Studio is JC Staff

FUCK

So, are they selling every GAINAX franchise? I hope Tigeer manages to buy P&S.

If they did it once they can do it again

As soon as we finish Aoki Uru we'll make Gunbuster 3 - Yamaga

it will be shit
because it wont look like the original thing
it will have a millenial artstyle
and that shit shouldn't be tolerated

Is it a sequel to Gunbuster or Diebuster?

>it's going to be done digitally by shitty web animators
Not even going to bother

It is going to be connecting the 2.

ttgl surcôté

Not sure how I feel about this.

There already was a sequel.

It wasn't as good.

...

Houkago no Pleiades was great, what are you talking about.

That show fucking sucked.

But they were already connected.

Eh.
I don't mind Gunbuster 3, Diebuster wasn't good as a sequel to begin with, so it can't ruin anything.

Not too happy about this, but I'll reserve judgment till there are more details.

I thought the change in style between GB and DB fit the change in tone and story, so I'd be all for a sequel changing things up again. Trying to design a straight-faced sequel to either of them after all this time sounds like the wrong idea.

>3D CG gunbuster
This on the other hand would piss me off to no end.

There were a lot of unanswered questions in 2, so I can see this being a good setting. Still, I'm not sure how often you can re-use the same themes of loneliness and sacrifice without overplaying it.

>I thought the change in style between GB and DB fit the change in tone and story, so I'd be all for a sequel changing things up again. Trying to design a straight-faced sequel to either of them after all this time sounds like the wrong idea.
So in your opinion, a good story excuses an ugly artstyle?
You've got it wrong, but that's not something I can convince you of. It'd be like trying to explain a krokodil addict that the high isn't worth the loss of his limbs and life.

So is this Gainax's way of saying they've run out of ideas?

you. me. fight. now.

If only.

No, you see, if they had truly run out of ideas they would give us something that's exactly like their old productions we like. But they still have ideas. Most likely dumb ones that involve CGI and ugly character designs.

Your opinion fucking sucks.

>So in your opinion, a good story excuses an ugly artstyle?
No, that's not what I said.

In your opinion, was Diebuster an ugly show? Because that's what I'm hearing, and if that's the case I don't think I'd be able to convince you of anything.

Does Gainax have any talent that hasn't fucked off and became freelance or made their own studio already?

Well no, you won't be able to convince me of anything that's blatantly wrong, such as "post-1995 artstyles aren't generally ugly" or "Diebuster didn't have ugly character designs".

Aoki Uru will be canned again for this shit.

Considering that Pleiades was better than any TV show that Trigger has shat out, yes.

OK, I see how it is. I hope it goes full TTG or Inferno Cop just to piss you off, but I also don't think there's any style a studio would realistically choose in this day and age that fits your criteria. Stay mad, grandpa.

Wait. The source is a guy saying Yamaga said it?

It looks like he's reporting from a con.

Reminder that Diebuster was a masterpiece that could stand on its own.

This happened at a convention. I just wanted to get the news out fast because I was excited. Sorry for tha but I cant give a direct source until the slow ass anime outlets get their shit collected. But its accurate.

But the payoff of the series makes no sense on its own.

>two Noriko figures in the mail
What a strange coincidence. Though I'm with this user and I'm leery of Going to be really hard to do the original justice.

Yeah, Connichi 2016 going on in Germany right now. Seems like Gainax has attended before so no reason to believe this isn't true.

Where's the fucking sequel to Honneamise, Gainax? The one you've been teasing for over 25 fucking years now???
Where?
You faggots said you were working on it just a couple years ago. What the fuck happened???

some people really thing animating in digital is different? Or it's just shitposting.

Yes please.

Anime is shit. Only sponsors and money matters

But WHY.

The ending was fine. God damn it. Stop making sequels of stories that don't need sequels.

They're working on some show about free-diving now, so Aoki Uru never.

Good animation doesn't come from new commers, you need people with a lot of experience in the team. Gunbuster taught us that :^)

Anime crisis maybe? Check next season for example
>no battle harem LN trash
>fujo and sol everywhere

>Good animation doesn't come from new commers
Sure. And you can't learn how to draw if you born after 1980.

>to work on original things you need money

I like to imagine that entire interview took place with both interviewer and anno having their back turned away from each other in a dark room where neither of them moved for the entire duration of the interview and the interviewer then left the room via a series of confusing jump cuts that look suspiciously like reused footage from earlier in the day.

Yeah, that's why it didn't get made right after Nadia wrapped. Just couldn't secure funding even though Anno was tapped to direct and he just finished his second big hit anime.
Gainax tried again in '98, releasing hundreds of production sketches and images on CD to try to build hype and get the project rolling again.
Again, it didn't work and I wish I could find a copy of those images.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This tease is killing me.

That nigga wants $40 million to make it, Miyazaki doesn't need that much to put out a film.

Of course the money is a problem.

