>>280062774I didn't hate it, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that it was an excellent showcase for this studio's talent. I understand why people compared it to Yuru Camp, but to me, it never managed to do what that show did so well. In Yuru Camp, the characters grow throughout the episodes. You could see their passion for camping develop, as well as their efforts to get jobs to sustain their hobbies and plan their trips. The show went out of its way to teach you several things about camping, allowing you to learn alongside the characters. It even justified the presence of the adult characters, which Mono never did for Haruno, and used them sparingly so the series could focus on the JKs. Mono did none of this, so in the end, it feels like Yuru Camp's first draft.
>>280063840Should've been about JCs and their male teacher
>>280063467 (OP)mono was worse than the Yuru Camp movie
>>280063660It actually is organic, no one can samefag that fast at the same time.
>>280063945The Yuru Camp movie was good.
>>280063946It's actually pretty easy.
>>280063600I wish it didn't just become a tourism ad for Yamanashi and, like others said, the characters are really bland and interchangeable. I loved the presentation and hope the studio lands a more interesting project in the future.
>>280063953It was disgusting.
Cute and sexy JKs sitting on the floor. I've always loved seeing how anime characters sit on the floor since you can see their personality.
i do not care for yamanashi
I like this closeup of Sakurako who's lazing around on the floor. Cute, rare to see, and kinda sexy.
>>280064098This ugly hag ruined the show.
Imagine what you'll be able to see if you were sitting on the floor in the same room as them.
did tajima even exist in the first place?
>>280063600It was a dishonest show
>even more paranormal bullshit in the final ep
An is striking that sexy pose.
Realistically, what are the chances of a S2?
Is it selling well?
Nagi-like school uniform Sakurako is as cute as always. Still not sure whether to take a shot of her with her mouth closed, half-open or fully open.
We Blair Witch Project now?
>>280064259Fairly high, because it was always close to the top in streaming numbers (except the hag episode). No guarantee, of course.
Sakurako has a good sense of humor.
>>280064379>except the hag episodelmao
it wasn't that bad
>final ep ends with ntr
thanks i hate it
Cameraman, please go a bit lower and closer.
>>280064431Yeah, but it took a noticeable drop, which haters saw as confirmation that mono failed, or something. It was back to popular in the following week.
Man, Sakurako has some connections.
>>280064352Why did she do it, she needs correction!
>>280063600It wasn't comfy
This scene had some quirky animation that reminds me of the ninja mansion segment.

>>280064998>always looks like assfitting
>>280064525Pretty much, shows are better when they try new things and don't play it safe.
The answer is always lewd stuff.
I was pretty rough on the show when it first started, and honestly I still am, but now that it's over I'm honestly gonna miss it. I still really like the cast and production values. This studio came off with a banger though it's no surprise with all the talent they had working on the show, and I also really loved Mikawa Haruna as the MC. Shes been working for a few years it seems and I've heard her before, but this season having two leads and doing a fantastic job in both really is nice.
>>280064525Kind of. It's a tough one to say whether or not I did. I think overall I did, though there's a ton of shit you need to ignore and some pretty brutal episodes. It ending so strong certainly helps a lot.
>>280063600What
>>280064724 said, fundamentally even assuming that the girls had no shared interests, the lack of Haruno would have made the show much better. It's biggest flaw is that the main trio, while cute and fun, are extremely lacking in terms of agency. For like 8 episodes straight, every episode plot is just dictated by Haruno telling them what to do, and while they have some say at whatever tourist location they end up going to, it makes them feel passive and eliminates a lot of their personality. This episode and the previous one are two of the strongest ones because Haruno takes a back seat and simply supports them, rather than directing them.
This episode is basically what I wanted out of this series. You just need to replace Haruno with a teacher who serves as the club advisor for the mandatory adult who drives them to locations, and you're golden.
My thoughts on the episode:
The first part was a strange mix of creepy and funny (well, kinda funny). Also cute JKs. The twist was interesting and I expected some parts of it but not Tajima not being her name or her already having graduated from the school.
The reunion with the senpai was the highlight of the finale for sure. I especially loved the scene where Sacchan reminisced her time with her new friends while they looked back at the photos and videos they had taken. There were many types of shots (360 videos, 360 pictures, normal photos, selfies, action shots, etc), newly animated callbacks to scenes from earlier episodes from different perspectives, and even a reference to the cover for volume 1.
I thought the final scene where the three girls were walking home under the evening sun was well made too. They were talking all happily as usual, but with the ED playing, and the end of the show coming closer, I felt that bittersweet melancholy.
Overall, a good finale.
>>280064525>>280062774I can only say I liked it enough. But I thought this episode was genuinely a good finale. The show started good, had some lows in the middle, but as they say, "all's well that ends well", so the finale left me with a slightly better impression of the show, so 7/10 for me. A bit better than Zatsu Tabi which started quite strong but ended quite weak.

