Actually, I'm not from America and that's why I don't really care about licensing status there. But fansubbers don't like this problems and that's why chances to see a good fansub are a little above zero.

Jiyuu · 2009-03-27, 21:53

no need for real sub anyway. all it takes is ripping the subtitle track from those ripped from crunchy and a raw. so anyone can do it anyway, in most cases it gets done by some anons in around 24-48 hours anyway.

i'm actually having trouble deciding what to do. in the past i jast watched BOSTs realeases which were fine.
but with crunchy i ofthen find myself downloading the rips cause it looks like shit in the flash player. and then i'm not even sure if i should support them. after all they are not really releasing a product i'm satisfied with.
really troublesome.

Actually, FUNimation may also be involved since they have a deal with GONZO now. It will be interesting to see which titles also get the simultaneous streams on FUNi's websites.

New Megami is out, but no posters from this show. Nuts.

Haohmaru · 2009-03-28, 09:44

No posters and no commercials or anything. What the hell is going on here

Well if it's not good, I'd expect that they wouldn't want advance notice leaking. Speaking of leaks, no one that went to the preview has said anything yet?

Or they could be behind schedule. Saki's CG laden PV prob took some time.

stormy001_M1A2 · 2009-03-28, 12:15

I believe the some pics are permissible leaks so far. GONZO so far is very tight lipped about this to create excitment or they simply have no money for PR campaign for Shangri-La. Afterall, they just went bust and right now in midst of restructuring so this anime is a victim of the problems afflicting the company right now.

Liner notes for Shangri-la single is out since 27/3~

Spoiler for Liner Notes-Untranslated due to laziness:

As everyone has known, Single will be out at 6/5

No, it's bad because unless FUNimation, again breaks the rules made to protect them, they will bar all non-American IPs and the probability to get english subs will drop to zero. But on the other hand, since it's a GONZO show no harm done

I don't think it'll be that bad. Shangri-La looks to be Gonzo's most epic anime in a while. Plus since I recently watched Last Exile and enjoyed it, the same character designer (Murata Range) will be more than welcome in this show. This, along with Strike Witches, could very well sweep Gonzo out of their self-dug ditch.

I think GONZO are clearly trying to evoke memories of Last Exile by using the same character designer.

Buuuuut realistically, what difference does that make to the show's actual quality? It's all down to the source material, the writer, the actors, the animators etc. - we so rarely see truly hideous character designs that they never really have much of an impact on the show itself. The only other key staff member who worked on Last Exile is the sound director, which at least suggests the acting will be half decent (I very much enjoyed a lot of the performances in LE).

I don't think these are all necessarily bad things - I think Hiroshi Ohnogi's an excellent screenwriter, and I don't have a problem with Makoto Bessho as director - but there's no real reason to link the two shows despite GONZO's intent.

(besides, who apart from otaku will even remember Last Exile exists? It's a pretty minor footnote in anime history now)

Hmm, Hitomi Kuroishi is doing musicks for this show, and she was/is part of Dolce Triade who did LAST EXILE musicks.

kyouray · 2009-03-31, 07:42

A trailer is available !

Blue-kun · 2009-03-31, 08:28

About time we got a trailer.

Anyway, impressions: Animation is looking very nice, smooth and all. On the other hand, I can't help but feel skeptical about it since it IS Gonzo we're talking about, so chances are quality will go down the hole pretty fast. Well, maybe it's just me worrying too much, so here's hoping.

As for the song, I guess it's your typical May'n stuff, which may or may not please some people. As for me, personally, I think it'll work just fine and if the OP montage is cool I'm sure I'll dig it even more.

well, just a few days left now. Looking forward to it.

Westlo · 2009-03-31, 08:32

Oh nice, animation looks to be very good but considering it's a 15 sec cm it should lol... liking the sound of the May'n OP as well.

E_I · 2009-03-31, 09:44

Who knew a boomerang could destroy a tank?

stormy001_M1A2 · 2009-03-31, 09:55

What kinda tank are those? Made in China?

aardvark · 2009-03-31, 10:11

So, the entire OP sequence leaked due to a fuckup with the website

There is a lot of really Rubbish CG backgrounds. Song is lame too (then I again I hated this singer in Macross F).

Hmm... those aren't Main Battle Tanks. If you look closely, they've got eight wheels and no treads, and I thought the turret was a bit high the first time I watched it. Seems more like an infantry fighting vehicle.
Possibly a mashup of the M2 Bradley and the Stryker. But it also has a bigger main gun.

Also the boomerang may be a guided projectile made of some really tough modern material. (I'm thinking carbon nanotubes?)
