Hopefully it stays away from CGI since it's Mappa's on it
Idk why I said this. I totally forgot Mappa was the one that started using CG in AoT while Wit was animating everything prior.

At the end of the day it's to each their own. I just don't anime translates well to 3D in general. Like, those shone jump fighting games or any animeish game where they try to go hyper realistic... Those characters look so gross to me.

All Might with realistic teeth in Jump Force still haunts me to this day.

On the flip side, CC2 certainly knows what they're doing. The Demon Slayer game doesn't hurt to look at, and the Naruto games have always been alright in terms of visuals.

Watched the first Camelot Fate Grand Order movie. Pretty good adaption and movie overall. Though they didn't adapt certain scenes I wanted to see....

Also a trailer came out for the Final Singularity movie coming this summer. Spoilers for FGO.

I spent the whole weekend battling with Microsoft customer support and my dying (now officially declared dead) laptop, so I needed to use today to catch up on all of my anime from the weekend and today. I thought Laika had the title of best girl basically clinched for Smile-Killing Witch, but now a loli demon lord voiced by Yukari Tamura shows up and suddenly it's a neck-and-neck race.

I finished penguindrum

it's kind of cool but also kind of incomprehensible a lot of the time. Also wins the award for highest amount of flashback spam I've seen in anime: I think episode has at least 1, and 2 or 3 isn't rare either. They range in duration from 10 seconds to probably around 18 minutes, and they range from flashbacking stuff from literally 1 episode ago to flashbacking stuff from over 20 years ago. There's even a flashback introduction cut-in thing that lets you know which character it's about, how long ago and where it was, and a short description of the flashback / relevance to the current story https://files.catbox.moe/m7bag3.mp4

I think its biggest problem is pacing. It's definitely too much for a single season, both content-wise and emotion/weight wise (because the last few episodes are very heavy) but I think the full 24 episodes was too much and it results in the first while being an extreme drag. I kinda wish it was aroundd 16-18 episodes but anime doesn't work that way unfortunately

I've seen a few original anime that I thought this about too, most recently Deca-Dence. It was 12 episodes and felt a bit rushed, but there clearly wasn't enough content for 24 episodes, so I felt like 16 episodes (or 12 plus a movie to finish it off) would have been the perfect length for it.

Saw an article today where Hayao Miyazaki said he considers the Demon Slayer movie to be his rival. Hopefully this means we'll finally get another good Ghibli movie if he wants to compete.

Also, god damn do I look forward to Mondays now. I'm almost tempted to start reading To Your Eternity now. And God damn Oddtaxi came out of nowhere. Pleasant surprise of a show.

Ahhhhh helllll yeah. Found a site that uploads komi chapters a day early. And it's a in Korean which is dope since I started learning that this year. Time to "study"

Holy shit
RIP to the GOAT. As a manga Berserk really is unmatched. Even though Miura was always putting it on hiatus, and it would take a year just for one chapter, he still put in a lot of effort to each chapter. It wasn't something that was just put out there for the sake of appeasing the fans/publisher/quotas etc.

Glad I've been buying the deluxe editions as well. Aside from Punpun and Vagabond, that's the only physical manga I own or really intend on continuing to purchase

Stalled my FOTS watchthrough for a while due to being distracted by games and this Ryuga arc not really seeming that interesting. Continuing it back up though, judging by the next episode title Toki is alive?! Woah, thought for sure Raoh killed him during their duel. It was certainly kind of presented that way with the graves etc. Either way I can't really see him surviving the series, would be very pleasantly surprised if he does.

Yeah, that's part 4. I've only seen parts 4 and 5, the 2 "modern" Lupin titles, when they aired on Toonami.

Parts 1-3 are really outdated, hard to find legally, not dubbed aside from part 2 being dubbed halfway and then stopped, and (most importantly) not necessary to understand and enjoy parts 4-5. There's also the "Woman Called Fujiko Mine" spin-off and some of the older standalone movies like Castle Of Cagliostro that might be worth checking out if parts 4-5 make you like the franchise, but parts 1-3 of the anime aren't worth it at this point.

I watched some of part 2 dubbed on Adult Swim back in the early 00's and got really into it actually. Middle school me thought it was super cool. I even bought the PS2 game that got localized. I think I traded it in to Gamestop or something but I wish I still had it.

I saw some of Fujiko Mine but lost interest about halfway through. Recently I watched the CG movie but thought it was pretty meh. I saw Castle of Cagliostro too.

Haven't watched a full Lupin series ever though, I think.

Speaking of dubs for anime that don't take place in Japan...

https://www.sentaifilmworks.com/a/news/official-sentai-august-2021-slate

...Sentai finally rescued Vinland Saga from Amazon and are going to dub it. Since the series takes place in Europe, I hope they give the characters the right accents like they did with Princess Principal's dub.

I mentioned Princess Principal yesterday, and speak of the devil, Princess Principal's first sequel movie is now available on HiDive as of today. It's sub-only for now, but hopefully Sentai will also dub it like they dubbed the TV series.

That being said, heres my most recent anime pickups

Ayy, Gravity Rush 2. Nice pick.

I'd say Gundam Unicorn needs a fair bit of context going in because it's pretty much the "latest" work in its continuity (barring the NT movie and the upcoming sequel projects), but supposedly people have watched the OVA series just fine without knowing anything.
(By "latest," I mean there are works taking place after it like F91 and Victory but those have virtually no connection)

Also, yeah, it's got a great soundtrack. One of the first places I heard Sawano's music from, and I've been a fan of his orchestral stuff since.

Some of my favorites:
