What did i just watch? I honestly have no idea what to think.

totalnet · 2013-01-10, 21:42

I was wondering if Shaft use the changing clothes scene as the 1st ep's ED on purpose. Because it look like they were force to censor that scene with a with bar across the screen where Sasami's panty would be showing. Then in ED whole scene is shown again, this time without the white bar. Just using the credits as somewhat of a censor, but you could clearly see her wearing panty.

I didn't realize it because of the credits, but now that you point it out and rechecking, you are right.
Though I think they just forgot. It happens. Laser BETAs can be really whimsical.

Ok - that was thoroughly enjoyable! ^^

And it was a SHAFT show! I usually can't stand them ... well, we'll see where the series goes from here.

whitecloud · 2013-01-10, 23:07

sasami's headphone...wow... but it's needed if you want to hear absolutely everything...

Beyerdynamic T1 Tesla Audiofile Stereo Headphone

according to other forum one of the best headphone out there....and its expensive too.... US$1286

i dont think i will ever use headphone like these for hearing music...

This. It reminded of Tsuritama for some reason

zeniselv · 2013-01-10, 23:18

i didn't expected things to turn the way they did, but not really "surprising" for a shaft show, also its very noticeable the good animation for a shaft show, the first episode wasn't really that good, but i cannot deny that like most shaft shows it satisfies that weird part of me.

Random Wanderer · 2013-01-10, 23:23

This is madness.

Has a strange sort of appeal, though.

00Coyote · 2013-01-10, 23:34

Now this is the Shaft I've come to love, resp... wonder what exactly goes on in their series planning meetings.

First part was good, 2nd part was something else entirely, I'm not quite sure what it was, but it was something to see.

Also, convenient censorship credits.

edit
I should add, that the eclectic music through the whole thing was also really enjoyable.
edit again
Forget hacking SERN, you know you've made it when you can compile a dll to exploit Skynet. And 1984 Big Brother.

Entravity · 2013-01-10, 23:50

Not really sure what to think as well but it is interesting. Expecting more from this

andyjay729 · 2013-01-10, 23:56

I guess I haven't seen enough Shaft, but...even by their infamously avant-garde standards, this was pretty far out there. But that's a good thing...at least so far. Hope the story goes somewhere (at least a few inches), but even if it doesn't, it might be something nice to unwind with after Psycho-Pass.

Their minimalist yet distinctive artwork wins again, especially the indoor scenes. The flat watercolors reminded me of a children's book, which is obviously fitting considering Sasami's character. (I hope she doesn't ask her bro to wipe her... :P Sorry, but I have a feeling that question was going to come up sooner or later.)

Sorry if this provokes another Shaft vs. KyoAni debate, but IMHO, if KyoAni wants to go a more avant-garde route like they seem to be doing with Tamako Market, it might help the mood if they try a more avant-garde style instead of just recycling the K-On artwork.

Sol Falling · 2013-01-11, 00:40

Good shit. The action part was a bit just action for action's sake; didn't really bring forth any tension or sense of danger so any judgement that the show "has plot" will have to be put on hold. However, the humour was high tier, even though I kinda hate the self-insert, fanservicey role of the elder brother. Nonetheless, Sasami-san pulls through with sheer execution. You cannot help but be entertained.

Most importantly, the visual style and cadence of this series is sheer luxury. This is what I follow SHAFT for, man. An eyegasm. lol, I couldn't ask for anything better for the first new thing in a while from SHAFT.

Amusing really. We saw her naked earlier, after all.

Episode 1

. . . . . .

What the F@ck is this?!!!!!!!!!!!

Infinite Stratos girls goes Monogatari with Araragi covering his face all of the time?!!!

God....

Anyway.. It's the girls that interest me.... Yeah they're cute.. and that's what matters in this series....

THATS ALL!!!!

...I'll pass this and watch it...

MasterVampire · 2013-01-11, 02:40

Is this guys face going to be covered up the whole series?

Tyabann · 2013-01-11, 04:08

Chocolate.

MeoTwister5 · 2013-01-11, 05:27

What a... devoted and subservient brother.

Honestly sometimes I think Nonaka Ai has a thing for Shaft shows.

SRanger · 2013-01-11, 06:21

Tsurugi is waifu-tier.

Lukeman1884 · 2013-01-11, 07:08

I'm........................so confused. What just happened? It feels like I'm at a party and everyone else except me is smoking something. Older brother is just creepy, even more so because of the covered face.
