Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT - Episode 12 (End) Discussion / Poll

[ellessarr]

about anime and LN ending this is a selfish guilt of the writer for what i know the LN was spectated to end in volume 8 or 9, but due to the "high sales" of the LN, anime and senas toys(her action figure sales like coke(who today is more consumed even than water) is at last double or triple of all others girls) him/her changed the mind to "increase" the length of the LN "milking" it. then i still believe who we gonna see even new girls like the student concil president aiming for him, maria sister(she is really a nun O.o ?????), and new others gonna pop up until the finally the otakus get tired and sales go down.

the perfect exemple is the volume 9 being delayed because author is rewriting(because was spectated to being the last) to can write more volumes.

She just got friendzoned what do you expect

Ahaha, that roof scene! The "battle" felt so out of place, but since Rika makes such a cute final boss I'm willing to let that go. She's one hell of a friend, and she should be more than that..so here's to hoping that an eventual third season will go down Rika's route.

Satisfying episode, though it lacks a sense of closure. It's great that Kodaka finally admits he has friends, but the story's only just beginning.
Oh, and good riddance Yozora

Yep. They did the same thing with the series finale of the original, though I remember it being much more overdone and annoying there. (As if the first opening theme wasn't hard enough on the ears already...)

Well, sure. I would guess that your parents are worth more than 99 percent of the trash that wanders the hallways of your average high school...

Kodaka, you might think yourself spineless and cowardly, but it takes a pretty strong-willed guy to avoid hitting that like the fist of an angry god, all in the name of protecting your friends' relationships. Sena is fuckable as fucking fuck.

I found it strange how lightly the matter was treated. Yozora's very depressed about something and leaves the group - seemingly with the intention of doing so permanently - and then a merry little jingle starts playing right afterwards, and Kodaka gives a flustered sort of laugh? What. Why is something so somber almost played for comedy.

Yeah, we can save that for the illustrious sequel to I Don't Have Any Friends; I Don't Have Any Fuck Buddies, where the Neighbors Club, tired of their platonic relationships and wanting to upgrade to something else, start experimenting with each other and anything else with a dick or vagina. Coming to a TV station near you!

[MasterChief_Halo]

At the end scene...for a moment I thought Yozora was gonna jump off the bridge lol. Poor Yozora. She built the club for him and her and things turned out this way. Oh well, can't wait to see what new things happen to them next season or volume.

[D-KLAC]

s2 finale

kodaka give bit hiding from neighbor club go help student council pres & small red yet seem fine til yukimura appear mention going while kodaka left.

so after quick talk with yukimura time for kodaka face his fears aka rika with her metal balls of fury give reason you stink speech on kodaka.

even kodaka admit give be nice guy if was harem anime he would help all in after all those balls hits, rika's speech, etc kodaka & rika patch all fine.

yet now for sena but til here come wham line call with yozora take a leave going a journey/soul searching/answer that she need to find & that leave door open for s3?

Now that I think about it, I think this is Yozora conceding to the other girls. By leaving, she admits defeat on winning Kodaka.

That's what I'm feeling at least. What put the icing on the cake was how well he gets a long with Rika, and how she witnessed them becoming friends.

[Azuma Denton]

What kind of finale is that??!!!
Arrrgggghhh...
Only Kodaka and Rika gets the good part. Congratz, now you both are friends.
What about Sena? Her confession still havent replied.
What about Yozora? Still sulking about 10 years ago.


Arrrggghhh....

Especially when you consider this is the EXACT reason Kodaka did what he did to avoid an outcome like this...

I think the author might not know yet what he plans to do with that scene, so just tried to at least end it on a somewhat lighthearted compared to a Code Geass Season 1 style ending lol.

[Alhazred]

It might be a 'hedging their bets' ending, where they're not sure they will get green-lit for an OAV or a third season (or how far in the future it would be if they were) so they tried to give it an end that could potentially stand on its own. They had Kodaka and Sena give a 'Oh, that silly Yozora!' sort of reaction, and then had Yozora look over her shoulder at the last moment, to imply that they might have found her again immediately while leaving it vague enough that they can still tack on more if they get the go ahead.

[Kyouka]

the last episode OP are awesome with the added sound effects

[larethian]

That fight LOL! Rika is goddamn overpowered! I personally think it's good that they didn't go for an original end.

[frivolity]

Spoiler for Comparison to the novel:

Interestingly, the final scene between Kodaka and Sena didn't actually occur in the novel. The novel only had Kodaka telling himself during the roof scene that he needed to give Sena an answer, before cutting straight to Yozora's POV.

The author did have some control over the anime though, so it's possible for that scene to be planned for the next novel.

I strongly believe this to be the case as well, but I'll go even further to say that he might not even know what will occur in the next novel, seeing as the novel's release has repeatedly been delayed.

[Crackabad]

100% sure i want a Rika ending now
Favorite character all season.

That is why they better make a 3rd Season now. :D

[SquaredCircle]

To all those who have read the last chapters of the LN (in japanese) that haven't been translated by Vexed, what was left out, what was added (if something was) to this season finale?

[Marcus H.]

Kodaka decides to rub shoulders with the Student Council in an attempt to divert his attention from the Neighbor's Club, and he ends up admiring President Hinata's personality. However, this was quickly taken care of by Rika, who used that embarrassing experience he had with Rika when she was sick as a bargaining chip to force Kodaka to admit his weakness.

After quite a ridiculous battle, Rika successfully manages to make Kodaka admit that they are truly friends. Meanwhile, Yozora has lost everything in that battle and leaves behind every one.
____________________________



Wow. The ending was really great. It gave Kodaka some plus points for me for his response to Rika's physical and verbal attacks against him, although I have to admit that Kodaka still made a mistake in assuming that he had maintained the status quo with his reaction. (I also think that Rika was so close to hospitalizing Kodaka with those balls.) I was also proud of Yukimura's reveal about her reason for staying by Kodaka's side. (At least she has already decided on that, I support her very much.)

Poor Yozora, though. She has lost a lot of things throughout this second season — childhood friend status stolen by Sena, and true friend status by Rika.

Anyway, I'm very relieved that Rika and Kodaka are officially friends. Now, I hope Kodaka decides to be honest with the relationship he has with the others.
