Trigger's and Madhouse's look neat. The other two, it's hard to tell anything from the artwork, plus the choice of studios gives me pause.

.... You didn't like episode 11? Or possibly 4? .... I don't even know what to say.
Ooh, pool sakuga in Madhouse's short? Will keep it on my radar.

I really shouldn't bite as it's late but please indulge me. Why do you think Urobuchi is a bad writer?

Then how about Animesuki?
Lol holy shit. There isn't even a troll 1. lololol.
That's even worse than MAL.

But it's another community on the "interwebs" that has a record of people claiming Fate/Zero as a largely "excellent" series.
Why troll with a 1 when you can troll with a 6.
Some men just want to watch the world burn...
Nope, those were clearly shill votes from whoever is running the vast internet conspiracy currently obscuring the truth that almost everyone hates Fate/Zero.
Actually something really weird is going on here.

This was the announced third Anime Mirai 2013 short back in June.
But it has now been replaced with this: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...ama-eri-kitamura-lead-aruvu-rezuru-anime-cast
I wonder what the rules regarding this Anime Mirai thing is, because Aruvu Rezuru was supposed to be an OVA adaptation, and by all accounts a commercial project...
Fucking brilliant.

Huh, ZEXCS has a short? Looking back, Studio Pierrot was originally listed for one of the shorts instead. I wonder why that changed.
Edit: Oh, I see you caught onto that already.
Yeah something was off, but I had to go do some research on it to make sure.
LOL. Don't believe this guy. AnimeGAF is the last place you come for recommendations. With the exception of a few people.

It is indeed late and I don't write very well. I just dislike how Urobuchi uses "dark" thematics as his selling point. They feel mature and gritty just for the sake of it. The scale of his stories also don't feel right. World ending scenarios but at the same time no real sense of tension. I also think the Holy Grail War is absurdly stupid and nothing can redeem it.
I really loved Madoka though but that's because of Shaft.
But I guess I should at least watch all of it before judging. Also, as shallow as that ANN review is I pretty much agree with it.
Anyway, I've been lurking for some time and Anime-gaf is a great place, carry on now
.It's true. So many are watching Sword Art Online thanks to these ill advised recommendations!
Sword Art Online is a guilty pleasure. I thought we recognized that already.
That includes me right? Right? Riiiight?

I don't understand... maybe you can fill me in on something if you know more about this Zexcs project? Thanks.

As long as you don't listen to the people who mention School Days.
It's really weird; I thought Anime Mirai was suppose to encourage original anime, so why is it sponsoring a (previously announced, no less!) adaptation. Plus, I would have thought this BOX-AiR problem that Aruvu Rezuru was a part of would be supplying the funding for it. Just what is going on?
How so? I'd like to see your reasoning behind this srsly.
but everyone should watch School Days
That includes me right? Right? Riiiight?
Who was it again that introduced me to Un-Go? I can't quite remember, but if I did, I would warn people against ever taking recommendations from that person.
It was originally supposed to be a series and was going to premiere this season, but then it was silently downgraded to an OVA with no time frame, and now apparently to this.
Right, this doesn't seem to be in the spirit of Anime Mirai at all. On that note, I'm also pretty puzzled by Gonzo's entry. It has bugged me since it was announced. The other studios are putting forth animators or new directors who don't have a lot of experience leading their own projects. But Koichi Chigira? He's a total veteran director in the industry. That seems kinda... dumb.
.... Did I tell you about how I had nightmares after watching that. Yeah... No!

Wait I'm confused, is Aruvu Rezuru now part of Anime Mirai? I'm reading something wrong here.
This is exactly why more people need to see it in all its glory! I can't fucking wait for the Aku no Hana anime for this very reason!!

That's nothing new for Anime Mirai though; Kizuna Ichigeki from the first series of shorts was directed by Mitsuru Hongo, who's also a veteran director.
Some of you guys are really sick people...
Yes. Apparently it is according to the official site. Pierrot's short has been dropped for some reason. It's really strange.
I wonder why they do this. It seems like a poor move if the initiative is supposed to give younger talent a chance to shine.

Haha, this anime was so bad.

That's an overstatement bro.
It's depressing, but I really think it's true. Probably because we have a few really smart posters here who actually know some things about film criticism, animation, and writing and can properly apply it to anime. I like to pretend I'm one of them but I must admit I often feel humbled by other posters in this thread. A big problem with lots of other forums and blogs is the people on them watch nothing but anime. That's not a recipe for constructive or insightful critiques.

Oda Nobuna no Yabou 4
Oh man, this show is far better than it ought to be. The second half with the surprise attack was brilliantly well done. Imagawa was spared at the end because of monkey boys interfering with fate again. He just can't let a pretty girl down, or old mustached men apparently...
Nobusumi is such a pimp, always getting all the girls.
Historical games aren't always 100% accurate? Bullshit.

I personally believe it's because a good portion of the population that inhabit AnimeGAF can clearly articulate their critique. Heck, you'll be hard pressed to identify places that can properly identify the good and bad elements of what they've watched. And if you expect most anime communities to be able to actually explain how those elements affected the show, then you seriously need to reexamine your standards.

I was interested in Aku no Hana due to the premise and director, but if it's another School Days my interest is completely gone.
I could see the reasoning in letting a veteran oversee and provide guidance for a group of younger staff, though I'm not sure if that happened in this case.
That's how I feel about it. I hesitate to call it good because it gets pretty stupid at times but it can be fairly entertaining.

It's School Days in a different sense than you're probably thinking.

Perhaps you should read the manga instead of letting anime gaffers lead you around with vague descriptions and flawed comparisons.
Who the fuck would do this to themself? I watch too many anime as it is. I can't imagine watching only anime, I would probably hang myself after a year.
Maybe when he said you shouldn't come to AnimeGAF for recommendations he was actually talking about himself.
