It's the same voice actor as zetsubou sensei as well.
Monkemon:
Yeah I knew that, I should have mentioned it in my original post. Looking at the chart for spring 2010 the Arakawa description has that picture of a nun holding a little girl and brandishing a gun, beside him a maid, wonder when they will show up in the series. Have those three characters appeared in the manga yet?

Wait what? But FLCL made perfect sense... Sure it had some unusual storytelling and direction(which is the reason I consider it one of the best anime ever made), but the story was straightforward enough to be completely understandable. Sure some subplots might require secondary viewing to completely appreciate, since the first time you don't know that you're supposed to pay attention to them - but the main plot is simple enough to work well with the little complicated story structure and storytelling.
Just had to let it our, since people claiming FLCL "doesn't make sense" always bothered me.
Also, I'd like to mention that Bakemonogatari at first airing was already better animated then a lot of other studios' DVD releases, save for one episode. Unless you're confusing direction with animation, that is.
Okay, okay, enough of "my favorite anime is better then your favorite anime", back to topic.
Ever since I heard about Arakawa Under the Bridge being animated, I thought that it was perfect for Shaft. At least there shouldn't be any more "how dare you butcher my beloved grimdark vampire battlan manga" whiners, and Shaft does gag manga really well.
And it should weed out the rest of the people who jumped on the Shaft bandwagon after Bakemonogatari(and weren't scared off yet by DitVB), so I can go back to being elitist about being a Shinbo fanboy.
With that said, time to actually see the episode, I guess.
2 MINUTES IN EDIT: HOLY SHIT YOU BASTARDS WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME NINO IS VOICED BY MAAYA SAKAMOTO AAAAARGH SHINBO DIRECTING + MAAYA SAKAMOTO = ANIME OF THE YEAR, ALL YEARS

Absolutely. If you ask me, that is kind of the whole point.

Yep, this isn't the first time I've heard this. Of course, I'm hoping the same thing, myself. It just doesn't seem right for SHAFT to be popular. The experimental cutting edge is supposed to alienate the masses, after all.

I thought SHAFT was always pretty popular, at least within my circle of friends.
