I can't wait til someone in the near future reinvents this as a real thing.

I want to fly in the sky too... would be so much easier then walking to places.

There are a lot of currently unknown technologies we would need in order to create something like those shoes. I don't think "near" future is a likelihood for that.

...I totally want them too.

Meh, we just need to invent or discover Anti Grav particles. (like how we invent certain elements for certain things... nukes... ppls didn't think you could build a bomb that huge, but we did)

Episode 2:

Wow. Misaki won the match clean sweep without losing a single point. My guess is that
My guess is that Asuka is only able to use that move when she is truly motivated with a reason rather than to win. Previously, she was fighting for something but this time, she was only competing to score points/win. The OP song is okay and has a serene feeling to it similar to the ED. Also, their club house looks...um, underwhelming? Lol.

Misaki best girl

[DragoonKain3]

Wow, I'm actually surprised how little screentime the MC got. Heck, half the episode it was basically the girls themselves, with them being recruited, practicing and then going shopping. Seems like the focus here is the sport itself while the characters and their relationships is secondary. Kinda weird considering this is an eroge adaptation, but I like it.

Still Reiko is best grill! She actually accepted that defeat pretty gracefully, which is not what I was expecting of an ojou-sama character.

Out of the main heroines, still a close call, but can't help but like Asuka's genki-ness. It would've been an otherwise mundane show, but her upbeat attitude is infectious.

@Hinata: If you can tell that she's doing something wrong, FRAKKING SAY SOMETHING!

@Irritating club leader: Shut up and get off my screen. Spirit is not the answer to everything. Or even most things.

@Girl in the window: Learn to close your curtains after the first time, for crying out loud.

[Blueknight78]

man really kudos for the writer of this anime, he really a genious in really make a refreshing anime, is really different see a anime where the MC is not the focus and the plot(in this case fly) is more important without also counting the girls which are "less generic" and actually have personality and don't live only orbitating the MC, really is really awesome see a soo different show, that is one of the few animes which really looks cool and is not just about mc rising flags which every girl and the plot is secondary i'm really hooked on that and look foward next episodes I just hope they keep things like that and don't go back to "generic route" it's really time to have more "non generic animes", i'm really tired of too much generic.

I'm not sure if it's refreshing or just a sign that the summary was wrong and Asuka is actually the MC. Can you really be the main character when you aren't...a main character?

I bet probably we gonna get more of the mc now since he finally joined, We still must deal with the MC issue toward the flying and circus, then he probably will become more important now, but is really interesting to see a show where actually the girls can take decisions without need the "nice guy mc" to help them, just see all the girls joining the club by they own will without have to relly on the guy was really something which i was not expectating, normally is when the "mc join" the club which all his harem move with him" but that episode showed pretty much with the plot can actually move without the guy, the girls actually have motavations and that don't need the guy to make then move at last for now, I really wish they keep it like that.

I'm not saying which i don't want the guy being important but i really want to see the girls shiny without need the "guy" power to do it i could even care less for "romance" if they keep the focus on Asuka and he traning her to become a star in flying circus.

This episode was more than enough to make a little interested in the game that episode was really powerfull on that.

[Blueknight78]

wow so hate, I really don't feel that "retard" you are speaking neither "stupid girls", I as a MAN prefer this much more than a stupid cliche harem where everything is around mc and girls are just generic brainless and the only way to things happen is if the mc do something.

I hated muv luv as he started to turn in just a stupid erogue harem setup later and the focus of the monsters started to diminish in favor of clich erogue.

Not everyone only thing with the "head of the bottom"
All is really about tastes.

[Master_Yoma]

Masaya seems easy enough to give in to Asuka and Misaki not really a morning person well at less Mashiro have fun with her

[ghost013]

Despite the harem tag, there's hardly any harem or even romantic development happening in these last two episodes. Most of the focus is on the girls which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the main character is just sort of there.

Agreed on both points.

SERIOUSLY @ all of those. I mean, geez...

Claimed by yours truly.

That udon girl is lucky to peek at Misaki every morning.

That Minamo imouto at the Grav-shoe shop is kawaii as well. Hope we see more of her.

All the girls dress so nicely in their casual clothes, even the imouto(which I couldn't get a good look at since she keeps hiding behind the mannequin).

Funny, the old school bus is used for their FC clubroom.
It seems the bus is all gone in that world.

Whatever happened to Hinata between FC, of course it happens to some people.

And Hinata by now should tell the neighbor to close the curtains, will there be a third mistake?

It'd certainly be an interesting surprise to see an eroge anime adaptation where the PC doesn't become the MC.

[R.LocK]

''Hidan No Aria AA'' is the best example of how a good series may be destroying, lack of screen time and change of the focus of Kinji for idiots girls, destroyed the anime, making it unbearable to watch.it seemed that you were seeing another generic anime with stupid girls doing stupid things.

HnA:AA was the best thing in the entire series that went for far too long. Not exactly well-animated, but you can't say that the adaptation of original was well-animated either.

Clearly it will be another failure of both sales and audience, like Hidan No Aria AA'

It's unlikely to be a hit, but claiming it is a failure just because you're so allergic to cute girls being cute is just so arrogant and spiteful. Personally, I'd rather have genki Asuka on the screen over another moody one-note male-MC with oh so sad past trauma.

[Wandering Soul]

The team is stating to come together and we'll have to wait to see who they go up against and how everyone grows thanks to the competition.

The real question though is if that girl in the window will ever learn to close her curtains. It's really not that hard.

Half correct
The main writer of Aokana was indeed a writer of Grisaia but not the main writer overall but just Yumiko's routes (including the after story in Meikyuu)

all I saw in these two episodes, it was stupid girls doing stupid things, like any other garbage yuri anime.

You know, this is so far faithfull to the original VN. Kind of your own fault for expecting a totally different genre than you were expecting.

Who only wrote Yumiko's route, which was according to most people also one of the weaker routes

Difference here is that the anime is also promoting various merchandise(like from the most recent comiket and the previous one) and the vita game. I don't think it was aiming for high sales to begin with

What would be a real lack of respect with the VN fan and the author of the work.

The original VN had more routes than just Asuka's, although i have to be honest Asuka's route was likely the best. Plus calling it non canon is just silly. Alot of VN adaptions made some changes along the line, to fit it in the story due to various reasons. None are 100% accurate, not even the highly rated ones like Fate UBW or your own example of Grisaia (which the anime heavily butchered the Grisaia no Kajitsu heroine routes )

And not written exactly like the VN is not entirely correct beause the anime director and the scenario writer of the game likely have some minor differences how they envisioned their projects. Plus you have the difference of transitioning a visual novel (AKA written with alot of words with some CG's and BGM's) into a full audio visual anime

And finally, the 18+ aspects were mediocre. There was not much on the H-scenes and felt tacked on because they were mostly there to ensure sales because all ages game tend to sell less (like Sprite's previous game ImaImo, which sales did ok but not great )
