First From the New World and now this. These delaycasts seem like a bad idea.
KyoAni's departure from dancing OPs/EDs was a rite of passage signalling KyoAni's entrance into adulthood. You don't just go back! Even if the show is about chuunibyou!
I wonder why they do them. Is it for contracting issues with whatever station that they're in business with? Do they have to wait so they don't broadcast it before a certain station does?

Well that looks remarkably ugly. The big white spaces are extremely distracting.
I don't quite get the 'seizure' comments though.
Anime on Demand announced it for the UK about five minutes ago as well. No idea about the schedule yet.
Well, once I'm at my desktop I'll have to sit myself down and force myself to watch it. I'll probably end up making a few.

It's got to be contractual, CR understand the importance of having shows at as soon as possible after the Japanese airing to deter fansubbers.
Do you suffer from motion sickness at all? It's a very similar feeling to that for me. Maybe it's a personal failing but I can't take in the whole of the image of the Chuunibyo OP at once - my eyes flick to track the image as it flicks from side to side, and in doing this it makes me feel sick.
I am very prone to motion sickness, though, so I can appreciate that it might not affect other people as much as it does me.

I know... ;_; I just don't want to accept that.
The constant quick flickers between shots really were headache inducing.
Maybe it's not so bad on a bigger screen? (am on my phone)

Rather nauseating, this was :/. Will still watch and just skip the op.
I can only guess that the producers want more money than CR is willing to payy for an actual simulcast, so this is some sort of compromise. It's not ideal, but better than nothing, I think we can all agree.

It sounds like that is seriously Ishihara's plan - it's supposed to be difficult to watch with both eyes, so you only watch it with one eye. Not his greatest idea. Oh well!
Crazy Girl Anime - Episode 1
I made it through 14 minutes of the episode. Can't stand a minute more of this. The best thing I can say about the actual show is that it's not as bad as the OP. But the premise is kinda stupid, I don't find any of the jokes funny, and I don't like the direction of the show at all. It is clearly not for me, so I'm bailing out now. Dropped.

At least the money's going to the right place.
How the mighty have fallen.
to be fair, it wasn't like Hyouka's OP was particularly inspired, but at least it wasn't pumped full of uncharacteristic fanservice and irritating cuts.
Sadly, this show really seems to be following the footsteps of Haruhi, not surprising due to the director, but disappointing since Haruhi was a terrible show.

In that case, all is forgiven, as this would imply he did the storyboards for Nichijou OP 1 and 2.
Is it the same for EDs?

I'll still be watching the first episode to determine my own thoughts on the show, but of what you watched, how similar or dissimilar would you say it is compared to Haruhi?

Yes, he storyboarded and directed Nichijou's OPs. Its EDs were handled by assistant director Taichi Ishidate.
That was the first thing that came to my mind too.
I doubt that's true. It probably has nothing to do with money. Magi is a big Aniplex shounen series like FMA and Blue Exorcist. Guess what, those were delaycasts too.

This is nothing new. From the New World is NOT a delaycast. It is a simulcast with TV Asahi's terrestial broadcast. The CS Asahi broadcast is on satellite only.
That's my issue as well--certain types of motion can induce dizziness and headache for me, the foremost example being rapidly blinking or flickering lights or images. I don't have epilepsy to my knowledge, but it makes me extremely uncomfortable all the same.

I should have known that you'd be on the ball. Of course, KOR's OP lacks the hateful 'shifting side to side' aspect.
Yea I would say that's a pretty bad OP too.
It's not really much like Haruhi at all. It's more like some personal story about a guy who was childish as fuck hoping to make a fresh start as a "normal dude" in a new school. But he keeps running into this crazy girl who is still childish as fuck, and she brings out his hidden tendency to be attracted to the same kind of dumb shit (pretending to be a superhero, making stupid poses, shouting stupid catch phrases, etc). They try to play it all up with a lot of physical comedy but none of it works for me. I just think they're stupid and childish, and I'm not interested any of it. Not funny.

That's one's pretty bad too, but what makes the Chu 2 Byo one worse is the white space in the shots and that the shots are constantly switching sides. It's like dealing with constant glare while my eyes dart back and forth between the rapidly switching shots.
I really dislike these disorienting OPs... I can understand the intentions behind them, but the simple unpleasantness of watching them does far more harm, I imagine. OPs like Nichijou and Baccano also feature fast cuts, but they're linked in a manner that makes them easy to follow, they have the appearance of smooth transitions as opposed to jerkiness.

Well, they both certainly did an awesome job respectively then.
In contrast, I wonder what's up with the OP and ED for Chuunibyou.
I mean, the ED isn't quite as hideous as the OP, but it's definitely unremarkable.
I should get around to Baccano! this year.
I doubt that's true. It probably has nothing to do with money. Magi is a big Aniplex shounen series like FMA and Blue Exorcist. Guess what, those were delaycasts too.

Thanks for the info! I wonder if it's Aniplex's or CR's decision to delaycast it then?

Its gotta be Aniplex. Its not in CR's interest at all to delay something.

I suspect the target audience for this show is people who indulged in these kind of dumb fantasies as a teenager and have some nostalgic fondness for that time.
We all have our bad days.
Baccano definitely feels more natural and it has some great editing and transition scenes that makes it easy to follow.
Except it seems like a bad season is what people are trying to say. lol.
You really should, it's one of my favorite anime. Brain's Base took some very unconventional decisions in making it, and I think it really payed off and elevated it above the source material.
Train of Midnight

Borderline seizure inducing. Looks like it was made by a middle schooler with Windows Movie Maker.
Are we 100% positive this is the real OP?
I look forward to there being an anime one day pandering to my nostalgic fondness for my teenager days where I would spend weekend nights at LAN cafes with friends playing Counterstrike. Could be a massive hit. Or not.
Baccano was actually a show that I didn't like initially but the more I watched it, the more I fell in love with it. It's definitely something that could have fallen apart very easily but some tight directing kept it together.

Something I'd certainly rather forget.
The OP is what first influenced me to watch Baccano! It really does everything right, and fortunately the show lives up to it.
Buzzkill
Maybe I will find it funny tho, its anything like Okabe and Kurisu from Steins; Gate antics? (If you know anything about it)
Shame to know its guilty pleasure at best.
It needs to be accurate to the era too. Which means the game actually has a dozen or so maps, but yet everyone still only plays the same 3 ones. After the first 12 episodes, they don't even bother anymore and it's just de_dust all the way! Lol.
Actually there is.. something like that. you maybe want to bookmark your post.

I'm getting some negative vibes from this review. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised - there's only a few KyoAni works I actually enjoy.
