>>161126305
I don't know, name an example where a design update looked worse than the original.

>>161126425
S1 looks best.

>>161126456
Log Horizon S2.
At the time everyone was defending it by saying it was "closer to the LN" but they looked way worse than the LN art so I don't understand how that's a defense.

>>161126305
None of them changed designs, it's different art styles
Learn what words mean

>>161126305
S1 was way better, I dropped S2 cause I just couldn't stand the designs and how fucking autistic the show started to get

>>161126788
>how fucking autistic the show started to get

The whole premise of the show is about social autism though.

>>161126305
yeah i liked zoku's design a lot

>>161126872
I never thought they would take it to a whole other level like that though
It's just annoying to be honest

>>161126305
Yeah, when it's better than the previous design. S1 looks cheap and S2 has more details and looks better.

>>161126305
Yup

I like both. Yukino and Yui are hot as fuck but why is 8man so handsome in season 2?

>>161126305
S1 actually looks unique. The others look generic.

i dont care what you say S1 had the best eyes.. they actually looked like that of a dead fish

>>161128517
In the LN they do mention that 8man is actually decent looking.

>>161128517
.feel makes everybody gorgeous, see minami ke tadaima.

I liked hiki looking weird as fuck in S1 but the girls in S2 are too good to pass.

>>161128987
The only one who says that is himself though.
He is plain at best but his depressed eyes maki him look outright ugly.

>>161129551
Yukino agreed with him.

>>161128361
Haruno was both the hottest and the best girl in the show. Perfect combination.

>>161129604
Wrong.

>>161129604
Don't start the best girl discussion. Might as well throw this thread away now

>>161128517
I could totally see two hot chicks being in love with the season 2 him, not the season one him. One could argue that neither was in love with him in season 1, at least most of it.

>>161129757
Yui is crushing from him from the start. Also I know most of it is not adapted but Saki definitely also has a thing for him.

>>161129757
Yui has always liked him.

>>161129604
Yuicucks BTFO

>>161129873
Their relationship was reset after her birthday and she said she didn't like him.

On second thought she is not a good source of info and was probably lying. If she liked from the start chances are that is the reason she joined the club.

>>161129854
Saki isn't superficial so it would make sense. Why have a side character have a crush on 8man?

>>161129757
>>161128517
Season 2 is in Yukino vision. Hachiman gets super hot but maintains those eyes and Yui loses about 4 cup sizes.

>>161130044
>Why have a side character have a crush on 8man?
Because it is cute. Also a lot of the LN is about reading between the lines and Its fun to see her clearly be flustered while he in his head can't even remember her name.

>>161126456
NNB
Ika Musume

>>161130106
Shouldn't everybody be ugly as shit in Yukinovision? Except maybe Haruno

>>161126414

>>161130044
About Saki
In the LN is explained that her little brother is partially behind this, since he talks about komachi and 8man alot Hachi becomes the only classmate in Saki's mind, especially after he helped her realizing she didn't have to work.

>>161128524
This.

>>161130398
Will she win the Hikki bowl? She doesn't any strings attached and won't go nuclear. At least a confession will be nice.

>>161130580
In the LN he has told Saki he loved her. accidentally

>>161130580
No, she kind of has a crush on him but it's nothing compared to Yui or even potentially Yukino.

>>161130712
Yui is borderline obsessed. I wouldn't put something dramatic past her.

>potentially Yukino
I thought Yukino liked him

>>161130695
Gaay

She did seem to react to the normalfag slut talking about giving 8man chocolate.

>>161130793
In the LN she also gives him chocolate under a pretense.
With Yui and Yukino it is clear he wonders if there is really something there. With Saki he is completely oblivious.

He is fucking retarded. He seemed aware in the anime but choose to look away.

>With Saki he is completely oblivious.
Then he is a fag. A pretty family girl that isn't a bitch doesn't fall from the sky or grow on trees.

>>161131066
Was Gahama-san invited to the wedding?

>>161131122

No. The point is he was burned before and doesn't ever want to misinterpret it that way again.

That is the premise and almost in the title.

>>161131585
I am pointing out how stupid it seems.

>>161131633
He misinterpret a girl being nice to him as interest because she was nice to everyone. Yui is also nice to everyone. She is actually different but on the outside she seems very much like Orimoto

>>161129635
damn, that's some pretty horrible taste you got there.

