One of these days, Cajun. One of these days. BELIEVE.

That or Kyoani should make another mecha series.

There's no point to beg Fujimi Shobo for the rights to adapt it. The big push for Euphonium from KyoAni is merchandise. We're two months into the show and KyoAni has produced 78 pieces of merchandise for the show; way more than anything else at this point in scheduling. They wouldn't get the rights to produce scale mecha, so there's utterly no benefit to producing it other than a small amount of disc sales.

I'd beg Fujimi Shobo to produce it with staff at another studio; there's no business sense for it and your hope is futile.

Another mecha show is possible, but there's little motivation to do so. Of course Gundam and Eva are big names, but the market has shifted away from that and there's fewer good timeslots to promote that merchandise to a new audience. You're better off adapting character dramas than mecha at this point.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but reality has to be faced at some point. I believed in a third season of the Haruhi franchise for nearly 4 years, and it was hard to accept that it wasn't going to happen anytime. That was on a much huger scale than Full Metal Panic as well. Celebrate what you had, curse Tokyopop for screwing up the novel situation in English, and move forward.

 

[cajunator]

Oh right, also, Sound! Euphonium while has gotten better has not lived up to the hype.

How would it have lived up to hype? Like what could they do differently?

DNA2 1-2
Decided to watch some since it was recently added to crunchyroll. Wow at how stupid this is. Especially with the Mega-playboy powers turning him into a saiyan basically.

Wish someone would bring back Gatekeepers.

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm happy with the completely unbias OP. heh.

 

[Despera]

Don't know if this has been posted before but here's a new trailer for the upcoming Ghost in The Shell movie

After Arise I can't say I'm awfully excited.

 

[Shard]

Learning what dramatic tension is would be a good start.

 

[TUSR]

Posting a disclaimer on piracy under a fullsized embeded scan of a Nyantype pinup is kinda hilarious to be honest.

I just grabbed it from the last thread. I'll get rid of it.

I'm happy with the completely unbias OP. heh.

Didnt get time to fill the rest of it out before work.

The market is ripe for a serious take on the character drama mecha formula, in the vein of Infinite Stratos but with Quality™ writing.

 

[Theonik]

So it's the final AnimeGaf thread then.

This will be our final mission.

 

[names2hard4you]

This will be our final mission.

Time to put our game faces on.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Hibike! Euphonium is the best anime of the season so nice OP.

 

[Narag]

I guess I can watch anime again unless you guys turn this one to shit too!!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Oh yes we get an Akashi Kuroko wedding

 

[striferser]

Oh hey, new thread!

Even without yuri bait, i'm still going to watch Hibike, because sensei is awesome and i want to see more of him.
Mad Max: Fury Road (not yet out in Japan)

Show is awesome. This show taking the best part from Road Warrior and thunderdoom, and applied modern cinema technique to it. And there's a dude rocking with a guitar that fire flamethrower on top of huge car equipped with huge ass amp. Great car chase, easy to understand plot, and boy, shit is craaaaaazy

 

[Saudades]

Time to put our game faces on.

 

[cajunator]

Like Shin Sekai Yori?

 

[Shard]

Also, I guess people have finally found that show to rally around for the season, well, for the moment.

I hitched my ride firmly to the Show By Rock wagon.

 

[CheapJuice]

Seraph of the End - 09

Fisted

fuck the cast give me her and shinoa against the world.
I bet Eren is going to junk up 5 of those power up pills and ofcourse be able to survive. Since stuff is actually happening in the last episodes I'm finding this to be more entertaining.

Background imagedump

 

[Shard]

I hitched my ride firmly to the Show By Rock wagon.

Personally I am going with The Heroic Legend of Arslan.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Can somebody tell me if Seraph of the End is decent?

And isn't saying it because of pretty boys goggles? lol

 

[lonely]

It's so very mediocre and by the numbers that it is boring to watch. Just check out the background image dumps instead.

Not watching but Arise might very well be the best anime airing this season !

This will be our final mission.

One day I'll buy PS3 and finally play this game.

It's not great, but it works if you like nice backgrounds and a smug companion with the occasional good bits

As true and harsh as this is, part of me still wants to hold out hope. But yeah, I guess you have a point.

At least there's always the manga.

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE WATCHING EUPHONIUM WHEN YOU COULD BE WATCHING THIS.

 

[Basileus777]

It's not a good show.

I am thoroughly enjoying it to be honest, and no pretty boy goggles here. Now on the other hand, let me tell you all about this girl:

 

[cajunator]

Surely this is the real final mission!

Whenever I see futuristic jets I think of the long forgotten anime Yukikaze.

More like this

 

[CheapJuice]

Avoided then

We suffer so you don't have to.

 

[VRMN]

We suffer so you don't have to.

It's so bad, but then Shinoa says something and I go, "goddammit, not dropped." Every week.

 

[Enron]

Surely this is the real final mission!

why wont bandainamco give me an AC:Zero HD remaster WHY WHY WHY

Animegaf's slogan most assuredly

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE WATCHING EUPHONIUM WHEN YOU COULD BE WATCHING THIS.

I needed a show to replace Triage X.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

To think that my season is going to end with Dungeon Harem as my second anime of the season.

DanMachi is like the definition of "why is this even watchable, let alone enjoyable or good?"

 

[cajunator]

DanMachi is like the definition of "why is this even watchable, let alone enjoyable or good?"

Danmachi might come in third or worse on my list.

 

[Sölf]

Not enough YEEART! in the title.

 

[Shard]

DanMachi I skipped because of the stupid name.

 

[Sölf]

Hibike! Euphonium is the best anime of the season so nice OP.

We all know that's Ninja Slayer.

Edit: Or Arslan Senki or Show by Rock!

 

[Despera]

Not watching but Arise might very well be the best anime airing this season !

Only watched the first two Arise OVA releases, which aren't anything to write home about. I hope what you say is true though as I plan on watching the rest of the OVA + tv series.

 

[strangedopamine]

Whenever I see futuristic jets I think of the long forgotten anime Yukikaze.

I've actually heard of that one recently. Is it any good?

why wont bandainamco give me an AC:Zero HD remaster WHY WHY WHY

They're still sucking people's wallet's dry in Ace Combat Infinity. There is apparently something happening for the series' 20th anniversary though. I'm hoping for an Ace Combat 3 remake myself!

Spoiler

I've only payed for the campaign so they've barely gotten any money out of me from Infinity.

 

[cajunator]

DanMachi I skipped because of the stupid name.

The name is 100% VN schlock thats for certain.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

DanMachi I skipped because of the stupid name.

I skipped it because of those stupid boob strings. But then I watched it and it easily has one of the best battles of the season. So much emotion.

 

[Haly]

Learning what dramatic tension is would be a good start.

Serious?

The mountain walk is one of the best scenes in modern anime, up there with Benten flying through the trees.

Its not that great really but its something obscure if somebody wants to watch a show out of the limelight.
its your typical high tech sentient jets fight an alien menace to save Earth kind of thing. Very heavy on early cg.

 

[VRMN]

DanMachi I skipped because of the stupid name.

The sad thing is it's probable that the author just wanted to go with "Familia Myth" as the title but was basically forced to go with the LN dreck title because that's what sells now, depressingly.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Apparently there's a game called Yandere Simulator? You can like make your own school girl yandere and like kill people. What the fuck haha.

 

[Shard]

Yes, I am serious and also for the record that was romantic tension I am talking about the half-baked sports underdog story that you probably already forgotten about.
