What if Non Non Biyori Repeat is exactly the same content as season one but with different camera angles?
Y'know, 'cause it's called Non Non Biyori Repeat

Still AOTY material.

 

[Ice Lightning]

Got my No Game No Life LE in the mail. Appears I got #58! Still have to finish some spring season shows before I watch this, but I will enjoy listening to the OSTs in the meantime.

Classic gag manga Osomatsu-kun gets new anime adaptation.





Director: Yoichi Fujita (Gintama)
Series Composition: Shu Matsubara (Gintama)
Character Design: Naoyuki Asano (Saint Young Men, Shiranpuri)
Art Director: Seiki Tamura (K-ON!, Lupin III: The Woman Named Fujiko Mine)
Music: Yukari Hashimoto (Penguindrum, Yuri Kuma Arashi)
Production: Studio Pierrot

With the staff on this project, I think this has the potential to be quite worthwhile. I can already see that Asano is using the white character highlights he used to such great effect in Saint Young Men.

Yeah the Staff looks really great. I mean the Gintama staff is on it. Plus the music.

 

[KenjiGlove]

The best part of the first Charlotte episode was that girl who helped out Lelouche in getting the other girl.

I really didn't saw that one coming, what a twist!

 

[Theonik]

I don't think there are 140 episodes and counting of Dog Days!

No but I refuse to progress to the next few episodes in the agreement without the rest of what is predicted in the bloodpact.

What if they pull an endless eight?

 

[Gbraga]

Completely agree, haha, that was a really nice scene.

He chose the wrong girl though.

You know I'm still not use to Key designs especially that chick the MC had a crush on. It's the eyes I'm telling you.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

The G-Tekketsu site is slowly revealing the MS visual:

I'm way more interested in this than I think I should be. Bulky gundam models play on my heartstrings.

Brah if that's the case then it means it's gonna be contender for AOTS.

 

[KenjiGlove]

The sisters face is like 50% eye or something, that's one of the reasons why I don't like her. The other girls look a bit better but I'm also not really used to their design.

Completely agree, haha, that was a really nice scene.

He chose the wrong girl though.

This guy knows what's up.

Clannad was so much worse than this though design wise. This one already resembles other shows out there. The Clannad cast's eyes were the size of ostrich eggs.

Yeah, I know it's from Kanon and *cough*Kamichama Karin*cough*. Still funny!

God, Clannad is awful. I never touched it in any form because of the disgusting character design. People go on and on about how sad it is, but I just can't. It's so bad.

Spoiler

Yeah, I know it's from Kanon and Air. Still funny!

Thanks for the nightmares

I'm okay with this, almost done rewatching Non Non Biyori and it's still #1.

"Huge EYES"

Kanon 2006 looks better then the image that's shown there, but does AIR really look like that though? I like KEY and all, but that's a little hard to look at.

 

[AquaWateria]

Spoiler

Did they think eyes like that looked good?

 

[Mandelbo]

Kanon 2006 looks better then the image that's shown there, but does AIR really look like that though? I like KEY and all, but that's a little hard to look at.

You know, I did say it's from Air, although admittedly I haven't seen it and a quick scan on MAL doesn't come up with any character that looks like the one on the left. I can't think of anything else I haven't seen that has the eyes though, so I think it's fair to assume that yes, Air does look like that.

e: some more searching among the kyoani animated KEY shows still doesn't come up with a character that looks like the one on the left. She must be a relatively minor character in Air, then.

ee: disregard what I said!

 

[phaze]

For goodness sake, stop quoting it.

Let me give you a very crash course of the situation in Gundam UC timeline before 0080.

The Earth Federation is basically a global government that is basically the main government for Earth and the space colony. Think of them as NATO. The Zeon is basically the rebel or opposition government who oppose the main government as they think of them as old rich man who have no idea how the people of space live. Think of them as Germany.

Basically, both side don't like each other and a war spill out because of it. The Zeon military force is like what Nazi Germany military is, not a huge military but what they got is very professional and strong force. The Earth Federation is like USA military in the WWII, not too great but compensate in quantity of military equipment.

The sad side of this war is that the Earth Federation isn't a good guy that you expected and you can say the same as Zeon as they isn't always bad then they want you to believe. This is shown a bit in the original show Mobile Suit of Gundam.

For the show, the Arctic base you see in the 1st episode is actually a Earth Federation military base. What happened is the Zeon special force you're following is suppose to infiltrate the military to located a special mobile suit and destroy it (while at the same time destroy the base). Unfortunately, it didn't go as plan as you see, so the special force you're following, have to go to space to located the mobile suit in one of the colony. During this time, they have to bring in a new officer as they're one man short. This officer is Bernie who isn't an ace pilot and you see got shot down in the 1st episode. This also tell you that the Zeon force is running out of officer that they have to bring in someone as a rookie in a special force which isn't a good sign and also foreshadowing something later.

I do hope this help you give a rough idea of what is happening. Hope you like this show as it might be one of the better Gundam show in Gundam saga which is funny when you think about it.

Woah thanks for this. It certainly helped.

Dragon Ball Super 01

Worse than GT.

The OP/ED combo at least.