>>280064525Of course, it was another one of the really good surprises this season. Fun, feel good characters paired with a spot on voice cast along with impressive and sometimes experimental animation. The excellent ways they squash and stretch the chracters going off model to fit the tone of the scne. The skateboarding, the giant skii ramp, the restaurant stamp rally, the horror spots, the Dam, the Winery, the ninja house. They usually did a lot with time had each episode and also went to huge variety of entertaining and memorable places. This will an easy rewatch in the future.

Later:

Fuck off, mono, you didn't earn this touching moment. You tossed the whole photography angle by the fourth episode.

I felt a bit of sadness in this scene though. The show had its faults but I'll still miss it.

Jesus Christ how scary. Fuck Bluetooth, ESPECIALLY bluetooth audio.
>>280066411Sheโs so fucking right as always, also I liked how Kako was show in the rectangle of the tatami mate right after this, thatโs just a smart and fun way to do it.

Pretty good final episode.
>>280065853Oh god, yeah that show fucking sucks. What the hell was that adaptation.
wasn't this like the second episode that had parts in the school
>>280063467 (OP)The finale was good, I much prefer this sort of character interactions in this episode and the prior one.
Overall I give it an 8/10.
>>280067663It started good in the1st season but learned quickly that the manga was too text heavy for their runtimes and cut way too much good stuff.
Shame that anime mostly lost pantyshots and even animal assholes.
>>280067151>>280067660I just had to look up why these are called "dolphin shorts" and it was because its from a swim ware brand called "Dolfin".

Superior trackball sensei.
>>280063600Afro started a photography manga then realised he actually wanted to write a food + tourism manga instead.
>>280068514If we somehow get a second season, I hope itโs more like this and nothing like episodes 3 through 11.
>>280068860More like Sucko.
That was a good last episode, but yeah, the show wasn't something I'd remember for years. And it's one of the rare cases when it's actually mangaka's fault, whereas studio did their best.
Sakurako was the only consistently entertaining character, but she was obviously designed to be a supporting role, so there was no way for her alone to carry the show.
>>280063840Afro is a liar. There were many trips and they barely used their gadgets.
>>280068860didn't think she'd be recurring so much
>>280068942Those will always be too high level for me
>>280064525Cool reference.
>>280064174Yes, but they never met her...
S2 only about ghost hunting please.
>>280069004To be fair, you do travel to see and take pictures of cool stuff along the way and at the destination. And everyone can get behind food. Going someplace scenic or cool and snapping it seems like what the club would do.
This exchange was unintentionally hilarious because we haven't seen Sacchan take any photos for like 11 episodes so her talk about how she's still "snapping away" rings really hollow and makes it seem she doesn't care about photography anymore and is just putting on airs for senpai at this point
>>280069295It's like episodes 3-11 never happened

I wish we all had pools. Then again, that would be another thing to maintain so maybe not.
The BGM at the dam is a fucking jam.

That backwards crab walk is a reference to something. I don't watch horror though so I can't place it.
Kurokuma uses a trackball. What a baller.
What cute dorks trying to act.
They didn't grab the camera?
Lol, the whole thing was a ruse. Tricky girls.
I had forgotten about her senpai entirely.
Cute dork still has the prank sign.
What a fantastic show that was. Just goes to show cute girls doing cute things is always a winner.
>>280069295Anon last episode was photo-lite, but even then we saw her taking photo's of her food and do the Evening to Night timelapse.
>>280064207I want it on my lap.
>>280069500Food photos are basic as hell. That's not photography.
>>280064318Was the other film she referenced Paranormal Activity? I don't watch much horror.

