Oh to be a pokeyman on the resort island of Pokemon Concierge. Four 15~ min eps of chill times and really nice stop motion animation. A quick and simple watch and I hope there's more in the future.

'Tis Time for Torture, Princess is like a weird mirror-universe version of Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, if only because they're variations on the same bizarrely-specific premise. ("Fantasy princess is kept a prisoner in the Demon Castle; this is not nearly as unpleasant for her as you might expect.")

They're pretty opposite, Torture Princess is focused on food edging/desperation while the Sleepy Princess didn't give a poo poo about anything standing between her and a nice bed.

The first episode of Metallic Rouge is absolutely incomprehensible. And not in a good way. The way it's directed is absolutely bizarre with scenes cutting off with weird timing. And then there's the scene where Sara thinks back to where she met the titular Rouge wondering if Rouge is some kind of spy trying to get close to her (she is), but the scene undermines this by showing Sara driving by Rouge just minding her business on a sidewalk, stopping her car and approaching her which is where they first met, and this somehow convinces Sara that she Rouge is trying worm her way as a confidante??? That literally establishes the opposite. The red mecha approaches Sara and shrugs off bullets with no indication that it's threatened by them and then runs off for no reason. This, for some reason, convinces everyone that it's out to kill Sara instead of them wondering why it ran away when it could have easily killed her first. Just really incompetent storyboarding here. it is animated pretty well, but holy poo poo does this seem like it has some fundamental flaws.

the first bit i took as rouge knew sarah had a habit of bringing in strays (they mention this off-hand earlier in the episode) and set it up so it looked like she was homeless and would tempt sarah to bring her in second bit the red mecha has killed people before (they mention two other people who have died already) which kind of colors what's happening a bit honestly though i get where you're coming from, because the entire thing feels like they made a concerted choice to drop midway into a story that's already happening and it's not entirely clear why they did this yet - i think there's some unreliable narrator stuff going on with rouge.

For what its worth when I rewatched it in the dub I got a better sense of what Rouge was about. Whether that was because I watched a repeat or if the dub made some things clearer I'm not sure.

also adding into that first bit, pretty sure Jaron leads her into that by asking if she's let anyone new into her life, which of course is going to be her newest assistant first. the subtitles were a bit clunky for that so i was a bit confused at first too, but it's not Sara just abruptly going from thinking Rouge is intervening in her life to vice versa e: Southern Cassowary posted:honestly though i get where you're coming from, because the entire thing feels like they made a concerted choice to drop midway into a story that's already happening and it's not entirely clear why they did this yet - i think there's some unreliable narrator stuff going on with rouge. symbolic fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jan 11, 2024 |

symbolic posted:yeah i feel like the anime lives or dies depending on how its plotline unravels. definitely sticking with it towards the end since it looks fantastic and the action scenes whipped rear end, but that's the dividing line between it making my top 5 AOTY or not i was talking with a friend about it earlier and i literally said "this is either going to be my aoty or they gently caress up the plot later somehow, which will at least be entertaining"

started Doctor Elise, female surgeon gets isekai'd back to her previous life. From her plane crashing. Harsh, at least truck-kun is economical. Why do you have to take everyone else on the plane down with you just for you to isekai. Or maybe they all got their own untold isekai story offscreen.

I'm going to wait here until you finish the episode you owe Surgeon Queen Elise an apology for doubting her surgical prowess and selflessness.

It feels like the more interesting and unique show for Doctor Elise would be having her in the modern world being a Doctor but we'll see if doing the rare double Isekai can be an interesting story or if it's just overly complicating something that should be a time slip

genericnick posted:Eh, the red mecha wasn't there to kill her, it was the clown in disguise, no? Exactly, but everyone should have been wondering why this red mecha which could easily shrug off bullets and which had already killed several just turned around and ran off. It makes no sense for them to go "yep, there to kill me!" in that context when (as far as they knew) it easily could and was willing but chose not to.

It makes no sense for them to go "yep, there to kill me!" in that context when (as far as they knew) it easily could and was willing but chose not to. you have to realize that at that point neither the audience nor the characters know/remember that Jaron has shapeshifting ability nor is trying to get Sara to defect through illusionary use of it, so for all both Sara and the bodyguards know that was the real deal. i don't know why you think they have to automatically assume it's an impostor only trying to intimidate Sara, especially when they're all panicking. if, say, in a slasher movie, the bad guy's getting ready to chainsaw someone in half only to get shot at by the cops and turn tail, i don't know how your first thought would be "hey, that might not be the real Dissector of the Ozarks!"

What are you talking about, it's not a plothole that the characters conclude that when the killer robot shows up to menace you and then peaces out when it gets shot at, it's because it doesn't want to get shot at.

I don't think it's difficult to follow because it's starting in media res, I think it's difficult to follow because it's so dense. Like, look at everything it wants to accomplish in its first episode:
That is a lot to cram into 22 minutes (including credits) of anime, imo. And it wants to do all of that with zero exposition- all natural dialogue and visual storytelling. Personally, I do think it pulls it off, but I can imagine someone who's not paying close attention could get lost very easily.

Isura with its 'hero brigade' reminds me a bit of Rokka no Yuusha or Zodiac Wars, though I don't know if there be any deaths. The main girl is kind of very whiny and lame though (boohoo, my whole town and friend was killed, i'm jealous of this strong guy because if i was like him, it wouldn't happen)
