In Hokkaido, the far northern lands of Japan, Sugimoto survived the Russo-Japanese war of the Meiji era. Nicknamed "Sugimoto the Immortal" during the war, he now seeks the riches promised by the gold rush in hopes of saving the widowed wife of his now deceased comrade from the war. During his hunt of gold, he finds hints of a hidden stash of gold by corrupt criminals. Partnering with an Ainu girl that saves his life from the harsh climates of the north, they venture into a survival adventure to race against the criminals that seek the hidden stash.

also yeah bears/dogs/horses always look jacked up in anime, I dunno if I'd rather have cg bears or wonky hosed up drawn ones but will revisit after watching the ep

Ok now that I've seen it, I think the cg drama is a big overreaction. They just need to work on making the cg stuff blend better with the rest of the animation. I thought Retar looked fine and he's cg too, but since he had an outline it wasn't as jarring as the bear.

there are enough bears in the story I hope they do work on it and also don't end up with more weirdly out of place animals but I can appreciate wanting to err on the side of realism and not make a dopey drawn bear that looks like a giant raccoon or something

stolen from the season thread:

quote:

Q: Is there any part of the production that poses a particular challenge?

N: Maybe creating the bear with 3D techniques. Readers of the original work would know that bear in this work is an important animal. Since I want the bear to emanate a different presence than the humans, I undertake the challenge of visualising the bear as giving an unusual atmosphere using 3D. It’s because when the animation is hand-drawn, we can feel the emotions of the artist in the show; it’s also difficult to draw the fur sufficiently like in the original work. However, if we purely only use 3D to make the bear, there will appear parts that do not blend with the surroundings, so we’re still trying to figure out how to fit it all.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen an anime horse I thought looked right, and have seen way more hosed up dogs than normal-looking ones. I really don't have a lot of faith that a hand-drawn bear wouldn't look just as jank as the cg bear only in different ways :shrug:

anyway the bad bear meme is getting old so how about let's table it for now and see if things improve in the next episode.

I'm tempted to google the manga plot but don't want to spoil it for myself.

don't do that, but do read the manga

I'm a manga reader but I wanted to switch over to the real books when it got licensed which means I've been waiting so loving long for the official release to get to stuff I haven't read yet.

I'm in this horrible plot limbo where I'm ahead of the official manga but way behind the scans.

I think it's also definitely suffering the comparison to the manga which has so much charm. If this was original material people probably would be less critical (though the bears would still probably be getting poo poo on) since it otherwise looks decent, but blanding-out considering the source is a pretty big flaw.

Someone who has watched the new ep tell me if they've figured out how to do funny faces; I saw a screencap that seemed to indicate as such but can't watch anything right now.

Still working on S1 watch; I was kinda glad that the bit where the guy gets his face wiped off by the bear was mostly offscreen, I'd forgotten about that but it was rough in the manga.

e: although that did leave it mostly up to my imagination and remembering that scene so that was possibly worse :x
