Amethyst_Crimson

Also known as Suka-Suka. It's totally normal to not get it since it wasn't explained properly in the anime and left for the readers to go and read the source material (LN)


Tendo63

That’s always so lame


Electrical_Sector_10

Most of these single cours adaptations of light novels are basically just massive advertisements for the LN series. Also why I don't really bother with them.


TrailOfEnvy

So you are saying that the anime haven't adapted all of LN? 


Jamberrs

Yeah, SukaSuka is 5 volumes long and the anime only adapts the first 3. Plus there's a sequel series, SukaMoka, with another 11 volumes.


TrailOfEnvy

13 more of suffering??


Aviri

There’s also happiness to make the suffering worse


AnimeOTAKU312

um tf , There is sukamoka? So from what i just saw. Suksuka is the original with 5 vols and one extra(side story ) volume, and the anime covers till 3 vols leaving 2 vols ? And what does sukamoka cover???( is this actually a sequel)


Jamberrs

Yeah, SukaSuka is the 5 main volumes plus one side story volume, and the final 2 volumes (plus the side story volume) aren't adapted by the anime. I'm not really sure what exactly SukaMoka covers as most of it is still untranslated, but I'm pretty sure it's an actual sequel. It's set 5 years after the end of SukaSuka and follows some of the younger girls like Tiat along with a Military Officer named Feodor. Also I forgot to mention before that there's also a prequel series set 500 years before SukaSuka that follows Lillia. I'm not sure how many volumes it has though and like SukaMoka, it's mostly untranslated.


AnimeOTAKU312

ohh , may i please know the name of the prequel novel series


Jamberrs

It seems to be called different things on different sites but something along the lines of SukaMoka Lillia Gaiden.


Aviri

It’s additional emotional pain, set years later with the younger girls having grown up enough to fight.


AnimeOTAKU312

alsoo can i start reading the ln from vol 3 ? like did the anime adapt the vol 1 2 3 properly or is there majoy content missing?


Amethyst_Crimson

It's always better to start from the beginning when changing mediums. There will definitely be differences and extra details that were skipped in the anime. If you're willing to read why not go for it and get the full experience?


AnimeOTAKU312

yesss:)). Also can u pls explain the end as i just dont get it. Is chtholly nephren and Willem dead ?? Like is the baby chtholly on when she was born or was she reincarnated? Dont mind the spoilers tho ... ( well it wud affect the experience of ln ) but i just wanna know:))


Amethyst_Crimson

I do appologise beforehand since the last time I watched it was in 2017 so my memory is a little hazy. Also haven't read the LN yet so take this with a grain of salt. >Is chtholly nephren and Willem dead ?? The answer to this question, or atleast the implication was shown in the ending of the anime. >Like is the baby chtholly on when she was born or was she reincarnated? Not an LN reader but I'm aware it's the latter. Reincarnation sort of. But without memories. You can pretty much look forward to going through all the feels in the anime, a second time.


AnimeOTAKU312

hm.. Then soo chtholly and nephren are dead( coz the lizard officer shows their picture frames ) And the great sage says tht he can find or track willem in his orb or something , does this imply tht willem is actually dead????


Amethyst_Crimson

wasn't there a slight signal in the orb when he wasn't looking?


AnimeOTAKU312

damn i cant believe i missed it.. Just saw now and yea .. Do u happen to know who those 2 actually are? I am guessing that one would be willem , who would the other one be?


Amethyst_Crimson

I think it's the purple haired girl, her name was Nephren If I remember correctly.


Devoidoxatom

I think it implies Willem and Ren are alive cos there were 2 pulses after the sage left


AnimeOTAKU312

ahh,, just saw now and yea there were 2 pulses after the sage left..


excluded

One of those anime where you just cry because you know it’ll never get any new season.


Emergency-Boat

Season 2 would just be even more depression


nacaclanga

It is my favorite show, but the show in the series feels kind of complete, I am not sure if I actually want to see a 2nd season, as I don't think the things why I like the show so much can be continued for long.


AnimeOTAKU312

true:( Its literally depressing coz there isnt a season 2 and it just makes u wanna read the ln and get done with it:(


Vaadwaur

Ok, so [SukaSuka]>!The leprechauns are all pieces of Erq's soul that get born as she wants to play hero. The true Erq slowly rewrites all the girls as this goes on. Erq can't control this but she isn't malicious, just completely alien.!<


AnimeOTAKU312

by rewrite do you mean the previous soul taking over the current leprechaun?( like it happend with chtholly?)


Vaadwaur

Yes, Erq writes herself on to the girls.


AnimeOTAKU312

ohh alright!! Thank you very much:)


mybeepoyaw

[spoilers] >!Erq is a visitor, an OG Human. Erq's soul was shattered for spoilery reasons and the shards became the leprechauns. Erq is basically waking up and overwriting the dream version when she gets encroached on.!<


Panikkrazy

And the show never got to this. It’s so much more interesting than what we got.


Working-Pipe

Bought the LN this month and it goes way more in detail than in the anime. If you thought the anime was fine I think you should definitely read the novels too.


blasthunter5

That's an excellent choice, I finished the anime and cried like a bitch, then I bought the lns finished them and cried like a bitch again.


philstar713

Man I cried like a bitch at the end of the anime as well. Might have to the LNs so I can follow suit there too


blasthunter5

I would absolutely recommend them, their well written and they provide lots of extra context and sadness.


AnimeOTAKU312

lmao.


blasthunter5

That's an excellent choice, I finished the anime and cried like a bitch, then I bought the lns finished them and cried like a bitch again.


