dying her hair and changing her image to further herself from the past? only reason i can think of for the change.
That's what I was thinking as well. Nibutani has just been "Chitanda-ized".
And then there's that kiss in the Christmas OVA with Dekomori, perhaps it's awaken some yuri ojou-sama within her as a result.
Dekomori, who will have enrolled into Rikka's high school as a junior by now, is also shown with her hair down in some of the new official artwork, standing beside this new Nibutani, you'd think they're a natural yuri couple to begin with.
Yuri, The purest form of love. XD
Why was anyone surprised by this? Remember what them Fuckers did with that cocked up piece of turd NINE REPEAT N.I.N.E. episode repeating bullshit in haruhi?!
+
Again; why was anyone fucking surprised?!!
I remember well.
That was a REALLY freaking fucking annoying in that season of Haruhi.
But only in Nibutani?
Sankaku always hype news.
It's obvious that was something to do with the story and not just a "character redesign".
It's 8 m8.
I'm more surprised that you tried this hard.
black hair is currently back in, in japan, so why wouldn't the girl who wants to be seen as popular and trendy dye her hair to reflect this?
this. people are overreacting.
Rikka's hair is dark... BLUE.
With BLUE eyes.
Don't f*ck with me.
Never heard about color contacts?
ever heard about good dye jobs 1:55?
I think the PV speaks for itself, so many characters had exterior/mental changes to various degrees. Shinka was always dragged into their little world, much to her chagrin to change. But I think its safe to say that between S1-S2, she decided to go all in, especially with that "guten morgen." Acting in such a dignified cheesy way, clear case of an identity crisis.
Nibutani has relapsed to Chuunibyou mode, except with a new image! How the mighty had fallen.
All hope rests on you now, male protagonist.
Ah was thinking it was the lack of a shiny forehead on another character :P
her hair was dyed brown. its just regular hair color now. we pure asians all have black hair. deal with it.
haha, i can picture that idea.
Some Asians have brown-ish hair too, get over yourself.
I'm a Eurasian and it's almost completely black.
maybe in southwest asia, you obviously have no idea
Is black or brunnette her orignial hair colour?
I think its black right?
She dyed it brown because of that new image high school cool thing after leaving behind her middle school chuuni. You know image change.
I like her black hair though.
Her hips are the same size, they just appear wider because she's wearing a long A-line skirt; hence why you don't see many women wearing them IRL.
What an amazing optical illusion. You can easily see this by dragging the S1 Nibutani in comparison picture #1 onto S2 Nibutani in the same picture.
This change seems like a terrible idea.
Hidden bbee estiality fetish..
Like this? http://www.hentaibedta.net/zooerastia-regardless-of-my-adolescent-delusions-of-grandeur-i-want-bestiality-chuunibyou-english-hentai-bedta/
her hips region also became a bit wider.
*gasp*
new major plot twist: she's now pregnant ! (also, the dog did it, as it can be seen in pic 13 !)
But her boobs look smaller.
It's temporary and only lasts for 2 episodes, stop being butthurt.
lol, ya they actually do look a little smaller. How's that possible KyoAni? How's that possible?! She's a tight, soft, growing adolescent girl. If anything shouldn't her budding breasts and nipples get bigger?! What, are they feeding her properly? Is child abuse a major plot twist later in the season?!
I think some butt hurt feminist bitch was in a position of influence or power during production. That's the ONLY explanation!
Psst... the reason is because the animation company know how much you basement dwellwer like to fap to 2d, kay ;)
Seems like they didn't want to introduce Kazari Kannagi... This character from the novel is one of the main character of the Chuunibyou series, and looks a damn lot like this new Nibutani.
I guess that since Nibutani and Kazari in the novel didn't get that much spotlight, they fused the two of them in one character.
Err, Kannagi is in the anime too... She's just been relegated to background character status, that's all. But she's there.
it sounds too legit to believe it but it's the most sound as of yet so...
It's just my thought after reading the novels, but as an example in the trailer we see Nibutani with twinkles in her eyes. In the novel it's a thing that Kazari did, there's even an illustration for that.
Just search for Kazari Kannagi on Google, it's going to be one of the first picture.
Kazari is in the PV though...
from sexy cheerleader to sexy onee-sama
not even sexy
What the fuck.
CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!! She only does this for a couple of episodes. She "goes back to her Chuuni ways" to help Rikka out with a "project." she'll go back to her normal self afterwards.
Get rid of Yuuta and this new season is great.
Yuuta and Rikka are living together in the new season.
Deal with it.
Nope, and I kinda hope his old, Dark Flame Master persona to shine this time.
When is he going to say 'fuck it' and go back to being Dark Flame Master full time? Then the idiot couple can truly be the idiot couple.
seriously though...
what kind of trauma did she go through for that to happen? Even changing the way she talked..must have been pretty bad
oh wait nah she just did the fusion dance with Kazari.
FUUUUUU....SSSIIIOOONNNN....HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Cool, now she's not worst character
Wowow, Dat Indonesian JK uniform Σ(° △ °)
Lol that's what I thought. It's so similar infact maybe the same!
I wonder whose the artist that drew that.
it's actually photoshopped not drawn you moron
lol
i kinda like it tho
the power of putih abu-abu :3
So people DO cared about this .... what's her name again ?
