#1) We know exactly as much about it as any other original production at this stage. The story premise, the characters, the studio, all the staff. I'm not sure what else you expect. #2) It probably was unfinished if there was a screening "a while back". Which is fine. Most anime is produced very last minute. Just the fact that they were able to do an advanced screening means this is the antithesis of rushed. |

True but unlike other original productions,this one didn't release a trailer with animation in it.That can be for three reasons: 1)There isnt enough material to make that short PV.This is most likely false,since we know they have already animated ep 1. 2)There is some twist early on,however they already screened ep 1 which removes that option.There is still possibility that they told audience not to talk about the twist in show,but that theory seems very unlikely. 3)They dont have enough time to make this short PV.Well its not like there is a lot effort put into creation of those trailers,however if your scheduling is really horrible people involved might not even care about it.
It screened on September 28 so its not like it was a while back.Keep in mind that Galilei Donna screened on the same day and that people complimented it for its good animation,nobody was saying how it was unfinished.So yeah I would say that there a lot things to be concerned about when it comes to Samurai Flamenco. |

Look, I could at least sorta see where you're coming from if we'd seen no footage period. But again, they've already shown the entire first episode. The idea that a show cobbling together 15 seconds of polished footage means everything is okay and yet a show showing a full 22 minutes (even if it looks a little unfinished) is cause for concern is just absurd. The latter is unquestionably more impressive and indicative that things are well on track.
And maybe it's not unfinished. Good for them. They're way, way ahead if that's true. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with this production though. The bottom line is, dozens of shows air every season without ever really doing any of the stuff you're mentioning. And that's because this is simply how the industry works. Shows are made pretty much on a weekly basis and completed only shortly before they air. Yet somehow because there was a sneak preview you're gonna convince yourself there is a problem. It's nonsense. I don't know why you people are so desperate to find some reason to wring your hands about this show but you're grasping at straws. |

Actually no ,having a finished episode 12 days before its premiere isn't rare miracle but a norm.Meganebu,Kill la Kill and Yozakura Quartet were all screened on the same day as this anime and again nobody was saying how they were unfinished.Also I have to wonder why dont they show us the PV?Almost very anime in my memory that didn't show its PV before it aired had a lot production issues.Heck they didn't even give ANN colored character designs.Perhaps I am being a bit too paranoid here but I cant really be optimistic about this shows production. |

I just have to ask, what is with these titles? XD

If you're just noticing now the trend in light novels and their adaptations having ridiculously long titles, you must have been away from the anime scene for a while. Welcome back!
Joking aside, this reminds me of the bands in Tad Williams' Otherland series that all had names like How Can I Love You If You Won't Stay In Your Hole? (abbreviated as HCILYIYWSIYH). I'm not sure where or when this trend started; I like my light novel series to have short names, like Baccano! or The Guin Saga.

You can add "Crunchyroll" to the streaming sites for "Strike the Blood".

The two best shows this season - Kyousogiga and Yozakura Quartet (EDIT: I take that back. Yozakura Quartet turned out to be not really that great.) - are missing from this list. ANN, how could you?
This kind of thing already happened in Spring 2013 when OreGairu was missing. Is there any particular reason why some titles are not included? Last edited by Ignatz on Tue Jan 07, 2014 2:52 pm; edited 3 times in total |

'Koroshiya-san: The Hired Gun' and 'Tesagure! Bukatsumono' aren't on the list either. I think ANN doesn't list the series that aren't streamed online. |

Surprised that the summary for Log Horizon has been wrong since the spotlight came up.

I scrolled the article up & down reading briefly the synopsis. 80% of the stuff is either schoolgirls, moe & pretty boys. Right from the bat I do respect other people's tastes whether be it animes or anything else. But having a whole season centered at otakus & teens bother me. See I'm 24, I want mature themed animes focused to an adult public, we deserve our fair share too!!! I've nothing against otaku centered material but it's getting old and absolutly parasites the creative space that there used to be back in the 90's(OVA market) and 00-07's(TV series) And reading your statements "not true" it may seem like I've missed a great deal of quality,profound & diverse recent productions . My question is Where ? Where dude ? I will never say that everything is crap yet aside from Psycho Pass; Attack on Titan & the GITS Arise OVA(which I'm gonna see in theater) & a few others that came out post 2007 crisis, the anime medium shrank dramatically It's interesting to try to correlate macroeconomics with the state of the anime industry, like the veteran Kikaioh analysed before:
Very sharp analytical view and I would only add that a rise in anime quality/diversity between 2000-2007(excluding the 2001 dotcom bubble which touched mostly the USA I believe) TV series like GITS: Stand Alone Complex 1st & 2nd GIG; Samourai Champloo; Wolf's Rain; Noir: Black Lagoon; Texhnolyze; Ninja Scroll TV serie; Elfen Lied; School Days...Thick VARIETY!!! This is where penguintruth was sadly(because I can't condone insults)right when he said that anime had looked alike these past few years.... |

Uhh...are you aware of the age range that late-night Otaku anime targets? Because you are right smack-dab in the middle of it. (also lol 24) |
