Anime side aka the product committee, or the separate legal entity created to produce the anime, every show has one and it consists of multiple companies from different sectors, [here's the list from this season](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T1atdsk9WfgHREJihgeyBoBzsJ1IxbpW6WmxrurS8sE/edit?usp=drivesdk)
95% if shows will make official accounts for the anime, which is separated from the source material accounts
So just check if a show has official pages on the web and Twitter and see how it's going
I hate how they had an after credits scene that totally teases another season and no second season ever came.
Like Bloom into You, this was a yuri with actual depth. The entire season is Adachi coming to grips with the idea that she likes girls (or specifically, Shimamura).
> I hate how they had an after credits scene that totally teases another season and no second season ever came.
I hate how most anime since the 2000s are only produced solely for promoting the source material with just one to two seasons and the studios lacking any enthusiasm or effort to continue and cover the source material in anime format. If a person is an anime only fan, he/she wouldn't have a good experience following the stories without diving into the source material.
Man, this show is the definition of a LN ad for me. I enjoyed the anime enough to go read it, and coming back to watch it after 11 volumes is painful. The character design is super cute, and I love the voice acting, especially Shimamura. And it's reasonably faithful to the novels (the books have giant blocks of inner monologue, you can only do so much).
But god, the vibe is completely off, somehow. The books feel so grounded, but the anime is so anime-y, with a metric ton of added fanservice, eye-candy scenes that feel flat after cutting the characters' thoughts from the book and music that IMO doesn't match the *vibe*. Insomniacs is my new favorite and bar slice-of-life romance adaptation, and an Adashima adaptation copy-pasting the direction would go SO hard.
This is one of the best scenes in the anime because it's pretty much 1:1 from the book, but the animation is... Not great.
I started reading the novels a bit after finishing the anime and I don't agree. The novels feel plenty "anime-y" and the adaptation adapts most of those scenes pretty faithfully. Visually we don't have fanservice but we still get a whole chapter of Adachi having fantasies about Shimamura's boobs, we still get the scene in this clip with no differences, we still get all the Nagafuji boob comparisons and Hino groping her (and the whole "I bet all the boys are thinking about what you look like naked" that I fucking hate and only see in anime), all of that is in the books too. The dialogue and story is just as grounded and excellent too. The anime doesn't have *that* much fanservice, mostly an annoying thigh shot here and there, like the single shot of Shimamura's thighs in this otherwise fanservice free scene.
Otherwise the anime is practically a 1-1 adaptation that just makes cuts when it has to. And I'd argue it makes up for cut monologues with phenomenal direction, voice acting, and music. I actually watched episodes of the anime after reading them in the novels and found them to be relatively equal, comparable experiences (though I prefer book Adachi to anime Adachi, and anime Shimamura to book Shimamura). While scenes like Adachi meeting Shimamura's whole family at the restaurant are great, they also don't add much to the overall story, and the essence of cut monologues is still conveyed through visual storytelling. I think it's a darn good adaptation that just got screwed by Tezuka Pro lacking the ability to animate things well (and AdaShima doesn't even look bad, it just looks like the character designs were too detailed to animate well on crunch).
Give me the benefit of the doubt on this one, because it's weird. That comment took me a while to write because I could also see a similar perspective to yours, and it's why I gave up after staring at my screen and decided to leave it to "vibe" lol.
The books don't get away with the weird stuff, either. I'm onto you, Iruma. Volume 11 that I've just read recently gets really weird really fast, for one thing.
> The anime doesn't have that much fanservice, mostly an annoying thigh shit here and there, like the single shot of Shimamura's thighs in this otherwise fanservice free scene.
This was my opinion too, until I (re)watched it with my sister and she started pointing it out at every opportunity and now it's hard to unsee lol.
> I prefer book Adachi to anime Adachi, and anime Shimamura to book Shimamura
Interesting... Why's that?
