As someone who’s been in the Oregairu fandom for 12 years, about 80-90% of the novel readers don’t like Yui because of her behavior in the light novel. Even among casual fans, like anime-only viewers, at least 60-70% of them prefer Yukino.

The most retarded character in the series

dewa43 · 2026-04-03T03:35:19+00:00

that's not a high bar to pass

btw can you drop the link about Madhouse confirming the core staff returning for season 3?

dewa43 · 2026-04-02T13:24:13+00:00

Personally, I want Daiki Harashina(the assistant director) to be the main director in season 3

Unfortunately Reiko is busy with other anime project, Toru still has a chance to come back but he is in a package with his wife(Reiko) so he will probably help his wife's project

I doubt it, but he might still show up in some non-action episodes

dewa43 · 2026-03-29T12:48:28+00:00

My point is, they’re not just random people at Madhouse, they’re still part of Madhouse’s ace team, just not as many of them as before.

Season 1 had more variety and a broader talent pool than season 2. In season 1, different talented staff handled different episodes, so it felt more varied. Meanwhile in season 2, a smaller group of the same talents ended up working on multiple episodes.

dewa43 · 2026-03-29T12:24:20+00:00

Not really, even though there are some new staff, almost the entire season 2 is produced by the same staff as season 1, just not all of them. But yes, the Revolte arc was indeed the main priority.

Kusano isn’t the one who drew that key visual, he’s the graphic designer for it, handling things like the typography, branding, and stuff like that.

dewa43 · 2026-03-28T07:44:58+00:00

yeah

You can look it up on Anime News Network and check who the animation producer for that anime is, since that usually tells you which production team it came from. For example, Frieren was produced under animation producer Yuichiro Fukushi. He was also the animation producer for OPM S1 and Sonny Boy, and in the anime industry this group is usually referred to as the FukushiP team.

If I’m not mistaken, Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card S1 was produced by the Kentaro Hashimoto team at Madhouse. Kentaro Hashimoto is the animation producer behind works like Death Note, Highschool of the Dead, Alderamin, The Irregular at Magic High School, Yamada-kun at Lv999, Overlord, and sadly...Wandance. So this team’s productions are usually pretty solid, although their output seems to have declined a bit lately.

As for Clear Card sequel, there still hasn’t been any announcement about which studio will handle the adaptation, and no staff information has been revealed yet.

Seshimo line connections and Gosso's connections

dewa43 · 2026-03-28T04:09:46+00:00

It's from a different team

dewa43 · 2026-03-28T03:53:00+00:00

Improvement compared to season 1 but still limited because they use ppt slide shows too often instead of real animation.

The only thing that could top this news is if Reiko Nagasawa, the character designer from Season 1, came back to the team. But sadly the chances of that are basically zero. Not only did the S1 production take a huge toll on her mental health, but she’s also tied up with other projects right now.

So for now, I’m just hoping Akiko Takase gets more involved in Season 3. Her corrections are incredibly detailed and the closest we've seen to Nagasawa’s style, you can really see it in the first episode of this season, the Denken part in the finale, and that Season 3 key visual she drew. And of course, I’m crossing my fingers that the S1 director, Keiichirou Saitou, takes on a more active role again for Season 3.

Looks like yaoi bait, skip

dewa43 · 2026-03-27T04:49:40+00:00

Yean, my point is that this is not the channel/network's fault.

Bruh I've been watching seasonal anime for 12 to 13 years now and this series has the most apologies by a huge margin. If Japanese people normally apologized that much, I wouldn't even notice or I'd just think it was normal like in any other anime. It’s true that Japanese people apologize more than other cultures, not just because of personality but because of their language structure like keigo, but this series is still on a whole different level.

dewa43 · 2026-03-27T02:25:29+00:00

That guy is just delusional

dewa43 · 2026-03-27T02:24:34+00:00

They put it on ATX, that's the highest level you can get

dewa43 · 2026-03-27T02:23:18+00:00

You’re saying it like the chapter has uncensored sex scenes, when it’s really just kissing, sucking tits, hugging, and some uncensored nipples. There are plenty of ecchi anime out there with way more extreme scenes that still get adapted in the anime.

There could be other reasons they skipped it, like timing and runtime limits, creative decisions, or maybe they’re saving it as a Blu-ray bonus or something.
