No really, what would the grace period be before I can use that Another hnng gif, I could have got so much mileage out of it already!
That thread is a hazard to my health.
Basically, and apart from the information we already know (new original series, Mars kidnapping Athena and all that), Gō Wakabayashi just reiterates how they are going to use this story to show the role model that is Seiya for the new generation of Bronze Saints.
Kōga will have to also fight against (or maintain on their own) the reputation that the Pegasus Cloth earned after the miracles done by Seiya itself (that even surpassed the deities that are the Gold Saints), the notion that Pegasus means Seiya, a personal challenge for him.
To do that, they are keeping the same theme of sacrifice and friendship to make Kōga & friends achieve that goal, confronting their enemies in battles that only their combined efforts can make them victorious, an story where without compromise and the utmost of the efforts there isn't a reward. Mr. Wakabayashi says this is something not present enough as a theme on today's shows, and wants to achieve something like that again.
- I dislike the loose 'story structure'.
- I feel that this story structure creates much slower pacing than the original show.
- I dislike all the time spent on 'Araragi's harem members' which usually involves long scenes of banter coupled with crass fanservice.
Indeed, while those traits would be a negative in a typical anime show, they are what makes the -monogatari series what they are.I dunno, this seems more like a summary of why the show is awesome more than anything else.

At times like this, it's best to consult our Japanese sempais who have much experience with paying Japanese prices.Im still conflicted. Really conflicted if I want this.
My consumer whore self REALLY wants it, but my logical side keeps fighting it.
Which one will win?
Oh, and this is a really bad character design.
I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for "Nisioisin's inane ramblings coupled with D-team Shaft direction", then I imagine you'll be quite satisfied with what Nisemonogatari has been.
In Umakoshi we trust!Toei producer Wakabayashi Go confirms that the focus of the new Saint Seiya show will be on hand-to-hand combat rather than on spamming special moves. Umakoshi is gonna deliver, I just know it.
Yeah if you have "low" standards like most of the other SHAFT fans lolololololI dunno, this seems more like a summary of why the show is awesome more than anything else.
Nisemonogatari 10:
In a world that's already depicted as virtually empty, why is Mister Donut the most isolated place of all? I feel like there's symbolism going above my head.
Today, I learned that immortality tastes like donuts.

That doesn't sound like it mentions combat at all.
Yeah. What I posted is roughly the interview itself, 7Th confirmed that the "more importance will be given to melee combat" phrase was a text apart:That doesn't sound like it mentions combat at all.
I see it now, it's the text above:
肉弾戦はガチ
I don't really have any problems with the direction overall. Aside from that, yeah, this is more or less exactly what I was expecting and hoping for.
Yet when SHAFT is at their best - staff wise, it's the standard of quality you'd expect from a B-team from any other studio.Apart from the third episode and some one-off scenes (such as the toothbrush scene) the direction throughout the show has been incredibly flat and boring, occasionally reaching 'bad status' thanks to some poor editing. Nothing has really approached the level set by the first episode of Bakemonogatari. To call it SHAFT's D-tier is no exaggeration - Tatsuya Oishi hasn't even touched the show. Yukihiro Miyamoto has done the best work so far.

Oh no you din't.
Denpa was great.

This is precisely why you and jman2050 can't be trusted!
We can be trusted, but people just need to know where we're coming from.
I dunno, I don't really notice anything problematic about it. I subscribe to the idea that if I didn't notice any issues at the time of watching, then I can't be convinced there was a problem at any point afterwards.
I'll concede this. Not sure what Shaft was thinking there.
Then again, we now have another shot to go in the pantheon of you-know-whats

The SHAFT headtilts have always been a bit unlikely, physically, but that's just plain broken. There's no way her neck isn't snapped.
I don't think this is a healthy attitude to take. One should always be willing to reevaluate one's opinion of a work as one's critical skills sharpen.

Oh, it was definetenly too long. There was no way it needed to be eight episodes, it really didn't do the pacing any favours. There were also numerous scenes where they clearly had very little budget and so had to use a serious of stills/masking shots to make up for it. Not that doesn't happen anyway but it made those particular episodes feel quite turgid because literally nothing was moving.
Hibiki is pleased.

I'm guessing the animation quality continued to worsen after I dropped it at episode 4.

Issei definitely has his priorities straight when coming up with special moves.
The "Umakoshi going all out with the animation" part he used to spice-up his 4Chan's /a/ thread isn't there, as well...
Speaking of Tatsuya Oishi, I wonder what he's been up to lately. Doesn't seem to have worked on anything since Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru. Hopefully he's busy on Kizu.
I've seen a few impossible Shaft- tilts before, but that one is ridiculous.

Best ultimate move ever. This show is awesome. I don't think I ever had this much fun with an ecchi show. The characters are actually fun and somewhat relatable, which is quite rare for such a show.High School DxD 10

I'm not a critic though. I acknowledge that my tastes may change over a long period of time, but that scope doesn't apply for this argument. Logically, the only impression that actually matters when consuming entertainment is the first impression. Any review/impression I've made regarding a game I've played or anime I've watched has always been contextualized by the actual moment of experiencing it. I don't see how any other way makes sense from the perspective of the audience.
He is Kizu's director.

I understand and sympathize with those who simply want to be passive audience members mindlessly consuming entertainment, but I think the better and deeper approach is to be a critic as well. It's good to be able to distinguish between the amount of enjoyment you get out of something and its artistic quality. Just because it satisfies your particular fetishes doesn't make it well-made.
