Yikes! Hope they can get that sorted out soon.

The way you describe it on paper is far clearer and neater than the approach the show actually took in terms of depicting its story.Huh. That's interesting. I guess I don't agree at all. It's a little overstuffed in terms of ideas, sure, but I think the actual story it wanted to tell was pretty simple. It wasn't Nonoko's story so much as her participation being a vehicle to tell Bell's story. I don't think it was the least interesting path either, because in such a setting, any path is pretty interesting. It's mostly about people having different perspective on life and death, but ultimately no one can escape it even though they think they have more agency than others.
Apparently their Twitter accounts were also compromised. Seems like the hack is pretty extensive and the intent isn't to troll but to damage their business directly, which is why the DNS were all flushed after the hack and no one can access the site now.
Pretty fucked up...
I found multiple facets to be undercooked and underdeveloped, now that I think about it everything other than Nonoko felt halfbaked.Huh. I thought it was one of Enokido's neater scripts. There are 3 components to the story: Bell and his life before. Bell and Nonoko training as Dragon Dentists. Whatshername and the guy she liked long ago. It's not confusing or messy.
Sure was a hell lot more satisfying than wasting 25 episodes of time on Captain Earth, or watching Bungo season 1, or the Star Driver movie. I really enjoyed it quite a lot.
Bungo Stray Dogs is good.
Season 1 was pretty bad...

Daaaammmmnnn. My wife and I get periodic attempts to hack our website, but it sounds like whoever wanted to take down ANN did so with intense aggression.
I watched quite a few Gundam Wing episodes last night. Funny how even with the AU series, the writers fall back to the tried and true "Earth/Space Colonies conflict" plotline.
That's most Gundam series. They need to be free to break their bonds with the UC and stop being slaves to colony wars. Like G Gundam.
That's supremely fucked up. The website better come back and whoever did this malicious shit needs to pay dearly for this.
The fuck did ANN ever do...
Anime fans continue to be the worst.Probably had too many "unflattering opinions' about certain anime.
I mean, I don't generally see eye to eye with ANNs takes on stuff, but I imagine they managed to piss off a particularly malicious fan who got sick of their shit and couldn't learn to not get worked up over their diverging opinions. That's usually how it goes if the hack doesn't have financial gain behind it.
It's certainly very stupid to go this far over anything like this.
At least now I'm not the only one that liked it. It's not really the best written story but it had some interesting ideas and the action was really cool. I didn't even like the original OVA that much, this was surprising in a good way for me.The Dragon Dentist
Finally got around to watching the TV movie thing they made out of the short. At first I thought it was a sort of reboot, but it turns out to be a continuation with a lot more context. I really liked it. It had a lot of the elements I enjoyed in the short - a weird but interesting setting, a story that doesn't wrap itself up neatly but you always know what it is trying to say, and a great mix of fantasy and period historical stuff. The production values were top notch, and aside from some of the dragon CG being more plasticy than I would like compared to the hand drawn portions of the backgrounds, it's a movie that looks really good. The character animation, music, action beats, and the emotional ups and downs definitely feels like a "Gainax" sort of story, via Khara staff. It probably reminded me of the original Gunbuster most of all.
I remember there were quite a few negative impressions for this back when it first aired. I don't remember why though. What didn't people like about it?
Bungo Stray Dogs is good.
Come one, we're self-deprecating enough already. Yes, we can speculate that it might've been someone upset at their favorite anime receiving criticism but unless we actually know that, let's keep the 'anime fans are shit' statements in check.
Got that Masamune-kun character concept and looks, hahaha
Why is Hotaru's design so good?
Eyes + red nails + gothic Lolita outfit + rich + eccentric + tights + heels
duh.
She has the Rinnegan.

I really hope Funimation has Vic Mignogna voice him when they start the dub of this.
That's supremely fucked up. The website better come back and whoever did this malicious shit needs to pay dearly for this.

Is he like Vic's character in Ouran?
To go that far as to take down the domain as well as all the twitter accounts that low-life needs to bleed and suffer.

That's hilarious.
