Iso praises the Flip Flappers ED, and then: “Projects like Flip Flappers just aren’t the right venue when it comes to making use of Oshiyama’s talents. Obviously the fault lies with the producer(s), too; how could they see that ED then have him make some random moe anime from it?”

maybe he just thought the ED was way better than anything in the series, and well,

It's a little weird - I can't really think of many creative choices Flip Flappers made that seem like they're concerned with mass-market appeal, and I don't know what other sorts of things meddling executives would be inclined to demand from a show.

executives and producers make demands or suggestions on creative teams that may not be apparent from the final product, it's not that unusual

I think it was mentioned in that other interview that the magical girl transformations were something the producers asked for, as an example. It was originally going to be less action-focused.

After the first episode I thought it would be a magical girl show without overt magical girl transformations and I was disappointed when that wasn't the case

the magical girl transformations take up maybe two minutes across the entire series, theyre very short and aren't even used in every episode. i dont see the big deal.

It's just something different to not have them?

It's a bit much for binge watching, but it's not too bad if you watch it kinda spread out. I think I slowly watched it over the course of like 2 years.

but then how will you keep up with its elaborate non-chronological storytelling?

The 3rd Little Witch Academia episode was a lot of fun, the cast is so delightful. I know it makes total sense but I'm still a little disappointed that they had to start with Akko being introduced to the magic school rather than like the OVA. It's led to some pretty cute scenes but it still feels like those first few awkward intro episodes in some sports shows where the useless main character gets led by the nose through basic concepts that everyone else is totally comfortable with

otoh it let them put akko in a cannon

Not true, I went into Tsukihime totally blind. I picked up a file called 'Tsukihime [ENG].zip' without knowing anything about it or type moon. I would have had a very different reaction (and maybe have not even picked it up) if I had known anything prior.

It's super rare but when you do actually blindly find something good it's a pretty neat experience.

presumably you knew you were watching something, probably an anime, and you knew the title. that's not blind

its a pedantic argument but i really don't think there's anyway possible to go into something blind and its good to acknowledge subjective conditions, even if just to yourself
