I love the series of the white album watch it all but i find it confusing on the last episode of the 2nd season of the white album because they didnt show the main character going in in yuki's apartment. He was talking to haruki while the fuji stares at the apartment that yuki used to live that time skipped to that day fuji san helping mana chan parents gahtring some stuff because they are moving to a new house. And when i check the manga version of it has a different ending after the festival . fuji san move to a new apartment"correct me if im wrong" while his friend helping him to move his stuff
while chatting, saw a girl infront of his door ringing the bell and saying I'm here to help Touya-kun. and i knew that was yuki.overall i loved this anime so much this my most favorite drama/roma…

This is another very difficult series to review. On one hand, you have a setting that is hardly ever used in anime - the mid '80s, which means most of the convenience of today's life is missing. In one of the episodes this season, they even go out of their way to show how "portable phones" looked like back then! The art style really fits that period, and so do the clothing and cars and everything shown, and the way idols are depicted is nostalgic-they were just great singers with a bit more charisma. You also have something equally as rarely depicted, the challenges of dating someone famous!
On the other hand, you have a convoluted story at times, and what i consider to be, so far, the worst MC in any anime i watched.
I previously mentioned charisma, and i feel like this guy is missing an…

The key issue this show has is a problem of perspective. In my review of the first season, I stated that what let it down was its protagonist, referring to Touya as an instance of a Visual Novel protagonist where the player made all the stupidest choices. After this second season, this has cemented itself. In fact, Touya's ability to make decisions (and, honestly, just his sense of self-control) spirals even further down, and it makes it difficult to engage with the story at times; our protagonist becomes increasingly difficult to sympathise with, and as such any happy ending feels unearned.
The thing that makes this more difficult is also the thing that keeps the show afloat despite him; basically any other character would have been a better protagonist. Because, to be honest, I really…

Well this was really hard to watch my advice is DON'T DARE TO WATCH IT YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Tries to get more drama but the character is such human trash yet in the end there are no repercusions to his actions like someone trying to kill him,people ganging up to beat him or commiting suicide,is like he is forgiven of everything for crying and saying i loved everyone yet is a character that never loved anyone or showed anyone just wanted to have sex with any girl.
The characters are all horrible the only exceptions would be Nanase (touya friend),Yuki and Rina and those would be since the others well...

Season 2 review.
Story 7:
It's a continuation of white album. Which is an anime about a man who's girlfriend is part of the idol business. He is confused and is trying to fill a void in his life. While making dumb decisions while involving people he loves or respects. As the story goes on.
We get to see more of Touya fall right back into his dumb decisions except seem more unjustified then season 1. As well as Yuki trying to push through and try to rise in the idol business. For a friends promise. As well as a new surprise following the Ogita business. Over all the narrative is still the same as the last season except easier to follow with more surprises, and more characters being fleshed out.
I don't want to spoil to much about it.

This is one of the most overrated anime I've ever seen. I picked it up because I'd heard good things about it. Like most anime, I tried to go in completely blind, so as to avoid any spoilers and get the full "First Timer" experience. I had no idea that this was a show based off of a dating sim, or I probably would have picked up on that it was going to be utterly horrible from the beginning.
But I didn't, and by the time I realized what kind of story this was going to be, I was a good seven episodes in. So I figured, may as well finish the story, right? That was such a torturous idea. Twenty-six episodes of horrible characters with no redeemable qualities, all constantly falling over one another to get banged by Sir-Cheats-a-Lot. By the end of the show I was genuinely impressed that he ha…

To be honest, I only watched this because of how good is WA2. The story itself was a good idea that may be able to make up a good romance story but the actions of the characters were so bad that at some point I just gave up trying to understand what they were trying to do. However, the OSTs and music were one of the best i heard, especially the songs that the idols perform. Overall, I feel like its not an anime I would recommend but it certainly leaves you thinking when you finish the series
Conclusion:
Story-6
Art-7
Sound-9
Character-2
Enjoyment-4
Overall-6

[THIS REVIEW WILL FOCUS PURELY ON THE SECOND SEASON. GENERAL CRITIQUES OF THE OVERALL PLOT CAN BE FOUND IN MY REVIEW FOR THE FIRST SEASON]
I'm glad that White Album 2nd Season came out because I believed that the first season could have delivered more than it did. The most important thing about White Album: 2nd Season is that it brought much-needed context (the whole Menou Matsuyama, Yuki Morikawa and Touya Fujii connection) that brought clarification to several plot holes. It even managed to tie in Fujii's father, making the latter a more important character than was originally established. Although Eiji Ogata's painting fiasco brought about some questions, I did feel as if it was a nice reflective point that brought a different level in the anime. All of these things, aside from several…

This is a review for both the first and second season. I admit that the second season did have a more redeeming feel and actual progression in the story. But the overall feeling I get from this anime is that it tried so hard to be everything and failed to be even something.
I get this is based on a Eroge PC Harem Game. But I think that when an anime tries to hard to be exactly like it's adaptation it loses the feel of being an anime.
This anime had so much potential. It had an artistic vibe, great soundtrack, somewhat interesting plot. But what it lacked the most was direction. Sure people would have different preferences when it comes to who will be the chosen girl. But that's where it's aspect of trying to be like it's adaptation comes in. It didn't feel like an anime because it tried…

Sometimes, men are at the mercy of goddesses. Just as the lost are at the mercy of their memories.
The harem genre is a tricky topic to discuss. The concept of numerous women flocking over a single man labels it as men’s wish fulfillment. And when you get down to it, it’s true. Harem animes are fun to watch because of the selection of girls tailor-fit for every man and the possibilities with each one (if the show’s plot direction and runtime allows it). But with all the testosterone-induced enjoyment, most harem shows lack substance, use too many cliches that sell, and allow little room for developed relationships with other characters. As fidelity and modern cultural practices dictate, the guy can only choose one.
But what if the guy already made a choice, yet felt a need to continue h…

STORY
While the first season was a failure in my opinion, this season was a huge improvement. With the change of directors, White Album took a different direction with were it went. First of all, they resolved all of the unimportant subplots from the first season quickly (as quick as the show can be..). Then, they replaced it with a few more subplots, which was tied more to the main conflict. Even then, they didn't side track as much as the first season. This was a great choice on part of the production team. The story for this season, was more spread out. It wasn't just about Touya, it gave some other characters screen time as well. As a result, I actually felt invested in the drama involving the other characters. Though, all of this is pulled down by really slow pacing. I seriously thoug…

In this season, it ties up all the loose ends and clears up everything about the whole show. It has taken the show to the next level and got even deeper.
It continues where season 1 left off. (I hope that people who watched this didn't give up because it hides the back story.) I feel that this anime concluded well and the WTF events are evenly dispersed.
To summarize, watch the first season and have the will to continue on. This is a great show and I recommend it.

Previous Season: 9 Out of 10
"You live and die by being an adaption of a Harem PC Game"
So no need to tell you any of the story as it continues from Season 1, All i will try to explain is how this season, Missed the mark in my mind.
I got a sense of "Filler" for parts of some episodes, like they had to show even MORE of the work part, which seems to dominate this season, Plus being a Harem, they tried to even out the time you see all the characters and to be honest gave enough time to love the whole cast of the show.
Funny over the 2 seasons, my view on our main character Touya got worse, But this game me a BETTER opinion or view of all the other girls in his "Harem" love circle.
This season did at times felt a little prolonged, I like series that go to a 26 Ep season, It gives you en…
