Jellyfish episode 1 was also good. Kinda of a similar vibe to Girls Band Cry but very different as well

Sindai posted:Tonari no Youkai-san: Oh cool one of those "wait, I read some scans of this obscure manga years ago and it was fantastic" moments. Yeah. It was a great manga but scans were dropped for whatever reason. Also it was fairly slow place iirc, but that's the vibe it's going for which is fine. I wanna find out what kind of ayakashi the car faced thing is though. Have a cucumber horse btw

Jellyfish ep1 was pretty strong and ended on a good hook. Pretty modern show, everyone so hooked on their smartphones. Lots of egosurfing and googling. Looking forward to the artist one getting some confidence and just finding a path and seeing the various members improve on their interest and talents together. Liked the halloween costumes. Along with Astro Note, this season looking good on original shows.

Can't seem to get the hang of the new Bartender anime. The 2006 anime was, apparently, a strange adaptation, but drat the soundtrack was amazing, and without a similar soundtrack it's just... perhaps slightly above average run of the mill anime. For some anime the overall feel and tone seem to matter much more to me than anything else, and soundtracks are an integral part of that. The later Hellsing OVAs looked great, but the first series had such a memorable OST that I couldn't help but always feel like there was something missing. It'd be like watching Mushishi or Cowboy Bebop with a different soundtrack, or Apothecary Diaries without Aoi Yuki, or Land of the Lustrous without that fascinating combination of 2D/3D. New versions with different music might be objectively good, but those tracks are just not what my brain associates with Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, or in this case Bartender. It's an unfair comparison, because if you're making a new version you'd probably prefer to try new things rather than following the exact same steps and tone. But Bartender was what got me into trying cocktails, and if a Bartender anime doesn't come with a soundtrack that I'd play while sipping a whiskey, then it's just not hitting the right spot.

Girls Band Cry started off pretty strong. Fun and funny and a lot of heart. I thought the animation quality was a little variable -- sometimes it had that kind of stiff feel that some CG stuff has, but often it was quite impressive to me. They definitely take advantage of a full 3d process and really do some neat stuff with it at times.

watched the first ep of Jellyfish, expected great stuff since Doga Kobo is one of my favorite studios in terms of sheer style and was not disappointed. visually gorgeous with some incredible scene direction e.g. a lot of slow panning camera shots during convos, Mahiru's flashbacks intertwining with her in present day, and the sweeping angle shots during Kano's performance. the general plot isn't anything standout especially with Girls Band Cry mirroring it just this season, but it still feels weirdly unique? part of which is probably it being a general artist collective of sorts rather than a band but i think the aforementioned scene direction really makes it stand out too, almost feels cinematic at times. if they can eliminate the cringe fanservice SC mentioned then this is going to give fierce competition to my favorite anime of the season later on will be checking out Tonaro no Youkai-san tomorrow e: also watching the end credits of Jellyfish and maybe i'm misreading but did CloverWorks, SHAFT, and ufotable all have guest animators in this? because if so, drat, it shows

its done by the same studio that did Oshi no Ko, so they do have a track record on quality, so it isn't out of nowhere either.

passing on both the spy shows. Mission: Yozakura Family and Fable. Not interested in the character cast setup of Mission. And I watched the jdorama of Fable and a few chapters of the manga, and the anime is just following the same thing, but what the hell, everything is so dark, I can barely see anything when its night time in the show. this is the lighting whenever it turns night or they're in a dim room. This is what half the episode looked like.  Picking up Aristocrat with Appraisal isekai, and jumping back on Euphonium

Jellyfish is the only new thing I've tried so far, a very pretty, very showy premier, and a very direct story about artists getting together and uplifting each other. Its dramatic instincts are a bit juvenile, which leaves me wondering what to expect going forward, and all the ways it's stunning kinda make all the more awkward how fanservicey it is.

Arc Hammer posted:I hope that someone scrambles to license Girls Band Cry before next week like what happened with Bravern. The clips I've seen look nice, animation sorta reminds me of DreamWorks TV show spinoffs of their movies, oddly enough. Not a bad thing though, I like the character animation. Looks like Mysterious Disappearances is also not licensed for streaming. Cat yes getting some business this season, perhaps.

Wind breaker: great energy, seems like it’ll be pretty straightforward but that’s alright. I liked the way the tightrope scene at the start looked. Think I’ll stick around for this one

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. Was not expecting that kind of story beat in the show going in blind, though of course it remains to be seen where they take it. I’m a sucker for a bit of melancholy in summer though. very much down for more

It's a great manga, people should check it out if they don't mind spoiling the anime.

Studio Apartment Angel: Having a cute girl living with you means that you have someone who can cook dishes for you and clean the room while you're away. You just need to buy a drat lock for the bathroom door. I don't like the MC's panicked over-the-top reaction toward nearly every situation, though. Blue Archive: I used to play this before. Unfortunately, the game eventually got so big I don't have enough memory to store the game anymore. This seems like a faithful adaptation of the game. I even got nostalgic hearing the remixed version of the game's OST. It's just that it skipped the prologue segment, so the story starts at Volume 1. Maybe the prologue is the next episode?

Tonari no Youkai-san was the one i listed in my first post as the one i felt like i'd be most likely to drop after watching PVs but after the first ep i don't know if i will. nothing that wowed me but i like the concept and it almost weirdly to me had a western slice-of-life/"show about nothing" vibe? i don't think i can really explain it but the viewer getting thrown into a small-town setting with all these different characters just gave me that feeling. granted the end of the episode kinda veered off from the mundane but in a way that may benefit it. overall, good stuff
