Old novel/live action show getting an anime movie adaptation.

hmm...a little interested *google time*

Mitamura Yuka (Hiroko Yakushimaru) is a normal shy middle school student that has psychic powers. When a new student with similar powers begins to show his skills, by stealing the student government election, Yuka and her friends vow to stop him. The election has uncovered something which will put Yuka's powers to the ultimate test!

More interested. That could be pretty cool!

Started watching Highschool of the Dead. The first episode was fun as fuck, great animation, and I love the opening song. Don't expect much really, but I'm guessing it'll keep me entertained for the entire run.

What was the AnimeGAF consensus on this show anyway?

I'm one of the people who thought it was FUCKING GREAT.
Plot is very standard and actually not going anywhere, plus fanservice may be a bother to some, but for the rest it's just mindless entertainment at its best. The same kind of entertainment as, say, Sengoku Basara.

In a word : fun, fun, fun. Enjoy the ride and don't think to hard about it. If at all.

Not much to see, but the site is now open: http://www.neragaku.com/

Meh. I was expecting some art stills.

I'm really sorry I disappointed you. Will you ever forgive me?

Ive had that anime on my to buy wish list on amazon for at least a year now, it takes forever to come down under 40$, it looked fun enough to buy without watching a gram of an episode beyond that one gif.

I've just discovered that one of the live action adaptations was directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, director of the absolutely batshit insane cult film House. There's a short blog piece on the film here which makes it sounds a bit silly (spoilers, obviously).

I'll be interested to see what Ryosuke Nakamura makes of the source material tonally.

 

[Femmeworth]

It's great because it's fucking terrible.

I have a horrible fascination with it. It's well-made badness.

I just... I don't know. I really like zombies and I really like fanservice. And I recognise that this is pretty horrific at being a good story, but goddamn if it's not really great at being about zombies and fanservice.

Must be for kids because it's about kids, not fappable enough, etc. Not saying that there aren't valid reasons not to like it, I'm just trying to think of the most likely reasons not to like it.

Not fappable enough? I'm sure there are doujinshi out there that prove that wrong.

 

[Dresden]

Nothin' wrong with good fanservice

According to raito-kun on twitter, Nakamura has been working on this movie for quite a while and he is also writing the script. Apparently Tetsuro Araki was supposed to be joining the project as a unit director as well after Guilty Crown wrapped up.

You can only dislike fanservice if you watch anime with your parents.

Fanservice ran over my dog.

Rise above the hate. Fanservice just happened to be drunk at the time.

Isn't 95% of all anime enough?

Fanservice is just another word for blue balls.

Let me rephrase my post

Oh. That'd be interesting in so many ways.

Apart from Fairy Tail, it would be shocking how they would incorporate that into the long running adaptations.

Why Queen's Blade? We know Agent Aika has the best kind of fanservice.

Imagine if Nami's and Robin's boobs bounced.

But "Hands-on yuri fanservice" helped set up the funeral, right?

Fairy Tail needs it badly. Come on Mashima, give in to your temptations.

Gintama is fanservice now? Put your bonnet back on and go back to hunting witches.

Sorry, I don't get the avatar quote. Can you explain it with an NBC sitcom gif?

You don't have to watch a series to read doujinshi.

Interesting, they both worked on a number of Madhouse titles at the same time.

It's like you're not even trying. -_-

 

[Regulus Tera]

How is it compared to Giant Killing? Bloody loved it and if this one is half as good, consider me a fan.

It's more similar to Captain Tsubasa than Giant Killing.

Also, Doremi > Sakura.

GET OUT

Are you a tsundere for me or fanservice?

Giant Killing was all about the tactics and the overall team dynamics with the manager as the focal point. GeK! and CT follow the player's point of view.

Where is the fun in watching strange characters get busy? I want to see some characters I've grown up with get down with each other, just like they always should have.

It's better than Giant Killing by virtue of having Kobayashi!

To be serious, the sports cliches are at least a bit more interesting than the ones in GK. They're still there, because sports are zzzz, but it's not "rookie, soon to retire veteran, vain star player" and so on.

Well, I meant a guy wouldn't be allowed in "Femmeworth's Yuri Adventures"!

That's kind of a straw man CCS art. I'm sure there are better pics to choose.

No, he means that adding Queen's Blade level of fanservice to Fairy Tail won't be out of the ordinary considering the similar settings and Mashima's habit of constant fanservice.

NO.

At least CCS' opening doesn't make you want to rip your ears out.

English opening was better.
