    Needless boob jiggle aside, they sure waited late in the game to introduce potential romance rival, didn't they?

    Also, this show goes strangely out of its way to show off how toned Nagatoro is- she's not traditionally cute and rounded out, she's physically fit; make no mistake.

    It's almost as if she's designed to appeal to one person's very specific tastes.

    Nanashi is a hentai artist, and hentai/doujin artists tend to put all kinds of specific details into various character designs. Doujin artists often make some of the better drawn manga out there, because they put more effort into the details and character expressions. Look at anything from Yabuki Kentaro, same deal.

    Hell, even 80s and 90s ecchi manga is bizarrely well drawn anatomically compared to a lot of current era stuff.

    I'd say that the art club president and Sakura (fluffy blonde) are more typical of doujin designs, though Nagatoro certainly falls into the swimming club type of doujins, though very notably she's actually into judo and only helps out fill out the swim club's numbers.

    And of course, being in swim club gives him the excuse to apply that "tanlines" tag.

    Episode 11

    ---------------------------------

    Hahaaaa, he's getting under her skin.
    I'm still in love with the animation and the faces and reactions.

    Even the intermission picture was great.

    Wholesome AF.

    It's very endearing that Senpai wants to draw Nagatoro in "everyday" moments, and recalling her sleeping on the couch, rather than cosplay or the avant-garde daring shit that the President paints.

    Senpai said some reeeealy forward stuff this episode, and I kinda like it. Romance and friendship at the same time, methinks.

    End


    ----------------------------------------------------------

    So I guess this is good ending.
    Not sure if a 2nd season is ever needed because they wrapped it out pretty well.
    I wouldn't mind more because it has been pretty funny overall but the reactions etc. might not cut it for another 12 episodes after what we have seen.
    The tone would've to shift quite a bit.

    Not too much. They still aren't, like, BF and GF yet.

    And I feel like she'd never stop torturing him even if they were. So...if that's what people are here for...

    But she kissed his cheek! By anime standards, she's basically married and pregnant now. Can't you smell the burning body pillows mixing with the rage of a thousand incel fans?

    Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I take back what I said about the president- she's off the table aside from some fanservice. This was a about as perfect an ending as we could have hoped for. Their relationship is clearly different than it was at the beginning- advancing beyond completely childish flirtation (but not much) to something deeper. An appreciation and outright affection that is so exploratory and shy and sweet to see.

    Nagatoro - S2 - 01


    -----------


    Really felt like they continued it from just last season. The series has a simple enough premise that they can just get away with it, and they did.

    The flavor of their relationship has definitely changed, haha.

    It feels a little cheaper in animation though.

    I thought so too.

    Difficult to say, I still have S1 on my drive. Doesn't look all that different to me.
    For now all I can see is that it isn't as "sharp" as before but more blurry.
    Facial animation (the shift between dere/tsun/silly etc.) seems to be a bit more one sided in this first episode, but that might change again.

    Episode 2

    ------------------------------------


    I'm pretty sure now that they kinda lost the range of faces they can draw? And overall, everything has so little depth to it (animation/artstyle - not talking about the story here)... I kinda dislike that .
    Season 1 common scene:

    Season 2 common scene:


    I'm not the only one who feels like in the second picture the contrast/brightness setting was basically changed, right? It's an encode from the same fansub-group, so...yeah.
    I think the background on each imagine is a good example as well.

    It's definitely gotten cheaper with less definition. The backgrounds don't really bother me because they're not the focus of the series, but the lower production values are disappointing.

    However, the voicework remains stellar.

    Eps 11

    -------

    Senpai's idea to take her to the racetrack for a date is probably the most correct suggestion there is, they're just not old enough for it.

    She'd have an amazing time.
