It's for this reason that I am absolutely thrilled to hear about his involvement with Monolith Software's X project. Between his work on Gundam Unicorn and Guilty Crown, he is one of the most talented modern anime composers I've heard in a very long time.

All that boob bouncing mang.
That is some poorly animated jiggle.

You know I was wondering if this was ever going to happen, and I'm so glad it did. (spoilers)

Tsubomi's grandmother doesn't even have half of the power that her younger self
had and she bodied the two generals like it was nothing. I felt like I was watching some Marvel* when she pulled that lvl 3 darkness illusion** goodness. Shit was awesome!

*Marvel vs Capcom 3

**Morrigan's lvl 3 super where she performs a combination of strikes with a copy of herself

Dat cliffhanger at the end, oh snap!

Australians rejoice, Siren Visual has licensed the first season of Chihayafuru for a DVD release this year.

Anyway, I hope you are all still enjoying the AOTY results and that I didn't fuck things up too badly. Also, to whoever was planning on taking on the all-time task, I'd be glad to help in any capacity.

Geneijin actually turned me against Sawano :lol Some of his stuff is okay, but I'm not partial to Guilty Crown's OST. Too many tracks sound like something out of a standard Hollywood action blockbuster. Basara and AoEx have some good stuff, if memory serves.

If this show is planning on being a number of vignettes centered around the concept of love it is going to quickly become more and more uninteresting. The build up to something greater is pretty insubstantial and doesn't seem to be going anywhere either.

So... there's a plot but not really?
 
Tamako Market 4
I think I might drop this. It's reached the boring and aimless stage before it's really earned it. You have to sell me on the premise and characters before you can pull that off, and this show is completely unengaging so far. Chuubi may have been shit, but at least it felt like was going somewhere.

Wow. I haven't even watched episode 3 yet and yall are making me just want to drop it. And this is what... 2-cour? Fuck me.

There has been a somewhat obscured plot with the bird since the first episode, but I don't find any of that stuff interesting and it rarely crops up. So far each episode has its own plot to the point where they are almost self-contained. They might as well be filler though.

I liked episode three the best. At least watch that before you decide.

It's not just you. The Achiga characters are undeveloped and pretty awful. It doesn't help that the pacing is horrid and they are rushing through everything. With this episode they turned 166 pages into a 30 minutes long mess. It's a shame because I actually found the original Saki to be pretty entertaining. This spin-off is not good though.

Thanks. That's a little comforting because I was really starting to wonder if I should restart the whole series since it seemed like I was missing something. The whole competition arc just seems extremely hard to follow. I was disappointed when I found out the second season didn't follow the original cast but I never imagined it would be presented in such a convoluted manner.

The anime is a marketing vehicle for a manga that exists only as a marketing vehicle for the main entry in the franchise. lol

The only thing you really need to know about this version of the franchise is who the Achiga girls are. They're going to save Saki's sister for the final, surely, and the other teams are just the sad losers that quickly get forgotten.

I'm hoping it will happen soon. I'd buy the hell out of Chihayafuru.

I would have bought the hell out of Full Moon O Sagashite but Viz murdered it after 7 volumes :(

Chihayafuru is just going to fail if it releases here because everyone just wants more goddamned fucking DBZ and Bleach. fuck the mainstream anime fan.

I thought we already agree this isn't good sign for KyoAni anime? What wrong with enjoying anime about nothing but a life in shopping market anyway. That's my expectatio.

Tha Tamako artwork is gorgeous. I don't think many can nitpick that aspect of it.
I kind of thought the most recent episode wasn't as impressive. I dunno, even with the seasons changing rapidly and holidays always popping up I am already finding the marketplace to be a bit drab.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong, however, I feel that there are a number of people who are extremely turned off by it.
 
So... is it like K-On in ways?

K-On at least had some momentum early on, Tamako Market's launching point feels like where K-On was at mid season 2. And I liked K-On, so this isn't coming from some sort of fundamental objection to that type of show.

What about the art?
Yeah, that at least hasn't been a disappointment.

That would work if the characters were compelling enough to carry the show. The ones in Tamako Market are not.

Indifference doesn't really qualify as "extremely turned off". I find it hard to imagine anyone having charged negative reactions to Tamako Market.

Just caught the results list. Not bad. Not bad at all. Good mix of genres, no noticeably terrible shows. Hunter x Hunter was robbed, but I expected that and have already come to terms.

As for my anime watching, it's still been a crap ton of Gintama. That show just keeps getting better. It's kind of insane. I'm just over 1/2 way through the 3rd season. There's still a couple things I'd like to see changed. I want more episodic thing. I love arcs, but they're far more effective with breaks in between. Where I'm at, it's been one 3 or 4 episode arc after another with only 1 or 2 episodes in between. Another thing, I'd like to see a few more serious moments and more moments of Gin being badass. Still, it's an amazing thing to watch and I'm adoring every second of it.
