True story:
i've learned here ( on Animegaf ) that every anime is a harem anime.
I guess i haven't learned everything that was there to be learnt.
I fear to ask about the rest of the cast now.

VIVA TORTURE!
VIVA TORTURE!
Well duckroll already explaining beyond my wording capability lol, adding to that I think we all know the otaku media have its very specific brand of fantasy fiction with all of its trope, with a little bit of familiarity we can know some story that feel so "anime" and such..
The tern maybe not used that much at anime discussion community, but at VN discussion the term often used to referring title that not simply romance sims but the plot already involving saving the world, fighting in ridiculous setting etc, TYPE-MOON is the pioneer at this kind of story they're not the one that introduce it, and outside of VN I think we can agree other otaku media sharing the same kind of fantasy story packing that very easy to label with one name whatever that is, but they belong in that same label, the story that rather obnoxious and making up some difficult word to be "cool thing" for the manchildren like DC/Marvel stuff at US Comic.
Awhile you can argue the context of labeling is not fair at all, but you can just see the difference from the work that more articulated and not "dumb" as subjective that is.
Yeah, there are two related uses of the "chuuni" term.
1) "Chuuni sufferers" - fans who get so caught up in fantasy settings that they imagine themselves as heroes or villains with special powers and come up with their own convoluted settings (borrowed from existing works or otherwise) to explain their imagined identities.
2) "Chuuni anime" - a loosely-defined "genre" of anime/manga/etc that stereotypically appeals to chuuni sufferers. Generally featuring such elements as: badass special powers that lend themselves to power fantasies, dark heroes or antiheroes, often convoluted magic systems, frequently gothic elements such as vampires, lots and lots of "cool-sounding" terminology (often using gratuitous English, or alternatively German etc).
OreImo provides excellent examples of both - Kuroneko is basically your stereotypical example of a chuuni sufferer, and her favourite series Maschera is a stereotypical example of a chuuni anime. Traditionally "chuuni anime" would refer to type 2; it's only in recent years that chuunibyou sufferers have become popular as an actual character type, making it ambiguous whether "chuuni anime" should refer to anime for chuunis or anime about chuunis.

Wait, you mean Chunni isn't about the art style?
Art style's an important part of most chuuni stuff. After all, you gotta look "cool" too.
Maybe it'll all be clearer if we describe it as Teens On Deviantart? Or Sonic The Hedgehog fans?

They also introduced what I presume is best girl until further notice.
Oh yeah. The music in this is pretty fucking rad too.

That 8th grade naming style
Its pretty much the staple of it lol
edgy as shit power
dramatic speech and pose

There's a reason that Jun Fukuyama does his Lelouch voice when he's playing Yuuta pretending to be the Dark Flame Master.

What about amnesiac protagonists? Surely they must count as Chuuni, with the way their stories usually go.
Protag: HELLO. I DO NOT KNOW WHO I AM. BUT EVERYONE SAYS BAD THINGS ABOUT ME FOR SOME REASON. SURELY I MUST NOT BE THE SUPER EVIL THING THAT KEEPS GETTING MENTIONED AROUND THESE HERE PARTS.

Soul Eater NOT! 6
I don't understaaaaaaaaand how the arrrrrrrt is so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad in this fucking show
Let's not even talk about the 'moeblob' artstyle which sacrifice's Soul Eater's sense of style and coolness in search of cuteness and can't even manage that most of the time. The show looks okay in shots where they spent time/money, but moment to moment it's really kind of terrible all up. Christ. From Soul Eater, visually, to this drek. Ugh.
The direction and writing is... okay enough, but the art just destroys so much of it. Actually, as exposition on the basic manga chapters, I think the anime does quite well. But christ, if this had as much care and attention as Soul Eater had it could really be quite something.
I hope they're just stealing the budget for SE:Resonance.

Broken perspectives.
Terrible, basic animation allied to broken anatomy
:wonzo faces everywhere.

Fuuuuuuck
ES. CA. FLOW. NE. DUN. DUN. DUN. DUN.
Some of the best music and sound design in anime, as well as art design. I need to watch this series again.

Lemme give an illustration of how you can tell something is chuuni as fuck.
This is definitely chuuni:
But even without any art, this is chuuni as fuck too:
Is it Chuuni when a 30 years old married man with a 1 year old baby still watches Naruto and believes it's the best thing ever?
I knew a case in my old work...
edit: oh yeah, it reminds me of..

Major update on the official site. They're going to start promoting this with the end of Unicorn. The final Unicorn chapter will have a 90sec trailer attached to the screenings. Lol. Sunrise isn't wasting any time.
The staff listing is.... erm.... interesting.
Chief Director: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Origin manga author)
Director: Takashi Imanishi (Sunrise CG producer)
Character Design: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Tsukasa Kotobuki
Script: Katsuyuki Sumisawa
Unit Directors: Kiyoshi Egami (directed some Yamato 2199 episodes), Ichiro Itano (only seems to direct CG stuff these days)
Chief Animation Director: Hiroyuki Nishimura (Little Battles Experience)
Chief Mechanical Animation Director: Takuya Suzuki (Valvrave)
Music: Takayuki Hattori (Slayers, Code:Breaker)
Yeah, I think all the mecha action are likely to be full CG for this one. If you're expecting 2D mecha animation and stuff like Unicorn, abandon all hope now.

Hehe
There are ways to say something like this without sounding like an asshole. I liked her until that happened.
The source material is great. The story should be interesting. The direction will probably be good. But don't expect it to have tons of awesome 2D mecha battles. It'll be CG for all the mecha stuff like Valvrave and Yamato 2199. I think it'll still be a good production, but keep you expectations on the animation in check.

Lots of pics for The Origin there.
2D:
CG:
The CG stuff looks really wacky. Thick lines, lots of details, really strange shading. Need to see it in motion... but... the screens are kinda yikes.

I have to say that episode 6 of Ping Pong was really amazing. I'm really in the mood for a Christmas celebration right now.
Does anyone know the name of the song Kong sings?

So I've never really delved into Gundam. All I know is from my school days is that Trowa is a character and his hair was the hottest thing around. I watched parts of it in passing but it never grabbed me so I never went further with it.
The premise for Gundam Build Fighters sounds pretty awesome though, and I was wondering if it's easy for anyone to get into and enjoy. Obviously it would help to be familiar with Gundam models, but is previous Gundam series knowledge a big prerequisite to watch?

Thanks for the confirmation, that was probably what i was probably planning on doing.
i'm kinda ok with this
Not required but it helps..you'll miss some in-universe gundam jokes but aside from that it's damn enjoyable

Not really. It makes you understand the references but the story stands well enough on it's own.

That looks disgusting. Sunrise, why?
They making two other 2Ds mecha animu?
Because specials are special and they say "fuck you, scheduling".
Akuma no Riddle Episode 7:
Okay, this was actually one of the better episodes of this series, that isn't saying much, but lowered expectations and all that.

Indeed it took us a long time to actually get a Riddler styled assassin, with a little bit of Jigsaw and The Highlander spruced in thee for good measure. Yea, some of this shit was really contrived, like that Slide trap, but that is more the nature of these kinds of villains more then anything else. Also, in a post-Sakura Trick world passing off a lesbian kiss as CPR seem to quaint.

Because i don't know what are their other 2 mecha animu projects ?
Does the new gundam build fighters counts as part of the 2 ?
