I actually find this comment a little odd. The original Code Geass was filled with mecha doing acrobatic roller skating nonsense and in that regard Akito is simply following in it's footsteps. It's not like the movement of the mecha of Code Geass was ever grounded like in VOTOMs. Admittedly the CG in Akito allows for even more exaggerated movement but it's well in line with what came before.

For example, consider this video (timestamps at 0:20, 0:57 and 2;43) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY8OodkBwmw

Not to mention that Akito is actually more like a return to form, after R2 battles ventured into Gundam territory... IMO

 

[survivor]

Does Arakawa Under the Bridge count?

Well it meets my criteria about it being about adults, but it's adapted from a 4koma right? Do they deal with serious problems? Or well, if it's just too crazy then that will be fine too.

Skip Beat?

Always thought this one was about high school kids in show business.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

Episodes 1-4 are really really boring. 5 is when things start to build and it keeps escalating until the end.

THE SECOND ANIMEGAF SURVEY -- ANIMEGAF THREAD ACTIVITY
(quote to see link)


Let's give this one a couple more days than the last survey, so... until around Friday, I guess. I promise to be faster with the posting the results this time around too.

 

[Novid]

get the fuck out now

you know in your heart its true. I grew out of females kissing females as a titrating gesture a while back.

Better than both of Fate/Zero's real OPs.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Re Cutie Honey 03 ENDE

Overal I had a ton of fun watching this. Should I check the older series too after this? Am I to expect a similar experience to this?

No. lol

Here are my impressions in case you wondered.

[cajunator]

So I'm nearly done with Hataraki Man, and I'm wondering, are there any more good slice of life anime about adults? Watching this and Otona Joshi made me realize I need to watch more anime like them.

I'm aware of Space Brothers, but I really have no strength to catch up on 40 episodes. I'd much rather read the manga at this point.

Its WAY worth it.

What is with School Days recently? What the hell?

The cycle begins anew.
Don't question the why's, enjoy the pandemonium.

This is so far a good season of anime imo so I am curious to see which characters are the favourite so far.

For me the top 3 are,

Female:

1.

2.

3.

Male:

1.

2.

3.

Male: who gives a shit. Maybe Maou.

Female:

1. Amy

2. Chiho

3. Kuroneko

runner up - Muromi

I don't think I'll continue School Days to be honest.
It's quite bad looking and I don't like the characters.

You aren't really getting the show. Those characters are designed to be loathed and there is a very good reason for it.

I dunno if you guys still want blindingly obvious license pickups to be posted here, like Crime Edge going to Sentai. It feels like a waste of time. Opinions?

Sentai wont stop until they own my life.
They just endeared themselves to me BIG TIME by releasing Place to Place.

 

[Branduil]

trust me, what happened last week proved to me why the truth keeps failing. Its cute to praise people who locked a whole city down when they couldn't find some dude. Its cute to kill a kid for religion. Its cute to have parents who lost there kids to be used to convince people to grab everybody elses rights. Its cute to call Japanese girls in anime Koreans after some dude who made some anti-American screed years ago over a war that was now proven to be based on a lie (and yes, my friends lost limbs etc) made a youtube video get Justin Beiber hits. Its cute to have baby boomer bastards in both west and east run roughshod over what makes a female a female and have most females say "oh its ok, I can change him". Its cute to aceept evil and forgive it.

That's why I rather deal with the darkness.

 

[Mature]

Just do it if no one hasn't already. It's easy for stuff to slip under the radar if you look away for a minute. Plus it wouldn't hurt if it sparked conversation.

I rarely find aerial battles with laser spam to be particularly interesting compared to ground combat.

 

[Theonik]

No. lol

Here are my impressions in case you wondered.

I mean I know it's not going to be nearly as lewd but other than that is it worth it? I guess I'll have to look into it anyway cause why not?
I shall read your impressions later!

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

you know in your heart its true. I grew out of females kissing females as a titrating gesture a while back.

If I wanted females kissing females I'd watch something a bit more lewd than Hidamari Sketch. Your hate is both unfounded and confusing.

 

[Mature]

I'm not a fan of lasers in general. They're not very personal. How do you have a great Itano circus with lasers?

 

[cajunator]

The most unique and fun females kissing females can be found in Simoun. Simoun is wonderful. Not wonderfully drawn mind you, but wonderful anyway.

It still carries that sexy appeal, but it also lacks that visual strike GAINAX brought into the show. Maybe you'll like it if you are more familiar with other Go Nagai shows.

Fellow Miyuki Sawashiro fans: were you aware that she voices Elizabeth in the Japanese dub of Bioshock Infinite?

[Theonik]

I am familiar with other GoNagai works and was surprised how some of it actually came through on the remake. To be honest the reason why I watched Re Cutie Honey in the first place was the GAINAX visuals so I might check it out out of interest but am unsure on whether I will like it as much.

 

[SDBurton]

That sounds right about episodes 1 and 2 that I saw, though I don't really think it was as bad as the worst of PreCure. Hell, the :SDBurton alone made up for the bad! If anything this shows what PreCure would be like if Toei wasn't making it for 10 year olds. Will watch the third one later I think.

You're my bro!

Does Fujiwara play a guitar in the studio while Sawashiro sings? And then Ken "Possibly God" Levine pops in?

I don't hate Sketch. Its just that Ume's works worked better in Magica.

 

[SDBurton]

With that way they make Mikasa seem all wholly competent, strong, and etc I bet they would really kill off all my favorite characters

We can only hope.

I'm surprised there's no option for US weaboos to play it in Japanese!

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

I don't hate Sketch. Its just that Ume's works worked better in Magica.

The cute character designs work in Madoka because they're adorable but are brought to despair. They also work in Hidamari because it's cute characters doing cute things. They don't look much different from each other so I still can't understand how one works better than another.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

That Fate/zero anime looks cool. Might check it out. Is it worthwhile bearing in mind I have exams coming soon?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

They cant sell the JPN dub as DLC?

I dunno,. Her designs pretty much work everywhere they are used. I would even argue some shows would be improved with her adorable character style.

Well maybe not that one because its too dark.

Something else cute: you may know that a Tamako Market character song album was released back in February, with songs for all six main girls (Tamako, Midori, Kanna, Shiori, Anko, and Choi). There was also a seventh song, with all the girls singing together, and for a bit of belated promotion of the CD, KyoAni went ahead and made a music video of sorts for that song, using clips from the show:

[chickdigger802]

No. Keep that wideface filth out of Type-Moon stuff.

Spoiler

Of course I'll probably still watch

The character designer for Red Garden and Kurenai is doing the character designs for Brother's Conflict. Poor Brain Base.

Brain Base is doing this one too? What would be the one thing that breaks my love for this studio.

Type Moon stuff would definitely be improved with Aoki Ume character designs.

I demand a Carnival Phantasm season with this.
