I meant us both lol.
Times like this make me wish i had a console to play this stuff on, i could retreat into full on fanboy mode and forever live in a world of Yotsuba and Miku bliss... and i don't even care i just typed that for everyone to see...
ahem, on topic:
but I thought he wasn't really able to tell them apart by appearance,
From memory he made a point of it in ep 1 and 2 though 2 was really just in the Miku chase... which could of been in ep 1... ahem anyway, when he first meets them and wants them to do as he says. Otherwise there is the end episodes at the Skiing resort but this was only about Itsuki and was less about them looking the same and more about her hiding behind a hood and goggles.
Honestly though, through the season he mostly always knows who is who... oh i guess there is always a towel scene he gets lost in (ep1 of S2 doesn't let this one down again either). Errr point being, in
normal events they are who they are and not so much hiding in one another's identity. Buuuut im not stubborn enough to admit... you made me realise (with no effort) you may have proven me wrong as more scenes keep coming to mind, dammit Futaro!
Like, it's higher quality images with more amateur animations
As someone who is blind to 99% of animation based comments i do have to chime in and second this, i was never the most happiest to see a new art style when it was trailered but i accepted it, a not-so refined art style is nothing to turn your nose at when your getting a additional 13 episodes (or 12) of a series you love after all. Sooo when watching i didn't hate it as much as i thought, well i didn't hate the art that is. It looked nice (still images like looking at Futaro in his bed), but once we get over the slightly brighter vibrant colour set... things start looking a bit... ahem, cheap?
Did it get punted to a new studio that's full of recent college grads
I mean... this honestly sounds pretty legit and plausible to me.
Fully ready to argue about ranking the quints
no such thing, as long as people accept their choice as Yotsuba, Miku, Nino as a #1, nothings wrong!
But yeah i am pretty psyched, whilst harems are something i watch, i rarely look forward to any, and as long as the thread isn't 10 pages of "It's not fair xxx doesn't get this treatment" i think we all good, we survived other shows after all. I'm just pretty happy to see them back on screen, even if animated by some 20 year olds who never worked on a real anime project, i will still watch (and hopefully love) it.
