| WHOA, Yuasa Masaaki! This almost gave a heart attack. I know nothing about this novel but this thing is so going on my plan-to-watch list. |
| Sounds interesting. Noitamina programs are always a breath of fresh air so this could be good. |
 |
| Yuasa is going mainstream. I wonder how much of his original style he could retain, and how well he could recover from his Kaiba failure. |

Have you seen the ratings Kaiba gets on this site? You're in the minority on this one. My elitist side is spazzing out right about now. Kaiba guy + Noitamina = HHNNNGGHH |

Have you seen the ratings Kaiba gets on this site? You're in the minority on this one. Have you seen other Yuasa anime? Judging by your list, you haven't. So go watch them and understand how inferior is Kaiba comparing to them. Duh, even Yuasa himself said that Kaiba didn't actually turn out that well as he was hoping. |
| Just a regular adaption news post, nothing special-- YUASA!!! seishi-sama said: Duh, even Yuasa himself said that Kaiba didn't actually turn out that well as he was hoping. I'm glad that he said that. As much as I love Kaiba, the main plot in the second half of the show was poorly executed. I think it's time to watch Yuasa's other works, while I wait for this show (and to see if seishi is right). |
| This is good news indeed. |
seishi-sama said: Yuasa is going mainstream. I wonder how much of his original style he could retain, and how well he could recover from his Kaiba failure. Kaiba... failure? Does not compute. This is the same block that gave us Mononoke, Hakaba Kitaro, and Trapeze. Something tells me his original style will be completely retained. |

seishi-sama said: Yuasa is going mainstream. I wonder how much of his original style he could retain, and how well he could recover from his Kaiba failure. This, however, is garbage. His Kaiba "failure"? What artist worth his salt doesn't express some dissatisfaction with what others see as incredible achievements? Some generic anime fanboy who describes a female character as "mai waifu~" in his profile and belongs to a bunch of trashy moe clubs is not fit to comment on Yuasa's work, quite simply. I do prefer Kemonozume above all, but to describe Kaiba as "inferior" even in reference to his other works is arrogant and douchey and just has no place in this thread. Go back to your vapid fluff and leave Yuasa to those who can appreciate him. |

Mononoke and Trapeze were directed by Nakamura Kenji and Hakaba Kitaro was directed by Chioka Kimitoshi (who is also the assistant director on Trapeze apparently). Anyway, this is good news even though the premise doesn't sound particularly appealing. |

Go back to your vapid fluff and leave Yuasa to those who can appreciate him. You know, I don't want to hear that shit from someone who's obviously thinks he's an "intellectual" or whatever, but in reality just a blatant fanboy of so-called "original", "surreal" or whatever it's called anime that can be described as "unusual", and fap at everything that's just a little bit different from "trashy moe" stuff. And actually, such kind of fanboys is the worst kind of fanboys, because they don't realise themselves as fanboys. Watching "intellectual" stuff and bashing everything else doesn't make you an intellectual, the ability to appreciate every existant genre does. So GTFO, smartass. |
| "the ability to appreciate every existant genre makes you an TR00 INTALLACTUAL" Haha, okay. You enjoy your fan-pandering trash genres. I'll watch Kaiba; maybe Chobits is more your thing. |
| His work has also become progressively more and more deeply emotional and human, which really has barely anything at all to do with being "intellectual" or "fapping" over it or whatever... I do happen to enjoy things that are a bit absurd, psychedelic, obscure, etc. but this also has little to do with the simple quality of storytelling in the anime he's worked on. It doesn't take much to understand what is good, if you actually care. If you don't, and you want to call me a pretentious smartass for caring, well, be my guest. |
| Oof, this thread. I'll be sure to stay out of discussion topics for this show. |
| How did I miss this? Masaaki Yuasa? Noitamina? I'm already anxiously awaiting this anime's release. It doesn't sound too appealing, but if anyone can make an anime intresting, it's Masaaki Yuasa. He can make anything into an unique experience. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| Glad I'm not the only one around here who loves Kemonozume that much. |
| haha i thought i closed /a/ a while ago |
| *can not respond... got his mind blown* ^^ ... I was really impressed by his Kaiba so yeah, this is a must watch for me. |

| ^ oh wow. That looks brilliant. |
