    the thing is in the first episode she's extremely naked so that's what people will remember

    Ah yes, "extremely" naked, the state where you have no clothes on... very much? A great quantity of no clothes on.
    I feel like those actually do convey two different things. Like, if you just said "she's naked in the first episode" I'd expect there's a scene or two where she's naked. Saying she's extremely naked has me expecting like, she's naked the entire episode.

    She's not naked for the entire episode. The main characters have a conversation where she is nude (because animal harvest goddess), when the terms of a deal are accepted, she then immediately adapts to human cultural mores and puts clothes on.

    If the first episode of the adaptation that already exists is anything to go by, she'll spend 95% of her appearance in the first episode naked again.

    So, you know.

    If you're expecting her to be naked for 100% of the episode, no.

    If you're expecting her to be naked for the overwhelming majority of her screentime in the episode, yes.

    That... Instead of just animating the mouth normally, you're going out of your way to create a distorted model to match a bad and lazy style thing done just to make animation cheaper.

    Why.

    Because that's what anime looks like! Anime has a side mouth. It doesn't have a front hole.

    Unlike a nude (cis)woman. Which is sinful to look at.

    Does that mean that looking at Anime is not sinful?

    Yeah, that video is pretty much exactly the same as those clips of dragonball fighterz viewed from camera angles you’re not supposed to.

    About 20 years ago when I was getting into 3d modeling I tried to model an anime character from yu yu hakusho. This was not a challenge I should have under taken. Anime characters are not dimensional objects. They make no sense. At one angle they are one shape, and at another angle they are another.

    Totally fine to look at naked women AND naked men and all the naked humans in between. I mean God even said he made us in his image, and what could be more virtuous than admiring the image of God a couple hundred times a day give or take. In fact use both hands and it's basically praying. Also you know what God always says, "Come unto me," so be sure to finish to really show your devotion. And remember, God's always watching!

    I think more offensive to me is anime that does half and half. Like the new AoT or Eighty Six, I dislike when they do the action/Mecha in 3D.

    Tonight on AniMengagerie S...

    Genjuro gets to sing in Symphogear! And he continues to be best dad in anime.

    We also finished SSSS.Dynazenon, and I have questions. Some of which will probably be answered by further researching the original live action Gridman.

    I'm pretty sure the concern with spice and wolf is less the nudity and more the nudity paired with apparent age.

    It's a weird place to have concerns. Most anime is about sexualized teenagers, the characters in Spicy Wolf are all adults.

    Eh. There's a difference between saying naked is bad, and that she's naked for most of the first episode. She is. I checked the tapes. She's in three scenes in the first episode, totaling about 8 minutes, of which she's naked in a little over seven minutes of them (though not on screen for all seven minutes of those scenes). Will adaptation 2.0 be different? Classier? Trashier? Who knows. Probably not made by a literal porn studio for a second time though.

    7 minutes out of a 21-23 minute episode is "most"? This must be that new math. I don't know if you know how weird this is... but it's weird! There's 13 episodes in the first season, and then 13 more in the second. This fixation on nudity is the weird part, not the anime featuring a pagan God having a MINUSCULE amount of nudity (fully in service of the plot) in it.

    Well, My Dress-Up Darling has a really nicely animated segment in the newest episode I was taken aback when it suddenly got very smooth and dynamic, felt like a budget flex for a rom com to go that hard. Was a very charming scene.

    so it looks like it's a drawing and not a 3D model
    there's a hundred thousand little things like that that makes 3D models with proper geometry and perspective look off when you're trying to make it look like drawings.

    Gundam is usually fine, afaik most (all?) of the Gundams/mechs etc are CG These days, it's just really, really well blended. But stuff like So i'm a spider suddenly going into CG mode can fuck riiiiight off.

    Finished Blade Runner Black Lotus. As said, it's a very sloooooooooooooow burn, but by the 5th or 6th episode or so I was really into the story. Also has some great fight choreography, reminiscent of the similarly excellent Blackout.

    Wouldn't mind seeing more of her, she's a fun character. It further cements my feelings on Blade Runner: it makes for a far more interesting playground for other writers to make use of.

    The Spider in So I'm a Spider looked fine in CG. Everything else...uh...

    Zombie Land Saga S2 also looked decent in a lot of their CG scenes, I thought (Season 1 was a bit rougher).

    I'm actually surprised some Dragon Ball video games have translated Goku and other character's hair from 2D to 3D fairly well. Conversely, Lisa Simpson is one I don't think they'll ever manage properly.

    Based on just that one shot, I'd probably have assumed that it was 2D.

    I saw a thing years ago that called attention to side mouth and how it makes no sense. Since then I started noticing it a lot more and I do not care for it. I recently watched Jujutsu Kaisen and I noticed that despite numerous shots of characters in profile talking, there was no side mouth to be seen anywhere and that was great.

    Side mouth is one of those limited animation tricks that doesn't tend to break my immersion unless it's really badly done, but I do positively notice when animators put in more effortful mouth movements

    Realist hero
    The prince and king were huge idiots. Destroying infastructure and reducing available food on top of decades of their previous bullshit could only lead to rebellion
    I'm not disagreeing, I just thought
    it wouldn't come to a head until later in the season, not the very next episode. Though I guess it did have a little bit of a poke from the Princess, too.
