White Album 2 Episode 13 Discussion

8/10 for now, hopefully the closing chapter gets animated. I want that happy ending for Haruki and Kazusa.

Wolfeystein said:
I don't see how anyone could really be angry at a character here, tbh.

And find it rather childish that people are reacting so "Home Alone" to Kazusa and Kitahara finally having sex.

Setsuna dug her hole for herself. She knew that they had feelings for one another, but wanted Kitahara for herself anyway, and in taking advantage of his self-sacrificial nature, confessed -- despite knowing both of her friend's feelings. Something that caused Kazusa untold amounts of pain, and confused Kitahara even more.

She knew that her relationship was on borrowed time.

Which is why she doesn't complain. She simply mans up and admits that she has no room to feel hurt. Something she expressed on the lastest episodes.

But I don't hold it against her for what she did, though. She's just a human. No-one's perfect, and these people here aren't awesome people to begin with.

And I don't blame Haruki and Kazusa from having sex. They had both been separated by a dam for too long, and that simply burst forth when they finally confessed openly to loving each other. He loves her, she loves him, and they didn't want any regrets. Not expressing their love at that time would've been a huge regret.

Did it hurt Setsuna? Yeah. But it was about time that she shared some of the suffering too, and she knows it, and she mans-up and accepts it, gaining some of my respect.

The only reason I'd feel bad if you liked Kazusa too much is well...obviously you're not going to see her for a long time

Meykkei said:
well,it depends ._.

Hetakoi said:


I've seen many posts trying to discourage Kazusa fans by pointing out that in the light of a second season she will not be there coz of CC. I want to say that this is somewhat misleading. Indeed Kazusa is absent in CC [she has just one scene], but let's be honest here. The only point in making a second season would be to adapt Coda. And coda is dominated by Kazusa in the same way that IC was Kazusa heavy. Therefore, fans of both factions will enjoy watching the character they like.

An example of an idiot who haven't had a serious girlfriend/boyfriend eversince he/she was born thus, bitching and saying all those nonsense shit about a certain character. HAH.

Venats said:


These aren't heavy spoilers, just some discussion about the endings.

Hetakoi said:
I cant see into the future but an educated guess would be that if 2nd season has 13 eps, first half will be Setsuna's CC route with new heroines as secondary cast (maybe even throw flashbacks from 'the idol who forgot how to sing' omake), while second half will be coda.

hyperknees91 said:
Well of course they could just not animate CC because it is kind of pointless other than dragged out build up. However if they do...it's the longest part of the game by far. Which means the majority of the game, Kazusa is not even present. Which would be a bummer for Kazusa fans.

I think Coda being dominated by Kazusa was a very bad idea too, but hey that's just me. I guess you are correct that the fans will get her love eventually.

Genix said:
Eh. Should've gone the harem route and avoided all the drama. That said, the story is meant as a prequel to an eroge, so it had only one end, so I guess it couldn't been helped.

Wolfeystein said:
Yeah, this is precisely what I got out of the 13 episodes animated.

It's why I'd probably enjoy the K-TE better than the others, tbh. Espeically with the changes to the material that try to drive the Kazusa/Kitahara revolution of the plot more effectively -- i.e the ending song.

setsuna = sweet-talk, selfish, opportunity stealer, bitc#h
haruki = impatient, indecisive, fuckking pathetic class rep
Kazusa= Coward, indecisive, Social retard, has mommy issues

kaimax said:


There fixed it with some nice good balance.

Venats said:
The differences are extremely small though noticeable here and there for those of who've played the VN. Ultimately you more or less get the same end result and feeling though, so it's hard to judge, say, or predict how the any continuations might progress. I think the only distinct difference is that in the change of medium, you get a chemistry bias you'd not have so easily picked up on in IC but you pick up on it anyway by the time of Coda. So really there's very few changes.

I think the biggest thing they changed outside of the flashbacks, is how Kazusa views Haruki's song/book. In the anime you're only presented Setsuna's realization, which is just like the VN, but you're never told how Kazusa feels about it. The anime sort of skipped that aspect and just made the song very dear to her but did not provide the reasons. The wording in there, how Haruki write his lyrics, is also very important in CC and Coda. Its not game changing by an stretch but its one of the many subtle details that you can stumble across through CC and Coda that really change the meanings of the scenes they appear in. This was probably because of time issues, its not the biggest of deals and the audience pretty much knows who wrote what for whom, and I doubt even a continuation would dalliance in the nuances of writing subtly when they have visual mobility.

hyperknees91 said:


You forgot "Oh woe is me" for Kazusa. haha. I'd probably add "insane" to setsuna and "submissive" to haruki.

Sigh, I wish this anime came with some warning labeled: School days version 2.0!!

Oh im so fucking pissed this is even my first post/comment. Why are you guys siding on Setsuna when clearly she's a total bitch?

I hate her instantly when she explained her 'lies' (why she decided to confess to Kitahara), you guys also bashed Touma for being a 'great' friend (sarcasm pls) when clearly Setsuna is the bitch here for taking Kitahara away from Touma when she knew that they both like each other and will end up together eventually. Setsuna is the bitch here, fucking up their (Kitahara and Touma) slow but gradually increasing feelings. She deserved to be drilled a hole in her heart when they kissed infront of her, TAKE THAT BITCH

Wolfeystein said:
But I get what you mean -- that the changes are rather small and not a definite confirmation of that bias for the continuations, correct?

risingangel90 said:
in the end i will take the anime ending(when it comes out) as the offecial one

nomanz said:
-Like seriously? Where do I start with the history of abuse toward setsuma?
Prepare your heart if Closing Chapter gets adapted for the second season
- Ending is a sizable factor in this. It's never the chick I want it to be.. Maybe I've just been having bad luck.
Surprise, it's only the ending of the 1st season. So, Setsuna is not out of the game.
-try to make you feel bad for her(Kazusa) after they already made you fall in love with Setsuma.
uhh..It'll balance out later

Aerbage said:
I'm kind of surprised so many people have finished the VN. Well, I am one of them, but still... It just comes as a surprising fact to me. LOL

Tennouji_ said:
LOL then you should thank Setsuna that Haruki and Kazusa end up together. Without Setsuna, those assholes won't do shit.

Venats said:


Yes, and IC is naturally a little bit biased because its about setting up the fact that Touma and Haruki are deeply in love with one another. So any bias in the anime is a bit hard to judge, even if the chemistry on screen between Kazusa and Haruki is very strong to a viewer. Anime still went above and beyond the VN in setting the mood though with its liberal use of flashbacks and on screen dynamics.

This is why I say its hard to judge. They could very easily focus very heavily on CC and have a very light treatment of Coda where Haruki chooses to lie to Kazusa and picks Setsuna right off the bat and you end up on Setsuna's TE. I don't expect it (and I wonder how audience would react to Setsuna suddenly being the lead role) but I don't like to play foreseer.

hyperknees91 said:
I'd say it's kind of impossible for it not to lead towards K-TE if they follow coda. I mean Setsuna essentially gets written out of the story for the first half.

Venats said:


She's essentially written out for all of it unless you pick to play as her. <.>

But that hardly means anything when adaptations are concerned.

This goes to hyperknees91 or Venats:

Can any of you guys tell me who's the FINAL FINAL FINAL FINAL choice of Haruki? And does he really sticks with Touma or Setsuna?

I'm kind of obsessed with the series you know...I'd really appreciate if someone answered me :(

Thanks!

hyperknees91 said:


There is 3 endings to the game. None of them are the "canon" ending. You can basically choose who you want Haruki to end up with because it's a VN. Though most people consider Kazusa's true end the most likely choice for adaption.
