If we're talking about the ANN podcast, this comment from it really gets to me.

This was immediately followed by some kind of sarcasm indicator, right?

 

[Turin Turambar]

I do think AoT S2 will be better produced and will generally look better. They pushed it all the way back to Fall of this year so they don't have the 'rushed' excuse.

Then again it's also Wit so who knows.

Logic says after the success of the first season they will have more budget in the second season, which should give better production values. But who knows, anime business is weird.

How was Seraph of the End's production?

 

[Quasar]

Nisemonogatari 08 the toothbrush episode

...Why?

Because anime is awesome.

 

[Qurupeke]

I also don't have high hopes for Ace Attorney. It just can't work good enough in that format. The trials may be fun but they'll have to cut a lot of parts to make them possible, so it won't be as rewarding as in the game to find out the suspect. Also, the game is pretty static so I have trouble imagining how this will look. The story is great though, so at least, if the direction is good, it won't be bad.

"Oh, a sarcasm detector! Oh that's a real useful invention!"

Simpson's references aside, a sarcasm detector would probably be very useful online.

Everyone knows that S1 crashed and burned.

S2 was very solid though.

Having never played any of the games I don't really know what to expect. I know I normally avoid lawyering tv shows.

Ace Attorney works on the goofiest judiciary system in existence where every case has to be finished in three days and you can whip and throw coffee at other lawyers, so expect that

 

[KenjiGlove]

For anyone who didn't bother to continue watching Lupin after the initial episode I'd recommend to watch at least episode 13. Episode 10 with the wine party was also really good.

For those who watched all the episodes in a few bursts, which episodes did you like the most?

Spoiler

I hope it's at least 13

.

One thing I really like about the series is that it's able to end episodes in a very satisfying manner, even if an episode isn't that good the conclusion is super satisfying most of the times. The haunted house episode comes to mind. This is mostly due to the OST I guess.

 

[Qurupeke]

It's not your typical law stuff, don't worry. It will be more like a mystery show with comedy I guess, where the character has to find the killer, but the mystery is essentially solved thanks to testimonies and evidence in the courtroom.

That reminds me that Franziska Von Karma won't appear till season 2.

I don't know if one can even call the shenanigans that goes on in Ace Attorney "lawyering".

Not really that related but Nintendo did say that licensed anime are gonna happen.
I suspect there are going to be better options than the 3ds shop 240p resolution for the Shaft Palutena short.

I'm surprised it took this long, aside from Pokemon anime and Zelda/Pokemon manga of course. Other then that...there was the Fire Emblem OVAs and that Shaft Palutena thing.

I expect Animal Crossing because that series is massive in Japan. Maybe Splatoon as well, but Smash would be awesome.

 

[Hellwarden]

Having decided to never make another Metroid game, Nintendo decided to turn the series into a slice of life about Samus and her roommates.

Weirdo and potential lizard man Tomonobu Itagaki to make his directorial debut.

We need more Shaft Palutena.

Would watch.

 

[Crocodile]

I'm still behind on Lupin III 2015 but I've been really enjoying so far so its good to see others feeling the same

Ishii please go.

The man knows his audience - that's the exact type of thing you would say if you want lapsed Western anime fans to pop boners and give you Kickstarter money

Fixed.

No lies detected

Just a QQ: Was there an update on Under the Dog that prompted this aside or just another work Ishii is/was working on?

Well, Hozuki was solid, Empire of Corpses looks good, and apparently Seraph S2 was mostly solid. So we'll see.

I have zero hope that the PW anime will be good. I'm expecting another Danganronpa anime. Acts as a decent summary of the game's story and that's it.

Unlike Danganronpa, Ace Attorney has a skilled director handling the anime, so there's some hope for it.

Someone please tell me that Bubuki OP is unfinished.

It's actually fairly good then it just stops.

There are about a million IPs Nintendo has that would make great anime. It's just a matter of the tone, budget and talent they want to assign to them. You could have Kirby Right at Ya! redux or something like an Aliens TV show with Samus at the helm or a grand fantasy anime with the Fire Emblem/Kid Icarus cast, etc.

I was with you until the last sentence which I feel is a reference to something I don't get

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I completely forgot the Kirby anime. I guess this doesn't actually seem that out of turn for Nintendo if you count those Mario and Zelda cartoons

 

[BGBW]

They'll just be adapting the Super Mario-kun manga.

 

[javac]

Splatoon would make a great short anime.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I would actually want that.

I can only picture Smash anime being the next BlazBlue anime, sorry. Maybe it can even have Faylan to make some of it worth watching.

 

[Qurupeke]

I also want a Fire Emblem musical anime with Marth being a super saiyan, but it's never happening.

 

[PdotMichael]

The Kid Icarus short by Shaft still needs the 52 episodes treatment. Or at least a proper release.

 

[Narag]

They can make an updated version of Captain N!

I found what will be the ED song for the Super Mario Bros anime.

Pdot did you mention where Kizu part 1 ends? If not could you tell me or PM me

Ishii is the head writer on Bubuki Buranki, which has complete garbage writing.

 

[Clov]

Everyone knows that S1 crashed and burned.

S2 was very solid though.

Are there any plans for a S3? It was a fun series, but I wasn't very satisfied where it left off.

Splatoon would make a great short anime.

I'd love to see a 12 episode series of this. It could be really colorful and fun.

 

[wonzo]

metroid was dead the moment prime came out

 

[Dedication Through Light]

UtaPri s4 is this fall } http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-ne...y&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=manual-news

I cant wait to see what new outfits Starish will have and so much more goods to get. I hope an s5 is announced.

I would love to see you make a thread about this in Gaming.

Weird that a series would die when its best game came out but I guess that kind of happened with RE4

 

[javac]

All those KI:U shorts were bad, luckily the game was hype. Probably one of my favorite games.

 

[Hellwarden]

It already went slightly pass the manga.

There's nothing left to adapt right now. I would like to see more, but unless they veer off into non-canon territory, probably shouldn't expect more.

don't want an army of huelen tier ninthings chuckin a fit so nah

re4 is a transformative game in a once great franchise whereas prime was a mediocre fps made for a mediocre series

It ends

Yes, it's more or less just the introduction of Kizu but still pretty dense at content and amazing scenes. I went through the 5 stages of grief straight after the movie because waiting another 6 months for the next Kizu part is a nightmare.

Spoiler

Kizu doesn't have any monologues so the scene was quite similiar to the one in Bake but only more amazing because of the banter between Araragi and Hanekawa.

Ah, that's too bad. Oh well! I still have those little parody specials from the BDs to look forward to.

First we had all those posts saying Senjougahara is the worst and now this. This is a bad day for this thread.

I just wonder how much action will be in the movie. The novel seemed a lot more heavy on dialogues/monologues but it doesn't seem to be the case...

Yeah could be really fun, just imagining it now, no discernible dialogue, just inkling speak. One episode on Inkling Girl/Boy getting a new weapon, one on Callie and Marie arguing with one another as sisters do, obvious concert episode, an episode around Annie and Moe and the other shopkeepers, a silly Cap'n Cuttlefish backstory episode, 3 mins each, would be so cool and fresh
