Thanks Majek. The manga version seems to be better in portraying the stereotypes a more ridiculous style. The anime version is still too moe.

The manga version of Yamazaki's vision of Satou's ultimate moe character is both scary (the drooling, the unfocused eyes and the waving of the.. whatever that is) and funny at the same time.

I prefer the anime version. The fox tail looks kinda interesting.

btw I want to ask you guys one thing about the company names that I saw. Seems like some names are quite hard to make a guess.

Kitachi = Hitachi
Parasonic = Panasonic
Teshiba= Toshiba
Conita= Konika

I think that's all I could guess out .some more ?

Truth-kun · 2006-08-06, 11:02

The animation is starting to improve at this point. At first it was very disappointing, but thinking this is more of an "art" anime, I could forgive the horrid animation.

The story is getting really interesting, haha. I'm wondering what Satou-kun would pull off next, especially that his senpai has returned. First love never dies, I guess

Could that be Mitsubishi? sorry my knowledge of Japanese pop culture is limited.

Sanyo, Mitsubishi,Sharp ... everything you can see in rl can be seen in the anime, with different spelling for everything.

Mabye sometime in the future they'll realise that they can make cash with real advertisments in anime as well and we'll get to see real names. They do it in games so i guess putting it in anime isn't so far fetched

Im gonna take a guess and say NOC is NEC.

Itachikun · 2006-08-06, 12:20

Nation = National?

Could be.... love the series, still some classic stuff, love the whole modern day theme, it seems thats whats most popular lately.

Episode 4 was extremely enjoyable in spite of the animation.

Sure, it looked low-budget, but maybe wao can confirm if one of the Noein animators or Studio 4C people directed this episode. Because, as far as animation technique goes, it's insane!

Regardless, the actual dialogue and direction is topnotch as always.

What I can get: Sanyo, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toshiba, Konica, National, Sharp, Mitsubishi...

As for animation, well, episode 4's animation director (and the first key animator which implies he did the most animation work) is a young animator from J.C. Staff called Shingo Natsume, he seems to be following the style of Masashi Ishihama and Tetsuya Takeuchi (the latter is an ex-J.C. dude, is behind this anime's OP and Speed Grapher chara design and OP; the other is a current J.C. dude who is Really Awesome and key-animated the whole of Honey and Clover ep 7) . It's obvious he is more concerned with getting the general poses in relation to the entire picture, than the details like highlights and outlines everywhere.

Personally I like his style of drawings very much, way over the one in episode 2 and 3. It looks a lot more happy and loose and yet not utterly shit (except for maybe 1 or 2 very small scenes). YMMV of course, most people hate it; but I really like the jaunty lines and the shadows.

Of course I think anyone can agree that it *is* rushed, because a number of drawings seem to have been outlined in a hurry and there isn't very much in-between animation. These Korean companies... you can put 20-30 people to work and still have no movement. -_-

I have to admire the way Yamazaki carries that moe-pillow around. I'd be too embarassed. Then again, I suppose that wouldn't look too out of place in Akihabara.

i agree...walking in the streets with a giant pillow that illistrates you like anime is way embarrasing (ppl think you are some kind of wierdo >.<)...the only place i would feel natural carrying that is in japan (where most ppl are used to the anime drug anyway

)

Self consciousness, that's how some people become hikikomoris, no?

I kept thinking Satou looked like someone, and then I placed it.

lol I thought the video quality wasn't that good, but it couldn't possibly be that bad

Quite funny how Satou looks so much like Dale Gribble though.
