First episode today bros. Are we ready?
Mix
All Adachi works are the same.
I think this series is better suited for watching it in large chunks. I guess I'll watch Touch in the meantime.
Hell yeah.
What's so good about Touch? Seemed like it was super popular in Japan.
are we going to get some baseball, or is it just drama shit?
>What's so good about Touch?
nothing. it's just a boring love triangle
>14 Volumes (Ongoing)
Oh boy
fuck off
if you'd watched it you would know it's not a love triangle, since Kazuya literally never had a chance with Minami and fucking dies in the first arc.
How could it be a love triangle when one of the sides is dead?
I liked Cross Game more than Touch.
How is H2 compared to any of those?
both. baseball is always the catalyst for drama in adachi.
also, NO sports anime is good focused purely on sports, let's be 100% honest now.
The manga is probably closer to ending. Hopefully the anime covers everything unlike H2.
Also, is anyone picking this up to sub? I've only seen that it's being simulcast in French.
will we get another kino moment like this one, Yea Forums?
No, but i can see CR announcing it last minute.
>Minami and fucking dies in the first arc.
shit, how long does that take? I don't wants to sit through 30 episodes before she kicks it
no, minami doesn't die lmao.
Kazuya does.
If want an Adachi work similar to Touch then go for Cross Game.
>NO sports anime is good focused purely on sports
um, hello
Cross Game is nothing like touch though, it's like Touch for babies or something. H2 is closer to Touch.
twins always die in sports anime.
>always
the trope started with Touch
it's a terrible trope. I see why they made Kazuya so boring
I liked Kazuya, I felt bad for him since it was clear he was doomed to suffer and Minami NTR'd him at literally every instance she could.
>Cross Game is nothing like touch though, it's like Touch for babies or something. H2 is closer to Touch.
Both Cross Game and Touch have the death of an important character who's passing plays a huge part in how the story pans out. I'm reading H2 atm, and it's nowhere near as sad as either of those works.
airing now
Wait, what other twins die?
the stream here: itver.cc
It just is a good mix of drama, sports and comedy.
The heroine is a bit too much Yamato Nadeshiko, though (I like tomboys better).
The baseball is good, but the drama is kinda shit in H2: it is the same retarded trope of the girl liking the MC more than her boyfriend but still staying with the latter ad nauseam.
>of the girl liking the MC more than her boyfriend but still staying with the latter ad nauseam.
Damn, I was rooting for Hiro and Hikari.
didn't the brother in area no kishi die?
Yeah, but I don't remember them being twins.
>funimation
Ugh
H2 is better.
Rips when?
Hello, subs?
I dropped the manga because the translation was so slow. Does it get good?
The Tachibana twins in Tsubasa still alive and well.
Nah, fuck H2 and Hideo.
>French rips already out before English
funimation.com
I wonder if it's Funi being Funi or just HS bot being shit.
Where the fuck can I actually find this show? Kitsu doesn't even have this listed
Commie will save us from Funi or HS.
>[Ninelie] Mix - 01 VOSTFR [1080p].mkv
English subs never. Fuck Funi.
God damn Funimation is back in town. Fuck em.
>Still no anime adaption of Rough
Fuck.
I was going to watch this but now Funimation is streaming it fuck that
Aren't all of the author's main characters exactly the same?
>Funi said the episode is available on their Twitter
>Still no rips on Nyaa
I wish the author does more stuff like pic related since of high school stories..
And the plot's the same. Stupid love triangles/squares with shit endings.
No.
and
No.
Just because he has a sameface problem doesn't mean all the characters are identical in personality.
It's not true at all.
I dunno where there Adachi haters are coming from, but surely it's unwarranted.
Literally can't find this fucking show anywhere, I give up
There are like 3 rips on Nyaa, non of them have the English subs though
>MIX - 01 (1280x720 x264-10b AAC 24fps) [690A9D1D].mkv
I only saw two rips which are presumably from French simulcast site and they are just different resolutions. Other ones are just raws. Tfw no Erai or someone else to the rescue.
