    From the Tokusatsu thread, and Fuuto PI Episode 3 spoilers, here's a small show of why people love these ridiculous shows about Karate Bugmen:
    Is also a very impressive management of CGI. All the long distance shots are 3d, but the closeups are all 2d and the transition is almost seamless. This is very well crafted.

    For folks curious about new Berserk, here's a comparison of the artwork between the two (minor spoilers for at least one character's appearance in the latest chapters). Worth noting that only digital format is available for the new stuff so far, and when in print the contrast will likely be turned up (some of the newer artwork looks kinda washed out in comparison, particularly the Casca panel).

    So yeah - there's definitely a slight dip in quality, but if they can keep up monthly releases, I'd say it's a more than acceptable one.
    personally i'm a lot more worried about the writing holding up than the art, is the thing

    (this isn't me saying the new writing is bad, i have not read it yet)

    though i mean, i feel like they already missed the easiest layup in the world by not making the first chapter back a "hey what's Rickert up to?" chapter

    Supposedly they're working directly from the planned story beats as laid out by Miura to his best friend some time ago, so the lack of infuriating scene-changes is on him I guess.

    Yea but story beats and story are just different. Telling someone what happens in a movie in 5 sentences vs. drawing it out and building tension and a beautiful cathartic climax. The story beats might be the same, but the writer and director have been completely swapped out.

    That is to be expected.
    All I want is the story to be finished.
    I never expected the same quality because then what was the point of Miura?

    He can't be replaced.

    The loss is his legacy. The absence of awe tells us all the more keenly how gifted he was.

    We arent getting Berserk finished. We are getting a best possible draft by people who truly care about finishing another man's lifes work in a form other than nothing. We'll have to live with that.

    If Miura wanted them to continue then I'm okay with them doing so. That's pretty much the sum of my thoughts on the matter.

    I like the top comment on the link.
    They’re here to finish what was started not replace it

    Another comment reminded me that the folks working on it are literally people who Miura trained and worked alongside for years. I think he'd be proud to know that they're the ones finishing what he started.

    The time and work dude put into the art is very likely a large part of what killed him.

    Maybe I don't need as good of art if it means killing someone. I'm ok with that.

    That's not true, the reason it's been taking so long is because he stopped killing himself drawing it, over a decade ago.

    I'm glad Miura's team was so supportive, I'm still irritated that no one honored Satoshi Kon's final wish to finish his movie.

    Last night on Animenagerie, we finished Rolling Girls. I think I have a better grasp of the plot than some, but it still had some plot beats that confused me.
    Also, I'm surprised that Chiaki just leaves at the end and never comes back. When they timeskipped for the last few scenes I assumed it was going to be for showing her return, but nope.

    In Slayers, we were introduced to Prince Phil and the ways of the pacifist. Also Randy was there.

    In regards to Slayers, those of us that had seen it before had forgotten that Zelgadis, Amelia, and Phil all have different voice actors up through episode 13, and then settle on their regular ones after that (Amelia and Phil only get 3 episodes with their original actors).

    Lastly we watched Golden Boy, the man who can shift his appearance from Jojo character to full-on Looney Tunes at the drop of a hat. All I knew about Golden Boy was the "I Want to Ride My Bicycle" amv and that it was perverted. I was not prepared.

    Manga plus splitting two page spreads in its vertical reader is terrible. They definitely are able to do it correctly, they just don't care.

    The words in the horizontal reader are barely legible.

    That's... exactly what Good Omens is. An angel and a devil are besties who'd rather have fun and enjoy humanity than deal with being on opposite sides of an apocalyptic war.

    Tonight I watched Robot Carnival, the anime anthology film from 1987.

    I found it quite good. I vastly preferred the shorts that possessed no dialogue, but overall that was a very relaxing & enjoyable movie.
