You're missing out on the worst thing since sexy toothbrushing. Good for you!

No, really, it's a show for the history books.

(didn't see this discussed here? my apologies if I just missed it)

[Monogatari series]

So it looks like the Kizumonogatari movie won't make it for 2012 after all. I'm not exactly surprised.

Shaft apparently intends to adapt the second season (Nekomonogatari (Shiro), Kabukimonogatari, Hanamonogatari, Otorimonogatari, Onimonogatari and Koimonogatari) as an "about two cours-long TV series". Two cours for six books means around four episodes per book, like they did for Tsukihi Phoenix (so they'd have to skip a bunch of banter).

They'll also be making Nekomonogatari (Kuro) before that, but since that one isn't part of the second season (and there's not enough material for a cours, I assume), they don't quite know how they'll handle it exactly (OVA? streaming?).

They didn't mention the final season, but considering it's not even out in book form yet anyway...

That seems odd, I'd assume they'd like the to stretch the material as much as possi

Upotte!! 01:

RurouniZel will not be able to comment on what he watched as about five minutes into the episode his brain forced open his cranium and jumped out. "I believe I'm going to take a holiday," it said as it trotted away. We apologize for the inconvenience, search teams have been dispatched and we hope to have RurouniZel's brain back in his head as soon as possible. We thank you for your understanding.

I only watched the first half so far.

Does that count?

You haven't gotten to the best material.

[Fate/Zero 14]

The dialogue in the episode suggests that
Kiritsugu was not 100% certain that the person he was shooting is Caster's master. Remember, no one has seen Ryuunosuke with Caster, except maybe the Assassins. It was a guess based on the way he was acting, so he went for a non-lethal first shot presumably so the bystander wouldn't die if he turned out to be wrong about it. When the monster stopped the moment Ryuunosuke was shot, Kiritsugu knew it was the right person, and went for the kill.

This actually makes it pretty disturbing if you think about it. Kiritsugu was willing to risk shooting an innocent bystander who was acting a little crazy, just to stop Caster.
You know, this is pretty interesting because in episode 1
we're told that Kiritsugu will do anything to take out target, including taking down an entire jetliner if necessary. But we learn that through someone reading a report about him to someone else - such information isn't particularly tangible. Seeing it play out here, in action, is far more effective.

Fate/Zero 14

There was some very impressive directing going on there, and I struggle to think of when I have seen CG so well used in an anime. Wow.

Sky Crawlers? Haruhi movie? Black Rock Shooter TV? There are certain people out there who kind of know what they're doing.

It's a small handful compared to the rest though.

Can't it just be glasses and tits?

Apparently the glasses one is class prez (yay) with short blonde hair (boo) and no chest at all (ugh).

There is probably a phrase in Japanese for the feeling you get when a pure fetish-bait show bypasses your fetishes.
I'm not curious enough to go looking.

I don't even know if it's for people with a gun/girl fetish. Much like the toothbrush sequence in Nisemonogatari it seeks to pull a fetish out of thin air.

10 years ago was indeed awesome, now is a lot moe-trash one after the other without any substance or original plot.

I'm pretty sure gun girls were a thing in the character-tan community, but never as an anime.
The world has changed.

Enjoyed this ep for the wacky submarine tactics. I still can't shake the feeling this would be better edited into a movie rather than spacing this out for six episodes.

I still think the heads are too big too.

I guess people have forgotten how to draw Matsumoto character designs.