Haven't posted in one of these threads before. Why is there so much hate and vitriol for this show specifically? It's just cute girls doing things around Yamanashi, what could inspire this level of disdain? If you wanted actual cinephoto activities I'm sorry but that ship sailed 10 weeks ago
>>280072254Because fuck you that's why
>>280063600Should have gone yuri
>>280072254>? It's just cute girls doing things around Yamanashi,THAT'S EXACTLY WHY
I WANTED A FUCKING PHOTOGRAPHY AND CINEMA ANIME LIKE EP 1 NOT A GODDAMN "DUDE COME TO FUCKING YAMANASHI AND EAT ICE COVERED IN SAUCE" ANIME
that and the fucking garbage extremely out of place literal black magic devil summoning segments, what the fuck is that, completely takes you out of what is supposed to be a grounded and real world
I enjoyed Mono, it would've been better with less Haruno and the other hags and more of the JKs but we got what we got. No surprise that the last two episodes focusing on the JKs are some of the best two.
>>280072584I didn't mind the ghost stuff as much as the food obsession but it did add to the unfocused feel of the series. Give me a separate anime about cute girls hunting for ghosts instead.
The hag was fine. Maybe she should have abused alcohol more often.
>>280072584Okay the shaved ice episode did suck ass. What an absolute filler waste of 30 minutes.
>kakigoori>itadakimasu!>uwaaaa meccha umaiI thought I was losing my mind. The black magic goth loli hag is cute though, I'm just happy to see her.
I just can't fathom tuning in every week for months to get more upset with each episode because there's no camera autism.
We were advertised a show about photography, yet even the fucking manga making got more focus than the photography outside of episodes 1 and 11. If Afro really wanted to make a tourism series, he should have just done that.
>>280072674I didn't mind the paranormal stuff either.
>Give me a separate anime about cute girls hunting for ghosts instead.Now I want this.
>>280072254You have to understand that someone first decide they don't like something and then decide why, this time "people" are latching on the "muh expectations" criticism despite the fact that CGDCT have always been about random activities and the "core theme" rarely being relevant to it.
In this case you also need to understand the whole "my show is better than your show" mentality and you cannot like something without shitting on the "competition" for reasons.
Iโd still like to have some mangaka(horror) and motorcycle antics.
I thought it was really sweet in ep10 when Haru asked Kako if sheโs okay with driving hours to meet them, and Kako saying that itโs worth it to get to hang out with all of them.
>>280072834The lack of camera shit is a problem, but it's not the only one. It's a symptom of a larger issue with the series: it doesn't know what it wants to be or to focus on. If it was something like K-On where the music playing was mostly a set-piece for the CGDCT stuff, it would have been fine since at least it knew what to do. In this case, it couldn't even get that right.
>>280072867>CGDCT have always been about random activities and the "core theme" rarely being relevant to it.That being the case does not mean that it's a good thing or it's excusable. The lack of cheerleading in Narenare was a major criticism of it, for example.
>>280072254Entitled faggots
>>280072935It's literally exactly like K-On, just instead of ignoring the light music they're ignoring the cinephoto. Keion caught flak when it aired too for being about nothing, but people who wanted light music autism generally just dropped it. I feel like niche otaku have been too spoiled lately with hobby series, they've forgotten core CGDCT
>>280072981Damn, we got CGDCT wrong for decades, thank god post-covid lads are showing us the light.
>>280073080It's more like Mono could not decide if it wanted to be a photography series, a tourism series, a mangaka series, a supernatural series, or whatever. About the only thing it truly committed to was shilling Yamanashi, but everything else suffered because of it.
>>280072584>>280072834It's slice of life, retards. What the fuck?
>>280072935What I wonder is, if this was the direction Afro always wanted to take this series, why bother establishing the whole Cinephoto Club? Just make one of the girls the niece of the manga author, with the others as her friends, and have Haru ask them to be models for her new manga. The story could then focus on them driving to different locations while gathering material for it. It is so obvious that it makes me wonder if Afro initially planned to focus more on photography but lost interest in the subject along the way.
>>280073123It sound that it decided perfectly fine what it wanted to be, anything else is a you problem.
>>280072935I feel Hibimeshi doesnโt pass that smell check either if those are the parameters. Youโd be surprised on how much it doesnโt focus on the food aspect usually outside of a few scraps and a minute near the end of an episode. The only time they actually did any food research was in episode 9 with the wild game taste testing, and that was the best episode since they actually spent it main focus of the premise. I too wish that one were more like ep9 the whole way through.
>>280073123It's slice of life. It has no focus. What the fuck do you think are series like Non Non Biyori about? Farming? You stupid fuck. Your whole critique is deepy retarded and invalid.
>>280073137They took a 5 minute SoL segment and repeated it half a dozen times and called it an episode. It was NOT comfy.

