Sakura Trick thread

http://dynasty-scans.com/series/sakura_trick

Two chapters came out recently.

I'm really happy with the current flow of events regarding Sakura Trick; the story (or lack thereof) is developing really nicely. There doesn't seem to be any possibility for overplayed drama even with the introduction of Yuu's sister. Also, DEEN didn't totally screw it up, even with the approximately $200 budget.

The excess of obvious fanservice kinda ticks me off, but Saki did that too, and Saki's doing really well. So if it contributes to the success of Sakura Trick and the possibility of better quality in the future, I'm okay with it.

Sometimes I wish I was still 12. Then I could enjoy Sakura Trick for just the overwhelming fountain of cuteness instead of applying sexual contexts to everything. i mean like i was reading the manga and hoogogododododddd and i felt bad because they were just two girls in love and only ike 15 andim lsike hnrnhrgnrnhhhgggg in the pantsu u know?

[quote=Dauntaro]... Is it fanservice? I mean, if you disregard the anime's strange insertions of completely random thigh shots.
In addition, I finished puberty, so I'm not quite sure how anything in my pants could develop. I mean, I don't have anything hanging between my legs.

also yeah the story develops and by the story i mean the character interactions and dynamics and stuff like that; unlike other SoL shows, the characters and their relationships aren't almost 100% static
I mean the confession scene in early vol. 2 has Yuu saying "The sakura are beautiful tonight" in reference to "The moon is beautiful tonight" which is just "I love you" translated oddly. That's pretty cool![/quote]
Sakura Trick's plot progression is incredible, actually. It only took 15 minutes into episode 1 for the first kiss.

In any other 1-cour romance anime,
Episodes 1-5: absolutely nothing
Episodes 6-10: more nothing
Episode 11: hand-holding
Episode 12-13: maybe a kiss on the cheek

[quote=Plenair]Someone actually finds a fan service anime to have a nicely developing story. Are you sure the story isn't the thing in your pants that is developing?

Saki? What a boring and stupid premise.[/quote]

Still more expensive than buying it in-store, even with sales tax.

I'm not in a rush to buy them anyways. I just happened to have some pocket change to spare.

I had some free time today, so I drove out to a Kinokuniya to pick up Sakura Trick; unfortunately I couldn't find it under the Houbunsha section, so I gave up because a grown man shouldn't ask if the store has a copy of some lesbian comic book. I settled with [url=http://i1.minus.com/ibdm0ViigFtF5G.jpg]NNB[/url] instead.

That [url=http://i3.minus.com/inxMYfm3eO4HH.jpg]400 yen[/url] markup though. I should really invest in a membership card.

This series is too damn cute for its own good. I am also watching this with a rather lecherous mind. It increases the hilarity ten-fold!

Silver Link would have done an exponentially better job.
