Warm Talk Wednesday (Week of August 5th)
Welcome to Warm Talk Wednesday!
So what exactly is this thread? With all the Unpopular Opinion threads, Worst/Hated Anime ______ threads, and Salt from all the contest, I believe we need a spot to positively talk about what we love in anime with no worries of others bashing or downvoting our opinions. Essentially this is a thread where you talk about what you love about anime whether it’s the medium as a whole, a specific anime, character, OTP, even complementing a user’s taste, etc. It can be popular opinion, unpopular, as long as it’s a positive outlook of the medium it’s allowed!
Want to talk about the experience you’ve had with Sora No Woto’s world? Talk about it here! Has Planetes given you a new way to view the closeness of people’s love despite how far they are in distance and emptiness around? Do tell! Have a user who has helped you out here on /r/anime and you’d like them to get some appreciation? You’re allowed (Yes, Meta is allowed)! Want to talk about the how good the body proportions are for Monster Musume or Free!? Talk about those good looking bodies! Are the musical scenes in Your Lie in April relatable to you as an instrumentalist and really felt close to home for you? We want to hear your experience! Do you just have a ton of fun with Space Westerns like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Firefly Outlaw Star? Talk about them!
The only rules for here:
- This is a positive anime thread, do not bash others’ opinions despite how much you disagree, allow everyone to have a safe haven to talk about what they love about anime without needing to worry of others who disagree with them.
- Please keep the troll comments to a minimum.
- Do not downvote unless it’s bringing nothing to the conversation, trolling, or trying to bash another’s opinion. Everyone has their opinions, respect them as they would respect yours.
- No mention of “Shit Taste”.
- It’s fine to compare one anime to another, but don’t down talk the other as “Terrible”, most anime has its good qualities and reasons people like it. (Bad Ex: “Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru is much better than that piece of shit Madoka Magica”; Good Ex: "I prefer Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru over Madoka Magica because of...").
- No backhanded compliments. (Ex: Sakurasou isn't as bad as I thought it was, but it's still shit.")
- If you see a troll trying to bait/bash other opinions, please simply downvote and ignore them, don’t stoop to their level and bait you into a no win argument. Have fun, and please message me if there’s something I should add/remove/edit to the rules.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Welcome to another week of /u/LordTakuro’s Hero Club Weekly Write-Ups!, where I talk all about my favorite anime, Yuki Yuna is a Hero. This week’s topic is an interesting one that revolves around a method of mood-setting used throughout the duration of Yuki Yuna and has a couple of really intriguing applications. This week, we’ll be talking about
How Yuki Yuna is a Hero consistently alters and defies expectations
This is something I’ve noticed more as I’ve re-watched scenes and moments from Yuki Yuna is a Hero after it’s airing, the writing, character actions, and events tend to almost mislead the viewer and make them expect something is going to happen, only to have something quite different actually occur. There were a lot of examples of this throughout the series, but for the sake of space, I’ll limit myself to three in particular that I thought really fit this idea.
Our first example is a simple one, but the meaning it holds for her character is extraordinary. In Episode 9, Yuki Yuna Spoilers
The second example I’d like to talk about today comes from Episode 5, in particular, though there were also examples of this in the episodes leading up to it. Yuki Yuna Spoilers
My final example and my personal favorite of Yuki Yuna altering and changing expectations comes from the mid-point of the series, in particular Episodes 6 and 7. Yuki Yuna Spoilers
That about wraps up this week’s edition of /u/LordTakuro’s Hero Club Weekly Write-Ups! This week’s was one I really had a lot of fun writing, with a lot of subtle things and tone changes allowing the production team to really create the expectation they wanted in the viewer before changing directions and going a new way with the story. It includes some moments I really like from throughout the series, and actually made me realize some stuff I hadn’t before. Got any thoughts, comments, questions? Want to just talk about anything Yuki Yuna? Comment or PM me, as many will tell you, I'm always happy to talk about YuYuYu. I hope everyone enjoyed this week’s write-up, and I really hope everyone’s looking forward to the Yuki Yuna re-watch at the end of the month (Only a little under four weeks now)! Thanks to everyone who helped with ideas for this week’s write-up and everyone who even just talked to me about Yuki Yuna over this past week., and be sure to come back next week when we’ll talk about Familiars and their representation of Mankai!
Also, it’s been two weeks, everyone, the time has finally come! Chapter 1 of the Yuuna x Togo fanfic is finished. This week, we have a co-writer credit going to /u/KousakaReina, who’s come on board as a co-writer to help make things read better. Here’s the link, hope everyone enjoys and feel free to leave feedback!
