A rebroadcast with a new op.
I highly doubt there'll be anymore good KyoAni stuff this year. Chuu2-2 might not be Summer either, it could be Fall.

Is that when Chuu2-2 will be airing?
Here, good sir.
The quality is unbelievable for the price and now I'm worried that I'm going to begin collecting anime artbooks.
My dream of a Yotsuba& adaptation still lives.

So this is now an anime about four girls who become editors at a manga magazine who gets an anime made about their struggles of being girls who become editors at a manga magazine.
My head hurts.

Are we really going to do this? It's going to be silly.
For me there are worlds of difference between Tamako and Hyouka on both a narrative and visual level. Tamako is such a weird show for me. I have no idea what it is really trying to be as a whole. There is this big cast but most of them are kind of just completely forgotten or tucked away to never return. It rarely does much with what it has, and when it does it is even less likely to tie what its accomplished into the world being built.
Or just do the easy thing and pit their festivals against one another to see the dramatic difference between the two.

Hope it will be ready for Summer or Fall this year.
Even better idea, a endless eight Chuu2.
This is a disingenuous argument. Hyouka is set on a gigantic school, where the cultural festival is one of its most striking characteristics and had been hyped since episode 4. The whole arc focuses around someone playing around with the festival.
Tamako never cared about the school, it was set on the market, and the single episode featuring the festival wasn't really dedicated to the festival itself, but to their performance and especially Midori's feelings. Which were related to the preparation of the performance, which happened before the festival.
I agree that Tamako looks much rougher than Hyouka, it had a really tight schedule, but that's not the way to prove it.

I'm not saying one doesn't look better than the other, just that the gulf between Tamako and Chuu2 and Tamako and Hyouka are much different in size. Not like the number of '>' has any significance to begin with though.
Hmm, CD Japan has it for slightly cheaper. Will go with them probably as they are more versatile in shipping too.

I thought this was better than the show, weird!
5/10
Is the 2nd season also divided between separate chapters?

K-ON! > Tamako > Nichijou > Chu-2 > Swimming Boys PV > Hyouka
Well at least it's not going to be hard for Wolf Children to run away with the AOTY award, LOL.
It was a joke.
Really though, the festival stuff in Tamako does still get set up, and the dumb baton club stuff was always building towards that in some way or another. I thought it was all handled pretty poorly. You can say the school doesn't matter but it comes up pretty often, and is formative to many of the show's relationships.
And even ignoring the school stuff most of the market events are kind of a drag. The show does a really bad job of establishing the market as a location, and its sense of space and layout are almost completely nebulous. Instead its propped up on a bunch of jokey and meaningless characters who fail to really imbue it with much personality.
The year is long...
The second season isn't nearly as segmented. It also doesn't look like trash like the first did but it loses whatever charm that cheap look had, lol.
Congrats I guess.
Is this a joke?
Fuck. No. Please no.
No? I liked Chuu2's visuals. It was pretty charming I thought.

lol. You know kayos never jokes.
Utah's lost chuuni childhood friend who is in love with him appears and becomes Rika's rival. I'm not even joking.
I like this development!
cute. cheap but kind of creative.
I love you. You're not afraid to tell people what you think, and you support the buttfumblers. Truly a brave man.
Why on earth would you hide any of that? For that matter why does it seem like you are always ashamed of your fandom? fuck that. EMBRACE YOUR FANDOM. So what if people know you like anime?

He also said Guilty Crown had better animation than EVA. Not to be trusted.
If it is, it's really really bad. I can't tell jokes to save my life. Only 1/10000 are funny.
Chuu2-2 is forgiven as long as this is expanded into a full show. Or maybe even a short. Or something.

Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited End
Neat little side story that furthers Hyobu's character a lot more than I would expect a non-canon show would do. I do feel like they made him and PANDRA more sympathetic than their manga incarnation, but that happens when you give the leading role of a spinoff to an antagonist.
Unless of course this takes place after where the manga currently is like the recent Hayate anime.
Anyway, there was some good action, good animation, AVGN and Nostalgia Critic, and other good stuff. I'll probably forget all about it when the year ends, but still one of the stand out shows of the winter season and better than Code:Breaker.

Keeping Saotome alive really shakes things up with the lore, which is why I'll be surprised if this is canon, especially when there's another Hyobu flashback going on in the manga right now.

I'm ok with this, but that doesn't mean I'll be ok with the drama that will ensue in the show. I just wanted awkward chuuni antics being somehow tolerated by normal people.
Adaptation of my favorite game, superb! Can't wait until next year when I get to watch it.
EILANYA FOR LIFE.
I believe in Space Dandy!
And some true noitaminA shows!
And Yuri Bear Storm being both good and out in 2013!
And some other stuff coming out of nowhere to surprise me!
Admittedly Wolf Children was well good, so it would take a lot to top it, but still.

Whats with the hype for Chuu2?
Is it a good anime?
Last time I asked about Guilty Crown I got mixed responses.

Still one of the most baffling and unforgettable comments Ive ever encountered online.

I have to wonder if the prices they change for this stuff isn't the reason.
And that the huge prices simply aren't sustainable.
Here in the United States, you can buy DVDs for $5, and sometimes even Blu Rays for that price. And box sets are generally less than $50. While in Japan it is multiple times that. Many otaku I'm sure can't afford such prices.
I import manga all of the time because it is so insanely cheap, even with shipping around the price I pay for localized manga. But a lot of the anime is way, way out of my reach.
Sure, they'd get a lot less per copy if the charged less. But surely they would get a lot more customers, right?
Not for anything you would want.

Yeah, tell me about it.
Though I thought that was me being a picky nutbag anime geek who isn't into most of the stuff Hollywood puts out.
