As a fan, this is extremely accurate.

Pretty obvious but still upset about it, since it became one of my favourite manga.

>>30826
Haven't read the manga, but that is one anime I will never watch unless I get paid at least $10 per episode.

I think Aku no Hana's rotoscoping is better than the rotoscoping in the new Berserk series.

That image is also taken from early on, I think they started spending the budget a lot more in the later episodes. The production quality does increase throughout the series.

I know most people are just going to shit on it here (and to some extent rightfully so) but it was at least "interesting" and they tried something different.

I'm a huge fan of Oshimi Shuzo though so I'm biased. He writes extremely compelling stories.

I'd say I'm less embittered by the rotoscoping and more about how they just crammed an entire story arc into episode 12 and ended the series off that.

I think it sold 200 units or something. Some astronomically low number like that.

Are you afraid of paragraphs or something?

>>30857
They terrify me!

>>30869
Hehehe good answer.

At least the classroom meltdown scene was beautifully made indeed, and all the scenery porn was just awesome. But, as another huge fan of Oshimi's work, I found criminal not to incorporate his gorgeous drawing style as well, which was at its peak by the midpart of Aku No Hana and consistently high during Hyoryu Net Cafe. Especially the psychedelia of his mind states' portrayal fell flat, when limited to that rigid rotoscoping of a blunt live action series (which is what it should have been frontaly presented as, to begin with).

They could still rotoscope it in a stylish but fairest way, as in Tatami Galaxy, Animatrix or whatnot. But they didn't and, in turn, unfairly stigmatized the series beyond belief.

I watched a season and thought this was a biased exaggeration. Then I watched some more and found it was completely accurate.

Thankfully doesn't last 91 episodes.

Cute nevertheless.

More like pic related. I think FSN2006 is more or less equal to UBW. I don't see why the latter is regarded to some sort of masterpiece.

>>31090
masterpiece? All I hear is complaints from people about how disappointing UBW was.

>>31092
This is especially true of the OVA where they battled anzio, they did some crazy shit with those tanks.

Pointless "sequel".

Terrible anime.

>>31172
Yeah I really couldn't care less about any of the side characters. Slave girl turned photographer was the worst.

>>30884
Watching it now. Can relate.

This is 100% accurate.

Next sequel will be about a SoL romance about Sakura finding love and having children, brought to you by Abe.

I feel bad for its fans who got royally shafted by Toei, who used all that incoming money to properly animate literally all their other series yet made DBS look like a pile of garbage.

>Abe
its ABe motherfucker

I'm talking about Shinzō Abe, the prime minister of Japan for the last 6 years, you pretentious moron. The running joke is that Abe gives money to anime studios to stealthily push pro-procreation and pro-family elements to increase birth rates.

I'm going to run out of these soon.

Some of these are amusing. Thanks, people.

Pretty much.
