I'm gonna be honest, every time I see an avatar with a hilarious derp face, I immediately go for it.

My last one was Mega Man's face from that horrible DOS game.

Megaman iii for dos was a game i loved as a kid.

So who hates SAO more? Firehawk or Corvo?

Did firehawk like the first episodes? Cuz i think that disqualifies me.

I'll quote Eomer on this:

"Do not trust in hope. It has forsaken these lands"

Fair enough.

I guess the truth is, no matter who wins, we both lose.

Haha, true.

What use of it, if its have CG mech?

Talk about sequel, where my Shin Great Mazinger

You monster! Laevatein as cg would be the worst thing in my life.

I don't think Corvo has described the show as a prime example of why human civilzation is a failure, but correct me if I'm wrong.

No, but-

Does Corvo think it's the worst thing since child porn?


That's the bar he needs to pass.

Episode 24 title.

I'm the biggest hater of CG around, but if we get CG more akin to the stuff in MJP and Valvrave, I think I'm OK with more CG mecha. That stuff looks pretty good.

But I've never seen FMP, so I have zero clue how that would translate.

Fmp is great and you should check it out. It'd be a shame to see the sigma mechs cg, especially after the bad cg submarines from the first season. Fmp Another could do that, though.

I take it back. School Days is messing with my head right now

I feel cursed for watching it

Worst anime ever made, legitimately worse than anything else i've seen

School Days is one of the worst animes I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.

But at the same time.

School Days has one of the best endings I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

 

[DiGiKerot]

I guess that leaves the question of who the movie is for. My assumption is that, since the movie doesn't bring any of that stuff up, it just isn't really important to what the movie is about. For me anyway, the movie does stand up on its own, without really knowing anything about the "plot behind the plot".

And interestingly enough, I feel like the story with

Spoiler

the bullied girl ties in quite nicely with "the plan" inasmuch as you understand why she is so willing to blindly go along with it. I suppose there's a question of whether or not the plan actually matters, since all we know is that it kind of fails and peters out at the end, but that was fine with me.

Doubly interesting is how

Spoiler

the grandfather dying at the end is supposed to be, at least I would assume so, some momentous and revelatory event - a passing of the torch as it were - that probably makes a lot more sense to someone who knows what is going on. Again, while I wouldn't necessarily mind knowing that back story, I am perfectly fine with the film just killing him off because it gives you enough to make a connection between his death and the main character jumping into... wherever he goes.

Sudden thought - you did watch

Spoiler

the bit after the ending credits

, right? Not that is really adds much, but a hilarious number of people skipped out of the cinema when the credits started back when I saw it.

I'd probably agree with you regarding the movie having enough in it to stand on it's own if it hadn't been for some of the conversations I had with people in the couple of weeks following it's screening over here!

I'm not really sure that the movie leaving things out is any kind if basis for assuming that they don't think it's significant though - whilst I should probably be looking at the specific names involved in the production rather than the studio, it's hard for me to not notice that the actual production was done by Sunrise 8, and context less self-referentialism and subversion is very much in their wheelhouse. Like a lot of S8's TV work, I think it's intended for an audience that's in the know, but I personally don't think it's entirely exclusionary about it. I know a lot of people who disagree, though (and unfortunately for the movie, a few of them count as press).

Hrm, this is what I found about Sunrise 8 via Google:

Sunrise Studio 8:
-Established around 1995(see note 2), their first works were Chouja Raideen and Sentimental J.
-Studio 8 have worked on the Mai Hime/Otome Series, Idolmaster Xenoglossia and Sora o Kakeru Shoujo.
-Latest work is Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.
-In 2003-2004 some staff from Studio 7 and Studio 10 came over to Studio 8.
-Known as the “moe” branch of Sunrise, creating cute girls in sci-fi settings.
-Known for keeping their works quite well on schedule.

I don't know if I would describe the film as moe. lol

(I noticed PA Works, Silver Link, Shaft, and many other studios also had mentions in the credits... I guess for production assistance?)

And yeah, there's a bit of a montage during the credits where

Spoiler

bullied girl makes friends and the student council president graduates and reunites with the guy who disappeared

, and the after film tag that

Spoiler

shows the dude coming back from the future, in the same uniform that the first guy wore

...

