Beat Shot was one out of 2 OVA releases by Gainax based on manga by Satoshi Ikezawa (the other was Circuit no Okami II). The original work was serialized in Weekly Playboy and not 18+ but the anime can probably be considered softcore pornography since the explicit sex scenes was its selling ...

and yeah with her hair like that the main girl reminds me of Doremi (unlike in the scan posted in other thread) It's those hairbuns. I wasted some time doing a nonsensical comparison chart. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3461/sdfgjj.jpg :lol: Looks like after PaSwG and PMMM, I think this could be...

It looks cute. A bit like Doremi or Heartcatch almost. Ikuhara did say it's going to be "like a Saturday morning cartoon with poison in it" or something like that.

Violence Jack: Harem Bomber
Violence Jack: Evil Town
Violence Jack: Hell's Wind

Gross. Especially Evil Town.

Cleansing myself by watching Miyazaki Lupin now.

It's nothing special but some people might find it interesting.

The Notenki Memoirs describes the planning of this project Olympia - the phantom project It was around this time that Okada suggested we pull out of anime altogether. None of our animated titles were turning a profit - weren't even accepting any new projects. Our in-house animators were kept on,...

Just found something pretty cool in one of the 2.0 storyboard books (which are part of the CRC, I guess). Do these books give a a complete breakdown of who storyboarded the different parts of the film? Or at least a general idea? 2.0 had a very large number of storyboard artists (10 or ...

Madoka is under Definition 2 - esp. in opening animation I more or less agree with your definition but the border between a general cute girl look and a loli look gets blurry at some point. Especially designs like this that are sort of abstract. We could probably get deeper into the loli-taxonomy t...

These chests are not flat enough to be considered loli

I thought the heavy quoting was to show how communication is affected by their cyberbrain implants. It's like internet arguments where people just copy-paste their google results at each other. GitS SAC did the same thing in the final episode when Aramaki was unable to follow a conversation betw...

Nobody commented on my writings about the apparent inconsistency of Madoka's power in different timelines I thought it was the best explanation so far. But if Madoka is the only one who becomes more powerful is that because the other witches all die before time is reset? In that case Madoka should ...

Rumor has it that there were supposed to be more changes to the OP to make it the ED of Ep.10.... :love: Well she's the main character after all... - in the timeline when Homura fought all the witches, one witch is headless and standing in a birdcage. When she was killed, the explosion seemed to co...

I like the observation that she used to be Hanekawa before she became Senjougahara.

I hope there's a happy end for her so she can go back to wearing those braids and glasses.

thanks symbv! I mean, when you comment that performances and camera angles has a greater importance to animation than the actual essence itself (instead of working on all three to make a form) I also find your post confusing. What is the "essence itself"? I'm sorry if I sound c...

The staff list for both five and six is actually from episode nine.

I left the first Pixar blogger a comment about the episode 4 confusion, and he was nice enough to respond: So yeah, flawed translation. I knew Imaishi would never simply look down on Kobayashi's animation like that. The second explanation is similar to what he said in the animestyle interview F...

Well I'm definitely not the proper toku expert. Anything relevant aside from the similar concepts between both shows I wouldn't know about. But if it's OK with the moderators I could link to a fansub version of a Jissoji directed Ultraseven episode so everyone can see the stylistic simil...

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance > Lady Vengeance > Old Boy for me. I disliked all these films initially but (re-)watched them all recently and that is how I would rank them. I think it might be the reverse order from the norm. Mr looks great and that is the main reason I thought it was really goo...

It's strange that Ultraman hasn't been mentioned yet unless it has a separate thread which I have missed. The Eva's are basically Ultraman variations. Sadamoto said as much in a recent live talk. The time limiter is definitely from there. Anno also said in an interview that his fascinati...
