Aya style
I hadn’t noticed till now but Bakemonogatari’s anime character design is by Poyoyon rock.
Also I realised Sound Horizon’s Moira made its debut at #1 on Oricon album daily rankings for 9/2.
Next Ametalk special will be a 3 hour special on Slam Dunk
Good show
How Hirano wore her swimsuit, and how it should have been worn
I thought it was minor news but apparently it’s big important news!
Oshii’s Sky Crawlers was screened at the 65th Venice International Film Festival and he received a warm applause from the audience. He apparently also commented that Miyazaki’s Gake no ue no Ponyo was just some old man’s fantasy. Reaction to Ponyo at Venice Film Festival.
Code Geass R2’s online streaming was a big success
Approximately 420,000 views for the first episode on biglobe and subsequent episodes maintained 230,000 to 250,000 views each. Bandai visual says it’s amazing because prior to this, their popular anime only got between 40,000 to 50,000 views per episode.

LOL@Hirano’s Swimsuit. HILARIOUS!
September 4th, 2008 at 9:54 am
She wore it wrongly? For real? WTH…..
September 4th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Wow, it’s not like Oshii is bitter or anything… (Didn’t he say he’d stop directing if Sky Crawlers flopped or something?)
September 4th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Sound Horizon is fucking awesome.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I do wish that Bandai Visual would just shut the hell up.
Or, to put it bluntly: I’d ride on that bandwagon and enjoy their shows if they didn’t hate the “average guy” so much.
“Young men with no hesitation,” “happy couple side characters,” ‘lesbians who rely on other women as oppose to tables.” “Getting your revenge along with the consequences…”
What happened to actual storytelling and consistency?
September 4th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I´m curious, is there any other person in the animation industry with the guts to say anything but the highest praise about Miyazaki?
September 4th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
>How Hirano wore her swimsuit, and how it should have been worn
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? SHES STILL UGLY IN EITHER PIC.
>#1 on Oricon
SH FAILED WHEN THEY WENT MAJOR. MORE FAIL DETECTED. NOT THAT ILL EVER HEAR IT ANYWAY. NO ARAMARY = AN EVEN LARGER HELPING OF FAILSOUP. IT WAS ARAMARY THAT GOT ME INTO SH. HAD IT BEEN AN ELITE VOCALIST LIKE 片霧烈火 OR モモーイ OR…………. SHIT, EVEN あまね FROM COOL&CREATE. I DONT THINK I WOULD HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH SH. ARAMARY COULD HAVE BEEN PAIRED WITH ANY OTHER FAILCOMPOSER AND CALLED THEMSELVES SH, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED. BECAUSE REVO, IS FAIL. THANKS FOR SELLING OUT AND GOING MAJOR REVO. BUT I GUESS JAPLANDIANS HAVE NO CONCEPT OF SELLING OUT, BECAUSE THEY FUCKING DO THAT SHIT ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
>online streaming was a big success
DO YOU GUYS SEE THE FAILBOAT COMING? ALL ABOARD, MOTHERFUCKERS.

AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, HAYAO MIYAZAKI IS A COCKSUCKER AND A PEDOPHILE.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
LOL AYA.
Honestly, it makes little difference. Hmm… maybe it should be a new trend: wear swimsuits the wrong way.
Say anything other than praise for Miyazaki ?
Dude’s son is still an amateur. Also, while he is against lolicon culture, he is a bit outdated. But that’s not a bad fault ( we all get that way)
>FAILBOAT
MY ASS
I support online streaming. Beats torrenting, as long as they keep it free.

>Tell you what… go google Molot Entertainment’s ‘First Squad’. I can’t wait fr it, and I’m going to watch it in its Native Russian. It looks set to be a really good GONZO rip-off… if the Russians pull it off.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Already there on “1st Squad.”
My hope is that FUNimation or Media Blasters will pimp it out with an English dub. And I don’t mind people ripping off GONZO. Just as long as they’re ripping GONZO’s good parts off. And atleast they’re not ripping off $unrise.
The Miyazaki-tachi? Hayao being against lolicon? And his son still being an amateur? Last I checked, Hayao handed these people the spotlight and they’ve been acting like insta-fame rap artists; lack of talent ad nauseum.
Give me the RPG so I can sink this failboat. I’ll support the industry when I think your show kicks arse and it speaks in English. And not “before.” :)

