If the recent pattern of "great show, meh show, great show, meh show" holds then we should get a great new Precure!

Next anime season is looking pretty crazy, again.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/51678/ You've got the Mushoku Tensei studio doing a comedy genderbend SoL that had me fooled into thinking it was prime Dogakobo while watching the PV.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/51105/ Nier Automata anime by A-1.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/52031/ The supposed 'actual' Junji Ito adaptation which will make up for the godawful one that came before.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/53213/ Then to top it off Gen Urobuchi making an original samurai action anime.
There's a lot more, especially when it comes to sequels, but that's what immediately stuck out to me. Also the Trigun anime, but I'm more worried about CGI than excited for it.

The difference here is that the rangers are the villains. You can read the first chapter to get the whole premise, but that's basically it.
By the way, here's the trailer:

>>109956 >>109960 I'm fine with it. Mario RPG aged gracefully enough that it doesn't really have much to gain from getting a remake (unlike, say, Paper Mario 64), so they could've done literally anything with this and I wouldn't have minded. What they
did go with, basically recreating the original game's graphics in real-time 3D, is probably the best choice they could've made.
I also appreciate that, for the most part, they're using the original Mario RPG designs, as opposed to going back and putting everything on-model. The main Mario designs standardized around NSMB, and for the most part, they've been pretty strict about sticking to them. It's neat to see them use the Mario RPG toads, for example.
>>109956 >Kinda funny, because a lot of original Super Mario RPG stuff were 3D renders that were then traced or whatever you would call it. The word you're looking for is 'prerendered'. They'd take a 3D model, render out images of it on a fancy-pants graphics workstation, and then use those images as sprites in a game. The specifics vary, and there's a good chance they messed around with the renders afterward in a program like photoshop, but broad-strokes that's what they did.

Ironically for how done to death comic book characters can be they'll probably be a breath of fresh air in the isekai genre.

Tencent bought Visual Arts which is Key by another name.
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-07-27/tencent-to-purchase-clannad-kanon-air-publisher-visual-arts/.200709 Apparently the company has a successful gacha that made way more money than any VN (of course) so that was probably why it was purchased. Key is generally spoken of in a past tense and methinks this will solidify that fact as it becomes a footnote in a conglomerate's portfolio. Alas, these are the times we live in as the video game industry continues to amalgamate into a few giants. If not for indie games and a few Japanese companies things would be looking quite bleak.

>>123389 Oh, wow. It's still so strange to think of how it started and how it is now. It was just a cute comedic thing with some silhouettes or bulges here or there. I actually did read the first 5 or so chapters when they were out and never expected it to go this way. I kind of expected that one theory I heard where
the human girl is actually a succubus and that's why everything is so lewd around her, so seeing that womb tattoo thing in the corner of my eye in that image made me think it was real. Huh. It is amazing art, top of the class, really. Although, I do kind of miss the ecchi humor stuff. I think a split into a side R18 doujin while maintaining a more silly (and lower detailed and easier to draw) main story would fun.

After waiting for many years (or 1 extremely long one), Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch finally had a BD torrent uploaded to nyaa. And yet I hesitate to download.

>>124868 I don't think that game is going to do well. It looks like it's trying to copy the art style of Overmatch but without the graphical quality or the character of Overwatch. There was nothing about the gameplay that really showed it to be all that different either, it was also just a downgraded Overwatch.

>>117544 The DDDD movies have been turned into a show... or something? It's already started airing! Episode 0 seems to be an epilogue, so uhh... don't watch it. I don't know what the deal is with that. That's worse than what they did with Higurashi Gou (or was it Sotsu)
It's definitely worth trying it in the summer seasonal stream just based on the manga. It looks very pretty and atmospheric, but I'll hold off on watching it for now.
The nyaa comments are very unhappy about the subs, but they're never happy so I don't know if it's meaningful or not. There's certainly time for fansubbers to step up to the plate.