I'm having mixed feelings about this one.
It seems to be the case the only place to get it right now is Funimation, hopefully that keeps up because this show looks good but there's not a chance in hell I'm gonna use Funimation
That's just raws
I actually feel that Mix’s story is just getting started. Why did Mitsuru decided to make such a long story at the end of his life I don’t know but it makes me worried that he will kick the bucket before it’s finished
English rips never.
give me subs!!!!!!!
I'll just have to learn French. Must be easier than Japanese.
Do I have to have any knowledge of Touch to watch this?
>[HorribleSubs] Mix - Meisei Story - 01 [720p].mkv
Now to wait for someone else to watch it and find out how shit the subs are.
>muh feels
is there a determined episode count for this yet? I'm assuming it'll be just as long as cross game, maybe 50+ like touch.
>how shit the subs are.
They include sound effects, they label which character is speaking during conversations, and the subs are like Kotobuki where they read like dub scripts. They properly convey the meaning, but they aren't quite accurate.
it's TATSUYA!!!!!
At least 2 cour since BnHA will replacing this on October.
!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to watch comfy Adachi baseball adaption, we are truly blessed.
Never watched/read an Adachi series, is this a good place to start?
As someone without experience I have to admit arr rook the same.
>24 fps
Dropped
god these funimation subs are so fucking trash
Am I just imagining it or did the OP reference the first two Touch OPs?
They could be just random shots/a coincidence but they were both in quick succession so I wonder if that was intentional.
twitter.com
1:03 is the way the second OP starts and in the very next cut the gymnastics ribbon thing was in the first OP too, animated in the same style.
I'd say watch other first. Adachi stories is best to watch/read from start to finish without waiting. Try Cross Game firdt since it's newer, because Touch is kinda old and may turn off some people.
some pages from Touch manga
>did the OP reference the first two Touch OPs
it definitely did.
Literal deaf people subs.
ah, that classic adachi 4th wall break
I wonder if they actually put English dub script as English subs.
Pls someone deliver us form these cancer subs.
They put subs for sound effects but they don't bother to sub this, sasuga.
#believe in herkz
Huh, I might just pick this up after all.
Ass too fat.
Ah why a sequel
So those two aren't actually siblings or do they just have different mothers?
pretty sure it's standalone and people even wonder why it's called a sequel.
it's in the same universe, and is set at the exact same high school.
not really a direct sequel though, just referential to Touch.
Comfy OP and ED
But who is going to die?
I hope the drama in this is as good and comfy as in CrossGame
This is the only Adachi work I've never read, so I'm looking forward to it. Can a mangafag spoil me on it?
Let me guess the plot.
There is a love triangle but not really, someone dies, make a promise for reaching/attending Koushien.
The MC hides his actual skill compared to his sibling's, to "support" him, etc...
cause he's overrated as fuck
So who's the bastard son from different parents? Will we get not-incest?
just read Touch
>overrrated
How can he be overrated if he's literally never even talked about on Yea Forums, let alone the West.
I seriously cannot think of a less hateable mangaka, his works are so inoffensive and hardly divisive.
Wake me up when Diamond no ace airs
"reviewers" act like he is the greatest sports writer ever
>those subs
Hard pass for me, I'll wait for fan ones.
>anime
>reviewers
Like anyone who reviews anime for a living matters.
First episode already aired user.
He's somewhat similar to the Rumiko in the sense that from an outsider's perspective a lot of his stories just feel very same-y (the baseball focus, the character design re-use, the whole youth passion deal he loves, etc etc) so if someone who just tries one of his series randomly and dislikes it is probably bound to dislike him as a whole, if that makes sense.
Also I can see some puritans hating him on principle because of Miyuki or Jinbee, what with the incest stuff even though they're both great - I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention them in that context but I never looked for opinions on those around and I can definitely imagine something like that existing especially in the US since there's so many braindead anime "fans" over there that love getting mad about nothing.
cute imouto
You lie. HOLY SHIT A NEW SEASON HAS BEEN GREENLIT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
based retard
I'm guessing that they are adopted
someone please spoil who's gonna die?
