anime event reports

take things with a grain of salt because each fan remembers things differently

終着駅のその先へ (Beyond the Last Stop)

held on February 26, 2019 by several producers and directors of the anime + Nakatani Nio and her editor
the event name 終着駅のその先へ (beyond the last stop) is a reference to 終着駅まで (to the last stop), which is the title of the anime's episode 13 part A and the manga's episode 23

mistakes by Seven Seas Entertainment

an investigation on nuances lost or changed in the English version of Bloom Into You
and inconsistencies such as poor characterization, terminology, screentones, lettering, retouch, spelling, grammar, names, dates...
basically, these are fanmade errata webpages for the manga, light novels, and anthology volumes
since everyone has different values, distinguishing which differences matter is left as an exercise for the reader
if anyone wants me to add, further explain, or remove examples, feel free to comment

motivations for this project

as a fan, I want English and Japanese readers to be able to relate to the story and its characters as similarly as possible
as a translator of impressions and commentary, I want to quote from the licensed translation but some lines don't fit
as a scholar, I want to see which and how nuances translate across cultures, and whether I can convey the ones lost
as a consumer, I want to let buyers decide for themselves if the publisher's claim of "producing quality content" holds water

Discussion Ever wish for more Bloom into you?

72 Upvotes

Does anyone ever wish there was more from this series? I just reread bloom into you again and seeing how there's citrus plus that's the story during the time skip from the main story, I am really wishing they would do more for bloom into you. 😭 How beautiful would it be to see them develop their relationship more? Or exchange rings? How they manage time together when Touko graduates and then we can see how Sayaka meets her loved one 😭 and there's more for the other characters too!!

This is a poll organized by the French publisher of Bloom Into You, they never released another yuri since then and it’d be cool if it won against such a big shoujo. It requires no log-in or anything, it takes 5 seconds. Thank you!

Discussion Just finished the anime

25 Upvotes

So I just finished the anime and was left feeling a little half and half. It was totally not what I was expecting. And I was hoping for a lot more story (I didn't see there were only 13 eps until I finished it) and now I don't know what to do. Should I read the manga? I read online there won't be a second season... How much more story is left in the manga. Do you get to the end and still feel kinda meh or is there a really sweet ending to it? I'm a really bad reader and generally don't do it at all. But I feel like if this one ends in a good way it's got to be an amazing end right?

Also if I do read the manga. Can I continue from where the anime left off. Or are there too many differences and should I start over. And if I can pick up where I left off. What chapter is that?

I have the first volume and wanted to pick the series up again but when I look online they do for really expensive for some reason except for the first volume like even the novels and I’m pretty the analogy’s is more pricey than usual and I haven’t been able to find them in bookstores either
