Going back to cg anime talk a future with it wouldn't bother me as much as it does others if the story is right. Like for example the berserk films don't bother me animation wise as much as others. By the third movie they had gotten the animation down right.
Crest of the Stars 7
The scope of this story seems like it's way too far beyond what I'm going to get in these 13 episodes. I feel like I'm in the first third of the first book of an epic cycle of tales.
Luckily, it's pretty fun watching this stuff play out. It's kind of weird that I'm running into two power-mad rulers in two consecutive backlog episodes, but the power dynamics between Lafiel's abstract exalted rank and the Baron's concrete control of his miniscule speck of space make things more interesting. It's impressive the way that Lafiel just goes and does things, sure that she'll be able to make things break her way if she just pushes hard enough.
Even so, I'm looking forward to getting off of this blasted hunk of rock.
The digital effects in this episode weren't common, but history has not been kind to them. Just because you can zoom in on the relatively low-res art you scanned into your computer doesn't mean that you should.

"See, I just go to this window, up Zoom to 200%, and bam! Instant closeup!"

i feel kinda similar , but this was with : "Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova"
After Very weird first 10 minutes i got accustomed to it and i didn't mind it much.i was able to enjoy the story and the characters.
I agree and the cg is getting constantly better. In a few year we will maybe have cg anime that looks like regular animated anime, only more fluid. That's what I hope at least. I liked Ars Nova very much.
edit: Haha, "beaten" with Ars Nova.
Just for personal reference, my good pal cajunator... what examples of animated 3DCGI model work did you find aesthetically pleasing and closer to that look before? Kamikaze Douga and their work including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series OPs, perhaps? SANZIGEN Inc., with for example P&SwG and B☆RS? Studio Khara's (or χαρα
digital dept. animated shorts and other work like their ED for SUPER SONICO THE ANIMATION? Toei and their Pretty Cure series EDs? Polygon Pictures Inc.,? MARZA ANIMATION PLANET INC., and things like their Lupin The Third pilot film? Nothing, maybe?Personally, I think it is more than mere potential nowadays how the look to accomplish is, we could say, achievable already while characteristic on its own in comparison. The rough 'keyframing' and difficult to achieve off-model motions are another problem entirely at this point in time, though.

Well, I like this ED animation from Miss monochrome. almost looks stop motion, but too smooth. Its sufficiently cute and well animated that I would accept this level of animation quality.

Haikyu - Episode 6
This is the total opposite of Ping Pong. It's shonen as fuck and not ashamed at all. I'm really enjoying it though. The characters are big and bold with colorful personalities, the action is really nice, and the animation delivers. I guess this is the first proper match being played in the show so far, and it certainly had all the expected ingredients. I like how when they introduce an ace on the other team, it's like a boss character showing up. Lol.
Haikyu - Episode 7
Really satisfying conclusion to the match. I think what really sells the dynamic action in the matches is how well they do the reactions and faces on the characters in the close ups as well. It just feels like a really polished and totally earnest execution of the shonen action genre. I liked the aftermath of the match even more though. It's really nice seeing these characters express their honest feelings to each other instead of holding it in and creating misunderstandings. It feels like a show where guys have their differences with each other, but they don't shy from it, and in turn that makes the competitive spirit feel much stronger. I love the tone of the show.

It's just a retelling of the TV series whose contents were redone in the Director's cut of the series. (the MUST see version) and the End of Evangelion.
Also do (not) watch the (not) movies as they are pretty universally trash.
This is EXACTLY what Crest of the Stars is. It follows the story of how Lafiel met with Jinto and how they became closer to one another. The Banner of the Stars series covers their actual adventures.
As we were talking about similar aesthetics primarily, I thought you would be more in favour of something replicating (or trying to) more closely the "feel" of the kind of Japanese animation we have accustomed to in here, isn't it? Like on this music video excerpt (one of the Studio Khara's digital department animated shorts I mentioned earlier):

Hm... Not bad.
There's nothing wrong with a series setting up for the long haul, but it really wasn't what I was expecting when I started.

There is when the author sets it up with promises but gets burn out midway only to release one book several years later.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.