Yeah. The commercial too.
Kazuya. The Kazuya looking character always dies.
but, I'm at a loss because the brothers both play different positions.
from the spoilers I've read I don't think anyone dies. The pitcher is a step-brother so I'm expecting not-incest between him and the sister, and I think the catcher gets into a love triangle with someone too, but no death as far as I know
It's gonna be harada sadly.
man the subs are terrible
here's the page.
this was terrible
i mean touch was boring after the first 26 episodes but this is just awful
Neat, thanks.
it's fine, you can go back to watching OPM instead.
even with JC staff fucking up OPM it will still look better than this slideshow of recycled adachi characters/ideas
why were you watching in the first place if you don't even like adachi?
because he has actually demonstrated at times that he's a capable writer when he wants to write drama and doesn't reduce his characters to a handful of his own cliches and catchphrases like LET'S GO TO THE KOSHIEN.
there wasn't any catchphrases this episode, nor mention of desire for koshien minus one gag character.
also, this is literally the first fucking episode, nothing has happened except for character introductions/mystery setup around the siblings blood relations, and references to past glory.
like damn, if you knew adachi, you'd know someone isn't going to get hit by a truck in episode one. it's always been a slow/mono no aware-like journey, which are broken by moments of drama--and it's repercussions.
literally don't see the problem with it though, if this bothers you, why are you watching baseball anime in the first place? yeah, the ultimate goal is ALWAYS going to be the Koshien. This is Japanese high school baseball, user.
>every baseball anime has to be the same cliche let's go to the koshien aniki story
not true at all but ok.
>someone isn't going to get hit by a truck in episode one
Yeah, Wakaba survived for about 18 minutes
What else could they be aiming for? It's like the only tournament there is.
World cup?
For highschoolers?
they don't HAVE to be aiming for anything. you know this is all FAKE right? nobody HAS to aim for the koshien, they can just be playing baseball for fun, to kill time, or because it looks good on a high school resume, whatever the reason. the aim for the top approach to sports anime is just so tired and cliche, especially considering adachi has done it so many times before
Some sports have world cup for under 18.
>they can just be playing baseball for fun, to kill time, or because it looks good on a high school resume
now THAT sounds like a boring fucking anime, to be quite honest. If we're not aiming for the top, what the hell is the goddamn point?
also, Adachi series is always about the journey anyway, baseball and winning the Koshien are only the stages which culminate the drama.
>now THAT sounds like a boring fucking anime, to be quite honest. If we're not aiming for the top, what the hell is the goddamn point?
obviously that wouldn't be the entire show you tard
>Adachi series is always about the journey anyway, baseball and winning the Koshien are only the stages which culminate the drama.
oh yes please tell me about how great touch's journey was. you know the story where the main romantic leads don't even interact with each other for 50 episodes.
That user is correct. Adachis works are bland and lacking any variety in terms of story structure, characters and themes.
This is such a stupid criticism, you really have no reason to be watching sports anime, period. A successfully story of an athlete requires drive and motivation. It requires effort, perseverance, failure.
I don't think you realize how important the symbol of Koshien is, with regards to youth and coming-of-age. A baseball series is nothing without it.
>don't even interact with each other for 50 episodes.
HUh???? Did we watch the same anime? Minami and Tatsuya are thinking about each other and interacting with each other every fucking episode.
I still miss piss yellow subs.
>These subs
What in the fucking world is this shit? It's clearly obvious what character is speaking or making a noise.
Two baseball shows in one season though, I'm so fucking pleased.
He didn't watch it.
NBR shit.
It's lame as fuck I agree but that's beside the point for people looking to get mad about stuff.
>two
Three.
the family dynamic is like Phineas and Ferb, the brothers are the same age (same birthday here too) but there’s no blood relation, their parents remarried when they were little kids.