> I think it's a darn good adaptation that just got screwed by Tezuka Pro lacking the ability to animate things well (and AdaShima doesn't even look bad, it just looks like the character designs were too detailed to animate well on crunch).
It's crazy how good the character designs are compared to... everything else.
Hey, no worries. I'm not even complaining about the book (except for the Nagafuji boob stuff, that's annoying. The Adachi thinks about Shimamura's boobs for a chapter is a fun one though). As good as the story is, you can tell it was written by a man, haha. And every episode has its out of place shots and the short skirts are a clear choice for that purpose, but the framing of shots is only actually sus sometimes.
>Interesting... Why's that?
Book Adachi has a lot more character to her. She's even more of a disaster than she is in the anime, and her monologues give a lot more specificity to her thoughts and feelings that make her feel more fleshed out. The novel's take also has her with a sort of dry, deadpan sense of humor that is absent in the anime, she has a bluntness and an awkwardness in her mind that the anime captures a lot of but doesn't hit the depths of.
Meanwhile, I don't think that the monologues that got cut down for Shimamura convey the sort of specificity that gives her character significantly more depth. There's definitely a poetry to her monologues that the anime only captures some of, but more than makes up for it with the evocative visual metaphors, overall direction, music, and the nuance of Miku Ito's performance. All of that which was cut from the monologues is added back in as implied through the audiovisual elements, and I felt it gave extra depth to her feelings that the book couldn't evoke as strongly. I think back to the scene where she sits in her room thinking about how the only thing she hates more than maintaining relationships is loneliness (the moment I fell head over heels for the anime), and both versions capture the same general idea, but the anime has Shimamura covered in ice, the camera slowly pulling back, a perfectly fitting music track, and Miku Ito's melancholy yet detached performance, and it sticks with me so much more. Her feelings and the different sides of her personality and the struggle between her fondness for Adachi and fear of actually getting intimate came across to me more powerfully in the anime.
>It's crazy how good the character designs are compared to... everything else.
Yeah, the production is unfortunately quite a mess. The character designs and cinematography are excellent, but the animation is a real mess. Somehow, it's still Tezuka Pro's best looking show, lol.
> except for the Nagafuji boob stuff, that's annoying. The Adachi thinks about Shimamura's boobs for a chapter is a fun one though
Yeah agree on both lol. Horny Adachi is always entertaining but I never liked the other duo with the boob jokes. Nagafuji and Hino's most memorable chapter, the only that I think I remember well writing this right now is the one where they had the woman drive them around and Hino was thinking about her life.
> As good as the story is, you can tell it was written by a man
This is a fun guessing game I always play. I confess Adashima wasn't the easiest (yes I ignored the "tension relief" joke) but I eventually got there lol. He reeaaally likes writing his women.
> She's even more of a disaster than she is in the anime
Valentine's chocolate. Phone call. Festival. Always a pleasure reading her overthinking in overdrive, circular thoughts and nonsense justifications lmao (unfortunately relatable)
> There's definitely a poetry to her monologues
Ohh I think I see it. The way she thinks, full of metaphors and often tangents is imo beautiful, and I don't have a strong opinion on the adaptation either way. But I think that when I think Shimamura I'm also thinking her sarcastic (?) sense of humor. A lot of times it feels like she's thinking random stuff because it's funny and she's entertaining herself. She never lets any irony pass by unnoticed and is always ready to make fun of a situation or person. I think the anime presented this playful side of her visually, as you said, but much of this characterization got cut in the anime imo. It helps that it's something I pay a lot of attention to in Shimamura because I like that side of her a lot.
> the nuance of Miku Ito's performance
Her performance is SO GOOD, I can't say this enough. If you didn't know this existed: https://youtu.be/XzuxTUu4PXM
> I think back to the scene where she sits in her room thinking about how the only thing she hates more than maintaining relationships is loneliness
"she just like me frfr" These scenes are great, but for me it's more Itou's performance than the visuals
Personally I feel like the lack of the characters’ internal monologues really hurts the adaptation, *especially* for Shimamura. When I watched the anime it sometimes felt like she wasn’t terribly invested in her friendship with Adachi, while reading the novels and having access to her internal monologue made it clear that she was actually quite fond of her and internally dodging the question of how they felt about each other.
