Xinception said: Free!'s killing everything o-o. Never thought fujoshis could unite like this. I liked free, I don't like Yaoi. The secret is that Free isn't Yaoi. People on Mal are just homophobes. |

Xinception said: The wonder of anime is that you can look at it many different ways. Being a yuri fan, I surely watch Madoka, Strike Witches, Saki with yuri eyes, but if someone wants to say these anime is not yuri, I won't object to it either. And I am sure the staff who made these anime know that it can be interpreted either way when they decided what story and interactions between characters to go. And this is the same as Free! - Fujoshi can do their BL fantasizing and it is all OK, and I see it as an anime without yaoi and it is all very well too. Free!'s killing everything o-o. Never thought fujoshis could unite and do something like this. |
| 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. |

SolviteSekai said: People are surprised that a show about talking raccoons that wasnt aimed at 8 year olds didn't sell? Are you referring to Uchouten Kazoku? If you go back few pages earlier, actually people weren't surprsied that it doesn't sell, rather they were disappointed. You know, that repulsive, irritating feelings that emerge from the bottom of your heart upon knowing a series with strong writing and huge potentials getting treated like second rate pulp fictions |

| Thrilled to see Love Lab get a 3rd week after all. Now to hope that it doesn't drop too much with the upcoming second vol. |

Free isn't Yaoi because nobody is getting ass rammed. Maybe you should look into the word 'mostly' and its meaning. Cause it certainly does not imply 'only this group of people' are buying the show. Obviously people who like swimming and are general KyoAni fans are more than likely buying it. Did I say it was yaoi? No. |

hpulley said: Very good question. I also wonder how the character design deal works in IS2. And I am also confused about CHOCO's role in IS2. The wiki page gave CHOCO the original character design for IS2 but this role is absent in the official anime website http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/is2/staffcast/ . CHOCO is only given the mecha design there. But CHOCO is given the original character design credit for IS2. And the character designer didn't work on IS either. Did Overlap buy the rights to the original character designs to avoid trademark issues etc.? The other major difference that caught my eyes is that in wiki the series composition role moves from a single person to the combined effort of the LN author and "IS Staff" but this role is absent in the official website. The new role of Series Director, on the other hand, is stated in both the wiki and the official anime site though. |

symbv said: Listed character designer Kumi Horii didn't work on IS but seems to be getting the only main character designer credits at least on the official page and the credits for episodes 1 and 2. CHOCO just gets 2nd Mecha design credit in episode 1 and 2's opening credits when clearly CHOCO draws characters on the novel covers at Overlap. No one gets original character design credits which is a strange one to leave out but I think it should be okiura. Will be interesting to see if they change it for the Blurays. And hopefully this doesn't cause any disputes leading to delays or anything like that.hpulley said: Very good question. I also wonder how the character design deal works in IS2.

| I'm still kind of dumbfounded by the sheer longevity of Love Live. I remember saying at the start of that season I figured it might be popular but I never expected it to become basically Sunrise Studio 8's most popular series to date. When my one friend who came back from Japan during the summer said it was crazy popular over there (he even had a Love Live wallpaper on his laptop) he really wasn't kidding. |