>>280073182Hibimeshi focuses on food less than what Mono focuses on photography, but the real mistake here is giving this people any sort of attention but here we are.
>>280073182Momentary Lily had more food & cooking than Hibimeshi did. Kappou!
Maybe we just have to separate our thinking and parameters for shows like Mono and Hibimeshi that like to veer off from there main premise to do whatever, from shows like Teibou and Do It Yourself that spend the vast majority of their episodes on their main gimmick.
I donโt think either method is bad, but I donโt think those two groups are even trying to be in the same boat as eachother.
>>280073337Momentary Lily was not only good but actually genius by making the food aspect integral to the story and conclusion rather than making it around it, is just no on the same park to compare.
>>280073182>>280073190>>280073267It's more about the execution. Hibimeshi works because much of the stuff they did was still in the context of the club, and it had a clear focus. Yes, it did not focus entirely on it, but it had enough that you still know it's the point. It did not have to resort to juggling alternate goals like shilling Yamanashi or having a blatant Afro self-insert. Again, the issue is the fact it tried to juggle all of these aspects together, but they did not gel. Unironically, if the series was just outright a Yamanashi tourism series from the start and stuck to that, it would have turned out better.
Solid 8/10 show. Faggots seething about it are so funny.
>>280073395>It's more about the executionSo now that you conceded, stop spamming your shit. No I'm not reading further, thanks for openly admitting you're wrong.
>>280073340I've always done this. Shows that actually focus on the girls doing the niche activity premise like Super Cub and BakuOn are a modern phenomenon mostly since GuP aired. CGDCT with a vague, half-assed premise as an excuse for the girls to be in the same place are more typical, and it's not difficult to figure out which you're watching. It baffles me every time /a/ complains about a SoL show not being an otaku hobby show or vice/versa.
the lack of cinephoto club wasn't really the issue here, it's much simpler. the main issue of mono is that each episode is a hit or miss, and usually the misses have a lot of haruno focus, while the hits are more jk focused.
Is it really hard for anons to understand that, just because a series is of a particular genre means that series is immune to criticism?
Hibi mogged this shit hard. Japan agrees don't bother them about it
>>280073528You can't do this anymore. The point here being that the "criticism" in question being spammed is 100% wrong, you can pick another criticism if you want.
>>280073386>Momentary Lily was not only good but actually geniusTrue, it's really not fair to compare mono or hibimeshi to such a masterpiece
>>280073528The major criticism for this show comes from people holding it to the standards of a different genre, idiot.
>>280073502Anons here are missing the point. People criticize the show not just because the series lacks photography. It's because the parts it does focus on are unfocused and a mess. People would not mind the lack of photography focus if the other stuff was at least good, but it was mixed at best. As I mentioned earlier, the focus on tourism instead of photography is an issue, but mainly because it is a symptom of a much larger problem.
>>280073340>Teibou and Do It Yourself Super Cub is another show that comes to mind, in which the core theme permeates the entire work. In my mind, these types of shows, and shows like Non Non Biyori or Yuru Yuri, belong to two different categories, the latter two being vanilla slice-of-life shows.
>>280073567>>280073611means it *isn't
>>280073567If multiple anons have a similar criticism about a series, maybe it is a sign that it really is an issue and should not just be swept aside.
the shaved ice episode was good wtf are you anons smoking
>>280073624It was good, it not being good in your opinion has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make, you are basically shooting yourself on the foot and I don't know why.
