Just let yourself become a worthless person!
The first volume or so of Helck has a very weird vibe, so if the anime is hard to pin down that could just be the source material. It isn’t bad or anything, but I definitely bounced off it at least once.

I'm pretty happy with the adaption so far besides the usual "how long will this be?" concerns inherent to adaptions. There's an official English release of the manga volumes too now I might pick up: https://www.viz.com/read/manga/helck-volume-1/product/7312

Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure



Caught up with Summer anime yesterday and I have to say, while my first foray into GoHands' work left me grossed out at the future of anime integrating CGI, the second episode of The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses wasn't AS terrible and the story/art apart from the smooth, rounded CGI background is actually quite cute. The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today has such an odd premise that just goes with the weird camera angles and funny-looking CGI. All in all, interesting enough to keep both going.

Yeah, I don't know if it's like bad or anything. it's only been one episode. But it's a very incongruous combination of vibes to bring together in one show. Maybe they'll pull it off, maybe not. I guess I'll see.

It's hard to laugh when you've got this ominous sensation that Helck is about to murder everyone in cold blood, ya know?

Helck episode was good, glad to see we might get a competent, if not exceptional adaptation. Vamilio's (Vermillio?) and Helck's voice actors are both fit for the role which is the thing I was hoping for the most.

The other thing is I hope the anime ditches all the Piwi focus cause he sucks and never should have been as prominent in the manga as he was.

And it's even been good in a decent number of cases!

CG technology has actually gotten pretty impressive in recent years, the challenge is using it well. If you just throw CG people or mechs or whatever on screen it usually looks cheap, so you actually do have to use proper direction and have good scene composition and properly emphasize motion and impact... Which isn't all that different from the things you need to do in traditional 2D animation (though CGI stuff has to be handled very slightly differently). If Gohands has a track record for off-putting, bad looking stuff that's on them more than its on CG, correlation and causation and all that.

There's plenty of subjective ways to view the use of CGI in animation. The big one for me is in composition. If the CGI works with the rest of the image it's fine but if it doesn't it sticks out like a sore thumb.

My favorite Jank CGI cars were the ones in the old 00s Black Jack series. There's ones from I think an OVA episode which seriously looked like it popped out of an early PSX game.

And they have a prolonged car chase they focus on throughout the episode. It's very funny.

There’s logic to this. No one minded the cg in Blue Sub 6 because the anime people walking around and the cg underwater submarine battles were never on screen at the same time.
