Yeah, recently Crunchyroll starting posting a handful of these kinds of projects each month. Here's the current batch, and there's links to the past galleries in the same article.
Livin' the dream. For a gaming-side related tangent, he also worked on SkullGirls.

Yeah, it's very impressive. This guy deserves to have a long, successful career.
Right; that's where I got this short from. It's leagues ahead of the other stuff in that post (Magical Promise is particularly cringe-inducing), although Monaural has an interesting story concept.
Wow, the biggest news here though, is that Cindy Yamauchi has officially left Madhouse and joined MAPPA. I wonder how many more ex-Madhouse animators and animation directors are at MAPPA. Madhouse is really Badhouse now.
This is really cool, I love watching stuff like these.
studio mappa's gonna own if they keep this kinda stuff up
i'm saving the abridged version for when i've finished this epic legend of the wind of the universe!
This was pretty good.
edit:
i'm a huge sucker for these kinda things so... *bookmarks*
That's what I figured; heck, Dooppel by itself is way ahead of almost anything else they've ever posted so far IMO, but I figured people might want to take a look at everything else anyway.
My heart couldn't take it.
They're allowing him to work from Australia? That's...unconventional, isn't it? They must snail-mail him the ramen packets.
True. Limiting Araragi means limiting the fetishes/respective audiences they can sell those BDs to.
Crunchyroll has actually become quite the source for information, I've noticed recently. They're on the beat, surprisingly.
R.I.P. That Chihayabomba isn't helping. Bets: How long until MAPPA goes Manglobe and pulls a 'The Sacred Blacksmith?' I say three shows, moeblob on the fourth.

I don't expect that to happen while Maruyama is around.

If that happens, shall we call it, "The Watanabe Curse"?
Maruyama wouldn't sell out like that.

Well, I'll hope along with you guys.
Haha, not until the third studio! like tic-tac-toe. (probably, yeah)

Night Raid 1931 1
Not sure if I like the idea of a super-powered team that are encouraged not to use their abilities.
Also, this whole raid mission had very little context. Even having seen episode 0, I was pretty confused regarding the character motivation and the plan itself. Should've been more time to flesh things out.
Might give it a few more episodes, but I've gotten a bit weary.

So what would happen if this season's anime was ranked according to AniDB's weighted score.

nah i never get tired of it
This certainly explains a lot!
Surprisingly better than most lists I've seen

That is a pretty good indicator of what shows are getting the best fan reception. (And it gets the #1 choice right!)
That's actually a pretty good list. The only outlier I can see is Rinne.
Kill Me Baby is too high.

Eh, I think Milky Holmes is better than that. (Doesn't help that apparently no one is watching it.)

A decent list, actually. Fairly representative of overall popularity I'd imagine. Maybe I'd have switched Rinne and Aquarion Evol, but not really much else.
Well, regardless of which is better (haven't watched Milky Holmes), one would expect Rinne to be much higher than that considering how well it panders to anime fans.
Then again, maybe Rinne isn't popular among the western crowd.
The funny thing is you still don't hate them as much as they hate you.

It's not that popular. I see a lot of complaints about how cliche it is.
Milky Holmes is in 23rd place. Far bigger outlier than Lagrange. Nise is in 2nd, which is terrible. A number of shows are lower than crap like Papa no ikouto and Area. Its just a popularity list, it happens to mostly work because this season is pretty weak, but its no more accurate than the regular rating.

Apart from Thermae Romae being in the upper tier, there's not much good, or right, about that list. Not when the best show is in the middle, Milky Holmes is almost at the bottom, etc...
Yep.
Imagine if it was sorted by the average and not the weighted score.

I can't imagine Hidamari Sketch doesn't pay for itself, given that it's one of their successful(but not wildly) shows. It certainly wouldn't cost that much to make.
Part of the appeal of Hidamari Sketch is avoiding the creepy aspect usually found in those kinds of shows.
nisemonogatari - 08
After all the hubbub I expected something raunchier. Perhaps it's a sign of how far gone I am, but the actual tooth-brushing was kinda meh.
It's somewhat twisted, very perverted, back-and-forth dialogue paired with a focus on wiggling toes and head-tilts--can't say I didn't enjoy it.

We should bribe Jexhius into doing this.
That downward progression exists in Angel Beats too, but I can't bring myself to recommend that show... it's just too painful. I'm not that cruel.
That reminds me that Angel Beats has a literal trainwreck as part of its "story."
Nisemonogatari 8
As others have said, the simple toothbrushing animations themselves weren't too bad, it was the combination of EVERYTHING that drove this into the upper layers of the stratosphere.
As an aside, it's interesting that the first episodes of both story arcs have ignored the titular character to focus on a side character.

Making quality OPs doesn't bring in any more money.
Yeah, Denpa had a great OP, but only average sales.

It's pretty sad to see a great series like Angel Beats attacked again and again, rarely with any acknowledgement that the hatred is entirely personal opinions and isn't representative of the show's general popularity or overall quality...
I mean, when I dislike something I certainly say so, but I do try to think about an objective viewpoint too, about the overall quality of the show irrespective of my dislike for it. I know that's hard sometimes, certainly true for everyone, but I do try... that's entirely absent from posts like this.
Of course I'm biased, given that Angel Beats was one of my three favorite animes of 2010 (probably #2 behind Sora no Woto), but still, it's worth saying again.
No it doesn't. Contrarian love for the horrid song aside, the visuals are pretty weak and all over the place in terms of concept.
Yeah, just had a closer look and that certainly makes sense.
please, it had an awesome song and lots of Erio, what more does it need?
besides actual content?
