Support NeoGAF

[Syrinx]

I think as long as we maintain some degree of self-policing in here and don't have an uproar when users are banned for obvious reasons, this place will be fine. With figureGAF and footyGAF, the issue seems to be that users were flagrantly disobeying the rules and ignoring warnings from mods, and thought that they should be immune to bannings for things that anybody else would get banned for.

As for content control, banning certain shows from being discussed here might not be a bad idea.

The invisible werewolf doing her thing



Huh interesting then. I was surprised they skipped over that chapter since they seem to be adapting the more action packed ones instead of the slice of life ones.

Here's the upcoming episode list so far.

Episode 7 : E-den of Master Fighters
>Staff (Episode director / Storyboard / Animation director)
>Satou Ikurou / Yoshikazu Miyao & Matsumoto Rie / Mizuhata Kenji
Episode 8 : Z’s Longest Day (Part 1)
>Fujimoto Jiro / Tamura Kotaro & Matsumoto Rie / Horikawa Koichi
Episode 9 : Z’s Longest Day (Part 2)
>Masashi Abe / Fukuda Michio & Matsumoto Rie / Hasegawa Hitomi & Satou Chiharu
Episode 10 : Run! Lunch!! Run!!! / to the end.
>Satou Ikurou / Tomohiko Ito & Matsumoto Rie / Tomioka Ryuji

 

[madp]

Well, her title is Invisible werewolf (lol)

I think you mean Shawty.

It wouldn't surprise me if they go back to earlier chapters, but there's a great deal of material for them to adapt. There's 10 volumes of manga that's out right now and they shown that they aren't necessarily adapting it one to one.

One drawback of Kekkai is that it's been a bit lopsided with how much attention it gives to its supporting cast, so it's impossible to predict the likelihood of a specific character getting a dedicated episode. Next week's episode is another Klaus episode, which is a slightly confusing decision for a 12-episode series as we already had Prosfair and that episode was already arguably a mostly redundant character piece given what the series already leads the viewer to infer about Klaus.

Does Chain really deserve an episode? Not really, but given that the series is structured in such a way that it continues to freely meander between "plot" episodes and "character focus" episodes, there are several colorful supporting characters that could make use of one as opposed to Klaus getting two in the space of five episodes.

Banning shows is a slippery slope to me. We can self moderate fine, I think. Just don't post some screencaps you probably shouldn't of TLR Darkness and Prison School.

The show is probably going to sell really well. For a second cour they could easily go back and cover material they skipped over. There's enough material for a 2nd and possibly 3rd season and the way it's structured, being episodic, there's nothing inherently preventing them from covering what they want.

Now should they be covering the side characters more prominently? Yes, but I think they've done a decent enough job so far. Also next episode is sorta about

This is why I'm not that concerned; Rie's going to be riding a wave of fujobux into total blank check creative freedom probably. A hypothetical S2 might be able to be even more tangential since it's a known marketable quantity.

Well it seems Zapp will get some screentime in the upcoming episodes with Abe Sapien as well, but yeah other characters do deserve some screentime as well which is why I hope a second season happens. So they could adapt other chapters they skipped that gave the supporting characters screentime.

The good thing is the manga seems to be getting a boost and the BD preorders are doing amazingly well for a series like this. So it has a good chance for a second season.

 

[Crocodile]

While I understand the business side of it (less risk), I will say its kind of annoying that a 1 cour model is becoming increasingly the norm and then we have to wait to see if sales or what not are good to know if we'll get more or not. Gone are the days of like 50 episode original animes or 2 cours being the standard for adaptions.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I don't even know who this Chain character is and I watch the show

I feel like I missed something or accidentally skipped an episode or something...

She's pretty much been out of focus since episode 1. It's a shame because I quite like her character design.

[Reknoc]

Wow, really? I've always thought Macross Zero was the weakest part of the franchise other than Macross II (which doesn't exist).

I mean, it has its problems like the environmental CG being really bad, and being a little preachy, but it also had stuff like Fokker and Ryuzaburo Otomo and at the end there's a bipedal robot that launches a nuke from the ship. The series is basically ended by a Metal Gear.

