What else are you going to do with a bunch of concubines?
Maybe not the same method, but sure.

I would think that PrecureGAF (or any other [insert anime here]GAF) has the good sense to keep its visibility to a minimum, unlike K-OnGAF which is apparently actively seeking the disgust of and ostracism from the rest of NeoGAF!
Dibs.
Are you saying that the release date is a full moon?

well now that everything has aired i will be continuing on with Zetman, Medaka Box, Fate and Lupin. No reason for me to go over the shows I wasn't impressed with. Episode 2 of zetman was great, glad to find out about them as kids, it will give more reason to sympathize with them (i've read the manga too). First episode of Fate wasn't everything I was expecting but it was still good.
You're a little early.
oh yeah, forgot about those. i wasn't huge into the original eureka 7 though and i'm worried that sakamichi won't live up to the hype but i'll definitely try them both.
Eureka 7 AO BDs contain English subs

I'm sure they will contain a $400 price tag. That's why they are putting English subs on JP releases now, so they can release them with JP pricing in NA/EU.
The first BD is dirt cheap. I'm actually wondering if there is only one episode on it.

lol more like an entire eps worth of sakuga for the entire series (half of them are from movies from what I can tell ;P).
Still... yeah, one piece does have it's moments... it's just super hard to remember when stuff 'moves' lmao. I think my love for one piece anime was smothered by that war arc. Now I think about it, the whole prison break arc was pretty well animated. Same with the current arc.
And wtf happened to animegaf the past few pages. K-On... Furries...
It's like dimensions are cracking

Thank god Tezuka invented limited animation!
Well anime probably wouldn't exist today if limited animation didn't.
Of course saying someone "invented" limited animation is always a bit odd. It's not like it takes a genius to think "what if we drew less stuff?" The real trick is making it look good and coming up with techniques that disguise or work within the limitations.
Still wrong.
Mysterious Girlfriend X 1: Urabe is weird. Tsubaki is weird. This opening episode encompassed the sort of odd feelings that compelled me to check out the manga in the first place. They really nailed that with all that honey dripping imagery, establishing how strange Urabe (and the drool thing) is as well as the circus-like music during Tsubaki's surreal dreams (which are the best things and I hope they make them even more extravagant). I think the CG worked alright in that dream sequence. The production looks quite nice in general. Good backgrounds and character art. The transition from the manga art went through well. I personally like the manga's art. The extra detail in the girl's uniform (the ribbon and shirt's texture) and the boy's (texture in the pants), books in the students' desks, the whole of Tsubaki's room... all these little things are enjoyable to see. Urabe's VA also sells her character really well I find. Kind of like what I'd imagine her to sound like.
On the whole I really liked this opening episode. Well produced and captures the manga's tone nicely. The ED sequence being just a bunch of drool image pans is appropriate I guess. I wonder what kind of OP will there be. So I hear that the anime will have an original ending. That could pan out well as when I left off the manga was in a sort of mediocre arc that didn't have much of what I liked about the series in the first place.
Drool Girlfriend vs Zombie Girlfriend is a tight race right now. Will have to see how Ghost Girlfriend does later. Season of fetishes.

Well, he 'invented' the factory floor method of anime being broken down into chunks and processed quickly by a team of people, rather than spending ages making everything look "smooth".

That's not surprising, considering what we know about how rough the production is.
They're learning from the masters.
Right. I was just pointing out how odd the statement is if you take it literally, as it basically says "He invented drawing less stuff." What he invented were the methods for making anime cheaply, including but not limited to drawing less frames, reusing more materials, and methods and tricks which attempt to disguise all of those cut corners. Which is what you and others actually mean when saying he invented limited animation.

"However, the great advance in the production of bishoujo anime" what an amazing quote.

stop saying wrong and give me some proof!
Yea I saw the 2 episode bit. I wonder why they're going with Heroman pricing unless they suspect it's going to bomb.
You should probably put your thread up I guess.

As you should be. People are sacrificing themselves to bring it to you!
Much more interesting to me was their shading of hair. First of all, they put a lot of details into the hair, but the really interesting thing here is the shading. The highlights are done with gradients, not something you see every day. Additional to that, they use tons of gradient shading on other things too in the first episode! Lines are generally drawn fairly thick, which I like. Characters still look like they squint all the time with wide opened eyes though. Wasn't much of a fan of the filter they use for ribbons/pants/school uniforms.

Yeah, dtshyk's translations can be a bit awkward sometimes.
