Funny story. The editor is still a dick.
I have to say that the scene of Kinoshita flying through the sky in his mind was flat out hilarious. This episode had a lot of good comedic moments like that. Aoi's continued maturation as a leader is nice to see. She's really stepping up and providing a good example for Andou and Satou. She might even manage to whip Hiraoka into shape, but let's not hope for miracles or anything. It was nice to see a little bit of Zuka again, and her brief bit in the episode was nice as she had something of a learning experience.
Hopefully putting the PV together hasn't sidelined the production too much. They've only got about six weeks left until the show starts airing.

Ahh alright thanks. Anime route confirmed superior.
I'm quite okay with this. Weakest character by far both design and personality wise. Though I suppose I missed a bit of characterisation early on.I did find the stadium situation subpar both in regards of what goes down there and from the execution standpoint. Felt like they run out of budget at times.
I can certainly agree with asspulls but its the kind of show where it didn't even bother me that much. lol

Aria's color scheme is gross and Sweden is clearly best Aerial girl.
This show has really hit its stride in its second cour. Director-san remains moe, Honda gets buff (proving how working in animation is bad for your health), Aoi mentors the new folk, Zuka shows a talent in stage performance, and Tarou is still a total jackass. Really great stuff going on here.

That asshole editor! Someone murder him please. This time forcing the company to make a preview in a very tight schedule.
This time the focus is on the newer characters and Miyamori and Ema mentoring and encouraging them. Well, still Hiraoka remains a problem though. It also shows how much of a sunk time previews can be.

The talented director Mamoru Hatakeyama/Shinichi Omata's (Rozen Maiden 2013/Sankarea) next show has been revealed, and it has pretty neat subject matter. Mieko Hosoi on character designs too. Excited!
Ah okay.

Nah, can't agree with that.
Sure, they used to be a great studio. Haven't you noticed how much they've declined in recent years, though? Dried up funds and the NTV takeover killed it, all that remains is an empty shell. If it weren't for the government funded Anime Mirai, they'd be stuck making only safe, half-assed manga adaptations like HxH and Parasyte.
Interesting. I've been looking forward to this show since I discovered the OAD on the spring chart. Deen has me worried, but it seems they've been going through an upheaval since SHAFT staff migrated there. This director is one of those SHAFT talents. I'm loving the character designs also, and the source material seems like something special.
What did you guys think about Rozen Maiden?

Megumi's lack of presence is kinda reminding me of Akari over in Yuru Yuri - especially with how she never said a word until the end of the planning scene. I also enjoyed the parts with Utaha, because I can sympathize with the writers. As far as (Producer Arms!) MISTER EEEEEETHICAL goes, from what I can tell, the show seems to be saying that his idea of creating a VN isn't a bad thing, but that he's got his head too far up his own ass to make it happen. Plus the way Megumi shoots him down all the time invites the reader to sympathize with her a bit, too. I'm actually enjoying it, because it's kind of the opposite side of the coin from Shirobako's production process. The largely rigid world of companies and the freewheeling world of amateur work.

Accepting the risk of being yelled at, I just started getting into anime. Could somebody give me a rundown of what I should be watching. I just finished Knights of Sidonia and obviously I've seen Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist. So yeah, thanks.

The next real shounen-ey/action-ey thing that is on my radar is Gintama next season. I'm not even sure if there's anything that fits that bill airing at the moment.

Some excellent shows here to get you going. Welcome!
This begs the question: did you like any of those three? ~chu
*from the Night Raid at least. Plenty of more of similarly and more awful characters in the show as a whole.
Any genre you're particularly interested ?
Off the top of my hat;
Fate/Zero - Judging by the titles you listed, should be right up your alley.
Also:
FLCL
Gurren Lagann
Madoka Magica
Slow paced and dark:
Texhnolyze
Shigurui
Serial Experiments Lain
Edit: Have you seen both FMA's ?

Another strong episode, this time about being forced to make a quick PV. Remember the poor animators and production assistants the next time you see one!
Feels like the antisocial new guy is going to screw things up sooner or later. That or get fired, which would be pretty impressive considering the same studio employs Tarou.

