Ridiculously hype for this, I love Morishima Akiko's art even if her stories are total and utter fluff and with Ikuhara on writing duties this probably won't be so fluffy.

Yeah, Morishima is great at what she does. Even with the focus on the main characters' panties(?), I'm excited about this just because of her.

I found a preview of Cross Ange and immediately recognized Akiko Shikata as the composer of the music. I'd almost watch it for that alone if the show isn't completely terrible it probably is

Gotta say, I want to trust a reviewer who makes these kinds of statements: "Good/netural elements include the incestual/pedophilic (both my own words?) hints from Ange's brother to their little sister Sylvia."

But yeah unsurprised Cross Ange is garbage!

With those character designs this was on shaky ground as it was. Dropped for sure.

Tribe Cool was more the modern "this is solo dancing" kind and not for old grumpy asses like me. If it gets kids into dancing and moving around more that'll be good, I would have been boned if I had not spent my youth hours doing that.

i bet if we all watched and post in a thread about that show with the scantily-clad big titted mecha pilot ladies we could find so many flaws in the narrative and plot that it would be like an episode of that mystery science theater show. we would all just be riffing and typing out hilarious jokes it would be such a fun time.

So, basically the Mahouka 2.0 thread? Also, I'm interested in knowing who did the character designs, because while reading that article (no :stare: icon big enough, by the way), the way one of the characters looked reminded me of C.C. for some reason.

e: I've been told off like that more than once. Often with hilarious results! :negative:

Character designs are by Sayaka Ono, who did key animation for Code Geass.

I was still set to watch this when it was girls in stupidly fanservicey outfits piloting giant robots and fighting dragons with those giant robot. How do you ruin that so badly with one episode?

Yuusuke Matsu did the concepts and Sayaka Ono did the clean up on the character designs for anime. The main character kind of looks like Takahiro Kimura drew her in that screen shot of her crying. Maybe he animated that scene.

Edit: Kuroyama's probably right. Outside of work on the Space Dandy OP Kimura hasn't really done much years.

She said that that was fine because it was meant to evoke horror rather than presented as fanservice, which I guess makes sense? :shrug:

Was looking at cross ange's production team and yeah, I dont get why anyone would think this was going to be good. Like the director has some good work but its almost exclusively as a key animator and in some rare cases as a story board guy. The producers only noticeable job in the last decade was gundam seed. The writer has worked mostly on the script of children shows and must have some pent up issues because he wrote a manga called Vita Sexualis.

-really the only good thing that will be wasted here is the singer/songwriter with Akiko. drat shame too, its exactly the same with last seasons Mahouka and its composer Iwasaki.

This was in a show where a lingering panty shot immediately preceded an anal rape scene. Of course it was loving fanservice. The point is, even a crazy lady who makes excuses for incest and pedophilia couldn't like the show.

Part 2 airs tomorrow! They're straight up dumping it out there at the very start of the season.

The episode also has something that is definitely not inspired by the Big Zam, no sir

C'mon, what anime with a dude creeping on his sister is competent enough to do it in a non-fanservice context? How bout we not talk about the show that played anal rape for fanservice, TIA.




On another note, I just finished binging Barakamon. I know Nozaki is the currently the ADTRW favorite among summer comedies but I think Barakamon might have been my favorite for the season, if not the year. I'd say it perfectly fits as the Silver Spoon replacement for the season, and it constantly made me think back to last year's Kyousogiga (if you haven't watched it, do so right now). It was adorable, heartwarming, and utterly hilarious. I had a smile on my face the whole way through some of the later episodes, a feat even Nozaki didn't manage. It's seriously one of my personal contenders for show of the year.
