So it looks like there was a big update on the site for the live stage production of Nobunaga the Fool too, giving us these delicious pieces of info:


Here's Sugita's Leonardo da Vinci. Brilliant scientist, and the chief architect behind the renaissance. He serves Arthur, but also has his own secret motivations. He goes with Jeanne to the Eastern Star because he wants to know follow the tracks of the ancient secrets.



And this is... Gaius Julius Caesar, a young general who becomes a knight at Arthur's round table. *cough* He also has his own secret ambitions. *cough* I'm dying. *cough* Help. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

KAWAMORI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant episode. It went over the top. The destruction was hilarious between extremely powerful dwarfs and the magic using elves. The last scene between Petraca and Miusel was excellent. The halftime scene was also quite good. Petraca was very cute after eating that bit of rice

King Arthur is in this? In a show about mecha?

Damn when does this start?

EDIT: Also pretty humorous that Caesar would work for Arthur, given the number of stories in which it is the other way around.

The most important question is would such a collage contain more little girls than guys or vice versa?

Overtime I still think there have to be more guys than girls, even if the last 6 or so years has flooded the market with girls.

There's only the three series with girl Nobunagas that I can recall: Sengoku Otome, Sengoku Collection, and Nobuna Oda

Pokemon XY
Geez, what a cliffhanger. Pokemon show, why you sooo slow? Took you 5 eps to get the childhood friend route unlocked--and you do it at the last second.

Anyway, assuming Ash is still 10 years old... I'm not sure it's long enough for him to forget because of time (He doesn't even look that much younger. 2 or 3 years at most?). Therefore, the only logical conclusions I can come up with are:

1) Ash has a twin brother that will bring about a love triangle.
2) Ash has been shocked one-too-many times by pikachu (or fell off a bridge) and ended up with amnesia.
3) Serena was brainwashed by Team Rocket and implanted with memories of Ash to bring her closer to him for the ultimate betrayal
4) Ash always thought she was a boy when they were little, so he can't recognize her anymore.
5) Serena only saw him in a dream/vision brought about by a legendary pokemon according to destiny for some grand purpose.
6) Ash remembers her but is playing hard to get.
7) Ash is an idiot and really forgot about her.

This was a good conclusion to the series. It expresses the bittersweet poignancy of time, technology, and people moving on, while finding time to fit in an action sequence in an interesting setting which underlines the character themes. If I hadn't figured it out by now, this makes it abundantly clear that it's Noa's show.

Strange that they left the Griffin plot dangling, unless the show was prematurely cancelled. Fortunately I know I can look forward to a resolution in the OVAs.

Talking about the Winter season premieres already? Let me save everybody some time:

Space Dandy Tier
Space Dandy

Who gives a shit, this isn't Space Dandy

Everything Else

Hopefully that cuts down on any unnecessary discussions

Zex Ignition seemed to me, before nobunaga the fool, to be a serious contender for anime most worth our time next season.

Ah yes, that thing I didn't tell you...

Vito posted the Nobunagun site update earlier. It is cool but here it is again: http://www.vap.co.jp/nobunagun/

But wait, there's more. Here's NOBUNAGA THE FOOL: http://www.nobunaga.tv/

Two Nobunagas. Two scifi crazy shows. All in Winter 2014!

The OVA's have some of the best Patlabor episodes around, so they're quite a treat.

Duckroll dropping #truthbombs.

I guess that just shows how relatively to majorly disappointing Gundam has been for some time.

I'm not ready to call it better than SEED just yet because there are long spaces in episodes where we know a fight is happening but they don't show us it. Other than that I'll agree.

Well, excluding Unicorn, which I like quite a bit. So other than SEED and Unicorn, I'll agree.

Kawamori is so crazy:

Say what you will about Kawamori but he can still design mechs well (assuming he did on this show).

Kill la Kill 6

So it seems I'm the only one who wasn't really convinced with this episode. It seemed "off" to me. I think the problem was not choosing to do the duel in a serious/epic or humoristic/light hearted way, and it was part and part, so the first fight with a 3rd start lost some impact, I expected a bit more of it. And I don't care for that suit/armor design, left me cold.
It also was a bit iffy in animation, and interesting action choreography.

Nah, I wasn't that overwhelmed with it either. As I stated earlier, I think the pacing is again too fast for its own good and hurts some of the characterization. I do think they did a good job with the fights in of themselves especially the 2nd one and making it intimidating.

I need a name.

She won't let you though.
 
Nothing is ever final. I wish there was at least one chart that would be up to date, but there could easily be more surprise announcements and delays in the coming weeks before winter.

I'm pretty sure Nisekoi is confirmed for winter, and I'm guessing Hanamonogatari is gonna be in the summer (although I suppose it could be in the fall).

I NEED that [best girl]Kanbaru[/best girl], she's shown up once in SS so far and it isn't enough.

Kanbaru is definitely best girl, and her lack of presence in this season has been disappointing. Maybe she'll show up in the next arc, Hitagi End. I have a feeling she might, but I have no idea what happens in Hitagi End.

By the way, just so I understand the insult, what exactly does it mean to be a "tryhard"?

Depends on the context. In shooters, it's people who try to use the best strategies and try to act like they know what they're doing when they're really a bunch of scrubs. Soundwhoring stuff. It means literally that, that you try too hard.

Being tryhard in League means you're trying too hard to win the game. lol. Too serious all the time. Not enough re and lax.

Girl was pretty terrible at her job. Like half the time the monster would eat people and only THEN would Saya even draw her sword. At least I assume people were eaten. Hard to tell with the frequent SHWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING of light every single time.

Someone who tries too hard, like to be popular or cultivate a certain image. Generally, their actions are completely transparent.

Although it's taken on a somewhat different meaning in online gaming.

Someone worse than you is a noob, someone better is a tryhard.

Lol yep. In regards to multiplayer games, anyway, it means the person insulting you was pretending not to be serious because he's ashamed of his skill. "I would've won if I actually tried!" and all that. You're not actually supposed to try and win because that's obviously not the point of multiplayer games. :V
 
lol at Hummingbird having Hanamonogatari instead of Nisekoi for Winter.

I wish it were true ;_;

Well, Hanamonogatari would be mostlikely a four episodes arc like Nekomonogatari (Black), so they could air it as special whenever they want like they did it with Nekomonogatari (Black) or like the incoming Hidamari Sunshine special at the end of the month.
