Basically a more coherent preview of that upcoming anime movie about the dancing guy with the extra long limbs.

I just can't believe we're getting a Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer anime. Do we know who's animating it? Is it Trigger? I don't think we know.

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.

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.

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.

The manga is good, for what it's worth.
