cat girls are awesome

Watch Kobato and you will understand.

Just wait till they announce the Karyia-Route edition of Fate/Zero where his glorious triumph will be on display for all to see.

Wow, forgot about F/Z that fast?
Looks pretty good from the 3 seconds of hand picked footage! Magi is good stuff so I really hope they do a decent job.
Duckroll hype for something that's four months away. This is a bad sign.
Specifically the tiger-punching.
Anime is a cruel and harsh mistress.
I'm ready.
oh yeah animated Mor!! Fucking hyped!
I didn't know Duckroll is interested in Magi. What gives?

He's showing off now. lol
It's one of the weaknesses of F/Z that it's tied to FS/N so a lot of the things don't get fully resolved per say. Though most of the things you are confused about make sense and you probably need to re-watch when the BDs come out. I wouldn't strictly recommend watching FS/N, it's pretty badly made, has some redeeming features like some fights and some things that you could appreciate from having watched F/Z like
the contrasts of the main protagonists, being father and son.
Cosmic and Dresden got me to read the manga. It's pretty good, I've gone through 4 volumes now!

I didn't like F/Z.
This has nothing to do with duckroll hype. Magi is mangagaf's territory, so any cross posters in here will rightfully be hyping it up because it's amazing.

Perhaps that's all they've animated so far!
I suppose they'll have a campaign where they'll roll out slightly longer trailers as it comes closer to airing.

3D-Ant, The Earth's genes and Mutta's blank page ideas
were all delivered pitch perfectly.
damn that looks good. i really need to start reading this :<
Exactly. A awesome magical ride.
30 seconds of handpicked animation!

Not that it means a whole lot, but that's exactly what they did with Persona 4: The Animation.
Huhuhu~
Lies. You are only in the hype train because of the staff. (which hasn't been revealed yet but y'know it's going be awesome).

This often happens with prequels...
I'm going to really start playing the F/SN VN after I finish up F/Z tomorrow. I've had the VN awhile now but haven't really gotten around to it but now that F/Z is over I really should seriously tackle it. If anybody wants, I can make a thread about this for anyone else who's interested in playing the VN for the first time.

Well, of course. But even when it's just a trailer, which you'd obviously want to construct out your best scenes, some shows still end up looking rough.
Not that anyone in the anime business seems to know how to construct an interesting trailer anyway.

As usual I can remember very few of the character's names, but I do remember what most of them look like.
My speculation for magi voice casting so far
Ali baba - Atsushi Abe
Sinbad - Takehito Koyasu
Aladdin and Mor is a bit difficult to visualise cause I have several VAs in mind for Mor and not many VA can pull off a young boy voice.
Aladdin - Kugimiya Rie (Alphonse Eric voice), Marina Inoue.
Morigana - Eri Kitamura, Marina Inoue.
Or A1 can go for the unexpected and use new VA instead which I doubt so.

[Gunslinger Girl] - 5
I had forgotten just how impressive this series is. Everything about the production is pitch-perfect and the direction is coldly effective. To convincingly pull of such a scenario without succumbing to any of the dreaded 'anime tropes' is remarkable. So far, at least, it hasn't taken a step out of place.
This episode performs a dual-purpose role in that it tells a complete story in 22 minutes and it helps flesh out the world and characters that exist in the show. It's a very simple story of a character named Rovaldo who comes into the agency to be a handler for a new girl that they've acquired. As the agency is staffed by clinical, cold and efficient military figures you essentially know what to expect from the Rovaldo and his interactions with his trainee.
What's unusual about his arc is that Rovaldo doesn't change as a character, it's just his ability to sit idly by and witness the inhumane practices carried out by the agency diminishes over time. This explains why most of the characters in the show have similar outlooks when it comes to using the girls and a similar coldness when it comes to their job. No other kind of human being would be ale to work for the agency.
One scene in particular stands out very clearly. Rovaldo is very brash and he's quick to hit those he sees as doing something very stupid. This leads to a nasty confrontation during target practice where one single mistake nearly leads to situation where people are getting killed. There's no need for the girls to reach for their weapons - it's not like Jose is in serious danger - but that doesn't stop the situation escalating badly. This nicely underscores the result of the girls 'training' and how they don't have anyway to deal with any kind of social conflict without resorting to extreme violence. When Henrietta picks up the whole bench in one swift movement we're also reminded that these girls posses enormous physical strength and enhanced abilities, something that isn't always obvious when they're just shooting fools.
Oh, and the show looks really good as well. Nice, fluid animation, 2D cars and, gun-recoil sakuga. Firehawk would approve!

Really? I had all, but avoided this show because I was sure that'd be the case. If that ends up being the case throughout the rest of the series, I'm interested in giving it a shot.
Just avoid the second series.
Kobato ep 7
I like how unknown chracters get reduced to derp level of drawings.
I beginning to feel the effects of the plot moving very slow and it's just over half of one cour.

Maybe A-1 will troll and cast Chiaki Omigawa.
She's the tsundere Chinese princess.
