Hello everyone

I came here with some question about Mekaku City Actors !

I read on MAL that there is an alternative version called Kangerou Project (which is also the title of the novel) and on the page I see that there is 26 episodes... but google gave me nothing.

Is that an error on the page or does there actually IS an other anime called Kangerou Project ?

If so , what is the difference between the two anime ? It should be the same story but is there a huge difference , does watching Kangerou give more details and info on the question you have in Mekaku ?
It is longer so I guess it worth watching but since (always on the page) there is no information beside the number of episode I wonder...


And second main question: Any information about a Season 2 of Mekaku ?

Thanks for your time and reading this !

oh god please, NO! season 1 already give me cancer. the one that has 26 episode is special songs. MCA anime only has 12 episode that's it, the rest is just music.

Ho so basically Kangerou Project is just video clip ? Nothing to do with anime (aside the fact it is related to mekaku ) ?

Why ? It is not cliché neither full of vocaloid song and fan service... Shaft studio did a great job , I can understand that you don't like it , but to the point you qualifie that as "cancer" is excessive...
I'm curious about your opinion though.

As mayuka-chan linked, this playlist should cover all of them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvVOzmu1hP8&list=PLEEIO8w8dlzpsX7bL8BbGU0_17GKFePIw

Since they are not in the same order they are on MAL, you can probably check the playlist against MyAnimeList's list of episodes ( http://myanimelist.net/anime/30913/Kagerou_Project/moreinfo ). Do note that one vid actually contains 4 "episodes" (namely "[English Subs] Mekakucity Days & Mekakucity Records Instrumentals [Kagerou Project]").

>Is that an error on the page or does there actually IS an other anime called Kangerou Project ?
The anime page is indeed quite weird, since i believe you can no longer add it to your list. It's doubtful whether some of them can be considered "anime" i guess ?_? So it will be stuck in the limbo between anime and non-anime for a long while.

Feel free to contact a database admin/mod about it if you're really curious about its status in the database [ http://myanimelist.net/about.php?go=team ] But i can confirm that the 26 episodes do exist.

>If so , what is the difference between the two anime ? It should be the same story but is there a huge difference , does watching Kangerou give more details and info on the question you have in Mekaku ?
That, you can only answer yourself by watching the damn videos, and reading the wiki maybe.

>And second main question: Any information about a Season 2 of Mekaku ?
quite obviously, no

it is cliche, you like it or not but that's not the problem. i don't really care about vocaloid. shaft do pretty bad job other than "unique" art style. especially those flashback. the main problem is the pacing totaly mess and the character is has jumping development. not to mention the story pretty much doesn't make sanse.

Well I respect your opinion but I disagree, it is the total oposite for me.


The flashback are clear , they don't show up in the middle of an episode without adverstising, it always begin with the flashback then go to the curent time with clear camera view or word spoken that let you know you are now in the "present".
I didn't have any trouble with them at least.

And I don't see where you have no sense in the story , I will keep that spoiler free so will not explain in details , but the ability are quite explained , and each character explain when they got their "problem" that leaded to the ability. There is even an episode where you can see all the ability and who have them ( SPOILER SPOILER and even who is the queen END OF SPOILER ).
Why they are some chosen one and not other is not explained (or not yet in ep 10 ) but it is a bit the same as asking why there is magic in harry poter in my opinion.

For the art style , well it is not a good point for me haha (that's why I said it is total oposite for me) , I'm a monogatari fan ( bakemonogatari and following ) and the art style , camera view, effect , is really really close , so it is still very beautiful and good work , but I have a bit the impression to watch monogatari some time haha.

Not trying to say you are wrong , just that this is my humble opinion on the subject, I would be glad to know why you think the oposite if you wish so.

In any case thanks a lot for your replies !
