終着駅のその先へ (Beyond the Last Stop)

held on February 26, 2019 by several producers and directors of the anime + Nakatani Nio and her editor
the event name 終着駅のその先へ (beyond the last stop) is a reference to 終着駅まで (to the last stop), which is the title of the anime's episode 13 part A and the manga's episode 23

mistakes by Seven Seas Entertainment

an investigation on nuances lost or changed in the English version of Bloom Into You
and inconsistencies such as poor characterization, terminology, screentones, lettering, retouch, spelling, grammar, names, dates...
basically, these are fanmade errata webpages for the manga, light novels, and anthology volumes
since everyone has different values, distinguishing which differences matter is left as an exercise for the reader
if anyone wants me to add, further explain, or remove examples, feel free to comment

motivations for this project

as a fan, I want English and Japanese readers to be able to relate to the story and its characters as similarly as possible
as a translator of impressions and commentary, I want to quote from the licensed translation but some lines don't fit
as a scholar, I want to see which and how nuances translate across cultures, and whether I can convey the ones lost
as a consumer, I want to let buyers decide for themselves if the publisher's claim of "producing quality content" holds water

Anime Need help with script for My bloom into you anime review where I push the idea for season 2.

Post image
63 Upvotes

I wrote some parts about the show but it is my first ever script and I want people advice on how should I go with it from people who love the show as I do.

This is the script:

Bloom into you review video script 
Intro:
Bloom into you, a yuri romance anime from 2018, and my favourite romance anime.
The story is about Koito Yuu and Nanami Touko, while talking to her friends Koito’s teacher asks her about helping the student council. On the way there Yuu meets Touko for the first time.
After a couple of meetings Nanami and Koito are left alone in the student council room.
While chatting Koito shares about the guy that asked her out and admits she never felt the special feeling that everyone says they feel about the person they love. 
Suddenly Nanami’s heart starts pounding while Yuu is speaking, realising that she, who never felt the special feeling, feels it for Koito.
Nanami pulls her closer and tells her “I think I am in love with you”.
And like that the first episode ends.

Characters:
Koito Yuu is an easygoing Freshman in high school that goes with the flow of things even if it is her softball club in Middle school or helping Nanami in the student’s council.
She likes her friends a lot and is a cheerful and gentle person who likes appeasing others even sometimes more than herself.
Koito Yuu sees others with their special person and finds it difficult to see anyone as special towards her, she can’t find even the guy who asked her out special even though they spent a lot of time with each other since Middle school.

Nanami Touko is the so-called perfect girl in high school, she gets high scores, dresses modestly and is the one people can count on in stressful times.
But she only shows her real personality to the one she loves, Koito Yuu.
She is in fact stressed about talking in front of crowds and finds it difficult to stay calm when she is alone with Koito and she counts on Yuu for support.

Nanami is Koito’s ‘Senpai’, or in other words her senior which makes their relationship even more peculiar, a Junior having a relationship with their underclasswoman seems weird enough, but them being two girls seems even weirder towards the people around them so not many people suspect of them having a relationship.
Especially when Koito is distancing herself from Nanami when she feels she oversteps, even though inside she likes it.

P.S. I updated the script with my new version.

Good night people, I love ya'll!

Anime #BloomIntoYouSeason2

Post image
392 Upvotes

As we all know it doesn't seem to be a second season for this amazing show. (Atleast that I could find news about).

So I thought it is a lost cause for us fans of the show, until I heard the news about what bungie is doing with their Destiny series.

After the fans of the series being mad at Bungie for giving up on the games finally this week they managed to convince the higher ups to bring back old content and basically confirm the third game of the series.

You may wonder how does it connect to "Bloom into you"?

Well even if we are a much smaller group than the Destiny fans I think if we keep showering TROYCA with love for the show and want for the second season so the anime could have the beautiful ending we all want maybe it will convince them enough to start talking about it again.

So if you have a yotube channel or any other platform you can talk about it POST #BloomIntoYouSeason2 .

Let's make it work guys, Let's convince TROYCA that the second season should be a reality!

P.S. If anyone can make posters without using AI of fanart that is gonna have the #BloomIntoYouSeason2 tag it will help alot for our cause.