Sadly, I can't argue with that.

Anno is actually at his best when the budget is limited.
That's why the TV ending of NGE is better directed than EoE.

>Miyazaki doesn't need that much to put out a film.
Are you sure? Miyazaki has Hollywood tier budget

>TV ending of NGE is better directed than EoE.
Eva bait thread is not here

I swear to god if you pull a fucking Diebuster I will not be happy.

The climax and real payoff of Diebuster isn't even okaerinasai

>Eva went to Khara
>FLCL went to IG
>Gunbuster went to JC
P&S to Trigger when?
And who should get Honneamise, Nadia and Abenobashi?

Ponyo was his highest budget at $34 million

GAINAX is a dead studio, with most of its creative team gone and its franchises sold. Unless other studio pick up Honneamise it will never be made.

>And who should get Honneamise, Nadia and Abenobashi?
No one. Ever.

Miyazaki will buy Nadia so nobody will ever make a sequel.

NHK already made one. It was an abomination.

ask.fm/valerauko/answers/138331562739
>No, it's not. It vastly underestimates just how low anime production costs can go. The lows are around Y6 million an episode, while the highs (high profile Bones-Sunrise-IG shows) can go up to 15-20 million. As for movies, cheap kids' shows sometimes don't even reach the Y100 million mark, while the money involved in Ghibli movies is on a whole different (American?) scale. Mid-range movies and high-profile OVAs probably cost about the same, averaging around Y200 million.

FUCK! SOME PRICK THREW A TAKEDOWN ORDER FOR AN AMV WITH THE BEST BITS OF GUNBUSTER.

THE TRACK AND THE VIDEO ARE GONE FOREVER.

youtube.com/watch?v=sEgcWquu_IA

Just rewatch the show you walking cancer cell.

The original wasn't very good anyway.

But I don't want to go though 6 episode of teen angst to get my fix of mecha, ship and space-technology porn (only good part of anno's directing).

Besides, Kohei Tanaka's 'March of Excalion' simply cannot be found anymore not even on the OST.

Put up your dukes faggot.

youtube.com/watch?v=A3M-XFxF1UQ

Oh, look, another plebeian.
How cute.

Modern Gainax is so utterly soulless, same with Khara. Trigger is the only studio that has any right to make a true succesor to Gunbuster, and it still wouldn't be as good as the original.

>There were a lot of unanswered questions in 2, so I can see this being a good setting. Still, I'm not sure how often you can re-use the same themes of loneliness and sacrifice without overplaying it.
There was supposedly a short manga or something in the 90s that told what happened in the intervening years. IIRC basically Humanity got the shit scared out of them by galaxy eating god-like beings, so they ran back to Sol and cut off the system from the outside world in hopes they get overlooked.

Also, Nono was absurdly powerful, where cutting planets in half was just part of a monologue. She was built to combat something terrifying.
Gainax has a series about a Free-diver in future flooded Japan that looked really cool.

Sadly true, anime is almost completely corporatized, monetized and on a mass production assembly line system nowadays where prolific production committee companies like Aniplex, Bandai, Kadokawa, Bushiroad etc mainly just look after their own ends and don't give a fuck about anything or anyone else. It's more obvious than ever nowadays with how production committee means far more for what's going to happen with a given anime than studio and staff does and I never recall publishers trying to put their own name and branding ahead of the actual people that do the animation and design work the way Aniplex especially does for example.

Under the current production committee system studio basically just handles the animation work and they may not even get to decide on what or how it's going to look like if the production committee demands it look like something else popular on the theory that it'll mean more sales. Production committee now decides even writer, staff, composer, often director as well as theme song tie-ups, cast and any sort of marketing tie-ups and merchandise leaving studios to basically do the grunt work on animating and play a minimal role in production decision making.

This guy being old school doesn't want to do it like that, he wants to be able to be passionate and involved in what he animates instead of selling out hard like a Kawamori or Shinbo though arguably the latter never did care about anything other than pleasing his corporate overlords and trying to make them money.

Most current generation directors, writers, composers don't really give a fuck either way though as they'd be nowhere without production committee marketing to begin with (I don't see people leaping out of their seats to see the latest Okouchi/Sawano/Araki clusterfuck without the hype marketing that goes into selling it to people for example) which is why they get caught up in this system and never truly amount to anything on their own in the long run.

Holy fuck aniplex guy is back

didnt read lol

>Besides, Kohei Tanaka's 'March of Excalion' simply cannot be found anymore not even on the OST.
Pretty sure it can.

The original is really only good for the Obari sequence you know

>Starts with Aniplex
Yup this is where we stop reading.

>same with Khara
Their animator expo shorts were pretty great in my opinion.

Director of FLCL and Diebuster went to Khara. His Expo short is probably my favorite. Too bad he's stuck under Anno doing Eva Rebuilds, really wish he'd actually do his own things.

