It was just my way of saying somehow should higher them again, for Chihayafuru s2 for example. The point about the director is moot because Madhouse has the contacts to hire those needed if they get an interesting project. Also what Unleashing said. I think it would be cool though if they could make a unique original again, preferable something sci-fi. I fear those times are over though. That statement of yours pops up another question for me though: What studio does reliably make good shows these day? I figured it was always depended on the staff they put to work, hired or not... some how I missed that you were talking about a sequel of another show that madhouse did. mb well, the thing is any studio could hire a good director if they wanted provided that the budget provided to them is big enough. I don't put that as a plus for madhouse. For good shows in the technical sense, I think A-1, Bones, and kyoani are the most consistent. | ||

The final battle against An incarnate of the radious was the best fighting scene in all of Sao. Very fast and epic. Also the fighting scenes all come with epic Yuki Kajiura music. The plot is cute and has a lot of kirito and asuna moments but it's pretty much a rehash of the aincrad arc except with another game and dealing with memories instead of death. If only for the action and music, I'd say it's good enough even for people who don't like or are neutral about sao. some how I missed that you were talking about a sequel of another show that madhouse did. mb well, the thing is any studio could hire a good director if they wanted provided that the budget provided to them is big enough.

I read what I wrote again and came to the conclusion that I must have been high. "It was just my way of saying somehow should higher them again, for Chihayafuru s2 for example." Yeah right, wtf did I just read? lol I think Madhouse is one of the studios I trust the most with faithful adaptions. Probably because of their track record. If an adaption they did was shit it was most likely because the source was already shit. If a source was good, the adaption was just as good in most cases. Madhouse adaptions tend to be faithful, next to no original stuff, no extra flair (hi Shaft), just solid panel by panel. A lot of that might have changed over the past few years because Mappa happened, a lot of their skilled staff went elsewhere etc. The reason why Madhouse adaptions tended to be faithful might have been due to the fact that their in house staff was very talented and held the same standards in regards of how to make an adaption. I don't know man, I'm confused. : / It's really weird, these days I really don't know what studio I want to see for certain adaptions/sequels (Kino no Tabi for example). It has always been about the directors but these days directors seem to be less bound to certain studios than they used to be. I only know which studios I don't want to see. For example Shaft or J.C. Staff for Kino no Tabi s2 as some people on MAL have suggested... | ||

Kyoani are def most consistent but A-1 when they really try blow me away. Bones is similar but a bit too inconsistent. | ||

I usually want the studio to improvise and try and improve the source along with the author's consent to the changes.

Bones is similar but a bit too inconsistent. idk about KyoAni. They're really hit or miss for me. From a visual pov they're obviously always great, I can't think of anything that they screwed up in that regard but since they're such a big name they get away with everything and are probably singlehandedly the studio that butchers sources the most. That can be fine if they pull off something great or if they're straight up doing something anime original but it can also backfire hard and annoy people. And while I don't like the usual "omg, why didn't you just do it like in the source" since it's fairly obvious that an adaptation is going to need cuts and changes, KyoAni really takes the cake for just yolo'ing some series that has absolutely nothing to do with the original besides the name. That's why I'm such a Shaft fanboy myself, they almost ended up bankrupt, Bakemonogatari was basicly their last attempt to make something that gets them money (supposedly), they just followed the script 1:1 and it lead to massive success. Ever since I feel like they're just following the source really sternly with about everything they do since it worked so great in the past for them. Take 3gatsu as a (slightly negative) example: I've heard from many people that they don't like how much Shaft is following the manga even in the visual direction since all those comedic reactions etc. work pretty well in manga panels but they do seem a bit out of place in the anime. But I'd rather have that than the other way around myself. ///SPEAKING OF MAHOUKA: The official website for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Movie: Hoshi wo Yobu Shoujo has announced additional cast members.

Uh, a lot of the staff went to MAPPA. They didn't take a nosedive because there is still more than enough people at Madhouse and they got nice contacts. | ||

I wanted her to be taketatsu because it sounded like it'd be hilarious. Alas, she was voiced by Yoko hikasa in the game so I'm not surprised by it. I am hyped to see Lina finally animated though. | ||

"Piracy is a service problem" -Gabe Newell This is as relevant as always Full quote, which oddly enough applies incredibly well to anime in general and especially to crunchyroll's shitty service: + Show Spoiler + "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy," Newell said. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country three months after the U.S. release and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. | ||

But basically Slaughter dislikes how incompetent USNA/how novice Lina was in combat this arc, which I don't really disagree but overall, Mahouka arcs got better and better and plateaued after Visitor. Double Seven and Steeplechase were pretty garbo in terms of plot. | ||
