Although I absolutely hated the first episode, this one was hilarious and way better in comparison.

I think it was funnier when I didn't know what they were talking about
At least we see that they didn't plan on making S2 yet...

J.C. STAFF YOU---

[Ashlotte]

I always scratch my head at how J.C. can make these brilliant parody shorts from the same abysmal series they themselves cranked out earlier...Bet if they had gone with an Louise-tan series I wouldof laughed my ass off at it aswell.

Mah...Enjoyed it throughly either way. Fingers crossed they don't screw up railgun eh?

[Bordix]

Obviously better than ep 1. Seriously, Aisa needs her spotlight

I'm honestly clueless where all this J.C.Staff hate is coming from. Toradora was good. Hatsukoi was good. Hayate S2 is downright brilliant. And even Index suffered mostly from the original novels, and it was awesome in the technical execution.

In my book, J.C.Staff is currently in my top tier of studios when it comes to making proper conversions.

[Keroko]

Ironic, isn't it? A company alters novel material, they get yelled at. A company stays true to the novel material, they get yelled at.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I'd say...

1. Zero no Tsukaima <--An absolute disaster
2. Shana 2nd <--Konoe?

Index suffered in the novels too, but the anime did some rather meaningless/bad changes, like adding Index's appearance time only to remove Kanzaki's past, changing the last scene with Hyouka to the top of some building (that was hilariously dangerous), and completely ignoring two sub-boss like characters.. Though compared to the above two shows, it's nothing...

[Ashlotte]

Personally never read any of the source material on Zero, this or shana so my opinions are based squarely on something being enjoyable in its own right not how true to the material or whatever reason people come up with to dislike something.

But like S_B said I don't necessarily hate everything J.C. makes Mentar ,and I apologize if it came off like that, as I like all the ones you listed, but you have to admit that you listed as good examples aren't in the same genre as what I presume railgun is going to be.

That falls more into the category of ToAru and Shana (S1 was fine S2 was...) which makes me worried more then anything...

Best way I can phrase it is I'm enjoying Aoi Hana and look forward to more, but if you asked me about something J.C. was making in the action genre I'd get alittle more weary.

I don't think I can agree with that. Zero no Tsukaima 2 was pretty good overall, I liked it alot. ZnT3 was indeed a bit lackluster, but I suspect that alot of the blame had to be put on the source. And I had no complaints about Shana S2, with the exception of 1-2 eps at the beginning.

Railgun will primarily be action comedy. I have no real worries there. And don't worry, what you said was quite mild, nothing to object. I do disagree with a surprising number of people though when it comes to J.C.Staff conversions. Guess I do like their style (particularly, their animation style) alot.

Naah. If they manage to come up with a conversion in their latest quality like Hayate S2 or Hatsukoi, I expect Railgun to be very popular. It's MUCH better than Index, at least.

From my perspective, it's mostly a gross generalization stemming from how a couple hot properties turned out (which wasn't all the studio's fault anyway). On boards like these, there are far more viewers of fan fodder like Shana/Tsukaima than the other shows.

For what it's worth, the studio must have a stellar industry reputation to keep working on IPs like Index, Toradora!, Nodame Cantabile, and Hayate.

it was awesome in the technical execution.

Yeah, I felt there were plenty of issues with the script and pacing. However, the series was phenomenal in terms of animation, character marketing (one of J.C. Staff's strongest points, IMO), and overall direction. I don't think Shana even comes close.

Eh, I thought that was a very creative way to make a recap.

This made my day. I was laughing like a mad man here

I really should pay attention to these VA's .......... and their blogs.

[tsunade666]

I don't have that much to complain when it comes to J.C staff I like their works.. well mostly
due to animation which I think their are the best. But when it comes to the story part. They
either screw up or did a phenomenal job. I don't know on which to blame. Blame the source or
the one that's making the anime. But it all comes down to it. I still like their work. (Hoping they won't screw up) btw I hate the way they end zero no tsukaima s2. They should just end it with
saito dead.

[SirusRiddler]

What exactly are they mumbling in the purikura booth?

And is that Louise? That mysterious being with pink hair that is.

When I see J.C. Staff I'm usually confident the production should be pretty decent. They've been pretty busy nowadays.
