I can barely believe it
Why is everybody so obsessed with Mai Hime, is it really THAT good?
I'm not seeing much hype for this event unlike Comiket.
I thought anons liked these kind of events?
>>139028127
That's because porn is universal.
>>139028127
It's Thursday.
>>139028106
Actually, nobody is obsessed with Mai Hime, which is why it isn't getting another season.
>>139028106
It's better than Zegapain and needs a S2. We're getting the movie in like 17,000 or so years.
>>139028153
Through dick, unity
>>139027789
is there going to be a live stream or something?
What is there to do at anime japan anyway?
>>139028185
>Actually, nobody is obsessed
Love Live is essentially latest Mai Hime and japan is obsessed with it
>>139028231
That's the thing, Love Live has taken the Mai Hime audience's hearts, so there's nobody else to care about Mai Hime.
>>139028231
>Love Live is essentially latest Mai Hime
Go be stupid somewhere else
>>139028296

>>139027789

>>139028231
>Love Live is essentially latest Mai Hime
How?
>>139028321
By amount of crazy and not giving a shit we had it in 2015 and it was called Cross Ange
>>139028321
Sorry. 10 year later sequels are exclusive to mechas. Try 15 years later
>it's a Mai Hime stan thread
>>139027789
New Zegapain game on Xbone?
>>139028231
Are you basing that just on the fact that the two had a primarily female cast, because I honestly think symphogear is more a of spiritual successor to Mai Hime than Love Live

Can't wait to see Koe no Katach ruined by Kyoani sameface "style".
>>139028610
Boo fucking hoo
Cant wait for glorious KyoAni animation and production values, as opposed to say.. A-1 shit movies.
>>139028015
Normally I'd think that was cool, but I remember how the Madhouse Iron Man turned out.
>>139028610
As opposed to Koe no Katachi's sameface?

During 2004-2009 run, Mai-franchise sold well in merchandising.
It did well overall
>>139029250
No FMP in lists.
>>139029238

Is there gonna be anything on the new berserk anime? Its gonna air in a few months and still nothing.

Didn't find a way after all.

Are you autistic?

no, the director of new anime Berserk. He is known for teekyu

Haha well I feel bad.
Has this guy done anything worthwhile or is he shit?
Waiting for the PVs for Yuri!!! on Ice and Flip Flappers like all the other patricians.
Here's to hoping for a Horizon S3 announced for 2017 and/or an Owari no Chronicle/Hexennacht movie premiering in early 2018.

No it wasn't.
>>139031012
Well, if we're already fantasizing I guess we might as well go the whole mile and wish for seven OnC movies.

I'm going on Sunday, but I really just want to go to see certain PV announcements, and they aren't specified what day they'll be showing on Open Stage.
Any seasoned visitors have tips?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=_E0wbdZZKRc
>>139031557
Looks great.
I can't see anything decent sequels being announced but who knows.
>>139031406
If you wanted to see the open stage listing, check here:
https://www.anime-japan.jp/smt/stage/open_stage/#linkCategory21
I didn't expect anyone else from here to actually be going. I wonder if it would be possible to get a meet up going for animejapan, maybe something similar to the comiket meet ups.

Why is SHAFT the only studio that can properly adapt character designs from the source? I'm really excited for this.
>>139031924

FORGIVE ME LORD SHAFT FOR DOUBTING YOU
>>139032022
Yeah but the voice actors never match what I had in my head.
COMON ROKUJOUMA S2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NljBw9RtOx4
>>139031924
It seems Shinbo is ACTUALLY directing for once instead relegating it to his kouhai.
Should be interesting to look at.
>>139032141
Looks like shit
>>139032141
>QUALITY in the PV
Really WIT?
>>139030531
>implying anyone cares about FMP if its not by KyoAni
Not even Gotoh does.
>>139032103
>the voice was better in the manga
mob's PV is already out, when is the rest coming?
>>139031813
Looks just as boring as manga. Aria fags will pick up and drop.
Yuri fags will pick up and rage at end.
>>139032298
it's night-time in japan now, i think animejapan strats in something like 10 hours
>>139031924
Shaft ruining another great source material
>>139032354
Wait, so why is the MP one so early out?
>>139032141
What would happen if we combine SnK, with Princess Mononoke, with Samurais, with (list goes one)shit
>>139032377
they posted it online before showing it tomorrow
>>139032200
why? I think it looks pretty cool
When does the BandaiVisual and Sunrise panel start tomorrow or this weekend
>>139031656
Like I said, out of nowhere surprise announcements are a huge thing for events like this.
You never know what to expect man
>>139032683
>out of nowhere surprise announcements are a huge thing for events like this.
This never fucking happens in AnimeJapan. All the panels of events are already known.
>>139031813
Looks nice.
Aria's anime adaptation was pretty mediocre but Tamayura is GOAT. Looking forward to it.
>>139030656
He's never done a single thing worthwhile, he's completely shit. The fact that he's basically only known for Teekyuu should've told you that.
>>139032728
I know, but you gotta pull some strings to make your event hyped.
>>139032891
Teekyuu isn't worthwhile?

