I just started reading the manga today and totally forgot that the first ep had been released, so I watched it and I am blown away by how amazing it is. I can't wait for more episodes, and I'm about to really dig into the manga now. Peco's obsession with sweets is one of my favorite character traits.

Phobophilia posted:The golden age of classic HK movies is long long over I guess I'm a big weirdo cause I dig the animation in this and am flabbergasted to hear it's the reason some people don't like this. But I'm kind of a sports/game anime junkie and expected to like this from the get-go as it's about a game I actually play. I really enjoyed the little introductions with what grip they use and their preferences. Also after hearing the not-so-great English from the teacher early on (though I guess his English isn't meant to be stellar), the good Chinese kinda took me by surprise. I had expected the Chinese student would inexplicably speak perfect Japanese like most foreigners in anime. I'd definitely bet on him having some relation to China. It's definitely not super-standard Mandarin, which is almost what I'd expect a Japanese person who studied Chinese to have, but that just makes it feel way more authentic since you never hear standard Mandarin outside of classrooms or TV shows.

The second episode was wonderful, both with ^ and with everything the coach does during the episode. I'm also glad that there is a reason that he tosses in english words while he is talking, because that was bugging me a little in the first episode.

For those wondering about the OP, there was a pre-screening/talk event and people who attended said there is an OP coming eventually. There's a rumor going around animation circles based on the talk event that the OP is being done by Shinya Ohira, if that's true it should be nothing short of amazing.

Zorak posted:BEWARE OF KITES, THEY LOVE TO BURG I really hope 'burgers being forcefully taken away from people' is a recurring theme in the series. Anyways, the episode was fun, and I already want another episode to be out. I can't even really explain even why I like this show but it's really compelling.

I wonder what exactly it was that caused Smile to emotionally retreat like he has. He didn't seem like that as a kid, really.

This show is the best. It is actually ridiculous and unfair to other shows. That is how good this show is. Differences to the manga-ish related talk about why Yuasa is awesome: Yuasa is sticking really close to the manga but his additions, specifically the broomcloset scene and the whole robot transformation are incredible. I rewatched that scene like 4 times. I'm really glad his additions are this good. It's maintaining the realism of the manga without compromising Yuasa's overall grasp of character and stylization. Basically: Thanks Yuasa. Also, I am glad the OP is changing every week. That's super cool. If the rumors about Ohira are true (And I'm sure they are -- Yuasa mentioned that he wanted to work with Ohira again when I interviewed him during all the Kick-Heart stuff) I'm sure the results will be impressive. laplace fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Apr 20, 2014 |

I keep seeing Kamakura pop up in anime. First Ika Musume and Tari Tari and now this show. It's a really awesome place and everyone should visit it if they're in Tokyo. Beware the kites though. They're worse than seagulls.

Like everyone else, I find myself irresistibly compelled by this show. The sounds of the ping pong are already making me subconsciously engaged, and that will only become more so. I also thought Smile's arc in the episode was amazing.

Zorak posted:Hahahaha holy loving poo poo: This is like a return to Happy Machine, which is loving awesome. The animation fidelity (which is generally good in Adventure Time anyway iirc) was also pleasant. But this is hilarious because just imagining Yuasa attempting to direct a team of american animators (making something distinctly american) when he doesn't speak a lick of English is great. I'm glad his popularity over here is bearing fruit. Edit: seriously though what?! I can't even believe this is happening. It turns out the entire episode was animated in Japan with no outside supervision, which explains the really silly lipsync. laplace fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Apr 21, 2014 |
