closed-captions :bow: ... CHECK!
Yozora imitating teasing Sena... CHECK!
crappy OP song, interesting animation... CHECK!
Rika/Yukimura totally losing the plot... CHECK!
Yozora picking up from Rika to tease Sena again... CHECK!
Finally Yozora/Rika combo happens :D ... CHECK :love:
Maria still acting her age... unfortunately CHACK :(
Nopan Sena spanking@home... CHECK :naughty:
Kobato scared of visiting Sena's mansion... CHECK :love:
Is it me... or Sena just lost it... CHECK :uhoh:
Anyway, cow-sound during the study@mansion was hilarious :bow:
Troll female butler handing Kodaka a condom was even more epic :heh:
Kobato signing was even cuter... CHECK :love:
and yeah... having that kind of father (hot and steamy yaoi scene), I can totally understand how Sena turned into an asocial masochist :eyespin:
As for Kodaka, his guess was absolutely right...
... since Sena does her best to get scolded by Yozora, yet again :D


Generally, it looks a little better than the first season (more Buriki-like), and jokes flow a lot better now that I am familiar with all the cast... plus those closed captions help so f*cking much to understand :D

EDIT: OP or ED release date is February 2nd... sorry, but I couldn't read fast enough which one, judging from the song playing it should be the ED though. Also next episode adult Maria Kate appears, and Sena's plan probably backfires :naughty:

At laaassttt!! The first episode is finally out!

And what a way to start, Kodaka walking in on Sena doing something strange :heh: It's too bad it lead to her getting baited into a new hairstyle by the menacing hands of Rika and Yozora

I'm happy so finally see my other favourite character Maria, man it's been too long :)

Sena getting spanked was......Oh my...I think a gif is in order...no wait...a signature......

Well crap. Season 1's been on my backlog; I had no idea it got a second season. Or that it was bloody starting now.

Guess I better bump season 1 to the top of the list...

ion475
2013-01-10, 20:25
Well...

1. It certainly does look better than Season 1.
2. Wouldn't comment much on the story. It's been a LONG time since I read that part of the novel. As far as I remember, it's pretty much the same, though
3. Lots of Kodaka x Rika (seemingly) in the OP. Too bad this fitting coupling just won't happen...
4. Niku = おっぱい禁止!
5. Both the OP and ED are nice. MUCH better than S1.
6. Next episode = Homoge-bu, will see how crazy Rika goes (Don't remember...), and of course, the first appearance of KyubeyKate.

P.S. Nice neta on episode title...

Surprised to see Rika help Yozora with the bullying. Nice job by Sena's father to give her a scolding for it. Stella is definitely the best. Oh no Sena has become a hentai stalker!

It's finally back! Damn, everything is awesome just like how I remembered it. The spanking... lol. Sena sure is a creepy stalker especially when she was in bed sniffing... the wig... Yeah...

Sackett
2013-01-10, 21:41
Funny episode. Sena does love being bullied doesn't she? It makes her kind of sweet. And Yozora actually apologized?

What was with that last scene in bed with the wig though! :eek:

Talk about getting crap past the radar.

I guess Sena is totally down with the threesome ending isn't she?

Lexxus

This was too enjoyable. I was kind of mehh about S1 but they fixed up everything that I felt was wrong or lackluster for this season, awesome upgrade.
I wasn't a fan of either the op or ed for s1 but I love both the new ones. Especially the opening it's fantastic.
It's pure bliss for my eyes to be able to watch something so Buriki, it just looks so much better and they did a good job of animating the newly designed characters fluidly.
Sena was cute, Kobato was cute, all is well, this is exciting!

2013-01-10, 22:10
Hey something normally out of my element to watch for once, how refreshing. It's rare that I watch plot-less anime, but I remember the first season and it's the positive impression it had on me. Thankfully I remember the characters and everything from the first season particularly well too.

What would you call the female equivalent of a "bromance"? Whatever it is, that's certainly what I was seeing between Yozora and Rika when working on Sena's hair. Quite the monstrosity that turned out to be.

What kind of father spanks his teenage daughter when she misbehaves? :heh:

Sena's very attractive in many ways, but she is quite the creepo too. It's almost at a point that Kodaka may have to call the police on her eventually. :heh:

In terms of a first episode of a second season there's better ways they could have done it if you ask me, the re-introduction of the characters was limited to only the showing of their name when they first appeared in the episode. The showing of the characters' personalities was kind of dry too aside from Sena and maybe Kodaka.

