What has me scratching my head is that this is supposed to be a Noitamina title, yet Yamakan's work (other that, in some ways, the first season of Haruhi) is MILES away from anything even remotely resembling Noitamina-worthy. Perhaps I hold the time slot in too high a regard, but I think it's earned its sterling reputation, as much as any arbitrary aggregation of anime series can.
I'll definitely give Fractal a try. I don't mind some hoity-toity in my anime - at least if it's being all auteur, it's probably too wrapped up in itself to be full of moe pandering. I'm not sure how much faith I have in the concept, or in Yamakan as a director; I just like to think Noitamina's gurus won't pick shows that would besmirch the time slot's reputation.

I don't really have all that much to say except I hope it's good, and that I know nortonantivirus will be here soon.
Doom and gloom everywhere! What the anime industry in Japan needs are sales men that can attract positive attention. If you speak ill of your product long enough losing your customers will be become a self fulfilled prophecy. Its also worth pointing out that disks cost so damn much (In Japan) its not surprising to me in the least that only the hardcore buy them first hand.
Just want to make a correction. I don't know why but I keep seeing a lot of people under the assumption that Yutaka Yamamoto directed season one of Haruhi which is not the case. Tatsuya Ishihara took on the directorial duties for Haruhi season one. Yamamoto did some script and storyboard work for season one and only directed the ED animation and episodes 1 and 12.
BRS sucked monkey balls, haruhi wasn't entertaining, lucky star was okay if you were high, and kannagi was just stupid. I'll give it a shot, but if it is like the name implies, Fraq it!
First off I'm getting seriously annoyed by this blatant falsitude being passed around everywhere (well, it's his own fault because he does try to hog up all the glory for Haruhi, despite barely working on the series. Poor Ishigara) but to put it shortly: YAMAKAN NEVER DIRECTED HARUHI. He only acted as episode director and storyboard artist on eps 1 & 12 and did the ED.
That is all. I'm annoyed at this idiot trying to steal Ishigara's cred and hence I do not particularly like Yamakan's "misdirections" being spread further here at japanator.
I haven't seen Kannagi (only series he really directed) so I can't comment on his directing abilities but I'll be checking out Fractal for the fact Azuma is writing it alone, no matter how shitty rest of the team is
