Rinne no Lagrange (season 2) discussion thread

[nakimushi]

Ha! Way to go Asteria. Madoka was too dense to be affected by the artificial stress induction that almost permanently damaged Lan's psyche, so the obvious solution was for Asteria to fluster Madoka by talking suggestively to her.

The faces of the three girls during that were absolutely great.

So who is the real Yurikano, the ghost who has talked with Madoka or the girl with Dizelmine?

Lan continues to be so cute. I loved her delayed reaction to seeing both variations of the Rubin Vase image.

[TheGreenMan]

Oh...Asteria...you dirty girl you. "Is it so much fun with just three girls?"
Rapid fire dirty talking!
Wow...she just admitted she kissed Muginami and Lan...wait when did she kiss Muginami?
Holy crap! Demon Yurikano is now trying to kill Madoka?
...or she is still alive and serving Drizelmine? Wha???

[FUNiOP]

Hmm... I really don't see this second season ever doing anything for me, even compared to the first season that I barely liked enough to finish, but I'm not sure if I want to drop it when the summer's not all that packed and I have more free time than usual. I guess Sundays are pretty packed, though, and I work Sunday and Monday, so it might not hurt to lighten the load by taking away the weakest link for me.

Summer haunted house was a total bust LOL
They were still enjoying their jobs at the beach.
Summer time really is the best in anime ^^
Vox as something else than a weapon proposal was an interesting idea.
Madoka really gets fired up easily.
Their little experiment was a bust... until Asteria put some embarrassing pressure on her.
It was pretty LOL watching her go all red in the face ^^
The weirdness after it was an interesting surprise.

[Fencedude]

Madoka, you are destined to be the mother of Lan's child, so don't be so embarrassed.

Also, WTF Yurikano.

[HitokiriShadow]

Oh god, this show.

I bet Asteria was just waiting for a chance to do that. The reactions it got out of all three girls were pretty epic. It's close race between Mugi and Lan for who gave the most gloriously cute embarrassed reaction, but I think Lan's baked brain look takes the cake. Asteria had some pretty great mischievous (bordering on villainous) faces herself.

And Asteria. Come on. Of course its that much fun with "just" three girls. I'm not sure why you're acting like a guy is necessary for virginicide though. Mugi or Lan will get around to it eventually.

And then suddenly, it looks like everything's about to go to hell. And then after Madoka seems to narrowly avoid death and/or the apocalypse, the show gives us.... I guess it falls a bit short of "What The Fuck" status, but its one of those Extra Special "Interesting" Surprises at the very end with, well, "Yurikano". Someone that looks like her and goes by that name, at any rate. I have several ideas for what could be going on but its impossible to guess which one's more likely than another at this point.

Also, I really liked the part with The three girls looking at the picture, particularly Lan spending several seconds concentrating and then a very cute "aha!" moment.

Episode 3:

- Madoka is the queen of... whatever that is.
- Maid Muginami! And more dojikko Lan.
- Heh, a haunted house can't compete against Madoka. Sexy sexy Madoka.

- Yeah good job Madoka, bringing up their brothers and all. >_>
- "If your brothers talk it out like you did..." I was really expecting someone to imagine V-man and D-man making out.

- Haha wtf Asteria. I think she pulled a Yamano Remon on Tadokoro.
- Why doesn't she have one of the girls? ;_;
- And of course "we're going to do dangerous and painful experiments on you" gets the same reaction from Madoka as "Let's have a picnic."
- Why do the sensors look like bunny ears and a tail?
- Hahahah, oh wow, Asteria. She unambiguously suggests Madoka is having sex with Lan and Muginami. Awesome.
- Wooooooooooow. XD I think Muginami and Lan are "runied for marriage" purely from hearing Asteria talk naughty.
- HAHAHAHA! "Lan and Muginami are the only ones I've ever even kissed!" They were you first! ...Actually. Hey. Wait. Madoka kissed Lan during the make-up scene. When did she kiss Muginami? Did I forget an accidental kiss from season one, or did she just reveal something awesome? o_O
- ...Uh, wow. Madoka's perversions are so powerful they create, um, whatever that is.
- And then shit happens!

Uh, Muginami-version ED is weird.

[ookamigirl]

Villagiulio and Lan's brother in the same room, talking.
That was quite of an achievement for Asteria ^^
Lan's brother is way to serious, while Villagiulio is relaxed.
Their talks were pretty interesting too.
Yurikano makes an appearance as lost Villagiulio's little sister.
Being rejected by his own sister didn't sit well with Villagiulio.
Well, his approach wasn't very good either.
So she was the one that appeared in Madoka's cockpit last time, at least it looked like her.
Some really interesting things are happening.
Lan smuggling Madoka & Muginami on the ship as her "normal" friends was just LOL
Getting recognized that easily was even more funny!!

[nakimushi]

Asteria's unconventional methods continue to be very amusing.

Silly Moid, obviously the power of the plot device will always overcome any number of extra chaperones you assign to Yurikano.

In just about any other show, trying to sneak on the the LeGarite mothership would have been the completely wrong thing to do, but in this show it will probably end up being the exactly right thing to do.

Although after saying that she would not allow it, Asteria did not seem to actually try and stop the three girls from leaving with Dizelmine.

[FUNiOP]

Alright, this isn't that bad. I still haven't been able to form a very solid opinion on this season yet, like I have for every other summer show. Anyway, I found myself interested enough this episode, so I can't complain too much. The ED was very different, although not very exciting. Next time: fanservice.
