symbolic posted:alright so the first ep of Train to the End of World is some extremely bizarre poo poo and is way too on-the-nose with le 7G bad but you know what, i love extremely bizarre poo poo so it's got my attention for the rest of the season train show opening with pushing the 7g button turning japan into abstract art then cutting to a sun bear talking with a capybara is so insanely my type of vibe i was pretty much in at that point. very promising start. also lol at i can't go with you because reasons

i also know little about og spice and wolf. i thought the setup was fine - there are much worse plothooks for your fantasy than the tension between paganism and christianity and hanging out with a pagan god, and i was feeling the lower-key vibe of everything on top of that. seems like it'll be fun to tour the countryside with that duo.

Nate RFB posted:It's a very lowkey story in general that basically lives and dies with the duo trading barbs and developing their relationship, with most drama arising from them reckoning with with how different their lives are going to play out between a normal human and an immortal wolf god. sick, that's what i liked about the first ep

Endorph posted:like this is the difference between an 8/10 and a 7/10 its just the 7/10 is embodying all the most annoying parts of modern 7/10s compared to old 8/10s. imo. i def felt like the first ep of the new one was a watchable 7 with a nice hook/vibe to make me want more so i see this argument i think it'd be really interesting to watch the two and compare them as the new one airs so i think i'm going to do that

watched the first ep of og spice and wolf while eating dinner the writing in the old first ep is more natural. the new one has a habit of feeling like unnatural exposition dumping when talking about events while the old one assumes you're smart enough to figure things out via context. this really shines through in scenes like where craft gets shown the silver, or the flashback with yarei vs the conversation with chloe. style-wise it's a little like comparing apples to oranges - the old one definitely goes off model some but has some neat stylistic choices that the new one eschews in favor of being more straightforward. they painted this really sick giant wolf wicker man adorned with flowers in the background of the festival in the old first ep. in the new one it just turns into like, a small cg wicker wolf decoration fluttering in the breeze and a throwaway shot of a floral arch. the former was striking, the latter really isn't. i don't think this is a nostalgia thing. i don't have nostalgia for the original, and i think they trade blows on art style, but the setup in the old show was absolutely more engaging and better written. it's really interesting because it's such a minor difference, they are so close shot for shot, but i was more enchanted by the old first ep.

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:I do think 2024 does solid work with the "Holo under the moonlight" scenes. this is the scene where I think the new show compares most favorably to the old one - it does a pretty good job of getting across the gravitas of being around a wolf god. the other holo scenes have a ton more personality in the old show.

the bartender using his godlike sherlock holmes powers of perception to make the perfect refreshing highball while uplifting music plays was very funny. also liked the banter between the two women in the office and their boss. kind of curious if it keeps focus on the hotel cardinal crew or turns into something episodic with a focus on patrons. seems fun, looking forward to more.

Pan Dulce posted:I stopped the angel show too. It was just the same old, same old. Was the spoiler about naked spear fishing pertaining to Salad for Eccentrics? angel show i gave a few minutes but i hated the style and then got to the like milk spill undressing scene and decided i had better things to do with my time i watched the first ep of salad and yeah the princess's guard woman gets reverse isekai'd also and everyone freaks out because she's covered in blood so she takes a bath and then spearfishes up some food. it's a dumb bit but when it's juxtaposed with the princess being a precocious 13 year old who moves in with private detective guy and gets really into detective conan it feels like it could get more gross and i'm kind of eh on it. the rest of it was charming and energetic, so that bums me out. also watched some other stuff: yuru camp: the backgrounds do look worse, which is a bummer because yuru camp's backgrounds really did a lot of selling the awe-inspiring feeling of nature. but the vibes are still there, and i don't think i've seen any part of a show or movie that does as good of a job at capturing the yearning solitude of being outdoors as yuru camp's quiet moments. rin's grandpa is the coolest anime character. wind breaker: this is 100% what i want from my dumb delinquent show. the vibe and characters were really fun (if not particularly original), and that fight scene was sick. also want to mention the sketchy dream sequence at the beginning was a really neat style choice also. big surprise for me cause i was eh on the pvs, loved this. a condition of love: seems like inoffensive shoujo but i wasn't really feeling the style or how it was written at all. highspeed etoile: insanely weird first ep. there's a little exposition dump and hologram idol concert at the beginning, then the entire rest of the episode is a tv broadcast of this near future f1/prototype racing series played incredibly straight. like, 15 minutes of this guy pits now, this person crashed, they hit their boost at the right time, they hit the apex. straight up watching anime IMSA with tron lightcycle beams for 15 minutes. it's all cg and the racing stuff looks...fine, the cars have some heft and sense of speed but they are avoiding showing crashes or turns much as that breaks the illusion. right at the end they set up that the actual protagonist for the show is a ballerina they recruited to start racing and the next episode is another race at a new track. i do not know what the stakes or plot of the show are currently past some vague insinuations. i have zero idea what to make of this yet but i'll be watching more just because the juxtaposition of the characters kind of feeling like an idol show and dedicating most of the episode to an insanely dry racing broadcast is so strange that i want to see where they go from here.

