>>122457 Eh. I think it's just nostalgia that's clouding people's vision. If you watch the anime again, pay attention to Holo's height. It's all over the place. In the OP and in early episodes, Holo is only just barely taller than Lawrence's waist, and at other times she's only a head shorter. Inconsistent depictions is on-brand for Spice and Wolf.

Also if you're going to download to try it (which you should) apparently there's some problem with how it was done and mtbb has an upload available on nyaa:
Crunchyroll’s video (and the video of other foreign distributors, like Baha) is missing a field. That means that the image is basically 1920x540. This encode doesn’t restore the missing information, but it at least fixes the aliasing caused by the missing field. Thank you to zewia for identifying the problem.

>>122792 It's mostly the same regarding that. There are a few key differences in the reboot compared to the original that I noticed however (I'm also watching the original afterwards in order for the reboot to not override my memory of it):
- Chloe is replaced by a guy called "Yarei" in order to fulfill her role of pretending to be Holo in the festival (it's like that in the LN/manga too)
- The vegetation is more lush, green and vivid (this seems to be due to the original apparently taking place in Autumn. Not sure which season it is in the reboot)
- The couple at the beginning of ep 2 is younger
- Holo doesn't shake her tail to dry herself (a real shame, I loved that scene)
- There isn't a rainbow over the church
And also minor nitpicking stuff like Holo doing the whiskers with her fingers instead of 'drawing' them in the air:
>>122457 I do still stand by what I said here though. There was no need to change her design that much.

Sentai Daishikkaku or uhhhh "Go Go Loser Ranger" looks pretty cool. Its premise is explicitly anti-status quo and that makes me wonder how far they'll go with it. It immediately strikes you with some 3D which it uses a lot of but decently, but the 2D they're certainly not skimping on. I do like me some meta, and the way it uses on-screen text reminds of KLK too.

Anonymous posted about manwha it in the blog thread and I'll move a step up from that by moving to here. They were quoting this article:
https://screenrant.com/solo-leveling-documentary-manhwa-overtake-manga/ The pro-manwha argument boils down to this: manwha is better suited to phones, phones are everywhere, therefore it's easier for growth to be had.
The problems that come with it the writer admits in their second paragraph:
>Some of the best aspects of manga like double-page spreads, and unique paneling do not always translate well to a vertical scroll format like that of manhwa. Then immediately contradicts it in the next part:
>That said, manhwa's vertical scrolling style does not sacrifice any of the advantages offered by manga's unique paneling. Similar to manga, vertical scrolling can also control the pacing, tension, time, and flow of the story being told. This isn't true, he's obviously bullshitting. Especially because of this other idea quoting from a head honcho:
>The very act of scrolling to read gives it a kind of feeling of movement, such as the movement of a gave or flow of time. If you don't like them you'll say it's dumb from the get-go but even if you're a supporter I'm certain it's more of a novelty than anything. Good manga convey this flow through their paneling, that's basic stuff, Mr. Bum Gang is essentially celebrating the fact that webtoons have pidgeonholed themselves into a single panel structure. Solo Leveling manages to have wide shots of battlefields by tilting its panels in a way that is honestly rather interesting (pictured: chapters 165 and 135 respectively), but these are things that would be typically be achieved via a spread which is infinitely more workable and readable not only as a book but with a tablet or PC. Even on mobile the way it asks you to tilt your head is wonky. And if a manhwa wants to, for example, show a group of people in any setting like a room, it often has to cut what would otherwise be a single image in half then put the two disconnected panels one below the other and this does happen very many times. The amount of versatility it loses is greater that it seems at first.
But the real kicker is that if you look at the paperback here, you'll see it's essentially an adaptation:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/983740354/solo-leveling-i-alone-level-up-full-set Why? Because suddenly you have to refactor this single loooong strip into a book and that requires rearranging its panels into the traditional configuration since that's the way that makes sense for anything that isn't a phone. And paperbacks are how you make money, not webtoons, so you're banking on people purchasing an inferior product as your method of income unless you're planning out both formats in tandem and then that demands extra work from everyone involved when at first I'm not sure there's even a guarantee it'll sell whereas a manga comes bundled in magazines getting at least somewhat of a headstart from that. These divergences are non-trivial in both the short and long term, putting aside that Korea doesn't have anywhere the level of refinement Japan's culture industry has evidenced by the fact its animation is Japanese-made.
Finally, I'd disagree with >>123094 because the article states these chapters are pre-made as a whole and then distributed in batches, circumventing the usual problem of burning out from a constant schedule. The one truly interesting comment from the article is that apparently they're including sound effects and animation too, which makes me think they're gonna be going down the Homestuck route funnily enough. Evolutionary convergence and alla dat jazz, though again gimped.

