I liked estetica and wish there could be a season 2.

Regardless of what they say I'd bet that 90% of people would watch a second season if they made one.

I would really like to see a second season of this anime especially since it looks like it will only get better further on. And seeing that sales went good in japan there is a pretty good chance that there will be one.

It's implied that he does but there's no confirmation of it yet.

geez.. finally we have a protagonist who's not a wimp and acts like a real man would when surrounded by women hungry for his d*ck and people still complain. WTF do you all want anyway? someone like Yuki Rito who acted like seeing a girl's boobs is poisonous? or other typical harem protagonist who has nothing special yet inexplicably got many girls to like him? sure the story is your typical shonen but for once the main character is someone who deserves his harem. I hope there's season 2 just because I want to watch MC molest his harem more like every harem MC should!

Yeah, I second that. The last fight was dragged out way to much also.

Yeah, it was nice seeing a strong / non-wimpy MC for once. The wimpy MC type is just so over-used... I really hope they do make a second season.

I liked the series but the last episode made me feel as if the whole 12 episodes were nothing more than one big intro...

Well, I originally checked this thread because I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on if we're ever going to get a second season. Instead, I get 6 pages of the old "mine is bigger than yours" mentality of school children, and even the females are playing! Go on, hate me for that. Call me names, try to make yourself feel better by "proving" that I'm just idiot and you're better than me. Don't expect me to care, I doubt I'll ever check this thread again. But, I just had to say that what I've seen here, the so called "debates" and "arguments" that you people are having... It's pathetic.

Let me see if I've got this straight... The main character is a "Gary Stu/Mary Sue", check. The main character is a "womanizer", check. There wasn't any character development at all for any of the characters, check. Am I getting this so far? The main character is detestable because he's not an emo pussy, check. The women are detestable because they need a man to protect them, check. I'm still on track, right? The story wasn't likable because its... oh wait, no one has given valid reasons why the story isn't likable, it's all based on character hate.

So, this Gary Stu thing? Do you think this makes you some informed anime guru because you throw around terms like this? Here's the scoop for you about this particular "Gary Stu", he was meant to be that way. The anime, and this is clearly stated in the premise/summary, picks up AFTER he's completed his journey and defeated the big bad. He's a womanizer? Well, yeah, that he is... BUT, that's no different from just about any real man you'll see on the street, or in a bar, and we all know that the only reason women go to bars is to pick up a "real" man.

No character development at all for any of the characters? Are you sure you actually watched this series, maybe you hated it so quickly that you stopped paying attention after the first episode started? The main character, as perfect as he is, actually grew a little himself. But, the real development was in Myuu, Class Rep, and the lesbian womanizer chick(Izumi or some shit like that?) They all developed throughout the series, as did VP who probably developed more than lesbian chick. The development was all centered on these girls coming together, learning their places in the lives they lead, building confidence in themselves, learning to trust others, and accepting someone despite their flaws or the skeletons in their closet.

The main character is detestable because he's not your typical emo pussy, he's too perfect. I think I covered this one already, he was supposed to be that way. Get over it already.

The women are detestable because they need a man to protect them? Ok, this one actually makes me laugh. I'm not exactly sexist, but despite all of the strong women out there who fight for the equal treatment of women and succeed in a "man's world", I've still not met a woman who is willing to actually stand on her two feet without the help of anyone at all when faced with the worst crisis in their entire existence. EVERYONE needs help sometimes, and the strong women out there are a minority to their own gender. The majority of women are weak. Go on now, tell me how sexist that remark seems. But hiding behind scapegoats like sexism just show that I'm right.

Now lets cover the story. I've seen a lot of people talk about poor writing, lack of plot, so on and so forth. I'm yet, however, to see any proof of these claims. The best response I've seen so far is that this story is weak when compared to many other anime series that have come out over the years. This is true, because not every anime that comes out will be some blockbuster that destroys everything that came before it. The story was lacking in some places, it was far from perfect, and it even lacked some substance. The story was more character and action driven than it was plot-driven, the true plot didn't even show up until after the halfway mark. But this doesn't mean it's horrible, or poorly written. It just means that it didn't focus on the plot as much as some of you would have liked. Look at Cowboy Bebop, that was a great series, one of the classics, but it was completely episodic, it had little to no plot at all.

As for the comparison to Kaze no Stigma a few posts back, that was actually fairly accurate. I can totally see that in the "perfection" of the main characters, and their aloof personalities.

Wow, this is much longer than it seemed in my head as I read over this horrible excuse for proper discussion. Oh well, I covered everything I think.

