I don't think it's that unusual. When you have a final script it generally means you're already in full production and have locked everything down. They clearly haven't started production on this at all. They did say during the Kickstarter not to expect them to work on it immediately though, since they wanted to finish KLK first, as that was a commercial obligation.

isn't that different now since the guys that get moeny are now forced to deliver something ? or is that not retro active ?
i'm not the expert on kickstarter , just something i've heard.

I'm probably making a faulty assumption about how long they really need to produce a 45 minute film. (Actually, it's probably better to equate it with an episode in an OVA series.)
Well, the actual production shouldn't take that long. They just haven't really been working on it. KLK was really a full time thing for the studio, and they only just wrapped it all up.

They have an anime set for this season and one next spring. Chances are that is the lowest of their priorities plsus KLK OVA'.
Finished burning through Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. Do wish there was a third season, even if it felt I dunno needlessly complex. I guess it aint happening though given its been a few years since S2.
Not sure if reading it would be better or worse. I guess I can skim paragraphs just as easily as my eyes can glase over with the anime.

Yeah I know. IT was always hard to find good soundtrack selection. Some things like Noir soundtrack never showed up in stores, sold out and I never acquired them.
Dolphins are better anyway. Visually that kind of reminded me of the effects in Someday's Dreamers.
Dunno
All i know is that i'm playing danganronpa 2 ATM.
One of those shows i LOVE but i can't tell why i love it in words... i just love it.
One should just skip max heart and go to splash star.
Splash star is a great season
Yes this. Skip Max Heart completely. Its seriously not needed.
Holy shit that plot summary sounds horrible. Almost like Guilty Crown v.2.

Looks good too, Kikuchihara, Yoneyan, and Miwa designs are just as I imaginged. Now if we get Izumi.

I'll let you know that premise is not the case, it's [spooler]propaganda set up by the vampires to keep their captives within their territory and under their control.[/spoiler]

Oh wow, Crunchyroll is airing that racist space anime? lol
This makes me happy I think. I loved the artwork in the mango. I'm pretty sure it was good (the art), but I haven't read it in a awhile so I could be wrong.
I think this thread will simply continue.
Thats how the last few times worked.
Pay careful attention to everything! It will all make sense. A lot of sense.
Nah its never too late to jump back into anime. Theres so much of it and its bound to rekindle interest sooner or later.
Depending on what you like you might enjoy something with an involving story such as From The New World (I love to push this series)
There are plenty of shows where the main female character doesnt give a shit about men or isnt even exposed to their presence at all. My two favorite shows, Haibane Renmei and Kinos Journey feature strong female characters that either rely on other female characters for support or not at all. In Kinos case she wouldnt hesitate to blast a man out of existence if he threatens her. There are quite a few other examples of female characters who dont require a strong male presence. Most anime males are weakshit to begin with.
Yeah I ordered Illya season 1 blurays. I think it comes in today!
First episode is a pretty interesting angle to show the characters. The actual show strays from that format though into a more conventional format. It works pretty well.
LWA2 production report!

THat OP is magnificent. Hana is pretty adorable as is Naru. So many cuties. If I would criticize anything it would be not enough Yosakoi dancing. I want to see more adorable yosakoi!

Am I going crazy, or is the animation really clunky in that ad? The characters talking seemed to be like 2 alternating frames.

It's not that bad, but certainly does have an overdose of edge.
What with the child molestation undertones through the blood drinking etc.
As far as I I've read the plot hasn't jumped shark yet ala Guilty Crown but it may do so. At the very least the MC seems to like Eren except he powers up in a more Shounen like manner. As fair as I've read the storie fairly mediocre with an extra dosage of edge, but can't judge whether this is entirely true due to the supposed mystery going on..
It appears to be a flash animation or maybe just CG. Its definitely not hand drawn at all.
At the end of the Psycho-Pass Fes, they announced that the Psycho-Pass movie will open in Japan on Jan 9 2015. It appears that Akane might be going outside the city for the first time. Wonder what the rest of the world looks like in the PP world.
Goddamn, Akane looks so good. Girl looks better without the suit.
Its Toei bruh..

This show is rather.....impressive. The action is top grade pure sakuga. The whole saber fight was zomg awesome,its hard to believe this is a silver link show. I do like the comedy bits too. Why didn't I watch this earlier? I completely wrote it off because of it's magical girl premises. Now time for 2wei....

Man it just seems like a lazy parody of how DBZ used to be. Like all the problems got worse and nothing got better.

Another show where it's best not to eat the food you're offered.
Flight capabilities received then. And some details about the beastmen is revealed.

