Still need a few more episodes to have a real opinion about Ookami-san, but the first episode was pretty funny. Curious where they go with the story though.

[Deadgye]

Only one I didn't really care for in the end, out of those, was Angel Beats. I really hate when girl designs look like that (Clannad type) but also the story wasn't that great for me.

</3 I absolutely loved the character designs and story. I should probably watch Kanon and Air so I can watch everything Key did.

[Serra]

It's been a few years, but I remember Air being so depressing >.>

Your probably going to love Kanon then. Just make sure you watch the 2006 version. Animation is so much better in the 2006 then the 2002 version.

Shukufuku no Campanella Ep1

-Average animation
-cliche female cast/male lead and stupid plot(Hello I'm your daughter, No this hasn't been done before).
-A harem you've seen a million times before.
-some of the voices annoyed me, and made my ears bleed.

They basically wasted the whole episode introducing the whole cast, with some random fanservice, and horrible jokes.

Mitsudomoe Ep1
http://i.imagehost.org/0341/lolll.png
Sums up the series

-Very good animation(the CG used was horrible though)
-some the jokes were good to fucken hilarious, I laughed out loud at the chair to the face scene, and almost breaking the Teacher's balls with her hands and legs.
-weird character designs, the adults look like kids.
-decent voice cast involved
-the show has no shame, it will use every chance it got, for Loli and sexual jokes.
-The whole hamster (named Nipple) scene made me go WTF.
-Meh OP/ED

Well if you can handle all the Loli+Sexual+Moe jokes, you should be able to enjoy this show. I can't express how funny it is. if you have a huge dislike to this type of show, just avoid. nothing in here will change your mind.

Looks like Ryuumaru is subbing the BD release of Ichiban if anyone wanted it in HD. They also released the first of the special episodes which is very ecchi (obviously) but may be entertaining for some.

[avelle]

Just got a chance to watch the first episode of Ookami that Ker linked. It wasn't bad. I really liked Railgun a lot so I'll give this a chance. It doesn't seem like a harem anime at all, not sure why someone got that impression. The male character is god damn annoying though. It was funny in some spots but I definitely laughed at the kitten boxing gloves and the impressions they left after she punched the thugs. I'll give it a few more episodes and see how it goes.

I'd like to see that first episode of the Legend of Legendary Heroes as soon as it's subbed. The title seems pretty silly but then again so are a lot of anime titles. The art looks kinda nice from the screenshots Ker linked though so ya.

Seitokai Yakuindomo Ep 1


-Very good animation
-Solid Voice cast(get your ear plugs ready cause Kuroko's voice in it)
-The humor was lame to pretty good.
-The show has sexual humor, from what lead to believe from the previews(which was almost non?).
-To be fair it has normal slice of life and visuals jokes(very good balance, and more than sexual ones).
-Why was their an army of dildos and penis jokes in the opening again?
-Catchy opening/ Ending themes.


What a weird episode, completely unexpected. I had the idea it'll be a sweet, innocent slice of life show(it has those elements) and not be filled with sexual jokes. Overall not bad, I'll give it two more episode and see if it's a pass or watch for me.

Gundam 00 movie behind the scenes was live streamed recently. The video is slightly boring but it shows things for the movie in september.

Part 1 (11 mins): http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7984089
Part 2 (25 mins): http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7984273
Part 3 (34 mins): http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7984631

Part 1

Pretty uninteresting, just producer Ikeya and some staff, showing how messy their work benches are and posters on the wall.

Part 2

We can see Qan[T] & Zabanya model kits here, along with Harute & Brave prototype. Zabanya looks really sturdy, while Qan[T] is on a stand. Ikeya P shows us some magazines, posters and stacks of papers. I'm getting bored of seeing his face. Mizushima trolls by passing in front of the camera a few times. We follow Mizushima to his desk. Boring stuff again. Oh, there's a mongoose plush from Nodame! Timesheet. Press machine. Paper for drawing key animation. God, this is fucking boring. wtf, they have a pedobear in the studio. Animator's desk, storyboard hanging.

