i really hope they do end up animating everything! and maybe they'll include the left out scenes later on. i think we still have many chapters left to go for the manga, and to leave it on where it is in regard to the animation makes it feel incomplete in a way. there's going to be so much left to convey in the animation and perhaps we'll just get a longer season or movie. i don't know what the latest chapter in the original manga currently is, but i know hiiragi & shizu's story is far from over. plus, there's not only stories to be told about each individual couple, but about them all together (because some are playing support and they have their struggles to go thru, of course). there's also ugetsu, whose story i really hope continues. you make good points, though, and i can totally understand why you're left with that impression. fingers crossed for everything to be animated!
i don’t think there will be an anime continuation. here’s why.
the first season of the anime ended at a solid spot: mafuyu has let go of his guilt and finds new love and a new passion. the movie also ends right where the second arc in the manga ends, with haruki and akihiko’s happy ending.
mafuyu and uenoyama’s relationship was barely shown during the movie, which is understandable because they want the movie to focus on one story only. however, many important details from the manga were missed, such as the clock scene, or scene where they had a fight in school. these are important because they can’t be put anywhere else in the storyline, and i’ll explain why. the movie itself has the theme of “moving on”, as depicted through the song sung. this showcases the parallels between haruki, akihiko, and ugetsu’s story to mafuyu, uenoyama, and yuki’s story. those scenes showcase that although mafuyu has let go of his guilt, he can never let go of yuki’s presence despite being with uenoyama. these scenes fit in the haruki akihiko arc because it parallels akihiko and ugetsu and how they cant let go of each other.
now to the point: the second season would be the third arc, which shows how mafuyu, uenoyama, hiiragi, and shizu are still constantly reminded of yuki’s presence, as well as mafuyu and uenoyama’s relationship when it starts to parallel that of mafuyu and yuki’s, which completely opposes the theme of “moving on”. so while haruki and akihiko were able to have a happy ending, mafuyu and uenoyama’s story has not ended. in my opinion, this will be extremely hard to convey when the audience watching the movie already believes mafuyu has moved on. i have a feeling they would rather leave it as a happy ending like that than complicate the story even further.
this was all over the place but really my point is that it will be hard to properly convey the third arc when they skipped so many scenes that were crucial and needed to be in the second arc to make sense, so they’ll probably just leave it as a happy ending and not have season 2. anyways if you read to here good for you, tell me your thoughts!!
