There's a preview going around released by anime-keep and anime-empire... they'll probably do it... don't know about aone though

Tue, 04-06-2004, 02:16 AM
I think aone is also doing this if im not mistaken... but a-keep just released episode 1 for those of you who are impatient

AonE has the promotion here (http://www.gotwoot.net/torrents/[AonE-Onigiri]_Kono_Minikukumo_Utsukushii_Sekai_Promo_[91545384].avi.torrent), but I don't see any seed around; could be the result of recent change of port from 6969 to 6968.

BTW, for those who don't know yet: KonoMini is designed, produced, and performed by the same group of people of Mahoromatic. The most unbelievable thing for me is that every seiyuu in KonoMini (except the male lead by Takahiro Mizushima, who's not among the cast of Mahoromatic) plays their "respective" character in Mahoromatic. Even the two boys and three girls (Triomatic), who are always hanging around the leads, are the same. I can't say whether this is good or bad, but this indeed save GAINAX a lot of efforts. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

well if you dont really want to wait... their version i found it to be very good... but i deleted it and wait for aone for archive purposes

Tue, 04-06-2004, 03:29 AM
I think i will check their version out just to get a feel for the series. I used to do this with GITS SAC, if Kraze's came out first, would get theirs, then swap it with Aone's version.

Most of the time i like to get a compelte series from one group.

I find sometimes ill start watching it from one group, like the font, translation, or even font color better, and end up staying with that group.

Neko refrain yourself from details (at least i think you should) and dont double post...

Neko Sniper
Tue, 04-06-2004, 07:34 PM
Uhm excuse me but there are 4!! hours between my posts and the posts are about two different things like the first one pf them is about the sub-groups I like to watch and the second is about the episode. It gives not much info about what happens in there but my own opinion about it. So no double posting here, ok.

Munsu
Tue, 04-06-2004, 11:00 PM
4 hours is too short of a time... i think that the only reasonable moment to double post is when a thread is beyond the first page....

The reason I told you about the detail thing is because aone has not released it yet and i think that you should wait for their release before talking about Hikari since it was a surprised for me how the story progressed and i dont want to ruin it for anybody that hasn't seen it yet...

Neko Sniper
Tue, 04-06-2004, 11:32 PM
Hmmm..I didn't know about the fact that you're only allowed to post one time a day on a site in this forum and all I said about Hikari is that she's cute and scary like what you could have already seen in the trailer which AonE did release as well. But lets not start to argue in here and instead enjoy the show. ^_^

Wed, 04-07-2004, 02:20 AM
children children .... no fighting now! i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

I'm gonna side with Neko on this one ... especially since budweineken was also double-posting, in this very thread! Talk about pot~kettle here ...

Generally it's not good forum etiquette to double post, this is true. But there are exceptions. For example posting replies to several people's questions (if 4 people ask 4 different questions in the same thread, and you're answering all 4 of them separately and specifically, it's justifiable to quad-post). With a certain amount of time passing, it's also fine. How much time that is is a bit hard to determine, but I'd say less than an hour is probably not acceptable -- you should probably just edit your old post. 1-8 hours is a borderline case (depending how active the board is). I'd say on a forum with the activity levels of this one, 3-6 hours between double posts is probably acceptable, as people might have already seen the thread and might not know that new info has been generated), and if the thread has been effectively dead for more than 8 hours and you've got new relevant info to post, by all means. The only time double-posting is really bad is when it doesn't bring new information into the thread... for example if you follow up your first post in a thread with a "lol" or something.

We do want to keep this a friendly and open discussion forum, and also somewhat aone-related. It's hard to draw a line between "general info" and "early stage spoilers". Saying "Hikari is cute, and the story is interesting" definitely doesn't cross the spoiler line IMO. You'd almost have to expect a character named "Hikari" to be either cute or badass (or both) by virtue of the name alone.

So, like neko said, stop the hatin' both of ya! jeesh. Else I'm gonna have to start ripping on poor innocent Lego, and I don't wanna have to do that i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

Munsu
Wed, 04-07-2004, 02:33 AM
Hehehe... no problems here... it's true I double posted since this thread was already in the third page... but whatever i really didnt care about that i just didnt want to spoil yet that Hikari might have two sides to her because it surprised me and i wanted others to be surprised also....

