Nodame 11 was one of the best single episodes of anime I've seen in a long time. Rachmaninoff orchestra FTW!
Oh! Edo Rocket doesn't air until tomorrow.
Heroic Age = very shiny and quite nicely written (although still very much anime) sci-fi/fantasy show; the quality will probably falter, but it's much more original than Fafner was.
El Cazador = hard to tell; it's actually got a vague sense of humour about it, but it's not quite as atmospheric as other Bee Train stuff. Plus the first episode wasn't that exciting.
Touka Gettan = will watch on the train tomorrow, but actually looks a little bit more interesting than I'd expected.
Idolmaster = not my cuppa, but may check out when there's a decent raw around.
Tomorrow brings EIGHT new late-night shows (Kissdum, Claymore, Overdrive, Edo, Saint Beast (THE HORROR), Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo, Sisters of Wellber, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica). Plus a repeat of Kyojin no Hoshi!

That was the quite the episode. I want that song, as well as the one in episode 10.Crazymoogle said:

10 was good too, it's just that 11...it was like the final episode in the One Piece Arabasta arc. Ridiculously well timed, and they busted out the animation right when they needed it most.

both episodes were great, but I think episode 10 was when I really decided that the Live Action Nodame is much better than the anime version.
Rhapsody in Blue is my favorite part of the Live action nodame, in the anime it was really weak
and Wangan Midnight, The Skullman, and especially Gurren Lagann need to be picked up
btw, would I be able to upload the nodame live action OST that has the songs from episode 10+11 on them? or is that frowned upon?
Fireblend said:Damn, and the raw looks so damn good. At least DMC and DtB have been takenI might also have to check out Claymore. And what about To Terra or Dennou Coil?
Lagann is going to get subbed, there are already a few minor groups focused on mecha with plans to do it I don't think it's gonna get ignored in the long run if even Majin got SS working on them . For To Terra and Dennou Coil wait until they air, although I find impossible for them to remain raw.

I don't even see how anyone can like Japanese Live Action. Most of it is corny and terrible... well, all of that I've seen is corny and terrible. It's kinda funny, the least corny show I've seen from Japan was some random Kamen Rider series I think it was "Kamen Rider 555".
Also I checked out the Live Action version of episode 10 on youtube and it was done really poorly so yeah I don't really get what you mean by "Live Action version is better". The Live Action version didn't really build up as well as the anime version did. It's pretty obvious that it was meant for an anime moreso than Live Action anyway.
As far as the Nodame anime goes... episode 11 was amazing and so was the song. This is the first time I've heard this song before and it's really good stuff... also the CG was a lot more bearable in this episode, not sure why. It was nice to see how things were played.

did you just watch episode 10 of the live action? because episode 10+11 in anime = episode 5 in live action

I just youtube searched "nodame rhapsody" and it popped up so I have no idea what the episode number was.

I can agree with that. You were kind of making what you said seem to be fact or something so I just stated my opinion on the whole thing.

Linkzg said:
I tried watching the first episode and it seemed to suffer everything common to drama series...and episode 5 is no exception. If it floats your boat, that's fine...but wow, it has nothing on the anime that I can see (except the animation that being live action provides. It's nice to see the moving musicians...even if the scope is so different.) *shrug*
How many eps is the anime scheduled for? I saw somewhere claim 23 but dunno if that's accurate. With 16+ volumes ongoing I'm wondering where they will cut for a finish (well, I'd like to dream it would be ongoing, but I suppose the chances of that are extremely slim.)

Pretty much everywhere says 23 so I guess that's the right number.

I saw that hit shelves lately from viz...what's the deal with this series anyway?
EDIT: wow, more brazen one piece filler on the way. I guess it's nice they make it clear (show suddenly shifts to edo samurai tale), but filler right in the middle of the finale to a major arc is pretty rough. :lol

PM please.Linkzg said:
Gurren Lagann just went from my 4th most anticipated anime series this season to the top spot. First episode was brilliant, animation was (as expected) just incredible in it's fluid style and the music was amazing. For those that are fans of music in anime.. I think this comes as close as we can get to a fusion of Yoko Kanno and Joe Hisaishi - at the very least the first episode had 3 good songs that I could hear and they sounded like a mix of both respective composers.
And it bears repeating that the mecha designs were awesome. The whole unconventional style fits so well.
But there's no denying that there are at least 3 great shows that everyone should be watching alongside your own genre favourites. This season will probably be the best in terms of multiple quality series and that hasn't happened in a long time.
edit: Just did a check up on the composer for Gurren. Can anyone confirm if it is indeed Taku Iwasaki?

Guren Lagann is pretty nice. I skimmed through the first episode. The art style is simple but highly effective (although not too crazy or stylistic and the animation is pretty nice even if it does uses some of the ever-present giant robot type of direction. The mecha concepts are really funny. :lol
Kave_Man said:
Subs? Soft? Where? My sister dislikes watching raws and since she loves old-school robots, FLCL and DieBuster she wants to watch this. :/
Also... KissDum's character animation looks really bad, static most of the time and not even good looking but completely destroying Sushio's original designs. Only the CG mechs are kinda good looking and I dislike Japanese in-your-face shiny 3D. Won't comment on the plot until translations surface but so far the first majot disappointment. Going by the comments Heroic Age looks to have turned out well, with decent technical qualities and a cheesy-yet-fun Space Opera story in Starcraft's vein. I expected them to be turned around, so the surprises have just began. :/
Shouta said:
Well, they're soft-subs so I'll just paste them over my HIGH-RESOLUTION raw.
Also, Darker than Black opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnoWgY07PHU
I won't comment on the song as I dislike most anime vocal music for being so damn generic and badly executed but the video itself wasn't that hot and fairly cheap, both on direction and animation, certainly not on the level of Eureka Seven, RahXephon, Wolf's Rain or even Kurau but understandable since they seemingly finished it in the weekend.
You should really check out the live action, because it is funnier and much more emotional than the anime could ever pump out I think. That may be due to me watching the drama first and the anime second, which is weird because I'm not the biggest fans of drama adaptions.DarknessTear said:
But I don't understand why you think the anime is more suited to Nodame, when you said as well that the CG was a bit more bearable during the Rachmaninoff performance? Doesn't make sense.
Plus.. Stresemann is played by Naoto Takenaka in the drama. What more could you ask for?!

>.> ... subs for Heroic Age and Laggan are out. As for the quality, your guess is as good as mine.

Fireblend said:Sounds like it's a series I'll keep my eye on. Same as DtB, and yeah, that OP doesn't look (or sound) too good...
and another day, and there's still not a decent group subbing/planning to sub Lagann. Damn
Don't worry! Shouta to the rescue! I'm working on a translation right now! Lagann is kinda naughty with some of it's dialogue. :lol

Yeah... I'm going to have to agree with Shouta.
I just finished watching Narutaru (since it's by the Bokurano folks). It's quite possibly the most messed up anime I've ever seen. Someone please explain the point of it to me. It seemed like it was going somewhere but then the last 4 eps were complete chaos...
PS: I guess I shouldn't expect Bokurano to end well :lol
