Good. I remember seeing the page for this a few months ago, but I never suspected that it would actually happen.

It's beautiful.

Do you know what's SUPER AMAZING about all of this?

In the manga the title page that opens the volume is

thin Shinobu hugging her Snowmaru pillow beside Chihaya hugging her DB pillow. It was all a masterful troll on the mangaka's part.

people bitched about the ending so much, that when i finished it i was pleasantly surprised
its like anti-hype

 

[RurouniZel]

WTF? you never played Neverwinter Nights. What are you doing son? PLAY IT!!!

Nope, never played it. Dunno if I want to, doesn't look to interesting. :-/

Taste the rainbow!

Oh weird, the mangaka for Chihayafuru is the Flowers of Eden person? I'm surprised she made such a big comeback after being caught plagiarizing.

Cheers guys (and gals) Just read about Ano Natsu. Apparantly its made by the smae folks who made Toradora and AnoHana which I really liked (Screw the haters for AnoHana)

I'll probably watch that one.

But AnoHana was a bad show.

This is horrifying.

What have you done?

Oh god, it started? 0_o

Wait it's not just constrained to OVA format? O_O

It did more wrong in 30 minutes, than Ano Natsu did right in 11 episodes!!

Don't tell me you're anti-sexhair.

it's a really bad photoshop but at least she doesn't look like she's 60 with her normal hair

Ozma 1

Is it Ozuma or Ozma? Whatever.

I was promised technobabble, but that lasted like 2 seconds. People are lying to me . This show is really visually inconsistent, the plot seems interesting enough I suppose. The soundtrack is the best part of this show so far though imo.

 

[frostbyte]

But AnoHana was a bad show.

Come on, it wasn't that bad. Sure, everyone was bawling by the end and it's plagued by some of Okada's writing. It's still a pretty good watch and one of the better original anime introduced in recent memory.

Papakiki - 11

There are lines that should never be crossed and this episode did the salsa dance on that line.

We had a Miu and Sora episode; does this mean this is the Hina episode? (I will watch after I finish these scores)

Your Diebuster knowledge is showing where everyone can see it!

What can I say, other than the Diebuster uniform designs are pretty distinct and memorable.

See, this is what I am talking about.

I'll admit the main turn off for me is the aesthetic. :-/ Petty, I know, but I just can't get excited looking at screens.

Feel free to ignore my opinion on quality games though; my most anticipated game this year is Atelier Meruru. :-/

No, it's a "you suck at being a father" episode.

 

[Branduil]

I would have to agree with this point - converting a novel into an anime is no easy task. It's not simply a matter of compressing the source material, serious care has to be taken in making sure the important elements of the work translate into the new format.

That's very true. At the same time there does seem to be a distinct difference in the quality of Okada's work when she adapts something as opposed to creating something new.

 

[madp]

I think that it would be kind of hard to infer what character the episode focuses on just based on there being questionable content. The uncomfortable pandering seems to be abundantly applied to all of the girls.

True I'm sure there was a bath scene in every episode bar the last 2 eps.

The pandering is exceptionally bad this ep though, even by the shows own standards.

Berserk Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey - Trailer
http://youtu.be/iHNWVSBLyug?hd=1

*orgasm*

You know, I really wish these movies were badly shot. As in, I'd like the cinematography to be absolute garbage. Then, at least, you could write the whole project off as the work of an untalented director and team.

However, the way these movies are shot fairly well. The camera work is dynamic and powerful and the director clearly knows how to create certain emotions and feelings in the audience through the use of language of film. However that doesn't stop the art from being god awful. It's really such a shame that Berserk has become this ugly CG waste of time. I really can't bare to watch it.

Here is the sequence of events for Chihayafuru

Pretty damn amazing.

 

[Reknoc]

I see... I never would've guessed. I know haly was watching that but you...

Actually I never watched it, I just checked out the opening because it was the same band as Un-Go's ending.

You keep talking like she's a real person, when we all know that it's just an algorithm.

Man, I wonder what random old guys on the street are trying to feed the loli this time.

The recent events of Chihayafuru just prove how much of a non-character the Queen is when the most exciting thing about her is her look.

Take out the first four episodes, and they're all pretty much like that unfortunately.
