It's not the director...

I didn't mind it. It was funny. But I didn't pay much attention to it, either. They may move on to something else later. At least once in a while, I kind of like this obvious way of censoring things, rather than the sneakier ways that are normal. I think it's part of Shinbou's wild style, and pretty artsy in itself.

The information about Maeda-kun comes from this page in the Japanese wiki for the anime, which is a new part of the wiki for the manga.

Thanks to a.f.k. for the sub, which made things a lot clearer for me, and made me like the show even more.

What's this I hear about a 2nd season of SZS on PukiWiki lined up for Winter 2007? Is this for real?

Hmmm I hadnt heard it for the winter season, only the spring season so far. Id actually prefer the spring season since it might get more then 12 epis but winter is also fine. Waiting on info about season 2 has left me in despair.

You can't find anymore, because they have not been subbed.

This series is 12 episodes in total.

Kona-Kona · 2007-11-11, 17:34

Im so sad....

yeah me too.

but....but why aren't they subbing the rest?

is there a problem?

Midonin · 2007-11-11, 19:51

A show like this one takes more time to sub than your average one. Rest assured a.f.k is working on it, and we'll see the rest of it.

Onizuka-GTO · 2007-11-11, 19:58

yay for a.f.k then

but i wonder which will come out first...A.F.K or baka- er bure-tsuki?

hmmm.....

a.f.k. will. According to a conversation in the #bure-tsuki irc channel that I happen to see, their main translator isnt up for "doing things twice" so when a.f.k. started it again, bure pretty much dropped it. So its a.f.k. unless someone else picks it up.

Rakuenless · 2007-11-16, 19:08

It's good to hear that a.f.k. will be subbing it after all. I'd thought they dropped it for some reason, and I was in despair because I can't find the raw of ep. 11. (It was on Saiyaman.net, but I missed it, and it has since disappeared...)

I suppose I'll just have to wait for the subbed version ^w^

Er... Hey all, by the way. *waves from first post to the forums*

ah. thanks for heads up, i don't have time to head into IRC anymore, plus they aren't very active on the wikipedia nor the forums.

*shake fist at forums*

oh well, considering B-T does have a sort of "shaky" relationship with A.F.K *coughharuhicough*

i guess its for the best......

Sayonara, Suzumiya-San: (Haruhi?!)

SinsI · 2007-11-20, 20:50

Hmm, character songs are out.
My favorite ones are Miss Universe (Kaede/Maria) and Zesshou (Itoshiki).

Midonin · 2007-11-20, 21:52

On a related note, it looks like the 2nd season page has been updated.

OP, Cast, things like that.

serenade_beta · 2007-11-20, 23:18

My opinions on character songs:

Kafuka:

Scary!
Matoi and Kiri: Average; just a different version of the original Kagerou
Kaere and Maria: Kind of like that "surprise symphony" thing by that famous composer; I liked the soft part, but then... -_-
Nami, Kaere, Kafuka, Chiri: Different version of ED; I prefer the original...
Nozomu:

Amusing song, despite the shortness.
Chiri: Meh...
Nami: Actually kind of fun to listen to, though not for repeated listens continuously
Abiru and Harumi: Not the worst, kind of okay
Zetsubou Shoujo-tachi:

Strange...
Kaere: .................................................

Mentorian · 2007-11-20, 23:23

I don't really like the character songs, though Track 09 is not that bad. I believe someone was looking for that song earlier in this thread. It was the BGM for a short clip in Episode 07, after Itoshiki Sensei cried when Kafuka bought his doujinshi. Track 10 is the BGM for the Alias parody also in Episode 07. My God, she sings so off-key. I really wish I know how to get rid the vocal while maintaining the background music.

Stumbled across these on LJ today: Some of the best AMVs (read: works of art) I've ever viewed, masterfully choreographed.

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=tzhXqJ...WA/default.jpg

First one is done to Spitz's Supika (appeared in Honey and Clover), covered by Shiina Ringo.

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=dequew...WA/default.jpg

This second one blew my mind and made me cry; slight spoilers for the opening minute of the final episode. Done to Remioromen's konayuki. Bookmark this one guy's, you'll be coming back to it, and you'll never look at Zetsubou the same again; an AMV that elevates the worth of its original, if that's even possible.
