Just wanted to pop in and say that if anyone hasn't listened to the full Jinrui ED, "Yume no Naka no Watashi no Yume", they should go listen to both it and the B-side song on the single, "Hoshi ga Futte Komaru Kara". Great work by Masumi Ito here; love the instrumentation and rhythm choices.

My CD will be here from Amazon.co.jp one of these days. It's hard to hold off until then.

Definitely a tale of two halves for me. I really enjoyed the first half's bizarre setting, the crazy cast, the unique visuals, and the overall mystery to Linne's presence in Hell.

Spoiler

The movie lost me during the flashback to the world's first murder

. Consequently, I was left bored in the second hour for the most part while waiting for it to end.

Not to say there wasn't some high points in the latter half, namely elements like

Spoiler

Mario manning up, Stealer's sacrifice, the great sense of scale on the powered up sins, and Cain's redemption

but I was no longer invested in the story so the lengthy dialogue that accompanied some of these things seemed wasteful. Also, while I thought the animated sequences were better in the second half, I felt like it wasn't anything particularly unique visually and that I'd seen this sort of thing before. Anything involving Stealer would be an exception here though.

This shot early on definitely made a good impression to start.

I adored the backgrounds early on and was disappointed they got away from this sort of thing.

The real highlight?

Classroom full of monster girls.

Apparently A-1 Pictures wanted even more work, so they're doing a special anime commercial for the manga Denpa Kyoushi, to start airing next month.

The wraparound jacket band on the third volume of Takeshi Azuma's Denpa Kyōshi - He Is [an] Ultimate Teacher manga is announcing this month that the manga is being adapted into an anime commercial by A-1 Pictures. The commercial will begin airing around October.

The story centers around Junichirō Kagami, a young man obssesed with manga, anime and games. He was a young genius who published papers in the journals Nature and Science when he was only 17. However, after graduating collage, he became a NEET absorbed in his anime blog. Unable to watch Kagami throw away his life, his sister Suzune gets him to work at the Ichō Academy she attends. The head of the school's board, Koyomi Hiiragi, assigns Kagami to his new life as a teacher.

 

[Branduil]

What an incredibly original premise.

Nice. Denpa Kyoushi is a great manga. It's pretty much GTO + TWGOK. Hopefully this means there will be an anime at some point down the line, though not soon since it's still relatively new.

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai 11-12 ONA 1-4

Man, Kirino and Kuroneko both suck. Why you gotta pursue those girls Kousaka? Manami and Saori are so much better than those filth. The fujoshi girl was kinda funny, but her schtick got old fast.
What this show needs to try to be less serious and more funny. I mean, it's about a girl who's a super athlete and model that is also a hardcore siscon otaku. The premise is ridiculous, so when they try to be realistic and serious, it falls flat. It really shines though when it doesn't try to tackle serious issues. The best episode being the stay over at Manami's house one.

The other prizes include three scripts signed by the staff and cast, five B2-sized tapestries signed by the cast, and 10 replica sketches signed by Kyou Shirodaira and Ren Saizaki.

Hells/Hell's Angels/Whatever

Yeah I'm not sure what else to say about this that hasn't been said here already.

Great visuals, lively action scenes, pretty poor second half.


To put it into context I started this film last week but once the second half rolled around I found myself losing my concentration. Finally managed to sit myself down and give it a thorough viewing but it got to a point where I was pretty much just waiting for it to end. Maybe I just have a really short attention span or something but the story just wasn't jiving with me all that much. There's definitely some great scenes in the latter half of the movie but it just dragged way too much in my opinion.

That said, this was definitely one of the coolest looking anime I've seen in a long time. I loved the general art style and it made for a wonderfully imaginative setting. I liked a lot of the bizarre yet unique character and monster designs which fit the outlandish backgrounds. Just a shame a lot of those nice looking backgrounds seemed to be more toned down as the film wore on. I'm definitely glad I watched it though and I actually enjoyed how it all ended quite a bit. As much as I found the pacing of much of the movie really slow this is still something I'd recommend to people.

 

[Branduil]

I don't really like the gradient hair thing Tempest is doing. Well, at least not in that key visual. It looks better in the preview.

I do like the digital smoke effect at the beginning of the pv.

Miyuki Sawashiro, again? I guess I will watch the first episode for her.

It's actually kinda appealing. I dunno, maybe it's just because I'm a little weird when it comes to certain facial features, but it find the derpy look of her eyes kinda attractive....

Show owns when it focuses on the ingame fighting and little else as this episode clearly demonstrated. There's no point doing a breakdown when the ingame stuff is pretty much the whole thing, dumb exposition included.
