dogsicle posted:why would you describe juuni taisen as a trainwreck That may not be an accurate description of the work itself, but it's probably going to be an accurate description of the events it depicts. poo poo is going to get extraordinarily messy, and that's most of the fun.

Moltrey posted:[watches a well animated 24 minute program with perhaps an overdone premise but has potential] hmm yes, quite similar to a crashed locomotive that might have killed or harmed others Look, we've got a bunch of murderous freaks trying to kill each other in bizarre and gruesome ways. If this doesn't end in a hideous screaming mass of tangled wreckage, I will not feel that I have received my money's worth.

Wark Say posted:Man, upon rewatching Zodiac War's First Episode, all I keep thinking is "The Story is gonna show us that the Awful Boar Lady is right and Monkey is the worst of the bunch, isn't it?" I mean, the Big Brother Dragon just took his deceased younger brother's jewel like nothing, the Boar lady pushed her little sister to commit mass murder and then kill herself and Rabbit seems like a parody of Hisoka, but yeah, the pantsless Girl Scout is evil to the core. Oh boy oh boy. I think it'd be nice if the monkey-girl isn't super-evil, for the very simple reason that it's the less obvious way for things to go. Being more cunning than she lets on seems a given, but it'd be nice if there's some genuine decency there.

'Sleigh Beggy' looks silly, but does at least fit more with the generally Celtic/Nordic vibe of AMB's magic. 'Slay Vega' feels a little too Latinate. Speaking of localisations, 'Land of the Lustrous' is a pretty brilliant title for a show about living gems.

Spiritus Nox posted:Caught the first ep of Ancient Magus' Bride today. Not sure how I feel about it yet - but to be fair I don't think the show wants me to be sure how I feel about it yet. Chise and Elias' relationship/romance is obviously going to be the key to the whole thing, but however Elias conducts himself at home, the fact that their relationship started with him buying Chise at a slave auction means they're going to have to write this thing very carefully indeed. Elias is a decent guy who means well, but he's also an ancient thorn-demon with a totally inhuman mindset who's had minimal human interaction outside of his job, and he has no idea what the gently caress he's doing where Chise is concerned. Any creepy vibes (well, creepy vibes not involving being a skull-faced demon) are due to incompetence rather than malice.

Phobophilia posted:I like the aesthetic of Urahara, but I'm not sure I like the directing. There's something about use of pacing and cuts and edits that doesn't flow right, it feels stilted. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, other than that I don't like how the directing goes. Given that he's implicitly one of the enforcers of the 'no ladies allowed' rule for Makai Knights, I'm actually a little surprised that Zaruba being a sexist jerk hasn't cropped up more often.

VostokProgram posted:my impressions of the season so far: The only ways AMB can do something dumb are by (a) bringing in terrible anime-original content (unnecessary - there's enough material for two cours here, if they so choose), or (b) having one of Wit's notorious production disasters (possible, given the OP looks unfinished as gently caress). The source material is very solid.

It would be cool to see the Chinese zodiac personality types and how they correspond to the characters - the information I've found so far is pretty incomplete. For the record, though, Boar was an interesting take on her archetype.

kater posted:King's Game reminds me of The Lost Village from a year or so ago. Never finished that, did it turn out cool? Last I remembered was the main character running away from a Macy's Parade float, which sounds pretty cool to me. Lost Village kept its weird, bone-dry sense of humour to the end. The big plot-explaining infodump, for instance, was delivered over a lovingly-animated sequence of a minor, supposedly-dead character picking his nose. If you dug that, feel free to watch the rest.

Guy Goodbody posted:Second episode of Garo was pretty standard Tokusatsu stuff I like that Sword's dumb 'thank you for your boobs' thing seems to be an in-joke with women he knows well enough to believe they'll find it funny. Guy's a lot classier and more tactful with unfamiliar women than most anime womanisers. Given that it was created from a black guy, the Horror design this time around could have looked a little less like a demonic gollywog, but it wasn't a huge deal, just an unfortunate coincidence.

Nitrousoxide posted:Is Ancient Magus' Bride good? The important thing to emphasise here is 'horse skull demon'. Elias is really, really not human, and wouldn't even consider the predatory interpretation you're thinking of because he has virtually zero idea what marriage happens to be (or, for that matter, that human beings aren't supposed to be purchasable goods). It's basically a sweet little comedy of errors of Cthulhu and a suicidal teenager teaching each other to be more human than the kind of awful human subculture they live and work with.

Phobophilia posted:C'mon dude, all horrors look like demented monstrosities, there would have been nothing that could have not been misconstrued. The horror this time looked like something that ran ridiculously fast, the victim/horror of the week was characterized well pre-horrorification, there were no stereotypical cultural touch-stones that could have been exploited to induce irrational fright in the audience. I don’t think the pitch-black skin and bright red lips were mandatory, though. That was the slightly unfortunate bit. I mean, it’s not like Horrors even have to have faces, let alone ones with those particular connotations.

Actually, come to think of it, which recent-ish shows have gone completely, hideously sideways after a not-terrible start? I know a lot of goons got mad about Kuma Miko, for one, and Virgin Soul did have the all-consuming Sexy Anime Hitler romance arc.

Endorph posted:it's definitely way below par but like, symphogear season 1 looks more hosed than that in places and that looked totally fine on the blu-rays and managed to pick itself back up for the finale. just because might get worse, based on what been reported of its production, but I don't think it's the end of the world or anything. I think the worst-case scenario is probably a Wizard Barristers thing, where the total visual breakdown actually impedes the show’s efforts to tell a comprehensible story (not that WB’s story was all that comprehensible to begin with, mind you, but you catch my drift). Yeah, that can be fixed on DVD, but it’ll also totally ruin the initial broadcast experience.
