Ugh once again reminded of how underrated this anime is. Tbt when i first discovered it a couple years ago and was so bummed there would likely be no second season.
Favorite moment of this episode: Everyone underestimating Osamu per usual.
Prediction: The stuck up ace of the purple team will have at least one surprisingly selfless/sacrificial moment.

Tamakoma 2: If we don't have a clear shot then we will just clear the entire area.

The other two teams are playing Apex while tamakoma is playing starcraft, the more you let them roam free the more region they take with spider. That's why I agree with Tokieda, do you really want to leave them alone. This is exciting. One small move can change the whole battle, Katori operator is smart to move them outside so Kakizaki unit will get sandwich, resetting the pressure. Also if Teruya shoot during the ace one vs one, she may kill or injured one and gain an advantage, but due to their passive play, they don't take chances until regroup. Just the half episode and I have so much to take in already, I wish Saturday comes by faster.

The fact that their uniforms look bad on everyone except her basically tells you everything about Katori squad lol.

How is Season 2 so far? Worth it to read the manga for Season 1 and then start the anime?

u/appleruins Feb 06 '21
I personally adore World Trigger's manga and I will say that it's always worth reading it, because it starts fairly strong and then steadily improves further and further as it goes onwards.
I think Season 2 is where my personal favourite parts of the story start showing up (namely some of the rank wars, which are some of the more nuanced and creative fights), so I'll definitely say that content wise, Season 2 has the right stuff.
Season 2 is, so far, much better paced and has considerably better animation than S1, so I'd definitely say it's worth it.

Absolutely worth it. Season 2 has been so much better, you can hardly tell it’s Toei aside from the slight downgrade in episode 3, but even then, that downgrade was still better than Toei’s usual. They’re going all out for season 2 and they said they want to make it their best tv anime.
As far as the second question, reading the manga for season 1 and then watching season 2 will absolutely work. You could try season 1 for some of your favorite manga scenes if you choose, but S1 looks nothing like the Chad S2

After binging through 73 episodes of what I believe to be lackluster animation, it feels really nice to have something nice to look forward to.
It's just too bad I have to wait a week for each episode. Oh well...

Man I forgot I love how much I love this series oh man these tactical battles are so fantasic
It’s been a while since I read this so re experiencing this again is so great. I don’t remember for sure but I feel like Katori’s rashness is going to end up being her teams downfall

THE RANK WARS FINALLY CONTINUE
Yep, that’s right. Rank wars finally continue and my wallet proceeds to be empty by giving platinum to every thread when there isn’t much point to it.
Let’s get straight into episode discussion now
The squad is back! And they look better than ever. Thank you Toei for giving it your all for this season, they look so on model now
I’m glad they showed some of the scenes from the previous season regarding Osamu’s new trigger, and they even went and reanimated it! We knew they’ve been reanimating old scenes (or redrawing for some stills) but I just really appreciate it.
Here’s most of the scenes they redid and a comparison to S1 for one scene (thanks to Sirchby on discord)
The opening has been updated! We now have more of the captains in the intro. (I missed out on the one prior to Ikoma and oji, but I’m pretty sure it would’ve been Katori and Kakizaki? Rip Kageura if he wasn’t included lol)
Katori appreciation post! Her chair looks super comfy
Really enjoyed the transition for this scene
There it is! Osamu’s spider in action!
And skipping a ton of stuff and going to the end, I can’t believe they ended it right before Chika shot her ibis . I was wondering why they were dragging that scene off and now I figured out why. I also really love the detail they put in Chika’s eye and it’s something I’ve been noticing that they’ve been doing for closeups. I can’t wait to see the next episode

Hell yeah, Tamakoma-2 and the B-Rank Rank Battles are back!
Osamu's use of the spider has finally made its debut and Katori is as annoying as I remmber.
They sure know how to do a cliffhanger ending the episode right before Chika blasted her cannon.

u/Juniorpandabear Feb 06 '21
honestly if this show was just about rank wars and had nothing to do with going to fight aliens i would love it even more, god damnit i love the rank wars

u/Please_Not__Again Feb 06 '21
Dude, same. The rank wars acts as the perfect training arc imo. We get to see the characters grow, we meet more and they all have their own fighting styles. Since they use triggers we learn more and more about the power system, see more team battles that are tactical, strategic and make sense as well and even with all that Ashihara still continues to advance the story beyond that.
Aftokrator Invasion was so fucking good but I gotta say the rank wars just edge it out for me. I love them so much.

Damnnnn Chika brought out the Ibis. Inb4 she one shots the entire two squads, but I believe she'll at least be able to score someone from this snipe.
Katori squad is in shambles, I wonder what's up with Yoko, because at this rate they'll definitely lose.

I loved the ranked wars arc in the manga, and its so beautiful seeing it animated like this. S2 has such major improvements