And nothing of the value was lost. Gotoh abandoned FMP anyway, so we`ll isntead get his Mapple Summoner by KyoAni.

P L E A S E
>>139033226
Weird, I thought everyone liked Teekyuu. What kind of comedies do you like, anon?
A Sakamoto PV is likely. Hikaru Midorikawa is doing some kind of in-character interview on saturday.
>>139033016
What? That was only ever part of a rumor, no studio has been announced for FMP and we've had no actual news since that initial event.
>>139033226
It's not.
>>139033124
they really announced it still being alive last year
What are the chances of a 3rei or New Game PV?
>>139033226
Fuck you.
>>139033200
>Mapple Summoner by KyoAni
Yes please
>>139033297
I've heard that about a lot of things and they never see the light of day.
>>139033271
>Hikaru Midorikawa is doing some kind of in-character interview on saturday
Wish they streamed this.
>>139030490
Sunshine is going to be an abortion but the merchandise and popularity will salvage the franchise.
>>139033269
I'm admittedly not particularly partial to comedy anime, since I've got a very dry and dark sense of humor they rarely ever cater to. But I enjoy things like Milky Holmes, Hoozuki no Reitetsu, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Fireball and Level E.
>>139033290
>>139033343
It is. But hey, if you like terrible "look how random we are" series, then by all means.
>>139032280
>>139033200
It's still the love of his life, you Kyoashitter
>>139033530
>Sunshine is going to be an abortion
I woudnt judge prematurely.
Its like Mai Hime fags telling Otome will be an abortion.
>>139033410
Actually, no, I misinterpreted it. Sorry. His "coolest interview" is being published in the spring 2016 Maker Oudan Anime Guide.
However, there is still something going on at Anime Japan.
>>139033540
>Level E
I hope you liked the manga and not the horrid anime.
>>139033584
I enjoyed both for the most part. The manga is much better though.
>>139033573
And that "something" is the magazine being distributed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqBcpzDakVc&feature=youtu.be
>>139027015
Still holding on to hope for Majestic Prince S2 coming out of this.
>>139033803
God i hate this colouring. Worse than 2000th first attempts at digital colouring and recent filter overuse. Hope it does not become standard.
>>139033883
Is it the purple lighting?
>>139033803
Eh, I probably won't watch this. I wish more TV anime could into postprocessing.
>>139033921
It looks like all the changed was the outline color.
Here's hoping for Bahamut Genesis S2.
>>139032022
Aniplex money and not stubbornly using in-house character designers for everything.
>>139033569
Otome was good but not greater than Hime
Both shows took themselves seriously because of mecha CHILDs and Robes were the best thing coming out of it.
I just think Sunrise doesn't have the brainstorm ideas to make another Mai-series right now.
>>139034006
Saturation, purple hue, blur, bloom, white outline - NGLNish color pallete.
This season KyoAni is guilty of similar, though to lesser degree with PW - at least they found ok color balance so it just looks "colourful" and not a messs like this.
>>139033803
>I want to become a hero
getting pretty tired of this
>>139034014
That's airing next season though, anon. I'm sure you'll love it.
>>139034071
Otome is absolutely better than Hime, simply because unlike hime its well written and features proper world building, history and character development.
I understand Hime fags attachment - but it was essentially Love Hina x Battle Royale with mess of a story and unnecessory MC and retcon ending.
Otome on other hand is GUNDAM of little girls.
>>139034122
Oh, wait. I thought I made a good joke, but Manaria Friends hasn't been given an air date yet. I thought it got confirmed for next season. My mistake.
>>139033803
Will watch only because of Hidetsugu Ito.
>>139034142
I don't care about the Carnival arc. I was heavily interested on Girls being Girls kicking Orphan ass and facing adversaries. If Sunrise kept that plot goin then it would been interesting and the whole world building.
Mai-HiME and Mai Otome connection is nothing but a joke and laziness. Also Mai Tokiha is good MC far miles than Arika.
I just want to knoe the FMP studio and what is hoing on eith Yamato S2.
That daid, I don't think we'll hesr anything until that Fujimi event in October which is infuriating. Gatoh announced this way too early.
>>139031924
Those are some potato faces.
>>139035062
>I just want to knoe the FMP studio
"not kyoani" is all you have to know
>>139033200
>Gotoh abandoned FMP
>The man who fought to make his beloved franchise animated after all these years
>abandoned
Do you mean Tanigawa? Because he did abandon Haruhi.
>>139033530
>Sunshine is going to be an abortion
No different from the original then?
>>139035219
>>The man who fought to make his beloved franchise animated after all these years
Yeah, by posting on twitter "this year surprise for sure!" while writing non FMP novels and outsourcing FMP to other authors
>>139035062
I think the best case scenario is either Xebec or Bones.
>>139027789
What? Why Zegapain? What?
>>139035260
I just think the fans wanted more out of the original instead having a new cast to begin with, thats my two cents.
>>139035390
Remember this? It wasn't a coincidence then.
Also it's having its 10th anniversary this year.
>>139032186
yeah right, I'll believe it when I see it
>>139027015
wish the NicoNico streams were not region locked, do we know if there will be any restreams?
>>139035469
And this.
>>139035469
but WHY
>>139027927
Agreed.
I'd love more Mai-Hime
>>139035602
it had a ~2000 per volume sales average, I thought it was a flop
>>139035602
I share your worries, I don't want to see the first season be sullied by a shitty continuation.
But if they do actually manage to make a good successor to one of my favourite mecha shows ever, I'll be overjoyed.
And besides, this looks like a Fumoffu-style spinoff to me, and I love the cast so I don't mind.
REWRITE BY KYOANI REVEALED YET?
>>139035745
>REWRITE BY KYOANI REVEALED YET?
Errr, 8-bit is doing that

