There are examples that can apply for videogames, such as the fake depictions of Shulk in Xenoblade X, or Square Enix's various fake-outs on Chrono Trigger sequels.

But, I'll stop here. I'm already the butt of the joke.

a new PV for ACCA:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KLcXHQZyls

designs look great and there are a ton of cuts in there from the first few chapters, so it looks like it'll be a straightforward adaptation for what little that's worth. love the focus on food, it's one thing i really liked about the bit of the manga that's translated.

only like three chapters are translated and it's basically about a chill dude, called Gene the Cigarette Bum, who audits regional government offices. without really spoiling anything he's given an assignment to travel to each of the 13 regions in half a year, while there's also some focus on a council of five dudes who run the whole thing and a handful of other gov't workers who aren't in Gene's office.

it'll be cool to see natsume work on something not quite as insane as one-punch man or the episodes of space dandy he worked on again, the only thing like that i've seen that he worked on was episode 4 of welcome to the nhk which, uh, sure was split between his weirdly stylized cuts and outsourced cuts that were actually just really ugly and off-model in a way that did not look remotely good even viewing it separate from the rest of the show

he has a normal surname, but gets called the Cigarette Bum because he's always smoking. tobacco is a super luxury item to the point that other ACCA workers are unsure how he affords cigarettes. so I'm sure there's something else at play there.

The manga is by Natsume Ono and I'm glad they're maintaining her art style, can't wait for all the whining to start about how ugly everyone is like House of Five Leaves got

the art in acca is different enough than five leaves that i think it'll be fine. nobody is toeing the "soulless eyes" or "too large mouth" lines. :cheeky:
but the manga is definitely loose and simple to a degree that makes it less visually interesting imo, so the color and detail of this as adaptation is like perfect for it.

I had no idea what you were taking about, since I couldn't see any way you could consider the designs in that trailer ugly unless you have a deep, personal objection to characters having noses, so I did a GIS of House of Five Leaves.

... dang. That is not an effective visual transition from manga to anime. Was Edo experiencing a wave of immigration from Innsmouth or something?

House of Five Leaves is great and looks cool and unique, I won't stand for badmouthing of it.

I didn't realize ACCA shared HoFL's mangaka, now I'm excited for it. And now I've watched the trailer, and I'm more excited for it.

It takes some getting used to, but I'm a fan of Natsume Ono's artstyle. It really does make her characters distinguishable from other artists.

yuasa adapting another novel by the tatami galaxy author

'A black haired girl is walking around the streets of Kyoto, from the night scene of Pontocho to a second-hand book fair in Shimogamo, then off to a college fair. The main character that has a romantic feeling for her secretly follows her around and looks for the opportunities to run into her in a manner that seems like a coincidence. Unfortunately for him, she is not interested in love yet so she does not notice his feelings. What waits these two characters are crazy incidents caused by individuals such as a person who introduces himself as a Japanese mythical creature Tengu, the god of second-hand book or the money lender in a three story vehicle.'

yessssssss

although: those character designs look so similar to The Tatami Galaxy's supporting cast that I can't tell if some of them are supposed to be the same people or not

And kuromukuro is pretty good! But there's no discussion, no word of mouth, no nothing. For all I know, it didn't affect the actual popularity or sales in any real way, but it sure feels like it just kind of vanished.

There were Kuromukuro raws releasing as it aired in Japan, the issue was that the people who were doing the subs for gg dropped out early and then no other established group picked it up, so a bunch of nyaa regulars ended up scrambling to put out a TL that started out pretty bad but eventually ended up decent.

Hopefully, whether or not Netflix insist on being idiots and only putting LWA up after each cours, it won't suffer the same problem Kuromukuro did.

It's a real shame since Kuromukuro was an extremely good show. :(

I'm going to have to pick between it and ReLIFE for most underrated show in the end of year thread.

You mean gg. Horriblesubs does nothing but rip from official streams, and they don't rip from Netflix.
