Okay, that is the perfect choice.

This one's even better because it resembles what these anime do to the viewer.

The show is extremely Dezaki. Tons of postcards, triple pans/zooms, etc. Semi-related to that image I posted, but I'm really impressed by how the show portrays Captain Ahab. Just the various eye art alone for him speaks volumes about what is going on inside his mind, and the VA (Ohtsuka) sells it perfectly. Various uses of lighting and shading add to this as well. There are some scenes with Ahab in this show so far that are really amazing. The entire couples minute leading up to that postcard image was incredible.

Dezaki really took "working with no animation budget" to it's logical conclusion, but in a good way.

Vampire Princess Miyu - 19

Best. Doll. Episode. Ever.

It had everything, and Miyu wasn't even in most of it.

Doll maker lives in an empty mansion full of just her dolls.
Looney doll maker in love with a human sized doll she made, they kiss and all
Maid gets hired, looney woman gets jealous.
Maid starts having an affair with the doll (WHAAAAA!?)
Looney doll maker goes crazy and starts stabbing... the doll and murders him with her chisel, for cheating on her (wait wut!?)
Doll pimp turns into a monster and Miyu kills it.
Mansion burns down, and while it's burning down the maid and looney woman kiss and become lovers (wtf!?)

It just kept escalating as the episode went on, amazing episode.

New Precure season confirmed for 2012.

No, he's kidding around. A bunch of Umakoshi's character design sheets for the new Saint Seiya appear to have leaked from somewhere.

What Toei does when they say characters that look like this:[/IMG]

Are 13.

Well, at least this guy is 15:

For anyone else wondering, here's where these are coming from:

I'm starting to believe Umakoshi may have Heartcatch'ed the new Saint Seiya too much for my liking. :/
Shut up.

edit: hey 7th are you making an official thread for this?

comes with free awful eastern european accent!

The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.

You're talking sarcastically but deep down I know that you respect and care for the show.

Umakoshi can design whatever he wants to. I will probablyl ike it. He just seems to know how to design things that make me hnnng.

I know, you already said.
I dont follow too much staff specifically, but if there's one character designer I have faith in, it's that guy.

Am I the only one watching/enjoying Smile Precure?

As, er, this thread sometimes moves quickly discussion about shows tends to occur on the same day that they are aired. If you stick around you'll see that it'll be discussed later on.

I've had sumomo mo momomo on my watchlist for ages. At least dating back to my anime club days. For some reason I never started watching it. Its cute and insane. I should probably like it.

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 understand this whole internet thing is quite new for some Japanese companies. At lest they're getting their.

It's funny cause watching Casshern Sins I remember thinking "man, a new Saint Seiya would look awesome with this style". I guess you really gotta be careful what you wish for.

I'm going to try to catch up on two weeks of anime today. Wish me luck.

Umakoshi is always 100% awesome. No exceptions. Possibly the best character designer working in anime right now.

Every anime should have Umakoshi character designs, with the occasional terrible exception to periodically remind us why every anime has Umakoshi designs.

I meant to do this sooner, but stuff.

Trapeze 10

I really liked this episode. It was especially interesting to me, because I also deal with anxiety and panic attacks, so I could relate a lot more closely to what the character in this episode was going through. [stuff...]I expected Usagi Drop to be good, but I had no idea what Trapeze would be like going in. I'm delighted with how excellent it is.

Well, with Usagi Drop you know what you're getting into, right? It's a show that can be neatly surmised in a single line, you can even glance at a screen-shot to easily confirm what ideas you might have about the show.

Trapeze, on the other hand, is a rather eccentric work with a very peculiar art style. Glancing over a description of a set of images wont really let you know if it's the kind of show that you might like. You really have to try it for yourself - and I'm glad you did.

Ungrateful infidel, you should be thankful to Master Umakoshi.
It's not like the original character designs looked their age to begin with. Seiya was supposed to be what, thirteen?

what is Trapeze comparable to?
I enjoyed the style of Tatami Galaxyy a lot so Im willing to try something else with a nonstandard design to it.

It's nice to see I've dropped down to a respectable post count compared to the last thread.
