Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki (light novel)
| Warning: This post is not related to discussing pairings; I don't watch this anime for that. Already in the first half of the second season, I began to suspect that something was wrong. I expected Konno to start doing something against Izumi, but not against someone else because it seems pointless. Tomozaki asked Hinami about it, she simply replied that the whole situation fell apart like dominoes. In a way, it looked like that, but it doesn't really explain anything. I don't see any reasons why Erika would start bullying Hanabi. It seems too forced by the author. This is also indicated by how absurd the bullying was happening. Erika just bumped into Hanabi's desk every day. I was like: That's it? The fact that she bumped into the desk every day looked incredibly stupid. People could have noticed that she's either blind or uncoordinated if she kept bumping into things. What surprised me even more was that half of the class initially understood what was happening and empathized with Hanabi, but no one said anything, even though the conflict could have been easily prevented before it even started. Exactly, there shouldn't have been a conflict at all. This anime tried its hardest to depict how cruel the bullying was, but the most severe thing that happened was just a cut toy. Seriously? Is this supposed to be severe bullying? I became even more convinced: Forced drama. And then the conflict was resolved very quickly, and everyone started behaving as if nothing had happened. The entire bullying arc is just a forced reason by the author for Hanabi to change. That's it. There's no real substance to it. There's no real problem, no real conflict. This is evidenced by how quickly everything returned to normal. But despite that, it was still a fun part of the second season. Then the second half began... It all began with Tomozaki deciding to create an original production. This was explained by the need for him to put in more effort for the cultural festival. But how he came to this decision and why he decided to do it in the first place? There's no real reason. However, it later became clear why all of this was necessary: Another forced reason from the author to integrate Kikuchi into the school events, who had been outside of this all along. Throughout the second half of the second season, almost nothing happens. Most of the time, Tomozaki and Kikuchi just sit at a table and discuss the play. We're given some details about this play, told about some changes to the script, but it doesn't really matter. All these discussions about what inspired Kikuchi's story and all the debates on how to write the story better amount to absolutely nothing. It's just filler. This will be forgotten by the next season. You could just skip all these moments, and you wouldn't lose anything. The only significant event is Minmi's confession, but even that isn't really important for the most time because the consequences of this event are delayed and from the spoilers I've caught, I understand that this also won't affect the Tomozaki's decision. Tomozaki carries out tasks from Hinami, but these tasks, considering that Tomozaki is already friends with everyone, aren't challenging or meaningful. There was a moment where someone thought Hinami had one sister, but it turned out she had several. But why do I care? Overall, the entire second season feels like one big filler with a few important events and there's almost no development of the main character from the end of the previous season. A big disappointment. |
| I also felt it was a downgrade. It doesn't really focus that much on Tomozaki and his devolvement as much as I would like. But I would totally want Tama to point her finger at me.  |

| I wouldnt say its empty per se. It just lost me when it literally started to force romance |
 |
| Its just adaptation issues similar to what happened to Classroom of the Elite. I felt that many inner thoughts has been "lost in adaptation" especially on Tomozaki's side which lead us to not care much, making it feel "Boring" or "Incomplete". |
| both seasons are pretty much equally boring. |
 |
| it's shit. right? right. mimimi was only thing not shit this season. aoi and bakazaki last season. |
| Towards the end it did get kinda stale yeah. Have not seen the last episode yet though. S1 deffo better and more diverse. |
| Not reading all that but I agree 100% |
