Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Crescent Love: Episode 2

Impressions:
That was crap. Seriously. It seems like too much money was spent on the first episode so the second one really stunk. The quality was so crap. The producers even neglected to put a few extra people on the streets outside. The facial animation was all over the place, very inconsistent and simple as well (lack of shading etc). At least Feena blushed more than the average princess in 20 minutes, but even those were shown by a few scrappy looking red lines. Disappointing…and the show started off well too. With such a good start, I didn’t think the quality would bomb this bad. I can’t think of anything good about the episode…>=( Veryyy bad…if this wasn’t a single season series I would be considering dropping it now. The next episode better be much better than this episode.

Ok now, moving away from the bad comments and onto the actual events in the episode, which are actually pretty good. We see more development between Feena and Tatsuya (yay!) though Tatsuya still seems to be clueless about his past with the princess. Nevertheless, he is definitely falling for Feena. The nose pitching is a pretty clear indication of this, though I still find that habit a bit strange. Another thing, that camera guy who’s name I can’t remember is hilarious! I love it how he appears so suddenly, almost as much as the chibi scenes which were less effective this episode…such a shame. And ‘Master Carbon’ too lol; what an ingenious name! *Sigh* I can definitely see myself enjoying this series 100x more if the goddamn quality was higher. Argh, how could they run out of money this early in the series?!

I wonder why Feena is so strict on Mia. She’s so relaxed with everyone else, even allowing them to call her by her first name without a –sama or anything. She didn’t even do anything when the camera dude showed Tatsuya a hawt picture of Feena changing xD!! I was expecting a dramatic scene where a devil Feena is surrounded by blazing fire with a shadow over her eyes. But I guess that would’ve been too expensive. I wish more characters were introduced this episode (sorry, my paragraphing isn’t that bad, it’s just that I like having them the same size). The other characters should get more screen time and interaction as well. I really like Midori but her appearance was short. Too much time spent on Feena and Tatsuya so their relationship is developing to fast. They should relax a bit on their part and just make them fall in love with each other while they’re on a date on the moon or something lol.

Plot Outline:
- At home, Mai is surprised that Tatsuya is calm about Feena being in the same class as him

- Feena comes into the room in her new school uniform

- Mia asks if she can accompany Feena to school but is not allowed to
- As Feena, Mai and Tatsuya are walking to school, Feena marvels at the river as there are only artificial rivers on the moon
- At school, Feena is introduced to the class
- No one is willing to talk to her except Midori (and Natuski after some encouragement from Tatsuya)
- Natsuki lets slip that Feena is staying at Tatsuya’s place
- The boys of the class immediately drag Tatsuya outside and start questioning him about all sort of things

- After managing to satisfy the guys, Tatsuya returns to class to find all the girls talking with Feena, happy because the ice had been broken
- During PE, Feena shows off her skills in kendo
- During lunch, Tatsuya is unable to buy lunch due to long lines, but thankfully Mia comes to school with sandwiches
- Feena scolds her for coming but Tatsuya defends her
- The camera guy shows up and gives Tatsuya a pic of Feena changing
- Feena snatches it off Tatsuya while blushing furiously
- The man makes off with on the shoulders of some unknown random
- Tatsuya wants to take Feena out but she is dragged away for political duties
- At night, Tatsuya wonders what he can do for Feena to help her
- When Feena gets back from her duties late at night, Tatsuya greets her with a ‘good night’ as it is the only thing he can do for her currently
- Tatsuya pinches Feena’s nose out of the blue but recoils immediately
- Feena isn’t the least bit annoyed about this

I don’t have any problems with quality of this show, actually I don’t even mind, I guess people wants more high expectations, maybe they got corrupted by kanon quality!
feena is angry because mia refused to sleep with her in the same bedroom, and she’s pissed at her even if it was just a silly thing. then at morning well i guess she’s all cold toward her because of what happened yesterday. ~_~
I wasnt spoiled by Kanon’s quality, but the quality of the first episode. Since the first ep was pretty good quality, I now know this show is capable of much more, which is why i was dissapointed at the drop in quality.
Oh, so I wasn’t the only one who was sane and noticed that huge quality drop. Thought I was getting weird or something because no one pointed that until now. I’m really getting tired of all those Fap Fap Feena guy’s running around. -_-;;
Eh…I don’t know. From the previews, it doesn’t look like the production values will get any better for the next episode. The chibi’s this episode didn’t leave as much impact as the ones in first episode either.
Tatsuya still seems to be clueless about his past >
one of those eh? hehe
Dunno why Feena would be so strict with Mia, but could be like a Lafiel syndrom. ^^; Hime Hime-sama’s lol
Kanon’s quality?!? Surely you mean its lack of quality, it’s upscaled from 720×480, not filtered and cleaned at all, one of the worst upscales BS-I has done to date.
timecop, uh.. maybe its your sub/raw thats bad, or do u watch it from tv? I think its fine…
Hey, I’m proud of you danny. I don’t think i’ve seen you say anything bad about an anime yet. I too noticed that this anime kinda sucks. I’ll still be watching it but I don’t see a damn good thing about it. I just wanna see him nosegrab his sister again or Midori yes! i heart green hair.
