Well... yeah, that's probably a large factor as well. But are we seriously going to get screwed over like this into the indefinite future because of reverse import fears or whatever it is? I mean, the only recent release that I can recall being out so quickly in the U.S. compared to its Japan release was The Garden of Words. I'm probably forgetting lots of others though; I don't pay as close attention to the entire R1 release schedule as some may think.

I've no idea. It'd be interesting to see what the average time between JP and NA region A releases would be in this context though.

Episode seven was another good outing for the show. Yajiro's stay within the well takes on a penal quality, a self-imposed punishment/exile whose reason he has never divulged to anyone. More questions regarding just what happened that day arises, but there's faith in the writing to satisfyingly deliver on that front. I like how the framing of the well now feels less like a peep-hole and more of a prison. It's a restrictive view which he has forced upon himself and the way that the moon is stressed links up with what Benten gazes upon, half-drunk. There's a longing there, and it suggests a similar sort of sin to expiate for the latter.

Needed more Kaisei.

I'm kind of shocked that this many people seem legit surprised at the Oreimo ending considering the mass hysteria in this thread when the light novel spoilers came out and the fact that people just stopped bothering to tag half those spoilers halfway through.

I determined I would hate this show from the time I watched episode 1, but it's been pretty fun keeping up with novel spoilers and watching the constant waifu wars breaking out because of this show so in a perverse twisted way I've almost grown fond of the show, despite never having actually watched it.

Aplix, parent company of AIC, is planning changes in their anime production process to cut the production period to 3 months, one third of the normal period, and the production costs to 1000000 yen, a fraction of the current cost.
They intend to do this by centralizing all of the production, including after recording and distribution, to their company, and assigning groups of around 3 animators for a specifc character's animation, instead of the current system of assigning individual animators by cut.
They expect this lowered cost will convince companies to advertise through anime.
A 13 episode TV series created under this system is planned to begin airing by september.

Just a step away from the good ol', Walt Disney's sponsored, one-per-animator 'assigned character' approach (well, at times all of the characters from a work, until the 70s definitive change). Different studios embracing alternatives in production methods to compete differently can't be necessarily bad on a declining industry environment, I think it opens other ways through their own tight management and resources without just recurring to mere externalization.

This is a test from which I'm eager to see the results; the many times patently improved polish but theatricality of character's movement handled by certain key animators with their specific nuances can give strongly individual or unique expressiveness and also a cohesive language to work with and take into account for direction.

Red got smacked in the face by the modern boys' toyetic anime aesthetic pretty hard.

I thought Red's cap was forward, not backward? He was the only character I knew that looked the coolest in his fanarts because of it. Either way I'm not sure I like the design but oh well. Pokemon Origins sounds cool I guess.

And here we stay, those who still love the old (ancient) Ken Sugimori art... (._. )

More like, rip 7th.

It could be fine if he just tones down the Linkin Park stuff.

As it has been talked recently a lot all about the Blue Exorcist movie, we can bask on the glory that is Mr. Sawano's soundtrack for it.

Congratulations!

Penguins.

Just wanted to point out :

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure she turned ( or was forced to ? ) into a witch by sheer force of will. Anyway , just so you know the game have various different endings just as fucked up

Spoiler

Whichever way you slice it, I feel like Kotohona was beyond despair and into some really crazy happiness instead.

The presence of the divine is not nearly as important as the presence of a fatal flaw in the protagonist leading to an inevitable downfall, and this is true for all tragedies. That dynamic is abundantly clear in School Days. Of course, Greek tragedies tend to get messier than Shakespearean tragedies, so while some things don't fit the comparison feels better, especially because Shakespeare liked to have somebody around to tie things up into a noble eulogy.

Right, well the only Greek Tragedies I've really "read" are Oedipus Rex and its sequel, Antigone. The rest of my experience with Greek Literature is either in Legends, or Homer's "Illiad" and "Oddysey." I agree, though; Makoto definitely had a tragic, fatal flaw that set all of this in motion, and the same can be said of Sekai and Kotonoha herself.

Hmmm....

Spoiler

I didn't respond to those scenes the way you did. With Wakaba, I kind of felt that she was strong enough to go on regardless, and with the true revelation of how Utena got her ring, it wasn't despairing as much as made clear what Utena's purpose was in the context of everything going on in the show.

Haha, you make some good points here.

I think it was just that UTENA SPOILERS

Spoiler

I was pretty latched onto Wakaba, and I was expecting Saionji to do something even worse to her. And it wasn't so much the revelation about how Utena got her ring as the statement that the one Eternal thing that the show had been building up to for so long was "Suffering" and not "Nobility" or "Love." Maybe "depressing" is the wrong word for what I felt in that context, so much as I found it very sad.

Wow Corvy kun. you really went all out.

I did not sleep until 5 AM. "The things I do for animu."

Although it's not in the same league as the endings of School Days (and from the looks of it, Oreimo), I wonder how Corvo would react to something like Rumbling Hearts?

I, for one, found the carnival of stupid in that show unbearable. At least School Days

Spoiler

turns out to be hilarious

Boy does it ever! Ungodly hour of the night and I'm just trying not to laugh out loud and wake my family.

dude.....I want to see your reaction to Arjuna lol

I think Hitokage's mentioned this show once or twice, too. I'll probably check it out at some point.

I don't lie yet people don't believe.

Well it's hard to believe anything can feel that way when you've first started out. For several episodes the viewer must endure mundane hijinks with only the slightest indication that things are gonna ramp up before they do, and when they do, the viewer still hasn't much indication of what's going to happen, and one's reaction to it is entirely based upon how one felt going into that. Since I saw

Spoiler

Makoto as a manipulative, abusive, amoral jerkass, seeing his world crumble down around him and Sekai knife him to death made it that much better. Seeing Sekai get knifed, well, that was just gory icing on the cake.

All you people talking about School Days need to read/watch/play/whatever Cross Days. You literally have only scratched the surface of the trolling abilities of the franchise.

Also, OreImo. lol

I still think OreImo is just one of those ones I'm not going to ever watch. Mostly because how it was going to end was apparent to me from the beginning, and I'm not going to sit through two seasons of that for that.

I know I'm late, but Corvo...just wow. Bravo. Brav-fucking-o.

Bravo to the show's writers. I really appreciated that the show sets itself up as something completely different, and slowly it amplifies all the regular harem tropes to such a degree that things get the way they do.

Spoiler

For instance, in another, less serious harem show, all the fan service would've been entirely innocent, instead of a sort of "take-that" to fan-service in harem shows. A pastiche of them, if you will.

Blame Region A or God.

Don't blame me, blame yourself or God?

Bravo Corvo. Bravo.

The whole of episode 5 hinges on the word Hyouka.

I really dont see what people see in either of those two.

School Days 11

So, with all due respect to Revolutionary Girl Utena and Casshern Sins, I think I just found

Spoiler

a new most depressing moment in anime.

Before I touch on that, though, I suppose I need to do this chronologically, now, don't I? Very well, then.

Spoiler

I legit laughed my ass off and it is almost 3 AM here, when I saw the girl with the hoola-hoop hair crawl out of Makoto's bed. Like I mean, she barely even knew him for most of this show and suddenly she just walks into his bed. There's no two ways about this now, Makoto is using black magic. And not sexomancy, which is a pure and wonderful art I learned about while reading The Name of the Wind. No, no, no. Makoto's using nothing short of witchcraft to get this much pussy. NO ONE in High School, let alone a loser of Makoto's proportions, should be getting this kind of tail this fast. He legitimately has sex with three women at once because so many women had fucked him already. As the credits for this episode rolled, I said "No way will those three have time to have sex with him too." Well boy was I wrong there!

Anyway, it was absolutely wondrous seeing Sekai stew in this episode, and also a little unnerving that discovering that she is pregnant with the child of a guy who hasn't seen her in weeks/days and has already moved on to fucking other women is the magical charm that snaps her out of her funk. If just realizing she was pregnant had done it, that would've been fine, but the fact that it isn't that, but the realization that the child is Makoto's that reassures her is sad. Not as sad as other things in this episode, but we're not there, not yet.

Oh no, before that, we see the collapse of the Ass Empire of Makoto I, and let me tell you, never has the Fall of Babylon been so beautiful. One by one every last woman in his life rejects him. Each and every one of them calls him out on his bullshit and blocks his calls, shutting him out and leaving him ostracized and labeled shameless and slutty. Does this sound familiar? It should. But Makoto, he's a sociopath champ! He takes it all in stride! It isn't his fault he came inside a woman! Nope! It isn't his fault that all the women he knows hate him now, and moreover, he does not know what he did to deserve such scorn. No, sir, Makoto can't think of a single thing! And when he finally does get down in the dumps, it isn't over the sheer volume of bullshit he's done in the last semester! He doesn't acknowledge that, and instead pines for a simpler time, in which he was still fucking multiple women without getting caught by any of them.

Broken, depressed, and a social outcast on Christmas Eve, Makoto is spared from further agony by the appearance of an angel. Before him appears a Katsura whose skin is white as a corpse's the driven snow. She tells him she believes in him, and she loves him, and at long, long last True Love Conquers All. Right?

NO.

Now we come to the part of this that is beyond tragic. Makoto's left this girl less than a shell. To say that she's empty is to underplay the harrowed state in which she is found. Throughout the episode she is seen haunting the places they used to go together, talking to the blocked voice message on her cellphone as if it were him, and caressing what I am most definitely certain is the Knife of Monte Cristo. By the end of the episode, even the voice in her phone is gone, its batteries have died. We're not told how much time has elapsed between these two episodes, but I'm assuming this is at least a full week, and in that time, no one has noticed the dead look in her eyes, the soulless, gaunt appearance of her face, or the fact that she is carrying on a loving conversation with someone who is not there.

At one point in the episode, Makoto, ecstatic for a chance to see Otome again, declares he has too much free time. As he says this, we are shown a pregnant and unconscious Sekai, the undead body of Katsura, stroking the Blade of Catharsis in her lap on the bench she and Makoto used to sit at, and upon which Sekai and Makoto first made out. These things continue to happen throughout the episode, driving home that Katsura is very much so a member of the walking dead as she stumbles about aimlessly, living a life that never happened.

But the thing that really makes this whole affair the most depressing moment I've ever seen in any anime ever, is that when the insane and erratic Katsura reunites with the monstrous, lascivious and predatory Makoto after goodness knows how long, the bastard tells her he loves her. And, in the most heart-breaking instant I've ever seen, this blatantly false and entirely selfish confession of love heals the girl, restoring light and motion to a body which has for several episodes been utterly devoid of any spark of life whatsoever. That the fleeting affection of this guy, who has been nothing but unfaithful, manipulative, and cruel to this poor girl almost from the moment he met her, is the thing which brings her out of the mires of agony, out of that dark place beyond the point where she had blamed herself for all things (as victims of abusive relationships often do), out of that Hell to which he himself had thrust her, is depressing in a way that seeing Wakaba with Saionji and seeing Casshern conclude that Death is Life never, ever was.

I'm not saying School Days is better than Revolutionary Girl Utena or Casshern Sins, mind you, only that this one moment is more depressing than any of the numerous fucked up and depressing moments in either of those shows.

Oh man this is gonna be great..

I'm curious, was it just naivety on the part who those who watched Oreimo, or does the ending come out of nowhere? It'd just seems odd that would be those who watched an entire two seasons, only to now get really angry over what is, lets be fair, something that seemed extremely obvious to onlookers.

Nah everybody knew. Some were in denial.

 

[dimb]

I don't think anyone was actually surprised, its just the last few episodes were just that awful since we now have other elements to add to the cringe-ness of the whole thing.

I still don't really understand. Qualitatively the OreImo S2 OVAs fall in line with the rest of the series while adhering to the ideology it has towed along this entire time. I think the ending is pretty entertaining and characters are finally open emotionally so stuff can climax properly.

Spoiler

Honestly the incest isn't really as creepy to me as the age difference stuff, and the most disappointing aspect to the ending is that it chickens out after it commits.

School Days 12- School is Over

Ah. Aha. Haha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh. Oh my. OH MY GOD AHAHAHAHA.

The boat. And the justice. And the camera angles.

OH MY GOD. I can't stop laughing. Who was it that said it? Jarmel? That this was one of the most cathartic moments in all of anime? Boy was he right! I'm just basking in this. Oh my GOD. It is 3:30 AM and I don't know what to say about this episode at all.

Spoiler

Where do I even begin? I mean, HOLY FUCK. Yeah, Katsura delivers the mother of all verbal smackdowns to Sekai, and she's like "you know what though? Since I've lost my sanity, I've become a much more forgiving person. Back the fuck off bitch and we'll all be fine here. BTWs, your best friend ever was also cheating on you." Seeing Sekai just fucking BREAK DOWN at that was something worthy of Phoenix Wright.

And then the revelation and SCATHING commentary that Sekai had done what she did to Katsura to Setsuna as well, that all of what she had done she did to get to Makoto. That is some God tier twisting, there, foreshadowed to hell and back by the Staring Girl's stare. God DAMN.

And then that cellphone message. Holy SHIT at that. "FAREWELL." Then SLASHER MOVIE. And Makoto, right to the very fucking end he was unrepentant. Seeing him go down like a poorly butchered pig was the most rewarding part of the experience by far, but let me tell you, what comes next. WHAT COMES NEXT. What comes next is something I won't forget for a good, long time.

Sekai has taken fucking EVERYTHING from Katsura. It wasn't enough to rob her of Makoto's love and of her own sanity, no, she had to go and kill the boy, too. And Katsura, not one to be fucked with anymore, has had enough. So she arranges for one last lunch atop the school roof. She packs the boxed lunch, just like the old days, and she brings Makoto along for the ride.

And then she proceeds to tear down the very notion that Sekai was ever pregnant to begin with. We've been lead to think it for episodes, now, that Sekai was, but even in the middle of her insane rage, Katsura has produced a very plausible situation in which that isn't true. They say that's what she's good at, after all, denying things. So she paints an intensely believable portrait of a scenario in which Sekai has been lying all along.

AND THEN SHE CHECKS TO MAKE SURE. THAT FUCKING KNIFE FIGHT, GUYS. SHE TAKES A FUCKING HACKSAW AND RIPS THE GIRL OPEN DOWN THE MIDDLE AND CHECKS TO MAKE SURE SHE WASN'T PREGNANT. And, in a bitter remark upon the emptiness to which she has been consigned for so long by Sekai, Katsura, staring down at her grisled remains, remarks only "Just as I thought. There's no one inside." HOLY SHIT.

But the best of all is that she finally gets that yacht ride with Makoto. Oh does she ever. Cradling his severed head, with the rest of his parts still neatly packed in the bag, she snuggles in the world's most romantic sunset and rides off with him into the happiest of days.

This is how a super villainess gets her origin story right here. You know what's really scary about it, though? Kyubey couldn't turn this girl into a witch if he tried, because in the end she is truly happy. Her mind, broken, fragmented, twisted and shattered has found the most perverse sense of joy possible out of this scenario. Carrying his rotting skull from place to place, the nameless female assassin will become feared throughout the underground for the way she carves up her victims with knives.

I got nothing left. Just. Holy shit.

SWEET. WONDERFUL. CATHARSIS.
One of the very finest anime ever produced.

It was totally going to be high art otherwise.

At least we get giant robots smashing suns with hammers.

But then that's it.

Do you mean specifically for Ghibli movies? Because WTK's main R1 Ghibli thread has a nice list of those, along with other countries.

Thanks for that. So Poppy Hill is coming really soon. Good stuff. Can finally watch it.
It cant be worse than Tales of Earthsea. Nothing can.

I'm kind of shocked that this many people seem legit surprised at the Oreimo ending considering the mass hysteria in this thread when the light novel spoilers came out and the fact that people just stopped bothering to tag half those spoilers halfway through.

I determined I would hate this show from the time I watched episode 1, but it's been pretty fun keeping up with novel spoilers and watching the constant waifu wars breaking out because of this show so in a perverse twisted way I've almost grown fond of the show, despite never having actually watched it.

It was so obvious from the very beginning, but I took a huge liking to Kuroneko and stuck with being a fan of her ever since. One of my favorite seiyuu, super cute with a hime cut, dresses like a catgirl, wears gothic lolita attire, and is tsundere for anime. Shes perfection.

This song, man. I can't even listen to it. The weird synth noises in the background just kinda give away what's really happening, there. Still a more appropriate vocal piece than Charice's super upbeat song at the end of FFXIII-2 as

the heroine lays dead in the hero's arms.

I think Hitokage's mentioned this show once or twice, too. I'll probably check it out at some point.

Whycome all these girls' animes are so messed up?

The song is pretty memorable especially in context lol.
Arjuna is another show on THE LIST and its worthy of your time. Its not as fucked up as Schol Days but...well actually its still pretty fucked up. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

God, where to begin with this song?

Hahah. Berserk is love. The outtakes are legendary. But its just altogether really good. Except those recent CG movies. Stay away from those.

O god there is a new opening and ending for Higschool DXD,

The ending is super lewd and I love it, I already like Xenobia in the novels but this season is making her go up in my ranking.

I I seriously need a gif of this part NSFW http://i.imgur.com/YwV42yO.jpg

I like her. I like her a lot.