>>280073624Nobody fucking cares, not even the retards who respond to you. They're only annoyed by your faggotry, not interested in seriously discussing your room temperature IQ bullshit.
>>280073663>muh multiple anonsSo now you admit is not even argument that can hold on its own. I know you want to have the last word so go ahead, because there is nothing to talk about here.
>>280073688>a series not knowing what it wanted to commit to, other than being a tourism anime, to the point that the main premise is ignored most of the time, is a good thing
>>280073624I think it was pretty focused at least with respect to being a Yamanashi tourism cgdct. Basically every episode save for a few had the girls specifically trying to shill some local attraction, event, cuisine or curiosity. It never explicitly said this but Yamanashi & its environs in the chubu region are the main character here
Mono was a very good show
The worst part about it was the writing and story structure. It didnt focus in enough on the initial premise and put too much on the manga schtick, leading to the show feeling a bit directionless at times. That being said, everything else about it is stellar. The characters designs and chemisty are all fantastic. The monos work so well together and with Hamusan it's just a joy to watch them interact. The animation is amazing. It's full of creativity and can blend different styles together so seamlessly that there is no gap between them. It knows how to let loose and be silly and wonky and fun, and it also knows when to tone it down and get serious with beautiful vistas and slower, more cinematic animation on our beloved monos. It's extraordinary. Very excited to see more from this new studio and will keep an eye out for anything they do. The music was also very good, but I don't have too much to say about it. It adds to tone and atmosphere perfectly for each scene. For a show that is basically "everything that doesn't fit in Yuru Campu Deltau," it had a solid foundation and can stand on its own quite well. I really hope there is a second season and that it gets better as it grows. More monos, more cine, more photo, more haruchan, more more more!
I love schoolgirls so much.
>>280073715There is nothing to discuss about, is just a person not wanting others to have a nice thread and me being annoyed that there's nothing that can stop him, but I will stop now, there's nothing else to add anyways.
>>280073667It was the same fucking thing. The girls get ice, it's good, they eat too much. Then they take the bus to get ice, it's good, and they eat too much. They take a bus to get more ice, it's also good, and they eat a lot of it. Then they get on a bus and eat different ice and it's delicious. They take the bus to get ice later and it's really yummy. They end up eating too much of it and go home, where they have ice. It's insane. I can handle watching girls do nothing, but you have to be actually braindead to watch them do the exact same thing a dozen times in a row.
I want to have sex with this actress for a home movie
>>280073809One of them is not like the others...
Tell me why the show is called Mono. I'll wait.
People here complaining that people are shitting it here because people are not putting it to the same standards as other CGDCTs, but maybe the real issue here is that anons seem to have low standards for CGDCTs in general. They often get a pass for things that would be heavily criticized with any other genre. For example, an action series about trying to beat an enemy, but most of the series is filler stuff that has nothing to do with fighting the enemy, would (rightly) be criticized for it. It seems that anons tend to accept and like CGDCTs and cannot accept that bad CGDCTs. I don't even think there's ever been a recent, modern CGDCT that anons did not like (even notorious examples like Narenare had their fans here).
>>280073807All I would ask about this show is more "nothing happens" episodes, I feel that every episode having to be a special episode just took a little bit away of that special element, like the girls just spending time at school or finding a job, etc.
>>280073912You were the Mono all along.

