Will the simulcast be available outside of North America?

Probably not, so we'll have to go for the unethical.

I think you might be being hypersensitive on this one. The "pan" on the sister wasn't at all lingering, as is often the case. Rather, it was a fast-paced woosh, followed by a (non-)exchange that established the strained relationship between her and her brother. And the nighttime rendezvous? Those were setups for the gag emphasizing that there is nothing going on between the two. Yes, the animators were playing on the idea that an otaku's mind is immediately going to go somewhere dirty, but that's the whole point of the joke. At least, that's my take on it.

So what did you think of the scene where they showed an image from one of the erogames that showed an obvlously loli character sleeping beside her onii-chan with her dress hiked up so that her panties were visible? Again, I don't want to portray this as some kind of over-the-top show - it's not, at all. But the animators are having their cake and eating it too with their little "jokes" as far as I'm concerned.

Trust me, this isn't siscon. You might actually like it. I finally saw episode 1 (we had to license this site-unseen, but I read the novel sinopsii first), and it's quite amusing, and not the least bit disturbing.

I'm not press or editor in chief when it comes to this show. Zac and Egan have been instructed to take no direction from me regarding coverage of this show (see my next post).I am required to have nothing but good things to say about the show, but I'm also not going to lie about it. I'm not going to say "I like this about it" if I don't. I just won't be telling you what, if anything, I don't like.[/warning]

As I mentioned in the preview thread, that's what eroge looks like. If you're going to make an anime that revolves around such subject matter, you're probably going to have to actually depict it at some point. It's not like the animators included a shot of a little sister character @#$% her brother's @#$% while he's @#$#%$ her @#@#%. They haven't even reach Genshiken levels of naughtiness yet, which did include adult scenes (the joke there was that it was all pixelated) and characters masturbating.

Without spoilering, I'll tell you that incest is only mentioned as a joke and misunderstanding, or in relation to the games that one of the characters like (see, I'm really avoiding spoilers).
There's a surprising development at the end of book 6 (I don't think the anime will get that far (season 1 at least)), and I'm interested to see how the author handles it in book 7, but given the first 6 volumes, I'm confident we have nothing to be concerned about.

Justin's challenge is the raw quantity of content he's been posting.
We currently have two machines doing transcoding 24/7.
The simulcast, while it does present some new challenges, isn't a big addition to the wordload.

For all the people who ask about "when & where" we'll be announcing that on Wednesday.
Yes, sadly we won't be simulcasting this within 24 hours of the Japanese broadcast. We tried, but... More on that later.
For the people asking about reviews, we will not be telling our reviewers how to review this.
We may institute a policy that we don't review our own shows (in which case the reviewers are free to post reviews on their own blogs), this is still up for debate.
I'm going to expand on this in another thread shortly.

I swear once I read the news, I could hear Zac's soul die a little.
I guess technically it has a moe aesthetic, but OreImo always gave me the impression that's it is more in league with series like Haruhi or Toradora rather then series like K-on!, Lucky Star, or Working!. YES a very thin line (and I like Lucky Star, a very arguable "moe" series), but the art style always gave me the impression that story wouldn't be scarficed for the "moe" moments. Of course, there's only been 1 episode so who knows.
Anyways congrats guys! Guess that means I'll be signing up for another subcription. |
That's odd it's K-on! that you should be singling out, not Lucky Star (which is fairly straight up about being a moe show). It's barely moe at all, the most moe bit being its ED credits. Haruhi is, it's because of Haruhi that most of us started to use the word anyway; although it has parody elements it's still itself moe (as with Lucky Star).
The manga for this runs in Dengeki G's, it's moe. End of story. Tsundere, little sister, top profesional model and who (alegedly not for freudian reasons) has a little sister fetish.
It's still hilarious but there's definatly heavy moe elements. Thankfully our protagonist has no interst in his sister and I assume it's going for the comedy angle. Making sure the strict anti-otaku policeman father doesn't find out is going to see a fair bit of use, I guess.
If you want actual incest there's Yosuga no Sora

Omigod, that's so filthy! Look, this is going to be very much an individual, personal interpretation thing. I want to be very clear and not mischaracterize this show: I think it is about 95% innocent. But I do think the creators are being somewhat sly - they are clearly savvy enough that I doubt they'll ever do anything completely obvious - there will always be a plausible deniability for everything. But I think in some instances they are pandering beyond what is strictly needed given the premise of the show. Just my 2 cents.

not reallly a simulcast then lol. good stuff anyway. I've NEVER watched anything on ANN to be honest so I can't comment on the site's quality but the show itself ..based on episode 1 is pretty awesome. I just hope ANN doesn't censor anything because that's no fun. I have no doubt this show will do well so nice job getting the "simulcast"

We won't censor ANYTHING!
We were even going to post Queen's Blade uncensored, but those talks went no where.

No matter what the show, more simulcasting is always a good thing.
