Well, thanks to Doronon, I've now seen my first giant demon penis of the season. Also saggy grandma titties being swung around like bolas.

Want (one more than the other...).
It looks like it's been delayed until the end of the month though.
I need to buy the HK version of the live action movie to have them go together because of anime OCD collector disease.

No clue... but he's the Kyubey of that show anyway.Steroyd said:
If I can't be happy no one can!A Black Falcon said:
In my defense most anime this season, and every season prior, does suck. Yesterday I watched the first episode of Sket-Dance, that was crappy, I watched about one third of We, Without Wings which was terrible and then I watched about 5 minutes of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi which really wasn't my thing either. All three of those shows legitimately suck. Now sure I didn't like Nichijou but all I said about Hanasaku Iroha was that I didn't think it was my type of show and while there's still a few shows that are promising coming up there's even more shows that are guaranteed stinkers, Maria+Holic, Dog Days, Battle-Time-Paradox-Girls-Shit this is considered a good season because there's a handful of decent shows not because the majority of the shows are good. If there's a person who likes most of the shows this season they're the one's that are fucked in the head.A Black Falcon said:What, I can't imagine why you'd say that... oh right, because you have said you dislike every single show this season, as far as I know? Right. That's probably why.
IS
No matter what it is it's still stupid, I can promise that.A Black Falcon said:
No, it's that you and, who was the other, kept still trying to rank the girl's progress despite the show proving on many occasion that you couldn't apply that logic to it.A Black Falcon said:
Lol, why?A Black Falcon said:
Last Exile
I'm just saying it was average to mediocre not great or terrible.A Black Falcon said:
But it is.A Black Falcon said:
So? And back then? The very concept of sending a four man team across their stream in some little vanship to carry such an important treaty was hilariously stupid. They could have just sat on the treaty and waited for their next battle and done it then. Then they could have also have a good reason to introduce Guild as the bad guys because Guild could have intervened back then and stopped it to keep the wars going which would then make the present story make sense.A Black Falcon said:
Lol, Alex blaming her for his fiancee's death is a solid reason? She had nothing to do with it! I don't mind personal vendettas but I'd like for them to make some damn sense. And again with Guild, they're not shown doing anything wrong until the present, when Guild didn't enforce the rules of warfare at the first battle we were shown they were surprised which implies that prior to this they were doing their job. Of course it's not necessarily fair that one side can control the surface but they did a really poor job setting the conflict up with Guild, so up to the point where Guild does start acting crazy all the years that Alex and the Princess are working together basically stems down to a misplaced personal vendetta that just happened to be ok because that side did indeed turn out to be the bad guys.A Black Falcon said:
And?A Black Falcon said:
It wasn't complexity it was a mess.A Black Falcon said:
You don't even know if the ship they'd been fighting for took them to a new planet or just terraformed a nice spot on their current planet.
More Gonzo! Why not letA Black Falcon said:
Alex live at that point? And the two kids parents?
See you just give shit too many excuses. You see a mediocre show that had a few interesting things and give everything a pass, I see a mediocre show from a mediocre studio with a few interesting things and think of what could have been.A Black Falcon said:
Lol, you still use Win ME? Lol, this puts some of your anime tastes in perspective, lol.A Black Falcon said:
Anyways, it's not even so much about knowing Windows. On linux to install my ATI drivers I just downloaded them and typed a single command to install them and they were done. For sound though, I had sound it was just choppy and shitty, so for sound I go and download the Realtek Alsa drivers and try to install them using their installer, it fails. Ok fine, probably because I'm using some other sound shit, so I remove those, still no go. So I download and install ALSA and it's dependencies and install them despite some of it already being installed which seems to work but I still have no sound. So now I retry installing the Realtek drivers which this time say they install. Oh yeah, making progress but I need to run alsaconf to choose my sound, alright, I do that and reboot. No sound, well I was pretty sure I installed alsamixer so I can unmute my channels but now it wont run, lets download and install that again, now alsaconf isn't found and alsamixer wont run? What the fuck? Reboot, now I can't even get a GUI? What the fuck is this shit? It was just a sound driver so fucking boot into a GUI anyways so I can at least look up readme's and shit.
And in a way it's funny because linux isn't hard but it also is. I'm sure I have some conflicts going on but since I don't know every fucking package Ubuntu installs by default I don't really have much of a starting point, between apt and deb packages installing things in linux is easy, it's getting rid of shit that's a royal pain in the ass, at least for a newbie like myself.