If you like such a show, good for you, but there is a reason why some don't.
With anime like this, there's only one question you have to ask yourself: do you have fun watching it?
If the answer is yes, it's good.
If the answer is no, look for something else.
>>280074063>If the answer is no, look for something else.Curious how the answer couldn't possibly be 'it's bad,' despite the opposite answer being 'it's good'...
>>280073807If nothing else, it had some really good animation and direction moments and used very interesting angles and shots to great effect. Wide angles and fisheyes are usually reserved in anime but they really didn't hold back. Same with some of the action sequences - the downhill action camera segment was impressive, and the ninja house had very playful camera placement. They did good work with light sources at the haunted tunnel here too. Overall the animation stood out for me much more than the writing or characters did, not that I didn't enjoy those.
>>280073923No, people are complaining because the entire time the show has been running there was CONSTANT shitposting about how much the show sucks and how haruchan is making anons commit suicide and how the yuru camp refrences are war crimes. Any amount of actual criticism, of which ive partaken in myself, is drowned out by the people who are pissing themselves over how much they hate mono and cant bring themselves to stop watching it. They ignore the good parts and amplify the bad. They're not actually intrested in critical discussion or discourse, they just WANT to he upset because they LIKE when the show is bad. Unfortunately for them, it wasn't bad most of the time. Most of the episodes are good and most of the moment to moment scenes are good. There was a weaker stretch in the middle, but as a whole it's a solid package and a good show. The writing is where it "went wrong" and it needed more focus, but the other aspects of the show did a ton of heavy lifting, which is why most of us still like it overall and are not intrested in reading and taking seriously the 500th "mono is bad" post. It's not about low standards, it's about the shitposters being disingenuous anons. I'm not going to engage honestly with dishonest people.
>>280073337Hey youโre right. GUILTY!
>>280074122>If the answer is no, keep obsessively shitposting and try to convince others that it's bad, hoping they stop enjoying it, because you're a miserable asshole.I fixed it to say what you're doing.
>>280074176Kek
People dont think it be like it is, but it do
>>280074150I was also speaking in general because I've seen it with other series before. CGDCT is weird here in that it's a genre that is guaranteed a fanbase here no matter what, a fanbase that seems loathe to admit that not all CGDCTs are gems. I like CGDCTs too, I have my favorites, but it's like it's come to a point that anons like every single one of them and claim that every single CGDCT is good. That's not the case: stinkers exist too, yet even the stinkers get defended.
>>280064078How do girls sit like that
>>280074282Maybe their butt hurts
>>280074263That's because "good" or "bad" aren't objective, not in this genre.
>>280074282Aerobics every morning
If Hibimeshi didn't do food, and I assume it didn't do tourism because it's not hated, what exactly did it do?
>>280074391It did food-adjacent things and stuck to one lane, instead of lacking focus or dwelling too much time on unrelated stuff like manga making.
Is there anything that can stop her?
>>280074263I agree with you there. I'm sure many shitty ones exist. Where I disagree is when people say mono is shitty
Again, I think mono is very good because I look at the whole package. Everything apart from the writing was fantastic. It was kneecapped heavily by the writing, enough to keep mono from being great, but the damage it did was nowhere near enough to tank it down to being a bad show like the shitposters would have you believe
>>280074391It did comfy right
>>280074282They dont have a penis and balls that would get crushed under the weight of their body
>>280074391People also forget that Hibimeshi is an original by PA Works, a studio that shits out boring garbage more often than not. So the expectations were way lower for it
>>280074391Had likeable characters doing things together.
>>280074513Mono already did this.
>>280074391But it did do food
It did food every episode and had a variety of other things to supplement
The character designs and chemisty was where it really shined though. Each character was perfect, so it was a joy to watch them do anything
>>280074533Hags are not likeable.
>>280074505Sure, but the studio being Penis Ass Works is canceled out by the fact the creative leads of Non Non Biyori were at the helm, so expectations were neutral
I feel like expectations were higher for mono because yuru camp is so beloved tho
>>280073667It was better because it had more fun JK interactions. Being driven around everywhere by Haruno isn't as interesting as watching the girls travel by themselves.
>>280074602Haruchan is very likeable. I like the other hags, too, but not as much as the monos
>>280065505That I want to breed the sheep while the mono makes cicada noises in my ear. Then they switch places.
>>280074505>a studio that shits out boring garbage more often than not.
>>280069098You get used to it pretty quick. My mouse is a wii nunchuck looking thing with a trackball on it called a Relacon. Max comfy.
>>280074063what if the answer is mixed?
>>280074907Obviously
>>280074176 becaus eif something is not perfectly good, you should sperg out as hard as possible.

