I've heard great things from many people, I just kinda forgot all about it. Good thing you folks mentioned it.
Lol after episode 6's ending I'll be surprised if you actually go to bed without watching 7 ahaha.
So I decided to check out the first couple episodes of Rokka, and it's pretty good.
Got to say, we're kinda supposed to dislike Goldof, but he really just wants to get it on with the sexy bunny girl, and who can't relate to him on that? He's the real hero of this story if you stop and think about it.
Generally speaking, the show looks good. The character designs may seem garnish at first, but the somewhat gentle color palate helps in that regard. The same can't be said of the CG monsters, because boy do they look rough.
Also, this little fucker...
...is gonna die horribly right? RIGHT?
No lie, though, Chamo's ability is strong as fuck.
Except our best MC, of course, The Most Tactical Man in the World.
Kind of wish the next episode was about Manjoume's fate instead of some random monkey. Still H20 to yield a Water Dragon was fantastic.
I dropped it well before that. I've read most of the spoilers people have posted.
I don't really have a great deal to say about this show, but I kind of came to cross it off my list. I think it's a phenomenally written show, a smart story about the formative nature of the past and its bearings on the present, even when it seems so far removed. At no point did the story feel like it took some wild turn, everything here was well constructed, plainly stated, and in many cases predictable. This element left a work that felt really honest and genuine. Without narrative flourishes or tricks there's not exactly an emotional punch, but I like what's accomplished here all the same.
What? It's been appropriately appreciated and rated as awesome.
I haven't either. Thing is due to school starting very soon and whatnot time isn't going to be in my favour so I'm probably gonna be sticking to the "dailies" for the season, and then once I get a break, I'll jump into it. That being said this week I'm mostly free... But Danganronpa is dropping on Tuesday.
Feels like this is the end result of crossing the streams between YA fiction's unearned gravitas and anime's shittiest tropes.
Ep was more in line with the good episodes from S2, action girl Perrine rocks, etc.
That's a shame. People fell in love with the first season.
I wonder if these Project Itoh movies are going to be good. Two out of three of them look like sci-fi, and you all know how I love me my sci-fi anime.
Harmony
Genocidal Organ
The Empire of Corpses
Guys, I need these to be good. I need them to be.
I had my overrated outdated garbage quota filled this year by Parasyte and Ore Monogatari. I don't feel like unearthing Ushio to Tora is breaking new ground or something. Dragonball, Jojo, Lupin, Dororon Enma-kun, Gatchaman, Yatterman, old properties find their way back as faithful adaptations, continuations, or new interpretations of old ideas all the time.
You know, i always wondered what would happen if another studio tried to make an anime similar in style to something like shaft.
This is my answer.
And holy shit i loved it!
I mean, it has a few problems (mostly in that the art feels aged even though its from 2012 (though this may be Crunchyroll's fault since their 1080p option for this one felt significantly less that that) and the ending does a slight asspull at the very last minute). I also could have used a lil less fanservice (though it didn't ruin the show or even get annoying. It's even used as an actually plot point regarding character psychology) But otherwise its damn great.
Amazing use of cuts and camera usage (probably the best POV cam i've seen in an anime bare none). This really feels like if Shaft made something and was reigned in to make it artistic but not crazy.
It really reminded me of bakemonogatari, gosick and ef a tail of memories (though the last one makes sense since its the same director).
I'll debate whether or not to buy this on blu-ray though.
Can anyone tell me if the quality on the blu-ray is actually proper 1080p and not the weird blurriness that Crunchy has?
Spin-off i guess?
so they did decide to adapt the yuri teasing one from ages ago. rip favaro, u will live on in votoms
But...but I don't want a new cast.
I want my delightful group of idiots back.
Well, I'm sure they'll probably make an appearance.
