Just what I was waiting for !glad to know

Joly · 2011-07-21, 00:51

Here's the opening!

The characters look very cute... but they sure got lazy with that opening.

WarriorKK · 2011-07-21, 01:20

I wonder if this OP has different versions in each episode...

Man, I've seen .swf files with more animation. Half the OP looked like a string of looped .gif's. But hey, Deen probably has some ... more ... interesting ... projects ... to ... work ... on. Oh who am I kidding!?!?!

Also, I don't recall there being an endless field of sunflowers in Hinamizawa or the Gifu mountains.

Eh, we just needs some subs to see how funny this arc is, or whether Deen has even lowered their trolling standards.

rika and satako look like turkey heads or something in begining lol and when shion and mion are walking...they look like chickens walking lol....animation doesnt seem that great as kai

Joly · 2011-07-21, 02:43

Also, here is another image promoting (or this is the actual cover. I don't know.) the Nipa Nipa Ondo single. It will also include TV size versions of Happy! Lucky! Dochy! and 100% Magical Star. (It sounds like they WILL have different opening themes...?)

Ah that's good new then.

Edit: Wow is it just me or has the art worsened going from Rei to Kira? And another thing, Hanyuu now has a body again? I know Rei didn't exactly follow the main story line but that is just inconsistent. Either that this OVA comes right after Kai or it's just Another one of DEEN's many mistakes.

I haven't found a video of the ED song floating around yet.

I actually like the art much, much more compared to Rei. Even if Kira's proportions seem a bit wonky sometimes. But that's just me...

I don't think it's a mistake. The OVA doesn't really follow the main story and it's probably best not try to place these episodes somewhere in the main timeline. (The first episode is just some fanservice, fun, humorous episode after all. I don't think it's even supposed to make any sense.

)

Also, I believe Hanyuu has been shown to be able to switch from physical form to transparent at one point during the Matsuribayashi-hen VN (while speaking Oishi and Co.)

And here's the YouTube link of the Magical Girl Oyashiro Rika PV:

CrimsonSunshine · 2011-07-21, 05:43

The head bobbing made me laugh out loud.
Studio DEEN is either really good at trolling or just really bad at animating.
Uh, on second thought, it's probably a bit of both.
Pffft.

WarriorKK · 2011-07-21, 08:26

The Ending is up.

Am I the only one in thinking that the second PV looks and feels better than the OP?

This. Why can't DEEN put a little bit of budget in what they do, for a change? Man... I can't believe they aren't broke yet. What the hell does keep them afloat...?

Keeping costs low may be part of it.

A studio loses money only if it spends more on production than it receives from the sponsors. Generally, production studios do animate at a loss, but if they've acquired a stake in the show and score a big hit, they can recoup losses and profit (some aren't so lucky and die over the long run. Group TAC is an example).

Studio DEEN rarely invests in a production, so it's in their best interests to keep costs as low as possible (i.e. even if the product is a big hit, they have no entitlement to royalties), else they'll bleed to death in time. As long as people keep contracting their services and they ensure that expenses rarely exceed commission fees, they can stay afloat indefinitely.

rogerpepitone · 2011-07-21, 14:26

So the question should be rephrased as "Why isn't whoever is sponsoring the series putting more budget into it?". (Low budget in a TV series is understandable, but I do expect more from an OVA.)

According to WinD they said they'd be doing it if they can find someone who is willing to. And of course, it always get subbed sooner or later.

battle22 · 2011-07-21, 14:44

are there any news regarding other kira episodes?
will all the episodes be happy and comedy or serious ?

By the way, are there any news about the other OVAs? I knew the second one had to do with mahou shoujo, but I haven't heard anything yet about the third or the fourth.

Ithekro · 2011-07-21, 15:07

Makes one wonder just how many magical girls Yukari Tamura has played over the years. Even if just in cameos or bit sections for one of her other characters.
