When do they air?
":lol" and ":lololololol", respectively.
Yeah, I hear you. And I didn't want to dismiss in any way their works on many other projects with that comment (not even the recent friends: Naki on Monster Island movie), but I thought that with an Oscar under his belt Kunio Katō & company would help to promote the company's image as a powerhouse on different animation areas, be more famous outside Japan to produce more risky or small concepts... well... "whatever will be, will be":

I don't even know what s-CRY-ed is but I'm sure that Wolf's Rain will be better.

s-CRY-ed. You can't go wrong with it.

Eh, unless there's some trolling going on (can't discount that) the two on the left are clearly girls while the two on the right are clearly boys.
Bottom I'm undecided on.

I'm trying to forget.
Those eyelashes are the true giveaway on such character designs.

Sengoku Collection 23
Oh my god. This entire episode was pretty much the Romance of the Three Kingdoms meets a pre-school sandbox. This was hands down one of the best episodes of this series I've seen, if not the best.
It seems to me that the whole show is just an excuse for various staff at Brain's Base to mess around and try weird stuff out. It would be cool if that's what they were doing but it's hard to tell without reading any interviews of other material from the staff working on the project.

I haven't really been following this thread very closely since June.
By that logic nobody should marathan Revolutionary Girl Utena, either!
Fair enough. Given the pace of this thread, they're just drops in the stream anyways.
Monday: Haibane Renmei
Tuesday: Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
Wednesday: Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team
Thursday: Gunslinger Girl
Friday: Paranoia Agent
So we'll get to GSG 10 on September 13th.
What's GSG? Gunslinger Girl?

S-cry-ed no contest. Wolf's Rain is just alright.
How does a Sunrise connoisseur not know about their best show?
But everyone here knows about Code Geass.
LOL. Oh.... man. Shots fired.

This could only be possible in a world where Zeta Gundam doesn't exist.

That was a good and funky movie, I like it... The artstyle make you having doubt, but I like it after 10 minute or so.
Now the cons is, the pacing is very chaotic if you want say it like that.. too much thing happening despite the movie is almost 2 hour long but yet everything still like went too fast, the chara development feel so sudden that way. Apparently 2 hour movie still not ideal to adapt 3 volume of manga. They can try more harder adjusting thing IMO
I like the story and message as a whole though. Its pretty much :cosmic material.
And thank guys I think I will pick Wolf Rain first out of my backlog.
EDIT : Now I having doubt

Shots of truth?
Code Geass is the peak of Sunrise. There was nothing like it before and there will be nothing like it after.
Scryed was really meh.

But Utena is at least good.
Star Driver is repetitive even when you watch it once a week (and bad, to boot).
More importantly, while Utena may feature repetitive moments and stock footage, there is plenty of character development going on and change taking place. Star Driver has none of that.

Some of the prices for this the are crazy, especially on Amazon Marketplace. Wonder if someone might rescue and rerelease it eventually.

I wouldn't really consider myself a Sunrise connoisseur. In fact, I don't really consider myself a connoisseur of any one studio in particular.
Hell's Angels
Visually really nice, it captures the best part of Shinichi Hiromoto's drawing style and all of its craziness.
Story wise, I felt the movie didn't show enough of the relationship between Rinne and Stealer as well as with her classmates. That part felt a bit rushed, which is somewhat ironic in a 2 hours movie. The movie was still good on the whole, but because of things like that one, it gave me a disjointed feel here and there.
Having said that, I'd love to see an animated version of GoGo Heaven or Bushidou.

Sengoku Collection
I have no idea what I have gotten myself into, but wonzo recommended that I check out certain episodes of this crazy Brains Base show so I'm reporting back on my adventure.
Sengoku Collection is, as far as I am aware, a fanservice driven f2p social mobile card game in Japan featuring gender swapped heroes from the sengoku era who happen to either be vapid lolis or generic cleavage exposing girls. I don't think there was any creative or artistic thought put into the creation of the original product, other than to scam otaku with microtransactions.
Apparently along the way, someone decided that it would be a good idea to expand the awareness of the game by having an anime. They were probably hoping for some Z-tier studio to bid for the job and to produce something akin to Ikkitousen or whatever other crappy fanservice anime there is which is meant to promote and sell character merchandising. Instead of getting what they wanted, they got Brains Base instead. How this happened, the world might never know.
Which brings us to the show itself. What good could possibly come out of this? Why would any studio actually take on a project like this and try to make something remotely interesting or different out of it? I have no fucking idea, but apparently Brains Base actually tried! Let me explain...
Sengoku Collection - Episode 5
From what I gather, the show is usually pretty bad, but is completely episodic, with each episode focusing on a different character. So there is no loss at all in simply watching the episode which actually ended up being interesting either art-wise, direction-wise, or script-wise.
So anyway, this episode is about Bokuden. Historically, Bokuden is a famous swordsman in the sengoku era of Japan. This is a comparison between a live action film's depiction of Bokuden, and Bokuden as seen in Sengoku Collection:
As you can see, this entire scenario is pretty stupid. But what you might not know is that the stupidity does not end there. It grows into... insanity. The gender swapped sengoku characters are not in fact in the sengoku era anymore. Because of some plot device, they have all been teleported to modern day Japan and now co-exist as part of modern Japanese society. It's sort of like "what if superheroes were real and lived among us openly" except replace that with gender swapped female fanservice pandering samurai legends instead. Yeah... I dunno either.
Okay, so this has to be a pretty wretched anime series right? It's probably filled with fanservice gags and nonsensical generic jokes generated by a production factory with no consideration towards art or talent right? No one would seriously try to take this insane episodic concept and actually... try to make interesting stories right?! Apparently, someone did.
What would happen if Michael Moore lived in Japan in a setting like this and decided to make a biased documentary about the danger of the open availability of swords and the bad influence samurai have on society? Well, if you want to know, watch this episode! I'll let the screens speak for themselves:

I can't wait for Sengoku Collection to end so you can guys tell me what the good episodes are so I don't have to sit through the pap.
I genuinely laughed out loud at this!
S-CRY-ed is a superpowered action show. Wolf's Rain is a misery-filled drama about homoerotic wolves. They're not really directly comparable beyond the level of slash present.
Neither is a bad show, but it depends what you want. Wolf's Rain is a mood piece, with evocative music, art and direction, whereas S-CRY-ed is mostly about kicking ass.
Apparently the novel win the same award (CMIIW)like that (Seirei no) Moribito won years ago.
So yeah, I'm also confused.
