Ive been so feverishly wishing to read the new famiresu chapter like i keep refreshing bato since last night (even if i know that tl takes time) but ive been doing that sm that i literally dreamed about the tl dropping like i opened bato and there it was. The big 17. But then when i woke up for real at like 5 in the morning i was like "no i cant read it now ill wait until i wake up properly" and then when i did. It wasnt there anymore. Sobs.

My one wish for Satomi's rendition of Kurenai for the anime specifically is that he copies the goofy shit that Kyouji was doing during the instrumental breaks. Especially the headbanging.

Its been a while since I've seen it, so you might be right actually!

But from what i can recall the anime was the only one so far that portrayed it this outwardly "scary" (or so to speak)

V interesting how they made the protection scene scary and a show of his "true yakuza nature" instead of a heroic deed like how the manga and movie depicted it.

Kurenai sang by Horie Shun will be real. Next episode.

we're getting so much anime original stuff its crazy.

the addition of the dream sequences?? the scenes that depict stuff that happened off-screen originally? and even stuff that references the manga/official art? i cant believe how well we're being fed by this adaptation.

Every time Naoto is referred to as anything other than a man we give Kanji another shot of estrogen.

w ep 3 i really feel like its safe to say that haikara has that original boueibu spark back.

heck, maybe not that "original" spark, even, but more like how s2 was? anyways, its good.

As of episode 1, we're 38 pages into the story. Page 65 is where part 1 ends, and part 2 is on page 68 till 132 (so 64 pages, about the same length)

So, if you did the math, you might've noticed that we could easily finish the main story by the end of episode 4. Even if they do add more anime original scenes! The extra (about how kyouji got involved with yakuza and his name origins) is on pages 135 through 156, so it's only 21 pages long. So even if the main story takes a little longer than 4 eps, there's still a definite possibility of that being animated as well.

And maybe... just maybe... we'll get a Famiresu tease? We'll see.

I'm watching the ep again w the manga in my hands so i can compare, and it's crazy how many little things they've added...

it's to be expected that certain shots are changed or added to make it flow better in animated form, but I've noticed that they've added (and changed) quite a lot of not-really-necessary things (which is really making their love of the source material apparent!);

-kyouji's dramatic walk up to the door after the choir performance (this is not based on any of the panels, he was just already standing there) -the teacher mentioning how they got 2nd in the competition after the performance and satomi quietly blaming himself for it (there was no after talk, it just went straight to satomi in the dressing room and opening the door) -instead of kyouji just sitting there, they added a visual during his explanation of the karaoke contest -kyouji acting out the poking of the tattooing needles with his finger (he also didnt mention it until later, originally) -just like with the karaoke contest explanation, they added a visual during kouji's explanation of how the boss does his tattoos (+ the hello kitty hand tattoo tease, lol) -way more buildup during the 42 second intro (kyouji running his hands through his hair, tapping his feet, unbuttoning his jacket, etc. originally he only fixed his tie and that was it) -the eye / blood droplet scene. -there's a disco ball in the room now?? -so much flair was added to kyouji's performance. mentioning every shot would take too long, but special shoutout to the headbanging followed by the abrupt cutoff, it really elevated the comedy in that scene. -kyouji heaving from his performance whilst satomi eats his last bit of rice. lmao. -satomi's after-the-fact narration was removed (they kept all the other narration he does in, just not this little bit) -they emphasize the silver medal thing again, originally they never specified which place they won -they switched up the order in which wada and satomi tell each other what they're doing (which makes the convo flow less well... hrm) -you actually get to see (and hear) kyouji sing a bit of tiger and dragon -satomi putting his hand on his throat after kyouji asks him to sing -they actually show the choir song name (ガラスの小箱 / small glass box) -they show a picture of the whole choir together -when the teacher mentions getting a sub for satomi's solo he thinks back on their performance at the beginning (and how he feels like he messed up) -the entire last part is anime original, save for that one long still shot of kyouji holding the umbrella over satomi, which is obviously a nod to the front cover of the manga. -satomi's narration at the end is also based on what he said right before the anime original scene starts, but its been slightly altered.

He really nailed that gross sounding falsetto.