KUON! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3074840/Utawarerumono_ZAN/ Utawarerumono ZAN is coming to Steam! I really hope this isn't the big announcement that was supposed to be in November. It can't be, right... I mean, they seemed excited about it. No one gets excited about ports and Aquaplus hasn't really done anything lately... Come on Aquaplus, it's your 20th anniversary and you can't just do a remake and a port!
But, I'm still VERY happy about this! ZAN is something that's currently stuck on PS4. It's the story is Utawarerumono 2 and it's a musou game. I've heard some of the story moments are superior to the original. ZAN 2 is something that was never translated, but it's the same thing but for Utawarerumono 3. Please buy 500000 copies!

>>131942 >It's the story is Utawarerumono 2 and it's a musou game Bleh. "Its story is that of Utawarerumono 2". I'm sure some stuff is removed and some other stuff added. I haven't read too much about it, but I know there's minor differences. Personally, I think Utawarerumono 2 and 3 had absolutely fantastic real-time tactics gameplay. But, I do like musou games, too. There is also a ZAN 2 that is naturally a retelling/whatever of Utawarerumono 3, but it was never brought over. I kind of wish I had money so I would have bought the collector's edition for this stuff even though I didn't have a PS4. Oh, well.
I should have attached the Steam video instead. YEAH! Its theme (sung by Suara of course) is very good!

Apparently some episodes of the Ranma remake and a couple other things were leaked and you can find them on nyaa. But, they're low resolution and lack subs so I'm not really that interested in them.

Maybe other party members will be the cute flatties that people remember from Atelier. It does kind of feel like Atelier is maintaining its pure sexy appeal direction instead of being a mixture of cute and sexy. (Well, the oldest Atelier games had boober alchemists)
After looking at my old screenshots, she does remind me of Sophie a little, although Sophie was a bit more plump.

>>133004 Well, thematically it's more sexy than cute. I think it's kind of similar to Monster Hunter in that it sought more mainstream appeal which means it may alienate long term fans that were in it for specific reasons. Atelier has gone through a few stylistic changes over the years, though, largely when it switches artists. That there's a video that recognizes overseas fans is pretty crazy when Atelier was previously joked about for being so extremely niche with few sales.
I guess in general it feels a lot less like relaxing Gust SoL and more general, uhh.. what would you call it, regular video game stuff?

By chance while watching a speedrun it mentioned Lunar in the State of Play video >>>/jp/81254
There's a Lunar Remastered Collection! I have mixed feelings. Lunar was huge to my young mind:
>>96100 But, it's just I'm tired of remasters and remakes. The first Lunar has been redone like 6 times across so many different platforms, but it's actually new that the second one gets acknowledged. But, hmm... if they do an accurate translation then it could be worth it. Not buying a PS5 for it, though.
The dream of a Lunar 3 is as far as ever. Oh, I remember taking part in forum threads sharing theories of what Lunar 3 would be about...

Simply porting the assests to pc elden ring makes sense. But if a true PC port actually comes out with the remake like many people expect then its going to be an absolute disaster for anyone who touched these projects. Could be really sad to see tbh.

Looks like the whole Utawarerumono trilogy is coming to the Switch
https://aquaplus.jp/uta/ns/ Very unlikely this is the Utawarerumono announcement as the big Aquaplus 30th anniversery event is two weekends from now. Japanese websites can be so pretty, so very un-modern in all the good ways:

So this might be something to make a thread for since it seems pretty big, but for start I'll just post it here:
https://blog.nicovideo.jp/niconews/231350.html The short of it is that NicoNico stuff is now going under region locking. For me anyway, I can still access videos, but NicoNico Seiga is blocked. Trying to go to an illustration I was looking at gives me this:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/region_restriction Their reasoning is stated by:
>However, with the changing times and the diversification of devices, it has become necessary to take comprehensive measures that consider not only Japanese laws but also recent social conditions, international circumstances, and foreign laws. >After careful consideration, we are reviewing the scope of regulations to ensure the continued operation of Niconico and its services, while maintaining our compliance with Japanese laws. This includes revising regulations on content that may violate foreign laws or offend public order and morals. I'm not smart enough to really think about the future ramifications and what this means in the long term. My gut tells me they don't want to put up with gaijin internet anymore and considering the shit Japanese creators get over social media like twitter I can see why, but that's just gut feeling and not founded on much else but anecdotal evidence.
Either way I'll just leave this info here as that and let you come to your own conclusions and people more savvy than I discuss.