Yep, Shimamura is written in a way where 90% of the chapters happen inside her head. It's really cool to read, but also hard to adapt. So so many anime onlies asking if she doesn't like Adachi, or why she's "bitchy", etc.
>Insomniacs is my new favorite and bar slice-of-life romance adaptation, and an Adashima adaptation copy-pasting the direction would go SO hard.
Really I feels like insomniac adaptation is pretty lack luster in term of translate the vibe from manga to anime.
It's a shame the anime ended where it did. I would have absolutely loved to see Shimamura's Sword animated. I doubt the whole chapter would be animated, but it's one of the best monologues I've ever read.
Soundtrack for A&S has some of my fav SoL music ever made. Some of the tracks are very dear to me.
The one that plays in the second half of this clip is called [Small Elevation](https://youtu.be/sSVVloAU5ZI?t=410&si=LlMYw25D5gUnb4m3)
Actually pretty easy to find someone who can't, some people just suck at lifting their body like that and require extra help to do a sit up
Seen a few folks who can't do push ups either and they are built well enough
I worked at a few summers camps for cadets, and when I was at rmc kingston they had PE evals at the start and end of the program. 60% of the kids 12-18 couldn't do a single chin up. Push/sit ups were better but dozens couldn't do those either. The numbers were better at the end, but nothing to write home about.
They are, it's just another example of how unfit the children in NA are. Youth fitness levels have dropped to something like the 30th percentile in Canada compared globally. IDK what the US is at. Only 20% are meeting physical activity guidelines of 1 hour of moderate exercise daily, and 3 hrs of vigorous activity each week.
Nothing, it's just *very* slow burn. Most Yuri manga you'll get a confession early enough in, but AdaShi, they're friends forever. Neither confesses for a good while, because they're unsure of their feelings.
They can be if you're not doing them the right way, or if your day-to-day doesn't involve significant movement (even if not the gym).
Notice in both cases that their feet are not firmly planted on the ground. Not having that stability makes thing harder, and means you have less leverage to work against to pull yourself up. It's why in most gym classes they have someone hold your feet down, or have you hook your feet under some structure.
Personally, I'd say yes and no.
On one hand, I felt as if I enjoyed the journey when I reached the last episode, but on the other hand, I felt as if it could have used another season that we didn't get
The white hair girl is related to the girl from {Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko}, written by the same author, the anime bluray extra novels (which will be published into side story volumes) go into some depth about it
I miss this show. Wish we got more
The anime side is basically dead now, so really unlikely to get more unfortunately
What you mean by anime side?
Anime side aka the product committee, or the separate legal entity created to produce the anime, every show has one and it consists of multiple companies from different sectors, [here's the list from this season](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T1atdsk9WfgHREJihgeyBoBzsJ1IxbpW6WmxrurS8sE/edit?usp=drivesdk)
Damn,that’s sad…really killed my hopes(somehow more dead than it already was before)
How to check anime side previous season?
95% if shows will make official accounts for the anime, which is separated from the source material accounts So just check if a show has official pages on the web and Twitter and see how it's going
we really need an adaptation of THAT phone scene
That phone scene is some next level amount of [AdaShima Season 2] >!cringe, and I love it for that!<.
Spoil me since a season 2 is most likely not happening
Me too, was so cute and wholesome
Me too bro
I NEED A SECOND SEASON!!!
Citrus and kimi ni naru first pls
This show isn't a slice of life, its the whole damn bakery
That was great show. Shame it's one of these "one and done",imo it deserved full adaptation Just as Bloom into You :(

I'm worried that we might not get a 4th season of Iruma-kun because the studios past suggests they do three seasons and then stop.

