Oh, well, I had no interest in watching those shows, so I am not familiar with their work. Was there such a problem with those shows that it would lead to Silver Link getting a bad reputation?

It's just that their resume so far isn't particularly impressive. Some people think Baka to Test has a bit of a SHAFT feel but I don't see it. I wouldn't say that they have a particularly bad reputation, more like they just have low expectations.

Jexhius just hates any of that old 90's hair that's not Oniisama e.

It doesn't really look like '90s hair though.

I mean, I guess the shape could be consider more '80s than anything. But the coloring is really only possible with digital paint, so it sort of becomes its own unique thing.

glad no one accused me of spoiling something, hoho




I just realized Sentai Filmworks picked up Kids on the Slope(Anime Network) which means hd streaming.

Look up artwork from Galaxy Express 999 or anything by Leiji Matsumoto from that era for example. Also early Urusei Yatsura. Dat delicious green Lum hair.

I can see why some would say that, due to the quirky nature of the artstyle and direction of Bakatest. The director for Bakatest and C3 is also an ex-shaftian, so the comparisons aren't unwarranted. However, the similarities really end there.

Well Baka and Test backgrounds are often simplistic and sometimes to the point of just being polka dots or grids. Really abstract stuff that definitely look low budget and "Shaft".

lol. I've heard a couple of people both online and IRL that express that opinion. I have absolutely no idea where they're coming from though.

Well, I bought it on BLuray, but my buying habits are definitely NOT an indication of a show's quality.

Personally though, I would recommend it. Its suitably different as far as shows of this type go.

It's funny how I think Working!! is great although they do same thing also.
Click to expand...
that's probably because working had interesting characters backed up with good writing, the same of which can't be said of a certain short series that i have complete and utter contempt for
plus working had two yamadas!

Damn, I'm on pace for thirteen shows this season, not counting Hyouka since it starts way later. Need to get rid of a few soon...
Click to expand...

I've got the same problem :(

Geez, why does this season have so many semi-promising shows?

I'm inevitably going to ditch more than half of them and I'm going to be guiltily looking at my MAL list with much shame and self disgust. I'm already ashamed of my On Hold list which is just another dropped list although with shows more promising.

I can't bear the look of them lying around abandoned in the On Hold/Dropped zone. They're like crying out for salvation and I'm so cold hearted for leaving them to die...

Watching anime is suffering sometimes.

Working!! has far superior characters.

Like Yamada~

Oh Yamada. I even bought a figurine to celebrate her existence.

I've picked up and dropped Noir so many times it's not funny. Noir's so slow, the yuri undertones aren't strong enough and Bee Train really likes reusing footage. Only saving grace is the Kajiura music.

I definitely know that feel. So much to watch. But you cant watch everything at once. and theres always new stuff coming out. Its hard.
Being animu fan is suffering.

Actually, the show's plot starts rolling around episode 14. I would advise you to skip to that episode and watch from there. It gets much more interesting. The first 10 or so episodes are pretty much just missions that Mireille and Kirika go on. So basically, skip the first half of the show.
