THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
WOHA! Shigofumi was the anime i was looking the most forward too and it didn't dissapoint me one bit!

I didn't check the staff thoroughly so when i heard Matsuoka Yuki as Kanaka i was really hypped. This is really right down my alley as expected. ofcourse i'll continue watching.

Now will we have a continuation next time or a new story?

Wouldn't you know if you watched it?
Anyway, I'm downloading it right now. :D

Edit:
Just finished watching it and I'm quite impressed! It's very cool in terms of sound, video and cinematic techniques.

Woah, that was good. Poor Shouta ;_; Episode 2 is called 'Rocket' so it sounds like it would be a continuation, but the preview clip didn't really seem connected. Hmm. The end of this episode had me like -wait, what? The episode is over? Noooo~~! :D

I have the same question. Who's subbing this? or rather, who's the most trusty quality-wise and/or fastest?

The only one I heard of so far is Conclave-Mendoi. If they are doing anything like Gundam 00, than I will stick with their subs. Quality-wise I think they are great, but I don't think they are the fastest subbers if that's what you mean by fast.

Well, they were decent enough with "ef - a tale of memories" so let's see how fast they are this time. As for quality, I noticed no significant errors and loved the fact they add translation notes fairly often in a way that it doesn't obstruct anything if you don't want to read them.

holy cow

i'd heard there was a plot twist,i was sure i was going to be able to predict it,but no,it caught me completely offguard.

What's i liked most about the show was the surprising amount of comedy,that was a pleasant surprise.

Sub is out at last. I don't like the slow pace they are subbing it, but since it's a short series I guess it is allright. I'll post back when I see the episode per-se.

Finally there are subs. This anime seems very interesting. I first found out about it after the raw was released. It reminds me a lot of shinigami no ballad.

Well, I may just be a poor man, but I'm finding this to be more exciting then some of Shinkai's works. We'll have to see how this goes after a few episodes, though.

The only one I know has subbed Shigofumi so far is FTP-Anime. If anyone know others, they are free to tell as well.

hmm, I'm thinking, if Shouta sends his mail to the next lover of Ayase, will this produce a never ending chain mail? :3

It's quite true. This is the only real gem one of the few gems I've seen in an assorted sea of utter relative crap.

As for subbers, a lot of different groups have just released (Bakawolf/m.3.3.w., Kagami, and FTP-Anime just released a v2) and I watched the deliciously high rest ftp release. Font was good, translations seemed fine to me, and what really stood out is a couple of the notes they had. One of them, for example, explained that "Fuinkyoku" is the name of the department store in charge of delivering shigofumi, so this group has clearly done it's homework.

I disagree that this is the only good show of the winter season, however I do agree that it's one of the few very good ones.

Yea, I suppose you're right. I had to go back and change my response after looking over the list of winter anime (things like Spice and Wolf raise the bar, and True Tears has potential), but it really isn't an impressive season. This show definitely has the potential to be my favorite of the winter season.

Haha, those two were exactly the ones I was thinking of, too. Persona has a little potential as well but you're right. However, as long as those shows will be good I don't mind if the other shows aren't that great. :D

Wow, I almost jumped out of my seat here at the complete twist in the end. I can't wait to see how they will follow it up to tell the truth.

I was thinking she would have just started crying and he would have been like "omg, you did kill your father! why?" or something along those lines and then her pulling a knife out. I wasn't expecting her to just pull a knife out and stab him straight in heart without saying anything lol, well at least not until I saw her looking at the ground when he has his back towards her

This episode was sad :/ and what makes it even more sad is next episode is called rocket lol.
