Shit Otaku Say
I feel like this is a massive conspiracy perpetrated by the Sengoku Illuminati. lol
I still have dakkumauji's list saved and he recommends the same episodes!
(I mean, you like this more than Oda Nobuna, right?)
It's not a conspiracy if everyone agrees!
Each of the episodes I listed is better than Oda Nobuna in its entirety. Even with the overall 3:1-ish ratio of bad to good episodes, SenColle is still better!
This is director Shiotani's new Twitter icon. What is it? It's a mascot character for the Criminal Investigation Department - Commissioner Tarou!
In 12 hours or so, I suppose all will be revealed about the show itself. It's pretty likely that after the pre-screening event and live panel streaming on Nico they'll probably put up an actual PV.
I'm going to hold you to this.
Completely disagree with this.

I refuse to believe this is true. lol
That music... so ominous...
well, I didn't understand that much, although what I could clearly get is that continuous mood they set for this. When it was shown the cast in that little competitive bickering when they were practicing with the tower of cards exercise, at first I thought it was meant to be more playful and light, to show us something a little more amusing in their relationship that changed the overall mood of the episode even if only for a scene, but even them you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife! Totally unsettling, yeah.
Why? I mean look at Madoka.
That first shot with the 2D girls floating on a CG tank made me vomit.
Zetsuen and JoJo will prove which one that correct.
I had today off to wait for the gas man, so I watched a terrible OVA to celebrate.
Yami no Purple Eye (Purple Eyes in the Darkness)
Do you like 80s pop songs? Do you like coloured manga stills? Do you like these things together? Then you might enjoy this. This is what I imagine they put on loop on TVs in Japanese dentists at the end of the 80s or something.
This is an "adaptation" of a very popular shoujo horror manga by Chie Shinohara. It's about a half-leopard girl trying to evade capture by her suspicious teacher - from what I can glean from what I've just watched she appears to
. I dunno. You can't work out the plot from this anyway, as it's a bunch of pop songs set to a few bits of proper animation and a lot of stills from the manga - some of which get slightly animated so that the lead character's hair and skirt ripple in a non-existent breeze.
What I have mostly learnt from this OVA:
i) Leopards can run!
ii) Cities have lights!
iii) Sometimes leopards run through cities with lights!
iv) Seagulls can fly over the ocean FOR A VERY LONG TIME!
There was ONE thing that was worth watching, when the girl turned into the a leopard, because it was an elegant piece of animation. Otherwise, that was 30 minutes wasted.

end up having a human baby with a panther or something?

Hey look, someone understands about social search!
Unless there is some unknown manga I'm not aware of, Madoka was an anime original.
What?
Madoka is original show, and Shinbo is actually competent director no matter how vile his reputation now.
Oh. That's what you meant. I know Madoka is an original. I was just using Urobochi as a source rather than a manga or some pre-existing source. That was my bad sorry. Also it was a cheap shot at SHAFT.
I clarified. Sorry. My bad.
Nobody thinks Shinbo is incompetent at the actual art of directing. At least not here, I don't think.

Often, yes, I agree with you on that one. Occasionally you see a good studio heavily modify a source so as to make a better show, but how often does that really happen?
But aren't both of those being adapted by bad stu--uhh, nevermind. I feel a wrathful presence enshrouding me.
Your loss!

Well it has been a while since we've seen him actually direct.
Some say that for FMA. Not my opinion. Just saying what others think.
Just saying if someone implying SHAFT is a really bad studio, because they too busy making money with otaku pandering show but its not really surprising if they actually make good show, because Shinbo actually had talent for that.

I see no reason not to think that the new JoJo anime is more than a cheap advertising show for the new PS3 game. The PV was already super cheap looking.

Hah thanks I'll check those out.
Also when does the JoJo anime air AND WHERE IS THE FREAKING OT FOR THIS SERIES?!?!?!
Mr. Shinbō doesn't even 'directs' much of the time nowadays, he has the team for that... he is more like an instructor (and is the supervisor).
Hm...
Granted, none of them were particularly bad source materials but the adaptation did elevate them.

Oct 6, I think someone is making an ot for that.
Duckroll.
Its by entirely different producer tho, the anime is by Warner and the game is by Bandai (n they had hand on anime industry too)
I'm actually more happy if that's the case, because Bandai maybe will chose other studio than David Pro.
Considering how bad his student like Oonuma Shin and other directing for their own.. well, I rather to not downplaying him.

Wasnt someone making an SAO OT for this season?
Not much!
This is another better choice than SAO. That article is just baffling.
She's my choice for best girl before the show starts.
Cant wait to watch this. I love unsettling shows and creepy settings. Sounds like my kind of show! Especially intrigued by usage of colors and visuals.
Oh yes. I've somehow been featured on it before.
Shaft is not and never was a bad studio talentwise. They might waste a lot of money and have poor management, but the end product usually ends up pretty interesting and fun. the studio makes very successful shows and thats no coincidence.
We decided not to as to maintain SAO discussion in this OT.

Is it... IS IT?!
You mean there wasn't as much to discuss since I was banned. Since I'm back... I can't guarantee everyone's safety... I mean... Have you READ my deconstruction of that review?
Yup I did.
Frankly, those kind of threads aren't going to gain traction even outside the 'Community' space of this forum, and it is depressing seeing the state of some topics because of that... like the one for tsu ri ta ma. On the other hand, all those good impressions lost on the 'frenziness' of posts generated in here is sad as well. Not entirely sure what is better...
I think it depends on the franchise. Fate/Zero had a good thread and I think PP will have one too. New World's thread I have a feeling will bomb
Fate/Zero was also a good anime and had an established base due to Fate/Stay Night, etc.
And the first license of the weekend is here: Sentai has licensed Medaka Box Abnormal.
Not terribly surprising, seeing as they already have the first season.

True, maybe a quota of threads based on popularity should be imposed, or something...
Perhaps. But then again, I think that could easily be abused.
