Yojou-han Shinwa Taikei: Maasaki Yuasa does noitamina!
Nodame's follow-up has been announced, and it's going to be directed by the Maasaki Yuasa! Yojou-han Shinwa Taikei will be an adaptation of the Tomihiko Morimi novel of the same name. Character design will be by Yusuke Nakamura, who does the cover art for the Asian Kung-Fu Generation CDs.

Does that mean I won't have to fear plotting incoherency?
Still, very excited just because a badly done Yuasa show is still heck a lot better than the tons of drivel we've had the previous seasons. |

Maasaki Yuasa + Noitamina = must watch. Sadly it's probably true that almost nobody will watch it.
|
With deigns like that it'll be miracle if i do watch it. Noein was the limit on how badly they could sacrifice art stability.
|
Though never was into Nodame , this caught my interest . Mainly due to its niche art work (Reminded of XXXHOLiC) and slice of life settings . Will give this a try and see if it is to my liking : )

Maaya Sakamoto? Yet another reason to watch this. |
I must say the way they presented the trailer with the use of AR markers at the press conference was pretty cool. :heh: Link for those interested (starts from 4:00).
|
Must see easily.
I couldn't deal with Kaiba, Yuuasa's art house tendencies ran rampant with that one. Still Kemonozume and MindGame I love because despite all the craziness, the shows are grounded with real genuine emotion. I expect this for this show given that it's about kids in college. His visual stylings need no introduction. Can't wait. |

The problem I see here is that the writer is Uezu Makoto (School Days, etc.). I just hope that the original novel is better than Uezu and more grounded than Kaiba. I take Yuuasa seriously. I just haven't been able to get through to anything genuinely human. I admit it may be my fault. I hope this is when I get it. Excellent cast. And I'm happy it's set in Kyoto. |
New Yojou-han PV is posted on the noitamina website
http://noitamina.tv/ Looks pretty good. Can't wait til this airs. |

Yup, after the first trailer I wasn't so sure, but this second one is really the Yuasa-brand of awesome; particularly liked the scene with the fireworks, vibrant and full of life. Also, really excited about the fact I have absolutely no idea where this series is going to go.
|
I agree. The first trailer cut too much up to get a sense of how the actual show would come across. In a word the intense visuals looked "garish". This new trailer, by using more extended sequences, gives a much better sense of what the real viewing experience will be like. Still intense, but I can imagine making sense of it, and enjoying it. I really liked Mind Game, so I'm on for this one.

Like House of Five Leaves, Youjo-han has been licensed for streaming by Funimation and will appear on its site. The first simulcast will appear a week from today.
I wonder if this represents some sort of commitment to Noitamina by Funi or just a one-off deal. Most Noitamina shows remain unavailable and largely unknown in R1 because few of them have gotten licensed. I find it remarkable that successful franchises like Nodame or shows like Mononoke which had strong Japanese DVD sales never appeared in R1. Will Funi simulcast the live-action Moyashimon that is coming up this summer? They've shown more interest in licensing J- and K- dramas recently. |
