Kokko said: you know i have never read poetry or whatever the fuck that's called my whole life but that sounds marvelousFrom ivory depths words rising shed their blackness, blossom and penetrate. Fallen the book; in the flame, in the smoke, in the momentary sparks—or now voyaging, the marble square pendant, minarets beneath and the Indian seas, while space rushes blue and stars glint—truth? content with closeness? Also just finished Denpa Onna in like one day. Well not really, since I watched one episode a day before. It was good. The legs are real, man. |

Welp, guess next on the SHAFT list is Sasami-san. Or maybe Arakawa first, iuno |
|
| Arakawa is better than Sasami and more consistent. The later kinda falls apart as it goes on despite having a great funny start. Arakawa is just hilarious all around. |

 |
| gud to know there're ppl here with gud taste and support da legs i am proud |
"Hi!" |
| Thinking about it, so far (not counting the atrociousness of Mekakushitty but I guess that counts too), SHAFT is the only studio where all OPs and EDs (so far) actually make sense within the context of the story. These shaft shows should have sequels, SHAFT should make make less Nisekoi and more everything else |
|
AzureDaora said: one thing I loved is the Opening Hell yes. Some people think it's bad for some reason. Actually you should watch the OVA, it has an important plot event. |
|
| I'll quote my thoughts on Denpa Onna if tsud or Azure is interested in reading. Do note that this when I finished it so I was really excited about and over-exaggerated like I always do. I don't really think my opinion changed much, though. |
| Your honor, I never wrote this post. |
AzureDaora said: Sasami-san is just plain weird, wasn't as enjoyable as I hoped it would be, it just lacked something to piece it all together, nice action here and there but meh, felt empty.Okashi said: Hell yeah bruh.

"Hi!" |
| Denpa is probably my favorite SHAFT show too, not the best, but it's up there in the favorites ranking. |
|
| reminder that Ef - a Tale of Memories is the best Shaft anime but no one watched it |
 |
| hmm my SHAFT watching list is then probs going to be Sasami > Arakawa > SZS > Ef > NieA and then when I feel connected to the japanese culturex100 Pani Poni Dash Also Madoka Rebellion is still the best visual and art direction wise, but then again it's a movie so lmao cheating Yeah, the protag somehow reminds me of something like an Araragi x Watashi(jintai) for some reason. He's good enough. |

Kokko said: You finally read Fraction? Gr8 ending. Yeah it was pretty funny. Not his best one (Dance! Kremlin Palace is by far the funniest and Kasutoro Shiki the most innovative I have read by him) but it's very well worth the time. |
|
| I haven't seen Rebellion but I'd agree with Azure that PMMM is SHAFT's best work in terms of art direction and visual design. Yea Monogatari has great visuals and especially the architecture/room porn but I feel like they're often disconnected with the scene or at least just loosely coupled. Whereas in Madoka I feel like the usage of color, lighting, frame composition and so forth are integral to creating the atmosphere for the show, which is Madoka's strongest point. |
| Madoka is my least favorite Shinbou work. The movie in particular, the art and background just annoyed me. |
|
| I'm so happy samurai jack is back, and its gonna be on adult swim so they wont have to tone everything down for the modern cartoon network so it will probably be in line with the original series. |

Feaor said: True. I love how in Madoka, each Witch's labyrinth has a different atmosphere and "feel" to it. It definitely shows that each witch has a story.I haven't seen Rebellion but I'd agree with Azure that PMMM is SHAFT's best work in terms of art direction and visual design.

I loved the cuts and the lighting of Madoka. If you think that the series looks good, just get hype for the mobie |

cupc said: tsudecimo said: Madoka is my least favorite Shinbou work. The movie in particular, the art and background just annoyed me. Why did they annoy you? I don't think I can explain it better than it was ''too artsy fartsy'' I just didn't find it aesthetically pleasing. I've seen this style before elsewhere, and it's just a preference I have with doll like art, and the shape of the backgrounds. And the general theme of witches in the art. Feaor said that he felt the characters were sometimes disconnected from the background in Monogatari, but that exactly what I felt at the cake scene in the movie. In Bakemonogatari and other Monogatari installments the background is a lot more active and alive, and more so than just being aesthetically pleasing for me, they make sense in the context of what the scene is trying to convey. For example: - Whenever there are two named characters talking, the rest of the background characters are filled with blanks or question marks as they are not important and are background (I noticed that more shows are starting to copy this [Sakura Trick] - When Karen fights with Araragi. The scene is insanely exaggerated along with it's background where Araragi gets thrown around the city but in reality that wasn't the actual scale of the fight but the background was used to emphasis how the two characters intensified the fight in their mind. I find it hard to articulate why but Madoka's background and visual direction makes me numbed and bored, while I find Monogatari's to be refreshing and worth paying attention to (part of the reason why I never find the conversations in the series to be boring is because of the direction), in simpler words I find Monogatari's to has more variety, colors and express more moods and emotions, while it's usually melancholic in Madoka which is due to the story, I suppose. |

In Bakemonogatari and other Monogatari installments the background is a lot more active and alive, and more so than just being aesthetically pleasing for me, they make sense in the context of what the scene is trying to convey. Well I can understand that, it is a pretty radical artstyle in comparison to your usual anime art after all. I think the doll-like "handcrafted" art contrasts very well with the cutesy-moe art of the series in the beginning, giving it a rather creepy twist. It's exactly the lifelessness of a doll that describes very well the effect the witches' artstyle has on you. They are something that should not be alive, yet is. You say the art in Madoka is not alive, which I agree with. However, I think that exactly is the whole point and draw of it |

Though I don't really think it had the intended effect on me, and it's just me being bored with it. Feaor said that it's supports atmosphere but if I were asked to praise Madoka I would never ever mention the word ''atmosphere''. I never felt it. |

[yt]UzmlYV98C1I[/ yt] Films and game trailers especially do this all the time as the very first glimpse don't they? It's called baiting the viewer into generating hype.
