Yeah RIP. Disney's executives have been crying for years that the tastes of audiences have changed and that everyone really wants CG.

The Bushiroad anime special airing on 12/31 will be released on BD on 3/26 next year. The disc version will include an animated epilogue which isn't in the broadcast version. It also looks like the other half of the 3 hour special (the anime is only 90 mins) is going to be a Bushiroad version of the Red and White Song Battle with their own guests. Lol.

I thought its a rather good selling series with great merchandise support and high manga sales. Love the series much.

Well ... I felt the same way but i came back too ! Even if i know this can happen i can't help but to come back !
I need my 5th season !
Nadeko + snake during this arc is indeed similar to kyubi + madoka ...
ONly difference from afar is that kyubi was saying "i'll need your help" and the snake seems to say " help me or else ..."
Oshino was never wrong during the entire series , why would he be wrong here ?Hanekawa , certainly had a part of responsability in this familly mess.
TWEWY is a great game but it is nothing like final fantasy ..
I'm pretty sure a large part of that movie relies on the fact that the viewer has seen the anime or read the manga. i'm sorry to say this but you've probably missed a lot of things.
WTF ... did they clone the same guy and gave the clones différent clothes ?
I... agree on the character designs bit.... they feel like they're made of clay for me that prefers more defined looks but they work well enough here anyway, I've only watched the first half of the movie yesterday, no comment on rest. I think I like the piano pieces so far more than anything, it's very very good.
What the hell you never watch something with Sadamoto design or something?
Honneamise, FLCL, Diebuster?
For Hosoda's works especially, the animation director is way more important to the final look of the film. Hosoda seems to favour a certain way of drawing as well, all of his films even before Sadamoto feature similar drawings (Takaaki Yamashita had a major involvement in most of them too, it might also be him).
I understand why someone might complain about the designs in Wolf Children. Personally I quite like their simplicity, although I wouldn't say they are among my favourite designs or anything.
errr...?? what the hell you're talking about? it's not like wolf children is all that similar to his usual style, at least not the way it's animated here. Characters don't even have finger nails here... everything is flat and wobbly to boot!~
If you ask me.
I still can see this.
From this
Never seen honneamise, but I even can see "bebop face" on Sadamoto design for Hosoda film.
Now, I even more confused Sadamoto work in all three Hosoda film, and all three have similar style.

The only part of Wolf Children I don't like is
TLDR Ame sucks
For the rest, it's a godlike movie.
the false choice of the mother, who doesn't know how to grow her children, if like wolves or like humans. In fact that's the key point of the story, as you know one child choose one path and the other chooses the other path. It seems put there as a universal message of tolerance, to respect everyone different, to respect whatever everyone wants to be. But... it feels so stupid. From what the film shows me, they aren't wolves or humans, they are always human in what it counts, the mind, they have a human conscience, with just some wolf-like instincts. It's only the body that transforms. So while Yuki's story feels interesting and heartwarming in her growth to adulthood, Ame's story (and the mother's respect for it!) makes me facepalm.
Why would anyone want to stay an animal, and have no one to talk to? It feels like the author trying to put the animal world on the same, equivalent footing as the human wolrd, which is very nice and tree-happy but it doesn't make sense if you are actually a human. At worst, it's the history of giving up, of Ame giving up on humanity because he was bad at it so he chose the easy way: to stop trying and live as an animal.

the actuall movie doesn't look like the promo art all to me, unlike his designs for Gainax works or even Summer Wars, or the girl who leapt through time imo.
Hana's a wide face in the movie. It's still pretty cute and full of emotion.
so details on hair, adding fingernails, could've helped imo for a movie that's all about character emotions into your face and lots of close ups. but whatever rest of movie looks great. It's their stylistic choice which I don't find all that appealing personally.
Yes, but do the actual shows look just like that art you posted?
Wolf Children in particular is often much less defined than the concept art there. That's a constant in Hosoda's works, I've even seen people crying QUALITY over his films (One Piece 6 in particular, probably because it deviated from the normal style)
I thought Sadamoto is one of some anime chara designer that its design on key artwork that he drawn not gonna looked too different in the actual show, its not like some design from game or LN that must reworked heavily from 2nd chara designer to could actually work as anime chara design.. its still looked different with how 2nd chara designer work with his concept, but you can still his touch.. particularly for face/head skeleton
I hope you getting my point, because trying get quick example from google image fucking sucks
Anime is dead to me.
I watched Infinite Stratos 2 the other day and I can't stomach this piss poor screenplay anymore. Whoever gets paid to write this should be fired. Before, I could have a laugh how terrible it is, but not anymore.
After Sword Art Online, there has been a void that nothing has been able to fill since then.

You're in luck then!
wow you have further convinced me, how crap of a charater designer sadamoto is, any ways, the lack of detail and shadeing is in all of hosoda movies before sadamoto worked on his movies, it just got less defined and detailed when he teamed up with him/her.
Yeah, did someone confuse Yoshiyuki Sadamoto with Toshihiro Kawamoto there?
Sword Art Online will continue next season?
Extra Edition airing on New Year's Eve iirc.

Sounds like you shouldn't be watching bad anime and then more bad anime.
You can tell it's Sadamoto, yes, but I still think the final look of a show where he only designed and wasn't AD will depend more on the AD involved. For Honneamise, the movie looks much closer to his illustrations, whereas Wolf Children looks way closer to say, Our War Game or even One Piece 6, other works where Takaaki Yamashita was AD. FLCL was very liberal with the designs, Imaishi for example overhauled every drawing in his episode.
@miladesn, I don't think WC looks significantly less detailed than Tokikake. It's not exactly the same since the ADs are different but it's overall in the same vein; characters turn blobbier in long shots and some mid shots, the silhouettes are well-defined but the characters not very detailed, and then there's the no-shading policy.

Stop watching terrible shows? I usually don't follow animegaf because you guys are too fast paced for me to keep up with when I'm not on Christmas break but I hope no one here has been recommending IS2 on the unsuspecting even as a joke~
We're doing God's work and trying to get more people to watch Yamato 2199.

It's certainly not something that participants in this thread have or would (in general) recommend.
Shit I know I messed up with something.
Dude you doing something terribly wrong if using IS as barometer.
Yeah only in FLCL and Diebuster where I can't see the similarities between the skeleton, maybe only here and there.

What happened to the Nibutani redesign??

His impressions of Girls und Panzer is what made me watch that too. I trust duckroll's reviews and impressions of shows that are airing/completed. It's just his hype of upcoming shows that's dubious.

Touch - 01~10
Hehe, who would thought that watching ace of diamond would led my brother to rewatch cross game, and then me recommending him to read Touch...and in the end both of us watching the anime version, and that it was better than I expected from something so old(I'm such a jerk), the soundtrack is so good. I want to see how my brother will react when that happens.
I hear the movies are good, any opinions animegaf?

It's called hype for a reason! There are no refunds for failed expectations! People who jump in on stuff because other people just excited for it don't get to complain when it's not what people expected.
Anyone who reads Nintendo Direct threads would also know this! ^_^

Only one season until Haikyuu!!, all the magazines give it great coverage. (Hinata resembles MIhashi to me).

Kill la Kill has made me very aware of this phenomenon, but I couldn't help but make fun of your track record anyway. I'm a pretty terrible person.
That said, it'd be only natural to blame you if Space Dandy doesn't turn out well.
It's truly the end of an era.
