Don't do this. It will only make a group of fans sadder.
I checked anikore and it seems fans in Japan actually loved the episode against the popular belief that they watched it for Kumiko x Reina. It proves that more people loved it for the story than the romance in it. I have said time and again and now it has already been proved that Kumiko always loved Shuuichi. Fans failed to notice her affection because of how her character is. I can list at least 10 situations that was shown in the anime that got overlooked by fans at large. I always said don't quote the conversation of the script-writer because it was intentionally misleading.

Haven't seen it yet but the reactions of the primary Japanese audience has been remarkably tame, majority of the eventual internet whining will almost definitely be from the tangential Western audience.

You can check the comments in KyoAni's youtube channel or Hibike's twitter. Most of the comments from Japanese fans are positive. There were even comments that they are rooting for Shuuichi because he is cute. Unlike the comments in "English" which consist of EITHER "wanting to kill a character", "they don't have any taste", "bad-writing", OR "salt is delicious", "go home KxR delusional", "waiting for the shitstorm" etc.

What is missing there is phantom world which is one of the biggest Kyoani flops in history. Spoiler for Final sells:

So, it looks like KyoAni played it 100% ... straight. Which should come as a surprise to nobody. Apparently, at least, it was not a surprise for the domestic audience, for whom this kind of thing is par for the course.
I took a look back at the first series, where I discovered that I wrote: Quote:

Well-played, KyoAni. Well played. You have satisfied expectations 100% with no deviations from the predicted course.

Just see the trend. Assuming it sells 66.6% which is the average for Kyoto Animation sequels, we are expecting 5,500 copies on average per volume for S2. Don't mention Musaigen. The story was butchered so much that we don't even want to discuss that.

Hmmm why isn't there counted the re-release? also yeah I know from first hand what Kyoani did to the source (the volumes were very cheap "for some reason"), ahhh man volume 2 and 3 were good even with all the dark sides and what happens to Mai, at least Reina was the winner, best girl. |

Finally, the shipping talk can come to an end. As expected, both sides have proven to be cancer. I'm almost glad I didn't watch season 1 live. I'm almost embarrassed to be a part of this fandom if it really has to devolve into murder threats if the show doesn't go their way. It didn't turn out the way I would want, but this is fine as well.
Thank the few of you that were talking about the show itself.
