Under the Dog

Despite having a couple hiccups as well as its dumbass PR and marketing that was initially handled by CIA (who left the project anyway), yeah I'd say it was alright.

Faggots here are just so worried and paranoid about fitting in that they're encouraged to shitpost about it.

Overall I'd say it was good and I'd be interested in seeing this become a TV show.

>>145158638
'salright.
The only thing I was disappointed by was the fact that most of the action scenes from the trailer weren't in the movie, but I'm not upset about what I got.

It had some dodgy bits of quality here and there, but the way it introduced the characters and concepts gave enough information for me to be interested in it's world and themes, so more than anything i'm just hoping someone actually picks this up and gives it a full run.

If Production I.G. gets a hold of this, it could be the next Psycho-Pass.

>>145159008
>If Production I.G. gets a hold of this, it could be the next Psycho-Pass.

but it was shit

I really want to know what happened to the million dollar budget. Did it go to all of the American voice actors or something? There was QUALITY showing a good half of the time.

>>145159030
first season is an easy 7-8/10

Animation and world-building is above-average.
Character introduction us a bit iffy and they completely blew it when this mary sue character comes out of nowhere, and made the initial characters irrelevant.
It has a pretty bad delivery of the premise and everything is just confusion and chaos.
The action sequences give off an atmosphere of being in a real-military operation.
Overall, it's good. But not a great "pilot episode" if you will.

>great direction
>great animation
>great action
I honestly can't see any reason to dislike it

>>145159225
The premise is unappealing, so I'm not going to watch it, but I would expect a lot more from something that made as much money as it did.

>>145159225
For a million dollar OVA that wasn't even 30 minutes long, while at the same time having worse art and animation than Mob psycho, Tales of Zestiria, 91 days, and Amanchu it sure as hell was. The fucking solders looked like they had a coat of 3D slapped over them, and had completely washed out colors.

The best thing about under the dog was it got me to watch gunslinger girl.

>>145159273
>It has a pretty bad delivery of the premise and everything is just confusion and chaos.
Well, I disagree hard with that.
It established the premise pretty clearly if you pay attention, and it did it with almost no exposition whatsoever.
I'm seriously impressed that I understood the basic elements of what was going on without having to be info dumped.
This is what you get when you have serious time constraints to establish a story.

>>145159355
>worse art and animation than Mob psycho
hahahahaha, no.
>The fucking solders looked like they had a coat of 3D slapped over them, and had completely washed out colors.
And that's also not true.

>>145159008
Well, that trailer that was originally shown was merely a teaser of what the creators had to offer.

The story and screenplay hadn't been fully crafted yet so as such UTD went through a bunch of rewrites during its development.

They'll probably find a way to recreate those scenes should a TV series get greenlit.

And it's a Kinema Citrus property, so they'll handle it.

All they need is good producers like Netflix in order to provide the necessary budget for the show.

>mindless
>incoherent

I honestly can't see any reason to like it

This is the anime I'll always bring up whenever normalfags complain about otakus buying generic anime with high school setting plus some supernatural twist

I don't want to hear it from normalfags who are willing to pay 5 times more for the exact same shit

>>145158638
As a pilot it would be passable, but as a stand alone OVA episode (which is what it is) it's garbage.

>>145158638
>tits in front

what else is anime for?

>>145159133
>>145159355
The Kickstarter amassed $800K, and not all of it went towards the production. Much of it also had to cover backer rewards, marketing, distribution, etc. If you're seriously convinced that 100% of the money raised went towards the actual production of UTD, then you're a fucking idiot.

The soldiers look fucking awful, for having a standardized uniform and still managed to be the worst looking characters I've seen all season. How can you say this looks better than shows with 1/6th of the budget.

>>145159382
I may have used the wrong words. Yes I understand the basic premise with the way it was delivered without exposition at all, but it wasn't a strong enough premise to grip you throughout the show. Granted it was enough to explain why things are happening, but it wasn't enough to explain it on a macroscopic level.

>>145159382
yeah, if there's one thing I fucking hate in anime nowadays is relying on a massive fucking info dump to do their "world building"

Kiznaiver suffered terribly from this shit, and most MMO anime suffer from this shit as well. But despite this nearly 90% of every anime has some form of bullshit exposition where the characters waste your time by directly telling you shit.

