Anyone Else Slightly Disappointed With How Season Two Has Gone?

Anyone else slightly disappointed with how season two has gone?

Season 2 is less than 24 hours away!

Before the premiere, I wanted to quickly jot down (in no particular order) some things I hope to see in this new season.

1: Parents. The whole time rewatching season 1, I kept thinking, “where are these kids’ parents?” 😆 Even when Ichigo is taken to Aoyama’s house as a cat, his parents are no where to be found. Mint and Ichigo at least mention their parents, but we never see them. Now, we do have confirmation that Ichigo’s parents will make an appearance in the first episode (about time!), but I really want them to explore the other girls’ parent situations.

2: More backstory for the other girls. We’ve gotten some for Mint already (but I won’t say no to more), and Pudding has at least had her siblings introduced early on, but we have virtually nothing for Lettuce and Zakuro. Those two were snubbed in the manga and OG anime too, so I really hope they don’t get the shorter end of the stick yet again. Give us Lettuce’s brother! Seiji got to be a prominent side character, why can’t Uri?

3: I want the follow up to the IchiRyou scene in episode 2!

Ryou has to walk her home (for whatever reason, it doesn’t really matter why), and he has to apologize, it was such a huge moment for his character development in the manga, and if they throw it out, I’m going to riot (ok , maybe not riot, but I will be very upset, and this version will lose points for me)!

4: I want a birthday episode. I know that’s really random, but I just want it 😆 Since this seems to start at the beginning of the school year (so like mid April in Japan), Ichigo’s birthday is out, and probably Lettuce too. The next birthday would be Ryou in June, which I think would be hilarious, because he totally seems like the kind of person that would like to ignore his birthday, and it would be funny to see the girls (and Keiichiro) make him celebrate it! 😆

That’s assuming we didn’t pass his birthday (because season 1 does seem to end around June, given the rain, and the fact the Mint only has a couple days to decide if she’s going to an American school), in which case, the next birthday would be Pudding. That could be a lot of fun!

5: More original episodes that help expand the story and develop all the characters better. In other words, I don’t them to try to finish off the series in this season, I want them to take their time, then they can wrap things up in a third season. There was so much build up to Mint using the Mew Aqua rod, that I feel it would be too fast paced if the other three all used the rod in the same season. The mid season climax can be Lettuce using the Mew Aqua rod, and then the season finale can be Pudding using it; season 3’s mid season climax can be Zakuro using the rod, and the finale would obviously be the fight with Deep Blue. Then we can have a season 4, where Berry actually gets introduced properly, and the story isn’t a rushed mess 😅 Maybe we can get a movie adaptation of the PS game and see Ringo animated. And then we can end the series with an expanded ReTurn; and since we start the series with them all (except Pudding) in high school, we can end the series with them graduating, and Ichigo and Aoyama actually getting married. In fact, I hope they don’t end the first series with the mock wedding, because I feel like an actual wedding would be a much better pay off (as much as it will hurt Ryou’s little heart 😭)

I can’t breath, I’m drowning on this ship! 😍

Oh, no, i’m reacting as if I actually LIKE him.

After being on cloud nine last week, Ichiyama came back this week to blow holes in my ichiryou ship with their cannon. 😒

I’m feeling the feels! 😭

My boy is so sad! He was so upset, he left, and we didn’t see him the rest of the episode. Although, I was half expecting him to show up whenever Ichigo finally ran into Aoyama, but Quiche joyed us with his presence instead 😝 I am glad that it’s being made painfully clear that Quiche is psychotic and out of his flipping mind! 😆 The ship is not sea worthy 😅

Anyway, after Zakuro joined, the shipping pattern to the episodes continued (7 Aoyama, 8 Ryou, 9 Aoyama), but it looks like next episode will feature both boys:

And they’re finally going to meet face to face! 🤩

This is one of my favorite scenes in the manga!

I noticed that Ryou is smiling in the preview shot, which makes me think he’s about to do this:

Is he trying to make Aoyama mad? 😆 Or does he just want an excuse to touch Ichigo? 🤣

This will also be the first time Ichigo turns into a cat, which makes me wonder if we’ll get the follow up scene to Ichigo and Ryou’s episode two scene:

Or maybe we’ll get it in the episode after? 🤔 All I know is they better include it at some point! I don’t care if my ship is full of holes, I’m sailing on it anyway!

I’ll end this post with my disdain for Keiichiro’s indecisiveness in this last episode 😝

Make up your mind Keiichiro! Are you team Ryou or team Masaya? Pick one!

Still my favorite character

That’s so sweet!!!!! 😍 Ryou tried to make a cake for his Onii-Chan 😭

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, my mind is still going crazy from episode 6! 🤯

So, we didn’t get to see the StrawBell Bell Version Up. Part of me is ok with that because it does feel a little too soon for that (even though I wanted my theory to be true 😭), but I’m also kind of disappointed we didn’t get it because I really wanted to see how they were going to animate this ridiculous looking thing 😆

Hopefully we’ll see it in a later episode (and maybe then my theory will be proven correct! 🤩). My disappointment though is completely overshadowed though by the fact that we got to see Ichigo and Ryou FaceTiming each other!

😍 Keep shoveling on the false hope, please! The deeper I’m buried, the better! I want to be so deep into that ship that I’m utterly devastated when it inevitably sinks! 😆😫