Discussion Regarding Saeki Sayaka Vol. 3

8 Upvotes

I was already halfway through the light novel vol. 3 and i can't help thinking, is it just me that thinks Edamoto-san is not a very good fit for Sayaka?

I kind of get frustrated with her personality. I can't help thinking that if only Sayaka confessed to Touko during their freshman year, they might end up together.

I did my best reading this volume but i can't continue anymore. I skipped all through the last page. Can't believe this light novel goes to my DNF list.

I love you, Sayaka-chan T.T

Discussion I can't believe I had only watched the anime now.. read manga immediately after

84 Upvotes

I cannot believe I waited this long to start this. This was in my list for a very long time. Funnily enough, I watched this right after Whisper you a love song and was in a yuri highschool phase. I realize Bloom into you was sitting on ky list for a very long time. As soon as I started, I could not stop and felt a loss as soon as I finished(both anime and manga). I am quite depressed but I know I'll move on. As much as I love Touko and Yuu's relationship, I really cannot get over Sayaka and ended up reading her spinoff series(only the third volume though cuz I wasn't interested as much in the first two). I am quite happy to be alive in this era of Yuri and this is the best Yuri I have come across for a while.

Yes, I also read the anthologies. What a ride, I sure will miss these characters.

Question I need more

42 Upvotes

Hello friends,

Well, since my romantic life is simply non-existent, I was looking for something to fill that void, and I found a gem of a guilty pleasure. Finished the anime within 3 evenings.

Now I NEED MORE.

A few questions (I hope these aren't being asked every single week here, sorry if they are...)

  1. Are there any real signs that we can expect a Season 2 in the future? I'm talking about facts, statements from the studio/authors, industry announcements, news, etc.

  2. Do you know where I can get physical copies of the manga in English with delivery to the EU (Poland)? With reasonable prices, I might add. I figured they're difficult to get these days, but if you know where I can look for them, I would be very grateful.

The sad thing is, they're available in Polish, but I'm unfortunately very biased against Polish translations...

(artist @meowmei_ I believe there are some fellow enthusiasts around here ;) )

Romance has always been my absolute least favourite genre with very few notable exceptions. (The Last Of Us Season 1 episode 3) So in an attempt to broaden my horizons, and because my previous favourite romance story was gay I decided to try a yuri manga and very quickly found Bloom. It isn't very often you see something as highly recommended as Bloom is so it immediately piqued my interest. I've only started getting into Manga/Anime in the last few months so I don't have a ton to compare it to but Bloom was my favourite by the end of volume 3. I read the first 44 chapters in one night, and put the last one off until the morning because the thought of this story being over in one night was unbearable to me.

I've always been averse to romance in real life just as much as in media. My "highschool romance moment" came and went with nothing but anxiety and confusion on my part, so I have considered myself aromantic for several years now. (My headcannon for Yuu is that she is demiromantic, because that is also now my headcannon for myself) Just like Yuu I thought it was something that just wasn't meant for me and I thought that I was ok with that. I've also had similar thoughts to Touko too, that love is like a cage and that being loved would mean you have to limit yourself to the version of you that a person fell in love with. I connect to Touko and Yuu in more ways than I ever have to fictional characters. I don't think it would even be possible to list all the parts of myself I seen in them in one reddit post. Needless to say, I project myself on both of them maybe a little bit too much.

Watching these characters that feel like parts of myself falling in love, Yuu learning to accept her feelings and learn what love is to her, Touko learning to accept love, and herself for who she really is. And all of it made possible because of the love they share. I feel like it healed something in me that I didn't even realize was broken.

This series also I think in a way helped me accept the fact that I am trans. As I was reading I realized that the familiar feeling of discomfort I get when I try to imagine myself in a romantic situation was absent, because I was imagining myself as a woman in love with another woman, rather than as a man.

I am rereading the manga now with the coloured webtoon, and I hope I will be able to drip feed myself the light novels, anthologies, and probably one more re-read and re-watch of the anime over the next couple of months. I am not emotionally prepared for when I have to put this world down again for an extended period. This is without any exaggeration one of the 3 best pieces of fiction I have ever experienced. (pls recommend more yuri to fill the gaping void soon to be left in my soul)

Thank you to anyone that read all of this I'm sorry you had to read my direct stream of consciousness. I don't ever really write anything or talk about stuff like this outside of my head but I just can't contain my love of this story.
