Is it true that in Asia it's reversed, and the twink body type is seen as the manly one and the muscle body type is seen as the gay one?

The character designer for OPM tweeted that he's seen a bunch of people talking about the anime having a big budget, when in reality it has an average budget, and they just have a lot of passionate animators who want to work on it.

It's true, and nothing is more manly than loving other men. Get those women outta here.

I gotta say, this anime is just continuing to impress me with every single thing. The sonic jumping around scene was definitely worse than the manga in animation quality, but the animation in the Sonic v Hammerhead fight and everything with Licenseless Rider was incredible, and the music was on point all throughout. My guess is they knew they couldn't compare to Murata's ninja bounce scene, so rather than come close, fail, and get people mad about it anyway, they put in just a baseline of effort there and made sure to work hard everywhere else. I can respect that.

I'm guessing that their scheduling is also pretty good since they had the first episode complete a month in advance?

Yes.

Episode 5 is partially outsourced to DR Movie (Korean studio), just to warn people in advance.

Doesn't the manga actually comment on that however? I thought Naruto thinks Haku is a girl and refers to her as such until he corrects him.

What worries me is the possibility they do it for other scenes like that.

Ninja bounce is whatever but there's at least 2 I can think of that I would really sorely miss.

The next episode shouldn't require much elaborate animation in any case. They're probably saving money for the stuff after the next ep.

I said partially outsourced; one of the two animation directors is from there. Its impossible to know how much work is being done where until it airs but it could easily be a case of part A/part B split.

Pretty sure they were the ones responsible for the big dip in animation quality in the middle of the second season of Korra.

It looks rotoscoped in the way Disney did/does, but not like flowers of evil or waking life.

E: edit this is a distinction that possibly seems clearer in my mind than in actual fact.

rotoscoping just means tracing/selecting around something that moves between frames, and it's used a lot in animation, more so than most people realise. Aku no hana's weird shading is not only application of the technique. The second cut of the bike gif looks roto'd, but only as a line trace.

That's exactly it.

There's no point in animating such a complex motion by hand for a simple joke, it's a colossal waste of time and money. They just line traced the kickstand-to-pose part and nothing more.

I think the really detailed motions of the rotoscoping made the scene even more amusing than it would have been any other way. It's very out of place so you are fixated on watching him dismount from his bike, just like the 30 guys in power armor are doing. It's a really good take on the joke of a hero requiring some initial "setup" before he can resume character.
