Meh, visually stunning, nice music but thats the only good thing I can say. The plot and characters are just terrible, boring romance with a typical love triangle. The fact that 2 stories were told at once didn't help the anime either.
4/10

Finally my dream of having a white pantsu screen wipe is real!
Thanks Senran Kagura!
Her ranking there is more of a placeholder.
Thanks Senran Kagura!
Yeah I was wondering when it'd happen.
Because plot. But really the rumour is as I said before that Loran was initially intended to be female, Studio didn't like a Gundam show MC being female so they forced him to be male. So the director kept trolling for the rest of the show.
The crossdress stuff, everyone treating him like a female. Frequent shots to the nuts etc.
I'm not sure, I'd actually put Chifune on a different category to the rest of the IS girls tbh.
Her ranking there is more of a placeholder.

You don't have to try to hide if you cried, it's okay man.
She hadn't forgotten him because she couldn't stop thinking about him. :'(
Isn't the director Tomino? I can't imagine him not having a large say. Are you referring to Yatate? It's a bit disappointing as I would have liked an actual female lead.

Yeah rumour says it was Tomino who wanted it but he couldn't get the studio management to agree. Of course it could very well be false!
There is a newly uploaded interview with TRIGGER Inc., staff posted by Otaking (once more), conducted when they were at Paris supervising the music recording's post-production for Little Witch Academia (http://michiru-oshima.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc00156paris.jpg & http://michiru-oshima.net/?p=773&cat=5&oya=):

Some bullet points of it are that Inferno Cop was born as a challenge to test out how the studio could work in a project with an extremely limited budget, that they want to make a digital disc release of it, that they are interested in trying one day to make a project that caters only to western/foreign audiences (or actually made with those in mind), the interview talks also a little about that Renpai Girl CM and the people from the studio who worked on it and in which tasks, and finally that Mr. Imaishi has been planning this next series from him for the past three years and because of that creating a new studio was vital because of the expansive scope this project is going to have.
Good news also is that promotion work on NTV is finally picking-up, with the first images of the posters already shown a few days ago on it and new information coming tomorrow (in Japan), the ZOOM IN PEOPLE! (ジップ!) and SUKKIRI!! (スッキリ!!) programs of that channel are going to be a sure source of interesting bits in the following weeks.

It is a shame first thing that comes to mind now when I hear focus on "hand-to-hand combat" is what was said for the first season of Saint Seiya Ω. :-/
Yep, an amazing bunch to say the least, I expected no less for their (probable) swan song. Sad truth is that, for The Wind Rises, Takashi Hashimoto misses the presence of Mr. Kanada but also says they were searching for all those animators (still) capable of achieving great mechanical animation to work on the film (https://twitter.com/norider1965/status/225147921224581120)... I expect the 'creme of the crop' on that matters after all!Came across some interesting stuff on Twitter:

The unit director for Takahata's Kaguya-hime is Osamu Tanabe and the animation director is Kenichi Konishi. The key animators on the project include Shinji Hashimoto, Miwa Sasaki, Masashi Ando, Shinji Otsuka, and Hideki Hamasu. Shinji Hashimoto and Miwa Sasaki in particular have been involved with the project since the very early stages of production.
The animation director for Miyazaki's Kaze Tachinu is Kitaro Kousaka. He apparently said that "There are many complex scenes, and contents are different from what I've worked on up until now" and that the movie will feature "very fantastical scenes of the sky". Yup, sounds like a Miyazaki movie.

You still can just pretend he indeed a female like Kurapika.

When the guy was collecting all her notes off the streets and met her again, yeah that was the only noteworthy drama moment

I thought the Chihiro half was really sweet and touching and there were a lot of powerful moments between the two. But fuck the other half of the show.
Would give the Chihiro half a 9/10 and the other half a 3/10.

You should watch Dusk Maiden, it's made by the same team more or less. It's visualy similar but without the stupid VN story.

Also seconding this.
Dusk Maiden was really, really good. Although the ending left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
And Yuko is hawt. Moe as hell too.
"Yuko is Moe. hawt as hell too."
The world need a second season, and more Yuko merchandise.
7th hype is the worst. First Fujiko, then Saint Seiya Omega, then Photo Kano. When will the genocide end?
Thirded. Dusk Maiden was a nice show with likeable characters and a very striking visual direction. Definitely one of my favorites from last year.
A word of advice, though, skip the first episode if you do decide to watch it. It has horrible editing and doesn't really add much of value to the overall narrative and made me dismiss the show initially based on that first impression. The story and character introductions proper start with the second episode so I would suggest just starting from there.

I never realized Dusk Maiden's first episode got the Fate/Zero treatment.
Personally I really liked it. The little twist in there is cute.

I don't agree with the first part, but apparently Heartcatch was already watched, so that would be problematic.
Madoka is good stuff though.

Maybe Regulus hype can save us!
You're welcome.
It really is that catchy.
There was no reason to show the same sequence of events twice in a single episode with and without Yuko when one could tell immediately from the opening scenes what was going on. It was just really lazy. Also, the first episode assumes a familiarity with the characters that simply is not there yet so it doesn't bother establishing them or anything wich makes it really difficult to care about what they're doing or why they're doing it.
It was pretty bad. Thankfully I decided to give it a second chance.
What's his track record?
Well shit.

Wasn't Regulus hyping Saint Seiya Omega too?

If practically everyone is unanimously hyped fot it, I'm sure we can all counteract that negative effect!

If AnimeGAF is to be believed, the sure way for a show to turn out bad is for someone, anyone, to be looking forward to it.
So, romanized/stylized as KILL la KILL? Yeah...
We are doomed then, (almost) everyone is salivating for it in here...
Hahaha! "Kiru" also stands for "to wear", of course!
I see spaces. And there would be the URL, too.
"Kill la Kill".
Fine by me.
Fixed!

I really ought to get around to learning Japanese for cool things like this along with all those games that'll never be localized, damn you Sega and Capcom.
A lot of people were wary from the moment Mari Okada was revealed as writer; only dumb dreamers like me refused to see the truth. ;_;
To waifu or not to waifu, that is the question.
