Jormungand and Steins gate werent anything to write home about, the writing staff employed consistently drop the ball on making the source materials conclusions actually compelling and worthwhile.

It's roughly the same thing anyway.
The balance shifts as the show goes on, but pretty much.

to have two 10/10 shows in my eyes it's a pretty amazing thing for a young studio like White Fox. And it helps that they don't produce harem show nr. 34 or the next shonen fighting anime but interesting and non-standard shows.
not enough Yaoi?

That's funny, because I always thought that it looked like a dangerous narcotic.

Passionate darkside is so "kawaii desu-ne uguu".
Their quality is not really White Fox's accomplishment.
If anything, those shows would have been even better if done by a different studio.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Haven't been paying attention to this franchise since the first season of the TV show and did not know the series has had three different studios in charge of animation production for such a "short" span of time!

I guess that confirms that Manglobe is essentially dead as far as 'interesting' anime goes.

Intrigued enough so far. We'll see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

That's not necessarily true. If they had been made by DEEN, Statelight, Gonzo or Bee Train they would have been worse, I imagine.
...
I can't think of any other studio's below White Fox in terms of quality. Everyone else is better.
I guess they did do the movie.
Has to be an upgrade after that eroge adaptation a few seasons back. Manglobe moving back up in the world. :/
There is no such thing.

I love to drink some DK. Pepper too
And enjoy the ride!
sure, girls are strange...
but White Fox girls are often not very anime-ish, so they are not that bad.

Bah! Three hundred posts for a whole season is nothing, man. Three-and-a-bit posts (approximately) a day leaves you time to do many "sane" things...
... and I'm not using this to justify myself, understood? Not at all! No... nope.

Hope you enjoy it.
Steins;Gate, the only show
that broke my defenses and gave me a taste of the forbidden fruit that is Ruka.
First one smelt it dealt it.

The source material for both shows was good, the direction and animation weren't very well done, but are saved by an extremely interesting and engaging story (Steins;Gate) and a great visual style (animation aside, the designs were the same in the novels) combined with an interesting premise and characters (Katanagatari).
It's especially grating how a show that should finish almost each of its arcs (filled with insane amounts of talking) with a great battle scene doesn't really have good battles, aside from the final episode. And really, they don't need to last long, look at the action scenes in Mononoke, they last like what, 5-10 seconds? But they're extremely well done and remain some of my most memorable scenes ever.
True, I should have been more clear
I'm glad you finally saw the light: El Cantare's light.

well, I don't believe you read the Katanagatari novels, otherwise you would know the Katanagatari novels are 95% just talking and the fights are supposed to be anti-cinematic.
That might be true, but that doesn't mean they couldn't (shouldn't) have made them more interesting and better animated.
Novel =/= anime
Different media and all that.
And now I realize that this is an easily quotable avatar... really bad choice.

Katanagatari would be a worse anime with a higher focus on the fighting scenes. Gunslinger Girl S1 is a similiar example they reduced the action part compared to the manga or S2 but S1 is one of an example of a superior adaptation. If you want action, there are enough shonen or other action shows. Katanagatari is a prime example for great character interaction and that makes the show so good.

Considering their legacy of works like Michiko E Hatchin, Samurai Champloo and House of Five Leaves their steady decline into irrelevancy is depressing.

I'm saying Hayate is better than most of their repertoire. Hell, it's better than 2 out of 3 of those.
Jex

You're right, of course. I have trouble remembering the names of E-Tier studios.
You misunderstood, I'm not saying there should be a higher focus on the fighting scenes, I'm saying that what there is of the fighting scenes (and there's some action in almost every episode) is poorly done.
Hence my mentioning of Mononoke and it's 5 second action scenes.
Ultimadrago
Member
Okay, I know one has to be the "Snoremaster", House of Five Leaves, what's the other?,
Hayate is probably a step up from their recent works though, maybe they are turning it around...
It's better that you not know them I think.

There are people who actually like House of Five Leaves?
