Agreed. I think the only time it's ever looked good is Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Beastars, Dragon Ball FighterZ and I want to say one of the Blaze Blue games did it really well, but there's care put into them rather than just being a way to cheap out on the animation.

Those Berserk monsters are just distressing to look at.

Let’s make sure y’all stay away from Dorohedoro then because it’s another yikes for (cgi) animation.

It doesn't look as bad as Berserk from what I've seen, but I'm still giving it a pass seeing as how the only things the manga really has going for it (in my opinion) are its visuals and weird style, and I just don't need to see that in a format that downgrades it. It seems to be getting good reviews, but I know from reading the manga that the story just spins its wheels forever, so, eh... No thanks.

Dorohedoro definitely has a weird style for a manga. At times it reminds me more of a Western 90s indie comic.

Yeah, Dorohedoro has amazing art and a bizarre and wonderful style. It's too bad the story seems aimless and meandering as Q Hayashida doesn't seem to really have a plot in mind and seems loathe to ever kill off any characters or create any stakes at all. I honestly would like it better if it had abandoned all that and was just an absurdist slice-of-life in the bizarre setting she'd built. (Although honestly that's what it is anyway most chapters.)

Yeah, I feel like it started strong and ended strong, but there's a long stretch in the middle where it really feels like she has no idea what she's doing. When everyone is in that weird alternate dimension underneath Hole, it felt like she was just kinda shuffling characters around trying to kill time until she figured out where the plot was going to go.

Still definitely worth reading, though. What I really love about is that even in the most dire circumstances, there's still room for dumb jokes:

Arcsys are absolutely amazing at this. They even turned off animation interpolation so the characters look like theyre animated frame by frame. Smears, going off model for emphasis, all the tricks of 2d animation replicated lovingly in 3d.

Which Witchblade? From what I've heard, the original was basically softcore porn, but a recent reboot was more of a horror/suspense series.

Witchblade is one of those western comics that got incredibly popular in Japan which helped sustain it for a long time but it was also popular enough in the US that it got a basic cable TV adaptation in like, 2001.

It also got an anime series that was notable for the main protagonist being not just a woman in her 20's, but a mom as well. Which naturally led to the series being called "Milfblade."

There was an old animation vlog around the time Guilty Gear Xrd came out and it was amazing watching them go frame by frame to adjust/clean up the characters so they poked like loving trad animation cells.

Just amazing attention to detail and craft.

And the stuff like going off model/smearing? I remember poo poo like that from the sprite-based fighters, super vividly. Like landing a heavy on Blanka and watching him puke/his eyes bulge, or hitting Wolverine with Psylocke's super and,for a frame or two, have him look like someone put Reed Richard's into a taffy-pull.

Uh. Yes? In Japan, at least.

Even moreso in the early 2000s, and the author used the timeskip to redesign many of the characters to be even easier to cosplay.