Sad to see some of the best directors in the industry are stuck in a prison studio to do shorts and nge for the rest of their lives. Imagine if they were free to reign. Imagine 10 series by these khara guys right now.

He is the director of FLCL 2. Originally he was supervising director but he got upgraded to director.

They're far and away better than most. At least Khara bothered to fund that Nihon Animators Project and isn't a bitch to some production committee overlord. I'd say that automatically gives them more soul and passion than 95% of current studios.

Trigger on the other hand with the exception of Luluco has already bitten the bullet and basically sold out to Aniplex for funding and look where it's getting them with Kiznaiver bombing because lets be honest it's just not at all their thing and totally Aniplex working on their theory that asshole characters and shit tons of marketing=the next big hit series. It probably was meant for A-1 originally but they just wanted to do it in that particular season and Trigger was the only one with an open enough schedule, at least that's my theory given the whole Okada connection.

Sorry but I don't want Trigger in it's current Aniplex bitch state working on a potential Gunbuster sequel and having Hiroyuki Sawano slapped on to do the soundtrack instead of Kohei Tanaka nor do I figure they would end up doing so anyway because Bandai Visual is the publisher for Gunbuster and they don't work with Trigger.

diebuster was honestly shit though. Gunbuster was so much better.

>JC Staff
I have faint hopes for this.

For you guys who needs an official source crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/09/18/third-aim-for-the-top-gunbuster-reportedly-in-developement

Wouldn't want you to stop loving them or anything like that. Don't particularly give a shit if you don't read it or not to be honest because I don't make these points for braindead idiots sake anyway.

rather have studios be a bitch to producers and give me anime then shorts.

fuck off aniplex guy. you quit mal to shitpost on Cred Forums

That's not an official source. That's an article using the same exact tweet that was posted in the OP as a source.

Sweet

This

After a rewatch of both a couple years back I'd kind of disagree. Gunbuster takes nearly forever to truly get going due to Anno's pretentiousness with the whole thing and making the first half a parody of Aim for The Ace. Diebuster on the other hand is more clear and concise with where it wants to go and is immediately exciting and interesting within the first couple of episodes. It's clear it knows what it wants to do anyway and just feels more like everybody at Gainax at the times passion project, not just Anno's. Both are money in SRW though.

Oh fuck yeah, forgot about that actually. That's what gives me some hope that FLCL 2 won't be shit.
>Trigger
Trigger sold out from the start, they specifically said that they wanted less creative control than when they worked at Gainax (something like "we had too much freedom over there"). They are riding on Imashi's style to sell.

They are free, they just go where the money is.

TTGL Reboot any moment now

I never asked for this.

Sounds pretty shilly but that's your preference I suppose. Personally I'd take a short where the people involved actually truly give a shit about what they're doing over 12 episodes of schlock commercial garbage ridden with QUALITY any day of the week. Sorry if my viewpoint and not absolutely fellating Sony's cock doesn't jive with Cred Forums's shitposting regimen.

Did you read his last line, he was being facetious

Just get a fucking trip you faggot.

Your shitposting is much more cancerous. And even studiowars is tolerable compared to your whining over the industry you know nothing about. Pure speculation based on observations rather than inside information doesn't make you factual.

Aniplex is only growing more and more. Hopefully they become the masters to the entire industry so you can stop watching anime altogether and die out.

Businessmans ruin everything

Doesn't really surprise me. A lot of studios think they can get by on one particular style because with the whaling strategies the industry likes to employ and things costing 4 times what they reasonably should they kind of can. Personally though I don't think Imaishi has nearly the kind of cult fanboy following with otaku that Trigger seems to think he does, but it clearly works better for them than whatever the fuck was supposed to be happening with Kiznaiver.

imagine caring about the business side of anime
imagine not watching anime for entertainment

How am I shitposting though? You're the one having the Cred Forums style meltdown in an otherwise decent thread while I'm just sharing honest opinions.

On the other hand pretending to suck corporate cock and saying baity things like I hope Aniplex takes over the entire industry is pure grade shitposting so good luck with all that. Sorry but I refuse to believe anyone besides a card carrying Cred Forums shitposter would actually support a soulless corporation just to stick it to some guy on a forum for criticizing them along with a couple of others practices. You can stop talking to me now, you won't get anymore replies because you're a complete fake dude.

Dix Neufer gets it.

Like Shinbo's style in Monogatari put into Mekaku City Actors.

The soulless corporation you bash has provided some of the highest quality and interesting anime in the industry. You are mad because the industry isn't 90% mecha anymore.

Sorry but again, you arent actually correct with your shit opinions.

Both Gunbuster and Diebuster were great
I'm with this guy, w-what he says.

Oh fuck, why do the best series always have the worst threads? It's so annoying because it means you can only really have decent threads about bottom tier trash which everyone agrees is garbage and enjoys ironically.

no

Because nothing good can come out this.
The entire reason why Gunbuster and Diebuster were great because they were products of their time. Webgen animators of today cannot do it justice.

