You're looking for ghosts.
Just buy the thing in Japanese and line up your shelves with pure concentrated weaboo.

Actually now that I think of it, isn't there a French localization of it? I'm pretty sure I saw it on the shelves of my local awful bookstore.
Cheesespeak is easier to learn than jap, I can tell you that.[/QUOTE]
Where did you check the license?
[QUOTE=Kidd;51483412]Where did you check the license?[/QUOTE]
Mangaupdates quite often has them, not always accurate though.
One example is stuff that was localized by that one Singaporean company that went under (mainly because their English localizations were horrible :v:), they'll be marked as localized but good fucking luck finding them anywhere. From what I can tell they were only sold in Oceania and probably in very, very few numbers.
just rewatched the entirety of klk again (dont read this post if u havent watched klk)
ryuuko is hella shoehorned into the protag role. She doesn't actually have any goal or reason to be in half of the show but something happens and she must react to the situation to become relevant and she becomes more powerful whenever it's convenient to the plot, she doesn't train or figure anything out by herself, her power is kind of just handed to her for no reason.
then satsuki is thrown into the backseat for ryuuko to take the spotlight at the end despite [sp]them fighting together and also more importantly how hard to worked and fought throughout the series. Meanwhile ryuuko just turns up one day and becomes overpowered over night.[/sp]
don't get me started on the ~no one understands me~ arc for ryuuko where she becomes a sasuke rip off and just causes problems for everyone.
even with the rewatch i don't think i would change my score, show is entertaining enough but has problems . [sp]why does ragyou even want to cover the earth in life fibres? The if that happens the earth explodes so it's not like she'll benefit. they never explained why she does what she does[/sp]
[editline]7th December 2016[/editline]
i'll give klk credit where it's due though, when satsuki shows off her sword techniques it's really cool to watch, it's just a shame that they never show off what they could have done with the fight scenes due to the obviously limited budget.

dont go in expecting a serious anime. it's a parody
Accidentally stumbled across the German opening of Digimon Tamers and damn it's hype as fuck
even better than the original I think, though maybe that's just my nostalgia
[video=youtube;rzUpnnZj4OU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzUpnnZj4OU[/video]
But what the hell, why did they make this show so dark and spooky?
I still pretty clearly remember that last portion of the anime, with [sp]those weird D-Reapers[/sp] and whatnot, god damn that didn't give off "show for kids vibes" at all
left quite an impression on my 8 year old self

If it were a parody, which it isn't, it would still have writing filled with gaping holes.

Who watches anime....TWICE? :weeb:
[QUOTE=Reds;51489179]Ironically bad writing is indistinguishable from bad writing.[/QUOTE]
i think the pacing/direction is fine, it only shows one thing at a time and doesn't overwhelm the viewer with tons of important characters at once until we know them well and it only shows you the immediate plot. It's easy to follow so the wild pace it has is followable.
The major criticism i have is how irrelevant and poorly written Ryuuko is. Her motivation to find the truth behind her father is so irrelevant when you are shown that Satsuki has bigger ambitions but the story serves Ryuuko bits and pieces to give her a reason to exist.
I only give Ryuuko so much shit because of two reasons:
1. She's the main character so she has to drive the plot in some way however her motivations and development are poor.
2. Satsuki is shown to be a really really good character and the two [sp]could have easily become a duo but instead at the finale Ryuuko gets all the limelight because she's the ~chosen one~ while Satsuki is forced to be left behind with the other supporting characters because she isn't a special snowflake. Seriously, Ryuuko is ONLY relevant at this point because she has special powers that no one else has. She does not work for these powers, she just gets them because she's special. She doesn't even want to save the world either, she just gets forced into it because she's the ONLY ONE that can do it. Meanwhile Satsuki had to work for her power and the show just treats her like a supporting character despite how much they show of her. Ryuuko reacts to the plot and has no big ambitions but Satsuki drives the plot forward with her scheme and betrayal to her mother in order to overthrow her and free the world from COVERS. The plot only progresses past the school arc because of her.[/sp]

