It was a good ride, yeah. And their willingness to showcase in a rather educational but also beautiful (romantic) manner all cosmic-related effects and physics played in their favour, I think. As an example from episode 8:

Oh, and the usual time-lines plot was used accordingly too! If I also had the opportunity to lift something from /a/, I'd bring 'chartbro' contributions instead, thank you (as spoilerific as they are, so please check them with this in mind as those explain the whole series' events):

Fortunately, this is not the first time Tsutomu Mizushima has handled so much projects at the same time, so I'm sure he can handle the pressure well... or, as a last resort, apologize gracefully and profusely in behalf of everyone involved when he doesn't meet the self-imposed quality guidelines, like he did during the first Girls und Panzer series delay (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/mizshima1941/e/8c0b3d10579d26c232ef4999031bd95e)!

Heh awesome thanks! And what's this God Eater news? Is it officially delayed, or are we talking about how they couldn't make it for the screening at the 5 years of God Eater event?

Isn't this rumored(??) Bones thing by Seiji Mizushima, not Tsutomu Mizushima?
Yup. It's the second coming of Un-Go, and the third coming of FMA Conqueror of Shamballa. The unstoppable combination of Mizushima, Aikawa, BONES, and original ideas!
P.S. It's not a rumor.
An original BONES anime, I'm scared.Yup. It's the second coming of Un-Go, and the third coming of FMA Conqueror of Shamballa. The unstoppable combination of Mizushima, Aikawa, BONES, and original ideas!

Thought there was some kinda funny stuff in here (wink):
Nick Scarpino from Kinda Funny tries to name Anime characters
Good to see Tim giving a shout out to DanMachi at the end lol. There's a 30 day trial for crunchy in this video for anyone interested.

Oh, shit! My bad, saw fertygo mentioning "Mizushima" plus "hottest name on industry right now" and somehow associated it with the Tsutomu one. Sorry!

I'm glad I caught up on the show last month. I honestly dont dislike her and can't wait to see Yamada wreck that restaurant some more lmfao.

I thought I saw Un-Go in there, amongst the porn
Thinking watching 1080p is anything but just 720p upscaled.
I guess that's the kinda funny thing about that video.

When they sponsor your shit, you are not gonna tell that to your viewers now are you lmfao.
Actually glad it's too hot to sleep this week so this can't give me nightmares.
I have a feeling you are right
Wait what? Are we talking about Crunchyroll 1080p? Why would it be 720p upscaled?

For better or worse Seraph is getting a Vita game. Someone needs to post that epic fight gif. That's gonna be what the game is like lmfao.

That Vita game looks like FF:Tactics so it's probably pretty cool.

Most shows aren't even produced in 720p anyway. 540p upscaled is most common.

Had to be stop motion to match with the show:

"Nick gives nicknames to characters/things he doesn't know anything about!"

Having two directors named Mizushima is confusing!
That yaraon link inserting Shirobako director image also confuse me, sorry..
And then they spoil School Days.

plan on making the movies into arcs for the TV show. I wonder if they'll just use the movie footage or extend it.

I kind of suspected they'd make arcs from the movies based on the 1st manga chapter
I thought it's been a mix of a lot of 720p anime and a few 1080p or close. I'm pretty sure Euphonium is 1080p, and Danmachi is at least 720p. I'm don't think I've seen or heard of a 540p anime in a few years now.

