The one that had Roah as the main character was okay but I guess it depends how you felt about him getting retconned to be more sympathetic.

The entire second half of the FOTNS manga was like that. It’s like Buronson forgot he was supposed to be the bad guy.

If you mean FotNS 2 then he was forced into doing that by the publishers and has gone on record as saying he just wrote whatever out of contractual obligations and barely even remembers it.

Yet again, people gotta stop cg animating on the 3s and 4s.

I'm ignorant of animation lingo and why animating on different beats would matter, can someone explain?

EDIT: I googled. Found a good video about it.

The first episode of Build Divers is out. It didn't blow me away, but It feels like it'll get better once all the characters in the OP are in the show. I'm especially interested in the shibari fox guy

1s 2s 3s 4s is the rate of animation, how many frames of the film (usually 24 a second) you are drawing a new animation frame for. 1s is 24 animation frames and 2s is 12 frames for a second of footage. Normally people animate on the 3s and 4s because doing 24 frames of animation for a full length production is nightmarish, but the neat thing about cg is the computer can do the in between frame work for you after you give it the keyframes you want. The only thing that costs is rendering time, not manpower. Anime cg though tends to stick to cg animating on the 3s and 4s because either the cg is part of a composite shot with normal 2d animation so they want to keep the same framer as te between the two elements, or they just want it to look more like regular 2d animation which is not super bueno, kinda removed the benefit of using cg in the first place.

the different mission types on display implies that there will be a variety to the action at least. So it's not going to make the mistake that Build Fighters Try did

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

Lupin III Part 5, along with being an explicit sequel to Part 4, also establishes Parts 2, 3, and Castle of Cagliostro (and assuming with that, Part 1) as canon.

I noticed we don't have a thread yet, so I'll probably make one after the episode's done if there's not already a general Lupin thread.

I thought Lupin didn't really have a canon. This is a franchise that's inconsistent about fundamentals of the main characters' characterization if you look at the big picture: Is Lupin a cold-blooded murderer, a Robin Hood-style hero, or something in between? Is Zenigata a genius thwarted by bad luck or an idiot? Is Fujiko a femme fatale or a plucky Disney princess?

That's not even getting into timeline issues: What years were the main characters born in? (You have to either apply a Marvel-style sliding timescale or assume an offscreen adventure involving a fountain of youth or similar plot device to keep the characters using smartphones in Part IV consistent with the Part I episodes explicitly set in the 70s.) Fujiko has a bunch of backstories that don't quite fit together. (Apparently this is because in the original manga, there were multiple characters named Fujiko Mine, which Part I combined into a single character.) Mamo, one of the few recurring true villains, is such a pile of inconsistencies that the wiki suggests, "This can be attributed to the fact that these stories may have taken place in different universes or that the existance [sic] of a time machine caused the space time continuum to crumble."
