Well, that's good. I hope for the sake of those that like the show that the stuff from that episode is a one time mistake. No need to spoil their dreams any more.
I don't think budget or the quality of animation is the worry, it's just... everything else. The problem with the writing was clear from day one. Then all the other stuff followed.

That's not a mistake, that's a bonus. You can never have too many Chie's.
:wonzo
Wow.
Thats fucking awful.
Yeah definitely feel for that guy.
His work is highly important but inbetweens are necessary to make his work effective.
No.
They did a great job with Sora no Woto and Kannagi.

Well, at least A-1 hasn't made a mistake like this yet.
Ever since someone pointed that out, it's become one of my favorite animation errors.
I'm sure they have. Toei does that shit often. I wouldn't be surprised if A1 did in Fairy Tail or something.
One Chie is too many Chies.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Don't kill me Chie fans.....
sort of

It just looks weird... I imagine if I watched The Hobbit in HFR, this is what it would look like. lol
Maybe 7th was right, TV anime is still a lot more so you don't really notice that the character movements are janky. Or maybe it's some mental process that fills in the missing frames and I just don't notice what TV anime looks like.
At that point, I wonder if it looked weird because the animation is somewhere between whatever TV anime looks like and 24fps. By the time I finished Momo, I gotten used to it (it only took 3 hours if you count the two movies lol), but it just felt off for some reason.
Speaking of which though, I don't remember noticing the weird look when I watched Arrietty and Poppy Hill. I don't know if I just didn't care at the time or if Ghibli is just that good though.
All you need is a dead relative and off you go!

Oh right, A Letter to Momo. I'm not quite sure what I think about it. At the very least, it's much better than Toshokan Sensou. I almost wonder if the guys that were working on Toshokan hated the guys that were working on Momo because they knew they were stuck on the lower budget and less prestigious cash-grab franchise movie. It reminds me of how Volition was split between Saints Row 3 and the bad Red Faction game last year.
The movie itself was a strange mix of E.T. and Natsume, which I think is fine since it draws directly from a readily identifiable culture. I figure all those shitty ghost hunting shows and Paranormal Activity movies have ruined ghosts and creatures for American audiences anyway. It's just that the middle section was a bit weird... for me, it wasn't clear how Momo became friends with the yokai. It's more like she's forced to put up with them and their annoyances before it almost completely ruins her life. It took a bit away from the last act which should have felt like Iron Giant but instead fell a little flat.
That said, it got a bit misty in the final scene. What a great :firehawk moment.
Nice boat(s).
I'm glad I finally got this out of the way though. That said, I've come to realize that Japan/Asia really, REALLY likes to go back to the "dead family member" well over and over again. I mean, I can understand why - particularly in Asia - but it makes a lot of the "serious" stories a bit formulaic. But hey, at least there was no fake-incest drama like in some other anime.
Deen has made some REALLY cheap shows.
I love them to death though.
Well the in betweeners screwed them.
There is no wy to tell who was at fault.
Never forget!
Damn.
Really? I wonder how much time in an average Space Bros. episode is just stills.
Look at the wall.
Has this mistake been documented before in other shows?
Believe in Yoshino.
Akane base design isn't so bad, it's just the animators can't draw her well. She always seems to have droopy eyes. This is why smirking Akane or puffing Akane look so much better. No droppy eyes.
Now you know why everyone (sane) hates her. She is the Kirito of the iDOLM@STER universe.
Music to me ears.
HA HA HA.
What better song is there to get your groove on to?
Would we have to put all out gifs through the Tumblr filter?
The other day I was told that someone thought Billichu (or Emitan as she goes by now) och moi were the same person (guess I come off more girly than I realised) so there is more logic in DTL's list than I gave it credit for.
Appealing to the Christmas Cake market.

My Persona 4 collection 1 is here, just waiting for collection 2 to come in by this Saturday.
Don't sweat it. Only the insane will care.
Sometimes you wonder why they even bother. It would be cheaper just to sub and release.
Yes, throw away any doubts you have about based Yoshino!
:du(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
I don't even get half the names so I'm even worse.
Tamako Market had several disappearing cels, like the jellyfish in the coffee house, people in the background and edges of Dera's wings while flying close up.
Mondaiji got that same problem too with background objects just popping away. I believe I gif'd that scene...
Check that water seed behind her ear.

