I don't want to be friends with someone who hates Chiaki Omigawa. I think I should be like firehawk12 is in regards to Yuu Kobayashi but with Chiaki Omigawa.duckroll said:
Honestly, I bet he worked a little on Last Exile.Geneijin said:
It's fucking Gonzo, they probably used a different aspect ratio each couple of episodes.duckroll said:

They are fools who refuse to conform to the 16:9 master format.duckroll said:

Omigawa is this generation's Kobayashi, surely!mAcOdIn said:
Hell if I know, but the Amazon listing says 4:3.duckroll said:
I don't see why it needs to be a competition, I want there to be myriads of VAs so characters have a lot of range, I don't want everyone to sound the same. Except that Rei Kugiyami or whatever her name is that does Shana/Louise/Taiga, I wouldn't mind if she retired.firehawk12 said:
Also, interested parties can now pre-order Project A-ko on DVD through Rightstuf! 15 bucks. God I know this movie is not going to live up to my memories at all. It'll be like when I went and tried to re-watch Dominion Tank Police.

I'm not an expert in AV stuff but this could be it, perhaps?
Could be getting the clips from youtube, possibly?duckroll said:But that doesn't actually explain anything. I was just trying to imply that all the people posting gifs in this thread are -fucking lazy- and can't be assed to make them in the right aspect ratio.
Sounds really disappointing and dumb. Just means for sure I won't be checking it out.Droplet said:

It's not that she has range though. She just sounds different from all the other girls in the industry.mAcOdIn said:
Well, with the exception of the altos in the lower range... but they're a fairly rare breed as well.
I don't mean range as in she herself has range, I mean a range of people for companies to choose form. I don't want Chiaki Omigawa voicing three characters a show any more than Yuu Kobayashi, even if she could pull off three different voices. I just get tired of hearing people's voices that sound similar.firehawk12 said:
Holy shit, how could I miss that?Metroid-Squadron said:Can't wait for Makoto Shinkai's new movie. I love the animation style (particularly how light is handled) and of course Tenmon's music
Fucking fantastic trailer, it looks like a mix of Laputa (my favorite Ghibli movie) and Shinkai's previous works. I'm hyped to retarded level right now.
For those who missed it:

Well, Kobayashi's voice is auditory sex, so I suppose I'm happy she's playing bit characters in everything. But I get your point. The Mio actress is in everything and she's the same tsundere character every time (well, except for Seitokai Yakuindomo I suppose).mAcOdIn said:
Still need to finish Fractale sometime...
If you're referring to the Glass Fleet .gifs, I'm the culprit. I'll keep that in mind if you insist.duckroll said:But that doesn't actually explain anything.

You can say that after Moshidora is over.firehawk12 said:

So your streak of disliking good animes continues? Nichijou's good stuff.mAcOdIn said:
That's... wow. That scene there does hit a special level of bad, doesn't it... so many arrows, it's taking the classic "the badguys can't hit anything" and bringing it to a new, even more absurd extreme. Painful stuff. :lolGeneijin said:
Yes, it does say Semi in the ED. But descriptions put it the other way... I guess the ED's is correct though.firehawk12 said:
Humiliation? I guess so, sort of, but she's in that club by choice, she wasn't forced to be there... she agreed, and agrees, to it. And nothing happens to her, it's just a little embarrassing.
(Hanasaku Iroha) Yeah, that grandmother is pretty evil. Forcing your teenage granddaughter to work like that, really? Too bad you couldn't get her on child labor law violations or something.zeroshiki said:
Also, yeah, her hitting the other girls too is maybe even more disturbing; for them there isn't even the "child of my disowned daughter" thing going against them, it's just because she's like that.
Oh, as for the episode, it was alright, but not entirely my thing. I can see why people like it, but I probably won't be watching every episode.
I can kind of see the Gilmore Girls reference I guess, I watched a few episodes of that here and there, particularly in the earlier seasons. There are some similarities, aren't there... but this girl's mother is definitely more irresponsible than the mother in Gilmore Girls, she didn't send her daughter to go live with her mother like in this show, after all...
On that note...Uchip said:its closer to R because it makes me laugh when they pronounce L's in english
'really' would sound like 'rearry'
Isn't the problem with that kind of thing though that really the l's and r's sound the same, so that "just reverse the letters" thing isn't accurate because really they aren't different sounds?KuwabaraTheMan said:
Yeah, that's true. The Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind illustrated novel granted him the opportunity not only to explore different techniques and understand the medium, but to express himself in a more personal way. Here I'll link you an interesting translated analysis of this same subject by Kaoru Kumi, from her book The Age of Hayao Miyazaki:Hitokage said:

Regarding his subsequent films, that subdued sensation I remarked before reminds me of a similar opinion stated by Hideaki Anno, extracted from the Ghibli Ga Ippai Collection SPECIAL Short Shorts (ジブリがいっぱいSPECIALショートショート
liner notes, although at that time Mr. Anno was certainly a much more aggressive and bold filmmaker:http://keyframe.cjas.org/~mneideng/trans/misc/annoghib.txtHideaki Anno said:
I could probably list arguments for both sides... except when it comes to the first broadcast episode. That's a (great) first episode, and it makes no sense to change that.Jexhius said:
... And yet, they did, in the end (when they aired the new episodes and released the Blu-ray box). Shame.
Finally got around to watching Summer wars - i liked it, the visuals and direction were incredibly strong as expected from hosada, but sadly i felt the film suffered from having a rather silly plot, and some of the more anime scenes in the film were kinda cringe-worthy to say the least, that said i really loved the family dynamic, and how it nailed the feel of a large family, and being from a large family myself i really related to it in a good way, the characters also had a nice charm to them. It almost makes me wish they ditched the overambitious sci-fic element and focused sorely on the characters, which was genuinely well-done for one.
But yeah overall - this is a good example of a well-made film held back by it's script. It kind of bums me out that his next film is going have the same writer behind it.:lol

Is this one of those creepy online romances I've heard about? I'm betting you're like 24 years old and I-D is like 14. That's statutory rape in all 50 states, don't you know?

Level-E Troll Ending: Ah, good stuff. Ending the series on a strong note allows the viewer to overlook those couple of episodes that where a little sub-par.
Also, can Iborrow steal your banner for my Kaiji thread, InfiniteNine?
I started to make my own and then realised there was only one piece of official art for the whole show, which you had already used!
I will also make an Iroha thread if and only if the second and third episodes don't suck. There's no point knocking one up now for a great pilot, because so many shows fall apart after that point. Plus, by that point, the pilot will be available on Crunchyroll for all the plebs to check out.

Just because my posting style changed dramatically after that means nothing! Are you really that jealous?Hitokage said:
Go for it!Jexhius said:

Yeah the start had a really nice feel to it, but it started going into a more typical route after wards, kinda disappointed me.
Speaking of which The Girl who leapt through time starts off amazing in the first half and loses steam when it starts going for the typical melodrama route, it didn't bother me as much as it did in summer wars though.
