[Spoilers] Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku - Episode 1 [Discussion]

Hopefully the other thread doesn't get taken down for not being /u/shadoxfix certified but I'll copy-paste my comment from there just in case:

Hey, you're not shadoxfix! Fuck it, whatever I waited 12 fucking hours to have an actual discussion (damn it feels good to know moon)

This episode was RUSHED AS FUUUUCK. Seriously it's going at the pace of S1 but there are less volumes to adapt. I'm hoping that it's because they want to spend more time on volumes 8 and 9 but it still doesn't excuse it from cutting out the ramen scene (it was 2 fucking seconds) and other stuff. Is the director a Yui fag? They cut out most of the Yukino and Hiratsuka scenes in favor of Yui. Granted Yui has a larger presence this volume but still. Other than the stupid shipping shit it completely glossed over how 80000 is no longer the most hated person in school and everyone playing UNO.

I was skeptical at the new designs at first but now I like them (well I liked them got a while now actually). For the most part everyone is the same but better except 8man and Yukino, not that I hate them. Hachiman gives off a different "feel" than S1 does. I feel like he's more cynical this season. Yukino looks different but in a good way. It's hard to fuck her up horribly anyways.

Overall this episode was okay I guess. I'm less optimistic about this adaptation wise but it's only the first episode so we'll see how it goes.

In other notes, animation quality got a hell of a lot better and there are less QUALITY moments so I'm happy about that. Why does Sagami appear in the ED? Fuck off slut, you're not relevant anymore. The OP was nice (thank you Nagi Yanagi) but it reused a lot of clips from the episode and PV and there is a distinctive lack of Iroha.