>Oh this guy? He's _____, his family died in a tragic accident and also etc. etc. etc.
>this school was established to breed an army of cold blooded killers
>this world is fueled by the great power that is the crystals of karmic bullshit

For the amount of money they raised, and the fact that it was only one 28-minute episode, it should have been a lot better. 1 million can easily fund several episodes with better animation than what was given.

Know what's confusing? The artistic integrity that they wanted to keep using kickstarter. What was it that they wanted to use? A boob? That's literally the only thing that was different from other anime shows on tv.

>[To Morimoto] You were appointed to be Under the Dog’s new producer after Creative Intelligence Arts stepped away from the project. What was the first thing you had to do in your new role?

>Koji Morimoto, Producer: What I had to do first was to grasp the financial situation of the project. I needed to make estimates on all the production costs for anime making and physical rewards, as well as grasp how much is needed to run the project as operational expenses. Before I took on the role and responsibility to help produce the specifics of the project, I examined the budget distribution that was already announced during the Kickstarter campaign.

>I found out: 1) there is a high possibility of rewards costing more than the initial estimates (since there were expensive rewards such as figurines, etc. being included), and 2) there was practically no budget set aside for the operational costs—probably based on an assumption to rely on works by volunteers. Those were the major concerns for me and that’s why I needed to check the financial aspect of the project first.

Yeah sure.
It had barely any plot, no characters and it was boring the whole way through.
The MC appears at the last minute and the rest of the OVA focuses on a boring bland kid that just dies anyways.

>>145159562
Well, the original Kickstarter campaign WAS pitching it as a pilot episode, and there's already been talk of Netflix and/or Crunchyroll producing it as a TV show, so there you go.

It was okay but the original premise they pitched was a lot more interesting. The inclusion of a lot of supernatural aspects (and a school setting) really diminished any interest there was before. It's not as though expectations were particularly high to begin with but the creative differences and the new direction they took it was not the right choice.

>>145159974

It's almost like they had no confidence in it to begin with

after seeing voltron that's not a bad thing to hear.

>>145160035
That's just a rough average of a typical dime-a-dozen anime episode.

If you think that shows like Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and One Punch Man only cost about $145K per episode and are gonna use that as your info Bible, then you're retarded.

>>145158638
I personally would be interested in seeing it expanded. As it is now, it's kind of a throwaway action movie.

They pulled a fucking Ubisoft on us. The trailer looked great and the animation looked high quality. But the actual OVA was completely average at best. It disappointed me

Even with the breakdown about 40% of the money collected went into that OVA. Which is still far more than the average show.

They overspent and the final product didn't reflect the amount of money amassed.

We already established that not only did not all of the money go towards actually creating UTD (>>145159611), but that CIA were complete asshats who didn't have a good budget set aside for the project during pre-production and thought that they could just rely on Kickstarter bucks to cover the costs (>>145159974).

This explains why Kinema Citrus kicked them off the project and why CIA's other Kickstarter project, the JRPG Project Phoenix, has been delayed indefinitely.

>actually pretty good
It was good enough that I would probably give it the 3-episode test but it certainly wasn't anything special.

I wasn't even expecting much but I was still borderline disappointed. And I assume that the claim that they were trying to do something special that was somehow outside the bounds of what you could do with traditional anime was just marketing BS because there was nothing that really distinguished it from other run-of-the-mill anime. Everything it did, from story, setting, characterization, animation and action was average at best.

I think is was good, it has a lot of potencial, the action scenes looks good, all this pandoras, flowers, U.S. soldiers looks interesting. But i didn't like the characters QUALITY, looks like shit compared to the first trailer. I mean, they had 900k dollars, so i expected something with good quality and at least 55 min long.

Seriously, you see the OVA and think that it was done with 5k. Anyway, i hope Under the Dog receive a T.V. series, i will be disappointed if it ends like Arve Rezzle, in ''never ever''

Haven't felt this hyped in a while. Although I'm still not sold on this "ping pong is a sport" meme

How did people like this OVA? The art style was bland, the characters were shallow, the monster was just an EVA complete with AT field, and the main girl's super scifi gear is so out of place with everything else.

Were people too busy day dreaming about what this series could have been to realize what it was?

