That's not what I meant to say. I hope the amount of cases drops enough by July that some non-essential businesses can reopen (with social distancing), so that the summer season isn't delayed as well. I don't want all the voice actors or studios to go out of business/become destitute.

i'm pretty sure more than 0 anime will air during summer season, there just isn't going to be 50 like usual (and some will be shows that were cut off this season and not new stuff)

How about instead of wishing that people would be put in bodily peril so you can watch your Japanese cartoons, you hope that the anime studios develop effective work from home workflows to continue bringing the content safely.

Eh, that's not necessarily the case anymore. Makeshift studios and the technology to make home-bound recording studios fairly good is way more accessible nowadays.

That being said: Grouchio, please consider just how tone deaf your post came off as. People whose jobs are deemed "essential" are often placed at a higher risk than average. I know entertainment and hobbies are among the things that often bring joy to our lives in ways that other things in life just plainly don't do so with the consistency of those, and that your favorite anime/band/artist/author/etcetera coming back with new material is often high-reason to get excited...

... but not at that much of a risk. It's just not worth it. Not with how crappy things are already for a boatload of people working in a number of industries, anime-making included. It's not worth it. Losing friends to this pandemic has sucked hard.

I liked it, but I have a strong feeling that Trigger is going to gently caress up the ending like they usually do (aside from their short shows).

Gridman, I dunno about. But I felt LWA was a bit weak compared to the rest of the show, and focused too much on Diana and ignored all the other great characters.

-Edit I agree it wasn't terrible, it just meant that I'm not really interested in rewatching the show, despite really liking most of it.

it wasn't the best part of the entire show but it wasn't like, a disaster, and it kinda at least made sense to focus on diana since she and akko had the most central relationship to the show story

it's not like the weaker trigger shows where they just become a complete mess midway through and the ending just kinda limps to the finish line

Little Witch Academia kinda stumbled for me early on, but after like 6 or so episodes, I was all the gently caress in. It was so fun. :3:

The PS2 SAC game's actually half-decent too.

It's been a while since I played but I remember the gameplay being good and reminiscent of Oni, which is itself heavily inspired by GitS. The story is bang on for a SAC game, to the point where if you want another few episodes of SAC it's worth playing for that alone. I think it takes place between seasons 1 and 2.

I mean, Trigger's had eight TV anime, and one's BNA which is ongoing.

Darling in the Franxx, they're on the record as having nothing to do with in the back half, where it completely fell apart.

When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace was an adaptation, so it falling apart wouldn't be entirely on them.

LWA ended fine, even if it's not the absolute strongest part of the show because it didn't have enough Sucy.

Gridman and Luluco ended great.

So, basically, Trigger ending things badly means that two of their shows didn't end well, and one of the two is considered one of their weakest shows throughout, and the other was their first tv anime. I mean, I don't think that caution is unreasonable, but "Trigger does bad endings" seems to be based off a relatively small data sampling.

How did the back half of Darling in the Franxx have nothing to do with them, just out of curiosity? (Haven't seen the show)

trigger was just on franxx as part of the animation production, and the main complaints with franxx (throughout really) were always aimed at the writing. my understanding of the show's genesis is, it was a sort of passion project for the director and so that sort of criticism is mostly laid at his (atsushi nishigori) feet.

IIRC, Franxx was a collab between Trigger and A-1 Pictures (I think that the studio that worked on Franxx eventually ended up becoming CloverWorks? And they did FGO Babylonia plus Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai), but someone here probably has a better idea on which studio did what and such.

franxx's issues are just that nishigori never knew what the gently caress he wanted to write, something he outright admitted in interviews. so it's mostly a jumble of briefly interesting moments but it never coalesced into, uh, anything

i guess one of the more specific defining memories i have in regards to this is that the AX that Trigger announced all three of their new properties they handed out signed illustrations for the three, Franxx, Gridman, and Promare off of a ping pong ball raffle. Back then he couldn't have known, but the guy who got the Gridman illustration was so visibly disappointed on camera that he missed out on the Franxx one lol

Obv. not the case for a lot of people cuz that show seemed to do pretty well, but I was so down on franxx I wrote off gridman entirely until people told me it was good about halfway through the run. Gridman ended up being one of my favorite shows of that year and prob my favorite Trigger-associated thing after LWA.

Also Gridman's ending is a contender for top anime endings ever it rules so loving much.
