Scratch that then, I remember few staff involved in PP and some R;N episode.. guess I'm wrong.

The character designer for PP is at Wit, but he barely worked on PP at all as an animator or animation director. He probably left early in pre-production or production. The show was made in IG Studio 5. R;N is supposedly a Studio 6 project, but most of the show seems to be other parts of IG chipping in, so they knew Studio 6 was going to split into Wit long in advance. I think Wit Studio actually worked on some episodes of R;N, but it's not a core project for them. They had zero involvement with PP.

The vast majority of the Shingeki team are identical to the Guilty Crown team, so they've probably been planning since GC ended. That still isn't a lot of time though, for a big show like this. Especially when Wit actually had to move to new offices, and also produce another movie at the same time.

I'm in awe here and not just by how nice this looks.
 
Oreimo S2 - 07



Oh man am I hype to see the next episode! :lol

Gets jar to collect Kuroneko fans' tears.

urgh that kinda makes me sick. What kind of person would have a picture of his little sister in a bikini as the wallpaper on their phone. I thought this day would never come but I've dropped watching Oreimo from ep6. Season 2 has just not been nowhere as good as season 1.

Its as bas as Season 2 was to Season 1 of Darker than Black.

It ain't even bitter tears for team Kuroneko, just super pissed that Kirino super bitch is the reason for everything like I thought it would be, fuck this show.

A medium of entertainment that's not especially big and you're trying to make a title that belongs in the sub-genre that's owned by literally one franchise and you're not going to examine it to make sure you're not just retreading territory? It just seems a little disrespectful.

Why would he waste his time examining it when he's working on an LN adaptation? These questions are better off being asked @ based Kawahara the actual writer, than a guy hired to make an anime out of a hit LN series.

Totally how it went down for the guys who made Rah Xephon, too, I bet.

Not at all.

According to RahXephon director Yutaka Izubuchi, the similarity of designs and powers of the title robots and the basic plots of RahXephon and Raideen are intentional

You can say that to every title then.

And oh Rahxephon is more Megazone 23 than to Eva.

It's a mix of Raideen, Megazone, Eva and The Dandelion Girl (well duh to the last one)

#Team Kirino, we in there!

If I remember correctly, they actually thank Gainax in the credits, lol.

Weren't they just doing some animation outsourcing for the last episode? I remember seeing Gainax in the credits after Episode 26 aired and was told @ the time it was just some animation work, along with a lot of other companies. Happens all the time.

Also RahXephon OP > Eva OP.

Yukimura vs Date fight was good stuff. Loved the art shift.

The intimate Kasuga/Kenshin interaction is so hilariously far removed from the Takeda Shingen/Yukimura Sanada manly beating the hell out of each other stuff. Nobunaga's entrance was so damn good too.
 
Detective Conan 189:
The story continues with some really intense moments, particularly as
it becomes very obvious to Conan that Ran is aware of his identity with her knowledge of his blood type.
This episode has a lot of smaller character moments, particularly with Conan, Ran and Heiji, which make sense given the ordeal that Conan is in the midst of. Then, they wrap it up with an incredible cliffhanger that is executed perfectly.

I thought people like this were just a myth. Disgusting.

We're real baby, we're real! I'm also a Heat fan so that might factor into that!

I was actually following the Heat waaaay before Lebron came (I didn't even want Lebron at the time, "we got bosh, we don't need him, wade is better" wow I was so fucking wrong) and wanted that fuckhead Spo sacked for his manlove of Haslem (he has a picture of him on his desk ffs) and how he handled Beasley (he still sucks as a coach but he was spot on about supercool)

God tier with Aquarion OP

I can't believe the god tier anime song team up of Maaya and Kanno went from Hemisphere to Triangler... what a fucking let down. Was like their best work together to their worst.

And yeah dat aquarion OP... so good it made me actually watch 6 episodes of aquarion back when it aired before I gave up and quit anime completely... only to come back to that god tier Spring 07 season.

I actually liked Aquarion a lot more when I started to rewatch it a few years ago, Kawamori was just having fun out there.