Did everyone who hasn't watched that monstrosity of a show a favour. LOL. Scars run deep in me still.
I guess I'm the only one who kinda like School Days. It sets itself apart from every other harem/romance out there at least.
Scars? Seriously? It's a fun show to watch but no fun if you know what's going to happen. There's a joy watching it unravel episode after episode as you piece things together yourself. It's not an experience one is likely to get much in animation so it's a pretty poor show to spoil it like that.
Guess I'm back....... Hello!
Pita Ten
So . A while ago Cajun and I were talking about cute anime one morning, this conversation led into a discussion about companies who have done the cutest of anime to watch which led to Broccoli; now the first anime Ive seen by them was the Galaxy Angel series. Thinking to myself, I decided that I should watch something else theyve produced and as such, we have Pita Ten; a two cour anime that is unbelievably cute, but has quite a twist at the very end.
The way Pita Ten is structured is like that of any other slice of life anime. Its episodic in nature, allowing itself to get away with no true over-arcing plot; sometimes I think its harder for anime studios to create something (goes for manga too) like this because each episode needs to be filled with an event or something, though there are plenty of clichés to use like going to the beach/ocean or having a festival, they havent gotten old or boring for me and in Pita Ten, those two clichés actually have a spin on them that is funny, cute and exposing in nature. Most slice of life, and Pita Ten included, typically wont expand on characters or develop them beyond what theyre like since we meet them, this is essentially true for Pita Ten as well. If you absolutely need characters to grow up or be developed, Pita Ten probably isnt for you.
In Pita Ten, we follow a small group of young kids; Kotarou, probably the most main of all the main characters involved, aside from Misha. Hes the reserved and level headed kid who has been through an incredibly difficult hardship so early in his life. His father is almost never home due to business so hes
. Its not until one day when an angel appears from nowhere and asks to go out with him that his life takes a turn for the better! (Or his life got twisted upside down
)
This angel is Misha, a super adorable mega cutie with long flowing pink hair. Shes not exactly the best angel there is since shes an apprentice, but thats okay, she makes up for it by trying her best and having one the cutest ways to talk in the world. Almost all her sentences end with the word desu shortened to just su. Its so cute that I think it competes with Ayus uguu~, Makotos auu~ and things like Ara ara or nyaa; I love love love it.
Along with Misha, we have Shia, who is an apprentice akuma (demon/devil). The most interesting thing about Shia is that even though shes a demon, shes actually more angelic than Misha could ever be. Shes neat, organized, clean, helpful and always caring and worrying about everyones feelings. Shia is a surprise too, since shes incredibly adorable and her quiet and refined speaking is just so much cute.
Another main girl is Koboshi (Pictured above), the youngest of the four girls, a classmate to Kotarou and having a mega huge crush on him; she has cat ears and is downright too cute, if too cute were a thing (not really), Koboshi is what it would be pictured by; large eyes, a cute voice, the cat ears, the adorable reaction faces, its actually unbelievably adorable.
The last girl is Hiroshis sister, Kaoru; her personality mimics that of Hiroshis and if it wasnt for how adorable she was, I dont think Id like her. Loud, wild and always seemingly in a bad mood, she throws fits and never really learns about the main cast. Its a good thing shes not a main at all and only appears for several episodes, I couldnt handle another Hiroshi. The best thing about Kaoru is her appearance. She wears long ribbons in her hair and the combination of her cute outfit and the ribbons makes for a beautiful combination. Shes a total cutie, but her personality isnt.
The rest of the cast is filled in by Ayanokouji Takashi, the stud of the show; hes the smartest, fastest, most athletic and all the girls swoon over him . So hes really just boring. We also have Hiroshi Mitarai the loud and obnoxious kid who always has to yell and get pent up on all things related to Takashi, he actually doesnt belong in this show at all and its the biggest problem I have with Pita Ten; which is sad, Ive never had an issue with an anime before, but the personality that Hiroshi encompasses is just too much for me to handle. Every scene hes in, its him getting angry and wild because Takashi is better than him at everything. Aside from one episode that expands on why he does this, he really should have been axed from Pita Ten.
Since Pita Ten has no story, the most important aspect to talk about is the ending really. Pita Ten changes directions ever so slightly and begins to really include drama. The last two episodes are chock full of dramatic moments that if tweaked a little, could fit into any Key produced anime. The whole
aspect that happens in anime is gut wrenchingly hard to watch. Kanon was the first anime where I experienced this and it wrecked me so hard, then Clannad had to have a similar story and of all the things I have watched, I never expected a show for kids to even go through such a scene. Sure we all know its going to end on a happy note, but that doesnt make it any easier to watch. It brought me to tears and was incredibly sad. A lot goes on too, the way we understand why Kotarou acts the way he does, the reasoning behind Mishas actions and most of all, the way it affects everyone.
One of the best aspects about Pita Ten is sound and art style. It enforces the for everyone rating by being incredibly adorable. The details of everyone and everything are really simple; in fact so simple that detail doesnt even exist. Its very plain, but not bland (dont ask me how). The colors are very light and easy going, the animation is most definitely simple and the entire world is just cute. The sound is really good in Pita Ten too. Huge props to the people behind it. One of the best BGMs that occurs is for when scary things are happening, the melody or beat involved is infectious and even now, after not hearing it for quite some time, I still know how it goes. There were a lot of other great BGMs too, a lot of the hectic scenes (or as hectic as they can be) have good music. The biggest surprise is the ED used. If youve ever seen Clannad then you know about Dango Daikazoku. The ED used in Pita Ten, the first three notes that you hear are so familiar to Dango youd think theyre the same. Every single time I heard those three notes, I felt the Dango song resonate through me, its made even better because the ED is slow and peaceful, unlike the OP. Speaking of which, the OP is much more Pita Ten than the ED. Its fast, its upbeat, it employs cute vocals and is very fun, whereas the ED is more akin to the last two episodes of the anime. Slow, peaceful, almost sad, but never actually being sad, its a special ED. NOTE: I may be hearing things that arent exactly there with the comparison between Dango and the Pita Ten ending, but its just what I feel. (Ill be watching Clannad again soon, because of this though).
So we have really cute characters, a nice episodic slice of life adventure, a cast that is almost perfection, adorable seiyuu performances, pretty art and an easy to watch anime. Its all really good, aside from my Hiroshi and Kaoru issues, which is really unfortunate. Even with the issues I had, I enjoyed Pita Ten a lot and although I didnt delve on it, its a good comedy too. The simple humor is enough to even get me to crack a smile and laugh out loud when Im down, so thats a pretty good testament for Pita Ten and its comedic values. Another thing I should mention is the romance angle planted within Pita Ten; its a polygonal love, where almost everyone likes someone who likes someone else. Its never expanded upon and there is never any development either, both the guys and girls will get giddy towards the one they like, but are ultimately ignored; since Pita Ten is about elementary students and is rated for all people to watch, it makes sense for the romance to never take off, but its a warning, a lot of lovey dovey face reactions happen and feelings are shown, just never go anywhere.
Before I forget, one of the cutest things shown in all of Pita Ten are the pajamas that Misha and Shia wear, full body pajamas and theyre incredible cute like seriously cute!!!
Pita Ten, 9/10 for me.
Agreed so much
Kind of happy I broke top 10, that's amazing. Maybe I can get top 5 next time.

Setting itself apart doesn't make a show inherently good. That's what I said about Ore Monogatari a bunch of times, too. Sure, it isn't your average RomCom romance, but it's unfortunately still not an interesting one.
It's supposed to work the other way round! It's shameful and the top 10 usually gets banned for a couple months. This time around it's just a rare exception.
