like he knows he doesn't have a chance so he goes back to Kaisei.
I guess we'll see how it's dealt with in the next book.
>>158948196
>I remember a couple weeks ago when the novelfags were crying about the grandmother scene being skipped over.
So that was the scene they were talking about, well, it seems to me like it was a perfect closure this season, I'm glad they rearranged that.
>>158948511
Suzuki Satomi?
>>158948511
Benten is Suzuki Satomi, Nidame is Nyoigatake Yakushibou (same as Akadama)
>>158948196
I didn't like the episode all too much exactly for the reasons you mentioned. Especially the pacing in this episode was annoyingly off in comparison to every other episode this season. In my eyes this was the worst episode.
>>158948572
You are making it sound like he's settling with Kaisei and doesn't love her and he still wants the Benten V.
>>158948445
Yeah, it's almost like they can't "see" what is happening exactly. There's a scene in this last episode where we see people on the streets, with windows being broken down and shit exploding but not a sign of Benten or Nidaime.
>>158948511
Nidaime is a title yeah. It means he's the second of his name, the heir of Akadama.
I think Yasaburo may have said his full name when he told everyone to get the fuck out though?
>>158948052
His work made them "reset" and healed up some of thatmental retardness they both had. Something that Akadama couldn't do all these years
They can finally grow into normal adults instead of powerfull manchilds
>>158946584
The point is they both got fucked up by their childishness.
Nidaime lost all his suits and his house and he's still denying his heritage.
Benten lost her hair and the only person who she likes hanging out with has a girlfriend now and she's still a lonely sad cunt who can't relate to anyone.
>>158948163
He just wanted to be a english gentleman unrelated to tengu.
Now he has a bitch that wants to kill him, a destroyed house, tons of fools around, shitty tanuki drama he doesn't cares about and a constant reminder of his romantic failures when he was young, all while doing the job of a tengu. The poor thing can't handle it any longer.
>>158948643
That's what it felt like to me by rearranging the scenes like that.
>>158944552
>I hope that mean he;s ready to reconcile with Sensei
My degree in google translate shows that the Japanese wiki said that by the end of the book Akadama had "warm words" for Nidaime, did that not happen?
Third world internet is preventing my episode download from finishing
>>158948716
>he's still denying his heritage
But he said "I will not become a Tengu" in the last scene. That's a progression and clearly he has his shit together unlike Benten.
>>158948743
They have been going around how he likes Kaisei the whole season, Benten is his crush he idolized. The final scene with her where he shows pity for her looks to me like looks to me as if he lets go that idolization and his crush with it.
>>158948743
That shit happens in Josei shit. I don't think it would fit here.
but who knows...
OP 1 or OP 2?
Can someone photoshop tenmaya's or Sou's face onto the Drag Me To Hell poster?
>>158947203
>Suddenly, Nidaime spoke in a small voice as if that of a shy young girl.
>“Could the two of us become friends?”
>“I’m grateful for your offer, but that is out of question.”
>“Why is that?”
>“Because I am a tanuki. Tengu bully us tanuki.”
Fuck you for suddenly sticking to stupid traditions when best boy needs a buddy Yasaburo
Which hurt you more? Nidaime crying or Benten crying?
Based P.A Works, we better have S3 soon or I'll riot.
>>158948572
Yasaburou most certainly had an unrequited love (actually I much prefer the term crush here) on Ben10. I'm fairly certain Souichiro also had a crush on Ben10 (especially from BestMom's reactions in S1). Maybe it runs in the fools blood?
Either way, Yasaburou knows its not his place to be in a relationship with her. He wouldn't be able to empathize with her or understand the gravity of her problems. While they're both troublemakers, they have different reasons for why they are troublemakers. For Yasaburou, "A fun thing is a good thing", he does it for the fun of it. For Benten, it seems more like an escape from her life. I feel like she makes trouble to get away from her worries, similar to someone drowning their sorrows in alcohol. While Yasaburou and Benten are kindred spirits, Benten definitely has a lot more baggage and Yasaburou knows that she is unattainable.
I feel like within the bounds of the anime (both season), the romance with Kaisei is definitely less developed but there is a basis for it
>>158948636
Yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Episode 11 and 12 definitely did feel like it was rushed to fit plot points, whereas all the other episodes took their time to carefully craft the story and characters. I'm definitely a sucker for denouement parts so the New Years scene (last season as well as this) and Yasaburou meeting with everyone makes the episode great for me
>>158949348
Pompoko Kamen crying
;__;7
Is Gyokuran pretty much the perfect waifu?
>>158948643
Doesn't matter if he loves Kaisei or not, he's still settling with her since the only reason he's not pursuing Benten is because he knows that he's not the right person for her. If Yasaburo was good for Benten then guess what, he'd be going after her and not Kaisei.
>decide to buy DP because everytime I tried to pirate it, it crashes to hell
>still crashes to hell
>>158949348
I felt nothing but pity for both.Maybe a bit of a strange satisfaction with Benten as well but that's it.

