The real tragedy here is that they're supposed to be 3min episodes, and P-IG's lazy CG thing gets THREE episodes (9mins!), while Shaft's silly moe thing gets TWO episodes (6mins!!!), yet the really cool one by 4C and Kazuto Nakazawa only gets ONE episode (3mins!? :/).

Injustice!

thats short I not sure whats the point of hypeing this (nintendo).

 

[duckroll]

Why do people care about anything other than Kazuto Nakazawa's short, again? Goddamn plebs.

His Asura's Wrath DLC episode will have a longer run time than this short. :/

I still can't believe they got Nakazawa AND Ohira to work on Japanese PRESS X TO JASON.

Why not? They even got Itano as the main action director for the game itself. He did tons of storyboards along with other dudes. We also knew that Kameda and a bunch of other well known animators were working on animation for the game before it was even out, we just didn't know that it would end up being fully animated DLC episodes.

Spoiler

Can't wait for the Youtube videos.

I kinda see Ohira as a more artsy, classy type of guy; doesn't he live ascetically or something like that?

Not "artsy" or "classy" enough to say no to working on the Tsubasa and XXXHolic movies.

 

[BluWacky]

Kawhato Whothewhata?

He directed the anime sequence in Kill Bill.

More importantly, he's an ace character designer and a very good animation director in general. Shows you've probably seen his work on are Ashita no Nadja (he did the OP), Samurai Champloo (character designs and directed a variety of episodes) and Lodoss War TV (he did the entire OP by himself).

Nakazawa also directed the opening animation for Catherine, so he has worked with 4C before on game projects.

What a bunch of cheapskate, the budget must be ridiculously low if they can only afford 3min of studio 4c, prodution IG has to resort to using ingame models over they’re ugly cg and shaft must be in it for the left over cigarettes in the ashtray and free peanuts at the bar.

Now that a company like Scamco is out spending them(pacman), it must very embarrassing for Nintendo to bring up this project.


worst thing to come out of ani-matrix/batman gotham knight/halo legends type deal.

Well, I guess quality over quantity. :\ Damn Nintendo for being such cheapskates.

That's been Nintendo's modus operandi since like forever and a yesterday.

Nakazawa's Asura episode looks much more traditional, but has good solid colors.

[Dedication Through Light]

Thats actually pretty stunning, tempted to get that anime instead of RE:ORC now.

Arata vs Taichi for the right to Chihaya. Cut to black as they dive for the final card.

Well, it's not like the real final episode will be any more rewarding.

A bit tangential, but I've always disliked the "Let's duel for this girl/guy!" scenarios, and they're far more common than something so ridiculous should be.

If you can think of a better way to resolve Arata vs. Taichi I'd like to see it!

 

[trejo]

Arata and Taichi hook up. Chihaya ends up with both kanade and the Queen. Table-kun and Porky, well, you get the idea.

But they're in love with the sport, not each other!

Clearly, Chihaya marries one and makes the other her mistress(?).

Whoever wins loses anyway when he discovers Chihaya and Porky going at it inside the Karuta Club room. Delicious NTR ending.

In case anyone cares, Miyazaki Goro announced at an event today that his movie Kokuriko no Zaka kara (From Poppy Hill) is going to be released on Blu Ray and DVD on June 20.

What's actually waaay more interesting to me is an NHK documentary behind the scenes at Ghibli titled (roughly) "Poppy Hill, 300 Days of War Between Father and Son, Hayao Miyazaki x Goro Miyazaki" which is getting a BD/DVD on May 16 (This might have already been broadcast and is just the BD/DVD version). It supposedly shows Hayao and Goro fighting over this project.

That actually sounds pretty interesting, assuming it's not too watered down. I am kind of surprised that Ghibli would allow them to make such a documentary. It's one thing for everyone to know that father and son have been fighting over production, quite another to have it shot and recorded for public consumption.

The character designs in Glass Fleet are stunning.

Funnily enough that's exactly the word I used to describe them to a friend. Of course I'm going by the definition that's - "Causing or capable of causing emotional shock or loss of consciousness."

Nope. Why do you think athletes keep getting divorced?!

Shigurui is pretty insane. One of the most gory animes I've seen. Not really my kind of show though.

 

[Jex]

Unless they totally restructured the series, they seemed trapped by the manga right after the first 6 or so episodes.

The original Fullmetal Alchemist has taught me that anime writers don't necessarily need to be bound by anything.

Anime turns out better when the writers just start making shit up.
It gets especially delicious when they write themselves into a corner.

There is something to be said about the beauty of a well-planned trainwreck though.
