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.

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.
