Martian Successor Nadesico 03
Wat.
There was a recent Karneval anime ad. (OP: The "Henai no Rondo" by GRANRODEO). Cant wait!
Is Robotics;Notes worth watching? Quite liked the VN to Steins;Gate, but after watching 6 episodes of Robotics I can't say that I feel the same for that one. Is it going to pick up or can I stop watching? :S
Amagami SS Haruka Morishima arc
Really didn't like how the first 2 episodes went. Tachibana seemed to be desperate and it was sort off putting. Episode 3 and 4 were very good though.
I really didn't know much about the show so I guess it's about how Tachibana story would be like from each girl. I thought he was going to be a school playboy.
Wait .. you're watching the SS ( side stories ) before watching the main arcs ?
Shouldn't you watch Amagami first to know each girl and setting before going for the SS ..SS lose all his interet if you haven't seen the original chapters animated or played the games.
Nice final boxart from Sentai:
Oh, lovely! I may have considered passing on Natsuyuki, but I'll probably pick it up anyway with that nice art. Will definitely pick up the BD for KOTS, of course.
Is it really laziness rather than efficiency though? Even in the cheaper motionless scenes I've found they tend to at least try to frame the scene in an interesting way. Also it's not like their shows are completely devoid of any fluid motion or well animated scenes. I don't know, I just find it odd that Evangelion gets praise for only needing 700 frames on the first episode but SHAFT well, gets the shaft in that department.
08th MS Team new short film OVA
This is the most beautiful 8 minute that I've seen, Goddammit Sunrise you still has it didn't you.
RIP Hand-drawn mech ;_____;
Why does that surprise you? Unicorn looks great!
Wait, does this mean the 08th MS Team is out on Blu-Ray? God damn!
I seem to remember a few people expressing interest in that mermaid anime Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san, so here's a 90-second PV for the show:

If you recognize the OP singer, that's Sumire Uesaka (aka Dekomori).
Well the thing is it just highlighted how easy it is to make a big post without thinking about it because one usually only considers the size of gifs forgetting 720p pngs can be even bigger. Really mobile GAF shouldn't be displaying images when you've disabled them.
This looks dumb yet entertaining, so naturally I'm picking it up.
Best news I heard all day. I knew about Miller's report but that's awesome.Why does that surprise you? Unicorn looks great!

It's borderline hilariousa actually. Every dramatic scene has thunderous soundcues everytime anything happens. After a while the joke wore off and I kept facepalming.Bwahahahaha your fault lol
More detail plz =P
Nozoki Ana 01
That was.... Interesting. Going in this completely blind about what it actually was I was quite taken aback from it. Definitely didn't expect... That... Anyone know if the manga is worth looking at?

Sure, and while Shaft shows can look cheap at times, you typically see shots that actually take advantage of the medium at least.I think that's partly due to a certain artistic laziness and probably more to do with the extra expense/effort in drawing things from different angles of moving a camera through a space in a manner that's not possible in reality. The later, in particular, either requires extensive use of CG or lots of background animation which is a lot of hard work.
You and your pantsu!I believe I wrote an essay on that subject.
Solid you say. (my innuendo detectors are broken after this)There's a Nozoki Ana anime?
The manga is... solid from what I can gather.
I might check it out. Another thing that shocked me was that it was 40 minutes long while I was expecting 20 minutes or so.It's definitely more pleasing to the eye and gets me pretty aroused. Might as well read it since the OVA was packed with the final volume.
I'm talking about what other studios do, rather than what SHAFT does.
SHAFT, rightly, get called out for their hugely inconsistent production values and inconsistent quality of direction combined with their tendency to pander to the creepiest section of the market.

Yeah it seemed to rush through quite a ton of stuff. I guess this added to the shock because you really don't expect it to escalate this quickly.And ironically I thought the pacing was too fast/rushed.
It's a good smutty read, although i stopped somewhere on volume 8, got to pick it back up sometime.
Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones etc. etc.The adaptation hasn't improved those Devil Survivor 2 character designs at all, as they continue to be awful.
Still need bigger tit rockets.The excellent repelling properties of the ultra smooth combat 72-type surface really works wonders!
Now I'm also confused!
Ah, I misunderstood then. Hopefully more interesting and active camera work gets used once it gets cheaper and easier to produce, until then I'll just be pleasantly surprised when it shows up outside of Kyoani.
Agreed on the SHAFT points though, which is a shame because it turns people off of the hidden gems in their body of work. funny enough I think "Summer Storm" and "And Yet the Town Moves" are their most consistent and least creepy shows but they can be argued to be their least distinctly SHAFT shows. Not sure if there's a correlation but you'd think with the money they're raking in they'd nail down their style while being consistent by now, oh well.
I believe a lot of those profits go straight to Aniplex, rather than SHAFT.

:kayos?Let's be confused together.

OK, this is stupid.
Nadesico really isn't that great.You're doing this just to hurt me, aren't you?

I think the idea only works when only one is Kayos'd.When :kayos'd, it's best to travel in pairs!
Interesting will read now.It skipped over quite a few chapters and ended up on chapter 20 or so in that 40 minutes. And those were good chapters too, though it's not like they were trying to advertise the manga since like I said, it was bundled with the final volume.
Dat bloody stream.The AnimeSongCollabo group is back with cover versions of a handful of this season's OP/ED songs. A sample of a few:
Magi ED2
Senran Kagura OP (a decent male cover version of it, in fact)
Vividred OP
BLOODY STREAM
My college anime club was showing Nadesico, and I was convinced it was the worst kind of harem crap after the first few episodes until I had to cover for someone at a showing, and caught episodes 12-15 as a result. The series then does a near 180 for me, and almost instantly became one of my favorite shows, due to how awesomely ridiculous the plot gets.Martian Successor Nadesico 06
