It's not the only one of those DEEN is doing this season! (However, it is the only good one.)

It has. There are even 2 of them this season >_>

I don't do you, but could you provide some examples?
That cover is incredible.
We're definitely just going to have to agree to disagree, my friend. I don't consider Gintama and Ano Natsu to have the same intents, nor do I feel that they accomplish those intents equally.

You and Branduil agreeing about this is surely a sign of the apocalypse.
Deen rises, Gainax falls

Gainax don't make good shows unless they have good staff though.

I'm still trying to decipher what the heck is going on with the perspective in this image. It's like someone understands the concept of a wide angle lens, but not the execution.

I agree about the main character's design. That fuckin cat ear hair.
But yeah, I'm still a decently sized fan of the manga. It's not amazing or anything though, but enough for me to watch the anime until the end.

Putting it as broadly as possible, they both try to produce interesting television content that is watchable for a consistent amount of time. Certainly, as far as I know, it's why the Gintama adapters don't just reproduce the manga material on screen. My understanding is that they changed the order of serious arcs in this second season, if not the ebb and flow of the comedy arcs/episodes as well. Making that work is in itself part of the craft. Gintama happens to do that within the shounen context while Ano Natsu does that within the romcom context.
Deen rises, Gainax falls

Did moving into the off topic community cause it? First jex,now this.
Yup, especially if the first episode really does improve over the manga, I can see this being quite good, since it's only in the most recent chapters that I've felt the quality of the manga has really declined.

I don't know, sometimes I think there's a life lesson to be learned here.
You have to be good at something to produce a good result!
Has someone told firehawk that nano.RIPE does the Sankarea OP yet?

Shounen gag-manga context, which is a context drastically different than that of a 12 ep romcom's. Totally different, in intents and audience allowances. Definitely don't agree with the broad swipes there.
Glorious, I'm now motivated to watch this show.
I don't see how this episode of Medaka sells the narrative that Gainax is dead. Its a straight adaptation of the manga. Good direction, good music, good voice acting and a good adaptation so far. I mean its not like the 'good' Gainax never did a shit series. I mean between Abenboshi and Lagann they had no breakthrough hits. Then another three years until Panty and Stocking.

I do have to say manga knowledge made this way more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise. Themes introduced here carry over until the current storylines including several throwaway lines becoming central to later arcs. Character traits introduced here are showcased later on with great impact. I think people are going to come back later on to the first episode and change their mind about it. Of course it might not click yet, but its the first episode in a likely 50+ episode series. I think you're better off reading the manga in a week and enjoying the adaptation rather than taking it in weekly doses for a year.

If you can't even compare television shows to each other, then all we have are ill-defined genres that loosely connect various texts together. A world defined by TVTropes!
Hahaha, amazing.
Edit: I'm laughing at the fact that you watched this and then went to this much effort to examine it!
Bunch of necrophiles in here.
The necrophiles are the ones who still like Gainax
because GAINAX is DEAD get it?
I've jumped ship from Gainax fandom. It's all about STUDIO TRIGGER.

I'm not watching Sankarea!
Wait, someone said nano.RIPE did the OP?
The fans should jump ship, all of their talent has.
Fate/zero Drama CD 1
This was a short set of six tracks (roughly 35 minutes in total) about Kiritsugus and Irisviels first days together.
God damn that was incredible; I'm still affected by the last track. Rikiya Koyama and Sayaka Ohara absolutely owned their roles here, especially the latter.

I've only listened to the first 4 tracks so far. It's pretty good stuff.
While I'm at it, the ED of Sankarea is from Annabel, who also did the wonderful Another ED.

Stop making me want to watch a show about a moe zombie girlfriend!: |
Please, you've watched plenty of worse stuff in just the last few days.
Everything about that shot bothered me, from perspective to the way the characters look to positioning.
I'm not that hard to please, I mean, I can enjoy tit's blade, but stuff has to, at least, look somewhat good.
Quote goes well with avatar. Makes me imagine all sorts of funny things.
Definitely listen to the last two as soon as you get the chance. They're amazing.
Especially if she's talking to my avatar.
Ok. The manga is pretty awful. Its moe with zombies and cliche and boring.
Now I'm motivated again.
If SHAFT sent their staff over it would look terrible. SHAFT is terrible.
Well, apparently the director has worked at SHAFT under a different name. However, the first episode of Sankarea is better-animated than any recent SHAFT anime I can remember.
I don't understand it. I can't understand it. I can only accept the truth, that somehow an anime episode made with the combined powers of DEEN and SHAFT looks better than anything they make on their own.