>>161131499
>people are pizzas
Sometimes I forget how autistic this place is.

>>161131720
Yui is a nice person in general but she is a cunt to people many times and is obviously acting nice as a mechanism most of the time. She lies for gain and tried to do something not nice to Yukino.

Yukino is a cunt 90% of the time so she isn't a nice girl.

Underrated post.

I wonder what post-genuine Hachiman looks like to her.

>>161131247
Or more simply, he just doesn't like her that way. He's more than likely aware, but ya know, imagine the school "loser" turning down one of the cutest girls in school.

It would destroy her social status, which 8man normally wouldn't give a shit about, but he knows Yui cares very much about her social status and tries to preserve her feelings.

>>161132707
This is implied, he likes Yui as a friend and of corse finds her tits sexy but romanticaly seems much more interested in Yukino.

>>161132707
I doubt he thinks that much about it besides he is a loser hanging out with an A class beauty, which he is already over it. He pushes Yui's feelings out of his mind almost as far as Yukino's. He makes too many comments about being afraid to think her feelings are actually real.

He obviously doesn't like her, in the AU where they start dating he just lets her have her way.

>>161132707
At first he is definitely just careful not to misinterpret anything but during the festival it changes and seems exactly what you are saying. I still wouldn't say Yui has no chance. She appears to know what the problem is and is trying.

>>161126305
Nope.

>>161132948
To add to this he was saddened that her v day cookies were just thank you. He isn't that deliberate with her feelings as you guys make it seem. He actively refused to acknowledge that a love triangle existed.

>>161132959
That's a good point, he probably was trying very hard not to misinterpret her feelings since he was burned before, but it becomes increasingly obvious to him especially as him and Yukino grew closer later on. He's gonna have to set the record straight if he doesn't want things to return to how they were mid-season 2 where everything was fake smiles.

>>161133080
That's because he's torn between his desire of preserving the status quo of the one place he feels comfortable with and his desire to have the "genuine" relationship he described.

You gotta keep in mind that 8Man isn't really honest with his feelings, not even towards himself and his actions and words actively start contradicting each other as a result.

8man will take responsibilty as Iroha's boyfriend.

>>161136030
No. Iroha is shit and ruined the show. Let truck-kun take responsibility.

Is Yui in love with 8man? If so how will she handle YukinonxHikki?

Only Hayama. And yuifags.

>>161138200
I thought Hayama liked Haruno. Why Yuifags?

>>161138303
No Hayama likes Yukino. That is pretty obvious.
And yuifags generally like to pair up Yukino so their girl can win.

yukino will become a naggy shriveled up old hag like her mom

yui will stay youthful and energetic, with a teasing gentle voice

>>161128198
Moyashimon is the worst change. I don't remember how many years they waiting to make second season.

>>161138545
Nah, Yui will become a bicycle.

>>161138446
I am not sold that he likes her. He seems at Haruno's beck and call. He feels bad for what happens but he doesn't seem to be trying to get Yukino, thee end of vol 10 kinda made it seem that that path is done. Yukino likes 8man a lot and that doesn't seem to bother him.

8man wouldn't pick a number two.

>>161132987
DONT

>>161138735
>loyal and completely dedicated to 8man
>turning into a slut
that really doesn't fit her personality.

>>161138757
>I am not sold that he likes her.
Haruno doesn't start with Yu though. There are so many hints. How much he regrets not being able to restore their relationship. How much he resents 8man for winning against him.
>He feels bad for what happens but he doesn't seem to be trying to get Yukino
He also wants her to like him back so its not like he can just jump on her. Also their families want them together so he doesn't have to be too aggressive.

>>161138909
He is extremely prideful so 8man helping Yukino where he failed burns his ass. He regrets their relationship because she was his friend and he hurt her, plus it lost him all the Haruno points in the world. His closeness to Haruno should be a sign, he seems to regret her lack of interest in him more than Yukino and his past. He also is pressured to have a good relationship with her and he wouldn't dare say no.

>>161138847
Just wait

>>161139171
>His closeness to Haruno should be a sign
I mean their families are close. And his main defining feature is that he always meets everyone's expectations.

And again. Haruno doesn't start with Yu.

>>161139276
Yu so Tobe could think Yumiko
Yu is part of Yukinoshita

Only time will tell but I can hardly see why you are so certain. If he likes her he might get with Yukino in the end.