Really I just loved the use of the VFs and other technology. Limited use of Batteroid and Gerwalk made them seem a little more like weapons rather than just mechs designed to be easily marketable toys.

Yea I can see that. The Wikipedia entry mentions it as a sort of safeguard to make sure humans don't become as uppity as the Zentradi, I dunno where that comes from though as the show never mentions that, but I really like that idea.

I'm always surprised how easily broken these apparently incredibly strong childhood friend bonds are over the most petty shit.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already, but despite being streamed by Funimation, Cute Earth High Defense Club Love (that magical boy anime) is being released on BD here by Pony Canyon. Looks like they're releasing it in sub-only limited edition singles. The first volume has 4 episodes, some sort of CD, some sort of booklet, and PonyCan's signature oddly large case. It has something that it calls "short animation 1-6" as an on-disc extra too.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 104:

Ah well, it was nice while it lasted but the small pink nightmare has returned and she has been given a gimmick makeover as the allegedly hilariously inept sailor guardian from the future who has been sent back to the past to seek out new friends and get some desperately needed training. I will admit while I do like the direction they went, making Mini Moon here a dire rookie who needs to earn some combat training, I think they went too far in that direction and now she is a literal joke character at the moment. A more deserving station to be sure, but much like her interactions with Usagi, the joke goes from funny to overbearingly annoying more then it should. Still, it is a sign of a top notch production that I can actual be amused by Chibi-Usa instead of wishing for the sweet release of death, so kudos there. Really, that is pretty much all there is to her focus episode aside from crushing not only on the victim of the week but also our favorite lesbian power couple. There are many a harem protagonist that wish they had as much game as these two do without even really trying. Anyway, this episode comes very mildly recommended as it is tolerable but this is pretty much a gag episode that is lacking much in the way of relevance.

 

[Mr.Jeff]

I wouldn't say that is an ironclad rule when Precure is still around.

There's also Ushio and Tora at some point and that's a fairly lengthy series as well.

 

[Shard]

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 105:

Ah yes, this is the kind of episode that has been needed for a bit of time now. Indeed, one of the true advantages the 1990s anime series had over its other incarnations is the sheer size of any given season means that the core cast will get face time no matter how out of focus they get at other points in the season. Case in point, this was a very solid focus episode on the inner team that we haven't seen in awhile. Granted the focal point is Mako and hero issues with inaquacy following her defeat and the hands of some monster of the week that I sort of remember and her sudden desire to train and get stronger become a lone wolf and such. While she is the star of this particular show we get a lot of interplay with the inners that used to dominate past season but have been since reduced in scale ever since the spore and The Most Interesting Couple In The World showed up onto the scene. While yes all of those players do show up for bit parts this was more Mako doing the admittedly cliched resolution of overcoming her individual weakness through the power of teamwork. Got to admit that seems to be a lesson she should already know but whatever this was just a good and soild episode, recommended to watch.

Those still happen, but mostly with kid shows, like card game anime, so people here don't pay much attention.

There are also a few recent Jump series that seem to have continuous runs from the start - see World Trigger, which has just hit episode 29.

I thought World Trigger sucks D: couldn't even complete episode 1... those designs.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

There are a lot of adaptations (JoJo Stardust Crusaders, World Trigger) and long running series like PreCure that hit 4 cours worth of episodes, but pretty much only kids shows like Tribe Cool Crew (I think) and Card Battoru show #45842 get that many on an original IP

Some touhou remixes are the thing of beauty , i can't even see the link between the original music sometimes and they are so good ( listening to them while i drive to work ) . The japan doujin remix scene is quite healthy. I have no regrets spending money every comiket ( thanks to a friend i can get my own copy , YEAH ! ).

Most of the time. But Is not rare that they "Remix" it so much that it become original song by itself lol.

Yeah. In these days of 13 episode shows its pretty rare for a original thing to strike such a cord that it gets 4 cours worth.

All the recent shows with that kind of length I can think of (like log horizon) are all based on popular existing material.