BY THEM SHIFTING TO ONLINE DISTRO ONLY, THEY ARE FURTHER LIMITING YOUR CHOICES. YOU THINK WITH YOUR (SMALL) WALLET MORE THAN YOU DO WITH YOUR BRAIN.
SIDE NOTE: TORRENTS? WHO THE FUCK USES TORRENTS? THE CHANCES OF GETTING CAUGHT ARE FAIRLY FUCKING HIGH. ASK ME ABOUT IT. IVE GOTTEN DMCA’D BY SOME UNKNOWN FAGGOT COMPANY AND MY ISP TOLD ME TO CEASE DOWNLOADING SHIT OR ELSE THEY WILL CUT ME OFF. WHAT DID I DO? BASICALLY TOLD THEM TO FUCK OFF AND CONTINUED TO PROCEED WITH BUSINESS AS USUAL USING LESS COMMON ROUTES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT ATTENTION. IF I DO GET CUT OFF, I WILL SIMPLY SWITCH ISPS. SIMPLE. ALSO, YOU COULD GO OFF ABOUT USING PROXIES, ETC. WHY GO THROUGH ALL THE TROUBLE? JUST USE PD AND STFU. OH NOES, THEY DONT HAVE SUBTITLED ANIME FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE FAILDICAPPED PEOPLE. WHAT WILL YOU DO?
BACK ON TRACK. YOU ARE ACTUALLY FOR ONLINE STREAMING? ACTUALLY, TV BROADCASTS PROBABLY MEAN JACK SHIT TO YOU, MAINLY BECAUSE YOU DONT LIVE IN JAPAN. IM NOT GOING TO GO ON ABOUT QUALITY, NOT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SOME OFFICIAL SHIT QUALITY ANIME BEING STREAMED (PSYCHIC ACADEMY). BUT IT COMES DOWN TO CHOICE. AND THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING TRACKED. ID LIKE TO KEEP MY 二次元 INTERESTS A TOTAL FUCKING SECRET OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE. SO WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT YOU WOULD GIVE UP TV BROADCAST. WOULD YOU GIVE UP DVD DISTRIBUTION FOR ONLINE AVAILABILITY? A DVD CAN BE WATCHED PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE. AS WITH ONLINE STREAMING, YOUD BE TETHERED TO YOUR COMPUTER (DONT GIVE ME SHIT ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR PC TO A TV, I HAVE MINE CONNECTED TO A RATHER LARGE WALL-MOUNTED LCD MYSELF.). BY THE SHIT BEING ONLINE, _YOU_ WOULD NEED TO BE ONLINE. NOT EVERYONE HAS TEH INTERNETS YET. AND NOT EVERYONES INTERNETS ARE 24/7/365. I KNOW MINE SURE ISNT. MOTHERFUCKING OUTAGES OCCUR FREQUENTLY WHERE I LIVE. SO HERES THE BREAKDOWN: AS LONG AS ITS FREE, AND NOT A FUCKING DIME COMES OUT OF YOUR WALLET, YOU WILL CONSUME IT. YOU BASICALLY CONFESSED TO THE INTERNETS THAT YOU ARE A FREELOADING, CHEAPSKATE FUCKFACE FAILFAG WEEABOO. PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO TAKE TAKE TAKE AND EXPECT TO KEEP TAKING ARE HELPING THIS PLANET FUCK OFF. SO BASICALLY, YOUR CHOICE IS TO REMAIN A FAGGOT LEECH. YOU COULD CARE LESS HOW IT COMES TO YOU, AS LONG AS YOU GET IT FOR FREE. WHAT A PATHETIC FUCKFACE FAGGOT. YOU PROBABLY STILL LIVE AT HOME AND LET YOUR MOTHER COOK AND CLEAN ALL YOUR SHIT. AND YOU DONT EVEN THANK HER FOR IT, BECAUSE YOU EXPECT IT TO BE DONE AS IF NATURE INTENDED. SAME FOR YOUR ANIME. THATS COOL, ITS YOUR CHOICE. STAY A FAGGOT. I COULD GIVE A FUCK LESS.

>>I hadn’t noticed till now but Bakemonogatari’s anime character design is by Poyoyon rock.
Bet you also didn’t noticed that Studio Mebius is releasing a new game.
September 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Blah Blah blah that’s all this little capslocked fellow is good for. All talk, all accusation, no certainty.
CAPSLOCK TL;DR
I do hope you don’t give a fuck. And youre honestly forgetting a whole lot of people who can’t afford to buy DVD, or prefer to take a look at the damn show first. What’s worse that a cheapskate fuckface is an elitist, rich fuckface faggot. But I’m not one to judge or accuse people I don’t know.
And internet need not necessarily be owned at home. But enough.

