Not sure if exposed bikini or panties.
Hey, Guilty Crown did pretty well.
I can't say I agree with their opinion on Amanos art. I can see her appealing to a wide demographic but her style of drawing is most definitely very Shounen-influenced . Even the gun design is overstated in its simplicity, like something out of a CN show, as opposed to GiTS or Akira. Going by the description of what they want this show to be, you'd think they go for someone like Otomo or ABe. I suppose they choose Amano in order to create a more unique visual style. Something that can stand up to the greats of the past, rather than just emulating them?

Have you seen Inaba in Kokoro Connect?

What is that from? I know it's Jinrui, but where is that picture from exactly?

I guess they picked jumps best character designer, and her close ups of all the items the vongola rings, box weapons, etc do look great in Reborn!
You've said this before, and I really don't understand the appeal of Tari Tari in comparison with Glee. For me, Tari Tari has all of the worst parts of Glee i.e. the melodrama and overly earnest/saccharine stuff, and none of the good parts i.e. the black comedy and the slick pop/musical theatre performances.
Wonzo, you know what you have to do now.
The heck?
It was probably just to get women watching it too.

The designs themselves are pretty shouneny, but I would say the actual art style and shading and stuff is pretty unique.

To be honest, what I'm generally getting from all the vibes is that Yamamoto really wants this to be successful, and he wants it to have wide appeal internationally and across all demographics, and he wants something super popular, etc. I'm... not sure if he'll get it. I always feel that true success is very hard to manufacture, and just putting people together who are individually popular or successful is not a great way to artificially create something successful.
But I guess we'll see. Madoka was certainly created in a similar way, and it turned out very successful. But that has Aniplex behind it... a true marketing juggernaut.

Black comedy? You mean annoying Sue Sylvester being annoyingly annoying?
And honestly, I'm at a point where I skip all the music in Glee now. I just suffered through the Murphyisms out of some #hatewatch obligation.
It's hard, of course, because if I was comparing Glee S1 to Tari Tari, maybe I'd be more favourable to Glee (and even forgive that whole fake pregnancy idiocy), but after a few years, any semblance of non-shitty storytelling is enough for me.
It's from that Disney knockoff thread.
Madoka had the power of little girls, though.
I'm over thinking things as usual I guess!
Amano is by no means derivative, but it's going to be interesting to see how her designs mesh with the concept of this show, given the inspiration sources they mentioned in the interview.
Well, naturally, but the show seems to be created in a similar vein as well (at least some themes, character archetypes and setting are shared), but that actually just makes Amanos involvement all the more interesting to me, come to think of it!
The power of pretty boys.
Is there a difference?

It's interesting that they cite Ghost in the Shell (and even Patlabor) because it's not like Production I.G. made Ghost in the Shell envisioning that it would be a huge success globally. It just kind of...happened. Which isn't to say that you can't induce that same success deliberately but generally it fails e.g. every Gonzo show aimed at a Western audience. Well, to be fair, they also sucked but I digress.
I mean Rachel Berry accusing a teacher of paedophilia because he won't give her a solo. I mean the pamphlets in Emma's office saying "My Mom's Bipolar And She Won't Stop Yelling". Can you imagine a character in Tari Tari composing a song about someone's freakishly giant lips?
You skip the MUSIC???? In GLEE?
I'm not saying the storytelling in Glee isn't terrible. Boy, is it. What I'm trying to work out is the connection between liking Glee and liking Tari Tari. Just because they're about underdog "choirs" doesn't mean they're anything alike in the slightest, and the reasons I ever liked Glee at all aren't present in Tari Tari.
I have no idea what you're talking about here.
Admittedly no. another show on a very long backlog.
I'll trust your word on this because we certainly agree on Watashi and Misaki.
Plus were Nakama and everything.

Well, how many good futuristic police-team anime franchises can you think of? Yamamoto wanted a cop show, so I think it makes sense that from a producer point of view, if he could make anything, he would want to make something "as successful and iconic as" those two works. It's pretty slim pickings in the genre honestly, in terms of quality.
Very interesting.
Maybe people really like Miyamoto.
The main thing about my feelings on this is that it's just a show that screams average. The ticket thing will be interesting in upcoming sales.
And the power of SHAFT

Is this where people throw out the QUALITY meme?

God damn it. lol
I dunno, the VP is Sue without being annoying. Wakana is Rachel without being annoying. Badminton guy is Flynn without being annoying, and so on.
They're not also a) the best singers at the school while also b) being constant underdogs with questionable talent.
But, that's the comparison I would make - they're basically the rejects of the school trying to form their own club in spite of the opposition against them. It's also derpy enough not to be completely serious - when Wakana thought she was being stalked - but not stupid enough to make me hate myself like when I watch Glee. lol
(Santana's dumb lesbian thing. The Asian dude's stupidly stupid Asian angst thing. Ugh)
And yeah, by the end of last season, I boiled down a Glee episode to 10-15 minutes. I just couldn't stand it and watching actors lip-sync songs wasn't as fun as it was in the first season.

well, Ume Aoki and Gekidan Inu Curry had already a deep relationship with SHAFT.
Madoka was the product of the right person in the right environment at the right time.

For some reason you're overlooking A.D. Police!
Anyway, I wasn't commenting to much on the specific franchises so much as the general approach to creating the work.

Naruto Shippuden 266
This war makes me remember how hyped I was for the introduction of certain characters in built-up groups like the 7 swordsmen. Wish they had a bigger role.

Tari Tari is basically what Glee would be with a much smaller budget and if every character wasn't an insufferable douchebag.

I've only been saying this for years. I guess as you haven't really been touched by the light of KyoAni before this kind of thing must be quite feeling must be quite new for you.
Yes. Yes it is.
Burn Up W is my favorite one.
I love that genre so much but you're right, there just isn't a whole lot of it

All I know is Inaba is the best girl. So I guess you are correct.

Or that. lol Tari Tari is Glee without Ryan Murphy's "touch".
The fact that he cites Inception is relatively interesting as Inception wasn't really that creative or original but Inception was beautifully executed. I'm hoping it's a really tight,script-wise, work due to the run-time.

I think the main problem is that the 'plot' for the film was clearly originally envisioned as the second half of the tv series (it certainly had about the same budget as a tv series) and at some point they just chopped the episodes up and combined them into a film. All of which led to a really poorly paced movie.
I agree, but I also think that it's a reason why IG veterans aren't going to touch something like this with a ten-foot pole. That's not to say that you can't have a successful work which was created with the intentional to be successful in a specific niche, but creatively that's always hard and somewhat unnatural.
No, not quite that.
