It's still not great, but I'm at least enjoying Tamayomi now that they're playing games and delving more into strategy. I'm a total neophyte when it comes to baseball though, with the limit of my knowledge being watching Jon Bois and Jimmy O'Brien videos. The girl I didn't like before because of being a creeper is a lot better now that she's focusing more on statistics and scouting instead of just feeling up other girls.

Also, the club advisor is the best character.

I wound up being fine with the CGI animation of 2045, what bugged me was how scatterbrained the story was. I at a minimum enjoyed it just because i'm a sucker for GitS and the original voice cast nails what they were given as always.

I mean because I suggested people not be awful and defend someone harassing a trans person on twitter one of said defenders PMed me(because they know they'd get banned if they posted it in a thread) calling me a pedophile and saying I deserve to be castrated because...anime, so that seems par for the course with cspam posters

i think if a pm is bad enough/crosses the line into actual harassment you can send it to the mods and they might do something? i dont think PMs are completely unmoderated.

Yeah I asked about it, but who knows, they're going to discuss it. I've been told to "deal with it" years ago with harassing PM's, which, when a guy pm's you with "I know where you live" that's a pretty hosed up thing to just brush off(that guy subsequently got perma'd for being a creep), but thankfully they actually deal with poo poo nowadays so hopefully the current idiot gets smacked.

there should be a rule stating that PM's aren't exempt from the forum rules, tbh

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I beat the Sakura Wars game and so finally checked out the anime. I definitely can’t see how anyone would watch this not playing the game because it starts off like “hey it’s a month or two after the game and we pretty much assume you know who everyone is” so it’s a bad title to pickup for anyone not in Japan.

It’s okay, the animation is very not great. However, there was a scene in episode 5 where the girls run out of the bath area and I lost my poo poo and had to watch it again because they absolutely nailed “crazy running out” I need to find a way to gif that.

I've been watching it as well, and they do a decent enough job of giving you a vague sense of the characters without having played the game. And yeah the animation generally is pretty mediocre at best, but it does have bits where it is used well for comedy and character expression.

I started watching Drifting Dragons because it looked slightly more interesting than the majority of Netflix originals and I quite enjoyed it - it has likeable cast and focuses on their lives on a cool steampunk zeppelin - until I realised that it's... pro whaling? With dragons standing in for whales? I don't think I've ever seen a series talking about that

They haven’t fully revealed all the information about the new series, so it’s likely to be another set of 9 and these are just the designs they feel are close enough to final to show off

If you liked the show please check out the manga because the horrible cgi sucks all the life and charm out of the original art. You can read part of it on CR: https://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/drifting-dragons/volumes or buy it from Kodansha: https://kodanshacomics.com/series/drifting-dragons/ & it's on sale right now btw

They have to have nine main girls because of how the game works, but it's cool that they're doing a spinoff too

Honestly, I'm predicting they're gonna go beyond 9, since you can see the 5 revealed girls in this pic already, but there's a bunch of other notable designs in there. Maybe just go full Aikatsu with it, since apparently all the girls will be 1st-years cause the school is re-opening, so they're already shaking the formula up.

A buddy said it had a "grungy sort of charm" and, honestly, that seems like a pretty good description. The manga was one of the first things I started using online readers to keep following up on. So seeing it animated has been a real blast.

Hearing the En family voiced was such a delight, especially Shin and Noi who are perfectly cast. Both Yoshimasa Hosoya and Junya Enoki (in the backstory sections) give Shin a certain quality where he seems like the kind of guy who you'd be totally best bros with, even with the fight-happy tendencies.

Dorohedoro has some bad cgi moments, especially early on, but eventually I felt that the good visuals outweighed the bad.

Like this needlessly gorgeous shot of a parked truck, for example.

my issue is less with cgi in general and more with that ugly style the recent Netflix shows have been done in, especially when they use it on an adaption of something with really distinctive and beautiful art.