 

[TUSR]

I actually love Working!! now

 

[Theonik]

Saving the old era 'long anime' 50 episode shows have always served one purpose and one purpose alone:
To sell toys.
The length is almost exclusively targeted to kids and for good reason. The intent of running for what is a full year is to keep relevant toy ads up for kids to buy the toys. See older mecha, PreCure, etc etc.
Now there are notable exceptions like say the new JoJo but I'd argue that's 2 2ish episode shows.

You're generalizing a bit too strongly here. There are plenty of long running shows both old and new that don't really fall into that particular toy demographic. Unless things like Ace of Diamond, Yowapeda, Baby Steps, and Space Bros are selling a lot more toys than I'm aware of.

Shigurui 1-6 Rewatch

I had my doubts after being disappointed on my return to AoT but this is, fortunately, even better than I remember it being. I think I recall the first three-four episodes draggin a bit before getting hooked but this time, being already accustomed to the style and pacing of the show, I ate it up with no problems. Shigurui just oozes creepy, unsettling atmosphere from its every frame and though it doesn't have any super animated fights with elaborate choreography, it is still a sight to behold. Texhnolyze is the obvious comparison in terms of style but this time, I couldn't help but find it a bit similar to the Aku no Hana, especially in its use of music or the lack of it.

It's fun to the seeds planted for some future developments; Mie's disdain for puppets, Irako throwing up after the duel or Fujiki's non wavering devotion to the Kogan household. It's just a shame that the anime doesn't last long enough to see some of those seeds grow. The gore is still here and it's still as glorious as ever but I think my brain blocked out a few scenes of more sexual nature for my own sanity's sake. I didn't have any recollection of them being that fucked up.

In summary - glorious gore fest. AOTF

I am so excited for you.

Let's hope he's ready for the final leg of this one. Maybe we'll get a post after ep.16. Capturing your thoughts at that moment is pretty tough. Yup, you're right, watching others go through the experience is fun too.

Those fall on a separate category and often are exceptions running in odd seasons. Things that run in 50 episode tend to have a specific function which is to run for a year all year round.
These shows are mostly targeted to children. A lot of them are original, long adaptations are a different kettle of fish.

 

[javac]

It's pretty funny because I was thinking about how you don't see long shows as much as you used to just this moment only to see you all talking about the same topic, am I wrong in my rationalization that they try to adhere to season much more these days, and tend to look into sequels when the demand is high? Spooky coincidence in any case.

It's not really the case when you put the numbers down. There is exponentially more anime these days. I want to say the average anime is of lesser length but I think the amount of 50 episode merch shows is about the same now but their target changed. You had hundreds of 50 episode mecha anime in the 80s for instance I think.

Yeah I hardly keep up with stuff these days so it's all anecdotal really, I just look at lot of the more popular shows that people watch and they seem to cap off at the 24 mark with the more popular stuff like Psycho-Pass, Steins;Gate, KLK and AoT etc with a lot of them being 11 to 12 like Aku no Hanna, Tatami and what have you. I guess when you look around, there's still a lot of long running shows no doubt. Like I said, I don't keep up and just see whats regurgitated the most, so there's lots of stuff I haven't even heard of that are of a longer nature. I guess in the end when you look at it, your Ippo's and LotGH shows were never really a dime a dozen.

It's also a bit funny because I remember an argument recently in this very thread stating the opposite, that you don't see many short OVA's these days, so I guess in the end we'll never find the right balance.

A lot of it has to do with how people actually keep up with current shows every season thesedays, whereas a lot of the older shows were picked up years later with most of the crap weeded out, so you see a lot of everything really from short OVA's like Giant Robo and Gunbuster to long ass shows like Urusei Yatsura.

One would assume that shonens were massive in the west back then with Toonami and co so we used to get a load of shows like DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh and even things like Shaman King and Medabots. With a lack of huge TV presence in the west, you see less of these shows in the limelight with merchandise and such, whereas in Japan you'll see Yokai Watch everywhere.

In any case, nothing will top Sazae-san

Don't worry, Ange will evolve into a terribly entertaining cunt. She is a bitch to the end, but the bitchiness is interlaced with being awesome at times and dropping some righteous burns at other times.

In a way, that show is a epitome of something that can be really bad and really good at the same time, but for different reasons, instead of the more usual "so bad that it's good."