>rather have studios be a bitch to producers and give me anime then shorts.
That's retarded

Isn't Imaishi doing a spiritual successor for the 10th anniversary?
And while we're on the topic, weren't we supposed to get some info about LWA2 one of these days?

Is Aniplex some sort of instant trigger word for Cred Forums now? Seriously the guy mentions them once among several other points as an example of a company that loves to pimp it's brand out and several people go into shitpost mode instantaneously except for who actually gets the bloody point like a somewhat reasonable person.

Anyway this topic needs to go back to Gunbuster mode fast. I don't really consider Crunchyroll an official source for news on this sort of stuff.

Source?

Nice samefag. You really gave it away when you linked a 3 word post as a reasonable argument

Not him, but Aniplex seriously seriously lost their way after around the Monogatari and Madoka stuff. Mainly when it comes to the anime originals.

The anime originals Aniplex funds are so obviously mass-market approved that it's ridiculous and it wouldn't even bother me if they were any good but most of them aren't. They coast on being familiar to a previous hit or having something familiar to a previous hit like a character or a staff member but it never seems to work out and comes across as embarassing. Just look at Quality Code from this season, that was just a mistake waiting to happen

What can you expect from obvious shitposting bait. Honestly my problem with Cred Forums shitposting isn't that it's shitposting necessarily but that it's blindingly fucking obvious when people are having obviously fake opinions to start shit. Cred Forums is just fucking bad at it but when most people that post here seem to be more than willing to play along and fill threads with the standard "kill yourself" replies and 10 year old name calling I suppose there's no reason to get too creative or clever.

Go back to MAL then

Writing run-on sentences doesn't make you sound clever autist boy

Kabaneri is probably the best example of how Aniplex is fucking up hard to say nothing of Kiznaiver.

And more importantly, how did this conversation get about Aniplex anyway? Are they behind this? I thought it was Bandai

Probably because Cred Forums hasn't told you what to think yet

>anything post-Trigger Gainax
It's fucking nothing.

Because Aniplexfag is throwing a tantrum again and derailing the whole thread.

Its a Gaianx crisis since all their talent left. They started with FLCL and now another Buster.

No real talent left Gainax though.

People dont realize Gainax has been a decline for a while now. There is a reason why in the mid 2000s they were working with Shaft for a couple projects.

We are now just seeing them on their last leg.

They honestly didn't used to be that fucking bad up until around 2014 when they started ass raping their A-1 division with 10 projects to animate at any given time and just engaging in what looks like a bidding war to score any hit license the moment it gets shopped for an animation adaptation and then just turning around and cranking out a rushed adaptation with shit scripts, virtually the exact same casts and either Sawano, Iwasaki or Kajiura music slapped onto it almost exclusively. Also if Urobuchi, Okada or Okouchi is doing anything they'll instantly try to get in on it somehow leading to a homogenization of their writing staff sand the kind of originals they put out towards this weird edgy emotionally stunted garbage. I miss when they used to do decent originals like Darker than Black, Madoka Magica TV or Gurren Lagann that actually made me feel things other than here we go again with the usual stuff. Also just when I think their originals can't get any worse after stuff like Charlotte and Aldnoah.Zero they keep managing to hit even greater lows with things like Kiznaiver and Qualidea Code. Also I'm reasonably sure Key and Kagerou Project fans are right some pissed after what happened with the adaptations of Rewrite and Mekaku City Actors.

Also it doesn't matter if you say you're not "Aniplex Guy" because if you say anything critical about them to shitposters that makes you Aniplex Guy and is supposed to invalidate everything you said instantaneously somehow. It's the same tactic shitposters use on Cred Forums for any time anybody says anything even remotely positive or optimistic about FFXV only in that case it makes you "FFXV-Kun" and instantaneously invalidates anything they say.

Anyway Gunbuster has nothing to do with them so this is all ultimately beside the point. Just a bunch of shitposters getting triggered over somebody criticizing the same sort of system that was criticized in the interview and daring to include the most obvious example.

Some people got triggered fucking hard when a couple people pointed out Triggers relationship with Aniplex and that they're a key example of an overbearing sponsor that people like Gainax's directors wouldn't want to work with if they could avoid it.

Other way around.

It's obvious who you are from the autistic run-on sentences you use to sound clever lol

Anno was what made Gainax.
Aside from PSG, Pleiades, and Hanamaru Kindergarten, I don't think anything after Anno left was good.

Too true. It's almost always to say "it's shit though" but it depends entirely on the phase something is in and where Cred Forums is directing it's shitposting at any given time. The more inflammatory the position might be the more people will claim to hold it.

>Aldnoah.Zero
But I enjoyed Aldnoah moderately...

Literally everyone realizes that "Gainax" doesn't exist anymore.
And they never were a big studio, they've always needed help for their big projects.

Who cares dude? Drop the subject already.