Not only were the advertised scenes in the trailer not even included but the actual quality of the show, which was the only thing I was interested to see in a substanceless OVA, couldn't even trump an average high end TV series. The worst part? It didn't even focus on cute bestiality-loving operator girls operating.

In a way, it really was reminiscent of those old forgettable 90s OVAs except it didn't have the animation quality to back it up. God fuck this just have some hack like Umetsu do another Mezzo Forte again. At least LWA actually delivered on the hype.

How was THIS going to save anime from moe?

Honestly even if this didn't turn out well I appreciate the attempt.
Kickstarter anime is the closest we'll be getting to a chance at something like the OVAs of the past in the current market.

Here, they tried to neglect as much air friction as possible, traveling past the speed of sound, not detaching herself from the speeding pod weighing several tons, basically, magic is required

Ga-Rei 0 did the same. The later protagonists come out of the nowhere at the end of the first ep.

As pilot episode works fine as everything could be explained later on. I actually prefer it than being given a dry explanation at the beginning. As stand alone ova though it fails.

Why aren't the well-seeded torrents on nyaa downloading? I've waited for 30 minutes and the progress is still 0 with over a 100 seeds and only a few other leech.

I did like how the animated people being blown away during explosions.

>>145168913
Figures, the pod deploys air brakes, but I doubt they do anything to safely drop the speed low enough.

Jesus there are a lot of fags in this thread that don't understand how financing a large project works. The budget for the actual episode itself was likely only 150 to 200k. Maybe a bit more but not too likely. There was a lot of shit from the kickstarter they had to fulfill.

The episode was pretty decent for what it was aiming to do in the time it had. The animation wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. Overall I'd say it's 7/10.

They broke it down themselves on their kickstarter page. They expected to pay about 230k towards actual production iirc. So slightly more than the average episode of an anime. The real issue is that they had much much longer to work on this compared to the average episode of a tv series and nothing really competing for resources. Yet " average" was all they could manage.

>>145159225
There are 12-13 episode TV anime that look better with 1/4 of the budget. There's a reason people like this don't get to do pet projects with actual studios and have to beg for crowdfunding.

>>145171719
The best part is Akira, Evangelion, and GitS are successful because of otaku money. Anyone using the phrase "otaku pandering" as a critique is oblivious to what the anime industry was founded on and what has kept it alive for 40+ years.

Are you illiterate?

I thought it was your average, generic chuuni premise. The direction and animation wasn't particularly impressive. There were just lots of SPLOSIONS and ACTUAL INTELLIGIBLE ENGLISH IN MY JAPANIMATION?

Of course their kickstarter implied they were directly marketing/targeting the entry-level western audience so it's not terribly surprising. Only Yamakan can save anime.

I hope it gets a series.
Still 100 times better than all the LN trash.

Anon, you can do better than that.

>>145159382
No, the premise was easy to understand because it's no different from other shows with similar premises.
>fight monsters who were humans
>humans fighting them use the same power as the monsters, hence the vicious circle
>multiple parties with their own agenda

Once you've seen enough of these kind of shows, you can get a sense of the general story progress or themes. That's not because UTD is good at establishing the premise, that's just them doing the same thing as others have done. It's like watching a Hollywood action movie and you see a guy taking out a photo or having a resignation letter on his table. You don't need further elaboration or exposition to tell you he's going to die. No need for info dump because other shows have done them for you.

Again, I'm not saying UTD is bad because it's generic. Rather, I'm saying that you're overselling what it's doing.

>>145167343

this desu senpai

>>145169506
>Ga-Rei 0
They did it better than UTD though.

>>145171164
Extra time spent with the same amount of budget does not mean a better end product. Besides we don't know exactly what the workload was at the studio and there might not have even had extra time considering they have other projects.

Yes the quality isn't a typical ova quality but it's far from bad. It's acceptable.

>>145158638
>actually pretty good?
It wasn't though, just as mundane as anything seasonal

At least we have the original teaser trailer. I still watch it from time to time.

>>145175704
Watched it again after so long and it's ridiculous how it looks so much better than what we actually got. At this point, people might as well just watch Canaan if they wanted a similar flavor to that teaser trailer.

Didn't say it was better, rather it's sad that Canaan basically offers much of the same (with more eps) even without crowdfunding like UTD.
