Go Go Loser Ranger Reject Anonymous 04/20/2025 (Sun) 10:13:50 Id: 5fd8bb No. 31368
who will win?
>>31368 I hope Suzukiri will find her happy ending.
(1.02 MB 1440x1920 1715751919845475.png)

>>31368 Hisui feels like the most likely outcome. My heart long for something else, though.
>>31912 I feel like Usukubo must lose because she got the "heads over heels" role. Too bad for the girl, she should have stayed complicated to have a chance. So that leaves 3 possiblities: Suzukiri wins for being first girl, Hisui wins for being fan favorite, or none wins.

>>31368 I want Usukubo to be with D but I feel like Hisui is gonna be the one. >>31930 >Usukubo must lose because she got the "heads over heels" role. Fuck Negi.
>>31368 HISUI BROS WE ARE SO ASSURED
>>32197 The best couple is Hibiki and XX
subs out
>>32627 Animation was pretty cheap as expected, but not really distracting. I just hope they spare more effort to the fights. The pacing was pretty fast. Around 4 chapters' worth with a couple of scenes cut (I hope they just pushed the bowling scene into a later episode), so if it keeps up like this the whole arc might be finished by episode 5... after which they'll probably try to speed through the entire IRA arc in 7 episodes. Brace for the worst.
>>32197 lol Red
>>32855 breakneck pace was to be expected it's a shame but i guess animeonlies will be the sacrifice as always because they will not understand or properly feel the weight of the scenes i just hope they do justice to some of the good scenes the manga had
>>31368 Homo will win.

Forgot this was airing. First s2 episode was great again. The series is always good when Red is doing his shit again.
>>33101 I will say, at least I'm glad the D fucking up and restarting the day multiple times was on point. To be honest, I kinda have to partially blame Negi for the pacing issues that make adapting the work into cours a pain, and even bringing down the manga itself. Let's be real, Negi loves to make these colossal fight arcs that CONSTANTLY screech to a halt to throw us into multiple flashbacks. >One or two chapters of shit happening in the present >One or two chapters of literally who flashback in an attempt to make us give a damn >Back to present shit >Repeat It harms both the current events and the flashbacks, because the former slow down to a crawl while the latter become an annoyance as they're interrupting the former. This is the kind of stuff that you have setup mini arcs for, sometimes multiple ones in a row to keep things focused, and let the present events flow properly with mid-action flashbacks to a minimum. It's almost Negi was scared of slowing the pacing so he crams all the backstory possible right then and there.
>>33339 I think even those flashbacks are mostly well-done, I liked most of them except for one (the Yellow Battalion girl who suicided) The thing is, Ranger Reject is very dialogue and monologue heavy which would mean it takes more screentime when adapted compared to other similarly length manga. It's just the flaw of the media, you either end up with flawed adaptation or you'll have to make more episodes.
>>31368 Kanon my wife
>>33101 grim, since anime onlies who would stick to waiting for season 2 are pretty unlikely to try out the manga anyway
>S2 is better than S1 >but OP sucks and the ED is ok at best Can't win them all.
>>35732 I already don't like the rushing, I'm not so sure about being better than S1 at all.

>>36931 Why are we adding trauma for Hisui again, Negi?
>>33101 Would it be better if the manga is adapted as vn?
>>37246 it would be a good vn but it wouldn't do what the anime is meant to do, which is to increase exposure for the series. VN is a niche and different market.
Most of the time when an anime adaptation butchers source material, it has at least an approval from the author. Do you think Negi agreed to this adaptation that rushes quite a few things because he didn't think RR would get another chance any time soon?
>>37347 Possibly. It has never had good sales so getting adapted is mostly thanks to Negi's credentials.
>>32076 >wah literally too good for this world
Some weird rearrangements of events so far
>>37473 I guess I always like the less popular series more if it's the same mangaka. Dropped the sibling thing instantly but Ranger Reject is great IMO. Same with Matsui I like Elusive Samurai but dropped AssClass instantly which is way more popular as far as I know.
>>37909 I love RR too, but the sales is evident that it has very niche appeal.

>>39339 it's too bad that these are the only good pieces of rr porn out there
>>39339 Why is Hisui having sex with Hibiki
>>39381 At this point we can pretend that D and Hibiki are twin brothers.
>>39381 >>39417 Hibiki has a full burn scar face, D doesn't.
>>39376 TFW D's 2 wives are both Ishikawa's used goods
>>39339 HOLY SEX
Killing every executive in this arc doesn't seem likely, even if they could be brought back again later. Something has to go wrong with the plan, and they can't rescue a hostage that way.
>>39705 They just need to kill Chidori. but honestly who tf cares if Yellow and Kiisu died.
>>37909 I only watched AssClass but I've been reading elusive and Neuro
D should give Usukubo the D
>>33483 just wished that the episodes were longer than 20 minutes ngl
>>42898 If they were on the grindset, they could have skippedobearP and ED on most episodes and do away with the recaps. Even then I felt like it needed 2 more episodes to be a 1:1 to manga.
I like this OP actually
When will they let Aizome die?

>>44439 Chidori is Negi's self insert
>>44459 You'd think it'd be Yellow.
>>44621 Negi made 2 clones of himself, one to write harem romcom because it's "the right thing" to write to get sales and one clone to write what he really wants.

