Um, I guess I am the only one who is even remotely excited about this, since there's been rather a dearth of discussion for this series recently.

Anyhow, the sequel to last year's Birdy Decode premiered. Cast and crew are same as before.

Director: Kazuki Akane
Chief AD and character designer: Ryochimo
Script: Hiroshi Ohnogi
Animation production: A-1

OP by NIRGILIS (remember them from Eureka 7) is a nice forgettable song.
ED has typical Ryochimo animated GIF-style doodling. 8)

Anyway, the new villains seem pretty tough and OP hints at MOAR GOMEZ, which is always awesome. In fact, seems like Gomez would be getting fairly up-close and personal with Birdy (or maybe it's one of the villains, I am not certain). Though, the big bad thing they are after is still Ryunka. Ugh... couldn't they come up with something new?

There are also loli-Birdy flashbacks a-plenty.

Animation is the same as before. Which is great.

ep 1 was good, this show just seems to get better and better

Nope. I just thought we'd end up chatting about the show in the season one thread --- it's been happening like that recently.

Thanks for the thread though. Looking forward to the first episode.

the 2nd half of the first season was kind of disappointing (but still good enough), but I'll still watch.

Deathkillz · 2009-01-09, 22:32

Putting us back into the swing of things it is great to see Shion de arimasu again

Spoiler for ep1:

karinvampire · 2009-01-09, 22:35

Senkawa seems to have calm down and hopefully this season will focus more on birdy

The ed was great but op I kinda gotta get use to,first op was better.

xizro345 · 2009-01-10, 03:31

Animation quality was way down though, given certain episodes in the first series were already bad I'm not holding my breath. Also, seems they dropped Gomez completely and while I can understand the idea (so they can focus on this story), I hate characters that simply disappear without an explanation.

-Sho- · 2009-01-10, 11:21

No sub yet right ? Its already out with the prologue !

Excellent, the more Birdy stuff the better, I also really like the animation, the style is wonderful for the series.

For many people, emotional problems don't have logical solutions.

Anyway, anyone else in a constant flow of "aaaaw" at the ending?

Utils · 2009-01-13, 21:46

I don't know, man, the first did not live up to the OVA at all. There was nothing special or unique or even interesting about the last season.

xizro345 · 2009-01-14, 04:02

I personally think the OAVs were terrible and not that funny (besides, those were based on the old manga that Yuki discontinued). THe only issue I had with DECODE was that the Tsutomu-Birdy relationship was basically put aside after half series.

Keroko · 2009-01-14, 06:32

I certainly hope this whole 'Birdy's childhood friend' gig wont result in the same thing happening again.

Zelda1 · 2009-01-17, 01:47

I love Birdy, and the thought of more Shion stuff makes me happy.
Senkawa has always struck me as a basically decent guy, who thinks of Birdy as more of an older sister, then as a romantic interest.

JediNight · 2009-01-17, 05:17

Wow the sub quality from Aoshen for Ep1 was pretty terrible. Misspelling Ropongi and calling Tsutomu as Tsunami on the answering machine message were retarded mistakes. Nagasuki instead of Nakasugi ... did they do any editting or spellcheck on this AT ALL? ><

I also noticed the drop in overall animation quality for S2. And judging by the pretty darn good quality A1 did with Kannagi, I can only imagine it's a budget thing.

Also -- I wonder what Senkawa is going to do now. Birdy said that his body was damaged beyond repair. Doesn't that mean he's doomed to eventually merge or take over Birdy's body? Or are they going to create him a new Altarian body or something? lol...

Shiroth · 2009-01-17, 07:48

Such a shame we didn't hear Arita Shion de arimasuuuuuuu~, though there's still time for that.

Spoiler for Episode 01:

Ashlotte · 2009-01-17, 12:09

Eh I'm pretty neutral after watching the first episode pretty much like I was towards season 1...It had its moments, but nothing that really made much of an impact.

Hopefully less senkawa stupidity will put this one above last season at the very least.

Yeah, Aoshen doesn't really seem to have quality control. They were like that the whole of first season.. Sorta had to make up the actual names from all the errors.

And typical of A1 Studios when the action takes place in the dark, it STAYS IN THE DARK. God, that irks me so much.

And I really wonder about the bodies thing, because they're basically stuck at the moment. They'll have to get around to the explanation phase again.

Well it's not like the killer is going to turn the light on first, is it?

Suddenly we have the intrusion of an osananajimi who is quite good looking. Senkawa obviously is still hung over Nakasugi but the damned fool doesn't even notice that he is trapped inside a beauty Plus he is still dumb, LOL at him being run over by a truck. __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS

Spoiler for Episode 01: Pretty good set-up episode for the new season, though i'm just glad to have it back. It's pretty funny how it actually hasn't been that long since the first season, though it feels like a year has passed. I've missed Shion's way of speech so much. Should a fun character. Hoping for some Gomez action in this season. __________________ MyAnimeList Twitter
