I do not wish to spoil the original post completely, but it is very short (very hard-hitting, too). So, basically:
Nastier takes on familiar genres are all well and good. I liked Uta Kata, for example. But claiming that the nastier take is somehow more real, or naturally better, [..]

read moreI agree with Kuro: nobody cares about FUNimation and their cancelled "simulcast". Not giving ready scripts to cracksubbers is actually a positive. Ani-nouto, for instance, is not racing to post after every episode airs. That is Aroduc's job and he's a BRW (Badass Raw Watcher) anyway. So we don't care …

read moreI think 2DT's post about Taishou in anime is far too brief for the topic. My favourite reference is old SDB's post that predates Chizumatic itself. His take-off point was the Sakura Taizen movie, which as we all know stacked rather poorly against the rest of the franchize. Steven later …
read moreSurprisingly, the improvement occured in an episode that turns upon a heavy retcon in a large degree. Usually such tricks are employed by desperate creators, but it worked here.

read moreWoke up today to find Twitter aflutter with rumors of an IM@S anime. Apparently, it was announced at a live event. So, not a fake. But before I die from happiness, I have to remember that IM@S-based anime had a mixed record at Ani-nouto to date: Xenoglossia was …