>>158949867
It's time to learn Japanese anon.
I didn't like this season. One of its biggest downfalls for me was that is was too mythological. The first season always started by talking about the balance between humans, tanuki and tengu. The human world was basically cut out of the picture in the second season and we were only watching mythological beings doing increasingly more mythological things. They stopped being something that happens within and on the boarders of human society, but on a mystical place of its own. I couldn't care less about any of character dramas this time around.
>Original novel which got adapted in form of S1 is from 2007
>Sequel novel which got the adaption now is from 2015
Only six years to go plus 1-2 years for PA Works to adapt it.
See you 2025
>>158941299
I'm kinda disappointed with S2, it felt a lot more disjointed than S1 which was pretty damn solid.
>>158949919
Honestly, you should really learn japanese. Give it your all and you might be able to read the novel when it comes out.
>>158949906
Eh, I don't think humans were ever anything more than window dressings. The series was always pretty heavily mythological.
So does Yasaburo love Benten more than Kaisei?
>>158949486

>mfw 2025 isn't even that far off
That was so good. I wished I bothered joining the threads on the first season too.There's not much Yashiro this time around but I'm quite satisfied.
>>158950134
Nidaime hates Benten because she reminds him of the woman who abandoned him while he was getting his ass kicked by Akadama. Benten hates Nidaime because he came into her territory and proved to be more powerful than her.
>>158949906
To be honest I feel that this season was the strongest when it did stuff like hell and onis. Tenmaya was such a waste of a character, shot a couple of tanukis then got shafted.
>>158950240
That's pretty fucking lame. The way the anime did all the nidaime motivations was just ass.
This ride has been great. Stay fluffy, my tanukifriends.
>>158950240
Why did she even abandon Nidaime? What kind of dumb slut do you have to be to miss out on such a hunk?
>>158935730
I actually laughed out loud when this happened. I like Benten a lot as a character, but the bitch deserved it. Thanks based Nidaime for delivering again.
That was a little awkward how many "Yasaburo goes to visit X for a brief exchange of dialogue" scenes in a row stacked up at the end. I think there were just too many characters this season to do it that way. I don't get the point of not including Nidaime begging for Yasaburo to befriend him. Re-ordering the grandma scene to the end kinda creates a vastly different impression from ending on him visiting Benten, which is an interesting change.
I almost wonder if some of the denouement scenes should have been relegated to a BD packaged OVA so that everything could have been given a few minutes more for better pacing.
Still, AOTY unless Owarimonogatari can turn miracles by going through to the end of the main story with all hands on deck after the end of Kizu.
>>158940610
are you that "shitting up the thread posting" anon from the other thread last week ?
if so you have strong strain of autism.
Honestly, the biggest fault of S2 is that unlike S1 you can "feel" it's leaving out a shitton of stuff out. It plain and simply feels incomplete. It has can't adapt everything syndrome. I never felt this way with S1.

Maybe she didn't want a mythological boyfriend.

Great finale, really good series.

>Honestly, the biggest fault of S2 is that unlike S1 you can "feel" it's leaving out a shitton of stuff out
I don't know about how much stuff was left out but the structure of the story was kinda all over the places due to so many subplots running parallels yet never overlapping, also some parts seemed very superficial, likely due to missing scenes.
It was cute and comfy but it certainly wasn't S1.

