Yeah, I know. I just thought that was a random last season thing though.

Japan was awesome. Germany and China were terrible though.
Ohkawa does not name "Tarantino, Zack Snyder and the Cthulhu Mythos as inspiration". Please, if you cannot read the interview, don't make such claims. She was asked about what her impression of Blood is, moving into this project, and she says that Blood the Last Vampire had a impact on creative talents working in the industry both in Japan and overseas, including directors like Tarantino and Snyder who have declared themselves fans of the work. She feels that the Blood DNA continues to influence and impact popular culture.
As for the Cthulhu Mythos, yes that is definitely an influence on Blood-C itself, and her comments basically confirm that it would be correct to translate the name of the monsters in Blood-C as "The Old Ones" rather than whatever the hell Aniplex decided to go with. The intention for the tone to be Lovecraftian is intentional.
Someone on Animesuki requested for translations on the character profiles, so I'll just post them here as well for the 2-3 guys who might be interested. WARNING, BLOOD-C TV SPOILERS.

New art for Blood-C's movie by Kazuchika Kise, the character designer and animation director:
I really like how she barely looks like a Clamp character now. Definite improvement.
Now that's certainly a several times improvement over Blood-C's art, yes. But what about the story...
No, either don't watch it at all, or watch it uncensored.
Yeah, in real life I'm very squeamish, and don't like that stuff that much in movies either, but in anime it's not as bad... it's less realistic, so it doesn't bother me as much.
That is a pretty messed up episode, yeah. The show's okay overall though, as moronically stupid as it is. Being incredibly stupid and fanservicey is of course the whole point, but sometimes, like this episode, it does sort of cross the line.Ultimate Girls 7
Why did you do this to me, Cajun.
This.
the best part is the shaky eyes overlaying right before the EPIC HAND GRAB accompanied by vetti and cleo hilariously grimacing at each other.
also, i was just about to gif that knife throw. such a stupefying moment in animation history
I wish.
It's as badly animated as it is nonsensical. What if he hadn't caught it?
then the show would be lacking yet another absurd haircut

Am I the only one watching/enjoying Smile Precure?
No - there's plenty of people in this thread watching it. Come back on Sunday and you'll find discussion no doubt!

What an episode. So much action, so much grief, so much sadness, so much suffering.
Best show of the season? Best show of the season!
That final scene with Yomi
And lol at Saya
That was damn hilarious.

deleting all Mato messages was so sad =(
protecting that world.
anime's clearly trying to tell us we should never let people called saya protect things
K-On!! 17
I think it's safe to say that the new OP and ED are much better than the first one.
K-On!! 17
It's nice to see Yui start to realise that she can't rely on her sister forever. Those lyrics were pretty :firehawk ;_;
How would we enjoy it if it was good?
That's like wishing Riki-oh was good and you just don't really want that.
New short promotional video, Zenkichi's version, of Medaka Box:

MEDIA FACTORY had to re-upload the previous one taken down (http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35741748), and I think Lantis has learned their lesson (for... incompetence? Lack of communication?).

I'm surprised by good the episode was, just 2 episodes left to go.
the Yomi part was
really sad
I liked Nono, but Gunbuster was the better show, you should watch it first.
My best guess is it has something to do with the fact that, the first time, they messed up and forgot to reduce the volume of the OP song for most of the video. Probably didn't help that it made most of Medaka's speech difficult to hear as well.
Zenkichi sounds pretty good for how I imagined him to be.
Generally superior (for TV) animation. Good voice acting. Interesting characters. An entertaining storyline.
I genuinely don't understand what is supposed to be "trolling" about the show. Subverting an audience's expectations is not the same thing as insulting them, and as I've mentioned before (because I am Blood-C's defense force, apparently) the show really didn't subvert my expectations.
The whole "protect" thing never became ridiculously memetic for me, either, so I didn't latch on to taking the piss out of the show either.
Now that you mention it, I didn't realize the music was much louder on the previously uploaded video! But, taking it down because of that? Man, Lantis sure was picky...
ok you lost me at interesting characters
it has some of the worst characters of recent memory
the storyline was monster of the week with a cheap
Truman Show
the only thing they put effort into was the violent action scenes (which were quite clearly directed towards sick people) but they were censored to all hell in the tv show so it had no redeeming value to me.
actually im 99% sure that the censorship was more of a marketing ploy than actual censorship.
The wagon scene is the greatest scene in the first half of the show, easily.
If Gonzo had put any less effort into animating the horses they would be SCEJ.

You dont like her and her relationship with Shu? I thought it was touching as well as
making up with his classmates, too often shows would ditch them or forget about them, especially since the underlying nature f guilty crown is using his friends. It had to take a lot to forgive Souta since he did cause Haru's death, so that was a powerful scene

Might as well use this to post my thoughts on the episode.
It's a shame I had the fact Bossun
has a twin brother
With all said and done, I prefer Bossun's over Switch's. There was more shock value with Switch's although Bossun's had more meat overall. One thing which reduced some of the "shock" of Bossun's story is you can piece portions together beforehand. You simply have to observe the scenes when he's with his family.
There is character changing material brought upon with this arc. The fact
Bossun and Tsubaki are twin brothers completely changes their relationship. No longer are they simply two like people whom are at odds. Seeing their encounters from here on in should be plenty of fun.
I don't like how she is painted, as if she was a good mother. She's not a good mother imho and her reasoning is questionable. The fact she has known/had suspicions that her brother
killed her husband/Shu's father
put Shu in the shitty situation he is now, helped him try to kill Shu and then while she was under the shower she goes "I'm so sorry Shu, but I'm doing it to help you, now you're free!" (lol)
The Souta thing was laughable for me. The whole gang getting back together after the whole
betrayal they did and the way they did it
I had to bite my toungue (or fingers) when they did that in the crossover, one of those things that you wouldn't really notice unless pointed out, but I'm surprised they actually did that.
New Precure season confirmed for 2012.

Wait wait wait, Smile Precure is really going to last 22 epsiodes? o_O
Well 22eps + beating the end boss, which I'd assume would take 2 episodes.
No, he's kidding around. A bunch of Umakoshi's character design sheets for the new Saint Seiya appear to have leaked from somewhere.Wait wait wait, Smile Precure is really going to last 22 epsiodes?

Sorry, that was a joke. This character design is for Saint Seiya Omega by Yoshihiko Umakoshi, who was also character designer in Heartcatch Precure.
JOKING, not trolling.

Well, at least this guy is 15:What Toei does when they say characters that look like this:
Are 13.
For anyone else wondering, here's where these are coming from:

Well, good in a bad good bad sort of way.
It's on my list. I didn't realize it was so short or I would have seen it sooner.
