I think the animation is good. What's bad about it? Feel free to teach me how to appreciate animation properly, if that's an issue here.

Edit: Admittedly this may be the wrong thread for it.

PV for Ore Twintail. It doesn't look as trashy as I feared, and the villain is apparently a big toku looking guy with monster minions and combatants.

I dunno, it looks about as trashy as I expected. I guess I might talk myself into watching the first episode.

Fifteen second promo for Chaika the Coffin Princess Season 2, now with a very excitable sounding Chaika. And a release date I suppose: October 8.

There are people in ADTRW who think MD Geist has really good animation, I'd just ignore it

Man, I really wanted to like the series of Sidonia, but the lovely 3D washed whatever (little) character was in the manga away. The individuality of the mechs was completely lost, and characters became super samey with their generic faces and canned animations.

Anyway, I watched all of Chaika over the last few day. I was surprised I hadn't really seen it being talked about, so I guess it was aired earlier than last season? Pretty fun fantasy adventure show! Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Those gifs were still pretty "eh." Just because they're better than the rest doesn't mean they're good. I love MD Geist and even I don't pretend it has good animation.

From a historical perspective however they're pretty neat! You can see some elements of what those animators would later refine in their style.

Especially since that stuff is from the early stage of their careers; Obari was only 20 years old when he did that stuff.

Because they were all unique and special in the manga!

And as for good animation, well, I can bet you this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw could have been done in 3D, just nobody (in japan) has done yet, also lol MMD.

Can someone who's read the manga say whether it's related to Penguin Drum in any way, or was the original name for the prototype just a marketing stunt?

I'll watch it either way, but I'm curious.

There was only one chapter (I'm not sure if that's just what's translated or in general) but so far it's not related to Penguin Drum.

Holy poo poo, I just finished the manga, Parasyte and I cannot wait for the anime adaption. My husband and I spent to entire weekend reading it because it was so cool. It had it's eh moments but it was all around a great read and I hope the anime does it justice. It's not going to be a 12 episode anime I hope.

I Failed At Anime 2022
I really thought about doing a re-read of the Parasyte manga because it's been years since I read it and can't remember a thing about it, but in the end decided I'd rather watch the anime as a more or less fresh look and not have the manga hanging over it for comparison.

I was using the term show very vaguely. And i know when it came out. Im just... surprised to see that its a premise that is common enough for more than one Shounen-ai "production" to use it.

Yeah I've never heard of television viewers watching the same thing repackaged over and over again.