Key visuals for Konosuba S2 are already showing a bit of QUALITY, particularly with those cheek bumps on Kazuma/Aqua.
Someone on /a/ translated an interview with the anime's character designer and one of the animation directors from a magazine
[QUOTE]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/e69wpzX.jpg[/t]
Just saw an interview with Konosuba's anime character designer and 1 of 2 animation directors Koichi Kikuta.
>He was the First Animator for Princess Lovers and some Working, and these two apparently influenced his decision to have use a minimalist + animating design for Konosuba.
>He was hired by Studio Deen to make another series, but that production was terminated. So Deen asked him to switch to his one.
>On first glance of LN illustrations, he exclaimed "this is way too cute. No way we can animate this." So he decides to concentrate on the animation part.
>The producer only rejected his proposal once and asked him to closer follow LN's designs. Koichi Kikuta made some minor changes to the design and handed the design back.
>The original author never once complained about the design.
>Even though he is the character designer, the other animation director Komatsu Momoka (even number episodes) actually followed his original design better than himself (odd number episodes). Most agrees that his original design and by extension Komatsu's animation is much better than his eventual episodes. He hangs his hat and apologizes for being too carefree.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Dz6ajMp.jpg[/t]
>He spent _A LOT_ of time reframing the series. He redrew the entire after death scene and guild scene in episode 1.
>As the production moves on to latter episodes, he and Komatsu had less and less time going shot-by-shot (out of ~300 shots, they looked thru all 300 shots for 1st episode, 3rd for 190, 5th for 170, 7th for 140.)
>He put in 120% for episode 9. He personally modified every single shot from basic scene composition, frame, layout, to animation. Fan service gave him the all the motivation he needed.
>He designed all the succubus. No direction from the producer at all.
>He loves saggy breasts. He loved them so much that even though the original design did not contain them. He found himself drawing bigger and bigger breasts, so he subconsciously sag them to make the physics look right. He sort of regret doing this now.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/tgpuyMx.jpg[/t]
>By his own choice he added a lot of saggy breasts bouncing to a lot of scenes. For example, the producer rejected his first layout for this scene and asked him to make her hair floats more. While doing that, Kikuta said 'why the hell not' and added in boob sagging. Since the frames have to be redrawn anyway, this addition costed the production nothing.
>He also added all the hands groping, sliding, touching, body swinging the the bar scene. He added so many animations that the production have to add more animation to other scenes in the episdoe as well to make everything uniform.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Fko22Wf.jpg[/t]
>Actually he takes special pride in some of the more realistic scenes in the anime (like this scene.) This sort of thing is rarely done in anime. But everyone only cares about saggy breasts *shrug*[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][t]http://i.imgur.com/ifYKVrj.jpg[/t]
>As for facial expressions, he received no direction from the producer. The producer let him decides whatever he wants for faces, only to intervene for a few scenes when things got out of hand. The producer's direction is the funny faces should mostly be done by Kazuma and Aqua; Megumin should be mostly 'calmly cute'.
>They did NOT drew this because they ran out of budget. The faces are in the original layout for christ's sake.
>Since the lines are very simple for this character design, he put in special effort for lighting. Things like gradient in clothing, color matching, contrast, eyes reflective, have a huge effect on the overall viewers preception.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][t]http://i.imgur.com/NRDoclF.jpg[/t]
>He has learnt his lesson. He originally thought S1 design was moe enough. But he was surprised to see that the fans instead thought the characters' personality was the cutest part. For S2, he will try to make the anime 'more moe' to prove he too can make a moe anime.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]>These days, he does mostly OP/ED animation layouts
>Even though he is known for his dynamic scenes, he himself prefer static shots. When he does action scenes, he has to limit how many key frames he is allowed to use, and this bothers him a lot.
>He joined the industry after he watched FLCL.
>He likes doing layout more than animation. He doesn't think he is that good at drawing; whereas designing layouts give him much more satisfactions.
>As an animator, the creation process tends to be iterative, and gradually progresses to good. On the other hand, if he has good animators who understand his intentions, giving them both the layout and his intents often lead to great work in the first iteration. He loves it.
>It is very rare for a chief animation director to do everything like he did for episode 9.
>As mentioned, he designed all the succubi himself. He tried to make them both appeal to his taste. Originally he also wanted to make them more realisticly proportion, but after consideration, he decided to exaggerate their designs such as shrinking their shoulders length and wider pelvis (ie. bigger ass.)
>Kikuta belives the essence of animation is actually not character- it is composition. Before even starting, one should decide the camera position. After that, then one can follow up and decide how to make the characters and composition interesting.
>He also doesn't really think the animation or drawing consistencies (no shock here.) The composition is the most important. He never tried to correct any of the faces deformalities in the anime. If possible, he'd prefer to have 1 First Animator responsible for an entire series.
>The character designs are hugely influenced by Shingo Suzuki and his works "K" and "Princess Lovers". One can see the influence with he uses shadows, eg. shadow under the nose
>He is the Secondary Animator for the bath scene in episode 9. He loves drawing nude bodies; he also thinks it's easier than drawing clothed bodies.
>Finally, for S1 he didn't want to just make a garden-variety Moe anime, so he put in a lot of effort into this. As mentioned before, he will make the series more Moe in S2.[/QUOTE]

[sp]This is something that really pissed me off about klk. Satsuki was a extremely strong, driven character that had fuckloads more grit than Ryuuko ever did. When the going got tough, she got tougher, while Ryuuko lost her way ever fucking two episodes. When Satsuki eventually became the driving force of the plot in the second half, and like you said, gets completely fucking sidelined. She had strong motivations and strong characterization. It just kinda felt like a bit of a waste. [/sp]
Also how fucking dead is this thread compared to before we all got the discord?
PA Works is continuing their proud tradition of violent sameface by having the protagonist of their upcoming show Sakura Quest be Miyamori with pink hair dye.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/oRjky39.png[/t]
I honestly just never gave a shit about Ryuuko's conflict or character really. Even when it tried to delve more into her background I still couldnt really care because it felt just so run of the mill and generic. Satsuki was so much more interesting and it felt like the show kinda knew it and tried to force Ryuuko as hard as they could so that she could measure up
I dont really have a problem with Ryuukos character traits in that she doesnt really care about saving the world or anything or doesnt have any bigger ambitions, the problem with her character for me is just that its boring and just isnt really special or compelling in any way shape or form (other than her design which is pretty solid)
