I fucking love how the name for Free's OP is "Rage On".
Probably to purposefully avoid certain prize obligations.

Wow, woke up to news about swimming anime. I guess I wasn't really expecting anything other than more information on Kyoukai no Kanata, and at the same time all of the news (like Utsumi directing) sounds really interesting, but waifus man. ;_;
I was wondering if they had three Pony Canyon productions lined up. Apparently this is Asahi according to Ultimatemegax. I don't know why I'm so surprised at it not being Kadokawa or Pony Canyon, but I am, lol.
Oh god. I really want to watch this now.
Welp, that throws out my Kadokawa idea.

Kyoani probably gonna pull a Chuu2 where they just use the concept and characters to create their own version of Free!
Yeah it's that award.
Series Composition for Free! will be done by Masahiro Yokotani. He's doing Hataraku Maou-sama this season, and wrote some scripts for K-On!! (he did episode 13- the one with the weird dreams). Don't have much idea about him though.
Kyo-ani has the natural talent to turn almost anything into gold. Kind of strange that they have faltered lately although it wasnt the fault of their adaptations I don't think but weaker material. Unless those werent adaptations...

They have not awarded any grand prizes since the contest began, that is correct. Last year they had no honorable mentions either.

The single most noticeable thing you can do to speed things up is to get an SSD. Everything will boot up, load, and install much faster with even the worst SSD. The only downside is paying through the nose for storage space, no terabytes of cute without resorting to an external HDD.
I have an external HDD already. Im not very familiar with SSD. Is that solid state drive?
Whatever delivers Cute to me more quickly I guess.
This is important.
It was dead obvious from the start that Kyo-Ani would turn that into something. thats a lot of work for a simple PV.
I don't know about that. They have a lot of PVs which look good (although I can't say they all have Nishiya, Ishidate, and Kigami working on them). I don't think I was one of the only ones doubting that the reveal was the swimming anime either.

Yeah you got it, it's solid state drives. The samsung 840 or 840 Pro are the ones to get right now and no one expects any major prices drops on SSDs soon but you JUST missed a decent sale on these on newegg yesterday. :/
I always miss sales. A product of working all the time.
Like this for example. I NEED IT.

But Chunni sold well and a second season is coming.....
Maybe it was Tamako market then. Either way Kyo-Ani is clearly reaching for a market they typically don't bother with. Its interesting.
Chuuni didnt sell all that well though. not as much as some of their other properties.
Lol, amazing.
I've changed my mind. This is going to be great.
Edit: If this really is airing soon, it would have had to be in production/pre-production way before KyoAni was aware of the sales for Tamako Market and Chuunibyou.

You should check out all their other ones. They're all pretty glorious and I would watch shows based on any of them in a heartbeat.
Smartphone shopping and RSS feeds to deal sites would be your best friends then, well as long as you can get away with fiddling with your phone at work.

Oh hey, the song almost kind of doesn't sound like every other Ali Project song.
Thats interesting if true. So maybe it wasnt because of sales failures. I think they just wanted to do something very different.
I guess Otaku just got bored with the usual formula?
There's a reason why I buy a large variety of anime in different genres and styles.
The same old stuff every time gets old fast.
Catching up on this week's anime...
Yuyushiki - Episode 3
Fantastic episode. The best one yet. It perfectly captures the lazy, crazy, hazy hot days where friends hang out at someone's house or go to a pool during vacation days. The animation this week was really good too, with some fantastic layouts. Kinema Citrus is really knocking this out of the park. It's nice to see such effort applied on inconsequential subject matters because it just makes it more fun and endearing. <3

Episode 4
Much better than last week's episode. Lots of backstory stuff here with Rin-rin and the MJP Project, and the origin and nature of the war with the aliens. The war stuff is starting to remind me a lot of Babylon 5, and I really like it. The theme of failure to communicate and not understand each other, along with what seems like an alien princess trying to make peace with the humans.... Minbari-Human war?
Pretty interesting I think. I wonder how much time they're going to spend with the school setting now. It's hard to tell exactly where the series is headed in general, but I kinda like that feeling.
I disagree completely. Why do Shit Jpop musician still sell loads if Otakus are easily bored? It doesn't make sense.
Duckroll, Can't get into Yuyushiki. It seems boring and most of things that happens feels random for the sake of it without any rhyme nor reason.
Its probably just Kyo-Ani doing whatever they want because they have the financial ability and pull to make it happen.

It's not nearly as good or as appealing of a product as K-On.
Really? I haven't watched both *Ducks for cover* but I thought both of them were about the ''cute'' factor...
I think what you're getting at is that either Tamako Market is not pandering to an easily exploitable otaku audience or that K-On had to be more than just pandering to an easily exploitable audience to reach the sales it got.

Can not wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
I guess I was wrong.
But how do they expect people to search this show up on Google?
Very few anime's are deep enough to ask "What is water?".
This is true. K-On was more than just cute girls doing cute things. It was very friendly to a huge audience and interesting enough to keep them hooked.
Not sure if want.
On one hand the show was one joke over and over. On the other hand XIAOMEI.
tired joke....Xiaomei.......FUCK.

Because K-ON! is actually good while Tamako Market is only superficially like it.

... wat?
I was asking question about the sales of Tomako Market since K-on was so successful and it had similar hooks. Cajun made the point maybe Otakus were bored, which confused me, because I rarely see an Otaku being bored of his hobbie if the hook is there (going from Jpop phenomena) . But again, I am being told that the quality is not there so maybe that is the reason.
fair enough. I haven't watched neither of them, so I'll take your comment as the reason.

Yeah I really don't get Yuyushiki. The whole thing feels like a B level Hidasketch.

There was nothing special or memorable about. I remember it being on the rather boring side, unlike their other anime.
THAT IS JUST RANDOM! WHY DO THEY ASK SUCH AS THING? WHY?
Maybe it's the Boy:Girl ratio.

I don't know whether to be proud or disappointed in AnimeGAF that no one made a melon pan joke yet.
No, I don't think that's it, Tamako was actually really well executed with great direction and animation. I think the problem was that it just wasn't very engaging for the most part. I definitely feel it's one of kyoto's weakest from an entertainment standpoint.
The same way they do any other?

Who put the grenade there? Heckle?
Ok, this is the most plausible reason for such result. I like science!
euphemism at its best. I am actually surprised it took this long to get that symbolism out of the way.
I doubt that highly.
Otaku dont seem to care if there are several guys, as long as there are sufficent waifus.
