Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru 12 - END

No! You can't end! This can't be it!

I'll strike you all with lightning if you end!

Fuck you, Shaft! Fuck you, people who didn't buy it! Fuck everything!

If I buy all the Blu-Rays, will you make more? I'll do it! I'll do anything!

I'll throw my entire wallet away! Just give me more!

Spoiler

This whole sequence was really devastating. I didn't know Shaft had it in them.

Seriously, this final episode was one of the best in the whole series. It reminded me a lot of Fumoffu's conclusion, but while that just had me confused, this pulled on my heartstrings much more effectively. It's the perfect way to end a show like this. And also possibly the cruelest.

I just... goddammit. &#65381;&#65439;&#65381;(&#65417;&#1044;`)&#65381;&#65439;&#65381;&#65377;

Quite strange for me they pick Daisuke Ono for this role.

Nope.

Naruto SD 26

Nice, excited for the next game. Dodgeball was hilarious first half and second half was great with the implied Lord Orochimaru x Kabuto (that cell phone picture kiss).

I guess the episode did at least confirm its renewed for yet another season :/

 

[Maedhros]

Why's Miu looking at me?

 

[Jex]

I don't think fans who would buy such a show care to have it on blu-ray at a premium price. If there are people planning on buying it, they're probably waiting for the DVD box coming out in January, which is like 100 bucks cheaper.

You're saying comedy fans don't care about HD?

I don't know if Jinrui selling more than Eureka Seven AO is an achievement for Jinrui or a complete failure for BONES.

I suppose it could be both.

 

[Regulus Tera]

The Ostensibly Asexual Adventures of Mio and Ritsu 18

It's like looking at Sawako-sensei if Sawako-sensei didn't dress like a Misfits reject.

Entirely innocent and non-romantic female relationships, yup.

oh god Parish was right. I can see KyoAni's ulterior motives now.

Best episode since the Mugi episode. Mio is a cool gal. Not too fond of Ritsu, but again, tomboys have never been my weakness.

 

[BGBW]

Well us Brits don't (when it comes to producing television shows) and we're the Kings of Comedy.

 

[duckroll]

The early screening event for From the New World has ended. They showed the first 3 episodes, and apparently confirmed that the show is 25 episodes in total. So that averages out to about 8 episodes per book. Seems about right.

[darkside31337]

This is how you know Hyouka is the best show KyoAni has ever made.

I really don't care if you like Hyouka or not but your asshole snobbery is approaching Femmeworth levels.

 

[PdotMichael]

25 episodes of From The New World sounds pretty cool.

 

[JCG]

So, I know it's pretty hard to gauge these things, but don't you think all those things will distance the fans of the original show from these OVA's/movies?

From what I can tell...current pre-order trends for the BDs seem to be pretty good, even at this early stage, so that may not be much of an issue. If anything, the absence of Lelouch (and co.) would be what is going to distance a certain number of Code Geass fans right from the start, but if enough of them (plus others) are still interested regardless, then that assumption would appear to be incorrect. You don't always need to have exactly the same tone and style all across a specific property, especially if you're trying to tell a different story and not a direct continuation.

Purely personally speaking...I like most of what Akane and Taniguchi have directed, in spite of their distinct approaches and virtues/flaws, so I see this as a win-win for me. Even if the OVA may change for better or for worse as it goes on, that doesn't necessarily mean I'll dislike it either.

Cool, of course I'm seeing now it includes unrelated results, like ones for the Figuarts ZERO New World version figures from One Piece. That's funny.

Great, nothing to grief if the show actually good and bombed hard then!

Bad media blasters is awful, now Ill have my first incomplete anime set (which is just the first 7 episodes dubbed of Bakuman

UK release of Bakuman from Kaze Europe...
@KazeUK have said that it will now be a subtitle-only release due to the cancelation of the title in the USA. Should be more details on this soon.

 

[firehawk12]

Why did they cancel it?

Late, as usual:

Grzi is a moe detective who loves space. Now begins Grzi's tragic story...

I see potential.

25 episodes confirmed for From the New World. 9 DVD/BD volumes - 1 ep in vol1, 3 eps in vol2-9.

And apparently at the very same price all the volumes. I think they could have tried to take advantage of that and reduce the price on the initial volume to make it more attractive for those not invested in collecting for sure the series at first.

 

[BluWacky]

Why did they cancel it?

Presumably it bombed very, very hard - plus Media Blasters have really been struggling in recent years with a lot of cancellations etc.

 

[PdotMichael]

And apparently at the very same price all the volumes. I think they could have tried to take advantage of that and reduce the price on the first one to make it more attractive for those not invested in collecting for sure the series.

Oh, shit! Sorry, didn't see the different price for the following volumes below of the first one's information.

 

[BluWacky]

And apparently at the very same price all the volumes. I think they could have tried to take advantage of that and reduce the price on the first one to make it more attractive for those not invested in collecting for sure the series.

The first volume comes with the first OST and a "katanuki sleeve" from the community featured in the show. I'm not quite sure what a katanuki sleeve is but presumably it's something to do with this.

Now we've established that it's cheaper than the other volumes I don't think it's too bad a deal, really. Well, not too bad a deal compared to all the other very expensive Blurays in Japan.

Yeah, I see now that it seems to be a good deal. Quite the difference compared to what I thought just a moment ago!

Hidamari Sketch 2

I liked this entire sequence where each one was drawing the name plate and the colours kept changing as it showcased each person's work. This is the sort of stuff that I like and Hidamaari Sketch has been doing it very frequently. It shows a huge contrast to when Shaft draws outside scenery which is filled with plain boring white backgrounds most of the times. Now that I think about it, why isn't Shaft doing the Bleach anime?

There were a lot of pun related jokes in the first which I wasn't that fond of, but overall the episode was still enjoyable. Oh and the music was still superb, I really gotta listen to the entire OST one of these days. My current favourite right now is the preview song, very relaxing and soothing.

 

[Defuser]

Ichigo and Rukia head tilts and filler text censoring the fight? Hell yeah!

 

[Jarmel]

Have Urobuchi ever written romance? lol

That's what Makoto Fukami is there for. One of the manga's she did had homosexuality in it so if the show does turn out to have BL then she might be the one who specializes in that area.

 

[Mandoric]

To be frank I'd rather have sub only releases if it meant they could slash the prices.

I watch plenty of other foreign shows without the need of an English dub.

Prices are already slashed, at this point sub-only buys you it existing. (Except when it doesn't!)