>>280074658I also think haruchan is likeable but she's not fun. her only fun scene was the curry frenzy, other than that I felt like she was more a hindrance to the girls doing their own thing. maybe she'd shine in another setting

The final episode finally bringing senpai back provided a good bookend to the start where senpai's leaving left ourgirl in SHAMBLES. Now we have a story: a senpaisexual girl whose only trait was being senpaisexual left on her own.

>>280077234Same, I need my fix
>>280076505I'm having thoughts...
We need an OVA of everyone bumming around in Haru's room.
The scene where Nadeshiko is revealed to be the winner of the eating contest would have been a lot funnier if that was the first and only time she appeared.
The background voiceless cameos somehow felt more in-your-face than the scene where the cameo is front-and-center.
>>280077714And one of Haru masturbating while she forgot about the camera. And again when An is alone and forgot about it.
>>280077796And one of Sakurako who didn't forget about it.
>>280077751My wife would not wear that. I want to see Kurokuma in it
>>280075430She's one year older than them, i think, so I guess third year since shishim was still able to use her name for the club as the 4th member
https://youtu.be/mSoa1b-yBUY?t=55
Me whenever I enter a mono thread, one last time...
>>280078149She's one of the senpais who graduated, so she would be two years older than them.
>>280078216If she graduated she wouldn't have been able to be used as the 4th member for the cinephoto club since the school would have told them they cant use graduates
Think anon
Think
That was a pretty fun last episode. I'm gonna miss it
>>280078216The gay one graduated, 2 years older, the other gay one is a third year, 1 year older, is not rocket science, the straight ones are second years.
>>280078334I was under the impression that they fabricated the existence of a Tajima-san in order to fill the four member quota, but I guess I missed the part where she explicitly mentioned she's a year above them during the video call.

>>280078334The senpai is Inomata who was a regular member. Tajima showed up for two club meetings and hasn't been seen since. And there's only one person named Tajima in the school who Sakurako didn't recognize.
Also, closed-eyes, easygoing, cat smile. Should have known it was a prank.
>>280072867Pretty much this.
It's a common and fundamental retardation in humans that is extremely prevalent.
The internet just amplifies it to an extreme degree.
Feel first, lock that in, rationalize feelings after regardless of anything. That pretty much sums up a scarily large percentage of people.
>>280078535Pretty sure the school wouldn't let them get away with making a fake student, but what do I know?
See you lot in the Turkey threads
>same VA was voicing Satsuki and Satoko from the ninja anime
damn it took me the whole season to realize
Last episode was really good.
Overall the show got better and better as it went on imo.
For me, I even enjoyed the hag episode. So it was consistently uphill for me.
First few minutes of this final ep I was kinda whatever, but by the end of it I was fully hooked in and thought it was great.
In conclusion:
Mono is good
>>280063600I started watching dubbed and it's great. So of course /a/ hates it.
>>280078194Still love that episode
>>280078918To be fair she sounds a lot more airheaded and more constantly emotional in Ninkoro, so could see itโd be slightly harder to notice. Glad sheโs doing well last season for a newer VA

>>280076730WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Damn, Satsuki was so boring. Also, no Kako in the last episode outside of stock footage? Whack.

>>280079860Those ears are huge
>they added in the horror elements that were sprinkled all over the show and even showed the remaining club member
Great final episode. I love this show.
>>280063467 (OP)>Trailer didn't seem like anything at all, but it had skateboarding and that isn't very common>Picked up out of curiosity since I didn't have a CGDCT show this season otherwise>Literally came into this blind, so I had no bias from the manga or LN or whatever this was from>Ended up enjoying itThere was a severe lack of skateboarding, but otherwise it was fine. As for the cast, I can see why people harp on Haruno since she did kind of take most of the spotlight for the show. I liked her, but it's true that the rest of the cast was too passive and unimportant. It could've done things better while keeping the same feeling, but what's done is done. As a secondary with no knowledge of the source material, I'd say this is a 6.5/10. It's not amazing, but it was better than average. It had plenty of flaws, but it also kept my interest the whole way through.
Also, .5 is because of the eyebrows. Those were some fucking glorious eyebrows.
Now I finally have something I can fall asleep to tonight
