I'm not sure if i've actually particularly liked anything she wrote, but i don't have anything against her she's super prolific though, there are only a small handful of anime writers i'd actually know by name

dogsicle posted:i've seen people saying the characters are stereotypes and having 30 to deal with in 12-13 episodes won't work/a ton of people will die. sometimes people poo poo on Okada's writing, and for some reason the production company ran a crowdfunding campaign like a month before air date. the last thing i could think of is maybe they're thinking it'll be like Another. its obvs this is going to have a high bodycount because that's typically what you introduce a large number of very inflated, stereotypical characters for my mind immediately goes to total drama island or something where there were like fifty people and they set up who would be the 'main' cast while the rest all sheared away there's the mayoiga thread title, 'the anime adaptation of total drama island'

The dialogue is completely over the top and all the social commentary is completely on the nose. This is not a subtle show. The characters are unapologetic fuckups, and their choice to run away means they will simply repeat their mistakes. The milquetoast protagonist is the most hosed up of them all, and will set in motion the events of the plot. This has the makings of a black comedy. The question is, how hosed are the characters: character building messed up, or guts flying hosed. We will know next Ep. If no one dies, no one will die. If one person dies, a lot of people will die.

Namtab posted:It's a good show and Darth walrus is overthinking things Nah, it's silly as gently caress and it's nice to be charitable about shows, especially when they drop hints that they're aware they're silly as gently caress. I agree that it has the potential to be good, though, especially if Okada keeps ripping the poo poo out of her own Okada-isms, and since serious Okada can be pretty deece too, I'm also looking forward to Kiznaiver.

For some reason Mayoiga reminded me of Another, and apparently the director worked on both. This is a big plus for me since I really liked Another (from the creepy early episodes to the over the top anime Final Destination ending) so I'm hooked. Time to see a bunch of weirdo losers murder each other! I want to bet on who dies first, but that would be more appropriate for a dedicated thread I guess.

Like a couple of Okada's other shows, though, it could have used some tighter editing, especially in the second half.

Namtab posted:So, do you hate silly things? Because you're implying that something being silly is the opposite of something being good. Nah, I was disagreeing that I was overthinking things, because 'silly show might be a comedy' isn't exactly 'the Transformers films are about toxic masculinity, and Megatron is the increasingly emasculated tragic hero' levels of  . Basically, I think that if Mayoiga's going for campy dark humour, mission accomplished. If it's going for a serious psychological thriller, it... might have a bit of a problem.

Mari Okada is far from a name I trust, cause I can't really name anything I particularly enjoyed from her; three, maybe four eps of Fujiko Mine(?) and that's a big maybe; but can recall many of her works I greatly disliked before they were through; Anohana, Wixoss, Tempest, Fractale, BRS, the other 8 or so eps of Fujiko. Her particular brand of melodrama just seems to work better for some forms of genre fic over others. I can't really think of many horror things she's done, so time will tell what direction Mayoiga will go in. Not holding my breath it'll be good or satisfying so much as it will try(and perhaps fail) to be completely crazy, and Okada can certainly do that.

Okada didn't really have much of a presence in either Fujiko Mine or Toradora - the former was Sayo Yamamoto's baby, and had her fingerprints all over it, while the latter was an adaptation of a light novel series. It's her other original works like AnoHana, Nagi no Asukara, Zetsuen no Tempest, Iron-Blooded Orphans, and M3 that provide the best guide to what sort of writer she is. Just mentioning this because a number of folks in this thread have been going 'well, I liked Fujiko Mine...'.

Re:Zero looks very pretty, but has exceptionally bad tempo. Still, I enjoyed the first light novel, so I'll keep watching for now. Maybe it was just dull because I knew everything that would happen.
