I think it’s better than Demon Slayer, for example, but I didn’t love it more than jujutsu Kaisen, although it’s possible another season could bump it up in the ranks. Watch their shorts shows, Space Patrol Luluco and Infernal Cop. You can also watch Panty and Stocking, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which are both Gainax shows, but a lot of them have the same staff as Trigger. Also, yes, I'm aware of Trigger making Dungeon Meshi, but that wasn't a result of the success of Cyberpunk.

Guren Lagen has been on my to do list for a few years, that’s an easy pick up! Thanks for the rec, I’ll try that and Inferno Cop because the image of a hell-cop is kind of funny to me.

Little Witch Academia is probably Trigger's best full-length original show. The SSSS series are excellent if you want to see a veteran tokusatsu writer taking advantage of their signature animation style.

It really is cool this show was so good and popular, that it washed away the sins of the broken launch and weird slap fight going on about the game. Never scene side content like this do that before, especially a cartoon.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I really hope the success of the anime gets Trigger to make more licensed stuff (as long as they don't take in too much work). This shows that Trigger works really well with a structured and well planned out story. There was apparently a lot of creative “clashing” between the studios, but Trigger usually got its way (not just wrt Becca).

SniperWoreConverse posted:In the context of the anime Adam is not a cyberpsycho -- the vibrating eyes motif. Imo because he's himself he doesn't have that problem. Becoming what he is fixed him. The vibrating eyes is a visual que to the audience that the character is disassociating. When we see it with David and Maine it comes with hallucinations. Really the only difference with Adam is that he doesn't disassociate, and can channel is psychosis.

Maybe? I guess for him it is a kinda theoretical argument at best. Might as well debate angels on the head of a pin or whatever -- what Smasher has going on internally is interesting but in the end it's not really gonna matter. He's still going to do ultra violence every chance he gets. I got a real tabletop vibe from the way the crew's gigs played out, I wonder if they literally ran a campaign to come up with or double check the plot or something

The idea of poles and Japanese arguing over a loli character design is more tasty brain candy than reading emails, zoom calls and staff meetings hashing out the particulars

I've been digging deep into the game since getting it last weekend. The show and the game both have very different strengths and focuses. BDs do come into play in the show a fair bit but in the game it's a whole feature for the investigations that gets BDs fleshed out in a different way. The game also gets to examine certain elements of Night City in far more detail than the show, especially the horrors that sex workers have to deal with, from what I've played. The show setting its focus entirely on the Edgerunner lifestyle means that its focus is narrower than the game and gets into that side of things more than the broad brush of the game. V is still an Edgerunner but as a player character V is better suited to let us view more of NC than David. David gets more time with his crew and a group dynamic than V's one on ones with individuals across the social spectrum. They both feel related, but quite different and not really a replacement for each other. A good way to show the various means to explore a setting.

He's still going to do ultra violence every chance he gets. The big thing is cyber psychos do ultra violence even when they don't want to, and it starts happening to everyone around them. You can see it especially when it gets bad with Maine and he hurts the people he loves. Meanwhile Adam Smasher always inflicts ultra-violence on non-Arasaka targets, and he manages to not murder Arasaka executives despite constantly being around Arasaka executives well enough that they've kept him around for decades.

Rinkles posted in the Cyberpunk 2077 thread with a bunch of interviews about the creative process between CDPR and Trigger during production. The show was originally going to use more music from the game but they were concerned that the songs couldn't properly match what was being shown in each scene, which is why Akira Yamaoka was brought in to compose an original soundtrack for the show. It's funny then that two of the three standout tracks in the show came from the game and in spite of concerns that the soundtrack wouldn't match, they're perfect for the scenes they're featured in. And the third came from the ED that was done separately. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Sep 23, 2022 |

Went back to the first episode and it's pretty amazing how it manages to jam pack so much worldbuilding into 24 minutes to tell you just how hosed up things have become while also showing how people endure in such a world. Cyberpunk is what happens when we look at the bottomless chasm of corporate hell future yawning before us and we decide to say gently caress it, put our foot on the gas and ramp off the cliff edge leaving the poor saps standing for back with the bill. We get a terrible school system, privatized tiers of Healthcare, failing public services, accusations of prostitution (which is very common in NC), class based bullying and debt debt debt debt debt.

People who think themselves smarter and funnier than the plebs, while being the most mundane, most incel mother fuckers to ever post. I am not saying Kaiser Mazoku is such a person, they just seem like such a person. That sounds like genuine enjoyment to me. There's something very fun about dumb future slang, and Batman Beyond is a good show, so it being the point of comparison suggests positive things.

Really enjoyed the show. Overall i really really liked the first 5 episodes, but from episode 6 it felt a bit rushed and disjointed, like they realised they only had 5 episodes left and needed to hurry through everything to get through the material. Maine's Cyberpsychosis was really well done but it felt like it came out of nowhere, like i'd skipped an episode. The plotline with Arasuka being interested in David felt undercooked as well, the way it ended up had me thinking "Is that it?". Overall felt like it could have down with 2 or 3 more episodes. The whole ending sequence from David activating the bullet time in the tower was really well done. I got a bit emotional about it but didn't full on cry, i think because while the direction and music was great i didn't fully believe their relationship. At the point where she falls for him in episode 4 i didn't really buy it with the apparent age gap (how old was she meant to be?). If it was after episode 6 i think it would have made more sense after their shared trauma of everything that happened there. Again i think having a couple more episodes would have helped. The other thing was that i felt it needed a scene towards the end where David was willing to consider downgrading but in the end wasn't able to once Lucy was in danger. I think it would have made the tragedy stronger, compared to him just being a bit of a dumbass who made his own bed due to his stupidity/arrogance. One other thing, does anyone else feel like looking back the scene where Lucy rides David's gurney was weirdly out of place and doesn't match the rest of her character? I thought it was a cool scene in itself but looking back at it it's kinda weird.

Oh also the soundtrack was great. How much of it was from the game and how much was original? I think the show really benefited from having the ability to use the game's assets. Not only the huge soundtrack, but also a lot of the backgrounds seemed like they were draw overs of places in the game and just that the world was already fleshed out with all the designs and concept art. I feel like having all that work already done must have really helped because it felt like they could do so much more than usual.
