Honey & Clover II will starts airing on 29th June 2006, which is this month!

This 2nd season will have 13 episode, opening n ending song by the same artist n same main cast as the previous season. If u want to know why only 13 episode n not 26 episode, read through the rest of the entry to find out.

The opening song will be Fugainaiya by YUKI. The ending song will be Split by Suneohair (I missed Waltz so much!). Both the same artist who sang Dramatic n Waltz in the 1st season. Insert songs will also be sang by the same group of artist as previous installment.

The director will be different though. The new director is the Episode 12 director of 1st season. Episode 12 is the episode where Morita kissed Hagu n then left for America. The director has plenty of experience so he should be able to keep up with the reputation of Honey & Clover.

The scripwriter, character design n music direction will be handled by the same people from the 1st season. With this, expect the same brilliant dialogue, consistent drawing from 1st season n more insert songs plus great timing for the music to kick in.

So far, the cast for Hagu, Takemoto, Yamada, Mayama, Morita, Shuu n Rika has been confirmed to be the same cast for 1st season. The animation will be handled by J.C. Staff, the same studio that make 1st season.

Timeline:
The duration for their study is 5 years.

The ending of 1st season is during the middle of Hagu's 4th year. We should be seeing Hagu graduate in this season.

Takemoto has extend his study to 6 years. He is now in the same final year as Hagu, n should graduate alongside her.

Morita will be entering the academy again as a 3rd year Japanese Arts student, so he'll still be studying (His course before this is Sculpture). This is his 9th year

Mayama n Yamada already graduate, so we don't have to worry about them

From the pattern we see in the 1st season, we should expect at least 1 more year or at most 2 years of Honey & Clover. We should be going through another Christmas n another sakura-viewing(cherry blossom) in 2nd season. The ending of 2nd season might be around graduation, i think.

Here's some spoiler for u guys who can't wait


Currently, the manga is at Chapter 61. The manga series runs monthly in Chorus magazine. The 1st season covers until Chapter 47.
Based on 1st Season, 1 anime episode should cover 2 manga chapters. When the 2nd season ends, we will roughly have 19 chapters to cover. So, expect some chapters to be a single episode. They might also take parts from past chapters that weren't shown in the 1st season

Let's hope that Honey & Clover will keep up with its reputation n make us addicted to it again!

So far, insert songs by Shikao Suga n SPITZ has been confirmed.

"The sequel and final installment to the highly popular series once again delves into the life stories and love lives of Takemoto Yuuta, Mayama Takumi and Morita Shinobu. Of course, the love triangles and tribulations they face will continue, and eventually decide the paths to their future" Quote from ANN
zOMG, FINAL INSTALLMENT? Is this saying that the manga will end soon or there will be no more Honey & Clover anime?

P/S: Haruhi Suzumiya n Ouran Host Club, watch out!

Arr good finally season 2 is here. I miss the OVA, wonder who is willing ot share it

[C1] Honey & Clover

Chapter F n Chapter L is at the bottom

Enjoy Mayama n Lohmeyer-senpai

w00t for more insanity from Morita-san!!

i hope there's someone subbing this second season.. bahaha cant wait to watch this amazing anime again.. it's been awhile since i last watch a good anime.. hehehe..

29th june 2006....... cant wait

If I could recall correctly, Morita re-entered the academy and pursue with a different course than the one he did previously... I think.

He was pursuing Sculpture before this n has graduated. Now, he has re-entered the academy to study Japanese Arts. Which means the 9th year he's in the academy....

and he wears cloth like a little kid

aiyah on 29 june? skool starts aaa...

Haha, maybe to celebrate his return? U can always expect Morita to be wacky n unpredictable. This is not really spoiler, but Season 2 will tell us something about Morita's childhood, maybe show us why he become so crazy?

