The subs for this are fantastic and really help nail the comic delivery in this show. Also, Doug: I want to rid the world of poverty and class. Kirill: Sounds badass. I'm glad for our communist protagonists.

Waffleman_ posted:Also I like that even though it's the classic buddy cop dynamic of hotheaded rookie and cool, wise veteran, it still feels a bit fresh in this context because it's an inverse of the dynamic Barnaby and Kotetsu had. It's straightfaced boke and idiot tsukkomi. Strange Quark fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Oct 2, 2018 |

Strange Quark posted:It's straightfaced boke and idiot tsukkomi. It's also nice how they just immediately like each other. Kirill thinks Doug is so cool  and Doug picked Kirill out as a partner and is totally supportive of him getting up to speed in his new job. It's just so pleasant.

the girl introduced in the stinger of episode 1 is the most Masakazu Katsura character design possible

Throwing the boke/tsukkomi dynamic into the buddy cop police procedural is brilliant. The clothing design in this show is absurd and wonderful. Hot take: I already like this show more than Tiger&Bunny. It is an Improvement.

AnacondaHL posted:Hot take: I already like this show more than Tiger&Bunny. It is an Improvement. Mmm. I am more immediately charmed by this than I was by T&B, but whether or not the show as a whole will live up to it remains to be seen. I think one of the things that made T&B so great was the overall emotional arc of Wild Tiger becoming a more serious hero and getting closer to the other heroes and Barnaby -- the sequence where there's an imposter Tiger, and the denouement where they have the showdown and finally break Barnaby's brainwashing is so good I get chills just remembering it. I dunno if D&K will manage anything to match that.

So, this is supposed to be in the same universe as Tiger & Bunny, right? Is it before or after super powers became a thing? Because, if it's before, I'm pretty sure the Tide pods are just activating latent superpowers that people already have

it's confusing because they can only act when there is evidence of tide pod use, but that includes super powers as if tide pods are the only source of super powers. nexts are born, not made, and there was never any indication that they were restricted to sternbild. i suspect d&k will simply never mention nexts, since their existence would mess up the show's entire premise and medication bullets wouldn't do anything against them.

I'm pretty sure this is a prequel. Agnes is just an anchor instead of a producer and has a different name (marriage?), and I think she looks younger.

I swear there were a couple of shots early on where Kirill's body was CGI while his head was 2D, I guess because they didn't want to hand-animate that complicated pattern on his coat. I don't think I've seen that technique before.

Yeah I appreciated that it was stated that than book could buy a lot of socks; solid rebuke on the selfishness of the situation, although it did slightly bother me that the union was rebuilding the factory without the clarification as to whether their demands were met.

Like, the bit where he's looking at relationship advice books and his landlady is all "If you want to win someone's heart, these donuts are pretty good!" and the thought of going "No, no, it's not like that!" clearly doesn't even enter his mind.

I love Kirill's comic book imagination. "I don't know what I'm going to do, but it's going to be amazing." I also love the narrator who gives him poo poo for it. "Even in his imagination he has no imagination."
