The shows publishers are most banking on generally get fall or spring slots, though there's so much good anime that a lot of really good stuff ends up in winter or spring slots. In any case you never really know if an anime is gonna be good until it starts airing.

i feel like Winter had a lot of strong stuff this year, Devilman, Pop Team Epic, Yurucamp, A Place Further Than The Universe etc. I didn't even watch all those and I still felt winded by Spring and didnt watch anything past three episodes.

Winter was definitely heavier on prestige stuff than last season was/this season seems set to. Also, in Fall news, Bloom Into You announced its lead VAs today. https://twitter.com/pKjd/status/1011170578714132480 I'm quite happy with these picks, both been really good before.

Megalobox and Hinamatsuri alone would be enough to make it worth watching, and I had about half a dozen other things in the list most weeks. More action oriented than winter, but still very good. Don't see as much this time out, but I could be wrong.

Nate RFB posted:Hakumei & Mikochi It was fun to re experience it in motion but the manga's just, so exceptional from an art perspective (not even relative to the anime) and has stuff that was cut out or felt better than in the anime. Not to say the anime wasn't good just that it's an incredibly high bar to pass. AnacondaHL posted:Disagree; after just a few chapters of Chio I knew a ton of value could be added by adding motion, and knowing an anime was coming I just stopped reading. I mean it's effectively the entire premise of the comedy. The huge red flag is the production and execution. The source material is strong enough even with static images, and given a dash more confidence in competence this should have been a slam dunk adaptation, yet all expectations are tempered. uh, fair, actually. I guess I mean more it's gonna have to be a really good adaptation to surpass the source material for me. Like Saiki quality.

did u read the description quote:A group of 3 yakuza failed their boss for the last time. After messing up an important job, the boss gave them 2 choices: honorably commit suicide, or go to Thailand to get a sex reassignment surgery in order to become "female" idols. After a gruesome year training to become idols, they successfully debut, with overwhelming popularity, much to their dismay. This is where their tragedy truly begins.

also iunno if it'll be good or not but starlight revue's pv was really good, and the person that basically worked day and night to make citrus have as much character as it did is the assistant director, so its probably the show im most interested in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jijW8uzyl5Q seriously this pv is great, so much character animation and then the final bit is great. if the play scenes consistently look half that good itll be a visual marvel

i feel like a finger on a monkey's paw is closing. like i wished for 'can i just get like, some actual explicit girls loving girls' after amanchu ended spring on a really sour note, and the monkey's paw granted me an adaptation of happy sugar life. i don't even dislike happy sugar life. it's alright. but god drat, kick me while i'm down, why don't you (looking like a season for me to basically skip on the whole except like, starlight revue. don't watch back street girls) Kinu Nishimura fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Jun 26, 2018 |

It’s a bushiroad joint, so they’ve already set up stuff all over various media. Much like how bang dream had them do actual band performances, starlight revue has actual stage shows running too, and yeah there’s a good chance of musical bits.

That gives you the "restaurant" fried chicken look and texture.

iospace posted:I'm curious as to how far into the manga they'll go. I'm hopeful they can make it to like the end of volume 6 - Should be a really natural stopping point, I bet they can manage it with a few judicious edits, and at any rate there aren't any super obvious cutoff points before there. Stop before that and they'll probably need to do something anime original to make it not feel abrupt and unfinished - though that might not be so bad, the screenwriter's been really good before.

I feel like the seasonal average is more even now. Winter and summer isn't necessarily that much worse than spring and fall. Personal preference will also have an impact on whether a season feels strong or weak as well. I think because more shows are made every season there's more likely to be something for everyone every season as well. I'm personally glad this season has less interesting shows, because it's so difficult to stop watching things that are good, and for the last few seasons it's been so many good shows. What a fatiguing hobby!

Endorph posted:budget..... I still don't understand this argument. Are you saying the budgets for FLCL and FLCL: Progressive/Alternative are the same? I don't know any way to prove this one way or the other but it just seems impossible. I guess by extension you're just saying everyone on the show is at best a slightly-above-average animator? I would have to do research here, I mean Imaishi worked on the first one and not these so that's a loss by itself, but I dunno enough about the rest of the staffs to comment. Also I don't buy anyone's argument that "the first one was an OVA and these are TV anime" because they're still six-episode series and Progressive/Alternative were announced over two years before airing.

I don't know any way to prove this one way or the other but it just seems impossible. I guess by extension you're just saying everyone on the show is at best a slightly-above-average animator? I would have to do research here, I mean Imaishi worked on the first one and not these so that's a loss by itself, but I dunno enough about the rest of the staffs to comment. What matters for animation quality is the talent of the staff and the amount of time allowed to that staff, plus the general organizational quality of production, more than anything. And progressive/alternative were probably announced the moment they got the rights worked out and were committed to doing them. Two years isn't that long a leadup time - it's a decent chunk of time, but not unheard of, especially considering they're trying to organize two shows at once. From a 2002 interview with Funimation, given by Tsurumaki, the director of the original FLCL. quote:Why was FLCL produced? This implies FLCL was in at least early planning stages since 1996, when Evangelion ended. Even giving 'after Evangelion' some space to be like, a year later, that still implies three years of development. Even if he means after End of Evangelion, that's also 2-3 years. Incidentally, that he describes FLCL as essentially a filler series, something to keep the staff busy, that implies they didn't put that much money into it, whereas the modern FLCL series is cashing in on a very successful, beloved older series. Which implies, if anything, that it'd have more of a budget. And unlike a weekly TV series, episodes of FLCL could be done when they were done. Once an episode 'aired,' they had months to make sure the next one was fully complete, give it touchups. Even in the best produced TV series in the world, a weekly schedule is going to mean you don't have time to make things look as polished as you wish you could. Speed's of the essence, even if you had lots of lead-up time, and things are inevitably going to wind up finished last minute. As for the talent of the animation staff, the staff for the new series, is... well, new. They've explicitly said so in interviews, and looking at staff credits bears this out. There's a few relatively old hands, Toshihisa Kaiya (director of Episode 2 of Progressive) worked on Ghost in the Shell, and Hisashi Toshima (animation director on Ep 3) got his start on pokemon movies from like ten years ago, but there's a ton of new hands in even the higher ranking positions. Kazuto Arai, director and storyboarder of episode 1 of progressive, has his first credits as an inbetweener on a few Trigger things. Just the fact that he seemingly started animating when trigger existed should tell you how new he is, and even allowing for some early inbetweener credits to be missing, that's still new blood. And when you get down to key animation, pretty much everyone is incredibly new. Yuki Hino (Key Animation, ep 3) literally only has two other credits to their name, and they're both from last year. There's people who have only done Doraemon and Pokemon movies their entire, three-four year careers, people who were just inbetweeners on random big film projects, whatever. Again, some credits could be missing, but probably only a year or two's worth, and most people usually manage to get credited for something even in their first year. And that's not to say none of those people have talent - clearly they do, since Progressive hardly looks bad and they were trusted with some fairly important work so early in their careers - but they aren't Gainax in their prime by a mile. Basically nobody is. More than that, Gainax's animators, even the young ones, had been through the worst of it and back out again. Anyone who managed to survive Evangelion's production had seen things no mortal was meant to see. Some of these people, especially the ones who have just escaped Doraemon hell, are probably trying to adjust to a TV production. Especially ones where they have a lot more responsibility than they might be used to. These are all things that no amount of money could, would, or is going to fix.
