This might be close enough.

edit - oh hey even better

Did they ever make sound packs for these

Spoiler

that's the one where the girl dies at the end right? ;_;

yes, it was heartbreaking

WHAT IN THE FUCK AM I SEEING

 

[Jex]

Your have over 2,000 posts and you're still a junior. How is this possible?

Sometimes time can flow backwards...

It was a very rainy day in my room last week. Kowarekake no Orgel is an impressive doujin anime.

Damn son.... just damn. ;_;

Spoiler

Is it the rain? Or my tears? I can't tell

 

[cajunator]

That still wouldn't explain it. He's never been banned.

How long has he been posting? Isn't there some sort of time activated thing? Like 3 months of activity?

 

[wsippel]

A Shaun of the Dead reference? That's one cheap ploy to get me interested in the show. Damn it, it's working! :\

There are tons of references to various zombie movies in the first episode alone. It's obvious those responsible love their zombies.

 

[Jex]

Well it had a run

Now that, I think, we can all agree with. It happened. Once.

I guess I don't know my zombies. I saw a Chucky doll in Chihiro's cabinet and that's it, hah.

 

[cajunator]

Yeah that seems to be it. He joined in January 19th. In mid March he will be a full fledged member.

 

[Jex]

So Funimation picked up Sankarea

I guess that's something. They really dropped the ball when it comes to simulcasts, CR is leagues ahead of them.

Well, lets face it, that is kind of CR's whole business model, it's hardly surprising that they'd be the best as it.

 

[cajunator]

I can't see most simulcasts anyway.
I have to wait for them to just put it streaming on the site or else I just blind-buy the discs months from now.

 

[RurouniZel]

Mesmerizing! o_o And cute as hell too. Will watch.

 

[Jex]

It should be watched because it's a good show, not because it makes passing references to other works!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Oh, Firemind was questioning Junior status with the post amount?

From what I've heard it's time activated for 3 months. I've only been on for 2.

Mesmerizing! o_o And cute as hell too. Will watch.

Something you just got that in the mail, man?

 

[survivor]

And for zombie moe

You're already calling it a good show?

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Hell yes, I am all in.

Nope, but it will soon be mine if I have anything to say about it.

Sankarea 1

Hmmm, seems like the tone is much darker than the manga. Even during comedic portions, the rather sterile and dreary atmosphere remains. Furuya's cat expressions are less frequent and he seems to be more "serious business". Even though the dialogue is mostly word for word, it gives off a completely different feel. Just compare this:

to this


Quite the difference, right? Not really sure which one I like better to be honest.

I think it being less over the top and attempting a more poignant approach may be detrimental in the long run considering some later events, but I am interested in how this plays out and will watch it to the end regardless.

Looks like an improvement to me, but as I said earlier, I don't know if that tone will mesh with the plot at all.

 

[madp]

Yeah that seems to be it. He joined in January 19th. In mid March he will be a full fledged member.

Wha? His account must have been insta-approved like Envelope's.

Ultima, you should stop posting for a month just to play it safe. You don't want to be so close to the goal and then fuck it up permanently! Being junior is suffering.

 

[cajunator]

Mesmerizing! o_o And cute as hell too. Will watch.

I have to agree. Sankarea looks kind of interesting. and Acchi Kocchi or whatever has DEM CAT EARS.

Shit I'm going to end up watching far more than I wanted to.

 

[Branduil]

I'm okay with convincing people to watch good shows for the wrong reasons.

Yurumate3Dei 1

I expected the material to be amusing and charming coming in, but I didn't expect the direction to be this snappy and even a bit clever with transitions and the like. The OP is fun, showcasing the four main characters and their apartment with an energetic transforming robot scene. There's more effort going into this than your average short of this nature, and I'll certainly be happy to keep watching.

turns out there's two other yurumate ova's to check out!

They cover the same material, except in ugly Flash. I wouldn't bother.

Bake - bought

Oreimo re-releasE? For what? the DVD release is fine. Does this add anything? I would only re-buy it for a BR release.

[Jex]

I should point out that raito-kun's Twitter broke the news before ANN updated their database to reflect the false name.

As I haven't gone on Twitter for 24 hours I've missed all the fun.

Because it's currently OOP and unbuyable?

I think you mean April.

I wish I was at the Aniplex USA panel so I could ask them Y U NO LIEK BLUE REI?

Crunchyroll adds Tsuritama to complete the noitamina block.

YESSSSS CR have redeemed themselves with this and apollon.

Wonder what convinced them to finally release it now.

edit: wait, is Bake on DVD only?

 

[wsippel]

I guess I don't know my zombies. I saw a Chucky doll in Chihiro's cabinet and that's it, hah.

The most obvious would be the "Dusk of the Dead" poster in Chihiro's bedroom, a reference to Romero's famous "Zombie" trilogy: "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead", "Day of the Dead".

Fujikoike 1
I just... don't like Lupin. This may seem like a ridiculous thing to say, but for me the Lupin III franchise is a bit like watching a Hanna Barbera cartoon but with more perviness (or in this case nudity). Lupin himself reminds me of characters like Top Cat in their let's-get-away-with-it smugness, and the predictability of the kaitou schtick that means Zenigata's always around feels too familiar for me. I've never even made it all the way through Cagliostro!

I don't even know what you're saying anymore man.

 

[cajunator]

I just noticed that, now I have to add that to my list too. *adds*

Hell yes *BROFIST

Because it's currently OOP and unbuyable?

It is? Holy shit. I bought the set so recently it seems like. Why the fuck did it sell out so quicklY? And why does aniplex limit their releases so much? I am supporting evil and I can't stop ;_;

 

[Jarmel]

Wonder what convinced them to finally release it now.

edit: wait, is Bake on DVD only?

Supposedly Aniplex hasn't announced how they're releasing Bake. Might be DD only.

 

[Jex]

The most obvious would be the "Dusk of the Dead" poster in Chihiro's bedroom, a reference to Romero's famous "Zombie" trilogy: "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead", "Day of the Dead".

Which is even slightly less obvious than the section of the zombie film that looked like Night of the Living Dead.

*Goes back to taking nap*

 

[Branduil]

Looks like an improvement to me, but as I said earlier, I don't know if that tone will mesh with the plot at all.

It's clearly a concern. Based on comparing the first episode and first chapter, though, it looks like they weren't afraid to rewrite and invent additional scenes in order to bring the work more inline with the tone they're going for. For instance,

Spoiler

the manga begins with the cat already dead. The scene with its death, and funeral, appear to be original scenes written for the anime.

Other scenes are also rearranged or altered for better pacing, and the tone of several pivotal scenes is more somber and serious. Reading the first manga chapter doesn't give you any feeling of the melancholy and conflict within the protagonist's mind, he just appears to be a random weirdo.

This means those commentary tracks will finally be subbed. Glorious.

Yet this same poster made it all the way through Earth Girl Arjuna.

 

[madp]

That would be a troll of monumental proportions.

Spoiler

Maybe Aniplex bought XSEED.


;_____; RIP physical media of Japanese goods

 

[cajunator]

I might buy Oreimo again if they improve anything.

This sounds like a normal reprint though.

 

[survivor]

How would that work? Do they have their own service for it or they just gonna release it on PSN?

 

[Lambtron]

This is me upon reading that Aniplex will be re-releasing Oreimo DVDs. Still bummed I missed out on the LE, still holding out a glimmer of hope that we get Blu-Rays someday.

 

[wonzo]

I might by Oreimo again if they improve anything.
