I hate those character designs.
Its not gonna look like that in anime. Maybe what remain is only the clothes n hair.
Depends on how much their budget is. GC concept character art looked pretty damn identical to what actually aired.
I was just trying to contribute with examples! I'm more sad about Despera now anyway.
As for the Psycho-Pass art by Amano; why even bother contracting her if they are just going to ignore her style? The detailed line work obviously isn't going to carry over, but the overall proportions and aesthetic will probably be honored.
Yeah the Prisma Ilya designs look terrible.
Its not that these are just older characters though, because I enjoy some shows with older characters, these just look bad.
Not sure if serious.
Just compare it with whatever that we get.
And chara design is not about budget, its about flexibility to animate.
Tsuritama - Series
Finally finished this today. Really really great series. Quirky soundtrack, fun themes and just some clever writing. Really enjoyed everyone's development throughout the series and how it all tied into fishing. Production was top notch, with the exception of the CG here and there. Really stuck out against some of the better backdrops.
All in all, highly recommended.
DUCK-KUH!

The guy with brown hair looks like it wants to escape from his head.
Its not bad, .. those "powder" effect ala yaoi trademark maybe is what annoy you.
I hate those too in Amano's drawing.
That's a girl.
Dem red mark in cheek, eyes, whatever.
I think holding a gun with both hands is sexier.I just noticed something... incredibly sexist about the Psycho-Pass key visual. Holy crap. I'm kinda... offended even. Notice how all the guys are holding their large oversized guns with just one hand, while both female characters need BOTH HANDS to hold them. Wtf?
After the initial info. dump, Horizon does have some pretty good fights. (Potential Spoilers) I loved the fight from episode 4 where Kazuno engages three of Tres España's God of War units.
Since her swords are made out of the roadway, I like the detail that she uses them as a jumping platform to get back to the ground after dodging the one attack before redirecting them around herself to initiate a counter-attack. I also love the zooming out shot with the reflection in her eye before she re-directs the bullet back at the one guy too.
I thought you preferred the more lighthearted stories compared to the darker and more depressing stories?
In some ways I wish Persona 3 was more popular but I can only imagine how the media would handle that game if it was, with it's "stylish suicides" where the characters simulate shooting themselves in the head with their "Evokers". Then there's collecting and using as minions, many of the world's different religion's God's and Deity's. Then there's the whole combining Persona's with, just as an example, a Hindu God with a Christian angelic figure and getting a Japanese Shinto God or Goddess as the result. Many of the combination results or patterns might not sit will with some.
You changed your mind then? You mentioned earlier you might not even bother watching the second season so I found this statement confusing. To me it came across as you liked the first season of Horizon enough to want to buy and own it, for what I would naturally assume would be multiple viewings, yet you didn't like the first season enough to even want to watch the second season even once?
I've seen a very similar video where the girl actually knocked herself out from the Desert Eagle's kickback. She was holding it just the same as this girl I believe as well.

Intentional or not, it's a more subtle form of sexism.
All of them look early twenties except for the brownhaired guy and the girl in the top left. MC looks closer to thirties.
It's very similar. The shading is a bit different but it's pretty close.
They look like they're in their teens, especially with the similarity to her Reborn designs.
Which are of, well, 14 year olds.

They look identical to Reborn characters, which are 90% teens. When Amano draws adults, there's no question they're adults.
how is it sexism? that doesn't even make sense.
No, its not similar at all.
just look to the some concept stuff by Redjuice. Only the bland chara like the childhood friend that look similar.

Another LoGH fan!
I'll take your word for it. They definitely look on the older side(and the bio for the female lead supports that). MC is definitely an adult though.
That's very close. Tomodachi no Haganai is extremely different.
lol
She's working in a police department so unless they graduate gradeschool and go straight into the workforce then she's a minimum of 18.
No, I just found it amusing because we're saying that she looks young, but you're refuting it based on a written description instead of the visual.
I was saying she looks early twenties, you guys stated that she looks like a teenager. I said fine and accepted it but still think she looks older than an average teenager and the bio seems to support that.
That's very close. Haganai is extremely different.
I think you need more coffee dude.

What do you think we were talking about earlier today? lol
If that's you're definition of being pretty different then I can't imagine what you would think of Haganai, Ano Natsu, Steins;Gate, or the Chocolate show that's airing.
Not in the slightest.

Oh look, one of the only good things about guilty Crown. HNNNNNGHHHH.

I totally forgot what GC was about, I remember it was something with terrorists and Japan contaminated.
It was that forgettable.

When was it frowned upon?
animegaf's scorn has shifted to ntr, or something. personally i hope 'waifu' gets a similar treatment soon.
Waifu is a staple of the anime lexicon.
I thought the term waifu was relatively new?

Don't act like you didn't contribute to its popularity.

Animegaf has changed.
we're (hopefully) marginally better than them, tho.
well i helped out somewhat with ntr too, but sometimes we just have to let go and toss out the rotting milk.
The clue here begins with C.
Dates back to Azumanga. Depends on whether you consider that relatively new.
