How ARE the labor laws in Japan anyways? Seems like if they were stricter the industry would drastically change.
Then again we have developers like Rockstar in the US who are overworking their employees as well.

I am very interested. Thank you.
It disappoints me no end to see such train wrecks like the Berserk anime.
That a property that I love being treated so poorly is disappointing and a bit embarrassing.
I don't blame the creators involved though. They were clearly under impossible conditions.

People keep saying that, and it's difficult to imagine the current working conditions being sustainable, but yet there are still new animation studios being formed all the time and the industry keeps making more and more money. So it's difficult to know when if ever the industry's overall working climate will actually change.
Reading some things seem to imply that many new animators in Japan are being paid below the countries minimum wage. I don't understand how this is legal. Some sort of awful loophole I assume.
So not only are they overworked but massively underpaid too.
It sounds like Japanese animators really do need to unionise.
They need protection for their workers rights.
You'd thinks so but then you see stuff like this where they just haven't gotten around to it or even hint it's a bad idea and realize why they haven't.

Re:Creators Episode 9
I enjoyed the talking, all the truth and lies and truth and lies. Poor Sota but also poor Alice who is so gullible its not even funny.

Im shocked Mamika actually died, I thought she would be saved by someone at least, even saved by Magane of all people.

I thought most of mobile gaming winners are kind of rare, as it seems many mobile games just die out fast. I remember some article said over 100 jpn mobile games ended in just the first four months of this year already.

Most animators are not paid salaries but are paid per cut. So their pay depends on how quickly they can churn out work. The exceptions are animators who work for KyoAni, Toei (where animators did actually unionize), and now P.A. Works has announced that they will move to a salaried model starting in 2019.

Oh wow they actually showed us a non storyline summon, Lich. I use him. I wish they had showed Phantom Pain.
Good animated take on Lyria backstory.

The Kings Avatar Episode 9
Finally up to date, and finally we get One Inch Ash to join up with Lord Grim for a bit. This will be good, as his Ghostblade is pretty awesome.
Chat rooms scenes are hilarious though I sometimes have to bring up the wiki just to remember who a few people are based on looks.
Steamed Bun Invasion getting all excited with his claw was fun too.

Spoiler for last scene of MHA S2 E10
My fucking god.
That last sequence.
Holy fucking shit.
That was so fucking amazing.
Best episode in the entire series so far.
Midoriya is a fucking madman.
They did such a damn good job in making the breaking fingers and then breaking broken fingers etc. feel painful. That use of Midoriya's mouth to fling his thumb was great

Re:Creators-9
SURPRISE! THE SHOW IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THERE'S A CRAZY PERSON TALKING!
Hiroe is so much better at creating crazy hot females that I don't know what he was thinking putting Meteora in the show to begin with. This episode consisted almost entirely of talking but it's lightyears improved over than previous episodes just because of the content in those words. Magane is toying with Sota for over half the episode and it's beautiful to watch. Also sexy.
All of the summoned creations should have been villains.

I've wanted an anime like this for years.
An anime where the main character is the best friend that always gets the short end of the stick while the Gary Stu who'd normally be the protagonist gets all the ladies.
I've always imagined a scene with him reaching a breaking point where he just goes off on a rant on how much of a shithead the MC and his harem were to him.
You know, something engaging!

That's a trademark stylistic feature of Yutaka Nakamura, nicknamed Yutapon. Nakamura has mostly worked with Bones, which is why you make that association.

Good to know. But yeah everything I can think of where I've seen it is Bones.
Swore I saw it in Kill la Kill too.
Ryu is there to fill Haruna's stomach.
Yutapon isn't the only animator who does it now as a few others are emulating his style.

In Europe at least animated features get significant funds from sponsors, state commitees and the EU.

Re:Creators has some really nice fight scenes, but it compounded by a shit ton of exposition.
Hasn't it already, with the collapse of the mid tier game which was replaced with indies which the glut is now negatively impacting.
Meanwhile with AAAs, it's like Hollywood where budgets and other factors gave meant the year can only sustain a small number of tentpole releases. And games have the added problem of actively encouraging players to choose a single game as service and nothing else.

Having the rest of the cast go out where Sagiri can't follow them was a nice call, but I'm guessing Elf might be this series' Kuroneko in that she'll try her darnest to get Masamune to like her and will still ultimately fail. The biggest issue here ins that, unlike in OreImo, the MC's already aware that he's into his little sister in that way, so it probably is even more hopeless for poor Elf here.

Re:Creators 9
See? Just limit the amount of lines Selesia and Meteora have, and the show improves.
I do keep finding it odd how small and empty Tokyo keeps seeming. Characters keep bumping into each other relatively randomly and/or finding abandoned places where nobody notices huge explosions or destruction. The incident kicking off this episode is just one of many examples.
More of a nitpick than anything else, because the convenience keeps the plot moving, but it makes the world seem less alive.

Lupin IIIrd: The Blood Spray of Goemon Ishikawa
I was going to talk about other aspects of this film, but my eyes are still seared by the extreme brutality of the violence in the final act. You'd expect blood to be everywhere per the title, and it is, but I didn't expect so many explicit cross-sections of the human body. Yikes.

This showwwwwwwww. Damn so many questions have opened up now. I can't possibly see them ending this in a conclusive way in a couple of episodes though, so idk... And for sure this won't get a third season anytime soon as well, so this only makes matters worse

Eromanga sensei ep.9
Elf, you just bumped up a ton of notches in my mind with this performance. With that being said, prepare to get crushed; you have no shot with mr siscon..
It's pretty sad, since this is like a version of OreImo where the author didn't even want to let us entertain the thought of having the MC match-up with anybody that isn't his little sister.
Like, why even have alternate love interests if the guy has long ago made up his mind about Sagiri being the love of his life, and his little sister even reciprocates his feelings for her? I mean, at least Kyousuke (dakke?) was initally really into Kuroneko, at least until she voluntarily let go off of him so that he could discover his feelings for freaking Kirino, that is (oh dear, just remembering that arc's conclussion makes me feel frazzled).
