Neeksy: Mar 29, 2007; Hej min vän, hur står det till?

I'm a little worried about P5's adaptation because, well, A-1 and how their P4:The Golden Animation turned out.

they share literally no lead staff. masashi ishihama couldn't be a more different director from seiji kishi and kishi wasn't even bad, he was just a pure comedy director

a-1 more than any other studio barely matters to its shows outside of the people it grabs, it's literally just a studio that contracts out staff so you want to look at that instead

Lotus Aura: Aug 16, 2009; KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!

Lupin 3rd 5, MHA s3 and Layton are pretty much no brainers from my perspective.

Definitely gonna check out Megalo Box and Golden Kamuy. Sound rad and legitimately enjoyable.

I'm wholly expecting Magical Girl Site to be kinda bad, but hopefully it'll be enjoyably bad.

ishihama directed from the new world, a story about weird teenage angst and society's flaws that expressed those things fairly well even if I don't even personally like it. He's also spent his entire career directing a ton of openings, including Bleach OP 13, occultic;nine, tokyo ravens,, and welcome to the NHK. I don't even like some of those OPs that much, but they show a clear interest and skill in stylization and visual language, which is something that fits Persona 5 to a T.

Obviously this doesn't guarantee that the anime will be good, but the director has a skillset that is very suited to the material. Unlike P4 Golden, which was directed by a comedy director who had already mined the material for about the best he could do with it and just had to go for another go around with almost nothing to work with, and half of what he had to work with (the Adachi stuff, the Marie drama) wasn't suited to his skillset at all.

That mecha show from like 2016 with the gimmick of it actually having 2d mech battles did, but they actually announced that it was happening and it was only like 3 episodes in.

That's a real shame. Maerchen was never going to be a masterpiece or anything, but the writing had a charmingly dorky and earnest streak to it. Deserved a decent production.

Plus, you know, always sucks for the unlucky bastards in the production trenches.

Space Flower: Sep 10, 2014; by Games Forum

that hurts to hear, it's been a fun show so far with a lot of legit heartwarming moments and an isekai-lite with a female protag and yuri elements is interesting to a lot of people. on top of that it sucks huge to see this get dragged through the mud when it should be a work of posthumous honor for Tomohiro Matsu.

its honestly not interesting in that direction. it got pulled before it really started showing in the show in any interesting ways. like, some of the shots in the last few aired episodes were weird, but nothing outside the norm for a b-list show. maybe it'll be worse when it gets back to air, but more likely, given all the talk about compromises, that itll just be a bunch of static shots of characters sitting around talking. shows that look incredibly hosed usually start out that way, like dynamic chord or handshakers. If something starts out looking competent, there's usually enough there to work with to keep it from backsliding into obvious garbage, even if incredible amounts of cuts have to be made.

like, girls und panzer had huge production issues, but that show actually looks great and you wouldn't be able to tell if you just watched it in one go nowadays, you'd have to look up the episode list and realize that the anzio ova is basically nothing but cut content and that the final battle took like six months real-time because of episode delays.

...Ah, so it'll look like Utena in its, um, not so good moments. Nevermind, then.

Thank you for being informative!

I mean there's always a chance it comes to TV incredibly hosed up, but I think they'd be more likely to just pull the plug completely or delay it even longer than air it in that state.

edit: incidentally, dynamic chord is a good watch if you are interested in something like that. The show's literally entirely outsourced and its like watching a show where every five seconds is animated by a new studio with no idea what the previous five seconds looked like, since that's basically what happened.

Strix means reused footage and the cut-matchcut sequences of characters talking that went on for like seven minutes straight, not that the show ever went off model.

You are correct, but there are also some impressively bad shots in it here and there.

Also keep in mind that I say this with all love, I recently put all of my anime in a MAL list and gave Utena a 10.

yeah i guess, but idk i think that stuff is still fun. repeated footage like miki's stopwatch, or Here's The Same Shot Of The Student Council But A Railroad Crossing Is Blaring This Time adds a lot, even if it isn't the most exciting. 絶対運命黙示録! 絶対運命黙示録!

M�rchen M�dchen is in the middle of the tournament right now, it should be full of battle scenes. I don't think they'd be able to make do with static talking heads.

Wasn't there some other anime recently that got cancelled after 3 episodes, then re-aired from the beginning half a year later, when they had actually finished it?

Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars

e: "The TV broadcast of Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars was halted temporarily after episode 4 was aired. The explanation for this happening was that there were issues with the quality of the series. Broadcast later resumed in September 2016 starting from episode 1."

I'm seeing the ep and well. Its as grim as it sounds. there's no sense of perspective so sometimes a girl just looks like she shrank while another in the shot looks huge. everyone's always off model. most of the animation is like, 5fps because there's just no in-between shots to smooth it out.