But criticism aside, I'll certainly be watching this weekly as a good time waster. The severe downplay of romance and harem aspects in this show always gave me a certain appreciation for it, and I hope that persists in this season.

As expected of Sena, an ultra-genius who also dominates in sports, practically pulling Kodaka around almost like a ragdoll in that scene with the condoms. She's pretty strong.

its not really more fanservice-y than the first series, sena's personality is the same as the first season, though there are a lot of things to consider abou that, about the childhood drama; just watch the next episode preview at the end of the episode.

It looks better, and the storytelling flows smoother

S1 also had a lot of fanservice, not so much of the ecchi variety though as THIS episode.

Sena is a masochist lesbian? WTF?

Sena was a masochist, as for lesbian, well the predisposition was there from S1 to, but I doubt she will go down that path (outside doujinshi).

Where's the childhood drama?

That was significant for one episode in S1, and wasted a lot of time to begin with on all that senseless angst.

to kodaka enter sena's house to see sena has more obsession to yozora to having sena's dad rubbing clean kodaka's back (brain bleach now please).

oh my indeed yet next ep here come big "nun".

This episode has reinforced the belief I've had since season 1 that for all her talents, Sena is INCREDIBLY gullible and kind of an idiot (in a very funny way :heh:).

I'm pretty sure she gets it from her father. :heh:

If Kodaka wasn't in the picture this series would have gone down the yuri route ages ages ago, I don't know how long Sena has had those pictures of Yozora in her room but considering she looks at them everyday well.........:heh:

and that spanking scene 10/10

Well, it's actually not that usual for people to sleep with a hand between their knees when they twist onto their side. It's instinctive because it lessens the pressure on the back and is more comfortable. I immediately got that that was the "official" explanation, but also that it was intended to be taken the other way as well.

I was bit surprised how they focused on Sena in this episode, I mean it's like a sudden big jump of character development by telling what Sena doing in her room.:twitch:

As for fanservices well for an opening episode it's okay to have overwhelming fanservice but I hope they make it balance in next episodes. :eyebrow:

Judging from opening I hope for better story telling and character/relation development.:cool:

Overall I still enjoy the episode, but I can't help having a little disappointment.

Kanon
2013-01-11, 10:10
A Sena centric episode. This season is off to a good start.

Sena is just as gullible and easy to manipulate as she was in the first season. I was surprised Yozora apologized to her this time, I guess their relationship is improving... maybe?

The line between love and hate is thin, and it seems like Sena is leaning toward love without even realizing it. The final scene of the episode leaves no doubt in my mind. These two should just have angry sex already.

But Sena was awake the whole time >_< She even had starry eyes at the end (did she came?)

No doubt Sena would ask after they finish their fight "But you will respect me in the morning" and Yozora would tease Sena the next day.

Well, we were beating around the bush during all of S1... Yozora and Sena would make a perfect couple, and Kodaka is much better off with Kobato, Yukimura, Rika, or even Maria (if she ever grows up) :uhoh:

At least, this time around we don't get all that bullying nonsense :p

As for what Sena's hand was doing between her legs, while sniffing Yozora's wig, and ogling at her photographs... obviously it was aiding her relaxation for the forthcoming goodnight sleep :heh:

miss this show so much so I'll forget some flaw in the first episode...

and Sena... omg.... Yozora! look at what you have done to her... She has turned to be a scary girl!!!

I believe Rinjin-bu should visit Sena's house together one day...

and somehow in this season..... Yozora looks prettier.... but Rika is 10000x prettier in opening...

Every (anime) girl looks better without glasses, no exception.

Anyway, this episode was a lot of fun. Sena is a definite sucker for Yozora and Rika's combined prank, and her father is still as naive as ever (though I applaud him for spanking her). Also, she's infinitely more creepy than last episode, with her whole ceiling dedicated to Yozora and (seemingly) masturbating with that wig.

Also, Stella really likes shipping Kodako and Sena together, doesn't she? :heh:

Haak
2013-01-11, 14:55
Welp, this season just about managed to confirm my worst fears about the direction the story wants to go with Sena within a single episode. Watching an entire episode of my favourite character being bullied, then blamed for it, then suddenly revealing some over the top and needlessly negative attributes was definitely not a lot of fun, and my annoyance at seeing a perfectly great character slowly deteriorate before my eyes might just make me want to drop the show at this rate. Due to the presence of a certain voice actor, I'm honestly inclined to see this all the way through but this wouldn't be the first time I've given up on a show even with her in it. I'll give it a few more episodes. Hopefully it'll improve by then...

