Fire prohibited. <3 Don't burn, be moe!

The visuals of these films will never cease to amaze me, the tone, texture and lighting is just GOD TIER - despite them cutting back on frames, which makes moving animation a little less fluid. Unfortunately most of the films are narratively weak (lol nasu), with the exception of film 2. Hopefully part 2 of the second film - also being the conclusion of the series - is a strong one.



Awesome dramatic lighting, they also had dust specks floating around being reflected in the rays of light, so much attention to detail to create very realistic and atmospheric settings. blu-ray release fucking where?

This seasons in animu (summer)

Bakemonogatari - Easily and outstandingly the best show of the season. Admittedly not for everyone, as it's very very SHAFT - Shinbo is not holding back at all for this.
Narrativly it's dialogue upon dialogue - although a lot of the "puns" are based on word play(lost meaning) - what does get successfully translated is quite witty, smart and sometimes geniunely funny.
I was expecting Chiwa Saitos trademark tsundere voice - and was a little disappointed when I first heard it wasn't - but holy shit she does an amazing job in this, she gets it down perfectly, infact I'd go as far as to say her performance in this is making or breaking the show - considering how dialogue heavy it is ...and how much of it is from her character. A very very different Chiwa Saito, but still very awesome.
OPs - They suck, I am disappoint. But considering they are making a new OP per each arc - hopefully at least one will be awesome.
ED - Lazy, crappy some out zoom of an image(an awesome image) for first 3 eps. 4th ep seems to be the real one, it's decent. The song itself is pretty catchy, and is actually done by the miku hatsune group supercell with vocals by Gazelle (credited as nagi), her voice is awesome tbh, especially for a non-professional - here are a few of her vocaloid covers: Melt, World is Mine.

CANAAN - It's sugoi, with lots of sugoi for sugois, right? No not really, pretty generic crap so far, but the Type-Moon designs help - Canaan herself kind of looks like a mix of arc, shiki and seiba.


And the only other thing I've picked up so far is spicy wolf 2 which is uneventful enough for me to not care about writing up a review for.
Meanwhile, 3 shows? Some kind of record low? Sugoi monogatari bakemono.

endless eight (6+ and counting)

this isn't funny anymore

Super Driver > Bouken Desho Desho

WELL AT LEAST SOMETHING GOOD CAME OUT OF THIS TRAIN WRECK.



will be looping it (endlessly).

kyon-kun denwa

another week, and endless eight is still ENDLESS

In a way I'm impressed that they have the balls to troll everyone like this, I mean this can't be good for their revenue since they are re-animating each episode.

*RUMOUR from 2chan

Umm... I guess it's okay now?

Endless Eight was organized to be produced as 6 episodes.
Kadokawa's back sponsor got furious and by the time it was too late, the producer had been fired.
There was huge confusion over whether they were going to skip the produced 4th and 5th episodes and skip to airing the 6th.

By the way, the 6 ep organization was Kadokawa's instructions.
The fired producer was a scape goat to appease the angry back sponsors.
Kadokawa's ultimate goal was to blow smoke over the fans by having 12 episodes that would consist of E8, Sigh, and a new Mikuru's adventure.
And the disappearance images they had pulled from would remain exactly that... (Unsure)
Currently Kadokawa does not feel like animating Disappearance

This gives the feeling that the purpose of this new production is simply to pull money from the fans (Extreme paraphrase)

I think we'll be seeing some other things "disappearing" ha ha ha ha. Dropped.

But honestly, rumour doesn't look very credible, how could they possibly think they would be MAKING MONEY from trolling with this many EE episodes, I mean you'd have to be fucking retarded to not realise the reaction it would generate and it just doesn't make sense if they didn't actually plan for such a reaction. Chances are "real" episodes will pop up on the DVDs, or a "real" season will be announced after this endless trolling (H O P E FULLY). At least now we know the reason why they refused to officially announce season 2, will be interesting to see what's in store/how they dig themselves out of this one.
