You guys are a little late to the punch talking about this. Also Crunchyroll beat you guys to it in announcing episode 21.

You do know this is not a race, right? This being a news website, they publish news, but that doesn't mean they have to be first, or would you rather have them not publish anything they aren't first to? Or would you rather have CR not publish anything they're not first to?
Really, many people don't care about CR's news, I for one don't, I like ANN and I'm not moving from here unless they do something horrible, but it's also true many people don't care about ANN either, but if we were missing news because of a petty reason such as "being late" we would probably mov eto another news website, so if ANN/CR/whoever publishes those news, even when they're not first, it will keep us content.

This is not a forum where people fight for the first post...

On topic now, I like how you follow up on the Animator Expo thing, but lately the articles seem to be more of an excuse just to announce the new short being published, by repeating who directed what, and who is paying up so it gets done. They somewhat feel empty...

It's good CR also covers news but CR doesn't cover everything. They also only covered the announcement of ep 20 A&B last week but not the actual post-released content, while ANN does both. And for some reason they disabled comments on their News now.

huh i was expecting more boobs considering its a remix or -- oh there it is.

dirty old man humor aside i didn't like this video as much as the original...
...
...
it was the music man the music! stop looking at me with those pitying eyes!

ah well i assume the original was ahem so 'shocking' with its graphic content as a tactic to draw attention. Now that they have it they toned it down because only people who acknowledged the first would really watch this one. I for one am unsure if theres any message in this one, as it seems he, shuu i assume was riding that bike for a long time accompanied by some new and old imagery. As i mentioned before the original's music was fluid and catchy, the remixed version of the songs didn't sit well with me but i guess thats just personal taste.

so how about anyone else. do you find some underlining meaning to the video? And did anyone actually get the english subtitles to work? Itd be a hell of a lot more interesting if i could understand the words

Yeah, the original one is better but this one isn't half bad. The original told a trippy and f'ed up story while this one is structured more like a traditional music video, with the animation pulsating to the song. The remixed music was sick though. Takes me back to my high school days (not that it was that long ago).

The description for the following video is pretty Engrishy. They're normally not that bad.

These videos never translate the songs. It's one thing if it's in the background, like with that Suda51 one, but it's another if it's a music video and it sounds like the lyrics would be important.