Oh god, I can totally imagine the awkward feeling Kodaka felt when having those moments with Sena. I have to agree with him, Sena just went into the uncanny valley tier.

Mooooooooooooo.

Oh, and does anyone else have Bakemonogatari vibes with those signs all around Sena on the ED?

One of the worst OP's I've heard. The animation at the beginning of the OP was nice.

potchip
2013-01-11, 19:51
Didn't like either the OP and ending songs, whilst the animation is quite nice. Did better (as n more true to the source) characterisation this time around. One of the fault of the first season is at the beginning it was reluctant to accept itself as a comedy (hence no background 'effect' sound in earlier episodes), until ep 5 or so. This time around a bit 'overstated' but comedy flows more naturally.

Huh. Strange considering that I saw this as a more normal friendship then most of the bullying that Sena endures. Season 1 was pretty brutal at times. This came across more as three girlfriends getting together to do something a little crazy and silly like a ridiculous hairdo. The most gullible one is of course talked into doing it, and then the other two got a little carried away, but apologized afterwards.

I mean, when brushing her hair they were actually being nice to each other. Sena's comment about wanting to laugh it off together was revealing.

As for the negative traits, Sena has always been shown as that type of extreme person, did you forget the way she treats boys other then Kodoka?

On side note: Now that I think about it, S2 being better shouldn't be a surprised when the source material gets better and better...

Welcome to the world of light novel ----> anime adaptations. Sena is a great character and it's sad that her depth only goes so far in the first season. Mainly, I'd love to see the outcast aspects of her character (the rest of the cast as well, but we only see this done with Kodaka) deepened in the anime but like you said, this episode has me doubting they'll go anywhere meaningful with her.

I thought as much while I was watching, it's like they established some depth in S1 and now they're just going to run with it.

No, I'm hoping the source material isn't what I fear it is. The problem is with the story itself, not the adaptation.

Then , head over to the LN thread and ask your concerns. There's very little LN readers can do to address these concerns in episodic threads, because of the spoiler policy.

What I can tell you though is that the general consensus of the LN readers is that the story get's better with every Volume. If you want, you could read the translations of the Post Volume 5 Light Novels (where Episode 1 is currently at) and judge for yourself.

^ This.

A pretty good start to the second season, and like many others here I do think this one started off better than the first one. A couple of "WTF?!" moments here and there were within my expectations, and looking forward to next week's shenanigans.

Oh the good ol Yozora is back...
Miss her and her antics to Yozora...


And at the end of eps 1, did Sena touch herself in pleasure while sniffing Yozora's wig and staring her pics?? :twitch:

You're looking into it too much if you ask me.

Then again considering the majority of the folk in here, it would be uncommon to find those who don't. :heh:

I don't know, folks. I sense that the butler and father were not trolling. And I think Kodaka will need to do more than to just get behind that meat and pound it repeatedly as if he were Rocky Balboa himself. And if Kodaka were to become her boyfriend, how would Yozora take it? At that point, three thousand chimps in the back of their heads should have just taken a shit. Sena should know by now what must be done to get back at Yozora, and screwing like rabbits between herself and Kodaka I expect should be the first thing hopefully come by the start of the next episode.

Huh. Strange considering that I saw this as a more normal friendship then most of the bullying that Sena endures. Season 1 was pretty brutal at times. This came across more as three girlfriends getting together to do something a little crazy and silly like a ridiculous hairdo. The most gullible one is of course talked into doing it, and then the other two got a little carried away, but apologized afterwards.

I mean, when brushing her hair they were actually being nice to each other. Sena's comment about wanting to laugh it off together was revealing.
As for the negative traits, Sena has always been shown as that type of extreme person, did you forget the way she treats boys other then Kodoka?

To me it came across as two girlfriends getting together to pull a prank on somebody. The gullible one is not only blamed and punished for being gullible, but the apology she gets makes it even worse (Were they actually trying to be apologetic because as far as I can see they were just trying to make it worse). Sena's comment about wanting to laugh it off was revealing. If only the very thing it reveals about her wasn't thrown right back in her face...

