Blue Box Season 2

Okay so the whole episode builds to Taiki finally about to say the thing. He is standing there on the observation deck with the city lights below him and his heart going and you can feel every second of that silence because he has been waiting for months to get this out. And then a girl with long black hair strolls up and it is Yumeka the one teammate Chinatsu never talks about and she does not even look at Taiki she just calls Chinatsu by her nickname and asks if she gave up on basketball. That line lands like a slap after everything warm that came before it. Ending the premiere on a question instead of a confession is mean but it tells you exactly where this season is going to hurt

the new studio gave Chinatsu and Taiki slightly chubbier faces and I keep staring at it during quiet scenes. the sunset lighting is gorgeous though no complaints there

kazuma calling taiki protein-kun like he isnt the one crashing someones date is wild. perfectly punchable villain except he kinda has a point about the badminton thing and that bothers me more than the insults

lemme see bro

Chinatsu waiting on his platform instead of going to play with the university guys is the whole show in one shot. She chose him. Quietly. No big speech needed

Matsuoka walking into that cafe and just deciding the date is over now is the most infuriating thing I have watched all season. Dude called Taiki protein-kun and I sat there with my hands clenched

You can tell Taiki researched date spots because he panics when she mentions hers. That small confession from Chinatsu about googling spots for high schoolers did more for me than the whole cafe scene

Yumeka shows up in the last thirty seconds and asks Chinatsu if she gave up on basketball and I just sat there. They really ended the episode on that line. Cruel

Peak romance is back, and it delivers !! Love all the setups during this episode and all the cute moments between the main 2. From the visual standpoint it seems the quality has stepped up, im interested if the season will hold up this quality.

1) white hair dude pissed me off... 2)The classic character who was treated badly that's why she gave up on her dream and trashing on her ex teammate , I have seen this before can't remember tho, I think I will love this character later 😉 Yumeka and Natsu 😏...

the studio switch scared me going in and then that sunset shot on the observation deck happened. new team clearly knows what theyre doing with the lighting here

Matsuoka standing literally between them every time is some of the most infuriating blocking I have seen in a romance anime. Could not stop rolling my eyes at that guy

I get that Matsuoka is there to push Taiki but the guy lecturing him about time for romance while he sniped the whole date is rich. Taiki encouraging Chinatsu to go practice bugged me more than the insults

I couldn't stop smiling when Taiki's big romantic fantasy amounted to Chinatsu in different sportswear. two athletes dating means the date is a shopping trip for a track jacket and that is the most Blue Box thing possible

The animation studio change is noticeable and I am not fully on board. Some of the faces look a little off compared to season one. The lighting is gorgeous though so it evens out

not gonna lie the pacing on this premiere was tight. no dragged out cliffhanger no filler they just threw us straight into the date. season one would have stalled three episodes before the sports store

the moment Taiki offers Chinatsu his brand new jersey because she is cold and she just says it feels like deja vu. that got me. she remembered the muffler and the tea

That sunset talk ruined me. She found that spot researching date spots for high schoolers. She was already watching him train long before they lived together. I was not ready for her to be the one who was paying attention first

So are we just not talking about Matsuoka's silver hair or is that a basketball thing. Guy talks like he invented the sport. The espresso story was funny though I will give him that

Taiki y Chinatsu comparten una linda tarde juntos, aunque un personaje indeseable se suma y, al final, Chinatsu se reencuentra con alguien de su pasado. ¡Tengo muchas expectativas para esta temporada!
