/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I just finished ciconia, what a snorefest. how is this part of the when they cry series? that's just false advertising. I understand now why ciconia is discussed so little here and why ryukishi dreads to write phase 2. he realized that he wrote something completely boring. I don't want phase 2, start a new series please, ryukishi. where the hell were the mysteries, it didn't feel like a wtc series at all. getting emotionally invested for any of the characters was also just impossible. and the nonstop political commentary also gave me a headache. Slowly realizing that this curveball that I'm yearning for would not come. quite confused how that one anon said that phase 1 was better than episode 1 of higu and umi.
>picrel was unironically the peak of phase 1
