Was it ever Spring? I don't remember an announcement.

Tried out both during the first episode but settled on sub eventually. I dunno, I can't stand the majority of English voice acting in anime and this isn't really an exception. The high pitched voices for girls are especially grating on me.

it's not shonen enough is what I was getting at
I think I read it somewhere but it seemed odd to release a S2 so soon.
Hmm, the movie seems to release in Spring so I guess, it won't be out until Summer, at best.
Hmm, stuttering on Koyomi's name. Seems familiar.

How does anime like this get an engdub but Mahouka Koukou and Kagepro didnt? They make as many baffling decisions as Sentai does.

Toonami has historically been action orientated.

At the very least, I highly recommend watching the rugby episode dubbed. There's a scene that I feel works at its best in English as opposed to Japanese that I dare not spoil.
But to each their own I guess.

I assume that since each Koyomi episode is about a different character they will just re use the OPs.

Studio White Fox is clearly the best studio out there.
And their crowning achievement is clearly the Super Sonico anime.
Who doesn't remember that gem?

No one is making 12 different openings for a short anime that gets streamed through a free app - there is already no way of making a single cent out of Koyomi.
Reusing previous openings also helps to put the short story in context of the timeline.

It's not that. The Toonami block wants action, which means at least some form of fighting. You can have a slice of life show as long as there's fighting.
On a personal level, I just really hate the inappropriate use of comedy in serious scenes. I've mentioned this before and the continuous, sudden extreme swings to try and change the mood pretty much the reason why I dropped it angrily.
It's a shame because I can totally connect with classical music seeing as I played piano seriously for a while and identify with it, and I really wanted to continue watching too.
That actually turned out better than you'd think given the property. Not that it was memorable. I just expected one long tasteless boob joke. Admittedly I only watched a couple of episodes.
But they made The Devil Is a Part-Timer!. I liked that, but that's about all.

White Fox has a better track record in the past 5 years than Bones, true story.
Well the future of all media is that. Though I'm not sure with anime its more worthwhile for say KyoAni to have their own app rather than just license it to other apps/services. certainly I'd hate to see all the major studios with their own apps simply due to the hassle of managing it all. Its bad enough now where I'm paying two subs to get my anime via apps.

When the episode opened with cinematic bars, I figured out pretty quickly who probably was in charge of this.
Plenty of neat stuff with transitions, camera work and liberty of colors throughout the episode.
While some information revealed wasn't something I had expected, the outcome had been since long though. However it still managed to feel exciting and emotional.

Kizu is coming all is forgiven.

This is frustrating to watch. Not because its bad, but because the author and his editor are so fucking incompetent that I want to jump through the screen and punch them both in the nuts.
The animation studio received repeated confirmation that they could proceed. Why can't they just tell the author to fuck off?

Where is the anime about some shit tier studio mangling a property and completely misinterpreting its themes and characters? That would have been a pretty good fit for P.A.Works...

Done watching Sakura Wars. Will write an impression. Very entertaining .
Just keep watching
Go for the next one, you will understand.
In any case, I guess important authors have that kind of control, a (small) contracted company can't say "fuck off" and be done, the parent company could rescind the contract, fine them or ruin their reputation in a way they don't get more jobs anymore.
There is an allusion to such a studio in Shirobako, Titanic Studios wasn't it?
All this talk of White Fox and no one mentioned Steins Gate, Is your order a rabbit or Katanagatari? For shame...
Heck even Jorumgand is enjoyable despite becoming completely non-sensical
Yeah I finished the episode and understand. I'm pretty happy with how it worked out, and really happy the editor got fired (At least, thats what was implied).
In general, I dislike anime original endings. I just don't see from a business perspective how a publisher can backtrack on something they have documented proof of accepting months beforehand. Its not like the animation studio didn't try to get the author involved - they did, repeatedly. They had to work with what they were given, and weren't at all at fault here. Seeing all their hard work go to waste (repeatedly) because of that idiot this cour editor was rage inducing. But I'm content with how it all worked out.
That said, the fact that they only now realized they could just email the author directly made me shake my head a little. But that scene where the director went to meet the guy was incredible.

I think somebody said that the editor was based on some real guy or something.
I was tempted to have "Do you want to watch an anime with me?" as a subtitle after finding this panel during my poster search. But this OP wasn't about what I want but what the community wants.

i wanted more wacky jokes (4kidz) in the OP.

Animation studios generally don't distribute their own works (unless it's ufotable's theater, for instance), they let production companies (such as Aniplex or Pony Canyon) handle that. There are lots of streaming services in Japan, and at least some have mobile apps. Koyomimonogatari is weird since it's being distributed in its own unique app, but the Monogatari franchise is popular enough that they can get away with it.

Prince of Stride Alternative Episode 2
Fun times getting to know a few others and play dress up. Loved lots of the outfits chosen.
Cant wait for next week for more STRIDE.
Also the ED [Be my steady] was fantastic, loved the colors and style chosen, and the song was epic.

Not fair, there's not a single showing in New England... #$$#/^#$
We just have a good arthouse theatre here, apparently they're also cycling through all the Ghibli stuff
It better come here! Aniplex has been pretty good with Canadian theaters before. We got Madoka Rebellion very soon after the States (I think only a few days later). Even the Anohana movie and Anthem of the Heart played here! I hope they don't skip out on Kizu for us.
Now if they could release news about things I care about, like Mushishi S2 on BD, and Canadian Kizu dates.

Lovely Complex - 01
Yeh this is undoubtedly going to be good. So thanks @ OniBarubary for bringing it up when discussing School Rumble a while ago.

lovely complex is a great show I don't know why you write it that way.

One and done. After episode 12 or 13 it got worse and worse.
Yup. I got so annoyed at some point that I just wished the girl would move the heck on from that wimp.
You shouldn't watch Kimi ni Todoke then.
Another show i love but it would probably drive you up the wall

I can't deal with the unnecessary drama that these kind of shows just shove down your throat. I liked what Ore Monogatari did precisely because it went in the opposite direction.
NaDannMaGoGo
Member
Well then I maybe don't need to be concerned that you had your issues with lovely complex, because Ore Monogatari is...not among my favorites to put it lightly.
But sure, there's often this problem when these kind of romances keep stalling because the ultimate goal is the (mutual) confession and you thus can't have that until the end. I mean School
KareKano is still my gold standard. Aoi Hana was great in its portrayal and pacing of relationships, too, but t'was cut even shorter in its adaptation than KareKano :[
PS: Don't tell me where Lovely Complex is heading in that regard. The less I know the better. Always good to form my opinion before having seen half the discussion already, too.

Ore Monogatari worked in manga form, but the humor didn't translate well in anime form and, if it's even possible, it was TOO diabeetus.
The good thing about Yami Shibai is that even when an episode falls flat it's no big loss since you only wasted three minutes at most.
The other good thing is that some of them are legit creepy thanks to the three minute runtime allowing them to ramp up the scare effectively.