But the thing is that a lot of the problems don't even relate to the script.

Really good series. Athmosphere was like a mix of Mushishi and Aria. Some scary scenes and sadness but overall very lighthearted. It was nice to watch couple of episodes before going to bed as usually they left me with smile on my face. Got little teary during some episodes too... Animation was pretty decent and soundtrack was great. Really looking foward to inevitable fifth season (fourth season blu-rays sold over 10k per average and manga is selling well...)
Cat was also awesome

Also, hey, foreign companies don't care if we use their logos in our anime! How oddly random... even the K-On movie didn't have the Air Canada logo!
Funny enough, the lettering is so shit on that logo. It's like they didn't even bother using a ruler, let alone a stencil. lol

It's really impressive how this show manages to turn these fairly simple and uneventful happenings like fifth graders kicking a can around into these really poignant and engrossing tales of the wind. It really does end up leaving at a loss of words to describe it. Seriously though, if you haven't seen this then you're missing out on something really special. I say this as the next episode looks like it has the potential to be an something truly astounding.

I gave out a ton on Tin Chocolate hearts today to all the girls in my office. I just got one jelly doughnut as thanks from the receptionist.
I hate/am indifferent to jelly doughnuts.

It's been a while since I watched this, but yeah, this is still an excellent film. I can't help but feel it's under-appreciated. Why can't Okiura direct more stuff?

Huh.
To be fair, though, even things like Fate/Zero had at least a couple of clear animation errors (at least I seem to remember half of Sola-Ui's arm disappearing for a frame or two in one episode of series, and Wavers tie is hilariously inconsistent in some scenes). There was a pretty blatant continuity error with Nico pulling off her facemask in episode 5 of Love Live as well, but I guess that's a different kind of error all together (and that whole episode is a continuity mess if you actually stop and think about what's going on in it). KyoAni, at least, have a pretty good history of correcting the most blatant issues when they do the home releases, so I'd presume they'll correct that stuff with Tamako, at least.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with Magi, though. The only A1 production I can remember doing a deliberate broadcast-BD comparison for was iM@S for selected episodes, and aside from seemingly reanimating half of that Hibiki episode, there were only really sporadic, minor changes for the most part (like replacing all the hand drawn trains in the first episode with CG ones for no clear reason).
You'd hope that if they paid for the inbetweens for the Morgiana dance, they'd at least consider putting them in for the BD release, but I guess there'd still be a crapload of colouring and compositing to do or something.
It's not like everything Yoshino has ever written has been terrible, though. Setting aside a personal love for the HiME/ZHiME franchise, he has actually written a few legitimately good things in the past. I think Guilty Crown colours opinion on him way more than it probably should, though I admit he's not had a great batting average as of late (though there was nothing particularly wrong with adaptation work on Accel World, from what I remember, that wasn't inherently grounded in the original work).
(Don't mean to sound like a Magi apologist - I don't even watch the show or read the manga!)

On a completely unrelated note, has anybody seen my monitor cloth?

Possibly the most nostalgic episode so far, this does a nice job of quietly building on the same themes of maturity and loss of innocence that were in the last episode. The soundtrack is also pretty great.
Maybe someday, we'll all be able to get together and kick cans again.

I liked this flashlight effect. All the visual shorthand in this show for non-physical things (light, wind) is fun to see.

"it's not my fault ! i'm broke ATM . i need to buy 3 dvd/blu-rays sets and there are plenty of figurines that cost a lot ( too much )"
Ps: The picture i've posted has nothing to do with the fact that i may have or not someone in my life (IRL).
Ps+: That said i don't think i saw a tsuki figurine already .....
Yeah, everybody knows that. But if you didn't notice, production is, uh... not going very smoothly to say the least, and even became the target of running jokes. Among the staff themselves.
They actually reminded us this week (through Kagura) that they fucked up royally when they announced, about one year ago, that Sorachi had basically finished the story's planning, highlighting how well things were supposedly goint.
(Not shitting on the series or anything, it's my favourite thing ever. I'm just finding very amusing they can - or rather dare - joke so openly about this situation).