The SoL episode was okay but a few more of them and my reserves of nostalgia will quickly run out. And the antagonist looming over the horizon is awful so I don't have high hopes. And how is this story even supposed to work ? Are they going to just air the earlier movie with Bills during the Tv slot or are they going to rework and expand it ?

Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold 03-07

Still better than the second half of Omega !

lol at Aphrodite jobbing yet again.

 

[Cornbread78]

It's rather unfortunate that you wouldn't watch one of the best anime series ever because of the size of their eyes... It's an amazing experience..

You're telling me it gets worse?

Not quite as bad..

 

[Gbraga]

Not quite as bad..

LMAO, wtf, oh god.

 

[Arcadius]

Not quite as bad..

See, that's something I could most definitely watch, I like the big eyes to be honest.

 

[Cornbread78]

LMAO, wtf, oh god.

Ok, they are still pretty big on other shots..

Dammit, now the feels are coming back. .

 

[Puruzi]

Not quite as bad..

that's actually awful

 

[Gbraga]

Please, stop, I'm in tears already, I can't take this anymore.

 

[AquaWateria]

So this is what absolute suffering is by Key designs.😑

 

[phaze]

You're telling me it gets worse?

Oh yes, very much so. It's rather fascinating actually. At times when watching it, you think it can't sink any deeper, that the rock bottom has surely already been reached but this just shows, how naive you're to underestimate the overwhelming power of Dark Cosmo burning within bright minds at Toei.

 

[Cornbread78]

Please, stop, I'm in tears already, I can't take this anymore.

Now you just have to watch it to experience true tears.
In order if emotional impact it's
Clannad> Kanon (2006)> Air

All worth your time..

 

[Crash Station]

I know I watched Air at one point in my life, but I don't remember a thing about it. Like, even seeing gifs doesn't spark any kind of memories. Must have been damn unforgettable to me.

Wow. And I actually did think about going back to it, thinking "well, surely it could only get better from there".

Thank you for saving me time, I guess.

Nowhere near as impactful as Clannad or even Kanon.. a lot of metaphorical themes..

 

[Phatmac]

It wouldn't be AnimeGaf without some Key bashing to start off the day.

 

[R_thanatos]

Guys i'm trying to eat , this discussion about the eyes is too much ..
Too much

 

[Saudades]

Not quite as bad..

Why is her nose shape-shiftin...oh that's her mouth.

 

[Cornbread78]

I don't wanna lose my sanity.

Oh it's easy to do that, but there is a balance and it is very worth the temporary insanity, lol.

Lol, henchmen my *special note* in the Charlotte OT, lol.

Art style certainly isn't for everyone.

Gatchaman Crowds 9

Oh this is getting real good. I'm loving the campaign Gatchaman did with Rui. That was a good confrontation towards JJ that Sugane did.

 

[John Blade]

Woah thanks for this. It certainly helped.

No problem. If you do need help to understand the show you're watching, do post it on your impression and if I see it, I will post what is happening so you have a good understanding of the show. Coming from Gundam Wing to Gundam 0080 isn't wise as you never saw the UC show but will give you a credit, you choose wise of one of the better show in the Gundam saga if you're into the story and character development than action scene. If you want pure action scene, would look into G-Gundam.

 

[MikeHattsu]

It's not a character from Air. It's a character from Kamichama Karin which has nothing to do with Key.

 

[Arcadius]

Now you just have to watch it to experience true tears.
In order if emotional impact it's
Clannad> Kanon (2006)> Air

All worth your time..

Clannad was really good, but the constant sad themes in Kanon that kept popping up are on an entirely different level than Clannad, ~After Story~ included. They both wrap up really well, but with Kanon, it's constantly pulling the heart strings, so it leaves quite the emotional impact.

 

[AquaWateria]

Gatchaman Crowds 10

Everyone is working together to defeat the crowds. It seems Katze is not stopping until he destroys Earth.

I'm loving it so far.

 

[zulux21]

Split-season is still better than just one season! Think positive!

you are right, I absolutely should think of it that way ^^

 

[Mandelbo]

It's not a character from Air. It's a character from Kamichama Karin which has nothing to do with Key.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I just assumed it was from Air given that the character was next to Makoto from Kanon, and Air is the only one of the Kyoani Key trio that I haven't seen - I thought they must have been related given the context of the image. Sorry for jumping to conclusions!

 

[zulux21]

I know, I believe people who say it's amazing, but I can't.

Clannad has a rather mediocre first half of the first season and is a great ride the rest of the way.
this is coming from someone whose knee jerk reaction to moe things is burn it with fire


on the flip side while I managed to force my way through kannon 2006 I wouldn't recommend that to anyone but lovers of brain damaged girls as every single girl says a different random nonsense noise at the end of every sentence, it's maddening and not cute @_@ (honestly the story wasn't too bad, but the girls completely and utterly ruined the show for me)

Air was ok, it was only one brain damaged girl, which was tolerable... gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao, cry, gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao gao....

I love moe shit, what I can't stand is the particular art style.

Charlotte is far more tolerable, didn't even know it was by the same people.

The nonsense noise thing also irritates me a bit, but not more than "cute girls" referring to themselves in third person.

Stop saying your fucking name, ffs. You're not a Pokemon.