That sounds about what I expected. lol
Erica Friedman runs Okazu/Yuricon, so it makes sense that she'd be on to talk about the show given all the lesbian incest stuff... at least, I assume that it comes up and she addresses it in some way at least.
But yeah, I can't even imagine why this thing is 2 hours given what you said about the first 45 minutes.
The horn goes gao gao.
There's three! They've already all come out, but the edition being sold on the 15th includes an English dub of the first two. They're selling the import version of the third movie as well if you don't really care about dubs.

So many different ranking systems. If there's one thing people on the web like, it's making lists. I am glad the episode ended with Mikuru placing on the top 20 of everyone's favorite idols, but it's not strictly necessary. Like the episode bought up, Ran excels at modeling, Mikuru excels at gardening (they have gardening ranks?) and everyone generally has their own thing. For the summer/beach motif she has going on, I can see why she'd get the Cancer ensemble. There's going to be one big performance that brings all of these together at the end of the year, no doubts.

ORESKY SAID "MUDAMUDAMUDA"! BASED KOYASU
Some Woofington fanservice aside, Madp can now cast Double Fist, because Hito made him feel strong.
Anywho, HITOKAGE AND SEIJI'S BOND, MOSTLY ABOUT MADP, and how it fits that he doesn't like Seiji because he's ruining his side of the harem, Seiji attempting to beat up Nafe (I can see why you don't like him!), and apparently my exposed bloomers.
But really, it's like... I know it plays some cards in how madp is a bit hostile towards Seiji, but they sure did ramp it up, but I think Seiji grasps this and knows how to handle madp now. I think the weird part is that.... madp is like the tsundere of this whole thing.
Watching this though.... it reaffirms that I like his new avatar. Just looks right and quite frankly, I need to update my avatar.
*Is called a support Cure and won't be helpful* *Continues to pull shit like this* In regards to Cure Honey, so far, she's like... a combination of both Shiny Luminous and Cure Rosetta in terms of being a support. What's the difference? She doesn't SUCK, that's what! She actually... FIGHTS! She's basically them done right, and it's about time they got it down. Ramping up for Fortune to come into play, she briefly appeared for a bit in the previews so...

Is The Order a Rabbit? 08
A combo movie/pool episode, and one that continues to affirm a lot of what I love about this show. By this point, the audience is familiar with the characters, so gags like Chiya taking notes in the movie theater, planning to reappropriate the dialogue for her menu items, works. Lots of good Rize moments and Sharo moment and everyone moments. Cocoa still can't tell coffee apart, and the running gag for this episode of "that ruined it" worked great.
In other GochiUsa news, a character song album has been announced in addition to the four duet singles.

Now THAT is marketing!
Youre telling me. I have to support my figurine habit too.
It sounds like a drug addiction but that would be cheaper.
Yes, but only one really counts. the first two are just the series abridged. The third is a standalone movie, and very controversial.

I need to catch up with this. So far behind with everything. Every single season I fall so far behind.
Yep, all of them. They're actually pretty well animated too. I guess even Shaft can produce great looking animation when given enough time and money.
Haikyu - Episode 8
I remember early on in the series I commented that the show sort of felt like X-men, except with high school volleyball instead of mutants. This episode totally reminded me of that again. They introduce more existing members of the team, as well as problems within the club, everyone has their own special ability, the teacher tries to recruit a coach who doesn't want the job, etc. It really feels like the next couple of episodes will be about getting everyone back together to form a complete team. Shonen to the max, but I'm loving every moment of it.

I honestly kind of liked where they were going with the first two episodes! But this entire fusion system feels like it belongs in a longer, better series. This show doesn't do anything creative with itself. It's all just...there.
Once it sucks you in, it's very difficult to get back out. Ah, man I remember when the show had it's 20 episode arcs for a while. That was when the show had the best pacing. World-building is an important part of any Shounen and Hunter X Hunter did that brilliantly.

So it would appear that the Patema Inverted Kickstarter has been updated. They are adding a new 125 GBP signed print tier by Yoshiura.
They also confirmed that they will be doing the OST if it hits the 40K stretch goal which they had as a 'strong maybe pending getting it signed off' before.

I seem to recall their Watamote podcast had some interesting thing to say, even if it was Zac shitting on self-absorbed nerds for 2 hours.
If it's any consolation, the following series all jump straight into the war from the get go, it's only really this initial series that focuses on Jinto and Lafiel's motivation as well as providing explanation for most of the main plot points in the series.
I don't mind the lack of anything in particular happening in the first series since it's still an enjoyable ride!
