They have to relax about this hard work vs talent bullshit. It's not like Ayano didn't put any work to get that good. It's unfair to say it's just talent. Just as unfair to say Nagisa's smash is just a product of her height. It required a lot of training, and the same goes for Ayano.
It's such a shame. The animation is good but the writing is all sort of cringe worthy. I'll give it one more episode but I'm gonna drop it if they keep this up.

Yeah. The manga isn't as dramatic at first, and it actually has the focus on the protagonist (Ayano). They changed everything. They put the focus on Nagisa, created a totally anime-original conflict for her (the hard work vs talent thing) and barely touched on Ayano. The reason Ayano joined the team is different too and much more developed in the manga. In the anime they just bullied her into joining.
I guess the anime producers are Nagisa fanboys or something. I don't know, but I'm not happy about these changes even though I'm not a purist that needs adaptation to be 100% faithful or anything. It's just some of the changes here screwed up Ayano's character. And I heard they also changed stuff about Connie, and not in a good way. Like they made her more bitchy or something. Connie was my favorite character in the manga so I'm not happy about this if true.

Well it's nice to see that the Coach will be good for more than just comic relief.
While Elena might know what's going on with Ayano and have a reason for pushing her, she's still coming off as pretty insensitive towards her friend.

Well finally nagisa stick in her a.. is gone. Romance bait or teasing between her and the teacher and yu with the curly haired guy.
let's see if I can predict ayano story for what I see in this chapter, she started to play because of her mother and got the talent, she lost against the pink haired girl, the mother is disappointed and "abandon" her and replace her with the blonde girl in the photo at the beginning, last match was against nagisa in hope of her mother be there to see her, she didn't come then ayano stopped playing. maybe too cliche? |

While this episode neatly resolves Nagisa's hangups, it's left Ayano hanging, which hurts it a little. I can't see how they could've done this any other way as it looks like Ayano's past is going to take most of the show and it'll be Nagisa's job to help her.

The problem is they made a bigger deal out of it than it was supposed to be. It's mostly anime-original content. They put her at the center and totally sidelined Ayano in the process. Ask people who didn't read the manga who's the main character and they would say it's Nagisa and I can't blame them for thinking that way because that's how the anime arranged things.
I know they'll cover Ayano's backstory at some point, but it won't change the fact they made Nagisa the central character. I also don't agree this melodramatic tone was necessary. I'm not a fan of the comedy ton of the early manga chapters, but the anime went to the other extreme which is equally bad if not worse. They didn't fix anything, and in changing a lot of material they actually broke a lot of things.

Break what? From what I've saw, there wasn't much to break and a flat soda had more tension than the manga. The manga's portrayal of the characters don't make sense if they're keeping Ayano's past with her mom the same.

No wonder I don't have a recollection of this Aragaki fake drama when I read through some of the manga. Didn't realize the drama was completely new material. My badminton friends didn't appreciate it either, but I will say this, episode 2's animations represent badminton movements very well, so I'm glad it's true to the sport.
Coach was a good coach. Very astute from his observations to hit the true cause of Aragaki's slump phase and make her enjoy badminton once more, although her classmate also made a brief remark about it too. The scene with coach and Aragaki sort of reminded me of Echizen in Prince of Tennis when he discovered his love for tennis, during his match against Yukimura. And...most importantly...I know girls LOVE shoes, but just how many pairs of badminton shoes does a high school club really need? You'd think they'd rent them out like they do at bowling alleys! Haha =p |

Even after being forced to join in the anime, Ayano still has no motivation to play competitively like the rest of the club members so the change in focus hasn't broken anything. Ayano will still meet connie (shown in the PVs)but not in the stupid way done in the manga. Also, the reason Nagisa is getting treated like a main character is because it reflects what happens later down in the manga. The author starts focusing on her a lot and at times people even forgot Ayano was the main character. Anyway, if you still don't like these changes, then should probably stick with the manga because there will be more changes like these and they are happening with the approval of the author. Just take a look at the manga editor and the producer sharing their thoughts about the episode. https://twitter.com/hanebad_gafter/s...32133409333248 Last edited by Pierrot.; 2018-07-09 at 08:26. |

Deal with Nagisa? There was nothing to deal with. We only heard that she was in a slump from another character, but we saw no effect on her character or in the dynamic of the group. It never noticeably affect her games in any way we could see so we couldn't feel motivated to see her come out of it.

Cutting Nagisa would require to restructure the entire story. She plays a huge role because the author is clearly more empathetic towards her story more than Ayano later on in the manga. Last edited by Pierrot.; 2018-07-09 at 10:33. |
