If I could use Vine these are the kind of videos I would make until I got bored and deleted my account

what did you think of Amon? haven't seen it yet but it seems pretty disliked by Devilman fans, I think for not having a certain kind of touch. maybe it's still fun and well made though, not so much as a Nagai thing but as a more normal 'badass demon action' story?

Amon gets a bad rep because most people don’t understand what it is: an experimental pay-per-view anime with a troubled production history that doesn’t tie into the previous Devilman OVAs or the original manga. It was originally going to be based on the Amon: Darkside of Devilman manga but the rights weren’t successfully secured so it basically had to go off in its own direction.

It completely succeeds as a rousing, gory face punch anime.

detrocboi:

These two babies came in the mail today. Maybe the two most anticipated Japanese artbooks this year. Takeya’s The Hunter’s Angle is a big, bad, letdown, it would have been much better if the pictures hadn’t that annoying sort of instagram filter which makes most of the particulars difficult to see. Terada’s Ten, on the other hand, is a beautiful artbook, filled with LOTS of never seen before stuff but was it really necessary to print most of it in monochrome instead of the full color versions?
I’m kind of bummed.

KILL la KILL information post

I decided to compile ALL the KILL la KILL NewType into a single post so people can easily access it. First, the basic details:

-Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren-Lagann, Panty & Stocking)
-Series Composition/Script: Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren-Lagann, Oh! Edo Rocket, Kamen Rider Fourze)
-Character Designer: Sushio (One Piece Movie 6, Kittan-Zero)
-Animation Production: Trigger (INFERNO COP, Little Witch Academia)
-“High-school girls and ruthless sword-fighting action! In an academy ruled by power, a transfer student wielding a sword that looks like half-scissors brings about upheaval.”
-The academy is located in a post-apocalyptic setting inspired by the industral revolution of the Meiji Era and the Tower of Babel
-The world has special uniforms that match an individual’s talents/skills and give them special powers in accordance to their personalities. The main characters are Ryuuko, the mysterious transfer student, and Satsuki, the Student Council President. Satsuki is trying to rule the Academy with the power of her uniform but Ryuuko resists this control and fights against her. The show will be a character drama centered around both of them and the story will develop through their clashing. Nakashima promises plenty of character development.
-Confirmed 2 cour; roughly 24-26 episodes