But hey... me personally i dont even care.... so i have nothing against Neko... so when i say something dont take it personally because i'm the most easy going guy you'll meet...

and complich8 since you said so.... it most be done so no problems here....

Come Neko... i'll buy you Budweiser

A very good anime, I like the story so far. It kind of caught me by surprise because I thought it was just going to be like a romance anime.

FriedBunny
Thu, 04-08-2004, 01:56 PM
The first episode seemed to have the requisite strangeness, but still was rather plain. I'm a huge fan of just about every series Gainax has ever put out, we'll see if this one improves.

I'm also vaguely curious as to why their '20th Anniversary Production' is apparently an ecchi piece, considering that it would hardly be representative of body of work. Maybe the Mahoromatic team is just a bit too perverse for my tastes...

... but then again, after only a single episode I don't think I have any room to bitch.

chaos4ever4
Thu, 04-08-2004, 02:44 PM
It's just the first episode, but seeing the preview to the second episode, I just hope the main storyline doesn't take a backseat to a schoolkid-genre plot. Gainax has set up an interesting start. I hope it doesn't fizzle.

So I'm also very much intrigued by this series. I didn't notice the mahoromatic costume in episode whatever that was, I'll have to go back and look. Also I've never seen mahoromatic... so I wouldn't notice a reference anyway... but its still cool that you guys noticed that!
And I know I'm going to get my head chomped off by asking this, but because I'm a masochistic little soul, I'll go right ahead. Is this series being aired in Japan right now? (cause if it is that's cool... i like to think that I'm watching something that is not a decade old...). Also, how often does it air in Japan. And no I'm not making a snide comment about how fast the fansubs come out, I'm genuinely curious as to how often it airs in Japan. Is it like ROD TV? Two episodes every two weeks? Or is it one episode a week, like a regular sitcom here in the USA.

I just started watching this show and gotta say that fan service is good in all but I'm more interested in seeing the Takeru transform into the devil guy again. I also wanna see if Ryou can transform since his hand's turned blue.

michiru347
Wed, 05-12-2004, 11:09 PM
Admittedly, I too am interested in seeing if/when the boys do their transformations again. But I'm really really interested in the development of Hikari's character, there were a couple pretty disturbing insinuations in episode one that were repeated in episode five. I really want to know if Hikari is a split personality or maybe has a demon inside of her. Sounds far fetched, but she keeps doing these very odd things where she "gets that look in her eyes" and then something monstrous happens. And with that said, will Akari have similar problems? Both of them seem too sweet to be true. And with the development of the series, I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong on all counts! I kind of want Hikari and Akari to be cute, sweet star-children with no weird split-personality traits. What do you all think?

Ryllharu
Thu, 05-13-2004, 03:37 PM
Supposedly, and according to the previews, Takeru will transform again in eps 7.

Based on the intro to the first eps where she says all that stuff about mass extinction, I've thought that Hikari was the destroyer of species. This seems to be backed up by Takeru's transformed shape (the whole brutality thing) and that she completely obliterated that monster. Not to mention the creppy things she says when she gets all 'evil.' If they are like sisters, then Akari must be the creator of new species after everything is all dead. This because of the weird species she had around her in her introductory eps, the bettle (not the stag bettle) and the flowers. Unless they are all normal things, then I'm wrong. Creation of new species always follows mass-extinction anyway, so I'd say that's where the 'sister' thing ties in.

Look at the servants they have too. Akari has Kuon, whatever it is. And Hikari's (Ionious?) is this huge robot-looking thing that can destroy buildings.

Great series- really love the pacing of the story- they are not rushing the storyline, giving the characters a chance grow & actually relate to each other, unlike some other anime's that the only way the story moves along is during the fight scenes(which is not neccsrly a bad thing). This reminds more of Eva than Mahoro though, but way more upbeat.

To make things worse, Anime-Keep hasn't even released 7 yet so I can't fall back on them for getting the episode out first. Well, does anyone have connections with AE staff or know of any other good groups that do KonoMini? Thanks a bunch.

