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

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

eggbros dont go into the new special expecting an hour of original content, apparently half of it is gonna be recap so new content comes out to being just a normal episode's length.

Wow that’s amazing! Awesome

And yeah it was a great ending. I’m happy at how Yuki kinda started and ended it. Beautiful fam

Akito bloomed, that was honestly shocking and was a great part too

I hate finishing shows. What am I supposed to do now

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.

Akito and Yuki’s development almost had me tearing up

the scene with tohru’s mom asking kyo to protect her but she was struggling to get it out bc of the injury…. that hit me the hardest

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

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

They can't save the ending. They can either keep a status quo or make it worse.

Netflix been all misses since Devilman Crybaby. I wanted to watch B The Beginning because it kept popping up but everyone told me it's mid.

"just licensed"

You realize they still have to negotiate and agree with these companies about the kind of anime they want made for their company right? Even if they aren't involved in the creation process, licensors can still negotiate what they want or don't want in the content.

these anime studios making these works know fully that they are making it for a western audience. Its not like its some anime freshly made that they just happen to ship off to Netflix now. Its made to be corporate and commercialized for a western audience.

yeah funny enough I was reading an article that was also bringing up the weird thing about how "off" these Netflix anime feel and he said the same thing that he thought Netflix could be the force for funding anime that is too adult or "weird" for streamers like Crunchyroll/Funi when Devilman Crybaby came out

but since then, the trend has been that they are funding really "western" oriented visions that play it safe to a lot of the Hollywood tropes whether its B the Beginning or The Great Pretender or Carole & Tuesday, which feels more like a Disney musical than an anime.

I've actually been recommended Great Pretender. I want to watch it.

yea honestly im inclined to agree with that too, especially with only 1 episode length to try and turn things around. my opinion of the show has soured quite a bit since ive watched it but hopefully they can still salvage some of it here

The Great Pretender is actually pretty good, rare hit from Netfix on that 1.

can you link me showing me where violet evergarden was made "for" netflix

legit curious, i thought this was just a case of kyoani getting their show licensed

edit: also, i'd love some sources supporting that anime licensed by netflix are tailored and made "for western audiences", lol. things made and produced by netflix, sure, but either there's something i haven't seen or you are off your rocker if you think most of these animation studios are making anime marketed at a western audience lol
