Insert Foot into Mouth, or TAF News
So, Clannad is indeed getting its sequel with the After Story being animated. Never doubt the power of fanboys and Kyoani. The format for the After Story is unknown right now, but a twelve to thirteen episode season is most likely. I enjoyed Clannad enough and everybody does say After Story is the best part, so I’ll have to check it out. What I’m wondering now is, when the hell is Kyoani going to do Haruhi 2? Was that ever confirmed for summer?
The Gurren-Lagann movie will be in September. Having just finished watching DVD episode 27 - no ghosting makes for fuckawesome animation - I’m very excited about this. Still no idea what the plot is. Could be sidestory, alternate universe, lovelove highschool romance, or all three knowing Gainax.
Madhouse will be doing a remake of the seventies series Casshern. I’m really starting to like Madhouse as a studio and am hoping they can reinvent Casshern into something incredibly badass, much like Bones’s reinvention of Skull Man.
Speaking of Bones, they unveiled their new mecha series, Bounen no Xamdou. Getting some very big Eureka 7 vibes here, along with some King Gainer vibes. I could never actually watch Eureka 7, started too slow and Renton is an annoying protagonist, but I’ll keep an eye on this when it comes out.
There was other TAF news today that isn’t relevant to my interests, so check out Moetron for more complete coverage.
Hope the Casshern anime is better than the film. Was really confused the whole time while watching the film.

[...] So I guess they’re animating the after story (in case you haven’t already heard it through the grapevine…geezus people how many of you posted about it?)…hopefully it’ll be good and have less starfish hoes and cockblocking/bitchfights. (See now the anime only viewers of Clannad think Tomoyo and Kyou have some sort of bitch rivalry going on when they had really nothing to do with each other in the game ) I guess the final episode is coming in July as a DVD special….at least until they give us more info on when After Story is getting released.

The Clannad visual novel is by far the best. I couldn’t stand the Clannad anime in the end (I was just bored) nor will I watch this After Story which is just another merchandise thing of KyoAni (where are the great shows like Haruhi or Full Metal Panic TSR??>.

Recently they are milking stuff hard, to think of crappy season two of ZnT and SnH. Missing some really good shows. Spice and Wolf was quite enjoyable though. And of course Aria which I treasure.
As for the other stuff, Casshern looks very promissing, will definitely give it a try. Dunno why but this screen of it somehow reminds me of Eureka 7 O_o
