Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita: Mankind is still in decline.

(1/15) > >>

Seventh Holy Scripture:


I optimistically estimate myself as one of among perhaps seven people in the world who were looking forward to this anime series. It's based on a novel series by a guy named Romeo Tanaka, who mainly works on visual novels- those who enjoy them might have read Kana ~Imouto~, Cross Channel, or Yume Miru Kusuri, all of which he had a hand in. He's considered one of the best (if not the best) writer in that industry, and when he decided to try his hand at a novel series the results were... unique, to say the least.

Though I have it on good authority the original novels are excellent, I was a bit worried about how the anime would turn out- Seiji Kishi's most recent directorial efforts have been spotty and the other staff members have unimpressive work histories. The first episode shows promise, though. Reactions to it seem evenly divided between "Boring," "WTF did I just watch?" and "This actually has some pretty clever dark humor and social commentary."

Ain't much to discuss yet - other than headless chickens and suicidal bread - but this show is one to give a try if you haven't yet or weren't intending to. Plot summaries invariably fail to make it sound interesting, but if the GIF above doesn't pique your curiosity at all, you might be a robot. The promo video is pretty special too.

Edible:
Saw ep 1 last night, enjoyed it.

trancehime:
Ahahahaha yes, have to agree with 7hs that the original novels were good stuff; though I haven't actually gotten around to seeing the first episode yet.

I should do that though!

Tengukami:
Ah, very cool, a recommendation! I was actually planning on hitting my backlist this season because everything looked like it was full of suck and fail. The plot doesn't really jump out at me, but hell, at this point I'll give it a chance - the only series I'll be following once Mouretsu Pirates is over is Hyouka.

♛ 食蜂操祈:
this sounds positively hilarious in a dark way, and I like dark humor.