> Fail fast fail often The more rough and rapid pace of manga means that ideas can get cancelled much easier and there's a greater emphasis on presenting things as interestingly as possible on as little a budget.
The inherent problem with the coloring approach where they write up the entire story then release it weak by week, is they have to do market analysis ahead of time to determin what is good or ornot. This encourages only the safe decisions to be made while shonen jump can take more risks and cut an author if he isn't up to par with what people are feeling right now

That's also true for others I've seen recommended like The Greatest Estate Developer, Return of the Mount Hua Sect, or Omniscient Reader. On top of that, I doubt most manga are actually that reactive when they don't have the obligation to keep going as it happens with the giants, though it's not something I can say I've looked into.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakuman and a large part of it is that there's a lot of reactivity and that people can settle into established tropes, but it can be soul crushing if they don't enjoy it.
> WN vs manga I'm not sure how different that is from manga as well, but for people who try to get spots in serializations I believe it's a matter of submitting one shots to industry's and building an internal reputation as a reliable author

Not a fan of manhwa, but I don't see why they don't just print vertical books. It would be easy to create a book that's 10cm on the x axis and 30cm on the y axis, and has its back at the top.
It would not be easy to store this book alongside traditional books, but if you're a manhwa fan and buy lots of them, that's not an issue.
Once the artist knows to split panels aftre every x pixels to account for pages, you can have your cake and eat it too.

I'm pretty sure I can see a bit of 3D in here, but it's not at all extremely standout or an eyesore. If it is CG then non-toei/orange studios are really making strides into perfecting the mixing of the two. At first I was mostly just passively interested thinking it to he a work anime but the hook at the end has me interested in seeing more as maybe this could be a cooler version of
Mato Seihei from last season. Or maybe something a bit close to Witchblade. I'd dig that.

>>123421 I guess I should give my basic opinion. It's kind of what you'd expect from a Pri show. Nothing terribly exciting, but it's cute. The 3D for the singing segments is pretty good, although I'd of course prefer for them to be 2D. Definitely a recommended show if you like this kind of thing, but yeah it's not going to blow your socks off or anything.

Huh, something too strange to be a coincidence. The Sentai show shares the same OP musician AND the same ED musician as Idaten. I think the OP looks kind of similar style-wise, too.

So the reason the new Yuru Camp artstyle is different isn't really because of the studio, but because that's what the recent manga art looks like. They're just being faithful to it. The earlier artstyle looked more like the first two seasons.

https://anilist.co/forum/thread/72855 >Tsutomu Mizushima, director of the new original anime “Train to the End of the World (Shuumatsu Train Doko and Iku?)” produced by EMT Squared studios and released this week. >Although initial impressions have been positive, it was director Tsutomu Mizushima who threw the bucket of cold water on Twitter, revealing that they haven't even finished the fourth episode yet. While it is normal within the anime industry for episodes to be finished a few hours (or sometimes even minutes) before they air on television, generally the only thing missing are small production details. >However, the words used by the director in question have made it clear that it is not “small details” that are missing: >The fourth episode is not ready yet. Is it okay for me to post on Twitter about this? Don't know. Please continue to support us over the next three months, even if it seems like a short time I won't be watching episode 4 until Saturday, but 3 was great and if there's really a decline then I guess he was entirely truthful and worried.

