I suppose the forever alone crowd who celebrate fictional character birthdays are deviants in their own right!
Its a scale on how much cosmic hates us.
And we love it. <3
It's been an ignominious past year for noitaminA. Fractale could at first be written off as a fluke, the result of Yamakan's crazed delusions. But then the much-hyped duo of Ano Hana and [c], from two esteemed directors, turned out to be garbage, and the era of newtaminA was upon us. Ungo and No. 6 continued the pain, but no one could have anticipated the dire stink of the crown jewels of newtaminA's fetid reign, Guilty Crown and BRS TV. But even as all hope was lost, two heroes of justice return to free us from this torturous era. The crowned prince of anime, Watanabe, and his ally, Nakamura, eager to avenge his past misdeeds. They will not fail us. They cannot fail us.
noitaminA lives again!

Well,the whole lake, tree and voice recording were an entire reference to the events of Onegai Teacher, the voice being Mizuho, and the lake being the key setting of that series. The thing is that either something happened with Kei and Mizuho back in the day following what we knew (as it ended on a happy note), or this is all an alternate universe. Regardless, it confirms the connection between the 3 series, and confirms everyone's suspicions about the hints throughout the series ie. Ichika's memory implants suggesting she is a descendent of the same race, Yamano Lemon being Morino Ichigo (same exact characterization and personality, and MiB explains her being forever loli) and other things.
Point being, it was a wonderful nod to longtime fans, otherwise a nice conclusion in its own right to newcomers.
Hey icecream!
Anyway, I guess I'm confused if this is just random fanservice - like when Gintama got those Gundam voice actors to guest during that Gundam-parody episode or if this is a true tie-in.
As I said in the last thread
time-wise, it seems a bit weird because the implication is that the memory is genetic or somehow implanted into the Ichika and her sister. So, some time must have passed - even though Sensei seemed to take place in around the same time - but more importantly, Mizuho would have either have done the memory thing in between her departure and her return at the end of the series - in which case she's still on Earth or she left Earth after the tag at the end of the series, meaning that ending is suddenly not that "happy".
Maybe it's just something that you shouldn't think about too much, because then stupid science fiction junk starts getting in the way. I don't remember the original series all that much, but I can see how someone might enjoy that reference anyhow.

Little bit of both. I'll check out Tsuritama, but I expect it to be more along the lines of Trapeze and Mononoke than [C], so good chance I'll drop it quickly. Just not the kind of stuff I'm into.
That's when Shaft are at their best!
It does. I'm very wary of it.
But then again, JAZZ.

With Moyashimon S2 in the summer, hopefully noitamina is back to stay.

As far as I'm concerned, noitaminA isn't back until we get season 2 of Wandering Son.
And Usagi Drop.
At least until the ratings are as bad or worse than newtaminA's!
Moyashimon Returns this summer, I have hope
I think you may inadvertently be supporting the opposing argument.

Apollon and Legend of Korra...FUCK YEAH. Gotta wait for the English dub for Apollon though. *please get Steve Blum*
Those are gonna be some really high budget headtilts. Can't wait!

At least we're getting another season of Hidamari Sketch!
So are you helping cosmic kickstart [C] S2?
If you can keep watching past episode 1, you will be rewarded greatly. I'm biased because I love every episode of Fap/Zero though.
Needs more Tasogare.

Shouldn't they be able to link the anime girl with the real life one as well?
Yes, because it actually makes them money.
Soredemo was one of their few shows where they put some effort into consistently animating it, so I can only imagine how much money they lost when it totally bombed.
It almost feels like they've stopped doing risk-averse projects for good.
yeah, never gonna happen. FUCK

I just spent way too much time digging this up:
Onegai Teacher ep 2
Ano Natsu ep 12
Based on this, I'd say they're connected, and as previously mentioned, with all the MIB stuff, Lemon may in fact be Ichigo from Onegai. Same VA and all, naturally.

I would be perfectly content with more Soredemo.
Why the fuck wasn't it more popular
Otaku can't appreciate a SHAFT show without either excessive and tasteless fanservice or widefaces.
You can certainly expect Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade*'s beautiful headtilits.
*Italicized is Shinobu's real name.

You can always drop in to see first/early ep. impressions. Might give you an idea of which waters to test.
Then again, dat mileage dat varies. If many are praising it however, it's probably safe to at least check out.

Solution: Soredemo S2 with Ume Aoki character designs. Cash in the bank!
I would be perfectly content with more Soredemo.

Lack of pantyshots.
I'll make this my periodic appeal for everyone to watch Natsu no Arashi, the other SHAFT anime about a girl named Arashiyama that works in a maid cafe. To steal firehawk's description, it's their secret best show.

This is looking to be the most interesting season in years.
A sequel of this is hell Yeah.
Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra.

Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra, Korra.

True that. I'm most excited for Fate/Zero.
Now it's finally time to watch the last episode from Fall Season lol
Is that based on another work of the School Rumble guy? Because he dragged that series out to point I don't want to watch another adaptation of his work.

huh? when did white fox have a bad track record wtf? have seen any of there shows?
White fox is a new studio and they already have great track record for an anime studio, they've made only 3 anime so far
Steins;gate one of the best anime to come out in 2011.
Katanagatari which I have only seen two 1 hour episde and it was troll tastic mmm. and hear it gets even more trolltastic at ep3 and later on
Also Tears to Tiara there first anime about some ...errr ....erogy game....erhhh....never heard of it...
2/3 is a great track record, better then gianax who's never had a good show or jc staff who puts out nothing but garbage cash-ins or bones who refuse to work on good source material in fear they might just melt are faces off.
Animation wise they are average all round, nothing note worthy.
Yeah, it's his. I think that the Natsu no Arashi manga ended after a few volumes and the anime covers most if not all of the story, but I can't be certain. I'll admit that the second season begins to drag when multiple episodes recycle the same gag, but overall it's a decently-paced slice-of-life show.
Where's Medaka Box, yo?
I thought it over and realized that I'd never finish it anyways.

Ozma, Zetman, Medaka Box, Accel World, Naruto SD: Rock Lee Seishun Full-Power Ninden, Kuroko no Basuke are on my watch list. There are some other that i will try to watch 1-2 episodes so i can decide to continue watching them or not.
Hihi!Hey icecream!

Well, as mentioned
either something happened to Mizuho betond the scope of the original series that we don't know about, or the entire AnoNatsu is in a parallel universe where things don't turn out so rosy for our original heroes. But it certainly feels like a lot of time has passed between OT and AnoNatsu... Lemon/Ichigo's current job kinda confirms it, as well as the current state of the lake compared to the 'memory.'
And no passing love for Medaka (at least until it gets up to the manga) or Sankarea? Poor Rea, you've been forsaken and tossed aside for Deen to mutate you into a horrible on-screen abomination.
