That closet scene was perfect for a classic misunderstanding between characters but noooo everyones just gonna ignore the fact that Megumin had no pants on inside a dark room with the MC? smh

Honestly Wit being the studio shouldn't be a detriment for the OVA run. They would become a liability if it ever went to TV but that ain't happening until 2018 at the earliest.
The bigger problem is that it's a prequel in that I'm not sure how interesting the pre-manga stuff is going to be. It also depends on who the OVAs focus on, in that Chise's stuff would be more of the modern setting so I'm not sure how well the art direction will hold up if the OVAs are mostly in a city. If it's Elias heavy then I guess there's significantly more breathing room.
I don't think the PV was to the level of KyoAni doing it but they were probably never going to do this anyway so it's good enough.

This week: Konosuba getting kinda zzz. Characters have a very specific operating order and the show doesn't really push them outside those boundaries enough. Phantom World accomplishes something new with every episode. Great sense of scale on the Ruru episode through slick use of perspective, impactful/imposing motion from large objects in relation to Ruru.
Good point. I didn't see that part of the news!
Yeah, those POV shots in the early minutes were great.
Yes but again it is inconsistent. Some are released on BD later on as part of the release planned for a TV that expands on the OAD(s) - examples would be the first Yozakura OAD series, and the Rakugo OADs which were combined into the first episode of the anime.
Some OADs actually get BD releases in OAD form, but this is super rare. In fact, I know this has happened before but I'm blanking on a title. Maybe something by CLAMP? Not sure.
Most OADs are doomed to rot as DVD companions to yellowing manga for all eternity.

Animation and visually Konosuba and Phantom World are miles apart. Phantom looks really good most of the time and Konosuba is colorful, but doesn't hold a candle to it with the details.
I'm not sure what one has to do with the other. They are OADs, what are you expecting? They come out with each manga volume. Manga volumes tend to be compiled 4-5 months apart. It's totally normal and has nothing to do with production schedules or anime.
I mean more that they would have to shift resources from one of the OADs to finish AoT when everything goes to hell. By having it in 2017 and they air AoT in 2017, there might be some production timeframe overlap.
Or they could do what the majority of "main" studios who get contracted for OADs do if the schedule conflicts with stuff they actually need to work on - outsource it to any number of no-name studios like C2C to get the work done. Even BONES doesn't bother doing Noragami OADs in-house lol.

I love how the Primordial Majin basically has the universe for its body. That's a great touch.
That silent stare-down between it and the Fire, Water, and Earth Majins was fantastic. The sense of scale during that scene and the moment when the Primordial Majin showed up was almost at TTGL-levels.

Well at least this series have something kinda rare: it have some magic but most battles are base on 18-19th century-like technology(yeah, line Infantry.), and they already graduated from school in end of volume 1.

The question is how far will the Anime go and how far will it take before they face battle because I expect a lot of mock battles/competitions.
Need to watch Konosuba and Phantom World...
You're in for a ride! Glad to see more people picking it up.
I guess I'm not watching anything else. I prefer to remember the series fondly.

Don't worry they already face battlefield with death in volume 2, the author don't waste time with "introduce characters for 5+ volumes to actual start starts", so it's fine even if it's 1 cour.
That said it's pretty worrying that can madhouse doing good in large battlefield scene.

I wasn't really an anime watcher till about 2012, so I pretty much missed the boat, but I do remember my High School anime club just flipping out over this stuff, talking about how to get a hold of material in the first place. What a world we live in now, anime is so easily accessible that I see tons of first-time/new watchers have entered in.
At the same time, I did have the experience of trying to watch anime on a Blackberry at 240p (couldn't be anything larger or the player wouldn't play it) because of extremely limited internet, and man it is nigh on impossible to do so today.

yeah... that was just bad. even if you ignore the very ecchi parts the pacing was horrible as well. The only decent part was him feeling pity for bitch god over her int never raising, even then clearly someone went around yelling at people that there wasn't enough boob jiggle.
I expected it to end soon given how little was left to adapt in general. I imagine it will be back next spring though.

I'll watch both this and Hundred.
This because I thought the first season was simply "okay" so i wanna see if it fucks up in the second season. And Hundred because I'm REALLY curious as to how much like IS it will be

So, Ah! My goddess episode 11 is amazing. I laughed a ton. Episode 9 trying to do comedy was bad but for some reason episode 11, with the main character turning into
a freakin moped

This school is hardcore. Seems that Riko's primary flaw is her pride. While Mirai's greatest talent is doing the first non-dumb idea that comes to her mind. Interesting that the team pass/fail that was probably meant to help Mirai coast by just gave Riko a big break. Mirai did nothing wrong. Batty doesn't seem to mind helping out his enemies. Kind of hope he turns good. Haa grows fast. Still cute. Hopefully there aren't too many baby shenanigans this time. Chiffon occasionally did them okay, but Ai was just meh aside from her delinquent phase. Though Mofurun is technically a week older at most, and that thing is fine thus far. I'm actually liking Mirai more so far, to my surprise.

A reminder about how damn ugly this show is. Really not a fan of the art direction and the backgrounds are just poor.

Cool article. Man I remember I used to depend on most of my anime watching on that, how nostalgic! DTCP for Detective Conan was my favorite.
Gooooood. More people joining the fold!
Eureka 7 - [THE END]
I'm kinda exhausted and I'll probably do a second, more detailed post later, as this show toatally deserves it. Funny, I didn't like it much when I started it, but I ended up loving it...
Some breathtaking moments during the last few episodes, with 48 being by far the best episode of the show. Oh and that dance scene too. I'm still not sure what exactly happened in the endingespecially the scene that mirrored episode 26but that was close to End of Evangelion's level, just filled with plenty of love. And it was a happy ending.after Dewie's death and especially after Eureka's rescue
Overall, this series was definitely great, and I'm surprised as I thought it was supposed to be controversial. I mean, it certainly has its flaws, and that's why some people here disliked it (, but personally I enjoyed it.
An amazing series and I totally would recommend it.
*clap* *clap* *clap*
I really liked it as dumb as it was. I just found it really funny, especially when they stepped on Holland's face, but that's just my sense of humor.

I think my eyes glossed over at how bland all those character designs are.
Glorious. If the prequel material follows Chise it should be pretty bleak but yeah can't wait.

a lot of the controversy is because the start of the series isn't very good. you yourself said you didn't like it much when you started
really it takes a long time for it to hit its stride, like close to 20 if I recall right, which will cause a lot of people to drop it before then and hate it. they payoff for getting through that is generally regarded as worth it as far as I know though.
the second season didn't help people's views of the original either lol.

I think it works much better on a rewatch, because you know and can appreciate where everything's going, and you know that yes, even that dumb scene with Moondoggie is gonna have payoff later with character development.
