Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Sounds good. Phantom, Madoka and Fate/Zero are 3 excellent titles, he's one of the "must watch" writers.

Anyone who knew who he was wasn't fooled, anyway. Fate/Zero and Saya no Uta were already prime examples of his works.

This. Never had any doubt about what kind of anime Madoka would be.

He doesn't have that great of a resume sadly. Apart from a few hit titles which were very good, he hasn't done much that's even notable. I will watch it regardless since I like his style of writing and subject matters he uses, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a flop.

I'm confused by this comment. You gave Fate a 10, Madoka a 10 and Phantom a 9 then claim he hasn't done much thats even notable? When (aside from scripting some Blassreiter) those 3 are the only titles he's even done! A 3/3 hitrate is alot better than someone with a massive body of work, most of which is mediocre...

Don't forget Saya no Uta, too. Never got an anime but its one of the more successful visual novels of the last decade.

I think this is cool~! So many (potentially) good things seem to be lined-up for 2012: new Evangelion movie, more Bakemonogatari-related material, new White Fox show, and now, this.

Excellent~

Not "some" but pretty much all of it. And Blassreiter is by far the best Urobuchi work in anime.

I need to edit my list because since he's popular now that automatically makes him terrible in my books. I liked Gen before he did Madoka, but now that he's famous I can no longer like him.

Clannad, LOGH, and NGE are also popular.

Get to editing, boy.

I will edit my tastes this afternoon while I listen to Mimicking Birds, a band you probably never heard of. All while using my Macbook Air and drinking a venti soy caramel machiatto.

It's a shame, I really liked those shows but I must move on because liking those shows is just as bad as liking a band that sold out to a major record company.

Oh, that's intriguing. I already know what anime I'm watching next, after finishing Kikokugai (shame it hasn't been animated... yet).

... Damn, I'm almost a fanboy, but the guy is great. Obviously looking forward to whatever Urobuchi Gen plans on doing!

I wonder if he'll make a light-hearted anime just to piss off those who expect it to be darker than anything he's done before. That would make him a top-tier troll.

Huh? So if many people liked it you can keep liking it, although it's something that you personally like?

Ah well, I won't complain to your way of thinking. Just can't think that it's not a weird idea =w=

Anyway, about Gen...I've read Saya no Uta and watched Madoka+ Fate/Zero (still the first part only, of course). Although his writing skill is amazing, he still has a big weakness in creating a very memorable character. That's why he+nasu in a tag team is a very good idea, since Nasu can cover his weakness with support of good casts. I hope Gen can keep creating more breakthrough and offering something new again :3

To bad it's not saya no uta. Oh well I'm a big fan, so I'm sure it will be good . Also, I remember him discussing ideas for an original show a while ago, when he was talking about if he would write more for madoka. Anyone remember what he said?
