First trailer for Kenji Kamiyama's new movie: Xi AVANT.

That's not a trailer, and it's not a movie. it's a 3+ minute short film for advertising DoCoMo's services. It plays before SSS 3D in cinemas. All 4 parts each about a minute long are already on the official site.

Someone should make an official thread for Iroha, it certainly deserves one and it seems like it might actually generate enough discussion to warrant one

I'll make one if no one else will.

Of any show this season it seems to be the most worthy, at least.

Oh, I see. My mistake. I just read the A KENJI KAMIYAMA FILM thing before the beginning and thought that it was a trailer.

Yeah, he's been promoting it as his new "film" for a while now. I think it's pretty sleazy honestly. Eden's DoCoMo collaboration, followed by a SSS 3D upconvert, and then a DoCoMo funded advertising "short film", followed by him opening an ad consultancy firm... I dunno. Not looking good for us. It looks more and more likely that he's interested in venturing into commercial aspects of anime production, rather than making more SAC. :(

More SAC is the best use of his time!

Tiger and Bunny is really enjoyable to me. I like the mix of CG and traditional and i always laugh at the sponsors, specially ustream.

Eden had a solid premise and worked ok. It was just the nonsensical non-ending and no closing of any plot points whatsoever that ruined it.

But it's good! Even though it's by Rumiko Takahashi! You're really not helping my backlog here. I still haven't even finished Aria the Natural. :-/

I guess I should ask what Antique Bakery is about?
Click to expand...
It's another noitanimA-ish show, so it's also only 11 episodes. And, it's about a bunch of guys who run a bakery. It's much more than that of course, but that's the one sentence summary. :lol

And yeah, I have my own backlog!

I'm not really confident of his ability in handling original material anymore. He's a good director, but maybe he should stick to adapting solid material which is up his alley, or at least teaming with a better writer to flesh out his ideas. :p

I don't understand the 11 episode thing, but I like it. Short and sweet.

You wouldn't believe the number of things I've started and stopped but still intend to go back to. Aria I feel OK about, because it's pretty standalone for the most part and it functions like a warm bath after a crap day at work for me when I do remember to watch it, lol. Nice and easy to go back to.

President Aria is sad that you don't want to see him again though!

Maybe, but it's not integral. It's just nice speculation material. =P

I would prefer it to be hand-drawn, but it really doesn't look that bad.

CG looks a few years dated, but it's not bad at all really.

There's obviously going to be other stuff happening in the story, like the Inner Circle being the string pullers, but the U-Men are the primary antagonists.

Usagi Drop and....

Edit: Oh shit, just noticed Dantilon no Shoka. Started reading the manga recently and it's actually pretty good. First arc might as well be about a crazy stalker Twilight fan.

Seems better than the last summer - Natsume S3, Kamisama dolls, No.6 & Usagi drop are definite watches for me, and will check out Blood-C, Dantalion no Shoka, Blade (if it's as good as x-men!) and Kami-sama no memo-chou.

Spring season shows that will be worth checking out:

Bones' BL noitaminA show
The Goriponmaster
Gainax's new goth-loli clothing advertisement
Natsume 3
Not Yotsuba
Noodle Saya
Sunrise's new otakubait show
 
R

Risette

A Good Citizen
Will check out Blood C, IM@S, Natsume (if I finish the previous two seasons in time), maybe Blade if it's as nice as X-Men, Dantalian no Shoka, and whatever else people I trust say might be good.

I actually have the first vol of the Kamisama no Memochou light novel somewhere around here. Oh well, another thing I bought that I won't use! JC Staff better not futz it up.

I'm probably going to check out 7 shows in Summer. But I have serious doubts as to whether I will end up following any of them. Lol.