>Kyoani
>>139035823

>>139035586

>>139035918
Well shit
>>139035629
I wouldn't say their hands are tied at this moment. It's been a long time since Mai-franchise been on limbo since the OVAs ended. Did the Blu-ray sales sold well or did it fail regardless?
>>139033226
I can understand your dislike for it. Teekyu is the logical conclusion to comedy and takes a high brow anon to truly appreciate it on an existential and metaphysical level.
>>139035835
Probably in June
>>139031557
Hyped.
S2?
>>139034217
>>139034122
Manaria Friends was basically canned, anon. Genesis S2 should still be on track, we should get a PV at this event.
>>139032141
I hope they don't do a shitty job this time.
>>139035984
Shitgatsu was shonen retard.
>>139036454
THIS IS THE YEAR
>>139036505
Oh, is there going to be a legit season 2 of Bahamut? That's neat. I feel like I knew this, but still cool.
>>139036597
Actually it's Seinen since its serialization is under Young Animal.
At least insult properly
>>139027015
No Kiznaiver PV?
>>139029713
Is studio 4C doing this again? I liked their non cgi scenes in the golden age movies, Im not sure why theyd use more.
>>139036663
>I'm talking out of my ass
Kill yourself.
Anyone know when we'll get a Koe no Katachi visual?
>>139027789
FUCK YEAH, but I hope it will be new story with new characters but in the same setting.
>>139036733
It'll come. But there are also screenings of the first episode at Sakuracon and Anime Boston this weekend.
>>139036789
No, it's a Millepensee/GEMBA co-production.
>>139036834
Soon
>>139037548
When is soon?
>>139037773
SoonBut not too soon.
>>139027015
I wants my Aniplex publicity and I wants it now. Trailers for Fate/GO stuff, trailers for Koutetsu, trailers for Rewrite a go!
>>139027789
No fucking way, I'll believe it's not fucking nothing when I see it, Sunrise doesn't do any work anymore.
>>139033869
>Still holding on to hope for Majestic Prince S2 coming out of this.
I went into this thread just to say this. I want to believe. I haven't completely given up hope yet. I don't want to.
>>139037916
Fuck off Anidrone
>>139033016
How is that even a bad thing? Bones does fine animation work. And things like Captain Earth and whatever looked gorgeous even though it was dull as balls.
>>139037961
It was announced last year there was Zegapain projects planned
It's real anon
>>139038200
>And things like Captain Earth and whatever looked gorgeous even though it was dull as balls.
Just like FMP
>>139038200
>Bones
>Good animation
You mean 1-2 good episodes and the rest is "sorry we ran out of budget and schedule"
>>139036834
For what purpose? Just take any Hibike visual and imagine it's KnK visual, you will be right.
>>139038310
You're confusing BONES with WIT
>>139038310
Kekkai Sensen looked pretty good the entire way through.
The last, hour long episode was also well animated (although we deserved that after having to wait for months)
>>139038310
I have never comprehended this meme, it's so blatantly false?
>>139038383
Not just Kekkai Sensen, most Bones productions look good most of the way through. Pay no attention to the retarded shitposter.
>>139038455
Only DTB didn't have any dip in quality.
>>139038310
But isn't that supposed to be WIT studio?
>>139038327
Hibike girls are too thick for Koe no Katachi.
