Shaft should just make more Hidamari Sketch. I guess there isn't enough new content to adapt, though.

I feel like the writer of the -gatari books is like the Joss Whedon of anime. Both rely pretty heavily on rapid fire back and forth dialogue that nerds eat up, for some reason. Both also like their waifs a lot, though Joss Whedon at least has cultural constraints keeping them from writhing around on the ground with invisible penis-snakes in their mouths.

Maybe let's not jump to the "gently caress you Japan" next time. I'm kinda madder about Ryo Wada (who is a loving hack) and Keiya Mizuno being that popular. And while I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Nisio's work, I do reckon that dude is dedicated to his craft. I was completely in the dark about Murakami coming up with a book of short-stories, though. Lucy Heartfilia posted:What the gently caress? It's a... thing that happens. The *monogatari series can be kinda weird like that.

I, uh, watched before the BRs came out and that wasn't in the on-air version (due to budget problems, believe it or not). Maybe it's heinous, I'm not about to check.

I dropped Bakemonogatari at the first pantyshot with accompanying explanatory monologue, which was roughly 5 seconds in, so I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to call the series bad.

They would have to get some REALLY good animators to make up for the fact that Kaoru Mori's art is so goddamn pretty to look at. Like: What Kentaro Miura does for Lovecraftian-level abominations and nightmarish landscapes, Mori does it for period dresses, mountain villages and... gently caress, now I really want to see it animated.

The lack of detail in the clothing to make it suitable to animate would be a gigantic loss, for sure.

Clearly you haven't watched any anime targeted towards women if you think that lady anime fans are less pervy than the dudes.

And, yeah, there’s a lot of sexual tension here. It’s dripping. It’s as thick as toothpaste.

Well there's this http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/mado-no-mukougawa-r5105 which has all of 4 chapters in english, because for some reason no one translates her stuff. That's the only non-Hidamari thing of hers other than some random one shots I've seen scanlators touch at all.

I'm going to say this is the same problem I have with that lovely Twintails show, but at least the 'gatari can do something interesting with it. I find Katanagatari the most enjoyable because it actually has some meat to its shaggy dog story.

Cross Ange is an excellent show, what are you talking about? I really liked that recent episode where Ange rescues that ancient dragon and they forge a contract to save both humans and dragons from alien invaders.

I can't even tell if that's made up or not. Twintails had an owl monster that went undercover by wearing an owl mascot costume and that was a hoot.

I really have loved Twintails, but a recent episode had an underaged girl naked in a dog collar barking on screen as part of the MC's fantasy and it's heavily implied that sort of thing is her fantasy as well and I'm just not sure the jokes and toku references are worth it any more.
