My hate for TWGOK stems from the slow as molasses pacing, unfunny side episodes between each girl arc and the fact that Keima just comes off as an unlikable shut-in to me.

Elsee is damn cute, but that's just not enough to justify the rest.

And is Midori no Hibi the one with the dude with a girl for a right hand? Show was funny at times albeit quite forgettable.

Nuh-uh, everyone knows him for the Soredemo OP.

Sure, if by everyone you mean 7th.

Dude, chill. It's just a comic book.

Funny that he's Omega Level but no one really cares lol.

I think it took me like 10 episodes for me to not completely hate this opening.

Why Index season 2 is still difficult to watch.

Fuck you Index.

 

[hellclerk]

No I don't think it's about an immature fantasy either (although it does explore something which is a fantasy for some). It's basically just a classic tale of forbidden love that happens to revolve around incest.

Well, classical forbidden love tends to be something that gets promoted by the narrative, that the love prevails or their tragic death was unjust. See Romeo and Juliet or Brokeback Mountain. There are some elements of classical love, but the fetishization of a naturally occurring taboo that society neither wants to promote nor be presented in a particularly positive light I feel is ultimately the result of immature fantasy, ala that creepy glasses guy. He's a reflection of where this fantasy springs. It's still a mature, balanced, and realistic look at the issue, and it does have elements of forbidden love narratives, it's just the source material, the fantasy of those who ill understand the concept of sibling relationships, that's immature.

 

[trejo]

Not me! I don't even know what that is. I'm sure it's perverted, though.

It has maids so it must be!

 

[Jex]

Well, it doesn't feature under-age girls being raped, so it's kind of a step up.

Sire, your taste sucks.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Fortunately, that one didn't skip all over the place and was actually comprehensible, unlike the PV for Dororon Enma-kun.

Unfortunately, Sacred Seven itself looks kinda ass.

Not me! I don't even know what that is. I'm sure it's perverted, though.

A classy opening for classy people. One of the better SHAFTO shows.

I liked the ED more, to be honest. Yes, even with you-know-who's voice and all.

I still prefer the opening, but the ED ain't bad. Even with you-know-who's presence mucking up the composition.

It's as classy as you can get.

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing--watching Infinite Cockblock in public--people are tossing odd looks at me--but it's my laptop, you curs.

SO DEEP.

Sushio worked on the X-Men opening animation. I bet 7th is excited now!

I was already secretly looking forward to it, you know;

He also directed the second Valkyria Chronicles OP and the amazing Girl's High ED.

 

[Jex]

Well, you're right, Jexhius, there's no pedo rape to be had. Cute OP, though I'd like it a bit better if the editing weren't so spastic.

Well of course, it works a bit better with the original music.

Her voice is the best

I think SoreMachi is my favorite SHAFT show next to SZS.

But the presence of maids gives me the gut feeling that it wouldn't be any good at all.

The maid thing is deceiving sorta. It's really not a "maid show" imo. Well it is kinda, but the non-shitty sort.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Well of course, it works a bit better with the original music.

Damn, they even have the Kite eyes.

Indeed, especially in the latter.

 

[Dresden]

This last episode is really, really bad.

It's just really fucking bad.

e: and I'm done! I'm done!

Just Index II left tonight.

 

[Cwarrior]

You sicko.

So what’s Yellow star? And why did it get worst response then kite

kite eyes are weird, maybe its cause there big,colorful and don't move at all.

 

[Infinite Justice]

its H-anime, don't bother.

Nuh-uh, everyone knows him for the Soredemo OP.

Didn't even realize that he did this. I love this OP.

This works for Kite too.

It has nothing to do with maids, poko!

 

[Hellsing321]

They're maids in the sense that they work at a maid cafe but don't really act like maids to their patrons. And its more about what they do outside of the cafe anyway.

This is the best description for this imo lol

 

[Cwarrior]

the company that made kite is green bunny (hentai company), now it makes sense why the anime had weird fluid tongue animation compared to the rest of the movie's animation.

They blew the budget on that tongue

To quote wikipedia -

Ayana's mother remarries a famous detective, who had been following the distribution of an illegal drug, called "yellow star", which is a mild hallucinogen, paralyzing agent, and aphrodisiac. As the story continues, it becomes apparent that the detective is buying a steady supply of the illegal drug so he can sexually abuse his stepdaughter. The abuse escalates to gang rape involving her, her stepfather, and two of the drug manufacturers. After the incident, Ayana kills her stepfather and returns to a normal life with her boyfriend, Kohei. In the final scene, Ayana waits in a park for her boyfriend but is abducted before they can meet. The two men who kidnapped her are soon revealed to be distributors of "yellow star" and force her into another round with them.

Technically he was only the character designer on that though, so can we really blame him?

Yes.

Let me guess, you came in for more Railgun and Accelerator action? Tough because that only makes up around 30% of S2.

Are you [I]really[/I] surprised? At least it was a step up from Infinite Stratos talk.

Wow I'll have to own up and say I vaguely recognise the description but totally lost on the title.

Mostly because TWGOK is a legitimately good series.

Thats more in comparision to Kite though.

The sex was passable though as you said they were basically fake

Was interesting how they tried to tied up a part of its story to the series.

Being fair its actually part of "another" series plus its H-anime so.

You guys are confusing! I guess I could try watching it, although I didn't even really like SZS so I have a feeling SHAFTO probably isn't for me. Except PMMM, but I'm saving the rest of that for when it

finishes.

Compared to something like Arakawa, Maria Holic, or SZS, it's not all that Shafty of a Shaft show. I can't exactly put a finger on something it's similar too though--almost lucky starish, in ways.

It's okay, I've built up an immunity over the years.

To be fair the anime is doing a haphazard job about doing the manga justice. :<

I've never seen it. Is it any good? I remember reading a few episode summaries, but never took the time to watch an ep.

 

[hellclerk]

Yes, yes, they were longer than they had to be. I still liked the action and intrigue despite the fifteen minutes of sex. I would like to see a live action adaptation with the sex cut to PG-13/R style scenes.

Still R Rated blood and guts through. :3

Were there really that many sex/rape scenes? Might be I'm just remembering all the crazy action scenes more.

 

[hellclerk]

There were two: The rape of the little girl which (thankfully) only lasted a minute or two (that churned my stomach it did) and then the second one between Detective Creeper and Sawa which lasted longer than I felt like sitting through and thus just skipped it.

The action was alright, I'll admit that. The fall from the bathroom was one of the more interesting use of troll physics that I've seen. But the films 'plot' was never built upon, not even once. They presented you all these semi-interesting scenes with no backing more than the hypocrite club telling them to go kill some more pedos. I wouldn't even bootleg that shit were it a feature film.

Were there really that many sex/rape scenes? Might be I'm just remembering all the crazy action scenes more.

There were definitely more than two, usually involving dude with the glasses. Random BJs and rape. etc etc with unnecessarily long amounts of time spent on said scenes.
