Fuuka

Yuu Haruna just moved into town and loves to use Twitter. Out on his way to buy dinner, he bumps into a mysterious girl, Fuuka Akitsuki, who breaks his phone thinking he was trying to take a picture of her panties. How will his new life change now?

episode 1 and 2 are out
--------------------------

Off to a good start. It´s been a long time since I´ve seen a good romance and this promises an interesting love triangle.
Since I have a knack for cute girls with short blue hair *cough*, I´m obviously in #teamfuuka. Which brings me to my biggest problem atm: The series is called "Fuuka". That´s ... kinda biased in her favor, right? And it makes me question if the other girl even has a realistic chance at "winning" his heart. She´s his childhood friend, though, so that gives her an edge ... which is countered by him and Fuuka already having been on two dates. And I loved the ending line exchange: "We´re not a real couple, after all." - "We don´t know that, yet!" Damn, Fuuka <3

I hope the childhood friend gains some points, too, in the upcoming episodes, so it becomes a more unpredictable outcome. And I´m looking forward to seeing Fuuka singing.

Did you watch the prequel of this story, Suzuka?

[MFauli]

Is the prequel related to this story or just part of a franchise? Anyway, no, I havent watche Suzuka, is it necessary?

[shinta|hikari]

The prot is Fuuka's dad. It's drama with sprinting and sports mixed in.

[MFauli]

Ok, but you probably don´t need to know about that previous show to understand this one, right? At least I had no troubles following the first two episodes. If "Suzuka" is as good, I might watch it in the future, though.

[shinta|hikari]

It is pretty good.

[MFauli]

You still haven´t told us if you´re Team Fuuka or Team Childhoodfriend, though!

[shinta|hikari]

I never like ditzy childhood friends unless they are secretly yandere (Shuffle!).

[Kraco]

Fuuka has very beautiful breasts.

I don't really know which one to support right now. Fuuka is an interesting personality and her energetic and pushy nature might be something an introverted social media addict like the MC would need (in retrospect he's not nearly as twitterous now as he was in the beginning, already all thanks to her). However, Koyuki doesn't seem bad either and her behavior is cute. She hasn't let her success turn her into an arrogant bitch in the least.

It's a pity I dislike triangles (or polygons with even more corners), so I'm not particularly looking forward to that aspect of the story. Knowing Suzuka I reckon it will play a heavy role, though.

episode 3 is out (come on, guys, dont always wait for me :P)
----------------------------------------

the first meeting of the two heroines!!1 And what a cliffhanger. Either Fuuka runs off, or she starts gushing for the "idol". I´m leaning towars the latter ;D

Also, Fuuka in swimsuit ... damn

[shinta|hikari]

That drowning scene made no sense. Fuuka's leg cramped up, Yuu tried to save her, and then they somehow switched places. Wut?

[Kraco]

That drowning scene made no sense. Fuuka's leg cramped up, Yuu tried to save her, and then they somehow switched places. Wut?

Yeah, that was bizarre. But then again, considering Yuu is such a social media and smartphone addict, I'll allow him to fail where nobody else would.

I dislike triangles, but I'm looking forward, even if just a bit, to how Yuu explains knowing Fuuka's greatest idol so personally yet never said a word about it. It would be easy enough to come up with an explanation, but Yuu is a twitter bastard, so can he get anything out of his mouth?

[MFauli]

episode 4 is out
---------------------

It´s kinda weird. The YuuXFuuka-couple is already kinda established. There´s no other to interpret the reactions of her seeing him with Koyuki, and then her being mad all day, until they make up and blush. Seeing how Koyuki intentially created the misunderstanding, I almost expect her to become an obnoxious, cunning bitch who keeps trying to snatch Yuu from Fuuka. Otherwise there´s currently no real triangle going on.

And damn, Fuuka is so fine. That one flashback-still image from ep3 was enough to make me lose my mind :P

[Kraco]

It's not like Koyuki would know anything about Fuuka or that twitter bastard's relationship with her. Apparently Koyuki has liked Yuu ever since they were children, but the music business took her away and for whatever reason (like plot convenience) she only just now got back to him. It's not actully implausible even in RL since working in the music business would have made Koyuki a kid following the orders of adults. It just might have taken this long to build up her own ego enough to do things on her own. Obviously she wouldn't now want to lose Yuu to some other girl the moment they finally met again.

I just hope Yuu had more guts, at least as much as a normal person. He's an annoying introvert social media addict. Taking a photo of the night sky with the bloody flash enabled only made me dislike him all the more. Not to mention how funny it was that during the concert he was only standing still on the stage with his mouth hanging open. But as expected of a twitter bastard, he didn't even realise himself how ridiculous he looked. Naturally the audience didn't pay attention to a ghost like that, so in that sense he was saved by external circumstances.

Fuuka is so awesome and beautiful that Yuu should man the fuck up to stand beside her.

[MFauli]

That´s actually a good point: Has Yuu done anything that explains two beautiful girls falling in love with him?

[shinta|hikari]

He became a protagonist.

[MFauli]

episode 5 is out
--------------------

He became a protagonist.

Considering he just got himself ANOTHER love interest, yeah.

sigh, this is starting to feel like watching Kirito. Girl after girl falling for him. This latest episode was really bad. Too many coincidences. Why does Fuuka not realize what´s going on between Sara and Yuu? She instantly got fed up with Koyuki.

Oh well. I´m sure I´ll be entertained by this anime through to the end, but it probably won´t be as good as I hoped it to be.

[Kraco]

His messaging buddy turning out to be the hot girl coincidentally joining the same band is something that only happens in romcom. That was pretty thick, for sure. I don't honestly know why the story needed a third girl. Fuuka and Koyuki should have been plenty. Those two were even pretty solid being the childhood love interest and now the high school love interest. Of course one can view Sara as his social media interest, but in all honesty this show should be about curing that twitter bastard from his twitter disease.

Well, whatever, at least the band got another girl so it doesn't look like a reverse harem.

[shinta|hikari]

She is hot, so I'm cool with it.

[MFauli]

That´s why I feel her entry was so unnecessary.Sara truly feels like a tacked-on harem girl, turning this anime into SAO.
Imagine True Tears throwing a third love interest at you in its 4th/5th episode. Would completely ruin the dynamic. And we KNOW that Sara won´t have a real shot at the hero, ffs, even Koyuki is highly unlikely to truly have a chance to win him over, so why bother with another, less likely candidate? Weird.

She is hot, so I'm cool with it.

Classic shinta. Also: Agreed (those booooooooooobs! Also, did I mention boobs? Lol, she reminds me of Highschool of the Dead´s Busujima).
