Never heard of DeepL, good looks

Pluto is good so far, but aside from Shinya Ohira (who's back must hurt from bringing all the sakuga) this show has nearly zero animation, and all that blame has to go to Urusawa for likely having too much control and restricting a lot what you can actually do in this medium

I was kind of initially blaming this issue on director Toshio Kawaguchi (he did AD the ugliest episode of Evangelion, due to Ghibli staff having no retakes, so not his fault entirely), but once again I feel like this wasn't his fault. This is pretty much a one to one adaptation and I feel like so much potential with the visuals was lost and in its place there is a lot of less than stellar cgi, and super bland compositing. You have animators like Hirofumi Matsuda on here and a ton of veterans who feel so toned down that there isn't nearly anything interesting or exciting. And it sucks that there was likely a lot more scenes that had to be changed over this time period with them likely going to Urusawa and him nixing them entirely.

And it's not like I am begging for more action, but the characters move so boringly and it's not exactly exciting watching two characters talk with minimal body language, only having Fugita's designs carry. It sucks, considering how long the show was in production, these scenes in the trailer didn't even make it in sakugabooru.com/post/show/240796 sakugabooru.com/post/show/240797 the credit list has a lot of talented animators and it looks like they did close to nothing, or were just guiltily tagged

Long story short, keep these heady authors away from animation if they had something more boring in mind, and they don't understand the utilization of the medium they have at their disposal

Puella Madoka Magical Girl is cool and all

But Madoka crying every gd episode starting to annoy tf outta me

anilist.co/user/Zaris hi sorry if my watch list looks like a first time anime watcher, cause I literally got back into it 3-4 years ago

reading Tranq's reviews are hilarious cause their 1/5s on my rating scale falls anywhere between a 1-6 out of 10 on my scale

so any cryptic notes makes it harder to envision where it exactly falls

What made you fall off and come back a super enthusiast

having the time to watch it

Time to peep pluto

more evidence that a lot of animators were not informed their scenes would be cut or modified with cgi

niggas don’t talk about dandadan enough

<100 completions caught me off guard considering how knowledgeable u are

great manga man
i thought the anime announcement would spark more interest

every week is peak art and story they been on a run for a minute

fs tatsu's art is always so crisp
seiko my beloved

Nahhhh

This show could’ve been so much more, I don’t think we’ve even seen a Kawaguchi interview yet

There is no a way a Ghibli animator like him would be this conservative

it's so good. easily my favorite weekly series i read rn other than one piece

who itt is RemiEva on anilist? meant to ask the other week when they followed me on there

great manga

though i will say, (and im not caught up) but dandadan story kinda feels like a lot is going on all at once atm

"Everyone isn't scum like me, so I know you guys are speaking your real feelings from the bottom of your hearts, but after creating something I'm not satisfied with, it actually hurts, so please just leave me alone.

I will make up for this in my future work. Until then, I'll live as the worst animator who tarnished this masterpiece."

It's actually not that bad of an auto translation tbh, not too different from what I got from it
