Interesting. I didn't realize Kotomi Deai was a woman. Very cool.
Rie Matsumoto is one of my favorite creators in the industry right now. Seriously love everything from her I've seen. And can hardly wait to see what project she is attached to next. She seems to have such a love for animation, which makes me very happy.
For the new poll. I picked Honey and Clover(which I always thought was josei, for some reason), mostly because, as a guy, it really resonated with me. And is one of my favorite series of all time. Several men in the series get ample screen time and go through a lot of relatable growing pains as young adult men trying to find themselves. I also just love Chika Umino's work in general, and think that it appeals to a really wide audience with its themes and style. And that artwork is gorgeous!

If this is just first hand experience from a few randoms then I think it's worth mentioning that I thought the movie was absolutely phenomenal. In fact I think it did an amazing job of cementing why Naoko Yamada is one of my favourite anime directors. It's arguably her best work yet. |
Thank you for sharing this. Out of interest, does the pacing of A Silent Voice remain consistent throughout? An abrupt ending was the only fault I could readily find with Yamada's previous film.

Weird, mine didn't get added. If I come back to the page, it's populated in the "other" text box. Usually with these polls, it gets its own radio button.
(Can anyone else see if "Arisa by Natsumi Ando" is now in the list?) |
Ah, sorry about that. I forgot to check a box. It should work now!

I believe Utsumi Hiroko has been unofficially confirmed to have left Kyoani and go freelance. I do wonder if she will take up more director positions in the future with other studios.

Oh yeah. I mean your opinion might be different than mine when you go out and see it but I thought it was really well paced.

Was that perhaps meant to say "Golden Time" instead of "K-On!"? As for Sailor Moon, "Chiaki Kon saved Sailor Moon Crystal" still sounds more like a punchline than an actual thing that happened to me, speaking as someone who had dropped Crystal after 11 episodes and whose exposure to Kon's œuvre is limited to the adaptations of GT, Higurashi and Umineko, plus episode 1 of Devils and Realist. Still, kinda makes me want to pick it back up at some point.

No, he was pretty bad. Suzaku also loses to Karen at his best so I don't get why he is up there instead of her.
Though the poll didn't ask who had the best piloting skills. Perhaps people were taking into account Lelouch's strategic skills when voting him as 'strongest'. |
Except Suzaku beat Kallen in the final battle. Why is that people still think that she won when he destroyed her mech and he needed to fake his death unless they're still salty over the outcome.

I don't even... how could you get that impression. The absolute best case for Suzaku was you could call it a tie. His machine blew up. Hers didn't. Now you could say it is a tie since neither one can keep going, but Suzaku certainly didn't win. Suzaku him self says that she 'got him'. Gino catches Karen's machine as it is falling and he says Karen won. Sure, he didn't die as a result, but if that if your criteria for winning then Karen didn't die either.

No, not really. He wasn't even a notable pilot until he got the Gawain and later the Shinkirou, both of them being remarkable Knightmares.
Gawain was of a prototype of a newer generation and the first one that could fly. It also had cannon on its shoulders and other stuff. However, Gawain needed two pilots to function properly in battle, so Lelouch needed C.C. as his co-pilot.
Shinkirou was designed to be Gawain's replacement, but was more defensively orientated. It had weaker beams, but a very strong energy shield and it was faster than the larger Gawain. Also, it had a very complicated keyboard control system, something that can be only properly piloted by Lelouch.
In comparison to Suzaku and Kallen, he could never defeat them solo.

It seems bizarre to say "I'm a Chiaki Kon fan" when Sailor Moon Crystal III was her first big title, but with one notable exception, I've consistently enjoyed everything she's directed. (And even then, I didn't hate the Umineko anime as much as some did) She really is a wizard with a low budget.
As for the poll, I chose Kimi ni Todoke, because I remember it being unusually popular with guys back when it came out, though I don't really know why.

I think it's just supposed to be Kon, since the topic is Chiaki Kon. Perhaps ANN's publishing software strikes again, changing something from what the author intended to something the software knows it can link.

Ah there we go. Thanks for finding this info! I remember seeing Japanese fans speculating on various blogs after she was seen in the credits for the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie. I'll remember this guy!

Yep hers just went offline and lost its head and cease to function. But because Suzaku machine blew up that makes Kallen the victor? Totally makes sense. And the fact that Suzaku's objective was to prevent everyone from getting to Lelouch while Kallen was aiming to kill him also doesn't click at all along with him being in an inferior machine. But Kallen won because his machine blew up (perfect alby) while hers was rendered inoperable? At this point the only people saying she won are her fans.
Gino wasn't even at the confrontation so he was as lost as everyone else and judging from the epilogue he still thinks Suzaku died in the explosion hence the line so why you're using that as "proof" I have no idea.
