This shot of Dorothy and Roger approaching the factory isn't simply an exercise in great composition, it's actually effective foreshadowing for both the true nature of 'Dorothy' and the final confrontation at the end of the episode. This huge doorway tells the audience that something on a mighty scale must have been constructed at this location and no exposition needs to be given.

Visual storytelling, who'd have guessed that such a thing would catch on?

I haven't seen the first episode in some time, but are those supposed to be rails running along the ground there?

Also I noticed at the end there was a "to be continued". That would be the first time one of these projects has implied that there would be further episodes/installments correct?
I like how we picked the same Uchip-picture. :p

And, I just assumed the "to be continued" was to imply a serial adventure that wouldn't happen. Like, it's just part of the form to have a "to be continued" at the end of a text like this one.

Maybe there are bigger plans for it though?

Amazingly enough, Firehawk was referring to Uchip's specific preferences when it comes to facial structure. That is, relatively flat and human-like without much of a muzzle.
It's crazy because she looks exactly like one of the "girls" Uchip used as one of his avatars.

I refuse to believe that shitty CG is actually Miku!

The only thing that's even really bad about it is the hip-to-chest proportions, I know some really flat girls with serious leg development and even they're nowhere near that... △?

(also I guess 8-head looks funny on cute characters even though it's not bad per se)

So it's literally indescribable? That means that either you're a bad writer or I need to add Rin to my backlog as soon as possible.

The only reason to watch Rin is to see how they can come up with more ways keep escalating the random sex and violence, all mostly
between women
. Other than that the thing is pretty much so bad it's bad.

You kind of beat me to it but that image had to be posted lol. Although I was thinking of Hito just as much as Uchip when i grabbed it :).

Anyway, you bring up a good point about the to be continued message. Still though, it is rather interesting considering previous projects actually stated "fin" or "the end". Perhaps I'm just getting my hopes up here!

Here's what I think of Medaka Box:

- Shouji Saeki is a shitty by the books director who is the most uninteresting long time staffer at Gainax

- NisiOisin is a sack of shit author who offends my very basic definition of good entertainment.

- The art looks like dogshit.
All that needs to be said about Medaka box really.
So the next show Crunchyroll has picked up for simulcasting is Sengoku Collection.

I love how Crunchy roll always pick up the trashy brain base shows; yet they never picked up Penguin Drum last summer.

Hito's a Uchip too?!

And hey, I'd love for this to spinoff into a children's cartoon or something. It's a nice alternative to either power-up shounens, precures or Folktales anyhow.

Speaking of Precure, I just watched the Suite movie and, wow, that was bad. I think Mephisto was pretty much the only entertaining thing about it.

After the opening credits finish, it really is some of the worst shit I've ever watched. After the Heartcatch movie, I can't believe that something that lazy actually made it to theaters.

That's pretty much Mnmmnmnenomsyne in a nutshell. Good smut, horribad everything else.

Nah even the smut in Mnemosyne is terrible.
Unless you really really like BDSM type stuff I guess.

I know, it's like... the whole movie just feels like absolutely no-one involved in the production gave a single damn. There's maybe three or four single cuts which are perhaps well animated, but for the most part even a TV production would have been embarrassed about the general animation quality.

I realise that the Heartcatch movie was way, way better than you could really justifiably expect from a Precure movie, but even last years AllStars DX movie was better than Suite.

Looks like its based off the Kennedy space Center entrance.

The reason I bring it up has to do with Jexhius's mention of foreshadowing. IIRC at that point in the show
it hasn't been shown how Big O is being transported around the city, given the rails on the ground, and the nature of the large building, its kind of a hint towards how Roger hides and transports the Big O robot.

I normally don't like BDSM, but any other kind of explicit content in Monomnomnomsyne would have just felt out of place considering how violent and generally fucked up everything is.

I only made it through two episodes

The artwork makes Symphogear look quite interesting. might have to watch it.
Oh, it certainly is quite interesting. For all the wrong reasons.

Mnemosyne isn't really that bad. There's some slightly painful stuff early on, but it's really a pretty optimistic, fun and positive show when all is said and done. And I'm not even kidding.

It didn't even have the plot depth of a filler episode, and where it did have "plot", it was blatantly stolen from Suite's own endgame episodes with some names switched around. As you said, the production qualities were just as bad. I know that Suite wasn't very popular, but it was shocking to see how little effort was put into the film. It's like they were contractually obligated to make it but knew it would bomb so they made the emptiest shell of a film that they could.

Well I was thinking about making an OT for Shirokuma Cafe.

Why bother when it'll just get locked for promoting bestiality?

Yes, that's fight, suggesting that large things needed to be brought across by a train-system. Quite a lot of work actually went into thinking up the background art for that shot.

Big things need big tracks and big doors is "quite a lot of work"?
 
I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet when it's obvious kids today are more impressed by CGI than hand-drawn 2D animation.

well, the 'god tier' stuff right now in terms of animation are usually just well hidden CG stuff.

And do people even have the budget and time to do god tier hand drawn stuff outside of movies?

Seriously guys. About to lose my lunch over here.

Your digestion system sucks.