>anno was what made gainax
Literally shut the fuck up, no he wasn't.
All Anno was was just a pretty good animator. His directed work was decent at best, he hasn't made anything great.
I hate how Cred Forums overrates the fuck out of him.

Apart from NGE and Buster they weren't even that profitable. Sadly I can see Shaft go the same route seeing as how they only have 2 franchises keeping them afloat.

>GAINAX
No talent is left there, who cares.

youtube.com/watch?v=vo8_Vj4eXjk

Why aren't they rebooting TTGL? That one actually lends itself for it, they already did parallel works and you could even do lord genome prequel

Aldnoah.Zero was pure marketing show written by ghostwriters

>when a couple people pointed out Triggers relationship with Aniplex
When I started ranting out about Aniplex yet again*
FTFY, you samefagging nigger.

Because TTGL was a Getter Robo reboot.

NGE, Gunbuster and Kare Kano are the top 3 Gainax series m8.

Will it be another -buster or are we getting the God of Zakus back?

>Sadamoto as original character designer
Not bad, not bad.

Unless, the studio, opt for someone else. Although, I can't see it being no one other than Sadamoto.

JC Staff is the studio tho

Only Kare Kano was decent, and that's because the source material was already garbage to begin with.

>no nadia

I enjoyed it nevertheless. Rarely do I watch shows for more than 12 episodes these days, let alone two seasons.

>His Expo short is probably my favorite
Didn't know about it, thanks.
What the fuck did I just watch?

Not him but that is an even better reason to reboot it.

I honestly want a Nadia remake without the Filler bullshit.

Neo Atlantis was based as fuck

Can I buy all this shit on a DVD someday?

Most of it's fucking gold

>And who should get Honneamise
Ghibli.
>Nadia
Toei Animation.
>and Abenobashi?
MAAPA.

>>And who should get Honneamise
>Ghibli.

Fucking fund it

???
Animators Expo BD are out. They all fops tho.

>DVD
nigger why not on BD, all shorts were made in at least 720p

Doesn't matter. I watch anime for enjoyment, not for it to sell above 5k and pretend I care about sales.

Not directed at you but the recent salefags and studiowars really make no sense in judging quality of anime.

Ah, I guess I meant in English

Not that Friday/MeMeMe or some others need language at all but some others do

>>Nadia
>Toei Animation.
Die.

Because I'm a massive poorfag who only has CRTs--though probably going to change that soon.

I got a second hand PS3 so I can play BDs, I just have no reason to at the moment

The point that "artistic" anime sells like shit. It's just show how everything is bad in industry. "Normal" people just don't cares about anime without big names. Only other artist cares

Fucking extension saving the name I used once for a shitty joke I don't even remember.

>Gunbuster takes nearly forever to truly get going
This is necessary for the emotional impact of the whole time fuckery at the end. If you don't reserve some time for Noriko's school friend, seeing her getting old and having a kid who ends up being the same age as Noriko has no payoff for example. That said, I don't disagree with your opinion, the first half is indeed kinda slow and Diebuster is indeed paced better.

>The point that "artistic" anime sells like shit. It's just show how everything is bad in industry.
Wasn't this always the case? I remember Giant Robo sold like shit and barely managed to get completed.

I think it could be fine. I'm not expecting another Gunbuster, just like Diebuster wasn't the same as Gunbuster either. It's been a good number of years since Diebuster, getting close to the distance between Gunbuster and Diebuster.

I think enough time has passed to make a new chapter make sense.

All the same, that doesn't mean it will be good. Current Gainax is not what it was when Gunbuster was made. It's not even the same as when Diebuster was made.

Tsurumaki is directing 2017's The Dragon Dentist. Along with the writer of FLCL and Diebuster; Enokido. 45 minutes.

Wasn't the ending pretty conclusive? In fact, how will it tie in with the Diebuster being in the same canon(granted, it's been years since I've watched either show, but I think they were somehow connected)

For what purpose?

2 45 minutes shorts.
10 years ago I would have been in tears, but now Star Driver and Captain Earth happened.
But seriously, anyone has the source of Tsurumaki directing FLCL 2?

>at least that's my theory given the whole Okada connection
Her. Imaishi, Yoneyama and Kobayashi worked on Black Rock Shooter. That's the connection. And, Kobayashi advised Okada to turn Kiznaiver from a action oriented battle series to a character driven story.

Yeah, it's a shame, I want a new anime directed by Saeki or Kawajiri.

i just realized how fucking retarded anime is

you all have no livees

You could argue the same about Diebuster, the Gunbuster ending was already good enough. It left me with a sense of mystery since they were returning to a completely different civilization thousands of years in the future that they then don't show you, with the welcome spelled wrong to give even more of a sense that mankind doesn't even know things like the Japanese language anymore. Just by existing Diebuster already detracts from the Gunbuster ending a little, which is not really a problem IMO since it's fun enough to be worth a watch and you can just ignore it. And the Diebuster ending isn't any more conclusive than the Gunbuster ending, so nothing really stops them from adding yet another chapter to the story.