Haha, i'll also start my killer Beta year at MMU. Same luck

Hmm, looking forward to it. Really love Morita and his Morita - ness alot.

it looks like the same people/band will be singing for the honey and clover II.. ya! i love the soudtrack of this anime

anyway here's a preview of the songs http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Info/depapepe/
enjoy

Only 13 episodes? :/

Ya, i think they can't cover just a few chapters in 26 episode. I'm not sure how many chapters so far. But from all the spoiler that i've read through seems like we'll be seeing more character development of Morita as



Hmm, i wonder why not a lot of Malaysians watch Honey & Clover? I'm just a bit tired of those high-school animes, yet this is the only anime i've seen that sets in a university.

About what will probably happened in Season 2,


FYI, the current chapter is chap58 n the chpater for ending of Season 1 is chap 46. Not enough material to make a complete season

After started to get tired of "deja vu" animes and narutards, this is one anime i really looking forward to.

I loved the 1st season of Honey n Clover, really one of the best animes i watched!

omg.. where did u read the manga.. i was searching high and low for it...

I didn't. I spoil myself at Animesuki's forum
If u're looking for the manga, u can find it around here, look for it urself

oh i've been to this site, but u can't download the manga here....hehe oh well gotta wait for the anime then..

Looks like we are all in the same killer year. LOL Except Im not in MMU

new here.....

looks like no more spitz songs in 2nd season eh?

Haha, Spitz will return. If u scroll down in ANN's page for H&C II, u can see this

Shikao Suga (IN)
SPITZ (IN)
SuneoHair (ED)
YUKI (OP)

Meaning that there will be insert songs from Shikao Suga n Spitz in 2nd Season. I'm just wondering how the new ED is going to beat Waltz.

P/S: I'll constantly update my 1st post, so come back n read it once in awhile.

soundtrack for a show plays a vital role.. it adds more emotions to it...
agree?

Very much. Music adds something to wat u're seeing, instead of just dialogue. Regardless of whether it's BGM or inserts, when u put them n the choice of music is wat matters. With H&C, u get great BGM that's used when it suits it n inserts for special scenes to add more effects.

When u consider H&C, which has nothing to do with music n something like NANA, u can see that there's more variety in H&C, but u only see a few in NANA.
That's why H&C rocks

yes, and H&C uses soundtrack very efficiently

animenfo show season 2 only last 13ep long,
sad, i hope it can be as long as season 1

zOMG, FINAL INSTALLMENT? Is this saying that the manga will end soon or there will be no more Honey & Clover anime?
OK, seems like the runtime is a bit longer, as in 25minutes instead of the usual 21minutes.
And we have the first episode's title here. Seems like Takemoto's episode

no more honey and clover??? *sob*

i hope it will be a good ending

Dun forget about Genshiken

Well teh majority of anime fan 4rom malaysia are blind with "N & B-trad" animu

This post has been edited by miloy2k: Jun 27 2006, 11:33 AM

ei.. i cant remember the ending for the first season, can someone remind me? hehe.. i just very frustrated everyone still single at the end of season 1.. hehe

I am planning to watch season 1 tonight

This post has been edited by shinjite: Jun 27 2006, 04:02 PM

Will check out Genshiken, thanks for recommendation. Honey & Clover forever!

genshiken is nice as well.. but the anime is a tad short.. only 12 epis if i'm not mistaken

Hmmm, I have Genshiken but I hasn't watch it and speaking of which, my friend borrowed something to me and he hasn't return them

Anyhow, can't wait until 29th for the first episode to air. Hopefully the sub will be out soon after that

*Already given up on Marimate >_>

Just finish watched season 1.

Nice anime indeed. Thx for the people that had intro me this anime, worth watching.

Altho Takemoto appears in like every single episodes? and Morita only appears in some, I think that



I dont fell like Takemoto is the main Hero of this story...

Hmmm, I don't know but somehow I get the feeling that the producer wants Morita to be a "sad" character, where he runs about for everyone but in the end he gets nothing.

Actually I think the 5 friends, Mayama, Morita, Yamada, Hagu, Takemoto are the main characters. Their friendship is shown in a lot of episodes. But Hagu should be the lead character, since it all started when Hagu enter the uni n the 5 of them become friends. Takemoto just gets to narrate most of the story, can't imagine Hagu narrating...