For those who are gonna hate on me because I don't support their opinions and bash people like a child... you seem to think age, gender, and the amount of time spent watching anime is what determines character or how right or wrong someone is, so here: I'm 34, a male, and I've been watching anime since my early childhood, going back to such anime as Akira, Robotech, and GoLion. Also that's a good example that I know how to tell the difference between a good anime and horrible one.

Since I'll probably never look at this again, I really don't care if you take anything away from this and learn from it or not. I truly couldn't care any less whether you hate me or bash me, or not. So enjoy yourselves! :)

The_Bif got this right. Way too much arguing here over nothing.

Hate or like Akatsuki, it's completely up to you. Personally i loved him off, and being someone who read the light novels, understands where he's coming from. The writers of the show didn't do a good enough job representing Akatsuki outwardly for all to see, I know, but they did many things that helped the attentive watcher piece together who Akatsuki is. In the show they portray Akatsuki to be very human, the fact is there are hints dropped all over the place throughout the season. The episode with the sleipnir bike being one of them. Interestingly enough no one wonders why Akatsuki takes on the challenge after hearing his father mentioned once, but everyone remembers the girl getting stripped during that episode.

Truthfully speaking, if you go into this anime with an open mind and take it for what it is, then you'll find the story to be very engaging and well connected. Remember this the the esthetics of a rogue hero, the title is very important and explains why Akatsuki is how he is, so look at his actions and their consequences rather than all the titties flying out all over the place. Remember, the titties are just an incentive to keep watching, they shouldn't be why you keep watching...kinda.

All in all, a good anime that deserves a second season. Funimation is involved in the production, and they have money to spare, so despite the low sales, I hope they make another season.

The story is based after the hero has done his deed. He is now powerful, and he has a vast amount of experience. The show isn't really about him becoming a hero, he already is one.

Most of the time, the MC in a harem is totally pointless and the female characters like him for NO apparent reason. Usually, the women are far more powerful than the men and end up protecting the shit out of them until the MC realizes his 'true potential.

For me, this was a breath of fresh air. Sure the breast fondling was pointless and the story seemed underdeveloped but I enjoyed the show nonetheless. Besides, I wouldn't call all the females submissive. I may have a bad memory, but I only remember him fondling Miu's tits and stealing the bras off of the other females during that game at the beach. Pretty much every other female in the series wasn't groped up or sexually harassed by him.

Complaining about an Ecchi show having fanservice is like complaining about porn having sex, it just doesn't make sense.

kcp_snag said:

pretty much agreed.

Synklare said:


If there is a season two, I'd like to find out more about his past though. Why he felt the need to challenge his father regarding the bike, how he defeated the Dark Lord, the struggles he went through to become powerful.

taiga21 said:
This was a pretty good anime, but they should have spent less time with ecchi, and more time focusing on the story IMO. Like, what happened to his father and his sister? When he was sleeping, he said she was dead. Maybe if they had showed his past, people would understand and like him better.

Also, I hate when the main guy saves everyone and the girls are useless. Miu is the goddamn daughter of the demon king!!! She seemed so powerfull in the first episode, but after that all she did was being saved by Akatsuki.

I just hope they make a second season to answer all the questions.

Synklare said:


In a harem, the main guy usually saves nobody. It's usually the female characters kicking ass and protecting the male which actually pisses me off after while. If you don't like it when the MC saves everybody then you've been watching the wrong anime to be honest. The girls aren't useless though, they're just not as powerful as Akatsuki.

An example of somebody being incredibly powerful and not being given the chance to truly shine due to a female character is the MC from Strike the Blood.

EEH YAH SEMPAI. THIS IS OUR FIGHT. NU!

lmao

anyways HYnE was a really good show. alot of titties but i can handle some titties. The story was interesting, its nice to see a story that doesn't just cut itself off or back itself into a corner. This show is wide open. They can go into his deep past or well into the future.

unfortunately, i'm not sure i've ever seen a 13 ep series get a much lengthier second or third season without it being OVA's.

With a little less breast fondling, this could be a long running show. Just don't think they're going to put in the effort to make it so. I'm hopeful we'll get at least another 13 eps

Fierce_Deity22 said:
I completely disagree with the people who said this is a typical echhi. That's a damn lie here is why.
-MC is not a pussy little boy
-Is not filled with tons of cock blocks like Highschool DXD
-Few to NO annoying characters
-MC already OP at the start

The list keeps on. All this complainers can go back to watching their shitty School Days. This was one of the few ecchis I truly liked I really hope a season 2 gets announced this year if not, Oh well........

The ending of episode 12 says that, ""Bitch, now continue from the fucking novel".

Fucking hate it tbh.

The isekai tag wasn't popular back then
