golden kamuy has a nuanced bear stance. bears are powerful creatures and whether they are fighting with you or against you

always respect them

and sometimes eat them

It looks better in motion than in screenshots. Still clashes pretty badly with the art tho.

i can’t remember who was asking why players in ggo don’t just use speed hacks all the time and it’s cause they use a strength/agility system so if you want to use anything over a smg/sword/pistol your speed is weakened. also did anyone feel like megalo box looked ugly video quality-wise? like the style is good but it feels like a really bad dvd rip

According to the Sakuga Blog post on the first ep, the production team is deliberately downscaling the show to something like DVD quality and then upscaling it back to HD, which is why it looks like the early-2000s. That's loving amazing.

Yeah IIRC it only works for the protagonist because her avatar is so tiny, and you can't customize your avatar for some reason I can't remember, so few people can get away with a pure agility build. Which is ridiculous for other reasons you're probably thinking of right now but that's just continuing the tradition of none of the games in SAO making any sense to people who actually design or play games.

This is probably all going to be explained in episode 2 when it goes back to the actual beginning of the story.

we need to intentionally make our shows look worse in order to nostalgia pander

at least the weird scanlines in kino 2003 were just trying to make the whole show seemed like half-remembered events and not just random downsampling to emulate some transient technological issue

it looks a little better but only a little; it's still really noticeably cg and very ugly. episode was still good but I'm a little disappointed that they did this with the animals

I don't think this is pandering, unless you consider anything deliverately low-fi pandering. I think it's kind of cool to go for a visual style that isn't crisp. I don't think the down-and-up-scaling is a very good solution to their problem, though. (I've only watched a couple clips, though,so don't take my opinion too seriously.. yet)

the article mentions a similar but better execution of the cel aesthetic in Tiger Mask W's composite for character designs so idk, the Megalo Box stuff really puts me off in comparison.

Couple things:

- I don't think MEGALO BOX is specifically trying to look like cel animation, it really does feel like it's trying to fit into the early 2000s.

- I think downscaling it really does fit the gritty mood they're going for, all the ruined technology and violence and all that. It would feel a lot different in crisp resolution or with some kind of effect on top. It also activates the part of my brain that watched Cowboy Bebop on DVD ages ago and that rules.

- Upscaling it back is kinda bleh but it still gets the effect across. I hope they pull something where suddenly it's 1080p.

- The show is still great even if you don't like the effect.

- It rules that someone was able to try something so nuts.

I hope Creature Family Days gets subbed soon, it seems like a sweet 15 minute show but apparently never got picked up for streaming anywhere. This week the family tried to have dinner at a restaurant and well, they work it out eventually :3:

I watched the first episode of Uma Musume expecting to like it but it sat poorly with me. The girls as horses thing made me more uncomfortable than I expected. I liked the character's antics and want Special Week to accomplish her dream, but then there'd be a scene where the trainer just felt up Special Week in public like it was fine, or one of the character's dehumanizing names would be said, or there's that girl who is wearing a bridle, and it just felt weird

FWIW, Trainer-San's actually pretty decent in episodes 2 and 3.

The names or horseracing framing device are probably here to stay tho

Yeah!

I'm really happy with Hinamatsuri's production quality, and while the pace is fairly brisk I think that it works well and keeps the jokes snappy. I can't wait for the other character arcs because the "side" characters are really what carry the manga after the first few chapters.

The bartending arc, I can’t wait.
