Seriously guys....
Yoshinari interview from Animage about the second cour
>Yoshinari says that the second OP/ED spoil everything so there isn't a lot he can say, Yoshinari likes spoilery OP/EDs because they get people excited
>Yoshinari identifies the most with the TV incarnation of Chariot/Ursula because he also has low self-esteem but younger animators really admire him so that lets him keep going
>the animation allegory still applies, sometimes he wonders if he made it too obvious with the introduction of Croix
>he knows people have been waiting for Akko and Diana entanglement since the first OVA and says the AkkoDiana arc is coming
>rewatch episode 8 after watching episode 16 and you will notice something new about Sucy