Anime (and many other things) becomes lovely again once you learn to accept mediocrity.

Try not to strive for being critical and having agreeable opinions, but consuming things without prejudice and you'll find things that suit only your taste.

I didn't mind Star Driver. Yet, Captain Earth on the other hand, intolerable.

I don't know rather that user is an imbecile or on drugs, however, I couldn't find a source on the Tsurumaki serving as Director.

>What the fuck did I just watch?
2 girls and a guy were friends, both girls liked the guy but agreed to not do anything to keep the friendship intact. The 2nd girl and the guy started dating behind her back. When the girl found out, she felt betrayed. She mopped for a bit, then decided to actually take charge. She went to the dark girl's school, tore her a new one before meeting the guy and doing the same. At the end she's free.

All through the metaphor of alien squirrels piloting a robot tank, trying to deny their enemy resources.

>Isn't Imaishi doing a spiritual successor for the 10th anniversary?
Doesn't Imaishi call everything he does a spiritual successor of TTGL?
Or is that just spergs on Cred Forums?

>Captain Earth
I still remember how the first episode was so cool. Would've worked great as just a single short. Every episode after that is just increased disappointment.

Fuck this gay earth.

Like mentioned, there are a few gaps in the story. Noriko and Nono saved humanity but they never eradicated all of the space monsters. At the end of DB they start venturing out past the solar system again where they would presumably meet more of them. There are also missing details about the origins of the solar defense system, the origins of the later buster machines, and the nature of the Fraternity.

Star Driver is great. Captain Earth is shit.

>Star Driver is great
It's Utena if they removed everything that made Utena interesting.
And added dozens of useless fucking characters.
Watchable but nothing more.

animation is basically the same, similar process to traditional animation with genga/douga then cel. difference is if they utilise CG

coloring is another matter

Star Driver was great until best girl lost.
It was just less fun afterwards and I'm still mad over the "Loving two guys hurts so much!" bullshit.

CG is killing animation.

The question on everybody's lips is 'will it be ambiguously gay?'.

>ambiguously

GAINAX may be shit but they're not so shit they'd just forget the important parts

I feel like the only thing they could do to fuck it up would be making it after the end of Diebuster. Probably the best route to go is something during the 12000 year gap in between it and Gunbuster.

I wonder how they'll pull off a tearjerker ending this time around.

More than piracy?

Piracy is just the result of inconvenient, slow and overly expensive distribution methods, but it's not killing anything.

So long as it not as bad as the first half of Gunbuster or god forbid the middle of Diebuster I'll be satisfied.

The latter.

Is Gainax working on it?

>that shitty taste

Either that or set it really far after the end of Gunbuster. The way Diebuster added to Gunbuster's ending was great, but it doesn't need more things intertwined with it. We don't need dumb convoluted canon like a lot of western stuff like Star Wars has.

Read the thread

Where does the source say it?

FUCK THE HATERS I'M HYPED

I remember when drawfag made this, good old Cred Forums.

Holy shit, I can't believe I skipped this one. That was delightfully strange.

>We don't need dumb convoluted canon
>teenage girls piloting prototype military tech
It's not like Gunbuster was wholly internally-consistent either. Although I'll admit I haven't watched the science shorts yet

name 5 things that got revived years later that weren't absolutely raped

on literal all media, anime, movies games

>piracy
>killing anything
Love this meme.

The new American Godzilla wasn't as bad as the older American Godzilla.

1. Yamato 2199
2. Yamato 2199
3. Yamato 2199
4. Yamato 2199
5. Yamato 2199

Gunbuster, unless you're one of the people who hate Diebuster.

YES YES YES

I don't. Enjoy your QUALITY.

Is it going to have pubes? This is important.

Giant Robo's production issues also had to do with Imagawa being a perfectionist.

Not even tits.

>They make the same ending for the third release as well
>They use the timeframe when Lal'C was still a teen until she was an adult to make that ending happen
I can't be mad about this.

Shin Godzilla.

I hope this is great like Diebuster.

Noriko was my first fapfu.

I can't imagine them not having tits at least once. Diebuster had tits too, although it felt like a bit less than Gunbuster did.

Anno should get off his ass and make a new Nadia personally after rebuilds are done. He has every right to do so considering the production fuckery is part of the reason Eva exists to begin with

JC STAFF IS NOT THE STUDIO YOU FUCKING RETARDS

THIS GUY SAID THIS TO TROLL YOU PROBABLY BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THE OP WAS A BULLSHIT RUMOR THAT WAS JUST ADDING ONTO

>Holy shit, I can't believe I skipped this one
Skipping any TOR short is just sinful, even if some of them aren't good.

JC Staff has nothing to do with this

Now I want to rewatch both Gunbuster and Diebuster

What are the best BD release I should grab?

