 So this first post is pretty much spoiler-free, but as this thread is going up after Ep. 6 you should expect spoilers from there on out. KEMURIKUSA is director Tatsuki's latest broadcast anime after getting ruthlessly sacked from Kemono Friends after the first season ended. It's a vaguely sci-fi story in a post-apocalyptic setting where a group of girls and a tree embark on an endless search for water while trying to fight the deadly robots they call "bugs" with magical leaves. Uh, it's kind of hard to explain, so let's talk about the characters.  Here are Rin, Ritsu, and Rina, respectively. Rin is the overly suspicious fighter of the group. Ritsu is Midori (the tree's) primary caretaker and has cat ears. Rina is playful and has a healthy appetite for strange foods. They are joined by this lad, Wakaba:  I hope you like this kind of dialogue, because he says some variation of it four thousand times per episode. Anyway, the show has (in my opinion) a slow slog of a start, but it gets pretty interesting by episode 5 or so. It has roughly the same production values as Kemono Friends episode 1, so don't get your hopes up too high in that regard, but if you didn't mind it there you probably won't mind it here. I'm curious where this series is going to go. I honestly have no idea. I hope it is good! (Kemurikusa is streaming on Amazon Prime.) Hat tip to Dzhay for the thread title, which is much more clever than whatever I would've come up with

El Burbo posted:Possibly. Various landmarks match up to real life landmarks. For example, they passed by Space World Japan, and the latest episode had an old fountain in Osaka station Tatsuki sure likes his decaying architecture.

Ccs posted:I respect how this guy is making a certain kind of sub par CG into an aesthetic. I mean that in all honesty. It means some interesting stories can be told with bad budgets. I agree. And I would love to hear Tatsuki and Irodori's story sometime; I suspect it would make a hell of a movie.

Yeah, it's pretty fun, and I hope we come back to the delinquent sister before too long. Anyone know what kanji was flashing on the blue wall there?

The poor little robots. At least they died doing what they loved, chilling out on a boat until someone told them to hack up some tree roots. Bit of a turning point for Wakaba and Rin too. Good ep.

El Burbo posted:It is one of the, if not the, best selling anime this season. Highly rated on nico streams. One of the most discussed on 2chan. Really? Huh, good for Irodori. Seems to be almost completely ignored in the US. I kind of understand it, it's much gloomier than KF and doesn't have that same moe factor. I hope this gives them a chance to do something interesting with a full budget and staff down the road.

TalkLittle posted:What's up with this show, every episode feels repetitive but at the same time I feel like I never have any idea what's going to happen next. It's strange, isn't it? It's been a pretty simple format but this show sticks with me more than most. Maybe I'm just a sucker for these bittersweet kinds of stories.

I'm not sure what this is for, but Tatsuki also did a few short manga chapters that go up to episode 10 or so. https://mangadex.org/title/34005/kemurikusa-wakaba-memo There's not really anything new, but there were a few frames from a show promo page that I liked. Presumably from before things went to poo poo.

Hell yeah. Would be happy to rustle that updo. There's a fan art countdown on this twitter account, a pretty good Riku and Ryoku I thought. https://twitter.com/karyoku_seigi/status/1110153298395320320

I was pretty happy with this ep, but I sure wish they didn't use a minute and a half on the OP because the story ended up rushed and could've used that time to slow down a little. https://twitter.com/irodori7/status/1110916908272869376
