lol, well I see people disagree with me. Murano is much better at least.

Glad to hear, I was doubting at this point how I missed some flaws when I read the manga, as I remembered it a bit better than the anime.

What's the critical moment? Write it in a spoiler.

well maybe not "critical" but

Spoiler

she says she likes "wild guys" and that's what she saw in Shinichi's eyes. better than in the anime where she just starts following him because he's like "interesting" or whatever. I don't think it's explained very well.

Nozaki confirmed to be traitorous scum.

How could he leave poor Waka out to dry like that?

Doesn't he know that bros come before anything else?

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - 01

Pretty good start. I hope this has a rich universe, a la mass effect or star wars/trek. These enemy alien seem to have similar vehicle architecture to humans.. in before they're just different colored humans.
I like the concept of humanity having to seek shelter underground. Taking that jet fighter from the hangar might not have been the brightest idea, but muh revenge!
Okita looks pretty bad ass. Also dem nurses. It feels like an adventure is about to begin, heres hoping it will be grand.

Yuki Yuna Is A Hero 7

They really brought a wheelchair into the hot spring? lol. Also continue to sexualize the girl that cant use her legs. Nice. /s

That wheelchair actually exist in real life for this usage.
It was a well placed product placement it seems

That guy is about the dumbest guy you can find on anime twitter, tries to get attention by copying anything that gets you a RT. I'm pretty sure you can get some sort of infection by RTing

All i see is those wixoss chibi pictures on the left.

Speaking of chibi ....
trigre-kun & the vanadichuuu
Trully the best thing this adaptation has done.
Those little skits were funny , on character and just the right lenght.
I hope that the blu-ray will fix the background of the original anime so i can buy it without too much regrets.

Damn. Undoubtedly one of the best anime ever made.

So much better than the Myanimelist website

 

[kiunchbb]

90 minutes? That's... way more than I thought they would add. Wonder what extra scenes they'll include?

More cooking.

 

[Clov]

I'm glad this thread reminded me that Wonder existed. Just finished watching it, and well... it's wonderful! The animation is so fluid, and the soundtrack is lovely! Gives everything a very lighthearted feeling. I love how colorful everything is, and how creative the transitions are. I also loved how everything sped up towards the end of the short, becoming more hectic. It's just pure psychedelic fun! To me, it's works like this that show the full potential of animation. It's a work of pure imagination from the director, and it's an absolute joy to watch.

Hope you had a good Christmas animegaf

Unfortunately not.

I just don't understand how this argument works. How long does an anime need to be before it can have any 'narrative' or 'thematic' weight? 8 minutes? 11 minutes? What's the magic number? Don't you realise how ridiculous this line of reasoning is?

You know, I think if a painting isn't big enough they shouldn't put it in a museum. If a painting is too small, it can't really have any theme or artistic value at all.

angels egg = less art&#8482; than star wars ep 3 cus length

Trying to catch up with the thread and reading this reminds me of earlier where someone was saying that Makoto Shinkai was a pretentious hack because his movies had detailed visuals but more simplistic themed stories to go with them. It essentially came across that only movies with complex narratives were allowed to have complex visuals and simplistic stories should have simplistic visuals otherwise you're work is pretentious.

If it ends up being K-ON! mach 2 like the trailer makes it look, should be good! Nice to see an obscure instrument like the euphonium take the spotlight. Also nice seeing female low brass players represented; they're rather uncommon in my experience.

Hoping Euphonium and Trumpet girl get the most screen time.

Isn't he the teacher or something?

 

[bryanee]

The anime adapted the light novels .
what was adapted were book 1 & 2.

We have 6 times more content ready to be animated if someone wants too.
this kinda explain why most of the plots points about ente isla are glossed over or not solved for this 13 eps.

the anime has no fillers and doesnt go an original ending 90% of those were in the books

Thank you for that. Good to know. I hope we get another season.

World/Galaxy building was good. I like the animation and artstyle. Can't say I'm a fan of the crass humour. Is it like this throughout?

No, there's like a dozen eps that stray away from the comedy instead opting for some heartfelt stories, some solo character exploration, or just a showcase of individual creators.

I didn't know Makoto Shinkai did key art for KyoAni now.

 

[Articalys]

Asking this in the middle of the start of Comiket is probably tantamount to asking for it to be completely ignored, but anyway: would anybody be interested in a sort of "Best of Fall 2014 Season Technical Awards" voting? Just for this thread. Stuff like Best Art Direction, Best Sound Direction, Best Animation, Best Soundtrack, Best Backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, I wonder about that.

Given the difficulty involved in quantifying many of these it's hard to see a "Best" kind of thing working very well. I would be interested in seeing people cite examples of excellent technical elements of shows throughout the year though.

I don't really feel I'm qualified to do much of that. Maybe best visual presentation, best opening/close, best song, best soundtrack, best actor.

But things like direction in animation I have trouble with. Am I looking at best direction of the actors? Or art direction?

Cool. I'll give it a few more episodes to let the narrative tone develop.

Well, it's been a long time since I set foot in here.

More to the point, at Dakkumauji's and another friend's behest I started Season 2 of Free. (I stopped midway through the first one because I hated the central plot).

Free! S2e1.

While it's still a smidge too serious for my taste, the conflict this time doesn't feel nearly as forced, and Rin seems like less of an insufferable putz.
Nagisa, Rei and Makoto don't seem to get much of any focus, though. I hope that isn't indicative of their role in the rest of the season.
