Question and expectations

In the Japanese announcement trailer that I saw, it was described as *風太郎と五つ子の新婚旅行編* which translates to *Fuutarou and the quintuplets honeymoon trip arc*.

Negi will be writng the story and supervising it. So anime canon. It's the honeymoon trip arc.

@Hufenbacke So this is literally an original anime sequel from the original author?

@Hufenbacke honeymoon? so will it have S-E-Cross?

@MegamiRem It's canon anyway, at least in the anime version.

@RobertBobert Thats what I said no? Also it will be author canon, as Negi himself is writing the story.

I suspect this wont be anything major and just some more fluff. Negi prolly got roped into making this for more money for the production team.

@MegamiRem You just don’t know how many people in the anime fandom, not just the fandom of THIS particular anime, who think that everything that wasn’t in the manga is filler. Even if the author himself invented and wrote it.

@RobertBobert I very much know how anime fandom in general are lol. Why'd you jump to there though suddenly? We were talking on a personal level and not general fandom level.

So, the Hack decided to milk the Golden Cow one more time, eh? :' )

@MegamiRem Because I felt it necessary to point out that this is objectively canon in any case. I had enough of arguments with dudes who even called anime big finals “fillers” just because it went further than the manga.

@RobertBobert The source material purists for any media are like that which is nothing new and you can't change the opinion of genenral public. Also while original animes like this are advertised as supervised by og author you can never really tell to what extent that is true so there's also that.

@tywhoppity If by hack you mean Negi then no, if he wanted to milk it he wouldn't have ended it with just 122 chapters and stretch it to infinity like every other author is doing these days.

@MegamiRem By the time the festival arc started, Negi knew who was going to be Fuu's choice, but had no idea how to get there, so IMO, he winged the rest of it. Rereading the Biodad chapters and the post confession chapters became pure cringe. He could've rewritten those 10-12 chapters, added another 20 chapters, and in doing so flesh out Yotsuba's character, and maybe even taken Itsuki out of the Friendzone.

As for stretching it to infinity, Negi's doing a pretty good job with games and merch, no? :' )

@tywhoppity Lol you just literally proved my point that he could have easily made more chapters but he didn't. He wanted to end the manga in his way and he did it. There's many wsj, wsm popular mangas that kept releasing or is still releasing chapters just for the sake of it.

As for milking it with merch and games, no. Authors don't go around making merch and games, they can't even if they want to but ultimately has the final say in it (probably), yes. Now who wouldn't want to passively earn money. It's not like it affects the story in any way and the fans are very happy to have more stuff from their favourite series so I don't see the harm at all. Also it's not just about money either, who wouldn't be happy to see their work getting adapted into games and stuff.

@MegamiRem Well, I know of at least 2-3 examples where the release of games based on LN/manga was essentially an author's bonus for those who, for some reason, were not satisfied with the ending of the story.

I cannot, underline cannot believe they're doing this. Adopting the most insulting part of the manga's finale. It's bad enough that we had that stupid bride game at the end, now we're getting this. The other quints joining Fuutarou and Yotsuba on their honeymoon trip.

To do what? Make sure they get the deed done properly? Hell, in the manga they followed them when they went on their first date, and probably did with every other date they just make sure that everything went right(or maybe they were waiting for an opportunity for them to break up so one of them could sweep in and take Fuutarou for themselves). Or maybe they're just using the whole honeymoon to have "One last special moment with Fuutaoru!" before finally moving with their lives? Because clearly they never got over him during the five year time skip.

I understand that they're sisters and want to share and do everything together but come on! Show some restraint! Where is their pride?! Do they not have any shame? Do they have any idea how rude and disrespectful they're being to Fuutarou and Yotsuba? This is supposed to be a special time between just the two of them and the others are just butting in under the excuse of, "It's okay! We're sisters!" I can't imagine any real life person being okay with this. This is just another example of the quints treating Fuutarou like he's some sort of valuable object rather than a human being. This isn't being made for The Quints fans. It's being made for all the Harem fans.

You know, whenever I think of how the quints act so selfishly towards Fuutarou(going all the way back to when they ditched their penthouse and moved into that one room, rundown apartment) I can't help but wonder how they're mother would've felt if she were still alive. I mean, I like to imagine that she tried to raise her girls to be good, responsible young ladies and what would she see instead? Five horny teenagers chasing after one man's... junk. And I'm using a nice word there.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but when I saw this it took me a while to really accept that they really are going through with this. If it isn't obvious already it's clear they're just milking this series for how little it's really worth instead of moving on to something else. But hey, as long as it makes money who really cares, right? Yeah, right.

@DirectorK Right now, an adaptation of another manga by the same author is airing this season.

Generally, MAL does not indicates the source of the entry, but the one of the entire franchise there instead.
Kinda stupid, but that removes them the bother to check from where the content adapted is from.

@RobertBobert So?
(What anime is that btw?)

My point is that although they are obviously milking G-Toubun, the author has been trying his hand at something new for several years now.