All of which just makes the film that much more confusing because it doesn't really explain anything. But that's why I like it. lol

I have no idea what the critical reception to the film is like though, but yeah, I can imagine that it's probably reviled or despised for being "confusing" and "meandering". Haha.

 

[CorvoSol]

Hyouka 8

That movie sucked. I give it 1/10 arts. When I was watching it, I thought the "Good Luck" meant "Good luck sitting through this piece of crap." But unsurprisingly, Chitanda was grabbed. Somebody really should translate those old Encyclopedia Brown books to Japanese. She'd never be bored again.

So they want the Classics Club to figure out the culprit in the movie, since the writer for it has fallen ill before she wrote the part revealing who it is. Assuming that this girl is sick to the point where she cannot communicate (a.k.a. really fucking sick and should probably have that girl more concerned for her than she seems), that means it's up to the Classics Club to figure out who did it. Well, Oreki doesn't want to, so instead they're just going to hear others' theories and comment on them. That sounds unexciting, but Oreki will probably end up figuring it out anyway. And as much as he can annoy me with his indifference and laziness, I do get some enjoyment from seeing everybody look at him wanting him to figure something out, and him just thinking "Ah crap."

Doubly interesting is how

Spoiler

the grandfather dying at the end is supposed to be, at least I would assume so, some momentous and revelatory event - a passing of the torch as it were - that probably makes a lot more sense to someone who knows what is going on. Again, while I wouldn't necessarily mind knowing that back story, I am perfectly fine with the film just killing him off because it gives you enough to make a connection between his death and the main character jumping into... wherever he goes.

Spoiler

Kouji doesn't die, though. He's in the end credits in a wheelchair!

If BluWacky actually knows what happens in the source material, it'd be interesting to read a short summary of what happens though.

Spoiler

Uncle Kouji (the "grandpa") is the main character of the original novel, which takes place in Osaka. Kyougoku's father comes to the modern era for the same reason that Kyougoku appears here - to try and avert a disastrous future. In the original story, Kyougoku manipulates a girl, Michiru Takamizawa, by gifting her with ESP that she uses to enslave the student council at Kouji's school and enact a draconian regime where no fun is allowed (the kids at the school have been acting up due to the pressures of high school entrance exams etc. so discipline has been a recent problem).

Kouji and his next door neighbour, Kazumi, who gets weird premonitions about things being wrong, end up resisting Kyougoku's plot, ending with a confrontation in the burning remains of his "Bright Shining School", a mysterious cram school where he is setting his plans in motion. With Kyougoku's plan foiled, he returns to the future - but Michiru begs to go with him as she believes in the ideals that he has basically brainwashed her with.

So basically - the Kyougoku in this film is the son of the original Kyougoku and Michiru (hence the whole scene about how he doesn't want Kaho to come with him, because his own mother - Michiru - comes from our time and was unhappy in the future). Uncle Kouji is the original Kouji Seki, hence why he knows so much about Kyougoku.

Yuriko, the girl in the cellphone bullying incident who tries to commit suicide and then gets powers from Kyougoku, is partly the analogue of another character called Yuriko in the original book who is subject to bullying from rude messages on the blackboard. The new film combines Yuriko with aspects of Michiru - Yuriko and Michiru in the original book compete to be head of the student council, and Yuriko eventually falls into depression and tries to commit suicide through her failure and due to the bullying.

OMG. YES! Time for me to watch this! YAY!

Man, Kayos watching Nerawareta Gakuen. For once I can see a post full of questions that can't be easily answered!

The wikipedia entry is completely barren, so I had no idea it was based on a previous text or that it has been adapted several times.
And not that imdb is really worth anything, but the fact that it has a 3.9 rating kind of makes sense given how this film stands on its own as a film in the conventional sense.

This is only really an aside since I have no real great understanding of the last 30 minutes of the film but Jonathan Clements made mention that there was almost a link with TGWLTT that whenever that got remade, the story of Nera Gaku did as well.

Spoiler

As I recall, the Grandfather doesn't die. When present day psychic boy jumps, he clutches his heart which is a supposed recorded phenomenon of time travel. But for some inexplicable reason, he remains alive at the end of the series, albeit with a stick I think. This raises up more questions of why he suffers from someone else's time jump and why he remains alive afterwards.

Here's BluWacky's post which DiGiKerot kindly linked me back when I first started posting! Link.

