so I guess we really only saw a very small amount of Sky Raker in the show. Its a pity since she was one of my favorite characters. I dont know why but I tend to really like certain characters in shows that only show up for a very brief time.
It's funny though, when I first saw Sky Raker I though she will be a perfect fit for Taku. Chiyu doesn't deserves anything.
Then we have things like Hyōka that try to go the 'hard way', to accomplish certain camera movements and angles (one scene that occurs on a bicycle parking lot comes to mind, from episode 17). I think they can "mask" that integration decently enough thanks to appropriate character motion (in 'full animation' and all) and direction. Not everyone can do that depending on the type of show, sure.I think that's part of how the industry is moving forward right now. It's hard to tell where it will go in another few years, but I've noticed that while 10 years ago there was a lot of "integration" to so speak, these days there is more aggressive attempts at making full-CG scenes instead.
You know what, I shouldn't just complain about that one FMA:B episode, I should actually call out the people who brought it into being. In this case, that would be the storyboarder Iwao Teraoka and the director Shuuji Miyahara. As their ANN profiles reveal, Iwao has spent most of his career working in animation, not storyboarding. Meanwhile Shuuji has only really directed episodes in a handful of shounen titles over the years. Perhaps it isn't surprising that the episode falls completely on it's face.

Zetsuen no Tempest site update. PV3 is in the movies section. Full animation PV with voices, etc. Great action. Kana Hanazawa is confirmed as Aika's voice as well. Key visual got updated too:
Here's a Youtube link for anyone who finds it easier or can't access the site for some reason:

Something else amusing they're doing to promote the show:

Shouldn't you blame the producer or HR who chose those roles for these two individuals?

Gotta disagree here. Iwao Teraoka is a pretty solid storyboarder. His experience in animation is a good thing. Storyboarding is important, but even the storyboards with the best intentions can be linked to crappy episodes if the rest of the effort and direction is not there. The main problem with the episode here is how silly everything looks, and how little effort there was in actually making the "epic" scenes feel elaborate and grand, as opposed to silly and bland. I'll say the individual animators and the directives they were given shoulder the majority of the fault here. Miyahara is a scrub though, so you can chew him out for all I care. Lol.

The ultimate Kusanagi Godou x Erica episode was pretty boring.However Godou in the intermiate space should be good hopefully
i feel that this anime moves way too fast and doesn't pause to deliver on all the "right"moments properly.
EP 11 and we're already covering the 5th novel ... so many things totally ignored in between ARGH
i'll still watch it , but this adaptation is totally flawed
I dont or maybe forgot, but why are all these people trying to be his concubine or whatever, I like it when its on the fighting the gods.
If you want to compare it to a TV show, especially another BONES show, the finale of Eureka Seven did a far, far better job of presenting a scene like that on a massive scale, while on a TV budget. RahXephon as well.Of course, you may well point out that comparing a TV production to an OVA or movie is inherently unfair and I suppose you're right. However, just because you're working on a TV production doesn't mean that you can get away with having lazy framing, bad pacing and boring cinematography.

I didn't comment on this earlier, but this is a pretty good PV - the action looks very stylish, the voice acting is good, and Michiru Ooshima's music is as lush and string-heavy as ever. It still doesn't look like a typical Bones show but it looks much better in motion than it did in the shots we saw in the first couple of PVs.
I still think the story makes very little sense from what I've read of the manga, but fingers crossed Ando can pull something decent out of the bag.
What an incredibly original premise.

But then you can also note just how superior the art and direction is in those finales, compared to the final FMA:B episodes, which feels very run of the mill and really doesn't look or feel any different than any random episode in the series. You don't get the same feeling of a staff pouring their efforts in order to make a finale feel special.

It feel so much more "shounen anime" than the original due to the direction.
I don't know what that is, and don't care to find out!Well, the director is doing Code:Breaker next, so... lol.

Surely I can't be only one who finds this design a little ridiculous?Father is the 'final boss' of the show, the most powerful adversary that our heroes will ever have to battle. You'd think that he'd look a little more intimating. Instead he looks like a big pregnant man covered in goofy looking eyeballs. His big belly really doesn't help matters. I think he looks really dumb.
I must say, I don't really approve of all these wavy arms that stick out of the city in this shot I think they just look rather silly and they aren't menacing in the slightest. Finally, I'd like to say that this extreme long-shot of Father is kind of pointless because I can't really see what's going on.

Another example of that trend would be the original Hunter x Hunter compared to the newer series.

Lantis, the music label of the Japanese anime distributor Bandai Visual, began streaming an advance promotional video for the Love Live! anime series on Saturday. The video and the anime's official Twitter account are announcing that the series will premiere early next year on television.
The "school idol project" is set at a school between Tokyo's Akihabara, Kanda, and Jinbochō neighborhoods. The school faces the danger of being "streamlined" out of existence, so nine of its female students decide to become idols to protect their school and boost attendance.
They... actually made an anime to it!
Another example of that trend would be the original Hunter x Hunter compared to the newer series.
what's your problem? the cockroaches or Kugimiya?
