One of the new shows coming up for the Autumn season if ef - a tale of memories, and it is one of the shows that I highly anticipate. ef is based off the game ef - a fairy tale of the two which is produced by minori, who have produced other games such as Wind ~A Breath of Heart~ and Bittersweet Fools. The first thing that draws me to ef is the character designs, which is done by none other than Nanao Naru (Da Capo, Canvas2, sola) and ef is one that shows some of her darker themed works (what i mean is the use of dark colours).
Personally I have never actually played the ef game, and I don’t intend to since I don’t have the time, but I do know that ef - a fairy tale of the two is only the first half of the game. There is still a second part to be released. So it makes me wonder how this anime series will turn out as the game itself is also quite long. What I do hope is that this goes for 26 episodes as having 26 episodes with animation quality as high as this would be pure awesome.
The music is going to be produced by Tenmon, who is also the music producer of all of Shinkai Makoto’s works, so we can expect an awesome soundtrack for this. Though I don’t think Shinkai Makoto is taking a part in the anime series, I hope he’ll at least direct the opening sequence like he did for the ef game. So with animation done by Shaft, character designs by Nanao Naru, and music by Tenmon, I can’t wait till ef - a tale of memories starts airing.

With Reina in the lead, she thinks back to when she started modelling but also begins to question what she is actually looking for. Just as they enter the tunnel, Blackbird and Devil Z take to each side of Reina’s GTR and begin overtaking her, however at the exit of the tunnel, the GTR begins to slip and crashes into the wall. Akio stops and checks if Reina is alright, however Tatsuya continues to drive on. One night, Akio gets a visit from his home room teacher, Shimada Rumi, and she tags along with Akio that night in the Devil Z. She wants to understand why he is fascinated by the Z but more importantly, she wants him to attend school.

Wow, it’s been a while since this came out, in truth, I actually watched this when I saw the raws but just didn’t get around to blogging it. So continuing on from episode 2, Akio is racing Tatsuya with Eriko sitting next to him. She still believes that the Devil Z will betray him but Akio strongly disagrees, however he does end up crashing in the same construction area as last time. The two are alright, but Akio simply claims that his skills aren’t high enough.

Well its been quite some time since we last saw Wataru and Saki have some airtime, so it’s a nice change to see that majority of this episode focused on them. Although not only that, we also get a little background on Saki, which is nice and all since this is the kind of series where stuff like that doesn’t really matter. But still, she has a pretty awesome grandmother.

Everyone loves a good swimsuit episode, well I know I do but more so with this episode. Plenty of fanservice to keep the fans happy, but for me, the swimming pool arc is actually one of my favourite parts of the game. Although there are major differences in the game and the anime, it still shows us the underlying tension that is happening between Makoto and Sekai, however in the game at this point, it was more Sekai than Makoto. In this episode I’d say that they balanced it out quite well.

Misinterpretation is always a humour point in anime, and so it continues on throughout the episode with Justice’s ever so watchful eye over Najimi. But of course Tsuyuri is there to fan the flames and make Justice delve deeper into his own little world. Thus this entire episode surrounds Justice and his somewhat deluded beliefs of Najimi going to a love hotel with Hoshi.

Now what kind of convention would it be if it weren’t for cosplayers? Then my shiny camera would be pretty much useless. Luckily there was a moderate amount of cosplayers that attended SMASH, and having also bought a 2 GB CompactFlash card that morning, I was armed and ready. So hit the jump to check out a whole 64 pictures of the cosplayers and the Madman Cosplay Competition. WARNING: Picture intensive post.
