Zandracon posted:Whatever majin bone is, here's a trailer for it. it looks like one of those kids merch shows?? It's another attempt to make a huge franchise by Bandai/Toei, its getting an arcade+card game tie-in. Basically its just another dumb kids show. Also, half of it is CG. The hilarious part is the original character designs are by Murata (One Punch Man) but that wont mean much in the end since he isn't doing the anime or CG chara designs. So uh Ping Pong should be sweet assuming Yuasa managed to find some staff to work on it after Dandy stole all his friends, a couple of the regulars are confirmed (team Dandy 9 is, for one), but Tatsunoko kind of sucks 99% of the time so hopefully they give him a decent animation team to work with :/ Yuasa was literally begging for episode directors on twitter a few months ago which is really really worrying but now he's back to only begging for animators so thats a step u--- oh god why JoJo will kick rear end, an outsource studio managed to leak they were working on episode 1 back in November so its entirely possible production is way ahead especially compared to the first 2 parts so it might even look great (ok, better). Love Live is the only idol show I can tolerate that isn't a kids show named Aikatsu so definitely watching S2. Mushi-shi S2 maybe if someone yells at me to finish S1 enough.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Is this going to be entirely in mandarin? That would be an interesting thing to do with an anime. These CMs are for specific characters; today's was for the character Kon "China" Wenga, who I assume is Chinese. I'm going to guess they went with Mandarin for this CM because of that. The entire show wont be in a non-Japanese language.

From what I understand its getting decently close to the manga so they probably want to end it before it gets too close. Also, the show gets really good TV ratings; if anything I'd expect it to show back up eventually when there's more manga.

ViggyNash posted:That's honestly what I think they should do. As awesome as KLK's style is, the budget issues are really apparent. Maybe it'll be their Haruhi and they'll end up swimming in money, who knows. megax can tell you more but anime doesn't work this way. Studios don't make a ton of money from LN adaptations due to the way anime is funded (production committees etc). Also KLK doesn't have budget issues.

Zorak posted:Romaine mentions that kawamori is still tweaking the mechanical design, whiiich is not a good thing when its probably airing in less than a month. Starts on April 21st, which is pretty drat late for a Spring show. Feels like a super rushed project that somehow ended up Spring instead of Summer.

This year is absolutely nuts in terms of big-name shows, even if a lot of them are sequels. Winter has had some of the worst overall sales of any season but Spring/Summer/Fall all have a couple insanely popular things.

Disk Wars is Toei's ugliest show in a long time which is funny since they specialize in ugly. The character designer is just bad.

The writer for Disk Wars is someone named キング・リュウ which is probably King Liu or something similar. There's absolutely no information about this person and he's never done anything anime-related before. Your theory may be correct. In happier news, Trigger has begun work on LWA2. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1311401276/little-witch-academia-2/posts/803825

The Devil Tesla posted:Toei is working on a whole lot of shows this season, and it's obvious that their animators are stretched thin. All their shows look worse than usual and Majin Bone is probably the least important to them. I haven't bothered to check but the staff is probably pretty good and could make something better, but since they're trying to get it done as quickly and cheaply as possible it ends up lovely. The director is really good, can't say much about everyone else. The first episode of Majin Bone actually had decent character animation in the 2D parts and looked quite fine, the CG just looks super out of place and cheap because well, its CG. I didn't watch episode 2. The most well produced episode 1 of Toei's 4 new shows is the Sumo one.

Murata. He did the original character designs, not the anime adapted character designs, and the chances of him doing KA are pretty slim.

I'm not sure it actually had keyframes to be honest. It had four animation directors and five key animators. Think about that one for a bit.

Eej posted:I'm told that Love Live is actually pretty good because it's an idol anime that doesn't sugar coat the profession. Love Live isn't even about the idol industry or professional idols, really. Its about a bunch of girls who find out their school is going to shut down at the end of the year because there aren't any applicants, so they decide to form an idol club and give some performances to see if they can attract new students.

http://www.sponichi.co.jp/society/news/2014/04/18/kiji/K20140418007998030.html Japanese Labour Standards Bureau concludes that an A-1 staff member who committed suicide in 2010 did it due to depression from being overworked. He was working 600 hours a month. This guy wasn't an animator, but a line producer - basically responsible for coordinating everything, sort of the unsung heroes of anime production. A-1 is notorious for having awful scheduling on their anime production but that is still an insane amount of work (20 hours a day, what the hell).

nielsm posted:Watched Mahouka ep 3. It's a really amazing show. It has so many things that could be so interesting, yet still managed to be incredibly dull. I stuck around after ep 1 and 2 because I thought it seemed things could be interesting, but it manages to just not make it. Is it the source material that's so bad, or is it more due to an incompetent director? Mahouka has good staff, the source material is just that bad. And yeah the whole passive regenerate-from-anything is just another one of his billions of different magic powers.

Eej posted:What do you mean? NGNL's anime adaptation isn't doing very well because it's not perverted enough to pander to the LN readers/otaku crowd but it's a little too much for the regular watcher crowd (as evidenced by this very forum). Which sucks, because it's great. NGNL is one of the most successful LN adaptations ever, actually. You can't just judge LN adaptations by the BD/DVD sales metric. It made vol 1 of the LN go from 7k sales to 90k, probably 100k as of next week.
