Hopefully better than the previous ones.

Wiziliz said:
I hope its good too but hoping that its better than Steins;Gate? Prepare to be disappointed if you have expectations that high.

Setting your expectations to Steins;Gate is actually quite low.

Hilarious and witty, not to mention delivered with excellent word choice and concise, straight-to-the-point clarity. A real HQ zinger.

Mika said:


Well this looks quite fascinating :)
The first anime of the Science Visual Novel series =^.^=
Hopefully better than the previous ones from the Science Adventure Series. Looking forward to a great story and beautiful OSTs

Not to shit on the party but:

>A-1 Animation Production
>Boobs in promotional
>Light novel adaptation

We all know the signs. Time to leave and never look back.

but your forum icons from an a-1 light novel adaptation that had ass in the pvs (an adaptation that turned out to be quite good in the end at that). even more ironic is the fact that occultic nines from the same publisher as grimgar and theyre the only two from overlap bunko that have received adaptations.

You can't really just look at the studio. From what I found out, most of the staff that do this is exactly from the staff that did shigatsu, including the music.

I don't see why people complain about A-1.
Mystery shows like Erased, Subete ga F ni maru, Shinsekai Yori. They adapted pretty good. I could say Mystery is the one of the best genre for them.
So I will waiting for it.

Not speaking for anyone else, but the reason "I" complain about A-1 is because they have made over seventy anime and I've hated every single one. I don't even like the "good" stuff they've made like ERASED, Shinsekai Yori, Tsuritama, Silver Spoon, Birdy the Mighty Decode, etc because they go in directions I don't find very appealing (and they're paced terribly to boot). Animation-wise, they're hit-and-miss, but nothing I'd put my faith in.

And even if they weren't attached, Occultic;Nine gets some early disdain from me because it's one of those semicolon anime. And I HATE these semicolon anime. Do you know why Steins;Gate is the only one of these to get all those sequels and spinoffs? Because the creators know it's the only entry of the franchise that people give a damn about.

Still watching this mind you. Regardless of previous history, unless it belongs to a genre I don't care about, I must give everything a chance to surprise me.



I have a better idea. Ignore the staff entirely and wait for the show to speak for itself.

Addendum: Okay, I do like their Persona 3 movies, but how much of my fondness for them can you place on A-1? The action in those films were also pretty bad, so it felt like i enjoyed them in spite of the studio.

TitanAnteus said:


You hate Shinsekai Yori and Silver Spoon?

Really?

Are you sure you don't just have a hateboner for the studio?

Flawfinder said:


I didn't know who A-1 was until after I finished those shows. And yes I dislike them. According to my friends, it takes Shinsekai Yori 18 episodes to get interesting and Silver Spoon takes 9 (in both seasons). That's too long to wait for whatever interesting drama the shows are apparently really about, especially when you have an utter disdain for the slice-of-life genre.

TitanAnteus said:

What? Shin Sekai is interesting from episode 1. Yeah it's a slow show, but the intrigue and mystery is always there.

Silver Spoon is a slife of life yeah, but there's still challenges the creators faced. The story was adapted faithfully and the original author is of Full Metal Alchemist fame.

Are you really judging these shows second hand?

Flawfinder said:


Intrigue and mystery can only keep me in for like ten minutes. After that, you need something else, because otherwise, you're nothing more than a series-long version of David Fincher's awful Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie. And by something else, I don't mean people going camping. I will NOT accept world-building/character-building on their own as substance. They're like explosions: fine as an element of a story, but on their own, they're terribly dull.

And I don't care if Hiromu Arakawa wrote the original manga. Watching someone take care of a dog or learning how to grow corn or whatever is not what I call fun. It'd be different if it was like Wolf Children where the mother had to get good at farming to raise her kids, but nothing of the sort ever occurred.

Also, I watched more than half of each series and found them boring, so no I'm not judging them second-hand.
