men are so obsessed with being the assumed viewer that even when they realize being the assumed viewer is the bad thing they have to post on the internet about how literally everything assumes a male viewer and bend over backwards to try and 'call out' 'male gaze' its crazy anyway, good show about they rocks agemder

PerrineClostermann posted:When I'm talking about friends and people, and not 2d bugeye aliens designed as otaku fap bait, I don't. also depends what you mean by 'andrognyous' characters. if you like this kind of character design its very influenced by 90s shoujo but if you mean the explicitly agender aspects of the characters writing-wise simoun is the only one i can really think of and that show goes in a very different direction with that.

Oh, there's also Kino no Tabi 2003. The more recent show doesn't play around with it in the same way but the 2003 show is cool if you dig that kind of character writing.

this anime is only 12 eps and it's so pretty. meaningstwhile in the time it's taken me to write this post, eight Harem animes set in a mmorpg have been released.*

lets hang out posted:well there's enough for a second season but only just. which is a shame because some of my fav gems haven't even shown up yet there wasnt enough when production on this was starting and they definitely dont want to commit to 24 episodes then get caught with their hands tied if the author gets sick or something

quote:The whole decision to use gender neutral pronouns for all of the characters came from the series creator. Before I even started I was told that they wanted to keep the characters essentially genderless by avoiding using “he” or “she,” which really only left the option of “they” because using “it” or something horrible like that was absolutely out of the question. so yeah op can you please edit the op, thank you. im not even being pissy it's just a sincere request for accuracy considering its important to the material and the authorial intent

It almost seems like something like Kongo and the Lunarians were both once humans - when Shiro was vanishing I'm pretty sure there was a couple of frames where there was a wisp of an actual dog and not the poofy goofy dog from the rest of the episode - but that seems way too obvious. EDIT: As for asking Sensei, iunno if anyone has, but it'd be pretty easy to understand if nobody has. We've definitely seen Sensei have a temper before, even if it was justified, and if you get exiled from the rest of the group you're basically Lunarian bait. Cinnabar can probably take care of themselves, but if, say, Dia had been out on their own when they used their broken arms as weapons, they'd have had to just sit there until the next wave of Lunarians came and got them. Even Bort would have been grabbed by the new Lunarian without Phos around. They need each other, so nobody wants to risk their place in the group.

Xun posted:Is it normally possible for an anime to be able to hire what appears to be a decent goldsmith to make merchandise? Like I thought anime merchandise is usually stuff like plastic figurines/accessories/maybe some cheap jewelery but not actual luxury stuff. It is some of the classiest anime merchandise I've seen but it's also waaaaaay out of my price range. More than that, this is kind of a marketing stunt for both expensive jewelry and the show, even if they don't sell much of it.

Wild Horses posted:manga is nailbiting as many others have said. Anime was amazing, but as people have said, it's hard to find a good spot to close the season. I hope they get a second season The series seems to be really popular, especially for having a weird premise and being based on a relatively obscure manga from a not-incredibly-popular magazine (the most popular thing currently running in the magazine is probably Vinland Saga, circulation of only about 70k, only noteworthy previous series are Oh my Goddess and Parasyte). It's gotten a lot of praise from the industry itself, too. Season 2 will probably happen, especially since a popular show like this will no doubt increase circulation for a magazine that's only really had a few anime adaptations. The recent Parasyte anime didn't really help, since obviously Parasyte was over by the time it got an anime, and the Sidonia anime was never huge.

Myriad Truths posted:But when they got the gold and platinum upgrade, they immediately shot up to become one of the strongest fighters, and all their personality issues vanished offscreen. Their personality issues didn't vanish. They've still got a lot of the same issues: look how they interact with the others in the last episode, especially how they tell Cinnabar 'Nope. Nothing fun.' More than that, they're still incredibly aware of their own shortcomings and still think of themselves as useless. Like how Bort asks if they're happy and they go "No. Not a single good thing has come of it." Look at how they interact with the twins too, "I wanna look cool for you guys," or the exaggerated reactions they have to Bort's plan. They're still totally Phos from head-to-toe. They're better in a fight and more muted, but they're still self-important, still tend to act on a whim, and still have no idea what to do with themselves. There's more wry humor to them than bratty selfishness, but iunno how you get the impression they're somehow 'fixed' or don't have any personality issues. If anything, they have more personality issues now than they did at the start. Even ignoring the PTSD, they're much more bitter towards the others.

Myriad Truths posted:Did any of those have negative consequences though? Particularly when it comes to being bitter and distant, I have a hard time counting that as a character flaw because so many anime treat it like a positive thing because the character is now cooler. And Cinnabar seems almost heartbroken by how Phos behaves now, seems to view it as a betrayal of the connection they'd formed at the start of the series. Also what anime are you even talking about? Pretty much every anime I've ever watched has a cool, detached character warm up to the people around them and get friends and stuff.

I will say that the manga's sense of humor feels much... dryer? Compared to the anime. Not in a bad way, mind, just that without the voice acting, color, and motion everything feels less like an extended gag sequence and more like weird little asides. That's probably the biggest difference I noticed tone-wise.

Wild Horses posted:also the fact that sensei shapes them to look like each other when they are born has implications. the more muted color palette and lack of VAs also contributes to this, ofc. AVeryLargeRadish posted:Dia has very feminine mannerisms so that's not too surprising. of course a lot of this is association with bort, who's their own complex thing. i think its interesting how the lack of gender kind of frees them from falling into simple boxes, even when they are playing around with fairly well-worn character archetypes. part of that is just good, rounded writing, Dia's made up of a lot of conflicting and contrasting parts that make them a more interesting character, but they are pretty well served by how the series handles the gems in general.
