I look forward to random internet nerds whining about whatever the studio has to do to make that broadcastable on Japanese television.

Strongest Sage with Weakest Crest is funny. The whole episode just goes I AM SPEED. The MC just reincarnated himself, we meet the new MC, MC meet the other 2 main characters, magic school time, training with OP MC time, tournament time, vs demon time, tournament over. All in the span of 1 episode. Gotta go fast indeed.

I guess we'll see if they pull the "shove the exposition into the second episode" move, but judging by the episode title I suspect that this won't be the case.

genius prince's production looks completely busted, they didn't even finish the OP on time

That pan over the castle looked like it was rendered in threes if I'm being generous.

The rest of the stuff after that looks like they are just straight up shots from an episode of dialog rather than anything made specifically for the OP too. Every shot has someone flapping their mouth.

Apparently it was actually in twos, but it just looks off probably because there is no motion blur whatsoever and is probably not key framed particularly well.

maybe realist hero should have had enough funny shots to hook me, which genius prince did

good luck to watchers of both shows though :cheers:

With bonus of Takahashi Rie as Ninim or however her name gets romanized

realist hero was not even well produced in its first two episodes, unless you are just always grading on a curve

Genius hero wasn't exactly better considering how bad it looks in motion and the fact that they clearly had to just use episode animation for both the OP and ED.

I dont really see unfinished ops or eds as much of a bad sign, loads have great shows (looking at shaft) have those

Maybe not on their own, but in combination with everything else it is. The director is clearly writing checks that the team can't cash, though that's nothing really new in TYOOL 2022

dogsicle posted:

i just have a hard time imagining there's much difference in the failings of both shows' productions, from what I've seen of the genius hero premiere. would agree that neither is particularly good in that regard.

The main saving grace of Realist Hero is that for better or for worse they're mostly adapting the underlying story faithfully. We'll have to see if Genius Prince proceeds at ludicrous speed for the rest of the season. I will grant Genius Prince's underlying drawings, especially of the main characters, are of much higher quality, but the actual movement ranges from "this is pretty standard" to "wtf how are they not using decades old animation tricks to make this not look awful"

shuumatsu no harem didn't make it the 3 episodes i usually give anime before dropping them. it's just bad. and with all the censorship it's not even worth watching for the porn.

But if you get to three episodes you can put it on your worst of 2022 list instead of just most avoided!

Was it just me or were the wide angle shots of the shop background filtered photos?

The only way that shop doesn't show up again is if they cut out literally every time Gojo goes to buy fabric.

Genius Prince continues to give me huge Youjo Senki vibes with smart plans getting dicked over by dumb misunderstandings and sheer bad luck. I thought the plot would be derailed by some scheme or antagonism but the duke's idiot son showing up unexpectedly and dying in the most ridiculous, suspicious way possible actually feels really true to history.

He really is basically Tanya except dealing with national policy instead of military action. They appear to have made an actual OP after skipping it entirely last week, though they still did credit roll over actual plot/conversation. Also Rieri continues to be good.