Edit: Too slow, someone else has helped already.

Now that people are watching NeraGaku, it'd be nice if someone watched Afterschool Midnighters. Although it may be difficult finding somewhere to watch it.

 

[Horse Detective]

I actually had a question about Kyousuke.

Is he motivated to help Kirino after what she said about him not caring about her during his earlier teen years or something? As in, his entire reason for putting up with her bull shit is to makeup for being a bad brother?

Huh, so it really is like the TGWLTT movies. It actually makes me wonder if one of those books had inspired the other, actually.

But that said,

Spoiler

the book doesn't really go into what is wrong with Earth and humanity either? The plan doesn't seem all that logical in the book... at least in the film, there's the motivation of revenge on the part of the father. The first attempt to take over the school doesn't really seem to have anything to do with saving the world. lol

[DiGiKerot]

I don't know if I would describe the film as moe. lol

I don't know, I don't think it's entirely un-moe.

The thing with Sunrise 8, though, is that things like HiME and ZHiME, and especially Xenoglossia and SkyCake, are a whole mess of Sunrise references and injokes. There's some stuff in HiME that comes across as being pretty scathing commentary about Gundam SEED if you know what you're looking for, and Xenoglossia was pretty much an exercise in deliberately taking weird narrative turns at every point the show hit a familiar Sunrise story beat (it's really interesting to directly compare what is going on in that show to HiME, ZHiME, Geass and Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny in particular, both from a narrative and a meta point of view - it's subversive as hell).

The bit of Sunrise 8 DNA that's apparent in NeraGaku is less the moe side - which I do still think is present to a degree - and more the more subversive nature of some of what is being presented, albeit that it's in regards to the original fiction instead of Sunrise prior work. There's some really weird narrative curveballs in NeraGaku -

Spoiler

particularly when they go to the beach instead of having the climatic battle. Had me in stitches, that did!

I have no idea what the critical reception to the film is like though, but yeah, I can imagine that it's probably reviled or despised for being "confusing" and "meandering". Haha.

It's generally been along the lines of "The first 2/3rds are a really cute and funny SF-tinged romantic comedy, but the last third is a bed-crappingly confusing mess". I'm not even sure how much people have an issue with it being meandering, rather more that the climax didn't make a lick of sense, at least at the time.

Everyone agrees that it's beautiful, though.

I'm certainly not saying you're stupid. I was just making light of how after you seem to get a hard time asking innocuous questions, watching this film is sure to leave you with may questions which you may or may not post which people will be unable to answer for once!

Heh, yeah. This is why I feel that if the film was entirely dense and full of obfuscation, people wouldn't have a reason to be disappointed with the "plot" and would have paid attention more to the theme of the film.

In that way, NeraGaku is almost anti-TGWLTT inasmuch as its much more thematically driven than character driven.

Story was mostly standard setup again and was overall pretty boring, but I think there's some interesting and really sinister stuff going on under the surface.

How about a wish to get rid of all witches? or, you know, a good old standby of world peace? Love the fight and psychedelic imagery in the witches world, too. Real highlight of the episode

Ok, a few story observations/predictions (the fun part where the audience gets to laugh about how wrong I am)

I don't trust catbbit at all. That thing seems really really sinister. As a rule, I say don't trust anything that offers wishes. Offering wishes and massive magical power? Somethings way, way off here. I also think the explanation why the transfer girl wanted him dead is total BS. Makes no sense at all.

Blonde mentor girl's going to die, isn't she? Seems like they're really setting her up for that.

This episode begins with more Madoka waking up from a dream. More dream imagery? Betting that's going to be important somehow.

Madoka's mother is really not a great role model, is she? Seems like she's real absentee as well. Could explain why Madoka is so strange and naive.

Something's really strange about the grief seed shown at the end of the episode. It's being said it adds magical power, but it seems to suck away some darkness. I'm betting Magical Girls somehow get corrupted by witches over time and the grief seed counteracts that somehow.

If Magical Girls compete for witches, and witches are at tragedies, how long until a magical girl lets someone in a tragic situation just die so they can get an early fight in with the witch?

So far, I'm pretty interested in the show. Can't wait to see how it goes.

Sad Muk.

I can barely make up its facial features. And people argue that all 151 original Pokeymen are inherently better!
