Is manga s*** spoilered here? I wanna discuss the movie.
I assume yes since this is mostly an anime only thread
i’m 30 minutes into it but man, this is visually such a downgrade and i just need to rant somewhere lmao
season 1 was like what studios usually do for movies. the shading and lighting were so dynamic and with softer complimentary colors. i loved how the animation was fluid and mimicked actual film making. the transitions, the angles, the “camera” movement.
the movie looks flatter and like any other typical anime. there’s constant planning and rotating with hard cuts. it’s not bad by any means, but again, it looks like anything else.
just knit picking and it won’t ruin how i feel about the movie but it’s honestly such a shame because season 1 was special
i feel like people (especially season 1 defenders) need to genuinely do a reread of csm part 1 because this movie was the most accurate depiction of it from a visual and humor standpoint lol
also imagine looking at the pool scene or literally any bit of the last half of that movie and thinking it was a downgrade visually
no spoilers but i finished it and it was pretty awesome. loved the sound design and music especially.
the animation does go all out in the third act. like really all out. it reminded me of JJK but on steroids. made sense once I saw MAPPA in the credits.
but then i looked up who did season 1 and it was them so i was even more confused lol. something about the Japanese audience hating season 1’s style and they fired the director and made it more “true” to the manga. idk, i do not keep up with stuff like this.
it is what it is but it’s funny seeing redditors glazing the hell out of this, throwing words like “cinematic” just because big animation sequence goes BOOM lol
i’d give it an 8.5-9/10. it’s structured like an actual movie instead of episodes tied together. would definitely watch again especially since those fight scenes get so bonkers half of it doesn’t register
its not in the movie
also this nigga was lying like s***

to be fair, i did not read the manga lol
in general i get why people want a faithful adaptation of their favorite books, manga, video games, etc. but it doesn’t have to be 1:1. like… they’ll always have the source material. like Jay Z’s “want my old music buy my old albums” or whatever bar
i think an ideal compromise would have been to change the art style to fit the manga but retain the fluidity of the scenes

Bro there legit was moments comparable to that sukuna fight

I definitely need to get a physical of this when it drops
Imma read the manga. Season probably in like 2027 f*** this s***.

Did yall watch subbed or dubbed
typing up 600+ character post 30 minutes into the film..

555 characters to be exact
in my defense, the dub was the only screening i could make it to and i typed it up fast during a montage.
you seriously in the movie theater ranting on ktt?
yes, i was; the hater in me got the best of me, lmao. i'm over it though. if i can't move past it than i am no better than the manga readers that want everything to be exactly the same.