I still like Takemoto though, he's kinda like myself. They are in love with each other but still friends, this is something amazing...

It's already Friday, awaiting the subs soon, maybe next week, since they have to do the OP n Ed as well...

This post has been edited by H4RRY: Jun 30 2006, 02:04 AM

Morita fans here

But on a serious note, I think the characters blended with each other well. Mayama wouldn't be as attractive without Rika/Yamada and in the same way, Morita wouldn't be interesting without Takemoto, the old man and also Hagu. They depend on each other, which is what makes this story interesting.

And this is why I'm really hoping that the 2nd season can be as good.

It is confirm that Hagu likes Morita, so it says by the sensei.

But it didnt say that Hagu likes Takemoto. Thats why I hate about it, when Takemoto confesse his felling to her, she took it pretty well, cried abit. Make me think that Hagu kinda like Takemoto, thats what I hate about.

hope so too... since most animu thier s2<s1

Actually, i've been spoiled abit about the story. Season 2 really is all about Hagu. Expect everyone close to Hagu to be affected. Takemoto, Morita, Shuu, and Yamada will definitely play some important role. Not too sure about Mayama. Hagu n Mayama intereact in a weird brother/sister way.

If they don't go far from the manga n keep up the quality, if they use the right music n played it at the right time, if they still use metaphors n represent the situation well, we'll see a better season than last season. Something big is gonna hapen.

Now, build up the enthusiasm n check for torrents every hour

New season was shown last night


anyways, except for Takemoto getting his driver's licence. there was only recap for Season 1.

Good recap episode, for those who have not watched the first season. OP/ED sequences are somewhat more buffed up versions of the first season's. Can't wait for next episode = new material.

Yuki's song is quite okay. but Suneohair's ED was better

Yeah, Splitz seems good, brings out the atmosphere from the last season's. Fugainaiya is an average Yuki song, like it as much as Dramatic.

btw teh raw version is out... thiz morning .. go go download

OMG, how do a get the raw? cannot find using Google. Guide me pls

Found it. Tokyosho.com

Oh god, i've spoiled myself by watching the raw, even though it's just a recap.

Well, Shuu x Hagu, Shuu x Rika and Morita x Yamada wasn't shown. The friendship between Takemoto x Hagu also not shown, since it takes too long to show it

Even though it's a recap, Takemoto's narration n how they tell the past stories works for me. I'm starting to for the next episode.

Wish they would've shown Yamada x 5 childhood friends n how they propose though.

Overall, good quality, good OP, ED n inserts. OMG, i want to watch next episode now! Damn it, maybe i should go rob J.C. Staff or something

Episode 2 was shown last night
I just have one thing to say. Takemoto's clothline is one hell of a move

The wait is killin me

C1Anime released 1st episode.

I wonder which one should I follow.... C1 or Solar

You know when chu see them.

and tell us which one is better...

I've watched both n i think the C1 translation is better. They change the translation to what they think suits the scene. As for Solar, they stick to the real meaning n only change abit. C1 version should be more friendly.

RAW version j.k.

I think solar is better.

hmm i personally prefer solar for season 1.
i dunno about the new episode as i did not d/l the c1 version...

I had C1 for season 1

epsd 2 is out!

NyahHhh~ Will download it as soon as I get back home.

Yamada is better, what a waste her love is unreply....

U can either go here or read the spoiler below (not really spoiler).

lol. already shown that in teh preivius page

ya the hiccups are cute.... cant wait for epi 3.. coz nomiya will be back...
i hope nomiya and yamada will be together... yamada deserves someone that loves her in return.. heheh

Solar already release yesterday... but I've decided to wait for C1's

@timjim : always siong ha.... u too emo watching it... lol

The sparks between morita and Hagu-chan is one of the main reason I continuely watch this series. Takemoto + Hagu =

haha... not emo ler... just really felt it. I think for me, I would like to watch more about Yamada and Morita's story. Hehe

epsiode 2... we can conclude that it was basically about hiccups

i'm still thinking about the meaning of hiccups in this context.... anybody?
