They actually are wigs. They took the same base body and added different character's hairstyles to it. The point being that most of them are indistinguishable from the other characters, but some of them are just kind of absurd looking. Well, the girls anyway.

This series doesn't have that particular problem anyway. Just the bizarre mouths, odd shading, and non-euclidean noses

I wouldn't mind faces as long as it will have Scry-ed pacing and battles, who needs SEED anyway?

Hm, director mostly does harem series, though he also did Jormungand. Script-writer mostly does moe, but the fights in Girls und Panzer turned out okay anyway. Not sure what to think here

Damnit Hylarn I was going to add those D:

Majestic Prince actually looks good.

Btw didn't that guy also do the art for Heroic Age too?

I feel like there's going to be Power Rangers jokes coming from Majestic Prince because of their suit colors.

Had Mao realy name Satan? Or it's just stupid translation of former? Anyway hope that subbers will refere him as Mao only.

Maou is often translated as something like demon lord or the devil. 'G Senjou no Maou' is translated as 'Devil on the G String' for example.

[up][up] At firt I thought it mean something like, king of magic, or wizard, but it does mean devil.

And about Aiura to Air:

" three "annoying, spirited high school girls with zero motivation" — and their classmates. Their daily life is "what happens when there is nothing happening."

I could get behind this.

Maou is literally Demon King. The world originally referred to a specific figure in Buddhism, but it's often used as a title for any great evil in myth or religion, including Satan or Lucifer. Hence it being sometimes translated as Devil or Satan.

Also, one has to be careful not to confuse Maou with Mahou (it has happened to me)...or Majou.

[up]

I know chances are I am wrong... but does ma "魔” by itself have the connotation of evil?

Eeh, I don't think so really. At least not now. Maybe when being used in the Demon sense, but definitely when used in the Magic sense.

And I think you mean Majo. Majou, with a u, doesn't mean anything.

I have terrible spelling at all the languages I try to speak. But thanks.


This year there are also the releases from the Monogatari series. Nekomonogatari I think is already airing? And I think theyll have another season out if I am not mistaken.

I suppose ANN could be wrong, but the report pretty clearly states that he's a maou named Satan

The Devil Survivor series's character designer is Suzuhito Yasuda (the illustrator for Durarara and the artist of Yozakura Quartet) rather than Atlus's own Shigenori Soejima or Kazuma Kaneko.

[up] That was for DS1. This adaptation is of DS2; Mohiro Kitoh is the designer for this one.

[up] and [down]Mohiro Kitoh designed the Septentriones (the Angel-like monsters in the preview), not the characters themselves. It's in the credits of the game and on the website that Suzuhito's still the character designer, and his style looks absolutely nothing like Kitoh's.

[up][up] Is that so? It is true that the designs are closer to Yasuda's style...

#99: Jan 2nd 2013 at 5:56:45 PM

Yeah. Suzuhito Yasuda did character designs for both games, Kazuma Kaneko did demon designs for both, and Mohiro Kitoh did Septentriones designs for the 2nd game.

He's probably the best artist for the job when it comes to eldritch abominations. His monster designs in both Naru Taru and Bokurano are some of the most unsettling shit you'll ever see, and his style is one all of his own.

As for his reputation, keep in mind that he also writes Noririn, which is a manga about the joys of bicycle riding.
