I for one am incredibly excited; the material I've seen thus far is really cool. Ikuhara will deliver.

Yeah someone could've actually posted link to the trailer


That UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ version of Ave Maria is fucking awful and without doubt its use is going to be as stupid as use of western cultural artefacts in Japanese fiction in general. Seiyuus sound like shit (no surprise since they're recycled from Penguindrum). Aesthetic is Eguhara going Kobato which... is not completely terrible.


Might be bearable.

We'll be fine.


Though I don't think they understand that bears just aren't that butch in the face of human tech. Maybe they got an upgrade from the meteorites somehow?

Nice. Although I misunderstood, and thought season two would be premiering in November! Ah well, I'll wait.

Someone already did.
But I have to agree that the voice actresses sound horrible, and I'm nowhere near as hopeful as I was.

Cool, I wonder why I never saw anyone use that before.

So Mamoru Hosoda's new film has been announced:

Image

Bakemono no Ko (Monster's child)


Oh great more furry parenting (well okay this seems to be more of fighter master-apprentice relationship...). I could translate the little we know about story setup but I'm sure ANN is swift on the case so whatever.

edit: Well that was fast.


plot of The Boy and The Beast wrote:In a Tokyo press conference, Hosoda talked about the new project: "The movie is a training story about a boy who was separated from his parents and becomes a disciple of a bakemono (supernatural creature). It's going to be a traditional yet novel story."

The story is set in the human realm (Tokyo's Shibuya ward) and the bakemono realm ("Shibutenmachi"). In these two worlds which must not intersect, there lives a lonely boy and a lonely bakemono. One day, the boy gets lost in the bakemono world, becomes the disciple of the bakemono Kumatetsu, and is renamed Kyūta.

Hosoda explained that he set the movie in Shibuya since he "thought that there are thrilling things hidden in this town of adventure." He added, "There are surprisingly few animated works set in Shibuya. Even though it's a famous place, it'll be novel as a movie setting."

The tagline on the movie's poster reads, "A new adventure flick." Hosoda's previous films depicted various relationships, such those between mother and child or relatives, and he commented that this movie's theme is, "Are they going to be father and son…?" He said that he is still thinking about how to cast the film, since "there's lots of ojisan (older guys)."


Oh lol some smartass moon speaker went

After story about wolf impregnating woman we get story about a bear impregnating a boy? (confused)


Seriously though, furry plz go and stay go.

I got really hyped when I heard this news. I ADORE Mamoru Osada, and I consider his films as good, if not superior, to Miyazaki and Ghibli.

I cannot wait.

If you're going to complain about the source you could at least provide us with the alternative that you think is best, don't keep it to yourself.

I thought it was gonna be like Calvin and Hobbes. The kid is Calvin and the giant samurai animal is his teddy bear, and the whole thing takes place in his mind.

Thankfully we'll have to wait a little longer for the end of Mushishi.

.........Did something cause this? seriously yuri is never taken seriously, like ever, did someone in the anime industry finally realize you can have yuri that isn't just focused on showing off cute girls?
I mean they went out of their way to bring Morishima Akiko (they brought her in for the character designs and general art, i can tell that much just by looking) in, so whoever is making this knows their yuri artists (personally i would have loved it if Takemiya jin had been asked instead as her style lends itself better to guns..........on like the one occasion she ever drew them)

seriously though i wasn't paying enough attention to this thread and only realized cuz dynasty scans.
hoping this doesn't become akuma no riddle levels of disappointment.

Rose, this is Ikuhara we're talking about. That man loves yuri like a gentleman loves a rose.

Have you looked at the character art? It's the epitome of cuteness, coupled with the horrible voices for the characters this looks like fail on every level. But I trust that Ikuhara can still make it work. I like the premise, music and style, so...

I really don't get how you could have been disappointed by Akuma no Riddle. Srsly, I'm looking at screenshots, premise and staff right now, and all of it just screams shitfest.

im questioning why a Yuri anime is coming out that looks decent, not because i don't want it, but because some of the really good yuri manga and concepts are totally ignored by the anime industry usually.

Morishima's artistic style aside (which i like but then again i have been reading Morishima's works for years) this looks like it is actually trying to have a PLOT, said plot so far is insane but as this is an anime i don't care much.
Even akuma no riddle eventually turned into an excuse to have more moe which is a shame because the first episode aside from pacing issues had a really great tone and atmosphere to it all.

Also i don't really find fault with the voice so far :P

View Original Postrobersora wrote:What is a dynasty scan?

site/forum dedicated to uploading yuri (also a few het manga as long as the plot interests the mods enough and like 1-2 yaoi) on a very good reader, think mangafox only much better.
somebody mentioned it in the comments of Morishima's latest one shot.

The staff i honestly didn't care much about, the premise was interesting to me because assassins school full of crazy lesbians?............you have my attention.
And the first episode was pretty damn strong so i thought that maybe the rest would be good.
booooooy was i wrong.
