Rainy Blue and Noriko's arc

[Ialdaboth]

What to choose, what to choose...

"More Rosa Gigantea ?" ^^
"The new students! Denpa vs Drill" ?
or "More Sachiko and Yumi" ^____^

They all seem more interesting than the others...

Definitely Rainy Blue... which I doubt we'll get to if we only get a 13 ep season. Otherwise Noriko/Shimako's Cherry Blossom.

As for Rosa Gigantea, do you mean the departing Rosa Gigantea, or the soon-to-be Rosa Gigantea?

BTW, does anyone have definitive news as to whether this will be a 13 or 26 ep season?

Edited to add: There's been public announcements regarding Noriko & Touko in the new season but not for Denpa as far as I know. So has there even been any indication that Denpa will show up this season or has it all been just fan speculation/wishful thinking?

They can still do Rainy Blue with 13 episodes. They can probably conclude the graduation arc by episode 4 and leave plenty of episodes for Cherry Blossom and Rainy Blue/Parasol wo sashite arc.

Denpa didn't appear in the OP so I doubt she will show up at all this season.

Maybe that means a 3rd season! (wishful thinking )

Won't going through the 2 book Graduation arc in 2 episodes be very rushed? (Or 3 eps if you count Rosa Foetida's side story) I was hoping that they'll do the Sei/Shimako first meeting story as well...

If your prediction prove to be correct and the series does in fact reach the Rainy Blue/Parasol arc, then I *very much* hope that it'll be paced so that they'll finish the whole arc rather than leave the audience hanging for the conclusion (in a possible) next season.

I wish I knew, too...

Nobody know ? (please ? )

I certainly hope they don't just stop at the end of Rainy Blue this season. That will cause a huge riot among fans. Heh.

I would love to see more episodes on the graduation arc but based on the pace from last season it's very possible they will speed through most of the story.

My guess is there will be a separate episode on the first encounter of Sei and Shimako. Not sure if they will put it before Cherry Blossom or after since either way works IMO.

Yeah, I think you're probably going to be right about this. Of the three story arcs that this season will likely cover, I do think that the Graduation arc is the most expendable. I'd hate to see them rush Cherry Blossom or Rainy Blue/Parasol like this, so sacrificing the Graduation arc is likely the best compromise.

My personal preference would be to have it before. It's a very good prelude/foreshadowing for the Noriko/Shimako meeting and I think adds an interesting nuance and extra dimension to that meeting.

I just remembered there is another side story in the novel about how Youko, Sei and Eriko met. I wonder if they are going to animate that as well. If so, that would be another episode....

I agree with you. I think anime-wise it's better to put it before Cherry Blossom. In the novel you can always go back and forth but it may not work well with anime.

[Sweets Yumi]

I voted Rosa graduation. *sigh*

Awww....everyone seems to be looking forward to Denpa, and she wont even be showing up.


Will Canina really be in the series again?

Well, I don't know about the anime series, but I know Shizuka had a cameo in Volume 17 of the novel when Yumi, Yoshino & Shimako went to Italy...

[SleeplessHeart]

I think, we should one more option here:

Rainy Blue

and change "New students! Drill vs Denpa" to just "New First Grade Students"

Agree?

Sounds good. You might want to be specific with the "New First Grade Students" option and specify Noriko/Touko. Too bad I've already voted... (voted Sachiko/Yumi since Rainy Blue wasn't up as an option)

[SleeplessHeart]

Can any Admin help to me change:
(1) Option "New Students! Denpa vs Drill" to "New First Grade Students"
(2) Option "Rosa Kanina" to "Rainy Blue"?

Thanks

[SleeplessHeart]

It seems that Denpa and Drill (Oh gosh, I love these nick names) will appear in the spring season, even only for one or two episodes.

Look at TV Tokyo site, here for those who have forgotten how to type using keyboard . Select on Character.

I think the other shadow girl is Noriko. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I am impressed by your creativity to unlock the hidden characters.
So, We only have Drill, well better than nothing.

By the way, I could not resist reading the spoiler of Episode 3 in TV-Tokyo site. I can anticipate that Episode 4 will be the Graduation Ceremony story.
