It's so weird to see a boys' toyetic show receive any kind of serious hype here. Not that I'm complaining!
And how both are adaptations in the loosest meaning of the term, really.
yeah and the writer doesn't even consider the movie legit

I honestly can't think of a reason to watch any of the Rebuild movies beyond their awesome action sequences, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to check out Rebuild 1.0.

You probably don't notice them toku forums lol.

Don't forget the supervising director is Shinji Takamatsu (Gintama, Daily Lives of High School Boys)!
I was so excited for Howl's Moving Castle that as soon as I heard the news that it would be Miyazaki's next project I checked the book out of the library and read it. That was about the only good thing that came out of the film.

Maybe because it's good?
I'm actually more excited about the actual director - Kunihiro Mori. He has a good sense of action pacing, and he has directed some pretty fun light hearted stuff including Mars Daybreak.

Yeah, I haven't seen Mars Daybreak but I'll take your word for it.
You avatar fits the post really well. I now feel kinda threatened by it...
It's more appropriate than you realize. Yayoi is a huge toku fan so she would probably like Gyrozetter too, hahah.
So easily misconstrued.

To be fair, I wouldn't trust a word out of that man's mouth, either.
Don't forget about Asuka fans getting dunked in 2.0. That's always enjoyable.
Accept any statements that reinforce your cynicism toward him and discard the rest!

What, you don't like them Euro-beats?
That does look pretty good, apart from the CG pigeons of course.
Gen Urobuchi has tweeted that he is indeed the writer for the drama CD on the second Fate/Zero BD-Box set as well. He comments that if the final lines of the series are considered Fate 0.5, then the drama CD here would be Fate 0.2. He also hints that Taiga will have a fairly large role in it.

But I believe in Anno! I just don't, you know, believe him.

I just can't support a CG mecha future.
This is the price that the industry has paid for abandoning 2D birds. Remember the good old days?

It's possible to have watched both you know.

Aside from the big actual event where they will announce the Magi anime cast on 9/30, they will also be broadcasting a Magi special on the Magi timeslot on 9/30 - a week before the show starts. This will probably be the usual special program where they introduce the show, have some guests, detail the announcements earlier that day, and show some exclusive footage to get people excited for the new show starting the following week.

But, because it's Magi they're going to troll you by having zero new footage.

That reminds me, what happened to all of you guys who were watching Glass Fleet?
Maybe if you were a two-timing scoundrel possessing a total lack of conviction.
I had to take an emergency sabbatical and Drago has been bro enough to wait for me.
You just need to open up to change. Don't fear what you don't understand. Embrace it.
Heh, the music does make it seem like some terrible AMV.

I understand ugly.
First they came for the cars,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a car enthusiast.
Then they came for the birds,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a bird enthusiast.
Then they came for the mecha,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a mecha enthusiast.
Then they came for all animated characters,
and there were no more hand-drawn mouths left to speak for me.

You guys just can't handle the music of Europe!
Not really. Her early fictionjunction stuff sounds different from her Kalafina stuff.
Because everybody loved idolmaster.

Interestingly the CG animation for Lady Bug isn't handled by Toei or any other Japanese studio, but by Method Animation, who is the co-production partner on the French side.
Actually the project was originally going to be a full CG movie, so be happy they decided to go with a TV series with some sweet 2D animation instead!

There sure has been a few guest appearances in this thread.
Is that the reason why the 3D elements don't even make the barest of attempts to integrate with the hand-drawn ones?

I can't believe /XX/ finally made it back here and you people are still fighting over waifus. Disgraceful.
Maybe we just need to have a separate thread entirely devoted to Waifu Appreciation and Arguments.
Bless France's inexplicable love of anime. Can you imagine executives of an animation company in any other western nation saying "Hey, wouldn't this look better in 2D?" I'll be elated if the fantastic animation extends beyond what we were exposed to in today's sizzle reel.
What, if anything, is Method's relationship to Zagtoon? Does their role extend beyond work on the CG for the show?
Kids don't care. Works fine for Yu-Gi-Oh, Precure, Battle Spirits, Jewelpet, Beyblade, and virtually every other children's anime.

Why argue about waifus when you can have them all if you follow the plan.
its like arguing over who is more disconnected from reality

I'm imagining animeGAF as a group of people sitting around a table in a middle ages era tavern. Conversation is carrying on as normal until one poster makes a comment that causes the room to fall completely silent. Another poster stands up, walks up to the first man, and slaps him across the face. Cut to two pale, hairy, half-naked men mudwrestling -- a flag with "Waifu Wars |OT|" flies over the entrance to the pit.
I was afraid to mention this, but I agree
Macross Zero is one of the better examples, and it disgusts me that its been more than 10 years and the standards are generally still not up to that level

It sure does suck when characters you feel bad for end up on the villain's side. Oh well, cool airship battles!
Looks like the match ups have been set once again, so the next few episodes should be crazy.

This might be a stupid question, but why is CG so terrible most of the time?
If you believe the legends.
budget and/or lack of experience, i guess. there's certainly cg that looks good.
Does Macross Zero come recommended?
Yeah, Hyouka is quite good, I finally started it yesterday. Although, I should probably hit up those 'boring' episodes before passing judgment, if only to test my resolve. Dat colour palette!
I would have made it through a couple of more episodes if it wasn't for that damn IRC. I spent an hour or so browsing through Pokemon cards after the fact, damn nostalgia...