Re: Hamatora 12 END
Half the episode was essentially Art + Skill's back story on top of a small recap in Art's perspective to make his goals more clear. It also explains why nobody in that facility lost their Minimum at the time.
Speaking of Minimums, does this mean that Nice,
Overall, I couldn't connect with series at all. I kept watching hoping something interesting would happen, but that ended up not being the case. The only thing I'm probably ever going to remember out of this are the ridiculous names like "Skill," or "Birthday."

has two Minimums? Being his owns and a Minimum provided by Skill? Does this also mean that Art never had a Minimum or just truly hasn't found his own yet?

Started the episodes on the return of the Color Rangers. This was surprisingly dark. Kind of want a miniseries with the Color Rangers.
Then some paranormal world activity inside where the first person with his team get trapped in someone's mind. Honestly, kind of the weakest episde in the series
Well the final arc is amazing. though. An series of unbelievable twists that throws expectations out the window. Starting with the Prince's younger brother along with his fiance and then, you learn
and the biggest twist of all,
She seems to be the perfect match for the prince

she's a psycho, spying on him. Then that the incompentant agent was working with them, then that she was attacked by some revolutionaries
she was pretending to be the revolutionaries to trick the Prince into marrying him and then finally the existence of aliens is revealed to the entire world.

Well, that's good.
But then they try to ram the enemy, and when it doesn't work for the first one, they keep trying? Smart thinking there... Luckily drilling beats spinning. And then a really big enemy appear.

Ashita no Nadja 16-22 (Italy Arc)
Once again, there's a lot take in. Italy's been featured in a fair bit of anime, most recently (for me) the Marimite school trip at the end of S3, and Neo-Venezia, too. The flag dance that Ken and Nadja did was cute.
Lots of major revelations going on here. Ikue Ohtani's been in all three big franchises on this block, but her voice wasn't really heard until the very end here. The scene where
was heartwarming, and I look forward to being able to hear her thoughts in the next few stories to come. She's not the only one whose backstory was revealed. Nadja really is the perfect metaphor for the bridge between the classes, and that she spent time away from home (albeit not willingly) makes her a lot more like her mom than she knows.
That said, there's more than a few coincidences going on. The entire chase for the brooch in episode 20, and episode 17's constant near-run-ins with Rosso and Bianco are so retro cartoony in how both parties end up missing each other for the better. The stories flow together well. Then there's Antonio. He's not a terrible person at heart, and his mom's a real force of nature, but he does serve as a good foil to Francis, almost as much as Black Rose himself does. And he's featured dancing with Nadja in the opening, I'm not sure what to make of that.
I know Roman Holiday is one of the most homaged films in anime. Strike Witches did a take, Sengoku Collection did a take on it. Though it's not an exact match, Christian and Nadja's day in Rome, with one of them being an unknown member of the upper-class, should mean that it's at the very least a homage.
My thoughts remain unchanged. The drama elements of the Austrian aristocracy as starting to increase as the series goes on, but the heart and soul of things - Nadja and the Dandelion Troupe - are only becoming more lovable. And I'm only halfway done!

Got NISA's standard editions of Arakawa Under the Bridge from the latest Right Stuf sale. Bought the sets separately seeing as the bundle was $6 more, even though the TRSI rep kept stating overwise for this and the other NISA bundles. Despite this and the inconsistency that the first season is sold as separate Blu-ray and DVD packages and the second season is a BD/DVD combo, I am glad to finally own the series. Glad to see the second season set was a DVD case like FUNimation uses, and not that death-grip case NISA used for their Bunny Drop standard edition.
Also imported all 18 volumes of the Monogatari LNs. So much text I can't even read...

I got a thing! (Well, 2 things.)
Awesome! As someone who really, really enjoyed E7, I'm glad after the original series they didn't bother with movies or sequels or more stuff. The original run was perfect as it was. I should rewatch it soon.
I like the covers on those.
This shall be my introduction to the franchise. If I'm sufficiently won over (and my standards aren't very tough, I probably will be), I'll check out the toku.
Not sure if this is more suited for TokuGAF or for here.
You should check out Kamen Rider Gaim which gonna end this coming week. Alot of people enjoyed it.
I have been watching Gaim. I just don't post about it on NeoGAF, I'm more of a Rangerboard kind of guy.
Someone alert animemaru so they can issue a correction
Excuse me, but you are not espousing equality. Equality would be viewing Kashima as a character first, and a woman second. In the terms of a slapstick comedy, she was fulfilling the role that her character was assigned. What you are trying to say is that women should never ever fill that role.
Yes, domestic violence is bad, as is all violence. I am not trying to argue against that. There is a reason, however, that children are taught to separate fiction from reality at a young age, and I feel that this is why you are being ridiculed for this argument. A woman being hit as punishment, just as a man being hit as punishment, is a heinous act, but I doubt anybody watching this show would try to emulate the violence on display, at least on a scale that exceeds playfulness. Anybody who would would be deemed maladjusted in our society.