I believe the raws come straight from Japanese TV and if a series is licensed...they do all sorts of funny stuff to the opening credits (not to mention the dubbing) and then show it on US TV in English...

I hope that's the correct process, correct me if I'm wrong...

So that's why we know it isn't licensed, not sure about Geneon Entertainment though

Besides, if it were licensed then www.animesuki.com wouldn't list it amongst its torrents so i guess that shows it's not licensed i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

Hm...to me it seems like they're rushing things...I mean....(Spoilers Ahead)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPOILERS
First it was Takeru transforming, then we see him not transform for a few eps, everything is fun and funny and happy and stuff (maybe apart from Mari) and now...in like a few eps the story has turned into something dead serious with the whole thing about the ED and mass extinction in ep8 and the whole issue with Ryou and ep10 takes the cake with Hikari and that talk....
SPOILERS END
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




I hope there's a second season and that the storyline doesn't close so suddenly...what'd you guys think???

I believe AonE will release a batch of 7-10 soon, that's why they took them down. Just wait and you'll see. i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Only one more episode... well we can hope for specials or maybe even a second season or something to be released in the future.

This anime is great, not quite as good as Mahoromatic, but still, really REALLY good. Although, the use of the same production team and voice actors was enough to hook me in. I just love Mahoro and Hikari's voices. Does anyone know the name of the voice actress? I want to look into other animes she may have done.

Hikari - Kawasumi Ayako
Mahoro - ?

Thanks, actually they have the same voice actress. I just didn't know her name. Most of the voice cast from Mahoromatic are doing the voices in This Ugly and Beautiful World.

EDIT - Wow, I just checked into what other animes she's voiced in, and there sure are alot of them.

Ah that was a beautiful ending. I was hoping there would be a second season like Mahoromatic, but that doesn't look like it will be the case.

LoL i might see a romance tie in with the new people, but it may be alittle difficult with that type of ending.

But yeah, all in all that was a nice short little anime. Only real problems i had with it was that alot of things seemed to go real slow, and that there wasnt much of the takaru's ED (power) form. (BTW anyone have that little jazzish song they play when he changes? i'd like to have that song.)

Everon

Jazzish? Do you mean the song with the strumming bassline and guitar? Its called "Angry Guy" I think. Niponnsei has released an Op for Konimini, so you can go look for a bt or check out thier channel on rizon.

=================================
Pretty nice ending. But yeah, I don't think they would be able to make a 2nd anime, unless they did something Full metal Panic Fummofu, and just threw in some extra eps.

I downloaded the soundtrack for the series, Nipponsei released on www.downloadanime.org, you can also find it at http://nipponsei.levillage.org/

EDIT - Does anyone know of a good site for the show? I'm trying to track down a gallery and wallpapers but haven't had much luck so far. Any help would be appreciated.

Big THANKS to AonE that they released this show. I personally still haven't watched the last three episodes but I will do so over the next few days. Hope to see some more of this and if there ever will be a second season, I would really love to see it subbed by you guys again. Thanks again i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Don't do that, we're family. Akiri was the only person in the show that had some sense.

I really loved this show. But, I don't think that its too hard to do another season

*****SPOILER ALERT******

Wasn't that a different looking butterfly in the ending sequence? Maybe it's related to them giving new life to planets. Prob a big stretch. Also, they got their clothes and bodies back in the end.

****SPOILER ALERT *******

Thanks AonE

***Spoiler****Spoiler***

That butterfly at the end is the exact same as on the title...the half ugly half beautiful butterfly and I think it basically shows the return of Hikari and Akari...and rounds up the title...as this Ugly and Beautiful World, shown on the butterfly...Of course there are many ways of seeing it hehe

***End of Spoiler***




I thought the ending was pretty good! The part with Jennifer getting very involved in the action is a bit weird for a professor hehe, but oh well...it's over i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif

I don't believe it was on the first OST, although I'm sure another one will be released in the near future. The current OST only has the TV versions of the opening and ending themes.

After finaly being able to watch the last episode I have to agree that there probably won't be a second season. The ending was a lil sad but after watching some other Gainax stuff, I was expecting it to be. Oh well... let's see what they are up to next and what new series we're about to get to see made by them. i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif
