Finished Mom Isekai and the last episode had enough funny bits for me to say that this show is more Good than it is Bad if you're someone who doesn't mind nearly constant cheesecake.

someone please make me a gif avatar of the bit where it goes to horror for a minute and there's the quick cuts of a million mamakos

Inuyashiki is the most CG heavy series they've done that I know of and that looked fine, if perhaps fittingly strange. though I admit I have a higher tolerance for CG than most.

i feel like there's a lot of that poster that captures the messy look of the source material well. i even like big round face nikaido

Davincie posted:

new blade of the immortal has insane pacing, adapting about 400 pages in 40 minutes, wildly skipping and cutting content and its without a single second where someone isn't talking. despite the content warning they also show quite a lot less than the manga, and they took the manji out of manjis clothing which makes zero sense. voice acting is good enough but i see little reason to watch this instead of reading the manga. considering they plan on adapting all 207 chapters in 24 episodes i can only see the pacing get worse even if certain parts of boi did run too long
i will now read this manga

Yeah that scene doesn't look great, but like Wark said, mostly because they just linger as everyone else walks out of frame.

I like a lot of that first episode, Legois and Louis' interactions had an interesting level of intimacy and Haru's faces and body language were cute and good. I read a bit of the first volume and felt that they captured how Legosi hunches and lumbers around pretty good. Seems like they're moving stuff around too

that synopsis honestly doesn't do beastars any favors lol

it doesn't mention the inciting incidents of the first episode that would probably entice people ( the murder of a student at the hands of a carnivore and legosi grapping with his animal instinct to eat someone too )

watch given motherfuckers

e: i bring it up because it has that exact same scene but the dude actually is gay and the other guy goes 'yeah don't worry man, im bi too" so go watch it if you wanna see gay people do gay stuff like kissing, playing with each other's hair and joking about having sex in bathrooms

e2: i have been meaning to check stars align but after Run With The Wind, the bar for sports shows is astronomically high

watch run with the wind too

To be fair, that's about one if the most violent sports ever conceived by man. So dark poo poo happening is expected.
any story about sports will involve human beings training and torturing their own imperfect bodies in pursuit of some dream known only to them. this combined with whatever history and baggage they're bringing to the table makes sport stories fundamentally more emotional and dark

for me anyway

I mean it seems like the same constraint exists in English in this case. Bort could've said 'Didi' instead of onii-chan in the original if avoiding gendered terms was really important.

I don't think creators are necessarily infallible when it comes to translation, you can certainly criticise eg the new Evangelion translation even though many of its faults seem to have been mandated by the Japanese side.
none of the actual writing staff or creators had any say in the new translation of evangelion so that point doesnt work either. anno is still the CEO of khara on paper but there is absolutely no way they got him to write Worthy Of His Grace and asked Dan the guy who thinks drawn child porn is okay to write it

there's a vast difference between a single woman's idea of how her own creation should sound and a company with seven "Managing Directors" positons
