12 episodes of random unrelated stories? It's basically just a season of OVAs.

Worst part is Season 1 had a rushed and conclusive ending.

They should've just waited and made Horimiya a 24-ep series from the start.  

This series is a mess.

There is No Major Problem in My eyes regarding the Episodes in Season 1 were also very Episodic. IT's about the relationship and the cute Moments between the Main couple, so its Not AS worse as you think imo

Wait so the new episodes that flesh out the character relationships and adapt cut scenes from the manga are bad but also the anime was rushed and should have been longer? Which is it my guy?

Like I'll fully admit to being incredibly biased, as someone who read and loves the manga it makes me giddy to see all these scenes finally getting animated like they deserved to be in the first place. I think if this season were a bunch of new anime-original scenes trying to fit inside the story I'd also be a bit more critical but like c'mon man, you're complaining about season 1 feeling rushed *and* complaining about filler in the same post, which side are you on?

Season 1 is done, nothing you can do about it anymore.  Having a bunch of random OVAs to "flesh out" the characters doesn't work when there's no continuity and is intersperse into the Season 1 timeline, it's all jumbled up.

They should've just made a straight sequel following college life or something to flesh out characters.

BUT if they were going to adapt more of the manga, they should've made SEASON 1 a 2-cour series and give it 2 part season gap.

This isn't a season per se, it cannot be. Horimya ended with the ending from the manga. It's just adaptation of stories that were not adapted in s1. There is nothing wrong in treating this season as ovas, it's literally called Pieces. As a big fan of Horimiya this is an absolute win.

I believe what you meant to say is that they should have adapted it properly to begin with, but since that's no longer possible, this "season" is fine. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Don't see any issue with more Horimiya content. Actually, they should do the same with Promised Wonderland and Tokyo Ghoul.

Exactly! ☺️ I don't get it, why if someone doesn't like something they feel obligated to go and bitch about it for nor reason. You in your post about Toradora asked a valid question and this person just went and bitch about how it's a mess.

I agree with you at this point that season 1 should be a 24ep season. But it doesn't mean season 2 is trash or mistake. Just take it as a part of season 1 and enjoy.

Lol this is not a sequel. The entire point of this is to adapt the chapters they didn't in season 1, hence the name 'missing pieces'. If you don't like it don't watch it it's for the fans who like horimiya

I like this season way more than the time ne tbh lol it makes sense to adapt the rest of the manga considering his successful the first season was. I do agree that it should’ve just been 24 episodes though.

Personally, I am enjoying it. I have finished  s1 not long ago so this seems to me like a gift to fans who miss Horimiya. 

Would it have been better if it was done differently and added to the original season? Maybe, but I wouldn´t call it a "mistake" at all. 

I would just say, watch it if you already like the story, but if you are looking at this as a stand-alone season 2, that´s just not how it works and I believe it even wasn´t supposed to. 

I am glad some side characters got more screentime because I like them just as much as the mains.

I mean, I'm not gonna complain for seeing them again. But the statement "it's just a season of OVAs" nailed it.

I don't mind a season of ova, knowing that's what I was getting into when I started it. It's still the same show, but slice of life style. If they'd left all this content in and made two seasons originally, people would complain about all the filler.

OVAs have been an important part of anime for a VERY long time. But since physical media is basically on life support, releasing it as a series instead makes the most sense.

THIS. Horimiya’s main focus is slice of life. Not romance. Manga readers were waiting for this "unrelated stories".

meh just consider :The Missing Pieces Horimiya's SoL, and let the conclusive season be the Romance.

I like Cloverwork's idea of redeeming themselves with this season, the anime's franchise is a mess now, however additional content is better than just letting the franchise rot and more studios should go this route imo

I feel the same way. I don't remember this show being so funny in season 1. I just watch the newest eposide and I couldn't stop laughing. I wasn't a fan of the friends in season 1 and now I love them as much as Hori and Miya. I love the little friend group they have.

I agree in parts. It's not a mistake itself, but HoriMiya would be thousand times better if it was a full adaptation. I like it lots but it's obvious that they wasted the potential of a hidden gem of a manga.

even if you're right, future watchers CAN just watch it in chronological order and get that experience. 

which is great.

to me how great is a series when it ends, is a lot more important than how great it is when it came out.

Problem is : Each episodes (both of the Original Season and Piece) are in reality multiples skits.
So to watch it in the original (chronological) order , it would require to switch episode every 5 minutes...

I doubt anyone does/will do that...
At that point , it's better to just read the Manga.

it doesn't have to be exact. even the original is switching back and forth.

the chapters seem to be close enough in number, that you can get a general watch order with just episodes. that no one would notice it being slightly out of order.
