I knew that the new song must be an arrangement of BOYS DON'T CRY! I knew it!

Wonder how the story will be wrapped up anyways. The animation still looks... lacking, but the angry Kurugaya-part was pretty stunning.

I've played the original game, I know how it ends, but watching this is giving me the feels. Yuiko forever best girl.

Oh yea, message to everyone. I suggest waiting for the season to end before watching it all in one sitting. It's watching it week by week will dampen the effects. It's the only way to go for these types of anime.

Yes! I should have guessed by the name, but I could definitely tell listening to it.

But the article says Kimi to Nakushi Mono is in this video too? Where? The first song in the video is Haruka Kanata by Rita (An insert song from the Refrain VN).

Also, It looks from the preview that Kurugaya's route is going to actually maybe have some real romance between her and Riki in it? I was wondering how they were gonna make it work, since usually KEY anime leave out any romance that isn't between the "main" couple. OVAs aside, Kyou and Tomoyo from Clannad pretty much lost their stories in the anime since they were too dependent on Tomoya and them actually dating...

A much better PV than what they had for the first series. Glad to see that they will be including a lot of the really important stuff. Really looking forward to this now.

There's a debate over whether Yuiko or Rin is the "true" romantic interest of Riki. Not sure if the following is considered a spoiler but spoiler[Yuiko is the only non-main girl who has a "true end."] That and a couple of other points are the main reasons an argument even exists in the first place. Of course, I never really cared enough about the issue to research it, so I'm no expert on the matter.

EDIT: Reworded after seeing Megiddo's post.

Oh yeah, haha. Been such a long time since I've played it.

On a side note, I like Haruka the best.

Also, I wonder if this will be single cour. I just can't see them stretching out Kurugaya/Rin2/Refrain into 2 cours on its own. But with no content from Saya/Sasasasami/Kanata's EX routes it seems they won't be getting adapted in this series at least.

After being thoroughly disappointed in the first season I am not really looking forward to this at all. Maybe that will make it turn out for the better though due to my lack of high expectations.
