the manga should end before the anime gets there. it helps that the manga isn't dragging on and the anime is airing in seasons rather than endlessly.

Nipponophile posted:Fair enough on Mob Psycho. I didn't particularly care for it, but I know it's got quite the following here. On the other hand, I would certainly call Space Dandy forgettable because I had in fact forgotten about it until you mentioned it. It was a fun enough show to watch as it came out, but ultimately there wasn't enough substance there to make me want to revisit it. if the complaint you're making is that bones shows look good but don't have memorable writing how is it that the things with good writing are having the writing do the heavy lifting also i dunno what substance you wanted out of space dandy. it literally is an animation showcase. like moreso than any other bones show it's a project meant to give different staff eps to play around with. it's the thing i can understand that complaint with the least because it's just a show that accomplishes the thing that it sets out to be there are some forgettable shows in their lineup for sure but. every long-standing studio has some forgettable ones. this is not a bones thing this is an "even studios like kyoani have munto" thing. and like even among their less popular shows i don't think it's necessarily a mark of something's quality that it doesn't reach up to the level of a massively popular shounen adaptation. kekkai sensen s1 is a slightly controversial adaptation of a shounen that isn't really on the same level of popularity as mha and it's one of my favorite bones anime ever The Colonel fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Sep 22, 2020 |

rahxephon, wolf's rain, scrapped princess, eureka seven, ouran, darker than black, soul eater, zetsuen no tempest, space dandy, noragami, chaika, blood blockade battlefront, snow white with the red hair, carole and tuesday. these are all shows that were very popular in their day and that you can still find discussion about. just because we don't discuss them on a 40 person forum thats primarily concerned with currently airing anime doesnt mean they dont matter.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I didn't The second part of the thematic conversation Death Parade started is in Deca-Dence, where we very rapidly move from 'what is the problem?' (the gamification of the human experience by soulless, sadistic bureaucracy) to 'and how can we meaningfully fix it?' (smash capitalism, viva la revolucion). Decim simply hadn't yet got to the point where he needed to start breaking very large, important things to retain his soul - or, perhaps, the afterlife still existed as enough of a public institution to allow for some measure of humanity to still exist within it.

Well, I mean my question is, like, what would you consider a studio to have a lot of all time classics to be, if the studio that made both FMA and MHA (and a bunch of others) doesn't count? Is your comparison point Ghibli or something? I mean yeah probably FMA and MHA are a lot more successful than their other stuff, but like, that's true of almost all anime - most studios don't have a show like that! Also I think you might be confused about what anime studios do if you think the "writing" counts less somehow. Fangz fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Sep 22, 2020 |

Is that the shows where they put some VAs in a studio and just chatter and also like the episodes are like playing baseball in the living room levels of crazy? Unironically agree.

Fangz posted:Also I think you might be confused about what anime studios do if you think the "writing" counts less somehow. My point about writing is that the Fullmetal Alchemist anime wasn't hugely successful because it was a Bones anime, but because it was Fullmetal Alchemist. There are other studios out there that could have made an adaptation that got just as much discussion and buzz. Making a quality anime adaptation just doesn't seem to be as big a deal to me when you've got one of the all-time great shonen action series as your foundation. I don't know, I don't feel like carrying on the argument since it seems to be a matter of personal taste. Just chalk me up as another bad opinion. All I know is that looking over the last 10 years of that Bones production list, the only show I really liked was Carole & Tuesday.

Conterpoint: FMA only got quite as big and a popular as it has because of the multiple high quality anime adaptations. Besides, adaptation quality absolutely matters in how fondly people will remember a series.

I think some of the issue is that saying their shows were forgettable or not classics is kind of ignoring the impact and popularity of a really large portion of their catalog and that's not really a taste thing, you can dislike BSD for instance but that doesn't mean that it still isn't enormously popular with a really active fanbase. "I don't care for most of their shows" is a different statement and is perfectly valid, you're allowed to not like things

And even then Brotherhood was significantly influenced by the assumption that 2003 was so popular that people would be at least somewhat familar with the early material.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:s1 of chaika is one of my favorite fantasy anime of all time. Yeah it’s really good. My girlfriend and I watched it after seeing a panel at Anime Boston talking about anime and dungeons and dragons. Chaika was brought up because of its vibe of DnD party going on random adventures until the main plot creeps up on them. Also I love Ouran Host Club, one of my favorites. A friend of mine said he couldn’t watch it because it was “too mean” and I still have no idea what he was talking about and my opinion of his taste is forever tarnished.

Everyone wanted the MacGuffin because it contains great power. You probably thought it was the main character but actually it was his childhood friend the whole time. The adults were busy trying to kill each other so the rear end in a top hat kid powered by sharks ate it and got really powerful and now it's time for a boss fight.

Why did you leave out the part where The USA tried to nuke Seoul, but someone came in, transported everyone out of Seoul, and then used those nukes to form one mega nuke and summon a meteor to nuke a God?

Let me just quietly note that I think Brotherhood is overrated and I'm one of the weirdos who likes the 2003 anime better. Also MP100 is a better show. Also being good at picking source material to adapt is kinda also a pretty key role for the studio, one that many otherwise good studios can fall short on.

yeah frankly i'm disappointed dogakobo picks the shows they do sometimes. like, himouto! umaru-chan is maybe five episodes of good material stretched across two seasons, and mangirl was, if i can be honest, pretty pathetic. they're getting shown up a lot these days by other studios with a better eye for material, like kobayashi's dragon maid
