Arakawa Under the Bridge
kenshin-dono:
new anime: Arakawa Under the Bridge
AniDB link
* Based on a seinen gag manga by Nakamura Hikaru serialised in Young GanGan.
"A young upperclass elite man, Ichinomiya "Riku" Kou, who has a policy of not being in debt to anyone, ends up owing his life to a strange girl who rescues him. Nino is a beautiful homeless girl who believes that she is a martian and lives under the bridge by the Arakawa river. So the young man ends up living there too. "
anyone heard anything about this show? I read the manga a few weeks back and found it rather amusing. Unfortunately i could only find about 4 chapters translated. The premise is kinda amusing and it seems quite wacky. Does anyone know if its been translated past chapter 4 at all?
Unfortunatly it seems Shaft is picking it up, specifically that hack Shinbou. After the ultra ameture hour he pulled with Bakemonogatari i just cant stant him/Shaft. They seem so utterly lazy and cheap.
Still, i'll probably give it a look when it comes out, though my anticipation was quenched significantly hearing Shinbou picked it up. Now i expect random unnecessary close ups of eyeballs to save animation. Maybe well get pointless live action shots and blank screens too! yay. Im curious to take a look if everything also has that shiny cheap look to it too when the preview comes out
Lupin:

DVD & BD sales would like to have a word with you.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the series mentioned.
newy:
I will watch because I like SHAFT. Their productions stand out from the rest of the industry. But I won't watch it with the enthusiasm I had when I first watched BMG and VB. I guess, anyone knows why ;)
Small question at the sidelines: Back in the days when the ef series were airing, were they chopped as well?
manganime02:
Wait a min, the image on AniDB looks completely different from when I first heard about this series where one of the characters looked like he was out from BoBoBo-Bo with a star as a head ???
