that director's also directing new higurashi and the ongoing shadowverse anime so he's triple booked this season, maybe a red flag

Willo567 posted:Is it common for 26 episodes to be split up into two separate 13 episode seasons if they aren't an adaptation of a manga? it's fairly common these days for production reasons, having a 3 or 6 month break in between gives the animation staff time to catch up and make sure the second half isn't a production disaster. a lot of times they just don't announce the episode counts for shows at all and people figure them out from the blu-ray listings, which adds that layer of confusion when the show turns out to be split cour

after saying i wasn't gonna watch a bunch of seasonals this season i went and did it anyway Jujutsu Kaisen - i don't often do shonen jump stuff but this is very slick and in a thematic space I enjoy and seems like it might move with pace, the lack of which is usually my main complaint with big shonens. Sleepy Princess - was already planning to watch this one and it's exactly what i expected and nothing more, which is good enough. i think i tend to like these "one-joke" high-concept comedies a lot more than most folks, especially when they're slapsticky Wandering Witch - this episode wasn't really a knockout punch like the best stuff in this genre but it was good and i'd expect some of the following stories to be better now that the setup is out of the way. Talentless Nana - i was gonna ignore this in favor of the danganronpa guy's show since it looked like it was in the same space, but got curious and watched it anyway and it sold me harder than i expected. so maybe i'll just watch both and set myself up to get burned twice

Akudama Drive - i laughed when it suddenly turned into even more of 'extremely a kodaka anime' at the end even though i knew it had to be coming. this way overshoots the right amount of excess to impress and wraps around to feeling superficial but maybe that's the point idk

i get that the lesson of the episode is supposed to be 'small kindnesses done out of ignorance and privilege can lead to tragedy' but putting both these stories together without having elaina pay it forward in some way in the second one feels really off, like the show has abstained from making a clear point and just comes off as "poo poo happens i guess"

they're used a lot in tv because you need to hook viewers in the first episode and not all stories have particularly exciting bits in the first 20 minutes worth of material, so you do it to show the eventual stakes or set up a little mystery as a hook

yeah that was another Elaina episode I didn't really 'get', like there's a message in there about not considering certain jobs menial or looking down on them but it just kinda threw it out there toward the end rather than building around it. I don't think the show has a firm handle on meaningful episodic storytelling whether it's at the source material or adaptation level. kinda disappointing after the first couple episodes had clear messages that they delivered well, everything since has been clumsy in one way or another.

i don't think you're particularly supposed to sympathize with elaina, given that the main throughline of the series thus far is cautionary tales about privilege and pride, and she represents those things. it's just not been very well executed on an episode by episode basis.

Willo567 posted:What do they do for weekly series like Boruto? i think anime voice acting actually gets done after most of the animation for the episode is done, not earlier in the process. could be anywhere from a week to months before airing depending on the production schedule. year round series probably have a decent buffer compared to seasonal anime which often are only a few weeks ahead when episode 1 airs and go down to the wire for the final episodes.

there was a throughline of cautioning against prideful or selfish behavior but its kind of dissipated with the way the anime is choosing and adapting stories

i think there's interesting messages/themes buried in most of the episodes so far. in a couple cases not even buried, like the first couple eps. it's almost entirely an execution issue and not a source material issue as far as i can tell

i still actively like the jun maeda show through 8 episodes which is a new record. its a funnier comedy than his previous stuff and the emotional bits and scifi bullshit are better integrated so far. it doesn't seem like it has room to go as bad as charlotte at this point but i can't let my guard down
