The New Release Club's General discussion

welp i finished a bad anime kumamiko so i guess im in a mood to be heavily disappointed. i have nothing to watch (hiding the fact my to watch list is still ever growing). im in.

im might be optimisting here as im seeing big names in the cast like Kitou, Akari and Uesaka, Sumire.

 

yey this one is on muse asia! i can watch at ease now while on duty.

just finished ep 1 aaaaaaand.

so about the whole ordeal about the animation, what are you talking about its just fine yo!


i was too focused on reading that the animation didnt bother me at all.

just kidding so they decided the 3D route for this one. i can see why its throwing people off. those eyes are just creepy as heck. it even reminded me of Kokoro from Bang Dream.


the animators of this series need to watch Shirobako about how to make movements as fluid as possible. scene cutting needs some work and not just rotate the camera on angles they want.

also, ill just leave this here.

Spoiler: cant they phrase this more subtly?

goodness gracious me phrasing PHRASING!

dont fall so deep translator san. i know the animation is bad but please dont do this anymore.

im having fun here.

 

ok so i caught up till ep 6 and boy they just added fan service to tone down how bad the cg is. as you guys already know that irks me. i hope they dont turn this into a harem one as yugu just got added and calls akira onii chan. *gives out a massive sigh*

man the backs of the VAs must be hurting at this stage carrying this show.

 

Last season watched:
Attack on Titan. It was okay, but really didn't appreciate the change in tone that it had from the rest of the series.

Promised Neverland. Yikes is all I can say, really.

Dr Stone. Almost as amazing as the first season was. Can't wait for the next one.

Mushoku Tensei. Actually so good. So much happens despite being "slow". Amazing world-building.

Re:Zero. It was good enough. Would have liked more than just one loop to have happened, but it was nice what was covered.

Spoiler: ReZero Spoiler

Rip Knife Wife... :'(

Redo of Healer. The absolute edge on this anime. XD Haven't finished it but will do sometime. Of course watched uncensored. One thing I really like about it is despite the atrocious acts he commits in the name of revenge, no one actually explicitly says whether it's justified or that he's going too far, but instead is completely left up to audience interpretation.

Kumo desu ga. I binged it all the other day and I like it enough. Holy hells I hate all the humans though. Like, can they be any less interesting? Has almost the same kinda vibe as Slime, but the fights and levelling are much more interesting. Also, why do I tend to have a thing for spider girls... (obviously the demon lord and not Kumoko)

That Time Slime. Also binged it all the other day (the day after spider). The first few eps were really a let down though. Kay pointed out to me that the storytelling really is just a sequence of events rather than a cycle of conflict and resolution. Man, it really picked up after a bit though. Was not expecting it to get edgy at all, but it was a very welcome surprise.

Spoiler: Slime Spoiler

Would have liked if Shion and the other victims stayed dead, to not remove the effect that death has. But, I did like the whole Become Demon Lord story. So edge.

On that note, haven't touched anything from the current season aside from Kumo leftovers. The garbage that is HeroAca is an obvious no. Honestly can't believe I stuck with it for four seasons... Other than that, nothing looks interesting apart from Max Level from Slimes which I might start soon.

 

so about ex-arm, im taking my sweet time finishing that one. a lot of sub plots got thrown and i get information overload also add that i watch one 1 ep like ever 3 weeks or so. cant remember details that long.

finished ep 10 yesterday aaaaand *sigh* it was messy. just that long back story from the auctioner and the stupid reason why he got stab.

 

I've been so reluctant to watching seasonals for a few years now. Even when i start a show, after a few weeks or, coming from winter, 1 week, i'd just stop watching a show, even if i was looking forward to it (ie: yurukyan s2 and non nonstop).

The only seasonal I've been able to keep watching now is Tropical Rouge Precure, but that's because I'm trying to watch all precure.

 

Wow, you actually watched Ex-Arm? Didn't you hear everyone saying how bad it was?

Still watching Kumo. It's nice seeing the mysteries unravel despite having been spoiled for a few things. Still hate the humans, still a simp for Ariel. I mean, just look how precious she is!

 

Doublepost but I doubt that matters when it's a ~10-day gap.

Watched ep 21 of Kumo, and wow. I didn't know that CG humans could legit look so much better than hand-drawn. Like, the studio should really just go full CG at this point.
Glad that I saw the title preview from last episode, letting me set my expectations low given spider wasn't in it.