Actually yes. I loved FMA and KoS and I thought Attack on Titan was pretty good. A lot of the series felt like needless filler to me.
I have seen both. And I guess I'd really be interested in anything that's well written. I probably won't watch anything over like three or four series as I'd like to diversify my taste in general.
The Tokyo Ghoul MC really is one of the most unlikable MCs I've seen in a long time. Not unlikeable in the way School Days Makoto is unlikeable, but more in that there's no reason to root for him as an MC. Like go back to the cafe people, they were far more likeable than this winge minge. Makoto at least was the reason to watch School Days, this guy is not the reason to watch Tokyo Ghoul.
Curse this need of mine to watch something I start to the end.

Do yourself a favor and go watch the Berserk: Golden Age Arc movie trilogy. It's CG animation but the action and story is great.
thank me later.
Also as said here's the usual Woof pimping of Fate Zero
Ignore the sequel of FZ though (aka ignore Fate Stay Night... though who knows you might like it)

Pretty sure editor guy was added to make Tarou look like a good human being.
Director is the best character, I hope the super shy timid girl becomes better.
Looks great, glad they decided to give the protag a personality this time
Those shoes are the mark of the devil this guy is Lucifer confirmed

And then watch the continuation.
Just go back to Kirbyguy. Its getting too complex.
So I was checking ANN for news and I see an advertisement for Gurren Lagann and what recommendation do I see in the corner?
"From the creators of Kill La Kill"
Of course they would market using the more recent example, as it is at this point better known by people currently into buying anime. The older crowd has largely moved on and GL might not be as familiar to the new people.
Lots of merchandise marketing and cuties and elaborate transformations and CG dancing.
Oh and really terrible monster designs.
Oh no...
What have I done?
SEIZON SEN-
what BEAR said.
Also good news for Ben-To...I think.
Yeah its hard to top Rock Over Japan. It was fucking amazing.
One of my friends looks like Rise. red hair, twintails and everything.
Yeah, I can't believe I am saying this, but the other shitbags make Tarou look okay.

I've heard it's PS2 quality CGI though...
Well, I haven't seen that trilogy because of it, but the TV version of Berserk is great, apart from containing very little animation you know :/

I just want to take this chance to say how much I loved the Sankarea adaptation. This guy took a turd for a manga and turned it into a great, sometimes even amazing, anime.
How is the Rozen Maiden series? I was thinking of getting into it just because he did the last season.
First ep is suspect as it's a ton of materials compressed into 24 minutes as setup and the ending is a little out there but everything in-between is excellent, with the early episodes highlighting the main character's isolation being some of the finest anime I've ever seen, ~chu.

It's not that bad. The first one is the most awkward looking, but if you can watch say Ronja (current anime) you can watch this. Fights are actually animated here and they're awesome.

As it's my sworn duty, I'm going to have to warn KingKiller that the Berserk movie trilogy has pretty terrible CG animation in many fight scenes (as NaDann pointed out, almost PS2 quality terrible), and recommend that they instead watch the original 90s TV anime of Berserk. There's controversy over how the TV version ends, but personally I liked it. I found it fitting, actually. Anyway, the point is that the TV anime is way better than the movies.
I can vouch for Fate/Zero, though. It's a pretty great action series. Worth your time if you're looking for something like that.
<Obligatory read the manga, anime sucks remark>*
Tokyo Ghoul Root A 05
We had inverted colours, light rays, black rays ... Now introducing ... a simple blur censorship ! Please be excited.
Better than the previous episode but still poor. The person who thought ending every single episode with a sappy english song is a good idea needs to be thoroughly slapped.
*It's true though. His actions make more sense there though he still makes some dumb decisions.

Damn, Ikebukuro must look like a madhouse if you are one of those greyed out passerbys. You got Ancient faeries and unstoppable girl idol serial killers duking it with a bunch of 80s delinquents along side a Russian assassin dressed like a mummy.
I really should have rewatched Season 1 because I'm having trouble remember who was who, what organization they fought for, what their motivations were, etc.

Mhh.. would like to see some properly animated fights actually. Eh, I'll probably check the movies out.
The first movie has the worst CGI, but I though it wasn't that bad. It mostly used during the war scenes when the big armies clash (and during some fights), but most of it is still drawn.
But if you want to do yourself a favor, don't watch or read any of Berserk. It won't do you any good.
Because you will just crave for more and in your heart you know that the manga will be still ongoing when you are dieing.
