We still have a long ways to go before we reach acceptance.

We'll just have to take it one day at a time. We'll get through this horrible time together.

Just watch Daily Lives of Highschool Boys, it makes Nichijou looks like monkeys in a zoo.

Does it matter what you call it?

Getting involved with a teenage girl that you've raised since she was a little girl is creepy/disturbing no matter the term you use.

Nah man, that's a perfectly normal plot point in lots of old literature!

I saw men crying and heard Lacrimosa, it has to be good.

I know it had nothing to do with the quality of the final product, but it always bothers me when trailers aren't cut properly to their music. I mean, they get close at times, but it's clearly off.

It was posted a few pages back. I'm interested. Though it looks like some demon/monster rape is about to go down around the one minute mark. D:

So we've gone from innocuous female friendships to yuri to yiffing.

The cycle is unbroken.

 

[Ezalc]

God, I hope the Zetman anime is good.

Preview looks kind of awesome, it had crazy looking fights, smug looking bastards, naked looking boobs. Clearly it's a triple threat.

 

[Jex]

Man, pizzaroll! At least explain yourself a little...

In my opinion, the internal structure of a competent studio isn't something you can replicate through funding alone. Talent isn't enough, so the management (and nurture) of that talent is essential. With the type of time constraints and stressful situations to endure in that kind of industry, a tight supervision is only capable with experienced people ready to guide the teams. This among other things that would be characteristic of each working environment.

Look at you, explaining things in posts. That's far too reasonable for this forum.

Unacceptable! Don't worry, I'll PM a mod about this.

I think it's TMS Entertainment

IIRC they do Detective Conan.

New Prince of Tennis 5:
WHAT THE FUCK? Seriously, what the fuck? They cut out the best fucking match of all of them so they could add in some shitty filler? Yeah, fuck you IG. What a shitty adaptation. How do you ruin something so simple? Even DEEN could have handled this better.

Ugh, I had been looking forward to seeing

Spoiler

Sanada and Yukimura's glorious match

ever since the anime was announced, and they have it happen off screen? Screw you all. No one watch this shitty show. Just read the manga instead.

Mizuno the nurse! I had the feeling she would die since the start if the episode... and she did.

The Thermae Romae live action has Hiroshi Abe in it. It is automatically awesome.

[Cwarrior]

God, I hope the Zetman anime is good.

The manga's long running so how long is the anime going to be? long running or take the claymore/soul eater route of random rushed ending.

Lucky for me I didn't get to far in the manga before the anime was announced.

 

[Jex]

There's gonna be a live action and you are gonna love it.

Pff, just because they want to make far more money. The bastards.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Indeed.

But a poster already has that line as their tag.

 

[Branduil]

I know it had nothing to do with the quality of the final product, but it always bothers me when trailers aren't cut properly to their music. I mean, they get close at times, but it's clearly off.

It bothers me when trailer-makers won't stop using that song. It's a self-parody of EPIC TRAILER MUSAK at this point.

 

[Jex]

maybe

but I thought the last Shaft shows like Denpa, Madoka or Soredemo were well animated.

Parts of parts of those shows were well animated. But nearly all shows have 'spurts' of good animation at certain points, for example, a fight scene. The overall quality is usually a very different, by which I mean wildly inconsistent.

 

[Solune]

This is the one movie that Becky would make sense in!

Side characters don't get main roles after being rejected =(

 

[Jex]

I would easily recommend Rinne to people.

That's not exactly what I said.

Poor Becky.

I sometimes forget anime is a niche market even in Japan.

 

[Jex]

I wrote it in a bit of a hurry because class was about to end and I agree with you. I had planned to address jehxius' comments directly but before I even started my post morphed into a generalized defense of the visuals in Nise.

I will try to respond properly once I'm home. My phone is too slow and cunbersome for debate.

Well? I'm getting a beard waiting for this!

Bakemonogatari 5

In which

Araragi gropes an elementary schoolgirl

and

sometimes you just have to walk away

I still don't know how to deal with this show.

Like, it's neat that Araragi loves helping potential harem candidates people, but nothing happens in this show. Ever. And nothing happens in the art either. I'm glad we're done with this arc so I don't have to see the motion of those playground bars to give the impression that they're actually animating something.

I did like how they resolved the arc, though. It was smart and it developed Senjougahara and Araragi well. The second half of the episode is what I would have liked the show to be, instead of all the weird first breast-touching, and talking about nothing.

Continuing my "postapocalyptic Japan" thesis, I refuse to believe Araragi's mom exists until I see or hear her. Her being dead would explain why he finds it so awkward to be around the house on Mother's Day with his sisters trying to keep up this bizarre charade.

 

[cajunator]

That's not exactly what I said.

I took it as you were implying that Rinne is not a show worthy of recommending to others.

But that's the best part! Not the 'weird first breast-touching', the 'talking about nothing', just to be clear.

 

[Crash Station]

God, I hope the Zetman anime is good.

Looks pretty great. Might end up going too fast though unless this is planned to be long-running. As long as they cover the

trapped mansion

arc, I'll be satisfied. Should be amazing animated.

You don't have to worry about that.

Well, they did 103 episodes for the D.Gray-man adaptation, though I don't know how they ended it. Most likely this won't be a 1 cour show.

Stupid trash like this get's green-lit and yet we'll never see a second season of Aoi Hana. ;_;

 

[Crash Station]

D.Gray-man was in Shounen Jump at the time, so that isn't exactly uncommon. Hell, there are 9 ongoing ones airing now with 2 more potentially on the way.

Zetman on the other hand is a Seinen series which as far as I'm aware has never gotten a full adaptation, at least for long-running series. I hope I'm wrong because it's definitely solid with plenty of scenes that deserve to be animated, but it's probably only planned to be a 2 cour show, at least for now. Hopefully it does well since this seems to be one of the studios that will actually do long running shows what with Detective Conan and all.

When I say long-running, I mean like 100+ episodes airing alongside the ongoing manga.

There's long and then there's drawn-out, filler-riddled runs.

The manga is quite good, so let's hope they handle the adaptation well.

And then there is Inuyasha which is way too long.

At least the first few ED's were awesome.

I bought the first 54 episodes of it.
That was the interesting part though up until the wind scar attack or whatever it was called.

 

[iavi]

The first few? The best one didnt come until the 7th! Pun intended.

 

[BluWacky]

I was SO CLOSE to having an example with Lupin III - but the manga had already finished by the time the relevant anime started airing (the second season was 155 episodes). Otherwise I think you're restricted to kid's shows, either of the Shounen Jump variety or family stuff.

Zetman's 16 volumes long so far, right? The X TV series got that far in 16 episodes, I'm sure they could do it with Zetman

 

[Noirulus]

The first few? The best one didnt come until the 7th! Pun intended.

I only watched the dub version on TV, I don't think it ever went that far :/ Well, I lost interest in it pretty fast anyway..

Fukai Mori is still one of my fav ED's

Dat Namie Amuro. But I liked most of the ED songs....
