I Failed At Anime 2022
Tabi Machi Late Show was a nice little story, kinda like watching a josei manga in (semi) motion. It was easier to just listen and focus on the subs and sort of absorb whatever image was on screen peripherally than to watch normally, but since there's only going to be 4 and they're short I'll probably watch the rest.

Wow, I'm not saying the original Komugi-chan was a beloved classic or even very good, but the reboot took out anything vaguely interesting or entertaining about it. Like there's not a trace of the original Mugi's personality there, they just made her a generic genki idol instead of a selfish spoiled brat who's only good point was rolling with the punches while the show poo poo on her constantly.

Also it was an actual magical girl parody and not this weird earnestly dumb thing the reboot is trying to be. Now I'm doubly confused why they even bothered.

Waffleman_ posted:

The anime started three months after the manga started and ended 5 days after the manga ended, so they were pretty much running simultaneously. So it's probably because of the anime.

The manga was a monthly series, so this meant that the anime started when the manga only had three chapters, and must have started production some time before that.

I was unaware they ran so close alongside each other. I figured they woulda had plenty of content to start up from. Well things make a lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the info!

These are better looking but that doesn't matter if they don't animate worth a drat and given this is Toei they won't.

Also, they're calling this "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal: Season 3" for reasons I don't even care to try to understand given Black Moon was a Story Arc in Season 1.

Then again, at this point I don't know why I'm even bothering to have a go at Toei given that they simply don't know any better and I might make better use of my time getting out of the way of the Steamroller rather than screaming at Austin Powers.

The fact that Digimon Tri came out relatively unscaved (though not streaming in the UK because their Europe Branch is it's own gaggle of pant gargeling wunderkind) is a "mistake" that I'm sure Toei will work to rectify in the other three releases.

Toei actually has lots of really good and talented staff. It just so happens that they're stuck dealing with too many adaptations at once so then some stuff, like Crystal, ends up getting farmed out to people whose only animation talent is getting stuff done fast, not well, and their really bad Philippine outsourcing studio.

And of course Digimon Tri looks good, it's a movie. It doesn't have to be animated within a specific timeframe like a weekly series does.

it was originally going to be a tv series and you can tell they just stapled some episodes together

I just mean in terms of animation quality, once it went from a TV series to a movie they would've been able to spend time having actual staff work on it rather than ending up with episodes with Mamoru Hoshino as AD, or episodes done by Toei Phils.

It's odd to me that someone would want to do a full show in a style that's usually reserved for spin-off gags like Chiru Chiru Michiru, TTGL Parallel Works, Higurashi Kira, etc.
But I can easily believe it'll turn out better than the original—a spin-off of a show no one cared about, that tried way too hard to be satire with its intentionally unlikable characters, awful running gags, and self-deprecatory statements on otaku culture. If you haven't seen it, recall how everyone took the "anime was a mistake" meme and ran it into the ground. That's it, that's the show.

It was animated decently with cute designs, and a lot of the reference gags were pretty drat good. all of it went to waste because Komugi has a flat chest!!! Komugi has a complex about her flat chest!!!!! watch everyone in the series poke fun at Komugi's flat chest and her complex about her flat chest!!!!!

If Komugi-chan R gets rolling it could end up being the lighthearted comedy that its predecessor was underneath the tsuntsun.

What makes it double down on how already completely awful that "Pandora's Box" gimmick is is that it's completely superfluous even in the context of the show. Clarine's is on a voice lock, and both cyborg girls have perfectly good GiTS-style neck ports. They wrote around their show's own series bible just to do that :cripes:.

Watched new Komugi. It was indeed straight played Magical Girl, and that's just perfect. Definitely a crossing of Pretty Sammy, Cardcaptor Sakura, and then some original stuff.
Actually, the whole beginning of the episode was played off Cardcaptor Sakura, with foreboding dream sequence, waking up in bedroom (which is almost exactly the same layout), rushing down for breakfast, and getting comments from sibling and parent.

Probably going to like this.

imo i am kind of hoping komugi-chan r is actually just the mirakurun anime we were all hoping for

I liked Bubuki. It's super shonen, but that CG makes me want to see more. Maybe Berserk:The Anime CG won't look so bad. The only problem is that the motions were a bit stiff when walking/running


e: I also really liked "Erased" and was surprised to see that it was made by Sanbe Kei. Then I read the manga and he was really restrained compared to some of his other series like "Nagi" and "Box of Monsters", etc.

The chat thread constantly posting about candy girl's baps made me expect I would dislike Dagashi Kashi but it's actually really funny. Also, camp anime dad is the best:





Also, I finally got around to watching Haruchika. It's good! It's really budget Hyouka x Euphonium though, to the point where it's really distracting.

That is about where I fell on it so far. It's like it wants to be both Hyouka and Euphonium at the same time but hasn't figured out how to do that yet. Like I said, I'm going to give it another ep or two to see how I feel.

A positive note is I like the style of the main girl's eyes. Dunno why, it's just a neat color!

Lemon-Lime
Aug 6, 2009
Honestly, it feels more like Hyouka except not as well written, not as pretty, and they're in the band club rather than the classic literature club, so far. The Eupho stuff seems to be more superficial, but it does include the teacher romance subplot, so we'll see how much the show focuses on that, I guess.

gate s2: it started with rape so i turned that poo poo off. also i haven't seen season 1 so idk if this is normal fare for the show
Ooyasan wa Shishunki!: goddamn there are a lot of 2 minute shows this season. the girl is named chie satonaka. literally nothng interesting about it otherwise, idk why this has such a high score on MAL
koyomonogatari; i thought this was going to be a 2 minute thing but it's 14 minutes long. felt good to see oshino meme again. shame it wasn't very visually interesting and starred boring long haired hanakawa. the ed almost tricked me into thinking shinobu was singing


also non non biyori is getting another ova (well, oad but who cares about the difference)

Nothing like that in the first season of the anime, although there are spoken hints of brutality done by others. So far I'm taking that scene as a tasteless way to paint the guy evil, but otherwise not something to expect more of.