>>31368 >>32197 >>32076 >>31930 I'm on chapter 144 and I really don't get the whole Hisui thing. I haven't seen any evidence that'd suggest she might like him like that.
>>47643 Chapter 114 made her a contender, but I agree she's nowhere near obviously implied for romance like some people are making her out to be.
>>47116 Where's the enthusiasm?
>>47710 Her smile and optimism gone
>>45646 Negi will subvert expectation again and make Noa the winner.
>>44439 nah D will turn into DM like like Usukubo revert back to Yulimeridia
Is this whole arc just Chidori overreacting to the death of his fling Sanae?
>>31368 >only one monster girl ONE. JOB.
>>47895 It's a reaction that could have happened earlier. So many people have died because one person was so bad at what he wanted to do.
>>47643 Hisui is very popular and notably the second most common POV. She's also the only one that really plays off D's autism well, instead of just blindly fangirling over him or whatever the fuck his dynamic with Suzukiri is now.

>>48032 would this look very different if you count executive deaths in?
>>48045 probably in a few chapters given how the current arc is going in the story so far Magatia (dream school arc): Chidori Magatia (current arc): Yakekobab Todomask (IRA arc): Chidori Hwalipon (IRA arc): Shippo neither Ukyo or Daidai was fully transformed when they were killed so that's it.

>>49151 Why did Yumeko dye her hair blonde? Is she in rebellious phase?
>>48032 fucking Sousei kill stole from Suzukiri.
>>48032 If not for peltrola stealing his kill, D would've been tied with Sousei
>>51772 D already counted his shared kills (Shougo with Peltrola and Yakushi with other Greens)
>>48032 Ranger Reject has some issue with this low fatality rate. For example, there's no way a bunch of cadets most of whom already exhausted from Day 3 of exam only suffered 1 casualty from an Executive. In the IRA arc, a lot of nameless rangers died and yet not one who was pre established, aside from Akane.
>>48020 >D already has too many bitches for him He has 1 silly fangirl, 1 direct superior that doesn't hate him, and 1 person he talked to a few times who's story seems over.
So a chinese fan recently posted a theory that Hisui is actually the host for the Ram executive (Emematai), Windy and Chidori (because people think he might be an exec) are misdirects. 1. Angelโ€™s case shows hosts can be unaware they're hosting an executive. 2. Hisui's entire family died yet she somehow survived, she also has super human like abilities at 10 years old. This can be explained by Emematai's abilities "regeneration" and "amplification". 3. Why was Hisui excluded from Magatia? โ€“ If sheโ€™s so obsessed with killing Executives, why wasnโ€™t she part of the operation? Was she left out of the illusion, or was she purposely removed? (I'm not sure what he's talking about here, can anyone remind me?) 4. Negi's favorite, irony โ€“ The story often foreshadows twists (e.g., "Turn Hisui into a monster?" "Haha, she already is one!"). Another addition to the theory is that sheep(rams) are ruminant which means that they regurgitate their food to rechew it, like how Hisui can regurgitate anything.
>>52224 Hisui is way past "superior who doesn't hate him" now. Even D with his thick autism knows that. They have a deep bond and I'm just waiting for the big moment where it's put to the test or properly aired out.
>>52413 in that case, Windy has to have another role which I can't think of one. this also implies that the yellow shirt who gave chop to Shigeoka was not Emematai or his vessel, so who would that be?
>>52454 If copies can be made of dead ones, why can't there be more than one alive at a time?
>>52475 Who knows if it's possible, it just hasn't been shown as a thing so far in the story.
>>52413 RR has a Chinese fanbase?
>>52224 Noa will mog them all to get the D

>>56357 Who's the smelliest?
Kujaku sexo
>>56416 Suzukiri seems like her unused hag hole smells like the wharf.
>>56416 Hisui cuz she still be wearing school clothes
>>59511 Damn she hasn't washed it since she dropped out? That's hideous.
>>38333 she reallyy do be yappin
Episode 3 soon
>>60871 Already watched two other 10/10 episodes today, if this one should be good too it'll be my personal best anime day in months.
>>61098 I'm still a bit unsettled about their cutting and rearranging some events, but the production quality is fine.
>>61371 Animeonly here and I'm still enjoying s2 so far. What did they cut out?
>>61397 So far there was a scene where the JFCs played bowling while discussing which squadron the cadets that passed the exam should go to. Maybe we'll see that scene later. Aside from that, you wouldn't see Hwalipon or the kaiju beasts until after this school arc.
>>61419 Maybe they cut it to help with the pacing. The only thing sudden for me was D getting chosen for the green team. I was expecting more follow up on the aftermaths of the exam and the team choices.
>>61819 More cuts incoming, I suspect they will skip the entire Green Keeper arc because there's no way they woule be teasing the kaiju now otherwise.
(151.11 KB 220x122 buh.gif)

>>61819 Too many cuts.. it's over
>>61819 How hard would be it to adapt 5 fucking pages, jeez
>>61869 >adapt Do you mean combine or collage?
>>61870 no I mean how hard would it be for the studio to adapt this scene that is only 5 pages long, yet they skipped it
>>61871 To be honest. It seems like a 30- 45 second scene and they're not just standing around but bowling while talking. It's easy to animate people talking while they're standing but look at the poses they're making while talking in those 5 pages. Animators probably didn't want to bother with this scene and decided to ignore it. Maybe they didn't want to give those voice actors more lines than necessary since they're not main characters. Could be lots of reasons.
Ep 4 was horrible with that breakneck pacing.
>>61875 maybe not enough money?