I think the Benten scene should have directly preceded the grandmother scene.
>>158950590
It's kinda late for that.
Was Akadama aware that proto-Ben10 was a whore and was trying to protect his son from impending heartbreak, or did he just want the proto-Ben10 pussy for himself?
>>158950684
He can just not watch the last 3 minutes left.
>>158950715
The last 3 minutes don't bring anything else.
>>158948572
I don't exactly agree but I get what you mean.
Personally I think Yasaburo had feelings for Suzuki Satomi and the moment Benten fully embraced her tengu self and went on to make Yasaburo choose/see her as a tengu was the end of it. He'd still recognise he had a crush on her but as she was 'Benten', nothing would ever happen between them.
His feelings for Kaisei were mostly subconscious and he doesn't want to accept them mostly for Yajiro but she's always in the background somewhere so I believe his feelings for her grew and are totally separate from anything related to Benten.
The novel having Yasaburo and Kaisei reinstate their engagement before Yasaburo's last monologue with Benten goes to show how he and Kaisei were going to work regardless of Benten since he chooses her before putting his Benten feelings to bed, but with the anime resolving the Benten side first then choosing Kaisei it does kind of feel like Kaisei is 'second choice'.
That's mostly why I don't like that they moved the re-engagement scene to the end. But I get that as an anime they wanted it to end upbeat with romance instead of melancholy with Benten. I think they should have kept Benten's scene as last and made it more sad.
>>158950755
They have cute grandma talking about fluffy stuff.
>>158950706
"Reasons".
I really have the impression that they should have cut all the tengu subplots/characters since they brought nothing of value to this season plot. Focusing on the tanukis would have offered a more coherent, better story.
>>158945876
Do tanuki make good pets? They're pretty fucking cute.
>Kaisei will eternally second place
She deserves better than Cucksaburo.
>>158950454
The second book is 100+ pages longer than the first and the anime is one episode shorter. Shikatanai.
>>158950836
>irrelevant non character talking about being fluffy
>>158950899
You seem really angry for some reason. Bad day?
>>158950897
>The second book is 100+ pages longer than the first and the anime is one episode shorter
So it was doomed to underperform.
>>158950897
I hope someone translate those books one of these days.
>hatefuck doujins NEVER EVER
There is no justice in this world.
>>158946852
Clear social divide, anon. Did you miss the entire dynamic between Tengu and Tanuki? They cannot mix.
>>158950948
More or less so, but really they included old man talking about baths and itching.

Just the prologue though.
Benten did NOTHING wrong. Nidaime a shit.
>>158951143
>you will never be Nidaime's tanuki friend
;_;
>>158950932
Nothing of value happens after Yasaburo tells the grandma they're getting married, anon dropping the show after this point isn't any different than dropping it post credits. Unless you REALLY enjoy fapping to grandma tanuki for some reason.
>>158951184
This desu. Nidaime is autistiic
>>158951184
Only Soun did something wrong.
>>158951269
>not fapping to this fluff
You gay son?
>>158950468
LWA had terrible pacing problems in the first part and retread ground from the OVA for little benefit. Things picked up when Croix showed up, but the plot they've gone with is the absolute most basic and cliched story that could be told. Besides, the number of times I've seen that dryad ghost restate the quest pissed me off since it's a simple enough concept that it didn't need an exposition dump in the first place.
It's just that instead of trying to do something groundbreaking, they decided to make it into an actual children's show. There's nothing wrong with that, and the quality is decent enough, but that means it just falls behind a show like Uchouten Kazoku which has such a layered narrative, vibrant setting, and compelling themes.

>>158951358
Would it get sticky if you came on it?
What was that small blue pendant that Benten drunk?
>>158951585
Only one way to find out.
>>158951714
Watch the damn anime.
>>158951714
Soun's crying pebble.
>>158951714
Kaisei has one too.
The first season was comfier
>that Ryuuji scream
Oh god here come the TAIGAAAAA flashbacks
>>158951907
I'd have to disagree, considering this season was basically about the importance of settling down with a cute waifu just like your dad wanted.
>>158950400
>That was a little awkward how many "Yasaburo goes to visit X for a brief exchange of dialogue" scenes in a row stacked up at the end
Yeah, this.
Though I have to admit that just because of all the new best boys and girls introduced in this season and the relationship dynamics that came along with them, I ended up having more omoshiroi than I did during the original run . S1 was technically more well put together but S2 had more isolated moments and interactions that I loved.
>>158951907
I don't find either season comfy, comfy doesn't have suspense to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZCINcLv6lk
>>158952212
Not that guy, but I think that's a fair assessment. I would have to agree. There's more quibbles about S2 I can point out, but it's pretty enjoyable so who cares?
I really fucking hope Souun is gone for good this time.
>>158949210
Nidaime a cute.
>>158940383

Can you get fluent in moon by 2025?

Yeah this last episode was a little rushed in that aspect but very enjoyable nontheless.

You can certainly learn enough to read a light novel by then.

But he was the best character.
>>158952843
Damn, I forgot how good this was.
I can't put my finger on it but I enjoyed s2 slightly more, aside from some things feeling a bit rushed.
Easily best show this season and part of my favorite shows. It delivered like a mofo.
BENTEN-SAMA PLEASE EAT ME!

>I can't put my finger on it but I enjoyed s2 slightly more
I think this common sentiment is likely due to the fact that the narrative actually evolves significantly. It's not an adaption of a shitty LN that repeats the same lackluster patterns volume after volume, the books are actual novels with strong thematic exploration.
