i suppose if you go into saiyuuki knowing the action is awful it might be tolerable, but boy did that aspect really turn me off. the PVs for the new season seem to be repeating it, despite having almost two decades of progress in anime production methods.

The Summer Seasonal Stream Survey is up! Vote for any/all of the shows you'd like to see, stream dates and times will come as we near actual air dates and simulcasts are announced. Availability of shows is always subject to last minute changes, in cases like a show not getting picked up or straight up not airing. Sequel seasons aren't on the ballot.

Laughing Salesman New finished up earlier this week (hoping for another season to get announced...) and it went out on a strong episode, between an interesting opener where the salesman is barely present and a closer that returned to some of the flashier animation from ep1 with a really cool shift in directorial style. It was a rare show that was so obviously aimed at an older audience and dealt with the social pressures and issues that come with age, employment, and family, while keeping a sense of humor. The visual style stood out when compared to most modern anime, and beyond that uniqueness it was just very solid and had the proper cartoony-ness to complement the show's tone. I know the show got a bad rap for the first episode but it improved quickly after. I'd definitely recommend either powering through the first 1 1/2 middling episodes or even just skipping to 3 and watching from there.

GorfZaplen posted:I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people interested in Altair, Ottoman Empire fantasy anime sounds interesting to me at least. Is the manga not very good or something? Haven't read the manga, but people may be wary due to its similarity to Arslan, another two cour middle eastern fantasy that tanked hard 1/3 of the way in. But Altair has more source material to draw from and the director is pretty established/has done some great stuff so I want to be optimistic.

also a show that becomes dull is worse than one that becomes awful because it can be harder to give up on, and feels like more of a disappointment since it is/was so close to being good.

yeah, manga can serve as a basis for storyboards and the Arslan anime was ostensibly based on the manga (used Arakawa's designs), so it declining in quality around when the anime caught up is probably related

It's the last week before the season starts in force, so don't forget to vote for which shows you'd like to see in the seasonal stream here! I'll check the votes a final time around 10pm CST this Friday, and finalize the schedule according to that. In the meantime expect a smallish stream this Sunday, July 2 and a larger one on Sunday, July 9. There are a few odds and ends left after that which will get tossed into a stream Friday, June 14 or Saturday, June 15. Temporary schedule will be up tonight or tomorrow.

Cheating Craft and To Be Hero were both solid shows that looked fine to good. Haoliners' overall track record isn't great but doing an adaptation means you have both visual and writing material to draw from. So I'm optimistic.

Darth Walrus posted:While a number of his adaptive screenplays he's done have been good, four out of five of his original TV series have been really messy. Seeing as the fifth was Overman King Gainer, and Tomino is a very... uhh... dominant personality in his works, that suggests that he probably can't take much credit there. Also, it was fifteen years ago, and he hasn't written an especially good series-length screenplay since - his best was Code Geass, which even its defenders tend to describe as a fun mess. maybe i should've phrased my post in a way that didn't seem like an invitation to go further into the hole on this. i think if people wanna post misgivings about a show beforehand that's fine. but something like a random quip that just reiterates the already stated opinion that "this show seems bad because x" just comes off annoying and unnecessary.

there's also the thing with Amazon where they aren't really licensing stuff themselves and just gladly accepting whatever shows Sentai will throw at them. hopefully HIDIVE is a stronger service next season and Sentai sends more/all their stuff there.

Wark Say posted:The one thing about Shaft that I'm glad to see is Akiyuki Shinbo kinda stepping away and letting other people direct things. Like yeah, they're still putting his name as "Chief Director" but it feels that he's just there because he knows people and that's that. in practice this just means other people get director credits for the house style aka "copy Shinbo." doesn't seem that great to me

Wark Say posted:Little Witch Academia and Mob Psycho proved that new animators are off their loving rocker. Also that Yoh Yoshinari (and his older brother, Koh) are still incredibly talented human beings. You can say that LWA has its share of flaws, but drat if it's not rad looking. is there really any relation between the two shows and FLCL2&3? neither Yoshinari brother is attached and you've only got two dudes who did some KA on the Mob OP/one ep. seems kind of a weird/misrepresentative tangent.

Wark Say posted:Didn't a goon mention a couple of posts ago that the FLCL sequel is going to have a buncha young animators working on it? Because that was my whole connection. yeah, it will have staff who have trended towards storyboarding/KA/design rather than directorial positions that get recognition. anybody more closely tied to LWA/Mob would be a later announcement though, since so far you just have Kazuto Arai (FLCL 2 director, KA on Mob ep3) and Yuichi Takahashi (FLCL 3 character design, KA on Mob OP). FLCL2 has a pretty strong connection with Flip Flappers though, with Oshiyama on mech design and three of the directors having done KA under him on that series.

the PV does not inspire confidence overall, but some shots at least give me an idea of what a well-executed show with that style might look like. so hopefully it comes across better as actual episodes.

anyway i just watched Konbini Kareshi and i think it's pretty easy to say people can pass it over with no worries. the art and writing doesn't have any charm, and it's definitely going to be too serious about its mediocre stock characters and their romances as things go on. if you want a romcom, Tsurezure Children is airing this season. if you want a drama then pick up Orange from a couple seasons ago.
