Trapeze - Kuuchuu Buranko

[TwEeD]

The anime adaptation of Hideo Okuda’s award winning 2004 novel will premiere in October as Fuji TV’s 17th Noitamina series.
Okuda's book featuring the psychiatrist protagonist Irabu Ichirou and his various patients.

gg has subbed this one and my god what an absolute mindfuck. Remembers me of my last fridaynight lol
Certainly a very very unique psychedelic style, the story is followable but the animation is one big mindfuck. The live-action footage drawn in is a nice touch, the scenery is completely like a LSD/ (light)DMT trip and the characters just plain weird. Seems every week is about a new patient, which I don't quite get as the anime is called trapeze (the first patient is trapezist)

My head feels dizzy now lol

For the curious, there's a bit more info on Koda's blog.

I was looking forward to this one, and it certainly didn't disappoint, though I can see the animation style being a big turn-off for the masses.

While the presentation was certainly refreshing, the first episode was rather... shallow, and so the visuals seemed weird for the sake of weirdness, while not enhancing the story in any meaningful way. Some people would certainly call it pretentious crap, and frankly they wouldn't be far from truth, if we were to judge the series by the first episode. So here's hoping that the other stories will be a bit more interesting, because it would be a shame to waste a somewhat unusual(at least for the TV anime standards) presentation on an unimpressive plot.

Enjoyed the first episode and I am wondering if they are going to have an otaku patient later in the series , would be interesting if they did. This is looking to be the best series this fall.

I just started watching this. . .
dude this thing is acid as fuck!

I cant picture watching this on <insert drug here> without screaming and tripping out!

[Monkemon]

Overall an alright series, going to re-watch this soon as I downloaded the hd version while freeleech was on.
You should not watch this on any drug but a hallucinogenic one.

[GoGeTa006]

er vitamin shots?

yes those specially. . .they tend to change you into some sort of acid-trip-colored animal

[Meomix]

If you guys say so.. Avoided this mainly because the art went haywire.

[hoahoa]

this series is definitely worth a watch if you can manage to put the artstyle aside. a couple of great episodes (mainly the other psychiatrist and the yakuza episode) and a very nice ending.

episode 8 . . .im liking it. . .

I did gave the art a "try"
since last time I did it i did not have the slightest regret (with Kaiba. . .amazing anime, weird art style). . .this time im not disappointed either.
