Cao Ni Ma posted:Is this going to be entirely in mandarin? That would be an interesting thing to do with an anime. These CMs are for specific characters; today's was for the character Kon "China" Wenga, who I assume is Chinese. I'm going to guess they went with Mandarin for this CM because of that. The entire show wont be in a non-Japanese language.

The first CM was entirely in Japanese. e: f;b They used the Beijing dialect of Chinese, which is pretty neat if he is from mainland China.

From what I understand its getting decently close to the manga so they probably want to end it before it gets too close. Also, the show gets really good TV ratings; if anything I'd expect it to show back up eventually when there's more manga.

While I have no doubts on how this is going to turn out (garbage, most likely), sometimes I find it somewhat peculiar just how, for some shows, they seem to deliberately go out of their way and pick voice actors that look almost exactly like the character.

The only thing I'm looking forward to this season is more GJ-bu. This time I think they visit america for some reason. If it's a full series I'm probably gonna be the one to make the thread cause I loving loved gj-bu. Jojos should be p.cool too (where's my second season of oreshura japan).

I'm psyched for Mushishi, looking forward to Puchimas, and at least somewhat interested in One Week Friends, Coffin Princess, Mekaku City Actors, and maybe No Game No Life, but the season feels a bit thin for the number of series coming out and I usually think that people who start calling "bad season" in the pre-season thread are hyperventilating.

Serious Frolicking posted:Every season is the worst season ever in these threads. I ended up liking Winter a lot despite thinking it looked bleh initially, so I'm feeling unusually optimistic at the moment if anything. Nothing jumps out at me except Jojo though. I'm sure the sheer number of shows means a couple of them will be decent, I just can't get excited right now. Honestly, I think most of the initial pessimism is just (lack of) name recoginition at work. If it's not a sequel or an adaption of something you've personally read or done by a famous studio/director there isn't much to go off except a bit of artwork and those little blurbs that always suck and tell you nothing. It's a wonder I manage to get hyped in advance for anything, really. (I know there's preview vids too. I don't watch random trailors unless I'm already interested.)

I guess Jojo,Captain Earth, Mushishi and Ping Pong for me. And prooobably Mahouka's soundtrack but not the actual show. Madhouse why are you putting Iwasaki to work on an incest LNs soundtrack instead of your oh wait your other shows pretty dumb too

Heck even going off studios can be a bad thing because pretty much every studio except Shaft is big enough that they have several teams. Being burned by going off studios too many times is the main reason I really started paying attention to the names of directors and writers. I definitely recommend it; I personally enjoy new seasons a lot more that way. I'm also sure that there will be the usual surprise hit of the season. There's always at least one of those crappy premises that wind up being executed well.

Anyone who's even a little into sports anime should definitely give Haikyuu!! and Baby Steps a shot. I read every sports manga I can find and those two are some of the best I've ever read. pandaK posted:Can anyone who's read the Haikyuu! manga tell me how much shonen burning spirit is in it? I would say an above average amount. Here's a sample:

I played a little Blade & Soul and, granted I can't speak Mandarin, it seemed like some pretty standard Wuxia stuff. It's Gonzo and MMO plot though so I'll be avoiding it.

Something like 95% of the npc cast was composed of strong big tittied women fighting each other. This is going to be queens blade meets wuxia as envisioned and produced by Gonzo. Its going to be a horrible train wreck.

New summer thing by PA Works about a girl who wants to be a glass artisan. It's a weird premise, but then again I thought Nagi no Asukara would be poo poo when I first heard of it.

Nate RFB posted:If you were a fan of the Kara no Kyoukai film series, the new film (Mirai Fukuin) was just released. That movie is not bad, tad bit indulgent though. In many ways I thought they could have moved the story along a bit quicker and would have made the movie better even though it only clocks up to an hour and thirty minutes, which is about average for the series. The first 3 movies are still the best in tone and pace. After that, while still good, it's a bit of a diminishing returns as the movies got longer and slower.

I feel like it would have been better as a 2 or 3 part OVA rather than one large film; the story reaches multiple climaxes that each would have been decent stopping points for an episode. But for something that was basically "just" a side story, I found it quite fascinating. I think it's a better overall ending than the Epilogue movie that we wound up getting all those years ago at least.

# ? Mar 11, 2014 03:23 |

The original epilogue was pretty bad in both book and film form so that's not really an accomplishment. I haven't watched Mirai Fukuin yet but I read the short story back when the film was announced and liked it, I have faith in ufotable to do well with source material that's at least decent. It definitely has a good Kalafina song attached though. Alleluia

I thought the 7th film missed the mark very badly. It's also has the longest running time, which somewhat fits the fact it's based on the thickest chapter, and the movie really suffers from it. I really do think they mishandled the climax of the movie there and overall made the whole thing far too melodramatic than what was necessary. Considering how exciting and to the point the first movie was, it really brought into contrast how much of a stilted stumbling mess the 7th movie is compared to it. And yes, Alleluia is a great song and a darn good way to send the series off.
