A new “uniform”?
the small kuhai with looks loli but with a body so luscious it’s causing controversy, he’s returned! And with it his witty humor, which is not only generated by the protagonists, but also by secondary characters such as Me Y sakaki. Indeed being the two who amused me the most in this first episode of Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double. But the one that got my full attention was without a doubt Me and his “uniform” plan. After all, it was the return of uzaki with the suit of bunny girl (even if you haven’t put it on).
With a huge weakness for this suit in particular, I couldn’t help but be excited to see it animated for once. And the best part is that he even had his own Me put it on However, I really appreciate it fan serviceI won’t deny that the main spectacle I wanted to see with the suit was the mother of Hanna, Tsuki. Even if it was pure imagination Me or the same Tsuki.
This little mini arc of the new uniform became my favorite scene Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double – Chapter 1. Obviously for the fan servicebut also because it helped me remember the essence of the first season of the adaptation, both in comedy, ecchi and entertainment.
Uzaki is the senpai
Although it was a short scene and it was all in the imagination Hannasees her as senpai there was something in the story that struck me as “annoying”. I don’t mean that it seemed bad to me or anything, but that it did seem to him about his relationship sakurai would remain practically the same and put me in the position sakurai I felt that uzaki it would be so much more castrate as normal.
Of course there was this scene Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double – Chapter 2 his moment fan service With uzaki with its two big guns against it sakurai. Which for me was a fun and “essential” touch to see how Hanna he blushed at his own conceit.
Although if you see Hanna Blush it is, my favorite scene was that flash back received from her the praise of sakurai in the pool. It was a moment when I felt a certain “warmth” that made me think that sakurai he said it unconsciously, not specifically thinking of the advice he was giving him Me in the past.
open and end
To be honest, both the opening and the end of Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double I liked them because I think they fit the series perfectly. And if I had to choose between the two, I couldn’t just do it. In the first chapter I had a feeling that my favorite would be the opening, but in the second episode I felt that the ending was better. And even though I’ve watched both chapters multiple times, oddly enough, I always end up with the same choice in both cases. I came to the conclusion that the content of the episode ultimately determined which of the two topics I liked better.
The opening is “Ichigo Ichie celebration (いちごいちえCelebration)” interpreted by Kano and the seiyu from uzaki, Naomi Ozora. while the end”Happy life (はっぴーらいふ)” interpreted by MKLNtic.
Technical details of the second season
It’s been quite a while since I saw those moments in the manga to be honest, so I barely remember it. Although I’m practically up to date with it. So I’m looking forward to “re-living” those moments by turning them into animations and reading them again soon to refresh my memory.
While I feel this might minimally detract from the experience when it comes to enjoying the adaptation, I also feel that the studio CLOSELY It kept the essence of the series shown in the first season. Like the aforementioned fan service of the costumes in the first chapter and the interaction between the characters of uzaki Y sakurai in a second Of course I don’t want to deny that there are moments that seem a little “changed” to me because I’ve felt it more than once uzaki was ‘annoyed‘ although I’m not sure.
Anyway, I thought it was a very good first impression Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double. Especially considering how long it’s been since I saw the first season. With one exception that only the voice of Yanagithe younger sister of Hanna, at the end of the second episode. A miniature It wouldn’t have been bad, I’ve been waiting a long time to see her alive with her ‘legendary hairstyle’.
I can’t wait to see more pranks from uzakithe sharp tongue of sakakithe perversion of Me and the misunderstandings Tsuki. In addition, of course, to the absurd controversy that it will now cause.
By the way, I found the beginning of the first chapter strange, with one scene off sakurai Y Hanna leaving while mentioning the fact that it will be their first Christmas together. Everything so that afterwards opening There is a scene where the first few words concern the end of summer. I don’t remember if that happens in the manga or if it’s an “extra” from the animated adaptation.
