Yes

though it depends on the Manhwa.

I don't read GOH for a riveting story, I read it for the fights/combat, and that hasn't dropped in quality over the 300+ chapters. The storytelling definitely has suffered a bit though.

I feel like if they’re able to add new scenes or decide the order or the arcs to adapt, that is due to creative control

It would be logical to take on less anime but unfortunately, they want to make money. So they’re only going to want to make more and more anime. This is why I feel once we get to a point where animators are paid better and there’s more out there in these studios, it’ll only be because these studios will be s***ting out tons of corporate mediocre anime and we will never see creative ones dropping.

Also, if a popular work has like 250-300 chapters that seems pretty normal tbh. I went to check my list to see how long most of the stuff (that I've documented, at least) was and it ended up being around there.

Problem is when you have manga that aren't like One Piece and maintain the quality over 1000 chapters, like Hajime no Ippo (which has been snooze for arcs at a time in recent years)

It is pacing too fast. It is episode 10 and they have passed the prelim phase of the Shaman Fight. Like hello.

No development for Yoh, Ren, Horo or anyone.

Really, really sad about this tbh.

what is an example of a corporate mediocre anime lol

Vinland Saga - Guts story in a viking setting

Houseki no Kuni - causes shambles too but at a cosmic level

Kingdom - it's like the early Golden Age arc where it focuses on military, wars all that but at a bigger scale. Takes place during the ancient china period

Blade of the Immortal - MC is a lot like Guts but this one is a samurai story

Japan Sinks
The Promised Neverland
B the Beginning
Carole and Tuesday

P much whatever is coming from Netflix tbh

Honestly the webtoon format these manhwas have is kind of like cheating because they have more empty background than viewers would realize. The average content told in a chapter is a lot less than what is done in a manga. Maybe like 8 to 12 manga pages

Also peep A Wonderful New World. That's my favorite manhwa

Special Vinland saga announcement on July 26, could be a s2

But almost certainly not this year

The horse girls are unstoppable.

My thoughts on this are: only one of those is adapted from an original source material, and I'm not sure what crack the producers of the show were smoking when they wrote season 2.

Most anime are going to be adapted from source material (because it's easier to market off of a popular/rising manga/LN than it is to market and gamble on an anime original being good)

So even if wages rise, I don't think we'll be stuck with a bunch of mid Netflix originals.

Do you consider the ~40 anime per year that Kadokawa wants to produce as corporate?

Do you consider anime adaptations of the most popular shounen jump series by Mappa to be corporate?

These are corporate only in the number, but it’s clear when you see the kind of anime being made that there is a lot respect for the creatives to make what they want and their styles are retained. Like when it comes to the Netflix anime, every anime they produce, you just get this very restricted feel to all of them. They all seem watered down and they all follow a generic structure of being around 11-13 eps. It’s not like Re:Zeros first season where you will get 25 eps that allow for changing up entire post credits sequences or literally getting a drastic boost in the animation quality randomly for a crazy fight scene in the latter half of the season.

Yeah they’re corporate in the number of anime they want to produce, but they aren’t restricting these creatives to make only one type of anime and they let a lot of their directors do exactly what they want. With the Netflix anime, s*** is so watered down and you can tell the creatives are being told to make this s*** safe.

Again, I don’t think it’s the issue of POPULARITY or QUANTITY. It’s the issue of creativity and it’s just obvious with Netflix that creatives are heavily restricted. This is also why when it comes to movies and TV, they force the filmmakers to shoot with only one kind of camera because they require a 4K mandate. This is why all their s*** has the exact same visual aesthetic. Netflix is a death haven for creativity

damn, we need this show back asap. szn 1 was a banger

Well whether or not it’s coming from a source material, the execution alone is very restrictive

You can tell the hard cut requirement for the promised neverland seasons to be 12 eps a season is what led to s2 being a train wreck

Similarly even when C&T was allowed to be 2 cour, it likely ended up being Watanabes worst work because of repetitive and surface level it was and I feel a lot of Netflix anime in general have this problem. Even Violet Evergarden, despite its fantastic animation, had this exact issue as well

I’m really just going off of Netflix because I think for wages to get better, that’s what studios will have to turn into

My head f***ing hurts. Netflix isn't even on the production committee for the majority of the anime on their platform. The anime was already green-lit by the production committee and nothing about the show would change whether it was Netflix, Crunchyroll, or whatever other streaming service bought the rights to it. I'm convinced you're just an elaborate troll at this point.

Me next year when Chainsaw Man, AoT S4 Part 2, JJK Shibuya Arc and MHA next szn airs

MS HONDA
Everyone loves you

Why didn’t we get to see the final banquet

What they green light is very indicative of what they want to see. You really think Netflix has no say when they’re putting up the money? You sound delusional af

Again I’m not sure what makes you think Netflix or guys from Netflix have to be attached as producers, because they rarely ever are even on Netflix originals. You realize most production committees come from the creator’s side right? We almost never see names associated with Netflix credited for producing. But they still get to pick what they want to fund and they get to negotiate whatever restrictions or creative decisions they want to make when they put down that money for distribution.

That show made me heart warm

F***

So selfless

Restarted AoT and...

Hm everything does make sense with time now. Not everything but a lot.

Anime only

I have one question though

In the credits of last season fruits baskets who was that in the first pic with the grey hair?

Would’ve been nice to see the goodbye party or something but still a perf ending for me <3

There’s also gonna be a spin off with Tohru’s mom so that’s gonna be nice. 2022 I think

That looks like Mitsuru, Shigure's editor that yells alot

Ohhhhhh that’s right! Thanks fam
