I like everything about that staff and cast except for the Gonzo + Director of Gonzo's awful Dragonaut - The Resonance. Maybe this won't be a failure because the premise sounds a lot better. Also, the characters look stupid cute and the cast is indeed god tier. Life is hard :P ![]() |
Dragonaut was a fairly shitty anime, but the production went well, Transformers GF had a good deal of directing too, so the directing might go well. The style will probably work for me, but I'm thinking of reading the manga first. Anime's like these.. hmm.. haven't seen one (unless you can count the first 3 eps of Hikaru no Go). But uhh, I enjoyed, for example; the Hikaru no Go manga a lot, and I think manga's for these types of series will work better then.. anime.. But it will probably end up on my to watch list eventually... ![]() |
lol... first impression: moe mahjong.... *sigh* hopefully we will get something contructive. *still optimistic* ![]() bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
As soon as I saw the word Gonzo I though... "This is gonna suck". Unlike Akagi, I can tell that the story will be padded out with fanservice and tsundere antics. ^_^ ![]() Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
Great news is great...except for the fact that its gonna be done by Gonzo. Also, there is something not right about the pic of Saki on the homepage. Oh well, its just a pic. Judgement will be passed when it airs. I accepted the anime page submission btw. http://myanimelist.net/anime/5671/Saki ![]() |
This is going to be the best anime... Just look at the long list of seiyuu cast, most of them are on my favorite list.. Miyanaga Saki: Ueda Kana (Honami - Rental Magica) Haramura Nodoka: Koshimizu Ami (Karen - Code Geass R2) Kataoka Yuuki: Kugimiya Rie (Mizore - Rosario to Vampire Capu2) Takei Hisa: Itou Shizuka (Tama-nee - ToHeart 2) Suga Kyotaro: Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch - Code Geass R2) It doesn't matter if the anime doesn't have good character designs. ![]() |

The awesome cast of characters will never be able to hide the Gonzo-ness of the series. =P ![]() Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
I read the Director and went "NOOOOOOO", i read Gonzo and i went "NOOOOOOOOO", now i only hope that they dont mess with the manga too much... ![]() |
I got happy to know this news cause i'm currently like Saki. 8D by "Gonzo" makes me wanna stick with the manga. :x funny how all the Seiyuus have either done a tsundere role, or a role which it's stuck hanging around with a tsundere. :> Ami Koshimizu - Kallen (Code Geass), Nina (Mai-Otome) Kana Ueda - Rin (Fate/Stay Night) Rie Kugimiya (QUEEN OF TSUNDERE) - Yuuhi Katagiri (Akane-iro), Nagi Sanzenin (Hayate), Shana (Shana), Iori Minase (IdolM@sters), Taiga Aisaka (ToraDora), Louise (Zero no Tsukaima) Ryoko Shiraishi - Hayate Ayasaki (Hayate // Nagi's victim) Jun Fukuyama - Lelouch (Code Geass // Kallen's victim), Itsuki Iba (Rental Magica // Ambler's victim) Shizuka Itou - Hinagiku (Hayate) i'm soorry if i forgot some and if i didn't do the names japanese style. :P ![]() |
Oh GONZO. I just caught up on this manga and I'm pretty hooked. If they put even half as much effort into this as they did with Strike Witches, it shouldn't turn out too bad. I pretty much respect every seiyuu on the current cast list. I've been waiting for Kana Ueda in a main character role again. ![]() |
Wow, I was having a hard time finding a preview, so I'm very grateful for those 6 minutes. As one could expect, the voice acting won't disappoint, Ueda Kana's voice is very flexible, so I couldn't relate Saki to any other role of her's. In Koshimizu Ami you can pick up a bit of Kallen, Kugimiya Rie's is as static and predictable as ever, the extra moe effect she needs to put in make Taco's voice sound like Momotarou's from ZKC or Chika from Hidamari Sketch. Fukuyama can't get much variation from Lelouch's voice, the same with Shiraishi Ryoko, stuck between Hayate and Nogami Aoi also from ZKC. Seeing from the picture currently in the anime's page, Gonzo already screwed up the character designs, though, and I bet the scenes where Saki is generally being awesome won't be nearly as awesome as they should. ![]() |

Maora said: Sesshomaruto said: ![]() NO PLOT NO FIDELITY TO MANGA ABSOLUTE NO SENSE ECCHI SITUATIONS INVOLVING LOLIS ONLY FINAL DESTINATION it seems you really never paid attention to the manga. :P /me facepalms One thing is to read the Manga because you like the setting, plot, characters, the mahjong game itself, etc. And other thing is to read it only to fucking fap to lolis. Guessing by your comment, I can tell that you fit into the second option. ![]() |
