I'm so pumped for this as well but I have also forgotten everything from this series. This is one time where a recap movie may come in handy...

Kinda slow from MAL.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

From what I can tell, Shuka consists of former Brains' Base staff, call them separatists if you will, who decided to branch out, quit Brains' Base, and make their own company because they weren't being given enough creative freedom. In the case of DRRR and now Natsume it was because Brains' Base refused to greenlight production for another series/season.

@dizzyur In that case, it would be pretty dope if Shuka could pick up Isshuukan Friends for a sequel.

Shuka consists in Omori(main director of Brains Base) and his desire to create a studio for his projects, then he talked to some producers, the studio was created, and with this a bunch of staff quit brains base and went to shuka with him.
