Ouch a bad blow for Kyoto Animation. but if they take any lesson away from that I suspect it'll be that they need to stick to their cash cow franchises(Upcoming K-on Movie), which would be a sad fate for such an obviously talented studio.

AnoHana
So great seeing the Toradora/Railgun Staff getting gang buster sales with AnoHana.




June's Purchases.

I have to say NIS doing a fantastic job with their DVD releases and can't wait for their first BD release with Katanagatari.

No one really knows what this show is about. all CM been nothing but confusing mess. if you've seen Revolutionary Girl Utena then you should know Kunihiko Ikuhara isn't your typical director.

Needs more Fullmetal Panic!

Hard to say Kyoani is talented when the only really original shit they did was Munto.

Everything else is either some Key or light novel/manga adaptation, and they've been pretty much doing nothing but cash cows since Haruhi.

[Gulkeeva]

Man last I heard/seen of Higurashi it was mindless murder and killing blood everywhere, now an ecchi anime O_o

also... *add to list Mayo Chiki!* to download!

There are very few studios who create original anime (BONES, Sunrise, IG?). Most can't even do adaptions correctly so well done adaptions are nothing to scoff at. I don't see how creating original stories is the sole determination of if a studio is talented or not - animation, composition, sound has to come into play as well.

Blade Anime Ep1
Lol... this show is so repetitive, predictable and badly animated with a lot of dark interiors and night scenes. also I get it Blade's mom was bitten by a vampire, you don't need to repeat that shit for the whole episode to get that point across and don't get me started on that retarded woman who's suppose to be a vampire hunter.

Blood-C EP1


The Good:
Great transition of CLAMP character designs to animation.
Great Soundtrack(Love the OP).
Quality Action with excellent animation.

The Bad:
80% of the episode was Slice of Life BS.
Lame and unfunny humor.
Moe characters.
Action scene was 3 minutes long.

Pretty interesting show we have here, nothing really makes sense beyond the initial premise and They're trying to do a scatterbrained plot narrative that I assume will converge together at some point, but it doesn't really work completely, so the result ends up being kind of boring. still It's beautifully animated and the action is effectively directed, and Saya the main character is likable enough.

I'm just saying that most of their famous anime is just riding on the tailwind of famous original source to begin with.

[Man0warr]

I guess, most anime is made to promote the original source (manga, novels) though. Who do you think pays for the anime to be made? Usually the publishers/music companies - BD/DVD sales are just gravy and used to gauge interest for more seasons.

[Gulkeeva]

Blood C OP looks good, and finally last exile...~!

[Scythiroth]

Downloading Last Exile again to watch after seeing that announcement. >.> Been so long since I last saw it, really looking forward to Last Exile 2. The opening is still fantastic from the original.

Kamisama no Memochou Ep1
That was okay, I guess. Kind of slow start for such a long introductory episode, but there were some solid moments in there. The premise is pretty funny(Gosick mixed with Durarara), although I don't think the characters have really shown that much depth yet. Hopefully they'll start actually going somewhere with whatever they're trying to do in the next episode.

Lastly. Fuck you Japan for complaining for the lack of fanservice, I wanted to pull my eyes out with the one they showed near the end.

Uta no Prince-sama Maji LOVE 1000%

I am not sure why the hell I'm watching a reverse Harem. I guess I like to torture myself just to hear the great voice of Wakamoto Norio as the principal but truthfully that wasn't bad at all, especially if your the opposite sex and adore handsome men.

Wow, talk about forced dojikko on Blood-C, it's like every aspect of the character is greatly exaggerated...

The action sequence is somewhat interesting, but I have a feeling it won't even get past my 3 episode checkpoint if the pacing remains like this

Yeah just watched first ep of Blood C and I must say I'm a bit disappointed...but probably because I had such high hopes for it.
Both in animation and character design it's definitely more Clamp than it is P:IG which just feels a bit off to me. Maybe it's because it has been a while since I've watched anything clamp.
Can't really judge the story at this point, of course. Characters seem interesting enough though.
I'll probably end up watching it all the way through just out of curiosity....

[Tymon]

I'm waiting until Thursday to watch it probably, hope the series is interesting.

[Avvesione]

I like the new ED for Nichijou, can't say the same for the new OP. Second season started off very well but only during the part with Mio and Yukko (jokes sucked this episode).

New OP and ED for Tiger and Bunny are worse, too. I feel like we are missing a ton of development between Tiger and Barnaby but whatever. Like what they're doing with the new developments in this episode with Tiger. Hopefully there's more action next time and a more 'hero' based story.
