I was discussing this kind of thing with duckroll earlier and I have to wonder if A-1 pictures pictures are stretching themselves too thin with the vast amount of projects that they're undertaking. I have to assume that their main focus at the moment is on Sword Art Online.
Who is the tan girl?
Magi - Episode 6
Best-girls finally show up in the anime! Maybe they boycotted the first episode because Yoshino was writing it.
The CG was kinda shitty in the first episode but they really do utilize it to the fullest in the later episodes. It's easily the best use of CG I've seen in a TV series in recent memory.
The recent episode's pretty good!Though if Sword Art Online is their main focus right now..... dat mediocre production values...

I'm so looking forward to hearing Kana voice this character, the Magi red head girls >>> the rest.
Staying up to watch the best show of season is totally worth it in my book.
Completely.Errr.. seriously?

Caught up with "From the New World" (Ep 7) and it still has me hooked. Thanks to this thread, I found a decent anime![]()

Am I a horrible person for saying that film is more infuriating than sad? I mean, it's the kid's fault everything afterwent to shit. He could have just stuck it out, buried his pride and done what's best for him and his sister. Instead, he just ran from his problems and causedthe horrible attacks on his townboth her and his own's deaths
See what I mean, transform into something new! And yes I agree.
Nah, that's pretty much exactly what Takahata was aiming for.
No one felt more sorry for him than anything else?I feel the exact same way.
It wasnt a depressing film, it just pissed me off.
Oh, here's the initial staff listing for Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko:
Director: Youhei Suzuki
Series Composition: Michiko Itou (Ookami-san & Her Seven Companions, RKB)
Character Designer: Haruko Iizuka (Inu x Boku, Tamayura, Little Busters)
No one felt more sorry for him than anything else?One thing is feeling you led a just life, and another is abandoning it only to be filled with regret, on those last moments.
All people do wrong and make mistakes, but leaving yourself knowing there is nothing else you can do to amend that must be one of the most excruciating realizations a person can reach.
It is easy to say (from an outside perspective) 'hey, swallow your pride!' to an adolescent that didn't know how to affront the changing world he was left in, since the beginning, but later he ended up paying for it more than anyone else.
How are Psycho Pass, K, Zetsuen no Tempest & Robotics;Notes holding up? I was looking forward to those series, and I watched the first couple episodes of PP and RN.
I've only kept up with JoJo's, Magi and bestshow, Chuunibyou so far, so I'm curious whether those shows have hit their stride (or if they don't have a stride to hit).

Of course, the anime at this point cover the very first part of JoJo.. Its have very different feel than the part that OAV cover (part 3) back then its very apparent the author still kinda confused what he want to do with the series, its finally get it going on part 2 which JoJo have its own unique identity that last until now, that why the manga fan eagerly waiting for part 2 kick in 3-4 episode from now, Its also regarded as one of the best part among 7 finished part.. For comparison Phantom Blood (the first part) considered as the worst part for most fan. Its not weird to hate it.Haven't watched any of the others other than Jojo which is honestly pretty terrible. It looks like shit and the 2 episodes I watched really doesn't have any of the charm that the old OVA had.

This might be my favourite episode of the series so far and that's saying something because pretty much every episode has been enjoyable. They clearly decided to slow down the pacing for this particular section of the story and that decision seems to have worked out well because all the characters motivations and choices were clearly fleshed out. There wasn't even any image-ruining censor shadows either!
This show is still clearly very cheap to produce and whenever they can avoid animating something, they will. Hair or clothes might blow in the wind and there's the occasional piece of movement but it's largely a series of amazing poses and 'speed line' backgrounds. One side effect of these obvious visual deficiencies is that it really got me to pay attention to the soundtrack. Throughout the course of the episode, but especially in the last few minutes, they really did a great job matching the musical score to the events that were unfolding on screen, in some cases following every change in mood that occurs throughout a scene. It really stood out in the lead up to the ED where they did the old trick of playing the start of the ED theme before the episode ended to neatly tie it all together. This isn't unusual in itself but they way it was handled here was especially good and rather than playing just a couple of notes they actually played a good 40 seconds of lead in, which is rather unusual. Just great stuff all round, especially in comparison to something like Magi which continues to disappoint from an aural standpoint.
Don't feel bad for that, I understand it. Many films aren't there to "like" them but to simply say something to the people watching them, be it unpleasant or not... and that depends on the person watching it, so some come out of it with something learned or felt and others with maybe anything completely different. I think there are many interpretations and things to take from it, and that is part of the magic! This leads me to following response I'll make:I more pissed off abouthow late he bring her sister to doctor, and he actually still can draw money
Yeah, the movie just doesn't come across well to me despite how much I want to love it because its might be the most technical standout movie that I ever watched.
I don't get the message "War's cruel" but far more outweigh to "Stupid brother" after watching... I really dislike myself for that, but its just the case.
I have conflicting feelings about that notion (of course, what he says prevails over anything else I can express), because after all Mr. Takahata was true to the novel, and that included its original, in my opinion more liberating for the viewer, ending.Actually, that's exactly the interpretation its director Isao Takahata wanted you to have of the film. In fact, he was surprised to learn that people saw it as a tearjerker.
It's pretty good.

I know you guys were talking about ICE earlier and coincidentally I was reading a masters thesis that has a whole chapter dedicated to it. "THE QUEER CYBORG AND QUEER APOCALYPSE: CONTESTING AND REINVENTING MYTHS AND THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT".
I can't say I've read it as I haven't seen the show, but I think it's amusing that such a thing exists: http://thescholarship.ecu.edu/handle/10342/2913?show=full
