| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa now that was weird...especially with the beginning and visuals. Couldn't take this seriously with the idea of the Loch Monster. However, I will say that some of the artwork feels a bit different than most shows I've seen so far.  That ending though.... Yeah, definitely not a normal show. |

| And no subs for this one... |
| Yami Shibai 3rd season :OOOOO |
HarpoCoatl said: Subs when? Yea I'm wondering when as well |
| Found this: No subs so I can't understand stuff, but it pretty much follows the standard "stupid people go where they shouldn't be and now there are monsters" kind of thing with the competent scientist coming in. With the anime debut of Tomovies as an Animation Production, it would naturally come to the cheaper side of animation which in this case is Pull Animation. Even the director is still a greenhorn with only one previous role to back himself up namely Yamishibai's director. I haven't seen it so no comment yet on how he actually works. But what makes this short interesting is the massive use of gradients and grain. It gives a unique tone to the animation and allows for some depth to it with the use of other special effects. Problem with this is that it works in some areas, and not with others (they had to use fades to transition facial expressions). I'll watch more of this to see how well this style can prove itself. And, if you download this, due to the grain, the video file is massively bloated which could be bad or good, I don't know but it's something to note. |

| From the looks of it, Banba-sensei is sort of a supernatural detective/scientist and has something like sensor that tingles at the presence of monsters or related objects. Yami Shibai's director is on the case, so it should be an interesting short? At least I hope so.. |
 |
| Finally subs. Um... Well, that wasn't as I expected it'd be. Very weird art. Probably skip |

| What the fu** did I just watch |
| Let’s say you drink too much strawberry milk, and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You don’t want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong! You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose! You think that all your life has led to this moment! YOU'RE STILL IN BED! That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads! But you can’t stop! THAT’S THE TRUTH OF THE STRAWBERRY MILK! DO YOU GET IT? ~ Gintoki An unforeseen situation... An unexpected turn of events... In the face of those, you too will face your true self. — Makishima Shougo |
| Well this is definitely not what I was expecting! The animation is just weird and I feel like I'm watching a paper cutout being animated. The ending though has me intrigued! Can't get much info in an 8 min short. We'll have to see where this goes! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| it was kind of comical at how cliche everything turned out to be towards the end but it was still enjoyable because i guess the atmosphere of the show was so different and weird. the animation definitely gives it a creepy effect and i kind of like it! i will keep watching and I'm pleased that Sugita was picked for Banba-sensei. |
| Hahahaha I was expecting something Vampire Holmes-like... And that's exactly what it was... Hahahahah |
 |
| Well that was not what I expected lol Still, it was pretty creepy....I might watch this all the way since its a short |
| Reminds me of Yami Shibai, might be interesting. |
| I think might have enjoyed this more if it wasn't a paper-cutout style of animation, instead going for the traditional route with an atmosphere similar to Level E. |
This is like the true PowerPoint presentation anime. The animation style is very 'unique' to say the least but I guess it's alright once you get used to it.  Banba's scar is obviously from one of these monsters. RIP the guy with the camera.  |

| lmfao TomTube the peeping tom |
 |
| I dont know what to think about this really, i just laughted when i see the monster lol |
| I've never seen Yami Shibai, though I do remember looking at it and wondering if I should watch it. Anyways, this was definitely different, not sure if I like it or not. I was surprised to hear Sugita's voice come out of Banba though. |
| The animation style is not my taste..but I will continue watch this. |
| It's really like Yami Shibai, as expected. I'll follow this series, it seems nice. |
| actually at first i was like "what the fuck is that crappy animation ?!" then i somehow got used to it , it's a decent anime if you don't really bother yourself with the cra... let's say "Unique" Animation XD |
 |
I've always loved kaiju, and now I'm seeing an anime of one! Really enjoyed this, I sort of got Jurassic Park vibes and I love the kaiju design. This episode was way too short, I was hoping it would last 24 or so minutes! Can't wait to see more! |
 |
| It's like Ranpo Kitan and Ninja Slayer in one. Won't be following this. I can't focus on the mysteries if what I'm seeing makes me laugh. |
| I'm watching this only cause it's weird. |
| I wasn't sure at first, but by the end I liked it enough to want to check out the next episode. It's kind of hard to gauge the series from this one, since it's basically just a prologue. |
| If you like Yami Shibai, you'll probably like this as well. |
 |
| Whoa WTH 0_______0 |
| The animation style makes it even more interesting. At least for me. Music was decent. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this. 8 min duration seems to be the right size for this. |
 |
| interesting animation but nothing promising will spare the 8mins for it though |
| Just what the fuck I watch? The art and animation style was unusual. I knew this is anime short. But I didn't think it would be like this! Anyway. 8 Minutes wasn't a big deal. So, I might still watch it |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| I totally have Yami Shibai in mind when I watch this show. No wonder, the diretor is the same guy. Tomokazu Sugita as Banba is a good combination I guess. |
| Damn! What kind of animation was that? I've have never seen anything like this in my life. |
 |
| A lot like Yami Shibai. Love it, hopefully it will be as creepy. |
| I liked it but I feel like it would be so so much better if it was animated properly, as opposed to the whole 'paper cut-out' feel. |
 |
| Uhm yeah, going to see what they will do in ep2 and then probably drop it. |

Xenocrisi said: Yami Shibai 3rd season :OOOOO with monsters and Sugita-san! YEAH! |
    |
| Honestly I am kinda dissapointed as a whole, although the suspence was nice. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
LittleStar said: Xenocrisi said: Yami Shibai 3rd season :OOOOO with monsters and Sugita-san! YEAH! Well, Yami Shibai has "monsters" too. |
| I really is like Yami Shibai, but not as good at building up the atmosphere or giving a feeling of dread. Let's see if it improves. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Certainly more intriguing than Lance N' Masques and Heavy Object so far. Interesting art, got used to it quite fast and it got somewhat suspenseful. |
