Cosmicblizzard has been very adamant that [C] is Nakamura's best work.darkside31337 said:

Well at least I get why everybody makes fun of his taste now :/
The Travel
This was one of those experimental animated shorts that make no sense. I think there might be a story in there somewhere, but the only thing I could get out of it was that the lady was in love with a statue or something.
I think she might have had sex with it a one point, but I'm not entirely sure.
The artwork was absolutely stunning. It didn't animate very well, but it was still a feast for the eyes.
Some memorable moments include a guy that was eating babies out of a vagina looking thing like he eating out of a bag of chips. There was also a dude with no pants and a very well placed snake. It was a very classy film.

Better to watch it for the wrong reasons then to not watch it at all!

Much as I love Utena, I'm realistic, I can't see them ever going back and making it look any better than it does on these re-releases.
And the packaging is amazing.

Seems my assumptions from a couple of weeks ago were spot on, but the show decides to throw an asspull curveball. I still love the show, but I'm afraid it gets a bit too convoluted for it's own good (and my taste) by now. Japanese writers really need to learn that "more convoluted" doesn't exactly equal "better" - quite the contrary in most cases. That shit plagues all forms of Japanese entertainment, though (except maybe for hentai). I assume nobody ever tought them the KISS principle.

Penguindrum is convoluted now? I don't follow. It doesn't explain everything, but story-telling wise it has been pretty straight-forward. There are no elements in the plot that I can say are confusing.

Oh yeah, I guess I have. I don't love [C] or anything, but it's definitely more in tune with my tastes than any of Nakamura's other work. I can't say it's objectively the best because objectivity is meaningless in the first place.

I didn't mean the two characters were similar at all,
just the ambiguity of their relationships with the titular characters, the notion of yuri or whether it's just a sisterly platonic type of loving going on.

Maybe "convoluted" isn't quite the right word, but theRegulus Tera said:

Really? You didn't think it was any better at all than the first 11 episodes? The style was pretty different, particularly through the song part, and I thought that the "finally, she's actually playing well" aspect was good, considering how she'd been before. It was a pretty solid final episode, for a modern harem show. You don't usually see endings as clearly focused on one relationship as this one was... I like that R-15 came closer to actually having an ending than a lot of the genre does.Steroyd said:

Dio - Yeah, there's no explanation for how he survived, but somehow he clearly managed it... at first I thought he had died too, but yeah, that voice at the end does show that he lived.
Similarly, even though the musketeer guy also was suggested to have died, that ending showed that no, he did indeed survive, and ended up with the Disith girl. Happy ending, I like that.
Where they went at the end - We've argued about this before, and just like then, I still believe that what happens at the end is that the ship opens up and terraforms (or something) the planet they are already on, to make it more habitable, as it was supposed to have done when they first settled the place but didn't... but hopefully this next series will resolve this point for good, whether they are indeed still on that same planet or not, whether it did improve the place, etc. But that's what I think happened.

As good as Spice and Wolf was, the fact that sometimes it did feel like an economics lesson -- and I really don't like economics -- was the one negative about the series, I thought.
So you're still wrong about it, then.
I remember being moderately entertained by all three seasons of El Hazard, but I'm not sure which was best or worst... The Wanderers is the longest one though (the OVAs are 11 eps, and the third season 13 eps), so there is that (for good or bad). The setting of the third season (The Alternative World) is interesting, in that one they get pulled into yet another world, and are in a giant machine city style place. On that note Wanderers might be the weakest of the three seasons, sure, but it was entertaining enough to finish, certainly, at least. The cast's alright, though of course both the cast and plot are often pretty cliche. I'd say the franchise is okay, sure. It's certainly nothing great, and yes, sometimes it's really stupid, but overall it's probably okay. It can be amusing at times too.
That art's perfectly decent, for anime artwork.Aigis said:
I assume the defense is either "but at least Higurashi has a good story" or "well, it's charming because it was obviously done by someone who couldn't draw at all but they did anyway", right?Aigis said:

Sounds fair.darkside31337 said:
It is a curious coincidence, but considering how adamant the show is on destiny and crap I wouldn't consider it an arsepull. Regardless, it's probably a bit early to call out on this particular plot thread, either in favour or against.wsippel said:

Squid Girl Season 2 - 01
Seems like this show will continue to be an inoffensive somewhat enjoyable time waster.

Still not hard I guess.

Well every other show might as well not even bother airing if they're not going to be full of terrible puns! That's time that could be better spent on adverts or something that will have puns.

Not sure I like the new OP, but the animation seems better than last seasons.

Thanks for dropping some factual information, I tried searching this morning and was running into dead websites with no useful information./XX/ said:It was really big in France, Italy and here in Spain (specially after the success of Heidi, Girl of the Alps, although that series is not part of the World Masterpiece Theater program) where the important TV stations all were (and some still are) interested in making constant re-runs, because those works are etched into the sweet childhood memories of a whole generation.
I don't think the World Masterpiece Theater objective was to please those who are "connoisseur" or fans of the literary works, obviously, and in my opinion are more oriented to a family experience, discovering (or rediscovering) known stories in an accessible way for all, to share them together.
From what I know, in Japan the program has always been an event in itself, and not-very-succesful entries of it like Homeless Child Remi (家なき子レミ
