rewatched the old Spice & Wolf series multiple times and read the LN, and still pretty hyped for the remake

i flagged a bunch of stuff as potentially being neat but nothing really stuck out to me as a must watch. as always i'll just see what i vibe with and what gets positive word of mouth. of all the pvs i watched the one i noticed that i haven't really seen people talk about it Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai - an ancient society of people who turn into crows seems like it could be really cool conceptually.

Wasn't feeling the PV and the (supernatural) court drama niche has been pretty full lately tbh. Raven of the Inner Palace has a similar premise going on so kinda splitting the difference between Apothecary Diaries and Yatagarasu.

i think the 'wariness' of 3d is largely unfair and born from bad association. its not like people use, idk, marchen madchen as an excuse to think 2d anime is bad, but the more recent berserk anime is used as a reason to think 3d is bad. its a little unfortunate when so much good work is being done in the space. people mostly associate 3d with cost cutting instead of as a legitimate form of animation, when most of the shows that are using 3d as a cost-cutting measure, its not like theyd look good if they were 2D. if the recent berserk was 2d itd be 5 frames of animation per episode.

cave emperor posted:this is pretty much my watchlist, plus torture princess and tomozaki-kun i love tomozaki but i also think it's kind of mid, if that makes sense this season in particular has been laborious on occasion. the episode with the multiple rewritten plot synopses of the fantasy story was painful, and some of the stuff in the tama/erika plot could have definitely been cut down. it's only kind of okay looking, and although the premise and writing are interesting, the plotting is usually pretty straightforward. but tomozaki, at its core, is using this kind of standard slice-of-life setup to try to say interesting things about social dynamics and how to be an interesting person, and it actually gets there. there have been a couple of plotlines or discussions in this season of tomozaki that have made me think about myself and how i interact with the world. that's loving cool.

Nothing immediately comes to mind in regards to series that were 3d that really popped because they were 3d rather than regardless of it or despite it. And given that the vast majority of all 3d shows are doing that as a part of cost cutting, why should one not make that assumption?

The original Spice & Wolf was made at a time when a lot of LNs got around 6 eps per book so they got through four books by the time season 2 was done (skipping one ofc) and the more languid pace was one of the original show's charm. So I'm definitely looking forward to the new show but there's a part of me that wonders how a 2024 LN adaption pace will do it.

I think it doesn't help that one of the most famous 3D anime studios, Polygon, tends to do pretty ehh work (especially with their lighting and character animation) despite being in the game for a long time by this point.

(very bad). i'm still going to check out GBC, it might just take a bit longer for me to ease into it based on that style but i have no preconceived notion about it being bad. if anything, watching the PV once or twice more made me more hopeful now noticing how fluid the more dynamic animations are

Probably how the mecha element is a big abrupt intrusion on a grounded setting, and different characters with different familiarity/buy-in to that react differently and it contextualizes the fights a lot. Beyond that it's not that similar, Bravern is pretty high concept and not personal and metaphorical to nearly the same extent. It's also way faster paced if that was a thing that stuck out to you about SSSS.
