I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
So this is the thread for Triage X

I'm not going to do a super effort post on this because I don't think the show really deserves it.

Triage X is a manga by the artist of Highschool of the Dead (the story is by another person). I read the manga because while the dude likes drawing women with big tits, and seeing them naked. He also has a sharp style and draws action stuff pretty drat well. The story is dumb as gently caress (One dude is a unit full of combat nurses fight crime, and they kinda have super-strength but not really only when it suits them)

EDIT: Oh, I should also note, that Xebec sucks dick at animating things so the art doesn't look nearly as good when MADHOUSE adapted HotD.

This show is only gonna be 10 EPISODES LONG and will air on CRUNCHYROLL - WEDNESDAYS

This show is pretty much a revival of action OVA's from the 90's, but stretched out into a TV show that really pushes hard for you to buy the Blu-Rays because that's where all the boobs and butts will be.

I'm going to leave you with a series of pics and commentary so you can determine what the show is like.

Right off the bat you will see this


But then the ladies also have cool poo poo going on like this




These two explain themselves



But this show is determined to be the ridiculous in costume design.


(yes)

:siren: Triage X is dumb trash, and just fyi it uses lazy shorthand of "evil guys do bad things to women to prove they're evil. :siren:

So for everyone who is left over after all this. Let's watch this poo poo go down.

Also, incidentally I've never liked those bloom bright spots they do on skin just to go "look here guys, shiny! :pervert:". Just makes it look like the poor girl's got a couple of nasty zits.

I've read both but never really looked too closely at the attributions, so this actually surprises me a bit. The two have virtually the same outlook regarding systemic corruption, violence, and personal discipline.

Yeah, I think the author of HotD probably influenced Sato a lot and I wouldn't be surprised if he gave him pointers.

I love how they kept yelling random medical jargon in front of witnesses. They're just trying their damnedest to get someone to investigate the local hospital which coincidentally also employs titty elementals.

If the cops show up they'll just send out the anesthesiologist to talk to them, which will throw them off the trail.

This was always going to be a "Buy the Blu-Rays!" show, but lol at ~90% of the screen being white steam.

The car destruction scene was a big disappointment. The still images in the manga had a better sense of weight and motion.

With Xebec behind this one it was pretty obvious they wouldn't be able to really carry over the full extent of the manga.

It's fun enough to watch though. Like seeing Mikami get hit with a hail of bullets and then shoot back with the double pistols. Or him calmly shooting the drugged up chick

I'm surprised there isn't a little more blood at least with spatters and such. Wonder if that will be added into the BD's.

Probably. The little blood you see seems to suggest that humans in this world bleed grape juice.

If you like violent action schlock (and I do! I started this thread after all) It's quite good. It fills in the gap caused by Highschool of the Dead never being released. The story services the action well enough, but I really like Sato's art. He has a really clean and great to follow style going on and has some pretty good detail in the stuff he draws, but is just a gigantic pervert on top of that.

I don't know if it was just the group doing the scans or if she was originally like that, but yeah, Mikoto swearing like a sailor and generally being kind of an rear end in a top hat were good traits that made her more fun. She's just kind of bland in the show.

Wow, that sucks. Hopefully it's just because they've been giving Arashi screentime to set up what his deal is, and she'll get some better screentime next episode.

I just did a quick reflip through the first volume and its not a massive difference. Mikoto is a little bit less emotional and they cut down or out some scenes with her but that's about it.

As far as swearing goes. That's scanlators doing their thing. I've seen it with Yamada-kun and how here too I guess. The official translation has very little swearing from Mikoto.

Yup. Though I have to say, I'm amazed they got away with this;



I don't know if that's her outfit in the manga or whatever, but I swear they have to be driving right up to some arbitrary line to get that in with all the stuff that's steam-clouded out.

Unless it is in a chapter which hasn't been translated yet, she hasn't appeared in the manga at all. That scene as well as the one with the bsdm ninja were anime original. Looks like they are gearing up for a filler ending right from the start.

She apparently shows up latter. Same with the little Mob boss and his ninja that he punches around.

Also the Masked Nurse along with having super strength (Which they apparently justify her having.) she is also a psychopath little better then the criminals they fight from what little of I have seen of the manga.

Bleh gently caress these animators. They left out HEEEAAAART CAAAAATCH, which was like the best part of this arc.

They also totally remove Mikoto's connection to the Yakuza dudes.

There's also a moment of hilariously awful censoring towards the end of the episode.

I don't remember heart catch. It's been a while since I read the manga so I should do a refresher. There was some good moments like when the dude ran away like a monkey at the end.

Some of the music is also way to good for a show like this and is wasted on it. I'm thinking of the track that was playing during the double gang leader scene.

I haven't read the manga, but saying she's from "a prestigious family" seemed like a decent enough setup for her to turn out to be from a Yakuza family later. And that censoring was hilarious :allears:.
