Yeah, the playing-music scenes are. You can tell as well, if you're paying attention, but it's done really well. I can't imagine the show working without them resorting to that technique.

That's what I assumed. Thanks!

Kore wa Zombie desu ka? of the dead 8



I can't believe they're adding

Spoiler

Ayumu's and his parents' killer

to the harem. This is amazing.

And can someone PLEASE gif Kyouko on the swing. One of the funniest things in the series.

Spoiler

She never killed his parents. They are on vacation. Unless they reveal it in this episode, but I doubt that.

 

[cajunator]

I really like the motion and the weight of characters in that .gif. It conveys the excitement and energy of the scene in a notable manner without looking unnatural and odd. It's also remarkable to see all the characters in the background actually react in their own unique ways rather than some generic 'turn head to centre of attention' thing.

It reminds me a lot of early disney film animation. So fluid. Really impressed with that scene.

Huh, could have sworn she did, but a lot of the plot in season 1 is a blur to me. Ah well, that makes it slightly better.

Yeah, that would be slightly more fucked up had she done that.

Do you remember Akaiwa telling some of the girls they could live with him for know because his parents were on vacation?

Habitual ways, huh? But yeah, isn't that kind of thing, a manga artist doing H-doujins of his own characters, somewhat uncommon?

As far as I've seen cases of it, yeah. Of those artists that continue doing those type of works, as some commenced on the 'ero' genre, many keep on like parallel lines the production of both 'non-H' mainstream and 'H' pet-peeve (including self-published) works to try different things more freely. Their editors wouldn't like it otherwise, so even under pseudonyms they take on other characters.

One example I like; old original GAiNAXers, members or other people related to the studio have always shown a pretty liberal stance on how their fans should treat their properties, however the majority preferred to tackle the properties of others for explicit issues from associated 'dōjin' circles, like CHOSEN AME (朝鮮&#39156 or UROBOROS (ウロボロ&#12473.

I like how the front-left dude tries to play it off after he jumps by going into an awkward "I'm trying to look casual" pose.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Damn fluid animation. It really is perfect for a show like KotS, where realism is something to be desired and sought after.

Was there ever word on whether some of the animation in Apollon is rotoscoped? I remember some people mentioning it a while ago.

Here, although if I remember correctly this related article was already posted on this thread:

I'm guessing Shaft got complaints from insecure otaku, they have removed ALL manservice from Nisemonogatari's BD release:

So did they uncensor all the loli shots?

Every single one of them, yes.

 

[RurouniZel]

Yeah, it really was like something out of a old Disney short or something. Really awesome. ^^;

 

[Haly]

I think it was mentioned in the thread that they record live sessions but only used those as a reference.

Also, my manservice ;-;

 

[cajunator]

I'm guessing Shaft got complaints from insecure otaku, they have removed ALL manservice from Nisemonogatari's BD release:

I can't help but wonder if they really save any money at all by redoing everything. shaft always cuts corners only to redo practically the whole thing later for BR release.
Does any other studio do this?

 

[Saiyar]

Do you really need to ask?

 

[Chet Rippo]

Why is there a tub in the middle of a church?

 

[dimb]

Why is there a tub in the middle of a church?

That's the Araragi bathroom.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Disgusting.

Why is there a tub in the middle of a church?

Araragi's family hired crazy interior designers.

Ripped Arararararagi abs make anime fans insecure indeed. Meh.

 

[7Th]

Also, my manservice ;-;

So much for the argument that the nakedness of the scene was meant to put Araragi and Shinobu in equal grounds. In the end, it turned out to be nothing but shameless lolifan pandering. Reminds me of the whole "Mami's empty house represents her loneliness" thing from Madoka episode 2.

[tiff]

That's what really matters.

 

[Dresden]

Dumb pics aside, that scene is . . . simple. The shift from manservice to fanservice is indicative of the kind of transitive experience that Nisemonogatari was for the characters. Shaft is making a point via BD release changes that even nudity is immaterial.

 

[Chet Rippo]

That's the Araragi bathroom.

But stained glass? Where's the toilet and sink?

Sports bullshit in a "sports" anime, I should have expected that.

I really wanted them to lose so they can learn to be a better team the hard way, but whatever, this outcome will do for now.

Once I clicked it I realized that I had already read it

I guess it just slipped my mind.

Is bath water even that clear anyway.

It's a very big room. I'm sure they're somewhere.

Anyone with sense saw the scene for what it was right away.

But stained glass? Where's the toilet and sink?

It's a large bathroom.

Why are we talking about Shaft's transgressions against their fanbase when we can instead be talking about Bahi JD?

That's perfect advertising for the BD releases.

 

[7Th]

Because the current "kawaii Moe" boom is really destroying the heart of japanese animation and weakens the people in it.

I don't really think anyone find that's surprising though.

Also, further proof that SHAFT's BD changes only make things worse!

This is how I envision most in-depth analysis of anime in this thread.

That's perfect advertising for the BD releases.

It definitely is. "Wanna see the cute girl nekkid? FUCK YOU BUY THE BLURAYS".

It does seem to work.

The first episode of the ONA series to those curious.

 

[SDBurton]

I mean, Zombie has always been a harem. It's just that this season, it stopped being about anything other than the harem.

I'm okay with that, especially when they give Tomonori more screen time.

 

[Envelope]

Great job by Bahi, I hope we'll be seeing more of his work in future productions!

Anyway, I can't believe some of you voted for Asuka over Yamada, wtf is wrong with you.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Shit: why get rid of that, then? Can't they just be honest and keep the service intact?

I guess you could say that this BD just got—SHAFTed...

Yessssssss! I remember watching some short video of that from a game or something and really wanting to see an anime of it because it looked interesting and cute. Excited!

Yawn.

Having just graduated with a degree in English Literature, I feel your pain!

No no, it already has destroyed Japanese animation. That, and the death of cell animation.

Was kind of wondering that also. Do you guys like Asuka that much?
Over YAMADA?

 

[tiff]

I had to think about it for a second but Yamada's too cute.

 

[cajunator]

I had to think about it for a second but Yamada's too cute.

I have a spontaneous and positive reaction to Cute.
Hence I didn't even look at who Yamada was against until I picked her.
