I get what they are saying, but I do wish Japan and Japanese businesses would learn that Japanese IP law does not apply to anyone outside of Japan.

Japan’s IP laws are much broader and the judgements more strictly favor big business, whereas believe it or not, other countries like the US have it figured out slightly better. At least in the US there is actually a chance for the legal system to work correctly and not favor big business. In Japan, its all but automatically won in favor of the business.

The result of mixing the classic art style and traditional anime medium with modern computer assisted art.

I never expected this to make a come back

Is it as jarring as watching Evangelion Rebuild 2.0 and then immediately watching Evangelion Rebuild 3.0?

I discovered Goblin Slayer got a second season, so I have watched 5 episodes of it.

I like it so far, though I am not fond of it showing more of his face this time. If the show always showed his face I wouldn’t really have a problem with it, but by this point if they do it now, its weird. Hopefully they keep the helmet on.

Also glad the show doesn’t get so detailed as its first episode. It isn’t a bad thing, and it has its place, but I think having that first episode set up the show enough that it doesn’t need to do it again, and so far it hasn’t.

In my opinion? Yes. But I feel the same about most mainstream anime. Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, Jujitsu Kaisen, etc.

I don’t know if that’s the case, this is only what I read in the article. It’s certainly possible politicians are fighting among themselves, it happens all the time. Though I am doubtful they would fight about anime, that seems very unlikely.

While SB20 was originally passed with bipartisan support to fight AI-generated child exploitation, its vague and sweeping language is now the primary cause for concern. The bill’s author, Republican Sen. Pete Flores, stated that his intent was to send a “clear message” to child predators.

Seems the intention was good but they used language that was overly broad and they clearly did not know enough about anime to be able to use the proper wording when writing the law.

Netflix Jail means we set sail.

By “anyone can die,” do you mean “lots of randoms die,” or “any of the main cast of characters can unexpectedly die before the show ends?”

Its because Anno thought it looked cool and because advancing the plot required it.

I dont see how a minor touch-up is considered a restoration. Must just be a marketing term.

I mean, I like Perfect Blue so this is all good to me, just not a fan of the wording.

Restoration? What happened? Was the original damaged?

Yeah, I explained in another reply before when I first saw it, my frontend was cutting off the watermark and this was grouped with other posts that are official. It was a mistake. I discovered the watermark after viewing the full image.

I did not see the watermark as it was cutoff on my front end. Still looks lazy, but this post looked like all the other news posts I get that only post official artwork and such. Thus my confusion that this was an official announcement artwork.

For as much money as this show had to have made the studio, this image seems kinda lazy? I dunno, maybe its just me but this seems really plain like an intern made it.

The Halo TV show was bad because they told a story that was different from the story in the game. The live action Cowboy Bebop was bad because they told a story that was different from the story in the anime. The Silent Hill movies were bad because they told stories that were different from the stories in the games. The Witcher TV show… You get the point I think.

There are many reasons a show fails, and ignoring/disrespecting the source material is one of them. Adapting the content of a game into a movie does not mean it will automatically fail. The problem is that the filmmakers often ignore the source material, or deviate too greatly from the game’s content, likely because they try to add their own spin on it instead of presenting what is already handed to them on a silver platter. In fact, I cannot recall any movie based on a video game that accurately adapted the story of the game without making major changes. Except maybe the Japanese film “Yakuza: Like A Dragon” from 2007, which accurately portrayed events and characters from the game but was held back a lot by Japans at the time immature live action film production quality. Even then, the film still deviated from the source material. Its not that movies based on games cannot exist without changes, they absolutely can. Its just that nobody has done it yet, and I keep hoping the film writers can just swallow their pride and make something accurate to the source material without adding their own changes on top.

Edgerunners worked well because even though the story was different from what was in the game, it still respected the original source material of both the CDPR game and the original TTRPG. Trigger is a good studio because they are passionate and often show immense respect for outside IPs they contract with.

I appreciate the amount of detail they put into making this look like cel animation. Each frame of animation on characters have a slight offset shadow for example, which is a micro detail most people aren’t even going to notice until they read this comment and then check again, but it really sells the effect well. Cel animation looked like that due to the photographing process. Combined with the simpler color palette, it really made me appreciate the animation more than I usually would.

I mean, this is most likely still computer-assisted animation, of course. I highly doubt they would spend the time and many hours actually making an authentic cel animated trailer. But to all the people that said I was wrong when I said computer-assisted anime didn’t have to look so different from cel animation, this is a good example of what I was talking about.

The perfect anime is the one that captivates your interest for its entire length and delivers an ending that is satisfying. The story is completed, but you don’t want it to be.

I think the artist might have an Orc Fetish. I can’t say for certain, though.