Do better without capslock>
Seconded.
Admittedly, I may be out of the loop on Hayao.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
NOYFB NEEDS TO STOP GIVING US CAPSLOCK LOVERS A BAD REP. I MEAN, I’M FINE WITH POSTING EVERYTHING I CAPSLOCK, BUT WHY GO USING VULGARITIES AND CUSS WORDS ALL ROUND ? AND ACCUSING SOMEONE OF BEING SOMETHING WHEN HE DOES NOT KNOW THE INDIVIDUAL ?
ADMITTEDLY, I’M A NEWBIE TO THE BLOG, AND THIS IS MY POST (YES, I DO HAVE TO LURK MORE), BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE DRIVEN AWAY BY PEOPLE LIKE NOYFB
WHY GIVE UP DVD DISTRIBUTION JUST BECAUSE OF ONLINE AVAILABILITY ? NOW THAT IS JUST DUMB. REALLY DUMB. OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WANT A HARD COPY OF THE ORIGINAL ANIME. AND AS FOR INTERNET, I BELIEVE WI-FI IS AVAILABLE TO ALL THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD A COMPUTER, AND PERHAPS, IN A NEAR DISTANT FUTURE, SMALL PCS AND NOTEBOOKS WITH ENOUGH SPACE WOULD BE MORE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC
BY THE WAY, DID YOU JUST CONFESS THAT YOU ACTUALLY USE TORRENTS ? YOU SEEM TO ASK WHO USES IT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE DOWNLAODED YOURSELF. FANTASTIC.
OBVIOUSLY, NOYFB IS WHOLE LOT MORE LINEAR IN HIS VIEWPOINT THAN OTHERS.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
ALL POSTS ABOVE THIS ONE WERE MADE BY AIDS INFESTED RETARDED NEGROIDS FROM SATURN THEREFORE THEY SHOULD BE IGNORED. ESPECIALLY CAPSLOCK POSITIVE.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
So, I take it that you are racist against negroids then ? And, racist against people from Saturn as well ?
Also, that includes NOYFB, since it was above your post as well, mr. ‘cruise control’.

USED. AS IN NO LONGER. PD FTW.
>AND AS FOR INTERNET, I BELIEVE(ry
IN A NEAR DISTANT FUTURE, THE EARTH WILL BE RULED BY A SINGLE GOVERNMENT, ETC
September 4th, 2008 at 11:06 pm

NO SHIT SHERLOCK, HOW THE FUCK YOU DISCOVERED THAT? FUCKING SPACE SCIENCE OF THE GODDAMN NASA OR SOMETHING?
September 4th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
>YOU SEEM TO ASK WHO USES IT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE DOWNLAODED YOURSELF. FANTASTIC.
I HAVE NEVER DOWNLAODED A GOT DAMN THING. THATS THE TRUTH.
AS FOR DOWNLOADING, IM AGAINST THE ONLINE STREAMING/DISTIBUTION MODEL. IF THE INDUSTRY MOVES IN THAT DIRECTION, MEDIA CHOICES MAY BECOME LIMITED. NO MORE TV RIPS, MUST REGISTER TO DL, SIGN TESTICLES AWAY, ETC
September 4th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
>FUCKING SPACE SCIENCE OF THE GODDAMN NASA
NON-ENGLISH MOTHER TONGUE DETECTED
September 4th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
And so it is official.
NOYFB likes to drive people away from Zepy.
Also, he enjoys talking to himself.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Can someone elaborate more on the Slam Dunk? The link shows all moonspeak…
September 5th, 2008 at 2:54 am
>Can someone elaborate more on the Slam Dunk? The link shows all moonspeak…
Ametalk is a variety show hosted by Ameagarikesshitai, during the special they invite entertainers that are fans of Slam Dunk to talk about the subject. It’s not an anime related variety show, but they sometimes feature popular anime. They’ve previously already featured stuff like Jojo, Evangelion, and Dragonball.
September 5th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Just curious, but has Ametalk ever mentioned Haruhi ?
September 5th, 2008 at 3:48 am
Naw, Ametalk is a mainstream TV show with high TV viewership, when they featured anime subjects on the show they’ve only picked the popular mainstream stuff.
September 5th, 2008 at 5:21 am
> NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS
> ARAMARY COULD HAVE BEEN PAIRED WITH ANY OTHER FAILCOMPOSER AND CALLED THEMSELVES SH, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED. BECAUSE REVO, IS FAIL.
Go listen to that piece of fail that is Rain Note then.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Whew!
Ametalk not featuring Haruhi because it’s “not popular enough?” Wow! For a moment there…
More and more I’m thinking that the picture of Muslims holding a sign with an image of Haruhi on it was a fluke and some Photoshop edit.
September 5th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Thanks for that Zepy!
@ Tyrenol:
The reason why Haruhi hasn’t been up on Ametalk yet is probably because the Haruhi fandom is still rather ‘infant’ (probably a bad word choice, but i couldn’t think of anything else lol =P). Haruhi’s only been around for approx. 2 years whereas the other shows mentioned (DB, SD, Jojo and NGE) have all got decades over Haruhi.
September 6th, 2008 at 8:53 am
>Anonymous
Well… At this day and age… How about “infancy?” Or maybe, “Still sucking on the bottled sheeple milk of animu fandom.” :P
September 6th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Tyrenol>
I knew you were going to say something like that…. but meh, Anon’s right > Haruhis is still relatively young. Runaway success as it is, it will need to stand the test of time. Eva (as much as I dislike it), lasted for ten years, and Slam Dunk and DBZ… you get the picture.
So we’llw ait for ten years. Hopefully, Haruhi will get a spot on Ametalk by then.
