I Failed At Anime 2022
I watched Reincarnated into a Fantasy Knockout and it's uh... idk. I like the idea and it's got some good bits, but episode 1 was aggressively annoying with how much it kept beating the drum on its premise. Episode 2 was a lot better with some gags that actually got laughs out of me and the dynamic between Hinata and Jinguji works better here. I really just want the romantic aspect of this story to resolve itself by the end of the show, but this being an adaptation means it's probably gonna run around in circles for a long time until they finally get to that point.

that was pretty much my reaction too. I love Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer and they better not gently caress up this adaptation, whichever studio is doing it.

You fuckers better knock it out of the park so you can go on to make perfect adaptations of Sengoku Youko and Spirit Circle or I will never forgive you.

Well however it looks it’ll probably perform well in the foreign streaming revenue era though I’d prefer Kino

A reboot half-cour of Devil Hunter Yohko is something I just realized I need. Just without all the Mandatory 80s Fanservice stuff.

Thanks for the heads up btw. Was able to catch this subbed today. Was a bit cheesy and predictable, but was still a solidly fun film.

Yea, I caught it last night and had a good time. Wish that third act wasn't so rote but heck, it was pretty funny throughout so that made up for it. Nice way to spend an evening :cheerdoge:

I can easily imagine a world in which it's a 12 episode tv anime instead and loses its momentum, so I'm glad it was a movie.

The Planet With manga is still ongoing, but nearing the end so I imagine this anime is also meant to coincide with that series ending as a sort of cross promotional thing

though a comparison like that is done entirely on the terms of the anime by dismantling the paneling of the manga lol

yeah lol, the anime looks better because disconnected like that the manga loses its entire function as a work of art

the manga would probably look better than the anime if you compared the storyboards to the actual manga pages with the paneling intact

Easily impressed anime fans gawp and holler at well painted stairways and clouds, stately manga fans understand the deceptively simple art is a deliberate choice, evoking both manga's past from which King's Ranking draws inspiration and illustrating Bojji's pure intentions and heart.

Yeah and tbh if you want people to watch Ousama Ranking you should have posted this video Crunchyroll posted of Whiteking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwyIYwRJKTg

From the coloring, the artstyle, the camera movement, to the armor those guys are wearing it's evoking a very old-school style of anime that makes me more interested in it.

Also the horse is really funny.

i think it's really stupid how half the time ousama ranking gets a big rec thrown in here it's someone bragging about how much better the anime looks than the manga as if that's going to reel me into any kind of interest. i watch shows that look WORSE than the manga, you think this means anything to me? contact me again when they spend five minutes talking in a dark forest with the camera obscured by a single foreground png of a leaf

Sometimes it's just neat to see how panels from a manga are adapted into an anime from an artistic perspective and it doesn't have to be a pissing match about anime vs manga. I went from "Oh what a neat video, illustrators and animators are so cool and talented!" to a bunch of weird replies pitting them against each other.

Genius Prince was a bit eh last week but I thought this week was pretty good. We caught up on a bunch of exposition which is what people were complaining about being skipped and it was basically an episode of personalities bouncing off each other and intrigue.

Unrelated but if I watched Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and thought it was just ok. The fight at the end was good but I was honestly just annoyed that once again the demon invalidates the heroes win through sheer bullshit. It pissed me off when they completely undercut Tanjiro's big fight in season 1 that way and it sucked for it to happen 2 arcs in a row.

I thought Genius Prince improved as well, and seemed more like an actual episode rather than an X.5 without the recap. My guess is The hidden arms caches are meant to be discovered and for the 3 empire fractions to THINK that the prince and princess are colluding. That's why the princess came with retainers from the 3 factions, so they can discover the weapons build up and report back. Her plan is exactly what she said it was, except she needs needs to force Wein's hand for him to accept, just like he suggested she should.