No look at Kara no Kyoukai and Megazone 23

>>161139387
There are so many hints. Also from a dramatic stand point it just makes it more interesting. If he is interested in Haruno then there would be a lot less problems.

Season 1 Yui was an abomination.

>>161133066

I honestly couldn't go further than the first episode because I hated the character designs so much. Shame because it appears I missed out on a decent show.

>>161139449
But that is a cliche as fuck plus the main love triangle still exists. One between 8man, Yukino, and Hayama would be over in seconds since I am 99% sure she likes 8man. We know Yukino is going to stand up somehow to her family.

Whatever his feelings are he will listen to his parents and not because it is convenient to his love life. He could be a straight up fag and his behavior would be exactly the same. There is more drama in his arc if he is pushed to Yukino but likes Haruno. Yukino wasn't chosen after all. I don't know if Yukino ever liked him but I am sure he doesn't like her.

>>161138545

Yes. I am not saying they will end up together.

I like the idea that it actually is Haruha who he likes but that would mean he is a lot less aware and smart than I thought.

What are some cases where the art style is improved in later seasons?

>>161139923
No one honestly knows. The writer isn't direct, any other series we'd know for certain. I just want the end to end the speculation. Some folks on here have been driven mad by it (Yuippollfag, Irohafags, Yukino analysisfag, comes into every thread and tells us we can't have threads fag etc.).

>>161140174
Its supposed to mirror the main character I think. 8man always reads between the lines so we are meant to too.

Hayama might not have much to do with the ending. His past self will but his current self basically said that he isn't going to change at the end of volume 10. Volume 10 felt like that was his end in the story.

>>161138909
In the Yui side novels 8man ends up with Yui but Hayama is still as bitter and mad at 8man as in the real story.

>>161140302
>In the Yui side novels 8man ends up with Yui
What?

>>161140363
There are some side novels that retell the end of the anime. Yukino gives up her feelings, Yui ends up dating 8man but he is lukewarm on the idea.

>>161140363
Yes, its called ANOTHER, and pretty much confirms that Yui won't be the canon ending.
Yuipollfag promised a video crying and apologizing.

>>161140456
Will he actually do it though?

>>161140456
I had no idea.

Time to read that.

Has the author made any slight confirmation that 8man will get a girl?

>>161140662
No. Some people think he will because Yui got an ending. Others think so because the story may support it. Some people think a loner end fits the best. We don't know anything other than the author waifu shilling on twitter and those cheesy love lyric laced character songs.

>>161140456
Does anyone but him genuinely think there will be a Yui end? He might just be a troll pretending.

>>161126305
season 1 designs were better by far. the eyes are the most important part of the LN designs and season 2 turned it into a generic ass piece of shit. it has a higher budget for background scenes and animation, but it looks worse by far.

>>161141170
WW ideal woman is Sensei.
So he probably wanted to find her before finishing the novels, however he only found normie whores so Yui ending

Has Komachi "chosen" a girl?

>>161141619
Yui is not a whore. The only way she would become one if if losing Hikki made her depressed and stomped her self esteem so low she was fine with anything.

>>161141697
I want Yui to give every person paizuri and let them fuck her until her ass and pussy become red!

>>161126305

Strangely, Yahari is in almost the opposite situation as Dagashi Kashi.

>>161141788
Will it fill the void in her heart left by Hikki? Will it be more rewarding than being in Hikki's loving embrace?

>>161141883
She'll forget all about that silly hikkineet the second she tastes some old man sperm!

>>161141943
Old man dick lasts a few hours. Loneliness and self hatred last a lifetime. I am sure when she cries herself to sleep it is thoughts of Hikki that make her cry.

>>161126575
Only tangentially related, but should I watch Log Horizon? The plot synopsis makes it sound like a .hack retread.

>>161141673
Komachi is mainly just giving her bro options and approving ciondidates. She's expressed approval of having an older like both Yukino and Yui, brought up the idea of 8man marrying Kawasaki, has offered him as a prize to sensei, and is even okay with Haruno, though that last one might be because Komachi hasn't been around her enough.

Iroha however has not been Komachi approved.

>>161143111
Iroha is too good for Hachiman anyway, she has no deffects.
In other words he doesn't deserve her.

>>161143311
Iroha doesn't like him to begin with.

Of corse not, she's too good for him, she always friendzones him.
