Yup. for example, I don't think Hideaki Anno did the opening for Mahromatic out of a deep spiritual need.

um, *that* I'd actually disagee with. First of all, he only provided storyboard drawings, and second, if you actually take a bit to think about that OP, it's *very* different from what most anime have. Instead of just random shots from the series, it's pretty much a self-contained short that at the same time manages to evoke several classic Gainax images. So, my money is on Anno doing what he did precisely because it gave him a chance to flash his skill without committing to a major project.

As far as the t.A.T.u. anime goes (and as far as that goes, the band is perfectly acceptable Europop, no worse than a billion others), my thoughts are that it'll most likely just be a glorified trailer, a la the Daft Punk Interstella 5555 thing. Actually *I*'m much more interested in this general trend of taking Russian settings/characters as the new in thing - the Ghost in the Shell TV opening, the background of Wolf's Rain, now this...

I've seen some pictures of t.A.T.u as anime chicks before, but not in an actual anime. I just hope that this isn't a(n):

1) Barbie-like anime in which a lesson about working together is taught at the end.

2) A hentai. What would make them think that they could make a hentai anyway?

3) good movie/ series/ whatever they're doing. It would probably bring more singers or actors to start an anime movie or series.

One of these days, Miki, you're going to have to own up to the fact that Mahoromatic is Robot Panty Fetish anime just like Steel Angel Kurumi or any of the other ones out there. Slapping the Gainax label on something doesn't automatically give it depth and substance. Having seen Mahoromatic, I can say it lacks both of those things. Fans of the show seem to cling to whatever tiny scraps of substance the show occasionally throws out as absolute solid proof that it's intellectually superior to every other robot-maid-catgirl-lolicom masturbatory explosion available on DVD now, but it deserves to be lumped in along with the worst of them.

I was taught in Bible School that God hates lesbians.


[Note: I don't hate Lesbians, but what I hate is when guy get horny off them. The lesbians don't give a damn about men, they only like women.]

Laughing Rertarded pervert man here!! Theres nothing better for a freak like me than the idea of these couple of girls in anime doing kinky things. Twisted Evil

Ok, i have seen a lot of stupid fan service anime like agent aika and mahoromatic, and i had fan. But I also enjoyed evangelion, serial experiments lain and rahxephon, among another mind burning animes, so I think that this Tatu movie is sort of an interesting experiment to use the erotic qualities of anime to promote a non japanese pop duo.

Actually I get more sugar off lesbians than off straight women. Forget anything you've heard about man-hating lesbians-all the real lesbians I know like men.

And for men, the alternative to being horny is being dead. We didn't ask to be this way! I never prayed "dear God, please fill me up with hormones that will drive me insane for the rest of my life."

P. S. I was also disappointed by the lameness of Mahromatic. Not that I can't enjoy a lame anime if I've had enough refreshing beverages, but from the creator of Wings of Honneamise, I wanted so much more.

The Japanese cast their own insipid pop stars in their media all the time. So now they're just trying to cross over into larger markets. Makes sense to me.

Don't be to harsh kanna Smile. sex appeal, even if its two lesbians is mighty strong with a mans thinking Very Happy . We tend to think with the wrong head Laughing
Personally I don't care. The animation quality might be the only saving grace for this one, and that probably won't do much.

I'm possitive we can cross this one off the list.

Why couldn't they?

I don't get this. If it's good then why would it be a problem? Why hate it for the sake of hating it?

I don't think this anime will be a success in Japan. I mean, t.A.T.u. isn't that popular anymore. Their big concert was a total failure (I heard that the seats were mostly empty) and lasted for only 50 minutes after a 50-minute delay. Actually, they brought it upon themselves in their last visit to Japan, when they didn't show up for many of the scheduled music programs and stuff like that. Nobody knew if they were going to show up for their own concert Confused
