I‘m still praying that this is going to be a two-cour season. Especially because I wanna see how they animate the phone call scene (if they managed to pull it off, then this scene alone would easily go viral and make the anime more popular. I‘m pretty convinced, since something like this has probably never happened in anime before - that‘d be one of those anime clips on youtube that reaches millions of views).

That scene would be something to see - heartbreaking certainly but interesting to see how they'd go about it.

If it just turns out to be a one cour... then I smell the anime-only AdaShima consumers going riot and hate on it for being toooo slow and going nowhere.

Agreed. This definitely isn't the most fast-paced story out there considering where we're at almost 6 novels in lol, but that's something I like a lot about it - more time for character development. If they cut the anime too short, I could see a lot of people not being super interested in it. I also don't want to see them rush the story along too fast just to appease those who are impatient because then a lot of the emotional impact of the scenes would be lost. No sense in me being negative before it's even out though lol.

True that. I‘d just be sad if people hate on it, just because it‘s slow. The thing about a slow-paced story is, if it doesn‘t have a correspondingly longer adaption, then people would view it as a waste of their time. And AdaShima deserves better than that.
Only hope is, first season actually gets an open ending, no rushed, made-up ending, really just without conclusion and they announce another season shortly after that, that follows up a few seasons later. (I think Fruits Basket did something of the sort, but I didn‘t watch that one.)

Very true. This story is very introspective, which I feel may be difficult to translate into an anime adaptation where some of the depth will have to be sacrificed.

I kind of get the feeling it will either end after the whole Christmas arc or at the end of the first school year. Those seem like kind of natural stopping points for a season, and yeah, hopefully, they'll announce that it's been picked up for additional seasons shortly afterwards. Either way, I hope people get as much enjoyment out of it as I have from reading the novels.

Sure would. Even seemingly popular ones don't seem to get more than one season

Even Bloom into You didn't get one right away. The two "Yuris" who got multiples seasons/OVA are Maria-sama, Maria Holic and Yuru Yuri so yeah. 1 is a CGDCT, 1 is just a parody of Highschool yuri with a crossdressing boy and the other is Maria-sama. But tbh, the sole fact that Yagate didn't get the green light for a 2nd season should tell you that getting 2 seasons of a Yuri is hard, because in the end, it's a niche genre and don't make enough money. It's more safe for studios to do Isekais or romcoms.

Still waiting to cross over into the timeline where YagaKimi has a second season. Any day now.

You did not just say that about the series that was only outsold by Shit Art Online...

At least it got a theatrical release, that's more than any other yuri anime has gotten, but yeah those "Yuris" aren't very "Yuri", just hints and tidbits. Though the fact that we're getting more and more animes that have yuri in the tags is a good sign, like this year we got Otherside Picnic, Fragtime(it's an OVA, but still), Happy Go Lucky Days(movie with a yuri short story, still counts though), ofc this one(Adashima), so just maybe, just maybe we could possibly be making some headway towards one yuri anime getting a second season, but it's all just wishful thinking.

What ? Adachi and otherside picnic are getting an anime ?

[Edit] just saw the log lol damn glad to see some good news I'm really digging both VA's for the girls especially Shimamura she has that slightly tireish/relaxed voice that I really like, still is it just me or does the blue tone they chose for Adachi look a little too bright ? I know it's something kinda minor but idk it really bothered me lol it's supposed to be a more darkish blue and there it was a bright blue, her eyes looked all sparkly and it was throwing me off tbh lol.

Also does otherside picnic even have Yuri ? I've picked up all volumes thatve been released but idk why it feels like even if it has the tag that it's just gonna be a cocktease so I haven't actually started it lol anyone know if it delivers on the Yuri relationship?

The one and only. I hope one day soon Shimamura will finally show that she feels the same way about me...but I still can't stop myself from wondering: just who was that other girl she was with...? Hmm...still, I won't give up on her no matter what! I'll be the one to stay by her side forever - no more running away!! Look out, Shimamura - here I come!!!
...
....Um...yeah...please ignore all of that...

Nah, don't buy it, Adachi would never waste her time going on a forum that doesn't have Shimamura on it.

Well...I figured that since I can't spend every second with Shimamura (unfortunately), I can at least spend the remaining parts of the day writing about her. This way, even though we might not physically be together, she's always with me...

Ugh...how embarrassing...what's wrong with me?

My, how red your ears have turned. Do you have a fever...?

Sh-Shimamura?! I-I mean, um, hello Shimamura. I didn't know you were here... It's, um, nice to see you again.

/covers ears and looks away while dying internally of embarrassment

We are just a step before going too far here.

I'm just waiting for Yashiro to show up.

Now you're just tempting people...

So evil.

Lol honestly though, my thanks to you and the team for volunteering your free time to work on providing us all with the highest quality translation possible. I recently read the first light novel that was officially released in English, and, I have to say, this fan translation really does hold its own when compared to it. I'm really impressed that a fan project carried out in your free time can have the same level of quality as a professional product. So, really, thanks again to the team.
