i don't think it's that Canada isn't getting it, it's just Netflix waits for the whole run to be done and throws it all on at once.

Even if you think Dorohedoro is better than Eizouken, there's no way that's an easy call.

Still real good but mostly I'm just glad it introduced me to the manga.

Its pretty easily in the top 3 this season I think

One of those is just my sincere belief that there's probably another anime airing this season that is as good as dorohedoro and eizouken but just doesn't interest me.

Though I think it's fair that the venn diagram of fans of those two shows isn't exactly a perfect circle either, if you're only into one or the other I'm sure it's a pretty easy pick

This clip is a loving nightmare to compress to a gif. Holy poo poo. I literally cannot get 180x101 to be under 205kb let alone 150 even down to 16 colors dithered. I really want to keep all 42 frames though.

Eizouken seems mostly fine but those heartfelt coming of age series/movies are really dependent on catching you just right and I slid off it. I generally like my media in that genre distilled down to a single 90 minute movie. though even with all that it's definitely second place. Though maybe yokai detective or toilet-ghost shows are hidden gems I just haven't gotten to yet.

Q Hayashida you can't just put Noi in a suit and put her hair up and think that's okay to do.

Also I'm guessing Ebisu is just gonna keep getting hosed up in increasingly hilarious ways.

No joke i was thinking they might be the walk cycles of all four characters from Castlevania 3. Grant would be more obvious though.

so it's not uncommon for an anime to have a placeholder ed that gets changed after a couple episodes once they've finished the animation

it is uncommon for the song to change. this ED's animation is fairly specific to the episode, and the first ED being all about the doors was pretty relevant at the time and not as much now

in conclusion, if we get a new ED every couple of episodes i'm gonna bust a loving nut every god drat time holy poo poo i love this

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

the animation is kind of clunky and there's a number of moments that aren't sold as well as i would've liked coming from the manga, but also with the little things like the ED changing and i'm pretty sure "dorohedoro hayashida" has been on some random object in every episode so far, i'm really appreciating seeing the story in animation. especially since the sound effects, voice acting, and music are all top notch too. really just makes me wish that each episode got an extra day in the oven because the talent and love is so clearly there and while the 3dCG doesn't really work, they make a good case that with a little more time it could work.

Ranzear

CG clunk is just more obvious than 2D clunk.

Even Beastars and Houseki had some B-team jank now and then, but it never really detracted. This show has the eyes right, which is something I've mentioned in the Beastars or last season thread.

The CG was VERY jarring in the first episode, at least for me, but I barely notice it by now. You can get used to it, especially when everything else owns.

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

there should be a cg rule where a model isn't allowed to 100% sit still, because any time an animation stops and the model just ceases movement it becomes very jarring. 3d objects aren't meant to be that stiff if they aren't part of the scenery

i think in 2d it's easier to swallow when something is just totally still because it's kind of like looking at a still drawing instead of a person for whom time has suddenly stopped, and also there's been a lot of time for animation to condition me into not recoiling at still frames

Anime studios should be obligated to use various Unreal Engine gens for cg models. Or do what Treasure Planet tried.

I'm a little underwhelmed by the fight, the timing and layout were off. Still nice to see something other than an instant win by either side though.

ninjewtsu
Oct 9, 2012

yeah for being a somewhat climatic fight they wiffed it a little bit. the ending with shin ripping off kaiman's head was pretty good though, and left me with a good feeling about the fight overall.

in general a lot of the individual motions in nikaido vs noi i think could've used some more emphasis, in the manga i think it's a bit more clear that noi is taking major injuries but immediately healing them, while in the anime it comes off a bit more like "noi is just That Buff".

so in both the manga and the anime i'm pretty sure you don't know that noi has healing magic at that point, so really the question you're supposed to be asking is "how come this lady is talking about having her internal organs hosed up like it's nothing? did her neck just snap why is she punching again right away :catstare:" and then you can kinda connect the dots when you see her heal ebisu a little bit later. in the anime the damage nikaido is doing to noi is a little undersold and comes off more as general anime exaggeration than "if this was shin getting hit like this he would just be straight up dead"

but yes, noi's fighting style is this: http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/the-best-defense

Lt. Lizard

In anime Noi healed Ebisu before her fight with Nikkaido, and it was hinted that she had healing magic even sooner. That being said, I agree that Nikkaido inflicting gruesome injuries and Noi visibly healing herself would make their fight look a bit better.

What is this [S T A N D] going to do? Once its crossed through the barrier, what's it going to do? When it comes in here, and reads my [P O S T S], what's it going to do to me?
Personally I'm really digging the CG, it just gives it something a bit unique right down to some of the jank.

Also gotta love me some 80s muscle bros/gals.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I just started reading the manga a week or so ago and it's so... Refreshing? Like sure the world is gritty and awful and there's literal demons from Hell, but some of the demons run a hot spring where lava from Hell heats the water, and they're all chill and pleasant. It's just such an interesting world.
