Is the story of the hugto mutiny documented anywhere?

i think the basis for it is an interview kvin posted? along with him mentioning that the producer on hugtto previously had a ridiculous flop of a production so he really has like, no will to put his thumb down on anything

I don't think it's a mutiny per say it's just that Zako, Jun and Fumi pitched a show about the power of mothers and the producer being what he is forgot to ask questions as to what it means.

Much like how last season was pitched about making sweets and love and it was! It just took a long despair journey while reaching the end. And it also had Akira/Yukari too

There's a Deen -> Konosuba charm going on with Chio-chan, where the visual aesthetic happens to enhance the comedy and the series. Overall I'm happy the adaptation is going well enough as card-holding member #001 of the doubter-turned-believer fan club

I haven't seen episode two yet, but that gif looks like complete dogshit, and nothing like the charming expressiveness of Kobosuba.

To be fair I swear there's at least one story of an anime's staff going off the rails because of contempt for the source material.

To expand on that: Not all seasonal shows start in the same week, sometimes there are a couple or a few weeks between when first eps of different shows air.

Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (Chio's School Road)
Diomedia | Takayuki Inagaki | Takayuki Inagaki | Comedy, Seinen, Slice of Life | Manga | Jul 6, 2018
This is a story of a nerdy bookworm girl on her way to school, and yes, that's the entire premise, as she's not getting to school any time soon. Taking her "usual" route to school, it becomes an increasingly unusual adventure, and all the more ridiculous as it carries on. It takes an unpleasant sentiment many can empathize with, the feeling of tardiness, and brings humor to it—making it a hilarious situation to look back upon.

Revue Starlight had easily the best premiere I've seen this season, and maybe all year. Flamboyant, melodramatic, lavishly animated. The whole last third of the episode was just a treat. Very much on board.

Also uses HiDive's subs for the dialog but cleans up the hideous font/typesetting a bit. A group called Starlight Subs is also doing fansubs, but those aren't done yet.

ikuhara didnt work on it but the director (tomohiro furukawa) was a key animator on penguindrum and storyboarded the OPs and even wrote a couple of the episodes, so he was a key creative voice on that project, and they have the same art director. Furukawa also was an episode director on yurikuma, so there's a clear line from Ikuhara to Revue and it probably is a fairly big influence.

https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/729703182717333505

Here's another example of Furukawa's work, with its strong Ikuhara influences. He's not really new enough to call him a 'protege' of Ikuhara or anything, but he's a younger collaborator of his who's making his solo directorial debut.

i just watched it cuz someone in the thread said it was gay and didn't really expect it to be my thing or the thing it ended up being at all but the first episode at least was really good

if you're one of the absolute fools who likes utena but wants it to have more individually animated action scenes you should watch revue starlight