>>139038308
>FMP
>Dull
You got any more of those contrarian opinions? I mean you've been generous enough to share so much already, don't stop.
>>139038343
>>139038383
>>139038395
Lets review latest bones show:
Akagami - 1 OAV animation tier episode, then meh small detail budgeted show (though no QUALITY)
Concrete Revolutio - turned to low quality shit fast
Noragami Aragoto - few good scenes, the rest is meh done. looks worse than S1
Blood Blockade Battlefront - great art, ok/meh animation, behind schedule
Chaika - QUALITY
Space Dandy - some great animated episode, some meh
Soul Eater Not! - Q U A L I T Y
Movies:
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos - award for worst anime movie of decade
>>139038590
Why do you bully Chaika?
>>139038525
Not true
>>139038537
No, see the difference:
Bones - show off animation in first episodes, select scenes. Rest subpart. Some shows are pure QUALITY.
JC Staff - spare all budget for select scenes/important episode to make them look fantastic, rest is full of QUALITY
Sunrise - QUALITY since they dont give a fuck, they dont have to prove anything to anyone as they are objectively best when they try
WIT - So much behind Schedule as SHAFT on early shows
Madhouse - 1st episode decent quality, then shit. 90% of shows look shit, except for select ones where they go all out and outshine rest.
Shaft - 5 seconds of animation per episode, 4 on single key scene.
>>139036842
Anime Boston is getting the first 2 episodes, actually.
>>139038564
Not that guy but FMP is pretty out of fashion, I think. Not really contrarian. I haven't seen it so I have no opinion on it.
>>139038818
what about the BD?
>>139038834
>Anime Boston is getting the first 2 episodes, actually.
Makes sense. I'm sure the first is going to be pretty boring exposition and stuff.
Why's AnimeBoston so big/important, though? Even the Love Live app game has a big spread about it
>>139038590
Akagami is absolutely not 'meh', it's consistently been a gorgeous show. The fact the first episode was packed to the brim with incredible animation and the rest dips to above average doesn't make it 'meh'.
>>139038590
>Concrete Revolutio - turned to low quality shit fast
Here's your (you)
>>139038590
>Akagami
>Bad at any point
There are certainly some scenes that look better than others, but the entire show is very well animated, and consistent

I don't know what makes it so important, but Crunchyroll Sponsorship is definitely helping this year. There's a whole setup where if you're a premium member you basically get your con badge upgraded. Crunchyroll is how AB got Kiznaiver (and the live Q&A with Yuki kaji and the other seiyuu)

>Concrete Revolutio - turned to low quality shit fast
I'd be lying if I said ConRevo didn't have QUALITY towards the end but saying it turned to low quality shit fast is just not true, it was highly consistent for the longest time and some of the best animated scenes weren't in the start.

These western premieres sure feel like it they're even premiering some moeshit called Anhapi or something. Murayama's gonna be there for the Garo dub premere but I don't think anyone has any idea what he's gonna say.

It's old and busted basically. Not the kinda thing that draws in or appeals to a new fanbase.
