Wow that's rude but whatever.


Similar to the way you've grown tired of these kinds of plot developments in anime, I've grown tired of people consistently applying the term "NTR" to stuff that isn't fetish porn. Drop the show or don't, but if you're going to use a word that presupposes that people can be "stolen" outside the confines of media specifically designed for people to get off on that sort of thing, then I'm certainly not going to hold myself back from being "rude".

Wow that's rude but whatever. Anyway Perhaps NTR as a definition doesn't apply here but mainly as an analogy. spoiler[Kanami running off with Hiyori during that one scene in episode 1 and ultimately willing to go wherever she goes with her to which not giving a DAMN (mostly) about Mai is what I mean by NTR.

Heck the moment Hiyori enters the picture Mai is pretty much CHOPPED LIVER. Also I learn that it's like this throughout the whole story as Kanami get's closer to Hiyori and Mai becomes close friends with someone else. It's basically Hiyori coming into Kanami's life and "stealing" (intentionally or not) the "close friends zone" away from Mai.]


Again it's not NTR in since of definition plus obviously romance is not involved (unless your putting on yuri goggles and playing the shipping wars) yet I'm using it as an analogy to describe the situation as a whole.

I've grown tired of these type of plotlines and shows similar to them. I've decided to drop a show or story the moment one of these comes to the surface. So like I said before I'll be dropping this show, good riddance.


spoiler[I hope Mai ends up just like Tamao and Yaya. :^)]

NTR is a porn term and is not the right way to describe a plot twist, friendship is not marriage and Kanami is allowed to have more than one, and it looks like someone has not seen episode 2 since spoiler[Kanami and Mai are still friends and that was even indicated in the opening that was shown at the end of episode 1].

The thing to remember is will we have 24 back-to-back weeks or 1 12-episode winter season followed by a summer or fall season of the same amount?

Really suprisingly many anime this winter season that are 2 cour normaly we see most 2cour shows either at spring or fall season. Kinda makes me wonder why the sudden change o,o


Aside from this, Clear Card, Franxx, and Yowapeda, have there been other 2 cours shows announced?

Franxx was originally planned for Spring for what its worth.

Fate/Extra Last Encore's also 2 cour

Excellents news!

Also, there's a good number of characters so having it built for a continuous longer run like 24 is very nice.

I have to say, it's been awhile since we had a non-harem, mostly-female-led cast TV series that lasts 2 cours. Those tend to be common back in the 2000s.


Yeah.

In a yuri(-subtext) series, spoiler[a girl with Yaya on her name] tends to lose in the end. :^)


{Edit}: The one liner rule (which is a rule here) is more lax in the Talkback section. Posting nothing more than an emoticon however is not enough and that's why your last post was removed. Making a rude insult (which was removed from this post) after the fact and then removing a mod edit of your post are both highly frowned upon however. I suggest you stop both. ~ Psycho 101
