(CR) Natsu no Arashi! (second season)

[Guardian Enzo]

Another excellent ep, full of feints and teases. I smell a reset end coming, but anything could happen. I don't suppose there's enough manga (or DVD sales) for a third season, but I'll forever hope.

Second character song album is out.
Gurasan's rendition of "Gyarandu" is absolutely likeable.
Tomokazu Sugita and Kobayashi Yuu got their songs too.

I wonder if Sailor Fuku to Kikanjyuu becomes EP13 special ED or not. It just might.

[Daniel Lind]

I beg your pardon for doubleposting, but this is actually something worth seeing.

Compare with the old one. The retake looks sexy and I don't mean the girls! Credits, on other hand, are even more incomprehensible.

[Midonin]

I haven't seen that many kiwis and explosions since Koichi Sakamoto blew up half of New Zealand. That said, it was a very nice final episode, encapsulating pretty much all the series' running gags, time travel hijinks and Yayoi and Kanako's guessing games that made the series fun. It was a great ride overall.

[Daniel Lind]

Well that was a really great finale... or coda?
We didn't get an anime-original end, so they might just continue the anime again.
That was a great ride indeed, I just hope it won't end like many manga-promotional anime out there, Arashi really deserves much better.

By the way, how's the manga? There is only so much you can tell in a short timespan before the summer ends? Does Kobayashi Jin intends to make his summer endless? There are... forty chapters currently, IIRC (of which we anime got to ~31st).

[Shiroth]

Yeah it wasn't a bad last episode. Do hope for a third season though, because i adore this cast.

& the salt, finally!

Spoiler for final thoughts:

Feh, it's finally over. 6/10. To be honest, it wasn't that good. Some of the episodes were okay and the last episode was good, but some of the episodes were pretty boring or was painfully "Shaft"-like...
The characters weren't too bad though.

So, the 2nd season of Natsu no Arashi came to an end.

Well, even thought, i expected more about Arashi about having her last summer and not seeing Hajime anymore, it still is a good ending, in my eyes.

The ending is most likly not something, most people like, but still, is something special. I cant wait to see the next project of my favourite Mangaka.

Is this episode an anime original or is it based on the manga? because it seems kind of excessive to have 3 episodes involving exploding fruit, especially when 2 of those 3 are the last episodes in a season. Than again, this anime did love to re-use jokes, the salt guy and Kanako/Yayoi's "Describe it to me" scenes were not funny at all, but they still used them every single episode.

Those 2 bad gags aside, it was a good season. Episode 10 was by far my favorite and Jun's episodes were entertaining as well. I would definitely like a 3rd season, especially since the manga scanlations are still on season 1.

Isn't the Natsu no Arashi manga still ongoing? I doubt it's really the end, though I guess I souldn't be too surprised knowing Kobayashi Jin. The only closure in this episode was the salt guy finally getting his salt (!!!)

There's still a chance we'll get a season 3 in a few years.

[Solafighter]

Well, im kinda looking forward to the new project, i heart he will start soon, called "Honokawa Action".

[TMSIDR]

Spoiler:

I think some episodes in the 2nd season were not very good, but some others were really great (especially the one where Hajime helped the younger Arashi. Tese episodes really should that Kobayashi can write very touching scenes without making them too touchy^^.

Edit: Especially the reaction indirect kiss at the end confirmed again that Arashi is not uninterested in Hajime.

I hope that they will make a third season becasue I doubt that we will get full scanlations soon or that some nice manga publisher licenses the manga. It's very sad that this show is so underrated because it is has much more warmth and great characters than most other shows (and mangas).

[Guardian Enzo]

Well, it's still my hope that there's going to be enough manga to give us a third season - since we really didn't finish things up in any real way. The episode was satisfying enough, but was no more an ending than the first one was a beginning. I still love this cast and I'd like to see a lot more (hopefully mangaka-approved) closure to their story.

[Malintex_Terek]

What are our chances for a third season?

NnA's first season was Masterpiece-tier IMV, one of the best anime I've seen in a long, long time. The second season, as of Episode 7, is OK as a "fan disk" kind of supplement, but it's not nearly as perfect as the first season.

Still hopeful though.

[Guardian Enzo]

AFAIK there isn't enough manga for another season even if SHAFT wanted to make it, but I could be wrong about that.

[kenjiharima]

Truly this anime is underated. Thanks for the DVD preview and images.

Wouldn't stop anime material, but yeah i think it's best to wait until we have more manga material.

Does anyone know the song playing in the background while everyone's dancing, around in episode 12 around 9:13?

I'm pretty sure it's the intro to a song I know... but I can't place where it is and it's been bugging me
