| This will be interesting. Very, very interesting. |
| Awesome can't wait Just bought the first 3 volumes at barnes & noble too! |
 |
| this sounds pretty awful but if Buck-Tick gets the OP, I'll give it a shot. (aku no hana is a Buck Tick song. I know they don't get calls from studios unless a show involves vampires, but c'mon) |
| never expected it to be animated, i can't see it animated without being highly offensive see'ing as its messed up on many levels lol. |
| Hrm, sounds good. =3= |
| Watching for director... |

| Can't fucking wait after reading the reviews. Just really hope they make a faithful adaptation and leave it all the worst happenings in there for our viewing pleasure. kmfcm said: this sounds pretty awful It's kind of cute to see 1 single person in 4 pages saying it sounds awful. Sorry but the rest of humanity likes to watch or read about fucked up shit, it's just in our nature I guess. Go watch fluffykinsshoujo123 anime if ya don't like it!!! ^_^ |

| The sinopsis of the manga sounds like Onani Master Kurosawa. I wish they would animate that manga too ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| This is not on the level of Onani Master; Onani Master was a masterpiece about emotional anguish, changing yourself for the better, and atoning for your sins. This is about going crazy and doing whatever the hell you want because fuck the police. Its a 'Corruption of a pure romance novel' indeed. While a this approach towards developing the plot and its characters is plausible, its not my cup of tea. To each their own i guess. I'll admit, though; it DID keep me interested to see how things would end. I probably wouldn't have continued the second arc if people didn't return to being rational human beings. LayedBack: Its nice to know that one cannot express their own opinion without someone telling them to shut up and get the fuck out. His dislike for this series is the same as your dislike for fluffykisshoujo: It turns him off; If you're going to refute the reasons why you believe this genre is better than any other type, at least give some legitimate reasoning for it. Otherwise, you just come off as an ignorant kid that can't handle a little difference in opinion. |

Otherwise, you just come off as an ignorant kid that can't handle a little difference in opinion. I was merely expressing an observation I made, calm down. If anyone in here is acting like an ignorant kid right now, it would be you. I say this because you assumed three different things that are completely false and and then went on to put words in mouth in an attempt to target me. That's a rather annoying habit that quite frankly no one likes. You should really work on that. Now here is specifically what I'm referring to - 1. I never told him to shut the fuck up and get out. I was basically saying that I thought it was cute that he so matter of fact-ly stated that this anime sounds pretty awful whilst every other person in this thread at the time had a different opinion. If you interpreted my post as a belittlement of another persons' opinion then that would be your own damn problem because it's not what truly went down. To me all I see in my post is an observation coupled with an innocent joke. 2. I don't dislike 'fluffykisshoujo'. That's just another thing you assumed about me. But thank you again for making it so easy for me to point out the flaws in your post. I really hope you're listening and taking notes for your own good, kid. 3. I don't believe the genres associated with Aku no Hana are inherently better than other genres. Therefor I needn't explain why I believe that to be the case, because I don't even fuckin' think that to begin with. I'm starting to wonder if you might be projecting your own beliefs on to me for some sad reason. Perhaps you should stop trying to read too much in to subtext before you attempt to slander someone. Because uh, ya know what they say don't you? ASS-U-ME, Megablasta. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

I thought it sounded awful because it sounded like it'd be a stupid ecchi type thing. . . .but after so many people telling me how messed up it is, I've been reading the manga, and totally dig it. So, yes, I shall be watching. |

It is not exactly that complex'd i like the manga but if i were to put it in a sarcastic way: '' It is about teenagers being bored'' |

| Ohhh this manga. I recognized it from the description. |
| Not sure I'll be able to put up with watching this story animated. |
 |
| I think I'll watch this. Might read the manga first though if I have the time. |
 |
| This shizz going supah epic. Well i hope ;__; |
| Would have never expected this to get an adaptation. Will most definitely watch. |
 |
| Kill it With fire! I'll pretend this shit never existed much likely tsukihime. |
ビビコードバカァ！ |
| Those who once said they care little about character design and only care about the story should go and watch it. They should be able to go through it without any issue. |

Sheesh, can these idiots get any funnier to troll? |

Berzin said: I have no problem with realistic character designs; i actually would prefer it over seeing what are supposed to be japanese students with the oh so common green/pink/whatever hair and blue eyes. But this had no business being rotoscoped; it's an awful, tedious relic of a technique that doesn't belong in 2013 anime and since this wasn't an original avant garde anime and based off another's work who trusted the team for this the designs should have been faithful to the manga for both the fans and the mangaka. It was completely needless. For a brief example by the way, Satoshi Kon's works have realistic looking japanese people in them without the animation being a steaming pile of failure. I hope you know, that the mangaka likes this animation style. |
| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
PlumJuice said: I think that the mangaka tweeted that he had not seen the character designs before it aired, but please to watch it. And after it aired, he deleted his twitter. Could have the impression that the author was just getting harassed. But I'm getting the impression that the author was appalled and ashamed, not happy. Wow... That sounds bad. Deleted his twitter right after it aired? It doesn't sound well. I need to say, The anime doesn't look completly like anime from the photos I seen. It just looks... like... 25% anime and the other half. Idk. |
| It's hard to say it's even anime, more like deformed, retarded, aborted product of anime x live action failed romance. It takes live action's 30-40yo actors and turns them into some bizzare low-budget-no-skill thing resembling anime. |
PlumJuice said: Could have the impression that the author was just getting harassed. Harassment through Twitter is more likely, as in the case of Eri Kitamura (I think some Japanese are not known for taking criticism easily, because of their face-saving nature). I mean, it's terrible if you wake up one morning and discover that a bazillion tons of hate tweets and even death threats are dumped on you. |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| I like my fair of experimental anime, and this is not to say that I don't respect people opinion on the show, but what makes the show look so ugly to some people? Is it because the characters don't look exactly how they do in the manga? Is it because it's rotoscoped or the way it's rotoscoped? Is it because the character design don't have a moe-ish look or feel anime like? Or all the above? While I can't blame people for not liking the design because it is experimental and it suppose to push the boundaries a little, but I never would have thought that people would have so much strong feelings on the design. I personally think the rotoscope looks better than the MANGA!!!!!!!! While I haven't read that much of the manga, but I can say that artwork is not a strong point of manga. When I think of bad anime design I think ... Dead Leaves (Great Movie) Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer Fatal Fury:Motion Picture Kakugo no Susume Baki the Grappler Koi Kaze And etc. I think that the rotoscope in the show is not just a breath of fresh, but rotoscoping fits the mood of the show, it gives the show a realistic look, it give off realistic movement, the way dialogue sound and rotoscoping really make it feel like I'm looking a real Japanese setting unlike some anime, the background are hand down beautiful, and some scene looks incredible rotoscoped. The two things I sometimes don't like about the show is the main character and the pace of the story. I'm not bashing anybody, but really want to know why people don't like the show or the artwork so much? |
