Anime

Hidan No Aria

...

Wut?

Though it does have a monorail (That Imouto Show, Midori no Hibi) so it's not all bad.

With Ao no Exorcist, I get the feeling that the director is talented, but not as a director.  As an episode director or animation director, with someone else overseeing the project, he's probably quite good.

With Hidan no Aria, I get the impression that the director's talents lie with directing.... But he's either no good at it or has stopped caring.  Since it's (google google...) Takashi Watanabe, who previously directed all of Slayers and Shakugan no Shana and a bunch of other stuff (Lost Universe, Ikki Tousen, Stellar Buster Mito), he's clearly capable of much better work.

Very disappointing.

Pixy, I just tried uploading an image into that new "top" directory and got an error-500 "No such directory".

Also, there's a problem with the new editor. When I do a "paste", the pasted text always goes at the beginning of the window, not to where the cursor is located.

2  As to the "top" directory, never mind. All fixed.

3 Monorail in Midori no Hibi was crap, the German hanging design. Alweg forewa!

4 Slayers and LU had some pretty inconsistent directing and pacing too. Maybe it IS just that he's not good at it.

5 The problem is the source material.  This is actually better pacing than in the manga.

6 Huh.  Yeah, if the director was given a turd and told to polish it, I can see it turning out this way.

7 I just read your rant.  I've been approaching this show all wrong.  Clearly the correct way to watch it is to get completely plastered first, preferably with friends.
