I'll Be Back ( for an encore ) Hasta La Vivy, Baby Swan Songs for Robot Dolls It's a little entertaining to me that we have three inhuman doll shows; Zombieland, Shadows House, and now Vivy.

I don't think anyone believes that the living dolls in Shadows House are actually dolls instead of humans who had their memories wiped with shadow juice. Them actually being dolls would be the biggest possible twist.

I love how the basic premise of To Your Eternity is just "what if The Thing was a bit nicer?"

After I finally found out how to change Funimations lovely subtitles on PS5 they roll out and update where you can change them in the player itself, haha. Hoping this update also fixed the problem where the episode doesn’t actually end in the system and gets stuck so you have to manually check for new episodes in your queue.

An eldritch being from beyond the stars comes to earth and finds humans. This leaves the eldritch being a shattered wreck in mind and body, knowing nothing but suffering and madness.

Having never watched Konosuba, I've been enjoying Combatants Will Be Dispatched so far. As I understand Konosuba fans would probably not consider it to be bringing anything really new, though.

As I understand Konosuba fans would probably not consider it to be bringing anything really new, though. imo it feels a lot like early konosuba to me - it's like, fine but not great. konosuba got really good in the second season though, which kinda makes combatants not seem terribly good in comparison, but it's decent enough that i'm sticking around to see if it takes a similar upswing once the characters are well established. it's hard to shake the "this feels like konosuba but not as good" feeling though, going in without that comparison to make probably helps a decent amount

the animation didn't seem that good. i don't even particularly care about konosuba but i guess the production was its secret strength that none of the subsequent adaptations have really had.

dogsicle posted:the animation didn't seem that good. i don't even particularly care about konosuba but i guess the production was its secret strength that none of the subsequent adaptations have really had. The animation in Konosuba wasn't exactly good, but it leaned into the wonkiness for comic effect to let sloppier techniques work out for the show overall. It also had great performances from the voice cast, including the initially improvised "Yes, I'm Kazuma" running gag. If you look at DVD sales (a limited metric subject to a lot of other variables, but a metric accessible to the public), Princess Connect: Re Dive, a comedic isekai type anime by the same director as Konosuba, was a massive hit. Meanwhile Kemono Michi, a comedic isekai based on a series by the same writer as Konosuba, was a flop. Suggests that, as an anime at least, director Takaomi Kanasaki was a big factor in Konosuba being such a hit.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Priconne DVDs came with codes for stuff in the game, the Granblue anime DVDs always sell gangbusters for that reason.

Kemono Michi peaked when the Princess got german suplexed in episode 1. Then the joke ran its course.

The best joke in Combatants was in episode one where a character was charging up a big attack and the Megumin explosion music from Konosuba started playing.

i think in general the whole trend of 'hey, this anime based on this ln did super well, lets adapt the authors other works' never really pans out that well. big order isnt as popular as index/railgun, accel world isnt as popular as sao - i think the only time i can think of that the two things have achieved similar popularity is maoyuu and log horizon.

You mean Heavy Object, right? Big Order was by the Future Diary guy - and yeah, that didn't live up to the earlier work's popularity either.

Yeah it’s rare but I don’t know if I’d blame the authors, sometimes it that’s and sometimes it’s on the anime studios failing source material. Amagi Brilliant Park was an awesome adaptation I’d put on the same level as Full Metal Panic. Then you look at Cop Craft and I think it’s pretty easy to see how the animation studio was 100% responsible for that ending up a turd.

The biggest problem with Combatants is that fan artists don't draw the cleric girl enough.

Speaking of gacha adaptations, I do wonder if Replicant being another Yoko Taro megahit is going to push a SINoALICE anime up the priority list.