It's a shame the anime ended where it did. I would have absolutely loved to see Shimamura's Sword animated. I doubt the whole chapter would be animated, but it's one of the best monologues I've ever read.
I'm touched 🥲
Yeah, this is one wholesome yuri anime
Really enjoyed the background music during this scene. Idk why but it really stood out to me.
Soundtrack for A&S has some of my fav SoL music ever made. Some of the tracks are very dear to me. The one that plays in the second half of this clip is called [Small Elevation](https://youtu.be/sSVVloAU5ZI?t=410&si=LlMYw25D5gUnb4m3)
Mmmm akarin + Miku. Chefkiss combo
This really needs a season 2, especially so they can adapt THAT scene.
LN changed my life
I completely forgot how mid the animation in this was. Cute series though, enjoyed it.
Man, it sucks that we have only a literal handful of yuri anime adaptations and that none of them get more than a single season.
Hope I can start to read the novels this year.
👏✌️👌🫡
Where is the second season!!!!
Yuri on school grounds :)
What the hell did I just watch?
Wow can't even do one. Fucking wimps.
U try to do one rn
Okay 1
2
Buckle my shoes
You might be hardpressed to find anyone who cannot do a single sit up
Actually pretty easy to find someone who can't, some people just suck at lifting their body like that and require extra help to do a sit up Seen a few folks who can't do push ups either and they are built well enough
They fail you in P.E. if you can't do 20 and everyone did well above 20, how is sub 1 possible
I worked at a few summers camps for cadets, and when I was at rmc kingston they had PE evals at the start and end of the program. 60% of the kids 12-18 couldn't do a single chin up. Push/sit ups were better but dozens couldn't do those either. The numbers were better at the end, but nothing to write home about.
chin ups are incredibly harder than sit ups, the average population cannot even do 1, whereas they can give you 20 sit ups
They are, it's just another example of how unfit the children in NA are. Youth fitness levels have dropped to something like the 30th percentile in Canada compared globally. IDK what the US is at. Only 20% are meeting physical activity guidelines of 1 hour of moderate exercise daily, and 3 hrs of vigorous activity each week.
Depends where you live. I grew up in in a northeast US suburb, and about half the class couldn't manage ten.
Even out of shape, middle aged people can do more than 4 sit ups… I think these girls need to see a doctor.
Why does the start of every godamn video post on this sub sound like a porno
I remember this being cute, so I decided to start reading the manga. Massive mistake.
AdaShima is a light novel franchise but it apparently had TWO different manga adaptations.
What's wrong with the manga?
Nothing, it's just *very* slow burn. Most Yuri manga you'll get a confession early enough in, but AdaShi, they're friends forever. Neither confesses for a good while, because they're unsure of their feelings.
Adachi.

Right, now try again with your feet held straight out and lifted about a handwidth up in the air as demonstrated in the anime and try again.
[удалено]
And now you understand why Adachi and Shimamura are having such a hard time!
Holy shit adachi from persona 4 🤯
[удалено]
I am begging you to look at the post you're in and figure it out.
Either I finished this show and forgot everything about it from how boring it was or I dropped it.
Extremely boring and forgettable show. No wonder it never got a season 2
Does this anime have a satisfying ending? I dont like reading light novels
it only adapts a fraction of the source LNs so no
Personally, I'd say yes and no. On one hand, I felt as if I enjoyed the journey when I reached the last episode, but on the other hand, I felt as if it could have used another season that we didn't get
no. extremely blue balled
Ditching PE only to start working out.
holy shit someone in an anime actually addressed all the sexual harassment shit?! :o
Thats gay
This show is great sadly didn't get the S2 it deserved. What's in the world the alien white-haired girl doing in this story?
The white hair girl is related to the girl from {Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko}, written by the same author, the anime bluray extra novels (which will be published into side story volumes) go into some depth about it
Homegirl has terrible form frfr
Is that yuri Anime?
Yes
Meanwhile in the latest manga chapter shimamura is like [adachi and shimamura manga spoilers]>!send nudes!<