There's a newspaper article talking about Maruyama and MAPPA, and it had a few bits of interesting information about their upcoming film project:

Someone give Maruyama some money, please!
For more details we should get someone to translate Sunao Katabuchi's weekly column at WEB ANIMESTYLE (http://animestyle.jp/column/1300/), where he talked about things like those mentioned in that article. Imagine, there are so many details about a struggling production waiting to be translated...

"Even though Maruyama has yet to secure funding for the production of "To All the Corners of the World," he has already started making it, proving that the passion passed down through the DNA of Mushi Production is still alive and well."

:(
Then... what are probabilities of this ending at the same limbo as The Dream Machine? (._.)

Nobita's Dinosaur (2006)

I really liked how Nobita was handled throughout the film--you get a good sense for how he thinks, and why he does the things he does. When he's eagerly speculating about the kind of fame he'd receive thanks to the dinosaur, it's a nice mixture of selfishness and innocence, the sort of short-shortsightedness befitting a child.
Yep, that's good ol' Nobita.

Nice impressions. I have seen animation fragments of it, but one of this days I shall make myself with this movie...
so I can recommend more than just the 1980 version of it (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=26638952&postcount=12102)

Even the DVD release here in Spain is specially cool looking... shame about not including the original version of the dub.

Probably came up earlier in the month but just saw Unico is going to get double feature bluray treatment by Discotek. Awesome.
That is cool and all, but is a shame I can't conform with this when The Legend of Sirius remains ignored by them.

You're beginning to sell me on the show, haha. I'll just consider it a love letter to Anno.
Yutaka Izubuchi himself said he wanted to make his own Evangelion
Best thing is Mr. Anno & Mr. Izubuchi are apparently good friends... united by their love for the original Space Battleship Yamato (http://www.ourstarblazers.com/754_Yamatalk4/index.html)!

Well its depend who you gonna fault about giving brand new project to team that just assigned.
WIT was part of I.G. Production and is not really a fresh team full of newbies.
Yep, continuing with the same producers and all. Like in a usual division's spin-off, they probably had a strong enough structure as it is.

Remember Kraker's useful information about the Production I.G studios structure?
 
I can't comprehend the appeal of team Kirino, I understand SDBurton is salty that Kuroneko cuts down Kirino and doesn't put up with her bullshit period, but every other damn female in the show is better than her.

wrrrryyyyyy!?

Not every girl, even Kirino is better than Manami.

Wasn't really feeling Keiji as a character during his introduction but he sure had a good presence during his conversations with Kenshin and Date about the philosophy that drives him.

Slower ep that was probably necessary after the craziness of the last two. Gotta establish motivations and politics, I suppose.

Yeah, that definitely deserves some bluray treatment. Beautiful film.
Of course. The problem is that there is a release that the very same Discotek Media isn't going to get yet or isn't really interested in, most probably for the reasons DiGiKerot well mentioned (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57471098#post57471098, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57472880#post57472880, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57473614#post57473614 and http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57474312#post57474312).

Man, that's disappointing. Then again the prices of those blurays make them very tempting to just import.

Not even man! Kirino has that sass! Pair that with her passion of games where she captures the hearts of her fellow maidens and its no surprise why she's top tier in my book. Behind her is Ayase (her OTP) and Saori. Kuroneko is at the very bottom!

Triangler was good but I dunno why Maaya sing it that way.. the Sheryl/Ranka/Duo version was much better.

I enjoyed Aquarion, but yeah its only mediocre.. but dat OP man..

Hataraku-Maou Sama 2

Hey I'm loving this show. Should have started it sooner.

Best part was Emi spying on them thinking they were doing sinister shit, but they're just doing normal stuff like going to bathhouses and shopping at a sale at the grocery store. And she's all "Is this real life?" Oh and her knocking on their door demanding they open and Alciel loses his shit, and Satan's all "Eh don't worry about it." That was fun

I wonder why they don't just kill her now that she's in their house. But I guess they might not have anything to kill her with. Plus there's the whole murder thing. Without their powers, they probably can't handle the police. So they have to be good. Which they've become surprisingly adept at.
