I thought it was pretty good, or at least no worse than an average episode of Mushishi. Just longer.

Ezzum posted:Looks like an okay season. I was really excited for MushiShi s2, but the special kind of tempered my enthusiasm. It was pretty, but didn't quite match up in terms of narrative to the first season. I wouldn't expect the narrative to decline in quality because I don't remember anyone ever mentioning the manga declining in quality, but yes being excited about mushishi definitely goes against the spirit of the series.

That's also a good point. Also I guess nothing is really nothing is changing between season one. Same staff, etc.

I would not be surprised at all if the series itself kept the same opening. But yea, in anime most of the major creatives move around a lot, working on projects that are only one or two seasons. Terrible for job security, but cool for things like this.

Apparently the Sailor Moon thing has been "extra" confirmed for this Summer. Still no idea on the format or whatever. I updated the dates for poo poo in the OP. And that thing that was announced is this: April M3: That Black Steel New original anime by Satelight. It's being directed by Junichi Sato (Sailor Moon, Aria), composition is by Mari Okada (Hanasaku Iroha, Toradora, bunch of bad original stuff), with mechanicald esign by Shoji Kawamori (Eureka Seven, Macross, Aquarion). We have literally no idea what it's about. HMMMM.

Woah, poo poo. I was so busy rolling my eyes, I nearly scrolled on past this one. The first season was the most chill show in the world, so looking forward to some more of that.

Mari Okada wrote 9 episodes of one of my (if not the) favorite series, so I take offense to this! Seriously though, I'm not ready to drat Kawamori's non-designing skills just yet, though I'd probably feel more comfortable if he stuck to them. He might surprise!

I was curious so I looked Mari Okada up. That sure is a list of badly-written, incoherent, rambling shows... but also The Woman Named Fujiko Mine.  Even a broken clock's right twice a day, I guess.

Taking a look of the stuff she's been involved with, they run the gamut from irredeemable poo poo to some of my favourite series so it could go any way. Then again a couple of my favourite shows also involve Kawamori as more than a mecha designer. None are from after the late 90's, obviously though.

Fujiko Mine ruled and Aquarion EVOL was deece. She has written bad stuff too of course but I enjoy the original stuff she has worked on more often than not. I can't really begrudge a writer for doing stuff like writing scripts for an adaption of an incest light novel because hey, writers gotta eat too.

Pretty soon I'm going to need more shows to watch. A whole bunch of the shows I like are about to end. Log Horizon's on episode 24, Witch Craft Works is on episode 11, World Conquest Zvezda is on episode 10... Kill La Kill will be over soon, it's up to episode 22. Why are all the good shows ending at the same time?

Zvezda, Space Dandy, Noragami, Golden Time, Kill la Kill, D-Frag. Not sure about Magi but eh. How many episodes is Seki-kun?

https://twitter.com/evageeks/status/445322308732092417 New short slice-of-life anime announced about the daily life of Hideaki Anno, based on a manga written by his wife. At least I'm assuming it's SoL. ultimatemegax posted:No. The listing I provided said "各巻に未放送・未配信のオリジナルアニメを収録。" (Each box includes an un-televised, un-streamed original short.) That wouldn't be present if 8 out of the 21 episodes weren't airing somewhere. TV Tokyo and AT-X are on the committee and will likely air the shorts continuing into Spring.
