GENCO appreciation thread (37)

So, everybody has their favourite studio, be it Bones or Gonzo or what have you. As for me, it's Kamiyama Mangetsu-chan GENCO.

http://www.genco.co.jp/ (with some English info at http://www.genco.co.jp/eng/profile.html)

Their lineup contains some amazing shows:

  • Genshiken
  • Azumanga Daioh
  • Kino's Journeys
  • Alien 9
  • Onegai Teacher
  • Satoshi Kon's movies Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers
  • Takashi Nakamura's (who did Fantastic Children) A Tree of Palme

Of course, not all of their shows are quite that perfect (what the hell was up with Onegai Twins, anyway?), but overall their hit-to-miss ratio is pretty good, and their good shows are really good.

Your summary is non-sensical and irrelevant!

Also, nobody's hotter than Tetsujin!

Ha, I just read elsewhere someone complaining the show was starting to overuse its gay jokes...
I'm sorry, I'm not a 腐女子(yaoi fangirl).

Which is it now? I remember having downloaded the first episode, skimming through it as I needed disk space and then decided to delete it...

I just watched episode 13, and all I have to say is:

I watched Honey and Clover within a week. I found myeself tear-wet at the end! It was not a wery exciting show, but very touching. I think it was kinda dumb that we didn't get to see the Yamada vs Other girl-thing resolve.

Zettai Shounen update: Ep 22 really pushes the acceptable limits of inter-species romance!

manga is being translated at a snail-like pace by shoujomagic

ps. it's better than the anime

31 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2005-11-09 22:40 ID:xwWI1uMB

Zettai Shounen, with scriptwriting by Elf Sternberg?

I just finished watching Honey & Clover, and damn, that was worth every minute of it. The last episode was adorable.

Now I need to find someone who has both watched Honey & Clover and read Bruce Sterling's Holy Fire, so I can see if I'm just delusional when I think the one scene in episode 23 was a dead ringer for a scene from Holy Fire.

Watched all of it. Very very good series. When Takemoto forced the pair of scissors out of Morita's hand it seriously leveled up.

34 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2005-11-19 15:45 ID:Heaven

What I liked with it was how the first ending song returned on the last episode. I didn't like the second ed.

Me too. I recently started watching it again after it re-hooked me while sorting my archives. It's that good. Only now I can notice more of the background things, like the insert songs. They didn't stick with me the first time around but now I'm finding I like a lot of them.

36 Name: Random Anime Otaku 2005-12-23 12:52 ID:Heaven

It's too bad none of the insert songs live up to the one in episode 1. That was was pure brilliance, along with the animation. I watched it over and over and over again.