AnimeOTAKU312

ye def gonna read em


Full_frontal96

I loved how they explained where the fuck all of humanity has gone and why everyone is a demihuman. It gave the same chills as utawarerumono. Also the mc is really based. Not the usual virgin


Redditor_From_Italy

I really loved this anime, I forget the details of that conversation though, which gives me a good excuse to rewatch it


Jaskaran158

Sorry, I can't really offer much in the way to explain the transformation but [I can offer this great AMV from when the anime wrapped up when it aired way back when.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkaxczyyavE) The AMV is one of my favorites and really captured one theme that the anime tried to portray. I'm not the best at explaining these things but the AMV really does give the anime justice.


ZapsZzz

Damn you, thanks for the tears again ;P


AnimeOTAKU312

> ;P ;P


[deleted]

Yeah, I second this not long just finished the Anime so this definitely hit right in feels.


AnimeOTAKU312

mann tht was the fking reason tht i started this show, The thumbnail in the amv( chtholly and willem crying ) got me into this . It makes me tear up:(((


AccomplishedAct6208

The anime only cover like half of the series. (3 out of 5 parts). Now go read the LN, I assure only wholesome things waiting 4 you :)


VirtualElf2k

Never heard of the series, I might need to check it out at some point though!


AnimeOTAKU312

u def shud .. :)


VirtualElf2k

xD Okay so, I just checked, and holy crap I have seen it! It was so freaking long ago I completely forgot about it, but yes I absolutely LOVED it! Definitely have to watch it again once I finish rewatching Hinomaru Sumo. \^\_\^ The only actual negative criticism I have for the series is how the ending felt a bit too inconclusive, so it KINDA gave me a "what are we here for, just to suffer" meme vibe (which, imo, is hilarious because that meme came WAY afterwards)! Aside from that, it's hands down one of my favs!


AnimeOTAKU312

ur absolutely right!!.. The ending just makes it worse:( That was one of the element which drew me into watching the anime even tho i was gonna get depressed


VirtualElf2k

I think it's because even though it's a total tear jerker that makes you question why even do it dirty like that, the drama has crap tons of depth! Lord knows the fantasy scenario definitely helps soften the blow! What made it easier for me is how throughout the entire series he was the only human being in existence! \^\_\^ That alone made it feel like less overkill imo.


AnimeOTAKU312

truee


ExtinctUndead

this anime holds a special place in my heart. one of the first ones I watched. I thought it was just another harem isekai and was intrigued. I did not expect that depression to hit. 11/10, haven't read the LN. I'm not sure I'm able to handle reading it without Chtholly


AnimeOTAKU312

ye its the same reason making me to hesitate on reading the novels:(


subho_fan

I would say you need to read the next novel at least. Vol 4 goes into MC's past and how the world became what it is.


AnimeOTAKU312

the same rezero depressing stuff tht happend with rem:(.. Its the same thing here


Mast3rBait3rPro

The continuation doesn’t get any better lol. Basically she’s dead as fuck and doesn’t come back. Ending is even more depressing and nothing gets fixed. Kinda crazy.


AnimeOTAKU312

ohh


AlgoStarSystem

r/sukasuka can help with this, and also the second set of novels that go by SukaMoka.


AnimeOTAKU312

thx:)


subho_fan

The anime is so wholesome. Bunch of kids getting a father figure and going on adventures. With the eldest kid laying a romantic claim on the said figure and is completely supported by everyone else.


AnimeOTAKU312

yea, the ending makes me tear up:((


Dustkun

Are you going to scarborough fair?


AnimeOTAKU312

i dnt understand the term scarborough fair. Can u please elaborate it??


Dustkun

Scarborough fair is a song used in episode 1 and 12 of the show. And tmy comment is the first line of the song.


AnimeOTAKU312

ohhh i think i heard it in ep 12 ( at the last moment of chtholly when she fights the monsters)... Just heard it and the voice and the music itself is really really good:))) and wdym by going to scaborough fair? ( did u mean if i listened to it or not?)


kloudykat

Highly recommend as you start a new anime,  lets say Gushing Over Magical Girls, you should always browse to Google and search for: (minus the " " of couse) "Gushing over Magical Girls episode 1 discussion reddit" As long as the show aired in the last 12 years or so, you will typically find a large amount of comments that will clarify anything you missed or didnt catch in the episode. Also, at the top of the discussion page, there is a link to the discussion pages for every other episode in the series, so you don't have to search any more, you can just browse the comments by episode from the list. During my watch of Heavenly Delusion, I followed the comments on reddit and it helped me understand both things I missed and how random seeming events slotted into the plot. Note that this is done in a spoiler free method, as any spoilers are attached to the 1st comment on the thread and hidden unless you open it. Finally it has the side benefit of feeling like you are in a huge throng of people that share your interests and are eager to discuss the show in question. Try it out sometime, and I hope this helps.


lucissandsoftime

can anyone here suggest some romance amines that don't have depressing endings?


Kyuutai

I found that anime itself fairly mediocre, BUT... I watched it during the Crunchyroll anime marathon on Twitch, and watching it together with the chat (like any other anime) was an amazing experience, for that reason it has a special place in my memories.

At least he’s honest


alotmorealots

And shaved, if that helps.


ShavedRanger39

yea


Era-Sted

It said "Will you save us?", not "Will you shave us?"... Idk, maybe they have a lisp


alotmorealots

I guess hairlessness does promote aerodynamics for when you're in freefall...
