I assume Amano did the towels? They look like Arcobaleno.
Hehehehe. What flames do they use?

I agree.

I have to imagine Tari Tari was better than True Tears... but I have no idea. lol
3d > 2d.
I can't believe they're making a film about it. It should be interesting to see how it ends up anyway. lol
I was going to say that it probably won't come out anywhere else, but then I remembered that Jesus is a character on South Park.

[Cross Game] - 10 & 11
Yeah, that's about as long as I'd want that baseball game to go on. I'm glad that nothing is really overstaying it's welcome in a painful, Kaiji-esque manner.
As a side-note, I find it rather odd that Japan has a fascination with baseball. I imagine Wikipedia will tell me all the sordid details of their love affair, but it's always struck me as a little strange.

Ey up lad. It's Japanimation from the Nation of the Rising Gaseous Formation like.
I think that's snappy enough.

Japan appreciates the best sport on the planet. I don't see whats odd about that.
Thank America too! Brought the game over there in the late 19th century, and then sent over the equivalent of an all-star team (including the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx etc) to play exhibition games there and then it spread especially with Koshien.
And yeah the games don't drag on quite the same way they do in Oofuri. If I remember correctly one of the games took up literally half the series in the first season.
Of course you would.

Personally, I prefer a 0 to a 1, in terms of 'lowest score' because 1 seems to imply that the experience was greater than something. Not that I really dig decimal scoring systems in general - the whole 'ten point scale' thing just seems inherently odd and artificial. The debates about such measuring tools have been rehashed endlessly over in the Gaming side so I won't bore you with my opinion here.

I'm strangely okay with this.

However, in your earlier post you said:
There really seems to be a muddling of terminology going on here. What does 'relatable' mean? Why is empathy a crucially linked to relatability? Do you empathize with Walter? Why is appealing to a general audience important?

New key visual for Haganai S2: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT
I see artists are working hard to keep #perspectivefail trending. This shot, as usual, combines a bad fisheye lens (which only curves the right wall and nothing else) and really weird sizes. The girls at the front of the image are, literally, twice as large as those towards the back yet there's probably only a metre or two separating the groups of characters.
Oh, there's also bad digital lighting at work here but that effects nearly everything these days so it's barely worth talking about.
Yeah, I can't wait to watch it either
Empathy isn't likability. It's being able to put yourself in their shoes and understand their motivations and what drives them. Yes I can empathize with certain aspects of Walter's personality, I may not like him as an individual but I can understand his motivations. As for relatability, I would say that is there is something about the character that the audience can associate themselves with even if it's basic notions such as providing for one's family. These two are pretty intrinsically linked in that it's about the audience understanding, in the context of the show, of what drives the person. They don't necessarily have to agree with it but have some sort of personal framework to emotionally connect on. As for the last bit, I would say it's an issue of immersion.

I hate to disagree with you here, as I'm certainly not fond of the look of this key visual or anything from this franchise, really, but if you look carefully at the left well you'll see that it's curved in a similar manner to the right. The position of the character in the front left makes it a little hard to notice.

You're right, of course.
My problem with the whole curved/fish-eye lens shot is that I can never understand why the background is curved but the characters are not - that's not how it works. This is actual my main been with all images of this type.
Ah well, I guess only Oshii understands how it's supposed to work:

Just noticed I have given 11 shows a perfect 10, but they all deserve it in my opinion. (LoGH, Steins;Gate, FMA:B, Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Hellsing Ultimate, Mushishi etc)

if you have the right distance the person in the middle will look pretty normal.
a group works too
Whatever they were planning must have fallen through for now; the next entry on the lineup page now reads "To Be Announced September 27" instead of the 26th.
Remember, licensing is a tricky, tricky beast. All kinds of last-minute complications can pop up sometimes.

Just a few less than I.
Id give Reborn manga a 10, anime had that odd issue of like seven minutes of credits + recap :/ + ending + Horoscope/Hibarin/etc.

Wow. That's a lot of 10s.
I have just as many.

K has some of the best character designs for the Fall, hes my favorite one in it so far.
The good thing about animation is that you don't have to follow logical perspectives or conventional-isms as technological limiting factors like camera lens design (glass elements position... whatever) that determine part of the look, the composition of a scene... another matter would be judging the effectiveness of such shot, though, if it accomplishes anything being done like that. For that, in the case of the promotional image you first mention I think like you, but I also don't think there is 'a correct way' unless it is first specified by the author(s) of the image what was the original objective.

K really does have the potential to be the douchiest show ever. I'm not actively hoping for it to be bad, but...okay, maybe a little.
I frequently read Jexhius' posts in a butler voice.
