Risa Ebata's art was nasty in Gravion, unbearably ugly in Macross Frontier and dumb as hell in The Inspector. How is she still getting work? And in "high-profile, big-budget" projects, at that.

I'm nominating you to make the OT for AKB0048 next year.

Kawamori's new anime is big-budget?

 

[duckroll]

Kawamori's new anime is big-budget?

Yes, there's definitely quite a lot of money going into this. Even if it doesn't end up showing in the animation.

 

[7Th]

Risa Ebata draws the most believable cross-dressing characters in anime; you can actually believe they're men underneath all their make-up and clothing.

 

[Branduil]

Yes, there's definitely quite a lot of money going into this. Even if it doesn't end up showing in the animation.

I guess the real question is why Kawamori still gets money for things that aren't Macross.

 

[duckroll]

Why not? He's a big name producer and designer, and he basically runs the show at Satelight.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Did you not see Macross Zero? Hell, Arjuna was even IN Macross Zero.

Spoiler

I loved Macross Zero

I haven't seen any Macross except for the first two episodes of Frontier in an anime club a few years back.

Fate Zero - 05

I want to sit down and have a pint with Rider, what a guy.

 

[Branduil]

Well, when's the last time he did something that wasn't Macross that actually made money?

 

[duckroll]

Aquarion definitely made money. Otherwise there wouldn't be a sequel. Escaflowne is also a pretty big hit. He also manages to keep Macross alive and profitable. I would say he's definitely not a commercial failure.

Well, I guess Japanese society isn't so sinful after all.

 

[cajunator]

Escaflowne was pretty massive if I recall correctly. It is also amazing. Still one of my favorites to this day.

You need to watch Macross, DYRL? and Macross Plus. Macross 7 also, if you dare.

 

[Jex]

Nobody complained when Miyazaki did it!

Hosoda > Goro Miyazaki btw.

That's not really saying much, is it.

 

[cajunator]

Ranka is HNNNGH. Otherwise, Macross Frontier is shit-tier.

 

[mAcOdIn]

Ranka is HNNNGH. Otherwise, Macross Frontier is shit-tier.

What? Ranka? Seriously?

 

[Jex]

Hopefully the image is accurate and this film will focus on a small number of characters as opposed to Summer Wars, which had such a large cast that it felt really unfocused at times.

I pray for this as well. Hopefully he realises that the large cast left us rather more detached from each individual character.

15 pages and no mention of a sequel to Bakemonogatari? Did I miss the memo and has it already been confirmed to be a trainwreck or is just nobody interested in this?

Bakemonogatari was about the only thing of recent years besides Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt that interested me.

When it was announced, a while back, there was quite a lot of discussion. This happened in the previous iteration of this very thread.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ranka is HNNNGH.

That's the sound of your brain having an aneurysm I hope.

 

[Dresden]

I guess she's puke-green moe.

 

[Crash Station]

Is Kawamori writing this?

e: god damn it i was kidding

See, I knew that this would be more than first meets the eye. Kawamori isn't done teaching us about the sinfulness of society.

It's a manga from 2008. That was the plot in it too.

Edit: Oh wait, I might be wrong.

 

[Dresden]

One day there will be an AKB49 anime handled by competent people.

I'm normally with you, but Ranka looks like a dog

Don't be like Unknown, Regulus.

Watch the rest of it, and not on Wikipedia.

You'll learn all about Crabs, Snails, Snakes. Monkeys and Cats.

No

Delicious!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They should have somehow connected AKB48 to the Macross mythos; considering macross took place in a time where AKB48 (could) have existed.

 

[Jex]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can't quite believe what I'm reading and I have read a lot of rather stupid things. I guess I respect that they're really going all out with it.

Elena is still a bitch. Kaito and the gang are too damn forgiving.

More than those guys, I'm really interested in the culture of the POG Givers. It really seems like they have absolutely no problem outright murdering people who can't solve their puzzles. We aren't going to see stuff like that based on the tone of the show, but with the introduction of Luke, it does raise some questions just how far this organization has gone and why.

 

[Branduil]

I can only hope that, at some point, we get an episode as amazing as Arjuna 9.

Is Aoi Hana any good? It's by the same creator of Wandering Son so I'm hoping it's just as good.

 

[Lafiel]

Yes; as a anime adaptation it's even better than Wandering son too!

Lesbian sex is always good.

did someone say lesbian sex?
Tell me more.
I am interested in such a subject.
On an educational level naturally.

Alright, lesbian sex it is then.

 

[InfiniteNine]

NO AKIO WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? NOOOOO

Chihayafuru 10: Komano and Kana would make a cute couple. >>

Great episode. Chihaya faito!

 

[PdotMichael]

It's pretty sad, even as member of the Green Gables Tea Party, that we are more talking about old stuff than about this season.

 

[CornBurrito]

I can give you a firsthand lesson if you want. You and me are going to have hot lesbian sex.

 

[Jex]

That's not particularly sad. Most of this season has been underwhelming and so we're talking about better shows. It's just the way of it.

 

[cajunator]

yay!

 

[trejo]

Every season is backlog season.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I may be the only person in here who is watching more stuff from this season than last season.

I am. Last season was shit for me. Only watched 5 while I'm watching 11 from fall.

 

[darkside31337]

You're not. I absolutely love this season to death, definitely my favorite fall season since 2007 and overall more enjoyable than the summer season this year.

 

[RurouniZel]

Phi Brain 10-11:

So we're introduced to the idol Elena who's also a POG giver. She's the standard "Love and Friendship is Bullshit! I refuse to believe such things exist" villain. So of course Kaito and the others show her just how true and valuable friends are by solving her puzzles under penalty of death (and outside interference). Also totally being set up to end up with Galileo, so that he's not left to simply pine for Nonoha uselessly for the rest of the show I suppose.

This show continues to remain enjoyable for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Femmeworth]

Is Aoi Hana any good? It's by the same creator of Wandering Son so I'm hoping it's just as good.

It's good. However, it has a non-ending since it only partially adapted the manga which is still running. There probably won't ever be a second season.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What... the fuck.

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Ame and Yuki - The Wolf Children) is supposed to be a story about parental love. The story is about a human woman Hana, who is so magnanimous with her love she is like a fairy tale character. She takes it upon herself to bring up two wolf children as her own - Ame and Yuki (Rain and Snow). It is a fantasy masterpiece like the world has never seen because, featuring characters with both humans and wolf faces.

The anime movie is produced by Studio Roadmap, while Studio Madhouse is only in the production committee, so maybe they're assisting.

Director/Script Concept: Mamoru Hosoda
Script: Satoko Okudera
Character Design: Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Animation Director: Takaaki Yamashita
Art Director: Hiroshi Oono


So it looks like Hosoda's new studio is confirmed, and Madhouse has another 10 nails in its coffin. Lol.



Edit: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/movie/2004667/full/

There are much more details here. Apparently the story is a 13 year life epic about how the 19 year old Hana meets and falls in love with a Wolf Guy (hopefully not *that* Wolf Guy!) and marries him, gives birth to two kids, and raises them over the years. Crazy furry!

Damn it Hosoda, get a better script writer.
