Is it safe to say that the Tamako OP is the best KyoAni OP since Nichinou? I think so!

 

[kayos90]

I've heard anyone use the phrase "sex-related scenes" before.

Yes.

Is that... bad? T_T

Cool closet. I like dudes who dress classy.

Well considering that their previous OP was so bad that it had to be changed, and that Hyouka's was largely forgettable (while still well made), I agree.

 

[dakkumauji]

Considering what the actual Ixion Saga game is like, I wonder what Capcom's reaction to the anime is.

I wouldn't mind if this leads to Brain Base making more mobile phone game adaptations.

 

[Jex]

I asked dresden and wonzo about it before I posted, and they said the manga is pretty heavy on character acting, so that might be one reason.

Oh, okay, that makes a little more sense.

 

[kayos90]

Honestly, I prefer Hyouka OP2 than TM's OP. It's just too... idk... the body motions of Tamako is really weird.

Crunchyroll got AKB0048: next stage, every Sunday starting on January 13, at 7:30 am Pacific Time.

Crumbs, that's pretty freaking unexpected...

 

[Joe Molotov]

Anime is dead.

Again.

KyoAni killed anime so they could bring it back to life, better than it was before.

Yeah can't see how anyone can disagree.

The Tamako Market OP is on Youtube.

If the show isn't about doing magic tricks in a market, I'll be disappointed.

Spoiler

Will still watch

Yeah... You wouldn't get that this is about fucking mochi in the damn OP.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Eh, I've got enough. For now:

Nice set you have there.

Yikes.

On Your Mark - A music video by Hayao Miyazaki

I also watched it earlier today, funnily enough. But I do have a habit of revisiting it every now and then.

I quite like the song for this. The video is also great. Pretty sure I found out about in from GAF. Recommended for Miyazaki fans.

Any opportunity to post about Mr. Miyazaki's WATERCOLORS again is a good one (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=26907815&postcount=3519)!

GAINAX YOU CHEATS

Happy Birthday BluWacky!

Happy Birthday!

Man, nice we have Nafe to remind us (when is yours, by the way?)!

Implying they had wives to begin with. Anno himself still hadn't even got a girlfriend by the time he was working on Kare Kano.

Poor man, Mr. Anno just wanted to love and be loved at that sad era of his life!

Anyway, nowadays he is a happy man, although that awkwardness will probably never leave him!

I do not like this OP.

OP OTY confirmed.

BTOOOM! levels of savagery

Rofl. Nah, this is more criminal.

 

[cajunator]

I've been sitting here for a while now staring at the green one lick the screen every time she goes by.

I just noticed that. amazing.

People are talking about watching Tamako Market on Twitter. I'm so excited!

Kyoani about to fire up the squeemobile. I shall hitch a ride on it now.

That's her thing, she licks things.

I see, so she does!

They're definitely a thing. The catmaid ninja might be the only example in the show, though.

I love that she exists. LOVE IT.

The Tamako Market OP is on Youtube.

What? I wake up from my slumber to THIS?

Is that a jumpsuit? He gives no fucks about his outfit :lol

 

[Metrotab]

I'm not gonna watch the OP or the ED until I can watch the first episode of Tamako Market.

I'm totally hyped though.

 

[Jex]

Anno's too much of a man to give a crap about things like that.

 

[Jex]

I used to be such a pure person before I associated myself with you, AnimeGAF

Now I can never become a bride.

(Will watch... tomorrow)

Sure, that's what they all say.

Well, I definitely didn't think I'd be seeing such a video this afternoon. It's always a nifty surprise with you!

[Jex]

I absolutely loved the show. The wordplay was fascinating and the extremes of the characters was highly entertaining to watch. But I do see your point. It's an acquired taste. You may not enjoy Joshiraku then.

Unless you're a native Japanese speaker you'll never appreciate the intricacies and subtleties of the dialogue.

 

[RurouniZel]

My iPhone has them on there when I select a Japanese keyboard. (=ﾟω&#65439ﾉ

I was already corrupted. anime just molded me into something different.

Madhouse and Clamp present a touching story of the truest love there is.

Mouryou no Hako 1

I have good news for some of our fellow backloggers.

Actually, in its opening minute, Mouryou no Hako sets its expectations clearly. It's got a supernatural bent; it's a story of the intersection between the eternal and the ephemeral, about souls and spirits good and evil, about life and what comes afterward. So there are a few unsettling moments, which at this point seem meant to set us up for what comes afterwards. I'll be sure to keep an eye on mentions of angels or spirits, as well as dolls.

It's also set in the 1950s in Japan, which is kinda neat. There's a character introduced later in the episode who seems to be dealing with PTSD, so I wonder if they'll take it any further.

There's still a lot left for us to understand. We'll see how this plays out. I think I understand what Yoriko's relationship with Kanako is all about, but they're intentionally keeping us in the dark about one or two key things that could make a huge difference.

This should be a fun show to discuss as long as nobody tries to spoil anything. [...]

It's actually fairly difficult for me to talk about this series at all considering that it's based around a number of interlocking mysteries. Even some pretty general comments from myself might be giving stuff away. Suffice to say that the very opening scene of the series is deliberately confusing in a manner which makes it difficult to draw useful conclusions.

I think the only may for me to join in on this one will be to re-watch the episodes and write as if I wasn't aware of what's going to happen next, which in a way I am not as it's been a while since I watched the show.

Well that certainly isn't true for me.
Since 2000 I have watched a frightening amount of it.
Not that I'm complaining. I love this stuff so much.
It has taken up a large part of my free time, and cut way into my enjoyment of games.

 

[Jex]

Love Live 01

Another Idolm@ster style anime, oh well. Quite generic, introduction episode. CG dances galore. I'll give this 5 eps average before I choose to continue or drop.

See, this is why you're a dangerous person. Most other folk go for a three episode approach. You're a maverick.

Well, that depends on the kinds of work you watched. They might not have been particularly corrupting titles for all I know.

I have only been slightly corrupted then.
Good thing. I feel better about myself ^^

 

[Jex]

What exactly constitutes a corrupting title?

SAO.

I don't think so. I think we can take it as a sign that Mamoru Nagano fans read Newtype.

Box Office Mojo may not be the most accurate way of reporting Japanese grosses, but the lowest ranking film on their Japan yearly box office chart has taken $110k. As Gothicmade doesn't appear on that list, it has likely made less than that.

Of course for a film like this that's probably been shown on about 20 screens at most nationwide you're never going to take a huge amount of money. But it's been outgrossed by Strike Witches, Blood-C, and a Jewel Pet movie amongst others.

Poor Gothicmade, your fate was sealed at conception. You can't really expect a movie with much in the way of marketing or press (beyond hobbyist magazines) to get very far.
