Do you mean artstyle? cause theres nothing really offensive about the character designs
also I cant tell if that was a boy or girl of if this was some type of yaoi anime.;

Well, it does have the yaoi hands.

In fact, almost all of the anatomy is offensively inaccurate.

So G-RECO is set after UC and will premiere in fall 2014, Gundam Origin will be multiple movies, first one in Spring 2015. I'm sure duckroll will write up a better summary.

There were shorts PVs but I forgot to cap. Hopefully they'll post them after the conference.

Jin is awesome, I really like the fighting in this anime.
This is the best arc by far.

This was straight up weird, and not in the way this usually is either. I can kinda see how they're setting the tone with this bizarre existential threat but everything about it was just odd and not really all that engaging honestly. I hope this isn't a sign of whats to come for the last two episodes. :(

Yeah, not even the increased sense of pacing makes the incredibly drawn out shite that is this arc not fun at all to re-experience. Oh well, it's only one more episode.

D-Frag! 11

Speaking of shite…

wow, these gundams look like gundams.

one of the new skins in league is pretty much a billion gurren lagann references. i'm sure this makes you all want to play the game.

Via Kvin:

The results for the 5th KyoAni awards are in. For the first time ever we got a grand prize winner, Violet Evergarden http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/kyoani_award/5th/

Two encouragement prizes too, Santa's friend and Yesterday's Love is Today's dream. All of them in the novel category, nothing for scenario

I didn't even notice it, but this year the KyoAni Awards also had a manga category. Which is completely vacant, following the tradition.

Edit: also

Looks like someone forgot to tell them that anime is, you know, animated. So same old, same old - shoujo with no budget. Ah well.

What's the point of this show? Is it a moe comedy that just happens to be set in the Soul Eater universe or does it actually involve any weaponry etc.?

I'm not hearing any Fukui-ben =(

Still hoping for good things from this one.

I finished two animes within 24 hours of each other. I watched at least 25-35 episodes of anime in the last 48 hours. Do I get a cookie or do I only get looks of shame, pity and bewilderment?

The latter.

(And a little jealousy, because I wish I could get through shows that fast =p)

Love Stage PV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkqvrnxIugI

Nobody posted this? Newsreporting fail, etc.

Wow. Such boyslove. Much crossdressing. Very yaoi.

Kon deserves her own spinoff show.

She deserves all the spinoff shows.

In fact, I think Kon from Tokyo Ravens and Kon from Inari Konkon should team up and make a show together to make up for how badly they were neglected in their own shows. They could even bring in the ever-neglected Kon from Bleach...and then continue to ignore him because nobody likes him anyway.

I would watch the fuck out of the Kon and Kon show.

like Eureka [...] Pretty ugly

Does not compute.

This is the best arc by far.

The second-best arc. The best arc was the standalone episode where Kon couldn't disappear =p

The results for the 5th KyoAni awards are in. For the first time ever we got a grand prize winner, Violet Evergarden http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/kyoani_award/5th/

So I guess we're basically guaranteed to get a KyoAni anime of this at some point in the future. Here's hoping it's actually as good as this rare honour would imply!

Amazing episode full of adorableness, with the mascots and minions taking centre stage and proving that they can measure up to the main cast any day. Coffret was great (the mascots in this series have really grown on me, even if it is still impossible to tell Chypre and Coffret apart unless you're specifically paying attention), and the minions were remarkably entertaining and even surprisingly competent at times (I think I might like them more than the actual villains).

We also got tons of Erika being adorable and hilarious (lol @ transforming and trying to use the Marine Tact to clean her room), and plenty of screentime for both of the adorable lolis who have graced the series so far (Nanami's little sister Rumi, and Haruka from Potpourri's focus episode). The mascots and the lolis hanging out together always makes for the most adorable episodes ever. Always.

More episodes like this, please.

LOL Origin's CG mechs and it's partial adaption. XD

Interested in G-Reco but wary of Tomino. Looking forward to Yugo Kanno composing but hopefully/probably the heavy synth music in the trailer is just a mockup.

At least we will get sweet 2D mecha in UC 7.

Why does the new Gundam series look like Eureka? Pretty ugly.
Kenichi Yoshida am cry.

This was not a satisfactory or well-executed ending. I think it's actually worse than a non-ending "read the manga for the rest" finish. Though the last few episodes of this as a whole have been somewhat underwhelming.

And the gods visibility in this show is about as consistent as Menma's ghost.

Studio 4C and Toyota's collaboration project has resulted in a new short animation omnibus film. It's a 32 minute collection of 4 short stories by different directors: Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Sayo Yamamoto, Tomoyuki Niho, and Takashi Nakamura.

The trailer looks pretty good, and I'm a sucker for omnibus works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo4zvjspppc

Ooh, this does look quite pretty.

Also, Yuuki Aoi voicing a male protag? How rare.

Honestly, I think it's a nice compromise. You could just assume the series ends the story and leave it at that. Or, you can by into the soft-reboot and continue reading the manga... in fact, I almost expected them to have a silly tag at the end of the show that pointed to that - but nope, they stuck to their "ending" guns.

The Toruru's Adventure stuff looks really creative. I wish it were a bit longer, since each short is probably less than 10 minutes long, but I loooooooove stuff like this.

First Dimension: Time Master (Director: Tatsuyuki Tanaka)


---

Second Dimension: Crazy Consumption (Director: Sayo Yamamoto)


---

Third Dimension: The Last of the Flowers (Director: Tomoyuki Niho)


---

Fourth Dimension: The Door to the Future (Director: Takashi Nakamura)

Never occurred to me G. Reco was sctual Tomino Gundam. I was under the impression it was him making something Gundam-ish elsewhere after bring out out to pasture.

I don't know why either!

Oh don't worry, you haven't seen the last of the Phantom Troupe. In fact, you'll see them again sooner than you think.

Also the Greed Island arc is amazing. You'll find out why soon.
