AKA Bocchi the A Capella

Episode is out
>[ToonsHub] Harmony of Mille-Feuille S01E02 1080p AMZN WEB-DL DDP2.0 H.264 (Utagoe wa Mille-Feuille, Multi-Subs)

I'm enjoying this show a lot more than I expected

Heads up: there's a v2 out that fixes the audio sync issue.

I don't think that's a real expression, but it should be.

This Ajisai lookalike is pure evil.

>>280925266
Wow, weird that it apparently dates so far back. I've literally never heard anyone use it.

>>280925421
Beware the ones with close-eyed smiles.

>>280925581
I grew up hearing it in UK tv shows all the time

>>280925421
>for fun
Like is she helping some shitposters evade on 2kan or something?

>>280925421
>Datamining her classmates
Zuck with tits.

>>280924850 (OP)
So subs are fine this time?

>>280926269
There are still missing lines, and I caught at least one line where the first half was replaced with a dupe of the second half, but they're at least watchable.

This is a perfectly healthy reaction to close contact with a youtuber.

>>280926132
She can zuck me off all right

this is so not the kind of anime I want to watch twice just to keep up with a nonexistent discussion, especially not on such a stacked Saturday
I wanted to compare it to HanaShura but then I remembered how much better HanaShura is than this
such a shame too since I was looking forward to this, maybe though just because of how romantic it sounds to compare vocal harmony to mille-feuille
they should have called it Utagoe wa Napoleon Pastry instead

>>280928021
You have a problem with French patisserie?

>>280928021
>this is so not the kind of anime I want to watch twice just to keep up with a nonexistent discussion, especially not on such a stacked Saturday
The trick is to only watch it the day after the fixed subs come out. If the thread doesn't survive until Sunday, make a new one and bump it with a few screenshots and opinions. I'll be there.
>I wanted to compare it to HanaShura but then I remembered how much better HanaShura is than this
I really wanted to like HanaShura, but it was clearly a terrible adaptation.
I don't want to rant too much, but I have self-restraint, so here goes:
The VAs articulated most normal dialogue as if they were reciting, complete with unnatural pauses and announcer-like didactic affectation, so the actual recitations didn't contrast enough to stand out. Most scenes had no BGM, but didn't use the resulting dead air purposefully, for example, by using close-mic voice recording or extra detailed foley to establish intimacy or tension.
The main plot only really kicked off in episode 7, with a club trip to a performance that could have easily taken place in episode 2 or 3, where it would have served as a much more striking introduction to the art of recitation and Hana's confidence issues than what we got.
Most of the early hints about Hana's backstory were removed for no clear reason, which lessens the impact of Shura's performance and results in her barely playing any role in this arc, despite literally being the other half of the show's title. Similarly, Mizuki was introduced as a deuteragonist in episode 1 and then sidelined for the middle stretch but we were meant to believe Hana somehow formed a deep bond with her by the end even though they didn't interact much on screen between the premiere and the finale, which ended right before the climactic competition everything was building towards.
Yes, I'm mad.

>>280928381
And by self-restraint, I mean none.

>>280928381
My plan is to just make the thread on Saturday.

>>280925421
How does that even work. You can't pull that off without the school giving you permission. It's the "my grandpa is the school chairman" trope isn't it.

>>280928381
Sunday is even busier than Saturday tho
I don't want to drop Shy Hero just because some babies have so little retention for the language they're exposed to constantly that they get completely lost if even a single subtitle is missing, and for them I'm sure as hell not dropping Nyaight of the Living Cat
and your complaints about Hanashura are still terrible: the early episode pacing is whatever, but the similarities between recitation voice and anime voice (and speech bubbles containing recitation and speech bubbles containing regular dialogue for that matter) are literally what the visuals are for

>>280928918
A true hacker could easily plant access point in random closets without the janitor ever finding out because he doesn't get paid enough to micromanage those closets.

What did anon mean by this

>>280929075
You know, the bits where they're transported to another planet with the power of words, the thing the series is known for

>>280929288
I like that they bothered to visualize the recitations like that, but they didn't commit to the idea hard enough. The flow of the words and the visuals wasn't really in sync, and the scene framing usually wasn't as immersive as the poems suggested.
The switch between regular scenes and recitation visuals was also a bit too abrupt. It never felt as if the recitations had any emotional effect on the characters who saw it happen.

Now you're asking for Disney's Fantasia from Studio Bind, which I'm sure they could do if you gave them enough budget, but they might still be reluctant because there aren't enough lolis

>>280929547
It's not really a studio or budget issue and more of a director and main creative staff issue.
Most of /a/'s favorite studios could've probably done a better job. It always felt as if Bind treated the show as a portfolio project more than a passion project.

>>280929051
Your hacking skills are kinda irrelevant since as soon as students caught wind of free wifi the news would be all over the school, the teachers would find out and do something about it.

>>280929718
>the teachers would find out
True.
>and do something about it
Why? To be the nail that sticks out? To make their own students hate them?

>>280929775
The nail that sticks out is obviously the wifi and whoever set it up. No way in hell would the adults let some random student introduce a big change like that without their permission.

>>280930227
>>The nail that sticks out is obviously the wifi and whoever set it up.
Not until someone admits that they noticed it, which would cast the school in a bad light.
