I didn't know anything about what Chihayafuru was about, but the .gifs and the S1 thread getting pinned (so, hey, props to Zorak on that at least) got me to check it out mostly blind.

and those are fictional characters who exist within that same culture (and are usually convinced too think otherwise), not real people

So you're arguing that the characters in Chihayafuru aren't realistic? That sounds dumb and wrong...

Karuta will probably sound stupid to most people who hear about it. This doesn't make Chihayafuru a worse show or anything, and you probably shouldn't take it as some weird attack on the show itself, much of the point of which is saying "Actually, karuta is really cool!" And by god, it's right.

I'm saying the characters in the show have some basis to their dismissal, since karuta is something they've all encountered (albeit as a school assignment). so i don't find their dismissal as odd or potentially loaded as a real person

I mean if someone told me they didn’t really care to find out more about a sport based on old Japanese poetry I wouldn’t blame them?

Unless your problem is the use of the word “weird” then okay I guess

I just finished episode 13 (the end of the practice match against Nekoma) of Haikyu and so far it has been pretty good but the hype made me think it was going to be amazing.

anyway i missed where this was all started by someone who is actually watching and enjoying the show in spite of being initially turned off, so guess this was pointless

Karuta is fun as heck. Being a spectator is also really fun!

Sadboy Shogi continues to rule. Loli-Shogi show is ok and this week's episode (and the previous) featured a Smug Shark Teeth Lady voiced by Haruka Tomatsu being creepy and channeling Ginko The Other Ginko Girltoki at points.

I do think Haikyuu is amazing but I couldn't tell you when in the show I thought that

It owns tho. I'd like to read the manga but I found it kinda hard to follow, but that must mostly be me

I think the second season, especially the rematch with Aoba Johsai, is when it goes from a good sports show to absolutely fantastic

new original anime by goro taniguchi, from geass, planetes and the such


The series begins with a message: "This is a prediction. An extreme crisis will befall the five of you someday. At that time, you five will protect everyone." Daisuke Dōjima is a second-year high school student who, as a child, was kidnapped. Daisuke, along with his friends Gai, Lū, Marimari, and Keisaku, get wrapped up in the mysterious phenomenon known as the "Shibuya Drift." The central area of Shibuya rises up and is transported at least 300 years in the "future." What awaits them is a vast wasteland and forest dotted with ruins. There, they will work with the future people "revisions" to operate giant mechanical monsters. Daisuke meets a girl named Milo, who has the same name as the person who kidnapped Daisuke. Milo informs Daisuke that he's the only one who can operate the "doll weapon String Puppet" and protect Shibuya. Daisuke and his friends must take back the present by fighting the future in a town of isolation, against an unknown enemy.

Well, let's take inventory:
  • There's no Kirito, so points on that right out of the gate.
  • It's written/illustrated by the Kino's Journey team, who have largely consolidated their formula down to a science, instead of trying to throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
  • The guy in charge of the scripts for the anime seems to have the pedigree to do both action and drama fairly well, so hopefully that's not an issue.
  • The Studio's previous project was Princess Principal, which was rad.
  • The Director seems to have mostly worked on the animation director side of things on previous works, only directing... *quick google* the adaptation for Kamen no Maid Guy. Huh. :geno:
So maybe something cool will come out of this? :)

Which Kino’s Journey team? Because as I remember, the more recent series wasn’t all that well-directed.