Another shitty sequel just like Diebuster?

Osomatsu.

Gunbuster is overrated

Retard, 2199 was raped.

Perhaps but it was much more enjoyable than Diebuster by a mile.

Too bad you're like the only one having this shit opinion, /m/

I just arrived at home from Connichi. Yamaga also announced a new anime today and showed a trailer that was 3 minutes long with the title "Lights of Sand". Apparently it is 80 years in the future and the sea level rose by 30 meters, so free diving became a popular sport. Also, many big cities are under water now of course.

Alright so I know the bit at the end of Diebuster where Lark grabs NoNo's tit and her hand basically morphs through her skin and into her "heart" is a reference to EoE but

What did they mean by this?

Sounds comy as hell.

>Gainax has a series about a Free-diver in future flooded Japan that looked really cool.
What is this?

So, Amanchu? We really needed this.

You will see in 1 month, but we germans are so privileged, we get information like this directly from the source.
Also, Panty and Stocking S2 will be done by another studio

see It's called Akubi o Suru ni wa Wake ga Aru

It seems darker. There are 2 MC grills (both waifu material) one is a pro free-dive girl and the other one has issues and talks to herself with finger puppets.

>Also, Panty and Stocking S2 will be done by another studio
Why must you tease me like this, Hans?

Thanks, user.

>Why must you tease me like this, Hans?
Do you think I enjoyed what i heard there?

>sea level rose by 30 meters
>so free diving became a popular sport
People can't take even climate change seriously anymore.

Oh, you were serious? Sorry, misread your tone.

>There were a lot of unanswered questions in 2

No there fucking wasn't. Not every thing needs an explanation and the mysteries where part of the setting. Any answer they can give will never live up to fan expectation.

It's gonna be PT star wars all over again

So why should we trust this random twitter account?

Hey Cred Forums I'm the guy who interviewed Yamaga and Sadamoto, I hadn't time to read the whole thread but you have any questions I may answer them.
Yamaga still has to show the Top wo nerae 3 project to the sponsors but he's confident enough that they'll give him the money since it's popular (unlike Aoki Uru)
Concerning Aoki Uru, he may show a trailer in 2017, but he's still not sure.
Akubi o suru ni wa wake ga aru is in preproduction, it was finally greenlit and it will be 13 episodes. We have no date but I guess it will come out in the second half of 2017.
Regarding FLCL 2 Sadamoto said he had one meeting where he met the director but already forgot about his name and he didn't really work on it yet.

Art looks pretty

>Yamaga still has to show the Top wo nerae 3 project to the sponsors but he's confident enough that they'll give him the money since it's popular (unlike Aoki Uru)
>Concerning Aoki Uru, he may show a trailer in 2017, but he's still not sure.
Wasn't Aoki Uru being funded by a group from Shanghai?

>Yamaga still has to show the Top wo nerae 3 project to the sponsors but he's confident enough that they'll give him the money since it's popular (unlike Aoki Uru)
Did he say who the sponsors might be?

what part of GAINAX Director Yamaga is given you trouble?

I thought GAINAX was too busy with their tomatoes to make anime?

Also concerning Panty & Stocking 2 Yamaga said he has nothing against Trigger doing a second season, they just never discussed it.

Concerning Top 3, Gainax would do it, Sadamoto should take care of the designs but Yamaga still hasn't chosen any staff for it.

>Sadamoto should take care of the designs
Please no.

Who shot first, Han or Greedo?

You mean the LLP Mr. Yamaga & Co., set up in Singapore to benefit of its tax haven policies.

>Singapore
That's what it was. Knew it started with an S.
Hey, if he can actually pull off all this stuff, more power to him.

That failed, he told that to manganimation.net last year. He already had a trailer ready but someone at Gainax told it it was crap so he started again from scratch.

Why haven't Gainax put out anything since like forever? Bleeding staff?

Nope he didn't want to talk about the sponsors nor about numbers when we asked if they still get money from Evangelion Blurays by Khara or if they will get anything out of FLCL2

>has a problem with a guy who wants less shitflinging and more quality discussion.
You first.

Is that his official twitter? If not, all we're going on is some random nobody's claim.

If you researched for more than one second you'd notice this is legit

>He already had a trailer ready but someone at Gainax told it it was crap so he started again from scratch.
Nice. He's an industry veteran, good that he's got people to tell him when his stuff sucks.
Mostly that, yeah, but I think they've mainly been doing subcontracting for other studios.
They had a show last year, Houkago no Pleiades, that was overall pretty 'meh' but it had some real nice high points.

Well I also interviewed Shinichiro Watanabe, Eiji Otsuka, Mahiro Maeda but I guess I'm just nobody, don't trust me

Man, Studio Khara doesn't even let GAiNAX appear anymore in the credits of EVA as original creator, as it appears in the new TV airing:

twitter.com/shota_/status/776794627907067905

The well is poisoned, Hideaki Anno is the only responsible now of everything related to the franchise, along their GroundWorks affiliated company.

