All this CG talk is making me sad.
I want hand drawn stuff. Dont let it die.

You're talking like stuff is still drawn on paper by hand or something.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Nomura is too busy running Kingdom Hearts into the ground and not making Versus to run an anime studio.

I thought the idea was that he was too busy making Versus to work on KHIII, hence why we've had all these offshoots.

Handheld Kingdom Hearts at that!

Shake my head.

Handheld video games are the future present of Japan.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Summoning Tinkerbell in crappy Halloween Town cosplay is never boring...never.

But he's been not making Versus or KHIII, so what is he doing?

 

[Regulus Tera]

The people who buy over-priced boxsets of anime that is drawn and coloured digitally should be the ones held responsible.

Partaking on Sakurai and Kojima's secret elixir of life.

These are some unique complaints. Anime rom-coms are generally contrived, but you haven't really specified how it's contrived. Being 'predictable' isn't really the same thing.

They had to find that special place and when they found it, drama happened.

Spoiler

Specifically, they had to prove Earth was a developed planet so that Ichika could stay, but it was all for naught in the end for the purpose of drama. Later, the MiB showed a design of an interstellar space craft, which presumably allowed Ichika to return. They lived happily ever after. The end.

 

[BluWacky]

Who handled that anyway?

Why, those paragons of excellent anime, GONZO!

 

[Steroyd]

No! Bad ahoge! Bad!!

It was strange, everything about it was rather... uneventful despite there being quite a bit of action, but I couldn't stop staring at the werewolf hair.

I don't get who you are responding too.

I buy a little of everything, even older shows. So that's not quite true.
Also "hand drawn" can still be done via computer, using tablets. thats fine. Its still the work of a human hand and not a CG model. Thats what I'm trying to say. I just dont want everything turning into 3D modeled animation. thats fine for scenes and for Pixar/Dreamworks type movie projects, but Japanese anime should remain true to its original form at least.

Your post, last page?

Lavishly animated films from Toei trying to be the "Disney of the East"?

You could go back even further than that. Anime has already gone through many changes from its "original form".

Some models in CGI films are created from handmade sculptures.

Goddamnit you guys know what I'm talking about. Stop with the semantics.
Maybe anime really is dead.

Hard to call it running it into the ground when it's only gotten better (minus Coded).

 

[cajunator]

Kingdom Hearts is "fine". It seems like Final Fantasy is what's being run into the ground.

I'm not trying to upset you. All I'm saying is that change is inevitable.

I was referring to the underwhelming performance of Kingdom Hearts 3D.

That too! Dragon Quest is next with the MMO.

anime died, and was reborn stronger than ever, like a moe saiyan.

Something I just realized... Kyoani animate the best hugs.

If she ever sprouts cat ear I honestly think I might die.

What about tentacles?

Another character did that first.

Back when Toei wasn't lazy.

Squid Girl?

Wind Waker, my love, is that you?

 

[Crash Station]

Sket Dance 52

Anyone who likes, hates, or is aware of tsunderes needs to watch this episode.

 

[Yami]

Not sure if anyone has even touched Kuroko no Basuke, but as someone who read the manga up to date in 2 days and has a love for Slam Dunk and most basketball anime/manga, this went down quite a treat. Faithful to the manga and well animated, I'd vouch for a watch.

 

[cajunator]

Squid Girl?




Wind Waker, my love, is that you?

Yes of course.

As I said before, Squid Girl will take the beach and Nyaruko will take the cities when the end times come.

 

[chickdigger802]

70% sure nyaruko will have cat ears on before the show is finished.

Reminds of samurai jack,wind waker and old disney.

Now I need to go watch this.

It's been nice knowing you guys.

Spot-on.

 

[cajunator]

Also, it seems like Nyaruko kind of has an art style similar to Denpa Onna and that other show with Meat in it.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

The Lupin OP got a more detailed version this week. It really is a Shaft production!

idk, she is like 90% lala deviluke in how she looks and how she acts and how she talks.

I miss Shaft. Come back to us next season!

I'm referring to the way her eyes look and the art in general.
She does act alot like Lala. Maybe that's why I like her so much.

Check the Media Create threads.

 

[Articalys]

Meanwhile, the latest news from the Visual Art's front:

According to Dengeki Visual Art's magazine, Takahiro Baba said he wanted to ask Kyoto Animation to produce the Little Busters! anime, but Kyoto Animation has been quite busy in producing other titles and Visual Art's could not wait for their turn to come. When the TV anime of AIR was produced, the staff of Visual Art's didn't know how to get involved in the anime production. Baba said that at that time Kyoto Animation was the only studio which could produce such a wonderful anime without the help of the original creators. However, the great advance in the production of bishoujo anime and years of experiences of Visual Art's with anime producers have convinced Baba that the production studio of the Little Busters! anime did not necessarily need to be Kyoto Animation.

That's what Studio Deen is here for this season.

I like the manga, but I haven't watched the anime yet. I'm glad to hear that it's faithful to the manga, as I didn't want to get burned on another shitty adaptation of a series I like. I should get around to watching it sometime soon.

 

[Steroyd]

Oh dear lord I never thought of this, I need to prepare for this somehow.

Oh they'll be back, IN ALL IT'S WIDE FACE GLORY!

well Deen is fine too.

 

[Mandoric]

That's the season after next.

Lets hope that shaft actually increase their animation budget for their next project and they dont let their style overwhelm everything else.

so you want Shaft to cease being Shaft?
No thanks.

 

[Mandoric]

Hidasketch has traditionally had a money ep or two a season, and they haven't been bad at all. Once the AFX abuse/impressionistic wall is broken, added budget goes into short sakuga cuts rather than making everything "average".

Think the one sequence with flying Xes, or some of the character animation in x365 ep 1 like Yuno running or pomfing down onto the bed.

 

[chickdigger802]

No thanks.

I do wonder what's the next fetish for Shaft.

I'm betting on clipping nails!

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Ha ha, the ED is considerably different and more elaborate as well.

I'm kind of worried about this show.