>>123658 It should have been pretty clear that it was going to be very episodic due to them literally having a list of stations to go through, no?
Things are moving quite nicely on the background, and the open world leaves a lot for theorizing. Things like the map, the acceptance of the inhabitants of each station of their condition, the stories mentioned during the flashbacks becoming reality... I think it's rather nice. The whole thing also fills me with a sense of dread that I rarely feel.

Womanizer tensei was alright, because it didn't have Rudy be a hero. But the plot completely sidestepped the idea that she hates her brother and redirected the idea that she has contempt for being compared to him onto some monologues about him being misunderstood. Makes no sense, human god at it again distorting all logic.

>>124297 This nuance is why the Monogatari series is good. Because when it starts getting more into the characters it presents situations in ways that they're not resolved, but the characters can move on with their lives

>>124295 The development was a bit fast, I can agree on that. But I don't think you're quite on the mark about why Norn was removing herself from class and holing up in her room. In part I think you could say that she thought Rudeus was a bad person, but that thought process didn't really align with all the events that occurred after she arrived at his mansion, nor did it line up with the impressions of Rudeus others around her had. In this way Norn was being stubborn because the first impression of Rudeus she had was so strong that she couldn't simply let it go and instead chose to deny reality. Wanting to get away from her brother and have nothing to do with him, she's assaulted by the barrage of questions asked of her and comparisons made between her and Rudeus. But because of her own willful retention of that first impression and denial of Rudeus she's unable to form connections with those around her through small talk which is most always started through trying to form a connection with her through her brother given his fame. She doesn't make her dislike known to everyone though so she isolates herself instead hating the expectations placed on her by the person she sees as trash. Rudeus opening himself up to her and apologizing works more as a way to show his own vulnerability and offer Norn a way to view him without seeing it as a facade to trick her. In that sense it's able to break through those first impressions and allow herself to accept him as her brother.
I think the author probably suffered as a hikkikomori himself for a time and as such wanted to write a nice recovery for Norn that breaks her out of her shell and allows her to live a happy life. It's more self-fulfillment fantasy on his end than an analysis of the greater human condition like Monogatari.

I can watch an episode of Hidamari or Aria, and even some more plot heavy anime while feeling totally satisfied. But with Tsukimichi every episode feels like it's running out of time to get to something interesting and is always just building up to things more than executing those build-ups. Leading you to want for those moments more and just get the buildup over with already. It'd be better if I were marathoning it since I'd be able to reach the satisfying pay off asap instead of needing to wait a week to see if something happens this episode or not. All watching it weekly really does is make me feel impatient.
Also probably doesn't help that there's not much to dwell on in an episode so all I'm really left with is a desire to be entertained more.

>>129192 Ah, yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe you can look forward to a BD bonus mini episode or something?

>>129379 Greetings. Not sure if anyone here is watching Blue Archive the Animation but my friend is a big fan. He noticed no one had released good subtitles/English translation for the last episode yet. The group that was doing it fell off the map last week. He translated the episode and released the scripts a couple of days ago. He was trying to get me into the series last night (gonna check it out soon). Long story short we released episode 12 with a decent translation last night.

>>129379 I finally got a chance to get through the first 6 episodes of this a couple of days ago. I really like it so far and I think the use of 3D was well done. The zombie episode was good stuff. I'm looking forward to finishing it whenever I find another 3-4 hours to zone out in front of the TV.
I haven't really gotten to watch anything from the Spring season yet. So I'm not sure how it compares to anything else that aired. But this one is probably going to be my favorite from this season for sure. I love the plot and animation. I really like the concept of the entire world going to shit because of the 7G network. Plus zombies that explode when they see pantsu is something I just can't not like.
I love shows like this. I too am also a fan of anime originals. I like shows that aren't tied down by a manga/VN/LN. That way I have no idea what I'm getting going into things. As much as I love to see a manga adapted it kind of sucks when you know most of the story going in and are constantly comparing it to what you've already read.
