There's a distinct lack of operating in anime in the past

i dunno man. world needs more blagoon.

If Canaan and Jormungand are the best of recent "operator anime", then I'm glad it's dead. The days of Gunsmith Cats and Black Lagoon are over. Hell, I'd even take Madlax or boring-ass Noir over Canaan and Jormungand.

I'd rather have actual cartoony animation than fucking animation of people operating.

There's little worse than seeing a cartoon get squandered on shit that is far easier to do in live action, which would look much better to boot.

Disagree, anime operating can be made look good. Like the anon above with Gunsmith Cats example, since it was a three episode OVA series.

All those shows you listed were years apart. There's never been that many to begin with. You might get one every 3-4 years.

The attention to detail in Canaan was great though. The guns, the reloads, all of it.

I am still waiting for an anime where the protag knows Mozambique Drill. It looks great Stylized ( John Wick) and grounded (Collateral) i want to see it done in anime.

What's wrong with Jormungand?

>>149881792
"operating"?

Should there be a few extra words?

I remember Canaan, it was crap.

And Jormungand, I dropped it after that episode where a character charged someone firing at them with a submachine gun and succeeded.

You'll find better "operating" on Girls und Panzer.

Enjoy your Under the Dog.

Of course it was crap, it was written by Mari Okada.

>>149884447
She was series composer, but the actual story was written by Nasu and Takeuchi. Which explains it even more.

when's upotte season 2?

>>149884372
Kite came first though

>>149884701
>but the actual story was written by Nasu
No it wasn't. The script was entirely Okada. Nasu doesn't write anime (not until Extra next year at least).

>>149884287
It got one. Look up Mezzo DSA.
