That makes a bit more sense. I guess they didn't want to use the actual name to avoid looking too much like an advertisement? Us nerds are a cynical bunch or something.
Oh right, OreShura. The references they make there are oddly specific too, but at least the characters are only describing the scenes and not actually re-drawing them. lol
Vivid Red 5
-No henshin
-No Docking
-No action
What the fuck, Takamura!? it was going so well too... I hope the show recovers for the next episode and brings back the fun.
Although I can still enjoy the super genkiness of Akane. As for today's featured character, she seems to have an interesting BACKSTORY. My only hope is that the crow is 100% evil and everything is played straight, focusing on style and action.
Last week's episode was so much better storyboarded and animated too... well, I can't expect everyone to be Trigger.
Psycho Pass 16
Noooooooo!?Not that one dude! What was his name, again
I get the feeling I was supposed to be shocked bybut I kinda just went "yeah sure, okay" instead.the robot boss lady reveal
Robotics;Notes 16
Noooooooo!?Not the lady with the robolegs! What was the point of her character, again
I'll tell you if I thinkif you can beat me in a game of Kill Balad.wether Subaru is really dead too or not
Man,poor side characters no one ever really cared about are getting offed left and right between these two shows.
Remember when Noitamina was good? Not even Pepperidge Farm does.

Just read the legitimately great manga instead.Friends Club 5
Yeah, this show is pretty bland, but I still half-watch/scrub it.

Looks like spring 2012 was one last gasp of glory rather than a revival. newtaminA reigns supreme.
The most 'Gundam' experiences are the worst one's though!
The first season had an obvious Monster Hunter clone, a Sacred Blacksmith parody, and Mecha sex scene between an Eva unit and a Gundam. It's just what the show does.
Fans feel clever when they get references, so why not make them happy with some really easy ones?
Silver Spoon. oldtaminA will rise again.
One show after they just run reruns for a whole season. It's going to need more than that.
Oh hey, I understand nerd pandering. White nerds have been tricked by Community, The Big Bang Theory, and Edgar Wright films for a while now.
I don't know why, but this particular reference just felt way beyond the pale.
Not as bad as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQYwFND7rHE
But pretty close. lol
I just looked it up, and the Sacred Blacksmith is also a Media Factory book, so this isn't really that different.Oh hey, I understand nerd pandering. White nerds have been tricked by Community, The Big Bang Theory, and Edgar Wright films for a while now.

Yeah, Community is a lot worse.Gonna lump Community in with Big Bang Theory huh are ya PUNK
Robotics;Notes 16
Yes, some shit went down.
They were probably pretty important too. But, they were mostly left in the dust since there was no real build up towards any of them outside of this episode. I guess at least I want to see the aftermath now too.

Therefore, Google wins.
Vividred Operation 5
So does this kind of confirm that?the Incarnate Engine is drawing power from alternate universes or something like that
Your favourite show is shit. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. And so on.Gonna lump Community in with Big Bang Theory huh are ya PUNK
Yep, MS is also a major sponsor. Bing it on your Windows 8 Phone!
It's still skeevy either way.I just looked it up, and the Sacred Blacksmith is also a Media Factory book, so this isn't really that different.

I don't understand the laugh. Did you think it was more predictable, or are you simply amused by the plot point? And I'm not even sure if that's correct anyway; it's just my guess.:lol

spice and wolf eps 4
woah stuff is happening. My brain is hurting trying to understand all this silver laundring though.
And perhaps a few hints at when shows like Space Dandy will be airing?@Thomasintokyo said:Today I work on the live stage design of symphogear 2. BTW the title of the show will not be Symphogear "2". Can't say it yet though
The airing one is AKB0048 S2, but I forget what all the other stuff he's got lined up is besides SD and Symphgear S2.@Thomasintokyo said:Right now I work for an airing show, one for july, one for october and one for january of next year + some project development and stuff.
I always end up thinking I'm a boobs man, but shows like Vividred always make me realize my true love for legs and butts.

The preproduction of a show (script and first designs) starts around 9 and 12 months before airing in general.
The firsts eps are produced slowly then it accelerates until the end. Episodes are still produced during broadcast of the firsts
Once the storyboard is finished we need 7 weeks to achieve a standard quality ep. Sometimes it can be a lot shorter!
On last year Lupin show. Friends told me they had less than 3 weeks from animation start till airing! Insane even for Japan.

One thing that I really forgot to mention yesterday when I made my earlier post was that Mochizō feels like your typical neutered male in a KyoAni show. Which is to say that he seems rather unconcerned with things that a typical teenage male is concerned with. To wit, when he fantasies about Tamako we see this:
Rather than some kind of erotically charged fantasy. Not that I'd expect to see that in a KyoAni show but it just demonstrates how far removed Mochizō is from any kind of believable teenage boy. There are other signs that Mochizō isn't a particularly realistic character, I mean, just check out his room:
Now I don't know how often KyoAni staff have been into the rooms of teenage males but I can assure that the vast, vast majority of them do not look like this. The organisation, the layout, the items he has in there, the train track? They don't seem to have any trouble creating a realistic girls room but this space just doesn't ring true. Where's the mess? The tacky posters? Etc etc.
Still, this wasn't a particularly good episode anyway. The bird, as usual, provided some of the best scenes in the episode but even his gags got recycle multiple times towards the end of the episode. Disappointing.

Another thing Hyouka got right. Well, two things.
Comparing Mochizou's room with Satoshi's... ah.
Hyouka is special.