Takami Akai admitted before they would concede to Mr. Anno demands so he doesn't get angrier and consequently begins to retaliate asking for even more compensations.

Toshio Okada and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto were integral idea men of the project along others in the GAiNAX board of directors, but that reality has been erased apparently.

Next year is Gurren's 10th anniversary, you should have asked if they were doing something on it. Trigger said earlier this year that they had 3 big projects coming:
>original by Yoshinari (confirmed as LWA TV)
>original by Imaishi (hint: Gurren-Lagann)
>original by secret awesome director

What if Gainax/Trigger do a collaboration with a Gurren-Lagann sequel?

Mostly because they lack financing. They opened a secondary studio in Fukushima that did some ONAs and there's Houkago no Pleiades. That show's director (sorry I forgot his name) loves drawing me has so he might have some high responsibility on Top 3 but that's just my wild guess

I don't think Gainax will work on it, or if they will than they probably couldn't tell us

Thanks for your intel, EldurAnon

They still own the Gurren-Lagann license.

I talked to a friend who attended the panel, so here's some clarification

It was not named Top wo Nerae 3 or anything Top wo Nerae

It takes place 80k years in the future
It has mechas and free diving stuff
It is in pre-production since September last year
They couldn't announce who the director or sponsor is because it's all secret for now

When we talked about owner rights he said that's not really a problem, if someone in the industry wants to make a thing you always find an arrangement, and it didn't seem to bother him for PanSto so I don't think it would on Gurren Lagan

Pleiades was good so maybe there's hope for this. I'm actually hyped.

That's not the same project they didn't talk about Top 3 at the panel, Yamaga told something about it but Mario didn't translate it.
He told me about Top 3 during the private intervie I had with him one hour before the panel

That seems like a really scummy thing to do. What the fuck.

TTGL sequel would be pointless, it cannot go beyond the hugeness of the last episodes

>make a new Nadia
No.

It's weird because Anno and Khara get along great with Trigger yet for some reason they don't want anything to do with Gainax. Trigger, however, has nothing against Gainax.

Please don't. Diebuster was good on its own but nothing like Gunbuster. I hope this isn't made.

>anime
Aria the Avennire and Mushishi S2 come to mind.

Mario is kind of meh
Eri is the best

Avvenire*

Anno didn't exactly leave on the best terms.

This. It's a miracle that Diebuster managed to not shit all over the franchise, quit while you're ahead.

pretty sure KLK was supposed to be a spiritual sequel to TTGL and we all know how that turned out

Pretty good?

I had my own translator with me and it was my first time at Connichi, so it was also my first time meeting Mario, he was really busy and I didn't get to see him much but he seemed like a nice guy (and way better than the guys we have in France)

Pretty decent in the first season.

I've went to Connichis since 2008 up until 2014, Mario a shit

What a time to be ali

>season
Cours are not seasons.

Diebuster being FLCL-lite rather than Gunbuster 2 basically mostly forgiven due to the ending and that trick won't work a second time.

who cares jung is dead already

>Diebuster being FLCL-lite rather than Gunbuster 2
I don't understand what the fuck you expected.

Not necessarily, this is set before Diebuster

What's with the absolute lack of Jung figures and doujinshi? That isn't cool, man. I hope there are more when I go to Nippon.

>Diebuster was good on its own but nothing like Gunbuster.
I want it made for this exact reason. Make it completely different from both Gunbuster and Diebuster, but still similar enough that it feels like a sequel. If it ends up shit we can always just ignore it.

Diebuster > Gunbuster

It's set inbetween the two and meant to connect them

How will they shamelessly milk the OKAERI NASAI ending again

I hope they come up with more expensive things for me to buy

> Still no decent Nono fig

Is aniplexfag a German?

I wish I had a multi-billion dollar inheritance while being an anime fag. I'd fund so much shit. Life's so not fair.

The 90s were the objective peak of the craft.

Enjoy your cgi shitshow.

I'm hype, though I probably shouldn't be.

>forgiven

yeh nah

will it flop?

Fucking hell, leave the classics alone.

>Nadia

>Top wo Nerae sequel
>Genderflipped Patlabor

Stop.

he said it right there, he expected gunbuster not FLCL.

Anno didn't even work on Diebuster, did he? That was Tsurumaki and Enokido's brainchild.

Lal'c very soon, Nono supposedly later.

ONEESAMA

Adult Lal'C figure never ;-;

Why do figures like this come out so much later than the shows themselves? Is there still any interest in diebuster from japan?

Figures are a niche market anyways. It doesn't really matter when they come out as only the diehards are going to drop that much for plastic ass.

>So in your opinion, a good story excuses an ugly artstyle?
>Diebuster
>Ugly Art style

Found the faggot!

>FLCL and Gunbuster about to be raped at the same time