As for the way she treats other boys, to be honest I actually did forget until you reminded me. It's always been informed and i can't even remember the last time they were mentioned. Is that bizarre group of followers even a part of her life any more? In any case, I'd say there's a difference between treating a group of masochistic adulators like they bizarrely want to be treated (an informed attribute that's linked to an aspect of her that she'd like to fix) and becoming a perverted stalker that masturbates whilst planning revenge (an attribute needlessly inserted in there so that it supposedly justifies whatever crap she's given).

One of the worst OP's I've heard. The animation at the beginning of the OP was nice.

I personally like this OP better than the first one, which was just horrible to listen to. It's still not really good though.

Or sometimes, things are exactly what they appear to be. I seriously can't offer any other explanation for what she's doing, so if you beleive something else is going on, by all means enlighten me as to what that is.

This is the learning curve in Haganai. After all this show tells how you can make real friends... ;)

Sena is the gullible girl who reacts extremely to everything that breaks her happiness. She runs away crying if she gets bullied or if her trust in other people was broken. This is something no one should do if you really want friends.

I'd say it's not directly masturbating, she just has her hand down there cause it feels good for some reason.

Laying on her bed holding and smelling an old wig that belonged to Yozora while wearing sensual lingerie. What else?

Masturbating is a stretch. That was never implied or shown.

She always dress like that on home, just look what kind of outfit had when Kodaka went to her place :heh:.

That's the thing with "imagination" though. Not shown maybe, but it's certainly implied if only by her hand movement, and the "trained mind" can conjure up fantasies by that alone :heh:. At the very least what she's doing is already on a perverted scale, mere onani wouldn't do much to worsen that :heh:

A full body sweater with an apparent lack of underwear. What is it with women who dress so sensually and then complain that men give them attentive gazes anyway? That's just.....dumb.

After all - she recovers her happiness and refreshes herself for the next day. This is the only weapon in her fight against Yozora - her happiness. :)

She is the daughters' headmaster and she has much power and could get rid of Yozora within a minute but she actually wants to win fair and square.

Finally got around to watching this. :uhoh:
Kodoka should just take Sena already, he's already prepared with tools from the maid and her father is trying to ship them together. :p Well, if Sena wasn't so obsessed with Yozora, Kodoka might've seen it appropriate to approach Sena with such intentions. :p

This episode was a little lewd what with all the spanking and masturbation and what not.

I recently got into the first Season and finished it and I was like "I wonder when the second season is going to come out?" and would you believe it? the day I thought that a new season was announced.

The little nun girl Maria is growing on me, she's cute. :)

Sena episode right off the bat? Now that's how to start the season!

Stealing Kodaka is the easiest revenge against Yozora.

Sena's already got the body and looks to do that.

Strong start for the season, really hope they'll be able keep this up.

Oh, musn't forget purple-eyed Sena, now that was fun. But I tell you what I'm really after, I want to see some Kate. I've been so interested in the girl who gave Maria that mouth, ah just anticipating Kate's appearance is making me we-... nervous. Yes, nervous. Anxious, jittery :eyespin::heh:

By the way Kobato's dancing was hilarious. Poor bunny gets tossed halfway across the room :heh:

After watching the first episode, I'm reminded of how much I loved this series, as well as how much I couldn't stand Yozora. I don't think that will change. Wasn't all that happy with Kodaka telling Sena's father she's not being bullied, when she actually is (by Yozora) and then saying he'll protect her, when in the end he just turned the other way while it was happening.

I don't think she is a masochist. I had suspicions of it, but she got honestly angry when Yozora went full sadist with the suntan lotion during the beach episode in season 1, so that ruled ot out for me. Would out of left field in my mind if she becomes a maso-lesbian and ruin the vitriloic friendship she had with Yozora, who honestly, is not far off delusion-wise IMHO.

I've deliberately avoided reading the manga since I'm kind of late to the party with this series and after watching this first episode and all of the previous 13 over a feverish day and a half have come to thought:


No matter who Kodaka picks he'll suffer. If he picks Sena we may never see Yozora again or she'll make his life hell in other ways. If he picks Yozora then Sena will suffer and it appeared that her father thought their relationship was going inevitibly towards a coupling. Even the butler got that.


But I had another thought about Yozora:

We know a lot about Sena's family, where she lives, her father and family situation. We don't know anything about Yozora yet. Nothing. If Kodaka ends up with Sena things might go smoothly and he could mitigate some of her more prissy tendencies. But if he ends up with Yozora we have no idea. We don't know a whole lot. I hope we find out more.

Or am I just overanalyzing what's basically an ecchi humor series with the occasional serious moment?
