i dont have very high hopes for it even though it is being directed by one of KyoAni's best directors. the actual light novel was written by the guy who wrote full metal panic so...

KyoAni hasn;t done anything good in years and its getting more and more depressing every season that they announce another 3 months of boring sci-fi romance or just plain old boring romance.

I think Nichijou was the last thing they did I really liked, though there's a few shows in there I skipped completely. Hope is eternal, I suppose.

Yeah, and I liked that one stretch of episodes in Hyouka during the culture festival but it's been 3+ years then of mediocre to lame, even though of all of the stuff they just do looks so stellar. I'm looking forward to next time I can enjoy one of their shows again.

Trailer for Urobuchi's new 3DCG movie thing.

It might just be because its on youtube but that animation looks extremely choppy and bad

but for reals. i think without shinbo and shaft the madoka animes would have been pretty mediocre.

Absolutely, which is evident in that the third movie is the best madoka media and it is 100% due to the visual construction and very little to do with urobochi's writing

I'm hoping the Inou battle thing turns out to be good. I read the first chapter of the manga a while back, and while I love the premise (kids get superpowers but then just have a normal slice of life show with them), the main character seems massively irritating.

I think I heard somewhere that Kill La Kill didn't make Trigger as much money as you might think? If that's so, they could be in hot water if something bombs, as a young studio. That's probably why they're doing an adaptation of an existing property in the bread-and-butter club activity SoL genre.

The trailer there makes me feel more hopeful, at least. The animation looks good.

Zorak mentioned that KLK performed poorly which seems crazy to me because of its apparent popularity stateside but maybe the Japanese market didn't love it and all that really matters are those blu ray sales. How did KLK end up selling in Japan?

Yeah, given the depths of skeeze Trigger's staff are capable of when left to their own devices, having them do generic high-school harem bullshit honestly has its pros as well as its cons. Think I'll give this a shot.

I wish it was skeezier and everyone was wearing less clothing, but I haven't even watched it yet. just my hope is all

They pretend to dislike it to seem cool and disaffected because that's an easier way to live than to try to come to terms with their bad taste.

That's Japan for you I guess. "Sexual harassment is hilarious" just seems to be A Thing in Japanese media, I don't think it's otaku in particular. I've been watching Haruhi and am pretty disappointed that a main character literally only exists to be sexually harassed by Haruhi for laughs

You should watch more than one episode of Haruhi then.

That doesn't sound interesting at all.

The first step to a supernatural comedy like Inou Battle is to relate what's going on to everyday life, and then make a clever twist on it. That's what made The Devil is a Part Timer so popular here, it really did convince you that an ambitious dark lord would gets weirdly into selling fast food, and it was funny to think about a fast food worker secretly being a dark lord. Oh, and it was really well made, of course.

Inou Battle has nothing like that, just a bunch of character quirks piled together without forming into anything worth watching, and it doesn't have anything on it's mind other than how to best beg for the audience's attention by piling up a bunch of previously successful things. I think the only reason it's getting any attention is Trigger's name and that it's not aggressively bad like other shows which try the same thing.

I don't like that the CR subs don't translate chuuni, and also I don't like the animation, the characters, the style or the story.

Do they really expect to repeat the success of "Space Dandy" several times per season now? That show did well in the US, but a lot of that had to do with it having the same director as the most critically celebrated (not to mention one of the most popular) anime TV series ever made, and it appealed to more than just a niche audience.

I imagine the cost of producing and airing a dub is minimal such that any remote success will make their money back for a product they did not have to produce.

No idea but I wonder if they will keep the same studio and animation quality? Here's to 2015 for a fun series.

It's the same writer/director and staff supposedly, so hopefully yes.

They can't be laws because Parasyte has loads of gore. I'm pretty sure companies do that to artificially boost the Blu-Ray/DVD values.

Except for smoking, they don't show that ever I think.

There's tons of smoking in anime. Smoking doesn't have the stigma in Asian countries it does in the US; nicotine-stained teeth can be considered a mark of prosperity.
