For some reason people think this being an anime is "sticking it to those SJWs"

is the series notable besides the main girl being a spunky tomboy with huge boobs, or is that pretty much the main draw

to the first, as a manga reader: "......???"

to the second: the protagonist actually has a personality, it has solid comedic timing, and in some kind of incredible revolution of the genre they are in college

There was a promotion for a blood drive featuring the character. Literally one person on twitter complained about it because her boobs are big. 4chan types talked about it so much they convinced themselves there was some movement to ban the manga because of boobs, instead of it being literally one dumb tweet by some person.

There was a bit more than one tweet but the conversation about it on Japanese internet was pretty normal, and the conversation was only about whether or not promotional materials for rl blood drives should have fanservice in them. General argument of 'it might make women or more conservative old guys uncomfortable about donating blood' versus 'women aren't really that thin-skinned and if it gets nerds to go and donate blood it's probably a net good' where both sides have fair points. There were a few idiots but it was a fairly normal bit of discourse. There was a later campaign with Uzaki with her in a more conservative outfit, and everyone who was complaining the first time said it was a fine compromise. It's a completely reasonable issue that was solved in a reasonable way.

So yeah, ofc western nerds blew it up into nonsense.

Well, he also did series composition on Gurren Lagann and wrote scripts for Re: Cutie Honey, so he's done a lot of good work as well.

I guess some people have issues with the pacing of the original but I don't feel like a remake is necessary. I'd much prefer they give Umineko another try but I suppose I'll have to check this out. Hopefully they're committed to doing the full story.

I'm not sure if I dig the character designs. What's going on with Rika's mouth?

i'd like them to give umineko another try with a more flexible take on adapting it but at the same time all i've ever heard about the old higurashi anime made it sound like even barring pacing issues it just did a poor job hitting on the emotional notes that make the vn land so well even with some of its flaws, and i wouldn't be surprised if positive response to a new higurashi anime might make them consider taking a new swing at animating umineko as well

akio watanabe designs are a hell of a thing to see applied to my gang of blobby hand goblins though

The old Higurashi anime wasn't a masterclass or anything, especially the resolution episodes, but I liked it a lot in spite of that. The squishy loose style helped make the horror bits land with a real impact.

That trailer is too brief to take anything away from, but the first impression it gives is a suuuuper generic one

Re: Cutie Honey: About as horny as any Cutie Honey series that is not marketed directly at modern children is
Gurren Lagann: Pretty horny, but almost entirely around the orbit of Yoko. Some other characters get it a little bit, but Yoko is doing the Fujiko thing, except she's not doing it intentionally
Kill La Kill: 100% horny, and intentionally so.
Kamen Rider Fourze: Only occasionally horny. Like maybe five out of the 40-something odd episodes.
Ninja Batman: About as horny as anything with superheroes in it that isn't a live action Disney movie
Promare: More horny than the Gurren Lagann movies but less horny than the TV series

the resolution episodes are my favorite part of higurashi so uh, that's why i want an adaptation that does them better even if it might not be quite as good at horror

the horror in higurashi is cool but without being able to maintain the vn's very specific angle with how it humanizes and empathizes with its characters and genuinely wants you to think about them as people from multiple different angles even during the horror stuff... i sleep

obvs it'd be good if they can do both sides well tho

I caught the advance first episode of Brand New Animal and uh...

...did everybody start reading Blacksad in the early 00s/late 90s? Does that explains why there's all this urban furry hijinks going on lately? Zootopia, Beastars, and now this...

The story itself is pretty straightforward, seems like the hook might be whatever the protagonist's deal is. Have to say given the domino mask look her beastman form gives her, the end of this episode gave me a real "Batman meets Robin" vibe. Very cool bit of action, that. I'm looking forward to more, even if this episode didn't blow my mind.

also for those of you worried about how horny is, so far: not very (definitely less than Beastars)

i think the author of beastars made beastars what beastars is because they wanted to make beastars, and perhaps it is the same with brand new animal

i don't think it's. prevalent enough yet to even be called a massive trend on the level of isekai.

Shows like this come and go to be honest, and if anything inspired them it was probably Zootopia, which released in early 2016 and Beastar's manga started in late 2016.
