Right, I got mixed up because Trigger did do the short animated promo for one of Dungeon Meshi's releases a while back.

Trigger, cyberpunk 2077 anime

:psyduck:

Hopefully Trigger knows it has a divine obligation to make something oversized, underdone, and puzzlingly dysfunctional. It'll be better on the blu-rays, of course, they pinkie promise.

Or they'll do a competent job and the only characteristic it'll share with the original property is that they'll both have been developed in a horribly exploitative work environment.

Isn't Cyberpunk 2077 based off of a well known property or am I thinking of Shadowrun? Maybe the anime is a result of some initially planned multimedia push to complement the game but I think there's an underlying IP that's there too.

It also was said to be finished months ago, so Trigger's probably not occupied with it now. The only thing I know they're working on right now is the Gridman and Dynazenon movie, which should be great, but it's also probably not enough to occupy the whole studio, especially not with how good Akira Amemiya is at time management. So, Trigger doing another anime right now isn't an absurd possibility.

It's based off a tabletop game that was the runner up to Shadowrun. Before the game it was primarily known for using photographs of dolls in place of illustrations in its most recent edition because whoops no money.

The OG Cyberpunk ttrpg was made in the time of charmingly lovely sourcebook images and this fits right in. It makes thematic sense, too, with the hyperreal facsimiles of dying ideas such as "human" or "person" being a part of cyperpunk the genre. That's why all the anime voice actors should be vocaloids imo, except Nick Cage. It is not relevant that Cage doesn't speak Japanese.

Honestly all 90s ttrpgs that were trying really hard should get their own anime. Especially The World of Synnibarr

i think if you assume the PV can be blown out into a whole series then there wouldn't seem to be much issue with it. i'm just pessimistic about that, esp given how brief it is. more generally, the series isn't really in Trigger's wheelhouse and their higher profile names have a tendency for looseness that doesn't line up with what i feel an ideal DM would usually look like. earliest rumors of the anime, if we want to pretend they have relevance after literal years, were of the adaptation happening at Madhouse. not normally an inspiring idea, however there's a particular high-profile director in that orbit (Natsume Shingo) who i think could make it work. ACCA is the particular comparison point for me here, as a beautiful series with food/travel/mystery elements that could carry to DM. but i also think we're seeing multiple great productions this season that could all take up DM well.

roughly in order, i guess
Dress-up Darling at Cloverworks - strong in character animation both subtle and exaggerated, along with the chops to hit DM's comedy well. their past work on Wonder Egg shows a competence for action and fantastical elements needed when it comes to monster battles.
Ranking of Kings at Wit - no duh, the team currently doing a mostly-impressive fantasy adaptation could flex to another fantasy adaptation. the work on backgrounds and conveying scale in this series would be amazing strengths to leverage for DM's dungeon. no shortage of action expertise here, and they've even shown off some excellent cooking.
Akebi-chan at Cloverworks - throwing this one in, since a DM where the cooking and expressions of eating are under a team so expert at conveying the texture of mundane life would be amazing. character and cooking animation is obviously a lock, but the setting and action could raise questions.

of course i'm not kvin here, Trigger may be sitting on specific names that would work for DM if given the chance or they may be willing to rein in their particular quirks in a way that works for the series. same for these other teams, like maybe Akebi-chan is holding secret action/fantasy animation monsters i don't know since i'm not drilling down into individual names and tracing careers. :shrug:

i dunno about individual animators but that team's previous show was fgo babylonia and their next is spy x family so i think its safe to say they are action-capable

Fun fact: the old animated Rankin Bass specials (as opposed to the stop motion ones) were done by studio Topcraft in Japan. One of the last films they made in the early 80's was a little thing called Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. So yeah studio Ghibli is kind of a successor to Topcraft after the studio fell apart, and there's at least an indirect line between The Last Unicorn and Spirited Away which in retrospect makes complete sense. :v:

Oh look, it's two of my favorite things growing up. The Last Unicorn is a pretty good demonstration of the concept of mono no aware, come to think of it, and other bittersweet artistic concepts/emotional states. I forgive Rankin Bass for every lovely thing they ever animated and claymated. I've decided that just now.

So I didn't quite know where to ask this, but uh, has anyone seen Space Battleship Yamato 2205 and how was it? I have been binge-watching 2199 and 2202 while building Gunpla models over the past few weeks and finished 2202 today

yeah, seems like someone saw someone's criticism that the crew got out too easy after 2199 and just upped the death toll by a lot in 2202, even characters that I felt had a massive amount of potential going forward *coughkeymancough*. And given how much of a threat the Gatlantis army was with their billions of copy-and-paste battleships and clones, I am a bit... skeptical that 2205's basic blerb has the galaxy getting invaded by a second super secret galactic army

They follow that up with some episodes about war refugees where their solution to the problem was we'll give you a house if you swear allegiance to this country and get to work, otherwise GTFO immediately which was also mostly bad instead of a downright atrocity.

Huh, judging by the boys' ages later in the trailer, one of the films might involve their reincarnated versions from the original ending. That's probably where the "re:cycle" comes from
