[QUOTE]Well considering nobody has talked about the Trigger Panel at Animazement, I figure Iâll write out some quick points-
-At the current time, theyâre not planning on using Kickstarter again
-They have ideas for Inferno Cop 2 but no budget for it
-For KLK, Imaishi would bring in action figures and that would be a point of inspiration. Like Iron Man for example.
Oh and this was the best part:
Yoshinari described Imaishiâs directing style as skanky and perverted while he aspires to be a gentleman.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Some other stuff:
-CGI in Episode 3 of KLK wasnât due to time or budget restrictions but rather the complex camera angles they wanted to use.
-Kaneko was saying that he ran into some conflicts with Sushio. Apparently Sushio is âto the pointâ or something, in that the way it was translated made it sound like he was either demanding or strict. Same with Imaishi.
-Kaneko oversaw the outsourcing of the background art for KLK in that he seemingly hand-picked the animators. I canât remember how many but I think it was between 10-20.
-Kaneko listened to rock music (Linkin Park, Chemical Brothers) while doing the background stuff for KLK
-Kaneko used watercolors and brushes for the live demonstration. Imaishi (in production) wanted to see the brush strokes in the art.
-Kaneko worked on Ghost in the Shell and Mononoke(I think the Ghibli film). Both arenât listed in the ANN database for him.
-KLK was being worked on for three years. Iâm assuming thatâs pre-production stuff.
-As to how they did Ragyoâs rainbow hair, apparently thereâs some sort of predefined setting that they nicknamed âthe Ragyo effectâ in the office.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]So just got out of the 2nd panel. I somewhat fucked up as so only got to hear half of the panel so somebody else will have to report the bits I didnât hear.
-Ninja Slayers will âmost likelyâ be completely different from KLK and Inferno cop
-Theyâre happy about their success worldwide but feel they definitely need to work on their production schedule. They put some emphasis on this. Theyâre also happy about the progress their young animators have made working on KLK and LWA.
-Theyâre seemingly fine with parodies as someone in the audience brought up the âBully La Bullyâ video they did(the Hotdog Ryuuko) and the staff will look at the video later.
-Yoshinari likes psychological thrillers(this was brought up in the bit about what genre they would like to work in once their production schedule is free). I yelled out for mecha.[/QUOTE]
[size=20]Kill la Killâs English Dub Trailer Streamed by Aniplex USA[/size]

A crazy show like this needs a crazy dub to go with it. Iâm not getting that from this clip, not at all. Needs a shot of Godannar in their veins, or at least a helping of Needless/Medaka Box.
By the way anyone else notice that Aniplex may actually be starting to get a clue? All of their major releases are starting to come in both formats (DVD and BD) and offering a separate special edition? Granted their prices are still a little excessive but If I had had that option with Fate / Zero or SAO, Iâd have been a lot happier.

Episode 25 included with last Blu-ray/DVD on September 3
The official website for the Kill la Kill anime series began streaming a 31-second preview for the seriesâ unaired episode 25, which will debut in the final Blu-ray/DVD volume.
The volume will ship on September 3 with episodes 24 and 25. It will also have audio commentaries, Japanese subtitles, and a web preview video. The limited first pressing of the volume will add a bonus making-of documentary DVD Vol. 3 disc, a case and packaging illustrated by character designer Sushio, and an exclusive book.
The animeâs website also announced that Tokyoâs Shinjuku Wald 9 and Osakaâs Umeda Burg 7 theaters will host advance screenings of the unaired episode on August 30 and August 31, respectively. Writer Kazuki Nakashima and the main cast will attend the screenings.
Just heard the official Aniplex trailer for the kill LA kill dub.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner for Worst dub of 2014. Bang zoom just needs to stop. Seriously. There wasnât applause on the room after it finished: there were sighs of relief and muttering about âthis is why I hate dubsâ
Literally doing a disservice to the anime community by steering people away from dubs by doing them poorly is, again, bang zoom.

English dub to debut on Adult Swim on February 7 at 11:30 p.m. EST/PST
As a dub fan I donât like the idea of putting that dub on TV but I can appreciate Aniplex giving those who want access to the dub a free way to do so.
