KyoAni’s Kyoukai no Kanata has been combining cute girls, handsome if fully clad young men, and a good dose of storyline in what looks to be an attempt to appeal to all elements of their fanbase…
Am I gonna be some martian for saying I enjoy the male lead actually going and asking questions about the obvious problem? And...the other male already knows, too...so I'd say the two of them are about as far from useless for plot progression as any of the other characters.
Then again I like plot progression. Dunno about everyone.
I'm gonna just put it out there that I'm a little disappointed that this just turned into one of those "Who's a what" fight... c'mon guys... I know it's important to some of you but you don't talk back. I think the term is inflaming?
Anyway - for the posters who are relating it to Free, I'll put it out there that the only resemblance is the art style (and yes, some characters will seem familiar because of appearances. That's how style works). On the flip-side, though, this style was used for several shows that I can think of before free - like Hyouka, for example. And Hyouka is definitely not what Free was xD.
Also... for the posters who seem to have fujoshiphobia... it's just a style xD Let it go, man...
All in all, the animation was good, I like the character styles and the art, I don't mind the personalities, I found his mother hilarious, and I like the main female lead - even more without glasses (although opinions may differ)... a little annoyed at the black-haired girl, but then again I'm not a tsundere kinda guy. Good anime so far, proactive lead male - Ima keep watching :)
"Anything but Free!"
I disagree. This is just as otaku mocking as Free was.
This time not homoerotic theme instead of school girls, but MILFs hogging the fanservice while smaller girls get nothing. NOT A DAMN SEXUALIZED SCENE.
Counting down with each episode of this show, I want to name the major moe elements this show has MISSED. I mean, we've got girls with megane, oversized sweaters, ojous, wavy hair, tiny girls, tough girls, nee-sans, nekomimi, milfs, not to mention the pseudo-yaoi subtext for the fujioshi in the audience. About the only major things I'm seeing as missing so far are twintails, shimapan, and zettai ryouki. In short, this show needs Hatsune Miku.
Well, I suppose if it had a busty, tsundere meido as well, we'd be covering all our bases.
I'm moe-lovers and story lovers. I liked almost all Kyoani shows before Free!.
But this show is just a matter of time I will drop... I can't enjoy it at all. Especially the main female and main male protagonist. The story is lame and the presentation of the story is lame too.The design is the same and mediocre.
I predict this show will fail faced with many better Anime this season like : Kill la Kill and Nagi no Asukara.
This show will have the same fate with Tamako Market.
Are you blind? This is is anything but yaoi. Though I have to say, the female lead's personality leaves much to be desired. Her appearances are a pass though...kinda.
I agree. The female main lead character/personality is off-putting to me. The male main lead character looks like a wimp.
See anidb : http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=9518 [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=9518]
The battle is lame, male main protagonist is always running away, immortal but nothing cool/epic from him. He should just be dead already.
I spotted three bishounens in this show anyway. The bishoujo (girls) are left to be desired
Why? Because sancom is contextualising like fujoshi bait?
It's called a joke man, get over it.
It's nothing like fujoshi bait, watch the fucking show instead being influenced by other people. Go make your own decisions in life, you're a big kid now.
Time to learn a new language. The universal language is getting shittier by the year. Not much goods coming out other than generic shooters etc..... More
This anime could've been awesome if it wasn't for those two useless shit males.
Misandry!

3 milfs in this show. I approve.
Akihito will you be my Aniki? Coz I will DEFINITELY do your mom. Rawr!

before I get confusions, I meant "preference" in the third paragraph rather than "style" :x
Kthanksbye! And enjoy the show :D
Yuki mated with Mikuru, and now we have that cute monster slayer girl.
le kyoani face
What's with all the hot milfs this season? The mom in Gundam Build Fighters too. Not that I'm complaining!
Dat twerk!
Decent milfs but Akiko-san from Kanon is still my favorite. From the KyoAni remake of course.

What is the name of a fetish for girls in over-sized sweaters?
It's called "normality"
Only a fool would fail to appreciate the sexiness of big sweaters
Really customizable, but not everyone is okay with that.
Otaku
Fuckjoshits like you are the scums of the anime world. Keep your shit fantasies out of our anime!
Sometimes I wonder if those fujoshi haters even read anything written here.
get a brain idiothead
Lol whut?
A dude saying he has a fetish for girls in sweaters = fujoshi scum huh? You fucking morons are the same as ever.
"tell me again how fujoshi reek, are worthless and stuff... you must be such a macho man" originalwonka.jpg
I'm not even going to ask you to explain your "reasoning".
And the fujoshi take the field!
Nah but I am enjoying this.
Free! was way better than this.
If only the characters didn't look like K-ON characters.
They look nothing like k-on characters.
Other than the ones that do.
Okay guys, let's play a game.

This show sucks, since Free! Kyoani has degraded into Fujoshi-reeked Anime.
Taylor, get out of here please. Unnecessary hatred detected.
This appeals more to moe-lovers than fujoshi. Watch the episode before you judge instead of just looking at the screenshots retard.

when do the guys swim?
When they go to the swimming pool or the beach.
Where the fuck do you think they would swim?
must find fish tank first.
umad bro?
I really dislike moe glasses, make the girls look rather ugly.
Is that K-On! in pic 44?
No.
Are you sure? I mean... look at it
Goddammit! Another fucking yaoishit fuckjoshit bait! Instant drop!
Are you blind? This is is anything but yaoi. Though I have to say, the female lead's personality leaves much to be desired. Her appearances are a pass though...kinda.
(misses shows like Full Metal Panic)
I agree. The female main lead character/personality is off-putting to me. The male main lead character looks like a wimp.

There's a tag : Swordplay.
Beware of Swordplay ! It might turn into...
Do you even need to ask? He's definitely not blind. Just visually impaired.
No, moar liek mentally impaired.

He may actually NOT be a big kid now. Sometimes people act like idiot 12 year olds on the internet because they really are idiot 12 year olds.
okay, but i differentiate between the princess of 12 kingdoms, 12 year olds and "a common occurance" has happened: you see an comment! what do you do?
"flame it?"
"call it gay?"
"dont give a damn about it"
"troll it "
and then tell me please how you differentiate your costumers age without using a database.
KyoAni sure fucked up another wonderful anime with their fujoshit-pandering bullshit. What a shame.
KyoAni sure screwed another amazing anime with their fujoshit-pandering shit. What a wasted anime.
KyoAnus sure fucked up another wonderful anime with their fujoshit-pandering bullshit. What a shame.