Cencroroll: Doing an film based around things that transform is a pretty good way to show off some cool animation.
That's about it.

Mazinger Z vs. Devilman: Sometimes people will say something along the lines of "show X is like a Saturday morning cartoon!". I can assure you that they have probably forgotten what a true Saturday morning cartoon looks like.
It involves odd design choices, inconsistent animation, a complete lack of narrative logic, scenes just follow on from each other, very little character work, very odd/bad cinematography and woeful editing. Although thankfully these were the days before rapid-fire editing and shaky cam.
That's about it.

Yes but thats because it shit all to do with P3 beyond a cameo from some of the characters.firehawk12 said:

To be fair it was a non sequitur and started off as a way to correlate each character's popularity with how much screen presence they got. And also, a troll on harem anime logic, but it became its own thing from there.mAcOdIn said:

There isn't any show this season that won't turn bad after 7-8 episodes. Hanasaku Iroha? Christ, did you guys see what happened to the last Ando+Okada P.A. Works show? And you expect them to keep it up for 26 episodes? Tiger & Bunny? It's Sunrise, for fucksake. Dororon Enma-kun? Brain Base shows not directed by Omori usually fall apart long before the ending. X-Men? They blew their budget in the first three episodes, clearly.

Hen Zemi TV - 01
Was curious how they were going to do a TV episode of the OVA's (could easily see the show running thin very quickly) but keeping it at a half episode length keeps the balance in check.
Wait wait I see an uncensored version of what I watched, I don't normally double dip but now I'm curious...

The only show i have a good feeling about falling apart mid-way is Tiger and bunny and maybe X-men? (still not completely convinced on that even if the second episode was gud). Yeah I'm being optimistic.
Dororon enma-kun director track record seems to say that he's really good with these type of shows, plus being a go nagai adaptation probably means it will get more crazy and over-the-top as it progresses, don't really see it falling apart tbh. (again I'm being optimistic!)
As for Hanasaku iroha while canaan ended up pretty terrible, i think it's terribleness was telegraphed from the first episode, the only good thing about that premiere was the direction and action that's it, as soon as those things went downhill the shitty writing and characterization (which were all in the first episode) started to stand out more, iroha at least has endearing characters and solid writing (without any of the silliness canaan had) to keep it going.

I'm not sure what was censored, but I downloaded the UNCENSORED version, and there wasn't really anything too questionable. No pervo material. It's just really weird and gross.

That movie was subpar even compared to the 70s show. The animation was better though, so you might get an idea of how bad the animation of the tv show was, but otherwise... Not to say that the original 70s show doesn't feel like a Saturday morning cartoon though, especially with oddities like an episode that featured a random talking crow. However, the movies generally managed to be worse, in spite of better animation - the one exception might be Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishogun, but that one is really hurt by its first few and last few minutes.
The Devilman/Mazinger movie, specifically, aside from the obvious crossover, also was a replacement for one of the Mazinger Z 70s tv anime arcs (introducing the Scrander) and it's just a really poor work compared to that story, in spite of the superior animation.
The anime had an entire continuous arc (its first one after the first few episodes, actually) devoted to showing the Mazinger's limits, in order to introduce the Scrander... In the movie, it's just a random invention introduced near the ending. In fact, almost everything there just felt "random".

Hen Zemi isn't necessarily perverted though (unlike, say, the Kampfer episode that just aired).
Hmmm. Credits for Hanasaku ep2 are up: http://visual2.ponycanyon.co.jp/hanairo/story.html
Script: Mari Okada
Storyboard: Toshiya Shinohara
Episode Director: Eiyoh Kurakawa
Animation Director: Misaki Suzuki, Asuka Kojima
We will finally get to see how horrible the show might be without Ando helming the episode! Will this be Canaan II?! Can't wait to find out! Lol.

It clearly says the page header is "Persona 4 Animation".
Seems like an open and shut case to me. Will wait for announcement to see if there's a better staff/studio assembled this time. Trinity Soul was awful.
