I love how it's getting better and better with every episode. <3 Nanami ftw forever! And for me, personally, it'd have to be:
ED1 & ED4 (I like them both equally) > ED3 > OP1 > ED2 If ED4 was done by anyone other than kukui, I doubt I'd like it as much. (ED1 impressed me because Yousei Teikoku went a little bit out of their usual sound for a change, so it was refreshing to hear. I know most people like that song the least, however.) I just hope the future EDs continue to be of such a high quality. I like all of the songs so far, even though I have favorites!

Speaking as a viewer with no real access to the source, that was pretty mean of the animation staff to show the 'battle' as a preview.
Nanami fighting the ninjas was cool and unexpectedly cruel of her, but still, I have a feeling the other battle could have been more of an animated treat to watch. Hell, why didn't they just animate both of them at the same time for double the epicness? Hearing Shichika and his nonintentional sarcasm was annoying especially when they are ramming the fact they stole that scene from us. Then again, none of NisiOsin stuff seemed to be aimed at animation fidelity to begin with. At least this show far outdoes what Bakemonogatari did. Still, this ep dangerously came close to still-image narration a few times. I still wanted to watch the other battle.... As for whether Nanami is evil or not, I didn't think so at all until her sinister smile. She obviously knows she is vastly powerful and apparently that is her curse for suffering through life. It seems to me like she fully knows she is a freak of nature and is cursed/blessed by it. At this point, I think whether she is good or evil is besides the point. She is basically like an otherworldy creature now. |

I honestly can't think of a reason why they couldn't. That troll scene at the end was like 4 minutes. And that pointless scene where those two insects go off tangent after the Red Crystal breaks wasted another 4 mintues. That's 8 minutes. Surely they could've fit the fight scene in that amount of time.

The whole point of it was that they never intended to animate the full fight at all. It was one great big joke/troll by Nisioisin which White Fox took even further with the fake preview. It must've been worse for the novel readers since they didn't even get a preview of it before getting the fact rubbed in their faces XD.

The EP5 ending is sung by Tamura Yukari, the title is "Ai to Makoto" ("Love and Faith") - 「愛と誠」.
Yay for Yukari~n, and practically, the first character song, as it's credited to Togame. The episode won't air until May 21 though... |

Sorry, I tend to put OP1 out of habit of typing it so much. :x I know there won't be another song.
I personally liked that we got a "bogus" preview (nothing special, since the same thing was done in the books, but I didn't learn this until afterward of course). It made the episode have a bigger impact on me, I think. That and it just added to Nisioisin's kickass factor, lol.

Just watched 4. It...was...shocking. The image of the cute little sister will forever be gone. Scared the hell out of me.
And it was a super bummer about missing that fight. But I think the little sister will become more important down the line - and that's why her part was included and not the fight with the one-time guy. Or it may be a BD/DVD extra,

Whoa, I knew that. Why'd I think little sister then, lol. But yeah, the image I had is gone. She's scary.
I have no idea what they had announced, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did it. Gotta market with good extras.

But actually, I think it's worse for the anime-only base, since we actually got the preview. The novel readers in this thread were having a good time looking forward to our reactions...

Just watched ep.4, I knew something was off with the ep.3 preview and especially Sachika's sister. Those poor poor Maniwani...almost feel bad for them, hopefully their not all a joke.
Question, what's the reason for Togame's eye changing like it does?

New little trailer thingy is up. Still no sign of Koumori making a guest appearance clad in a french maid uniform. My depression deepens.

okay it will get creepy if I see Koumori in maid uniform, jumping around saying "welcome home master"
but really what's with the preview image? its kinda.....ero kawaiiiiiiiii!!! Isn't the eye changing referring to what Koumori said on the first episode? with the shine on her eyes or something connected with her ambition or revange? EDIT: after watching it, Togame really doesn't mind getting seen naked....... |