Part 3
Animator's desk again. WILD BEAR & KAWAII CUB. Movie flyer. Animator wearing a shirt that says "Depression won't get you _____"; she's drawing 00 Qan[T] (/m/'s girlfriend material?). Holy fuck the animator turned around and it's a guy. Gundam 00: even the animators are traps! Fuck you man you have really girly fingers, wear hair clips and a pink wristwatch! I'm distracted by the Russian bear dolls again now. Paper cutting machine and snack corner. There's a price on the food, but you just put in some coins if you take, no locks or cashiers.

We go into a room with design references on the wall. Ooh, take a look at those backgrounds. A character seems to have zettai ryouiki.... Nena 2? There is a blue Haro as well! Close up on Gundams, Haros, grunts. Super close up on Ikeya's nose. There's a sketch on Lasse's face wearing a helmet. Big TV with 00Q head from all angles. Meeting table. Boring stuff. Okay, we're out of that room. Why does this cameraperson keep on shooting the ceiling? Geez.

Back to Mizushima's office (separated from the rest of the studio by drapes), and he's actually watching the live streaming of this very show! You can see him on the small screen in his laptop, with only a few seconds delay. So I herd you like Gundam staffs, so we'll--you know the rest. Mizushima recommends a scary book or movie or something, then goes back to work. For a few seconds before he chats with the TV host. Close up on his laptop shows his twitter page. That slacker. Then he shows off his SLR camera, occasionally glancing at himself in the streaming screen. He talks for really long so I skipped ahead.

Mizushima introduces a young staff with unruly hair and glasses, commenting about "our something" "Professor Eifman" "Gundam fan" "Gintama" and "traitor". I don't know who the guy is. The TV hosts call him a handsome young man ("ikemen"). Then someone mentions Kouga Yun-sensei. Talk talk talk. Finally they say thanks and goodbye to Mizushima, but not after taking photo together. Mizushima's face is so smug, LOL. Oh wait, they start talking again. Now here's the real thanks and goodbye.

[Maguspk]

Watched the first episode of Mitsudomoe, dropped it, holy shit that was horrible, I gave it like 10 minutes too. Nothing was going on. OMG let's play some retarded as musical chairs game for half the episode, weee. Fuck. That.

Ookami was good, I love the palm top tiger even though she's in Ookami's character. Yes it's still Taiga to me, it has to be the same artist or something, the personality and appearance are exactly alike. I'm not complaining though I like it for some reason. The narrator sounds like the lesbian from Railgun and the little Red Riding Hood sounds so familiar but I can't figure out from where...

Finally, saw these in the random image thread and I know you guys will appreciate them. I laughed hard when I saw them...

[SamanosukeShiva]

kurenai OVA =o

[Eaglestrike]

Just got a chance to watch the first episode of Ookami that Ker linked. It wasn't bad. I really liked Railgun a lot so I'll give this a chance. It doesn't seem like a harem anime at all, not sure why someone got that impression.

For Kaylia, basically if there are 2x females as there are males, it's a harem show, lol.

[Elcura]

Ookami had a slow first episode, but it had some good animation and some nice moments. I find the interaction with the narrator to be mostly a miss, the jokes and 4th wall breaking aren't funny at all, especially when they repeat the same flatchest joke 3 times (I see a lot more of those coming). I mostly find it annoying trying to listen to the characters talk to each other when the narrator is saying the most obvious things imaginable.

"I CAN'T READ WHILE I'M SEEING THINGS!" is how I felt sometimes watching Ookami. But what I like about JC staff is they don't really waste time on how the characters feel about each other, even if the relationship takes a while to develop, it's out there. That, and they didn't pick a fucking retarded annoying tsundere lead, which always helps a show 100% more.

Mitsudomoe I thought was better for the 2nd half, the nipples hamster thing was weird, strangely inspirational and pretty funny when taken out of context. The characters are... I dunno, mostly shallow, but I'll give it a few more episodes and if it still entertains me without getting pedophilic creepy (this is Japan, so no hope of that...) I'll keep watching.

Amagami was decent, typical shit, but props for getting those feelings out there, but maybe that's not always a good thing cause he blew his wad too early and now I have no idea where the fuck this show is going.

Also watch Black Lagoon OVA, holy shit that was awesome.

[Ker]

If anyone is disappointed with the Summer shows thus far, I say mark your calendar for these. they have the biggest promise and hype.

During the Q&A it was revealed that High School of the Dead will be 12 episodes long. A project based on the final story arc of Fate/stay night, called Heaven's Feel, was hinted at as a possibility after Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works.
