Shut up, Hosoda is still working.
I assumed it always was. And as such a sign for me to block the person.

It's intensive for no reason as they could composite the character and simply scale it with the background, as there's no angle change or perspective shenanigans that would make a simple size reduction slider not work.
side by side of the two to see lost detail
I mean I'm sure there's a reason they do it but my limited knowledge doesn't let me see why for a static zoom out non perspective changing shot
Having limited knowledge of animation techniques, I'm guessing it's to keep the line art consistent. Simply scaling the image would make it look like the camera is zooming out instead of moving back.

So just use NTR'd instead of cucked. It fits the topic of the thread better anyway.

It's still #2 to Spirited Away in Japan though. Internationally it destroyed every record thanks to China, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, but I thought the hoopla was highest grossing domestically.

So I'm kind of mixed on the premise of Orange, especially since it's dealing with such a heavy topic in Suicide.
On the one hand, tackling the idea of depression and survivors guilt heads on is important, but the whole time traveling aspect of it got me feeling conflicted.

Thanks man.
I think they did a really good job closing out all the loose ends, but for some viewers it was hard to look past the "sci-fi" tag as well as with what
Suwa was giving up in the current timeline, by not following what happened in thr other time-line
The real Gurren Lagann starts here.

The moral is to never post words. Communicate solely in tumblr gifs.

I don't really associate it with those things in particular, it's just a term that in my experience is only used by people who dwell in the fringes of the internet and have zero self-awareness. I guess that includes those groups!
What does tumblr have against good quality gifs anyway.
The whole 2 last episodes are kind of a disaster in general, honestly they kinda smell of hastily rewritten because it was making more money than gold.
Some of the writer interviews do make some developments more tolerable, but there still a lot of shoddy writing. It doesn't help that the show climaxed by episode 7 and 10, which really resulted in a pretty weird pacing.

let's be honest, Masamune-kun would be funnier if he had a bunch of bros in fedoras like nodding at everything he does.

I checked out the latest chapter of Masamune's manga, and yeah it doesn't get any better lol.

I'm about to jump into One Punch Man finally, and I can't decide between Japanese or Dub. I've listened to a few samples of both, and while 90% of the time I prefer watching subbed, I must say the dub of this seems really damn good.
Admiral Woofington
Member
I've heard good things about the dub. But nothing will ever beat sub Saitama for me.
Vincent Alexander
Member
Maybe I'll go with sub then...I just watched a short comparison scene of some big baddie talking smack, and Saitama pausing for a moment before saying "OK" after a long pause. It was great in both voice-wise, except for the dub they inserted crickets before he says "OK". That really bothered me....
Wait. There are only 12 episodes?! But what if I love it? What do I do after 12? What happens with my life then?
Another good aspect of the dub is that it allows you to concentrate in small animation details if your anime-subs reading skills are not so leveled-up.
Second season is coming this year

Dub was pretty excellent over all. I just didn't care for the direction they took with Genos' voice.
WTF.
I watched all 13 episodes of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu because of all the positive comments on the voting thread, but this was ALL A LIE.
There was no rakugo performance in the last episode. Bullshit. I'm so disappointed now when I thought nothing could top Sukeroku's in the penultimate ep and was expecting more.

Thanks all for feedback on One Punch Man. I'll hopefully be blazing through this weekend. Also, sweet Lordy. I missed the trailer for second season of The Eccentric Family. My body is ready. They took too long to reveal Benten though. My heart almost dropped at thought of her not making a return.
91 Days - Episode1
Gonna get through this before voting for AOTY.
This is one weird show. I think I really like it but like, it's not a Prohibition Era mob story. I mean, I know that's what it says it is, but it's not. It's more like some fantasy alternate reality mob anime based on someone's imagination of what the Prohibition Era might have been like in a place that is clearly not America but some made up country that's a gestalt of period western countries.
It's over the top, it has an odd rhythm of drama and humor, and everyone is crazy. The music is good. I dig the character designs, and the art direction nails the mythic fable tone it's going for. This is definitely more Gungrave than Boardway Empire. I'm very interested in seeing how the good the story feels by the end, because this is Taku Kishimoto's first original writing gig afaik.

Best way to describe it is Gungrave before it shat the bed.
And yeah, the background art is a treat so many times. I kept describing it at a water painting, but someone more artistic can do a better job at it. The city looks like if America had a little Italy, but it was a whole town.
Are you watching the dub? Someone posted a clip earlier and the Brooklyn accents are amazing.
Though it never reaches western Mafia levels, you can clearly tell they were inspired by just straight forward revenge and mafia stories and made a show of the basic themes

I really like the sound direction, particularly the effects that are chosen to transition between scenes. The louder clock tick that initiated the flashback to Oda and Dazai's first meeting with Ango was an effective choice, and the clink of glass after
was simply heartbreaking. This show really knows what I want from the coordination of sound and image.
Yeah, it feels kind of weird for that reason. It's period but not quite real period, which gives it a sort of "out of time" feeling.
It is, unless you count the original Jump Festa episode he wrote for Haikyuu.

God, I love Gungrave. It did start to go downhill in the final 3rd of the show, but the ending made up for it (for me, anywho)
I love Gungrave and I definitely had no problem with which direction the final third went (But hey ho the video game is one of my favourite on the Playstation 2 so I was expecting that level of insanity) more issues with how the animation quality started to slump towards the end.
But that ending episode was fantastic, really left a strong impression on me.
No I'm just watching whatever originally aired. I don't watch stuff dubbed the first time anyway. Unless it's a game. Then it's whatever I end up buying.
I think the craziness of the characters definitely draws from pulp revenge tales and exploitation films in the past. The use of knives is pretty cool because it literally puts an edge on everything. Lol see what I did there!!!
I dig it though. I mean after everyone said it's "bad western film anime" I was expecting the worst, but it's actually a really cool unique style. The setting has more in common with Baccano than a white man series. But even more imaginary.
Gungrave is the best mafia anime ever. Too bad about the zombies and monsters though. Lol.