SatoshiMiwa posted:High Speed Etoile very much feels like it's trying to sell it's self as Umamusume but for racing ahhh okay i have heard of uma musume but i've never watched anything from it. does it get really in the weeds on horse racing the way that etoile does with its weird near future prototype racing? like i 100% did not expect how etoile just ended up feeling like a racing tv broadcast for 80% of its runtime.

SatoshiMiwa posted:Yeah, the races are in depth in Umamusume and it has a weird setting that the show plays up., It's just Umamusume is horse racing which means the races are short and the show (especially season 2) has actual creative staff so the races have style and drama and feel exciting unlike what ever Etoile's race was it's so loving weird that, if it's a show about setting up this property to be a big gacha thing or multimedia franchise or whatever, their introduction to the world is going this direction and not like, following ballerina girl around and introducing her and the core racer group and then having an actual race be in an episode or two when some stakes are established. i feel like i got what they were going for - like i said, it's like you're watching an anime try to do a wipeout or extreme g version of the 12 hours of sebring or super gt or some poo poo - but it's edited down to 15 minutes and it's an insanely dry version of that with zero stakes. like, why do i care that third place guy, who doesn't even have a face, is trying to lightcycle boost past max verstappen king guy and second place queen lady? i've watched the real version of this kind of racing and i'm baffled by the approach.

the perfectly legal free sites have functional subs for jellyfish. weird! girls band cry: this was fun. classic rural girl goes to the city plot. the failed songwriter with the jazzmaster is a lot of fun and the cg is pretty stylish. i didn't think it was amazing but i'm in for more. meanwhile jellyfish can't swim in the night: there's a lot of directorial flourish here, they do really cool poo poo like using the train as a metaphor for the lead's aimlessness and crazy time jumps/rewinds that are really cool. i wasn't into the rest of it - they're trying to set up this renegade artist collective with the main girl teaming up with the failed idol and also having some kind of commentary on how everyone's trying to be big online or have a social media side hustle now and how that affects the people making art. neat concept, the execution didn't land for me at all. on top of they do some sketch, leering stuff with the main character like undressing scenes, cleavage shots, and bath scenes that were definitely gross.

watched voice actor radio and mysterious disappearances, agree with what people have said so far. va radio's got a fun energy to it but looks kind of eh and i wasn't feeling the writing. mysterious disappearances is alright - pointlessly pervy but sets up kind of a cool mystery with hunting down crazy artifacts and the magic poems. idk if i will continue either. i got about halfway into the second ep of new spice and wolf while talking with a friend about it and i realized i wasn't vibing with it so i think i'm dropping it. the only shows i'm pretty sure i'll keep watching are dungeon meshi continuing, the new yuru camp and sound euphonium seasons, wind breaker, and train to the end of the world. i'll keep checking out girls band cry, tonari no yokai san, and bartender for now and see how i feel about them. throwing on viral hit later.

symbolic posted:beta thought process lol i just watched the first ep of viral hit and i think of all the stuff i've watched this season it's stuck in my brain the most, but idk if i'm going to stick with it it's about an outcast kid who accidentally livestreams a fight with one of his tormentors and it gets millions of views, so they team up to start a youtube channel about fighting bullies. it's all grotesque facial expressions and shockingly grounded street fights. there's curb stomping, hair pulling, a guy swings a pot at another guy's head. viral hit is incredibly visceral in a way anime often isn't. honestly i found it kind of miserable, i'm not sure i want to engage with this world at all, but it's definitely interesting. sort of curious what people thought about the manhwa.

GateOfD posted:The first episode matched it pretty well, everything was pretty much frame for frame. And yea its one of the more grounded ones. The author's other works involve korean school fighting as well, but throw in supernatural stuff like body swapping and ect. But this one is just regular. Its a bit interesting cause its like, yea the main character gets bullied. But he's not a good guy either. He's willing to take advantage of people he has a leg on as anyone else that torments him. yeah that's the info i need to be pretty certain this isn't my thing

i'm in the process of catching up on stuff i missed this weekend and i watched the first ep of whisper me a love song, which owns. there's a deftness to the writing that's laudable - they bounce back and forth between the two protagonists' viewpoints effectively, and they naturally handle the way all the different friend groups interact and tangle together. the end result is you walk in on two girls starting to crush on each other and their friends equal parts roasting and supporting their feelings in a way that feels real and is very fun. there was this throwaway moment, late in the ep, where the two leads meet up on the roof. they start out talking about a teacher who goes on rants for forever, and the older girl is just like "yeah, he goes off on tangents like that." it was such a little throwaway thing, but it stuck in my mind, because that's how conversations usually start in situations where you're hanging with someone new. i think i had the x teacher does weird poo poo convo a million times, and they captured that feeling here. a lot of romance shows can feel contrived in a way that this show's first ep really didn't, and so far (still need to watch a few other things) i think this is my surprise standout first ep of the season.

I legit felt sad about the ending of the most recent episode. i watched the first ep of this last night and was into it. it has a fun style and the whole setup with the rangers having some kind of contrived stadium show with the dusters after a ceasefire is fascinating. the extended bit where the dusters are trying to come up with a new enemy concept in a board room meeting was really great.
