Not at all. Whereas Kado was at Toei, this is being done at Orange under the OG Love Live director.

Is there something wrong with me? I still think that looks awful. Manga is really good so ill definitely be watching the show but still a part of me is pissed that it is CG
Pretty impressive 2D/3D blending across the board. Hadn't really heard anything about this before but the song is really good and the visual direction actually seems like it'll be strong based on what they're showing.
Maybe? Only thing about it that looks really bad is the horrible stuff Youtube does to video quality..........
Wouldn't call it proper awful but it still looks distinctly "anime CG" to the point its actively discouraging. And they ruined diamond who looked so much better here. Yurusenai !

I mean I can see that it's a big improvement from something like Beserk but there's something extremely uncanny valley about anime cg for me. The different material effects make the characters look like composites and not part of a whole object. For example every time they show the priest guy I am immediately taken out of it and just left wondering why he looks odd.
Wow. Yep 100% convinced now. Traditional > CGI. every single time.
I actually prefer the CG version in this case. Like, this looks nice, but the character style lends itself to CG very well and the animation fluidity is just fantastic.

You have no idea...
this pv looks like a million times worse in terms of motion, framing, visual clarity, color scheme, character expressiveness, action. i dunno what to say...........
I dropped Ballroom at the third episode or so and this made me check the latest. You're a madman, the first song is way better.

Knights and Magic 13 (End)
Will probably forget about this show in a few weeks, but had fun following it.
Pretty alright show overall. Can't get around the fact that it follows the standard modern isekai format where the MC is the best at everything, but Ernesti is at least alright because of his enthusiasm and blind obsession with mechas. I actually did like most of the side characters, Dietrich especially, but almost all were overshadowed by Ernesti.

So the Miss Kobayashi's Maid Dragon OVA is out. Any impressions of it?
I heard that they adapted the nasty love drug chapter.

I finally got a chance to see "In This Corner of the World" in the cinema this weekend. It's a very impressive movie. I've not often seen the plight of ordinary civilians during a war shown in such an impactful way.
This song sound so much like ハイスイノナサ stuff, so good.
This looks really good. The test will be if the entire show looks as smooth and lively as what they've presented here or not. Under-animation looks far worse in 3D than 2D.

I may not prefer 3D animation, but I can't deny the work done for this is amazing.

There may be something wrong with you, yes.
But sure, everyone has their own aesthetic preferences and all. There's no denying that CG animation always looks different from 2D, just as digital animation always looks different from cel, and some people will always prefer the look of one kind of medium over another. I really appreciate the creative possibilities available within CG however, and I'm so happy to see Orange embrace them through techniques such as the fluid and amorphous approach to effects animation, and the translucent, textured hair. The 2D animation of the manga PV looks good in its own way, but the stylization in Orange's production looks just as good in its own unique way, and I'm really excited to see it in full.
Orange doesn't have the same approach that some CG studios such as Sanzigen use, of intentionally limiting animation to imitate the typical look of Japanese 2D animation, so I don't think you need to be worried about this. There are other trailers out, so it's not as if this MV is cherry picking the only good looking footage.

What I don't like from Houseki no Kuni is how the monk looks. He is supposed to be human, unlike the gemstone-girls. So the eerie look of the girls works fine, for the setting, but he looks weird looking the same.

I think they have forgotten that fusions are a thing at all quite frankly.

They fused to beat Goku Black...
If they can remember the Evil Containment Wave and have Roshi use it multiple times and that Android 17/18 have a huge advantage in a tournament because they have infinite stamina they can remember anything

It's probably allowed, but they don't have potara for Vegito and Vegeta never canonically learns the fusion dance (nor does it fit in his character at all to try and learn it)
Absolutely agree with you. I had high hopes for Ballroom and it really let me down in pretty much every aspect. I still continued to watch it and the latest episode(12) actually got me looking forward to the next one for the first time. Who would have thought that fleshing out characters made a more engaging show?!

I haven't seen the episode yet but I like how in the manga, All Might got called out for being a dick and going overboard.

Yep. It's a Shinkai film alright. Same effect heavy scenery porn, only now with random pop songs inbetween. Actually... it's the same fucking film as 5 Centimeters Per Second. Oh my fucking God I'm getting angry just thinking about this. What's wrong with you, Shinkai? I can't deal with your bullshit anymore. Fucking why? Is it that difficult to not fuck with people? Fuck. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Toei has kind of treated fusion as a joke, complete with Vegeta shitting on the concept when Trunks asked him to let him participate in the Universe 6 tournament.
Even with the Goku Black scene, Toei/Toriyama immediately retconned how the Potaro Earrings worked and effectively made them useless. So I doubt Fusion will ever come into play in a major way again.

Princess Principal - 12 FINAL
What? WHAAAAAAAAT?! *Camera tilts up to sky*
That's gotta be the most awkward Season 2 hook I've yet seen.

Kakegurui- END
Definitely one of the most entertaining shows of the season, but tgat was a very anti-climactic ending. Very much a "go read the manga" ending, but at least there was no stupid cliffhanger to go along with it!
Blood Blockade Battlefront - Season 1 END
So I had watched up to episode 11 when it first aired then fell off during the time between episode 11 and 12. Glad that 12 cleared up a good deal of stuff that makes sense in hindsight, including White's true nature. It was a worthwhile end that has me very excited for where the show will go in season 2.
As for the entirety of the season, it toes the line between comedy and drama very very well. All the goofy shit with Zapp, Zed's Longest Day, the food episode, and the banter back and forth works well with the heavier and heartfelt moments. BBB also has some really downbeat episodes that highlight the complexities of the world and the characters. It's also fucking well animated and edited masterfully between the well timed jump cuts to the heavy action. It's probably somewhere in my top 10 anime of this decade and I can't wait to see more.

I only watched Kekkai Sensen a few weeks ago. Agree with a lot of the sentiments here, and wanted to add just how it's one of the rare cases where the setting actually enhances the somewhat bizarre pacing and the way they integrated the anime original story because it's just a weird place where weird things happen. Hopefully that stays the same in Beyond.

Question tbough, Hunters are supossed to be "good" guys, so why would they allow a guy who turns another guys arms into flowers or a guy who tries to posion people to take the exam?

Maybe because Hunters aren't supposed to be "good" guys. ;D

No they aren't. Hunters are explicitly neutral. Licensed Hunters just can't kill other Hunters without reason
