With Monogatari over for the time being, Shaft brings forth another “nise” anime, taking the form of Nisekoi – an anti-Romeo-and-Juliet love comedy involving the fake arranged relationship between rival Yakuza boss heirs – produced with Shaft’s signature animation-style and likely in for an inevitable BD Shafting if the quality of the first episode is anything to go by.
Omake:
So much SHAFT!

It’s the ribbon on her head that makes it original.
My problem with this isn’t with Shaft itself but the Shaft Fanboys who keeps on saying the animation is perfect for Nisekoi, but failed to explain why it’s perfect.
The Worst I see is when those people thinks that Nisekoi won’t even have a chance without SHAFT.
Shaft was perfect for *monogatari because that was a pretty weird story with a very cerebral script. Words did most of the work and the whole thing was meant to feel surreal.
They would make a hell of a job with another Haruhi Suzumiya season for example. But their style simply not good for Nisekoi and peronsally, I don’t even like what they did with Madoka Magica.
“I don’t even like what they did with Madoka Magica.”
Consider they made Madoka, they didn’t really do anything with it since it was original created by them (Gen Urobuchi)
I must say that I was disapointed. This series has some very funny moments and over the top characters some times. So I was expecting something among the lines of Seto no Hanayome. But after this I was like “meh I choose the manga”
I feel like the manga was like watching Minamike first season and this was the second season, very diferent from what i remember seen.
If the next two episodes dont make me smille, at the very least, im gonna skip it.
