God damn.
It's quite unfortunate that the dub ended up screwing up the most important line.

Still at it, apparently. On a related note, feels good to see that after the exodus Yoshiaki Nishimura has been a busy man; helping Mr. Anno fund 'ateliers' salvaged from the remnants of Studio Ghibli (he sure is putting the NGE money to good use lately), with the creation of his own studio too, most probably preparing for production tasks on Hiromasa Yonebayashi next film (at STUDIO PONOC?), and remember how he was also going to be the producer of this next Mr. Takahata project too... one has to wonder when all the lined works will really come to fruition.
he probably thought that if yamada 2 was able to get near inami , someone else did too.Working!!! 05
Okay, seriously, who did Souta think this mysterious guy that Inami was in love with was? He'd already ruled out Yamada 2 as the mystery suitor, so besides her dad, that leaves one guy that she's ever talked to in her entire life, apparently.
Birthday, birthday time.
The movie where.EVERYONE FUCKING DIES
It was a looker though.
Can you elaborate on this? Monster is something else I haven't seen yet, but I've only ever heard positive things about it.
Liars every single one of them.
There is like, a 30-40 episode long stretch of Monster where important developments could be counted on the counted on one hand. The show spends an eternity on 1000 thousand different, superfluous side characters most of whom serve little or no purpose to the larger narrative.
I mean, there were quite a few critically and popularly acclaimed shows that fell flat for me but with most of them, I can tell what people see in them. Monster, with its combination of: hefty length, slow pacing, leaps of logic, stringing you along for the answers to the mysteries for 60 episodes only for those answers to be laughable, cop out ending is pretty much the only one I actively despise.
Edit: To not sound sound so overly negative, it's pretty well executed, it manages to really nail the mood and atmosphere in some scenes and while not being anything spectacular, the character arcs for most of the main cast are competent.
The thing that annoyed me about Monster was the repetition of flashbacks. Flashbacks can be a powerful narrative tool but the frequency of which they were used in Monster is mind numbing. Mind you, they do this to slowly unravel huge revelations that happened in the past and they are extremely important to the plot. After the umpteenth time of watching a flashback in which a character says 'Welcome home.', I was ready to blow my brains out.
It's a great anime but it could have trimmed a bit of fat off in the flashback department. That's my only complaint with it.
Who's ?
And the original manga never finished, lol.

Anime might officially be dead. Gen Urobuchi might actually be working with Trigger.

Two has-beens teaming up etc etc.
Sentai Filmworks are doing a Dub for Chaika. Didn't watch it as its not my cup of tea, but it seems to have its fans here.
I hope that you have a wonderful birthday

the possibilities of a really bad anime aren't really fun to imagineYeah the news isn't actually official or anything but at the slightest chance of that happening it would be really hilarious.
Just imagine the possibilities. But yeah don't take this as anything real.
When is Chaika coming on bluray?
No idea at this moment.
first episode isn't the greatest, everything that follows is much betterRegarding Soma:You weren't kidding about the lewd o_oWhat the actual *squid* just happened?

Actually Gen Urobuchi is working with PA Works for their 20th anniversary show: True Tears 2.
Yeah, the first few episodes are the worst at that. It get's better in pretty much every way very soon.Regarding Soma:You weren't kidding about the lewd o_oWhat the actual *squid* just happened?
I will say that the show seems to be privileging the military at the detriment of civilian commanders. Stargate SG-1, which was officially supported by the USAF, had the same tact. It also seems to privilege the man on the ground by just showing how soldiers can work despite the nature of both civilian and military commanders, which is fine because the Japanese soldiers are literally in no peril whatsoever. Like you know they'll never lose, so of course Itami always makes the right decision even if it's acting against orders or at least independently.It's tvtropes, I think. It doesn't really show up directly in the series too much, at least the manga). There's a few inklings of it specifically in how he setup the reasons for lack of US involvement and maybe on the depiction of US politicians though. It's a bit more amusing than anything unless the viewer has an axe to grind. There's actually a bit of lampshading of how stupid Japan has been in the manga too though I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, lol I guess it could be seen the other way too, lol
Happy Birthday Honoka!
Mine.
If Urobuchi is writing the new Trigger TV series, I can't see Imaishi directing. This would be so completely out of his ball park.
With so little evidence speculation runs rampant and all, but now that we are at it and knowing that Mr. Urobuchi followed both studios at the same time... could this just be a collaboration for another Japan Anima(tor)'s Exhibition short instead? I mean, TRIGGER Inc., has already been pretty involved with Studio Khara on the project as a whole...A lot of the real high level animators and directors from Gainax are at Khara so if Trigger/Khara are starting to do joint projects going forward, this is really fantastic news.
And Yet The Town Moves - Completed
So yeh, after my initial impressions on the first 2 episodes the show certainly did get better. Thankfully this wasn't really that episodic in nature and there was thought put into most of the characters (the granny though...that voice smh). Comedy wise however it never reached greatness for me. There was quite some fun stuff but most of the jokes were neither very clever nor original. Thanks to strong direction I still had a bunch good laughs, but yeh, it was merely good, not great for me.
The second half of the last episode hit fairly hard and I loved the juxtaposition of comedy with serious content there. Can be tough to make this work well but they succeeded. I haven't seen Gintama yet but it sounds like that show excels at this stuff, too.
In the end I really would've liked to see more of this show especially since it just got better along the way. 11 episode adaptation be damned, even if that probably helped with the high production values :/
Anyways, all in all I'd give it a 7/10.
OP and ED are stuck in my ear btw.
Best Wishes !Mine.
I wouldn't hmmmm praise the day before the sun is down ?Man Texhnolyze is nothing like what I expected. I expected a show that was up in its own ass over how deep it is, but instead I got a fairly interesting show about the machine vs the gangs with a bigger story and meaning behind it. Left it for last in my watch bet and it ended up being the best of the three.
And yes I didn't like Serial Experiment Lain all that much. Wasn't bad, just dated and a bit too weird.
Aikatsu 01-05
I've joined idol hell.
From the get go it's made clear that this is based on a game. The game mechanics aren't disguised to fit the narrative and feel out of place. I've been spoiled by Show by Rocks' CG sequences as Aikatsu's are very ugly by comparison, possibly even worse than Love Live's. Other than those small complaints I'm having fun with it.
