It's gonna be shit and we all know it. And we'll still watch it regardless.
>>157059225
>And we'll still watch it regardless.
Just like Berserk fans and the 2016/17 CGme.
>>157059267
I wish I could say no, but I can't
But why? The show is timeless
If they just made it easier to buy, people would.

Damn that's in a long time.
>>157056958
Why do we need a recast? Reinhard's VA is still active and working on DBS.
>>157059888
Money.
Seriously the old guard VAs simply aren't popular with the underages and nuOtaku in Elevenland.
Gotta get popular nuSeiyuus like Memegita.
>>157056958
>recast
This is like Initial D reboot all over again.
>>157059225
As long as it has piss yellow subs I will watch it.
>>157059908
That's some nice buzzwords you used there anon.
If they have to recast a significant part of the cast might as well recast all.
>No the 80s male heartthrobs are so much better
Babby's first reboot.
>>157060045
I already have the profile ready to force the subs to be displayed in piss yellow
>>157060051
>buzzwords
Such as? Stop resorting to ad hominem you retard and look at the context. The fact is that old guard VAs aren't popular and simply don't sell anymore. New generation expects new generation VAs from all their new flavour of the season series. I used Sugita deliberately as an example because he literally has fucking MEME status in Japan.
>>157060113
Care to share/tell how to do it?
>>157060119
Now that's better.
>>157059225
Why is it gonna be shit?
no fucking shit dude
kei tomiyama has been dead for 20+ fucking years and hozumi goda doesnt do jackshit anymore
>>157060119
It's not about the context anon, it's about the way you write with those buzzwords.
>Yuuki Kaji as Julian
>>157060149
I use mpv and this is the profile I set up in the config file:
[LOGH]
sub-ass-force-style=PrimaryColour=&H0000FFFF
Then it could be activated on a single file with --profile=LOGH or using a global configuration. It's probably possible to do it with MPC-HC too but I have no idea how.
>>157060492
>MPV
Yeah, I wish I knew how to do with with MPC-HC (or MPC-BE in my case).
I'd use it to force it to white instead, for all those yellow-tinted subs of old that I depise. Fite me.
I'm legitimately considering going through autism of extracting subs for all episode of the original OVA and running a script on them to change styling of dialogue to white regular, thoughts to white italics and narration to white regular aligned to the top of the screen.
>>157060454
Stop jinxing it
>Koyasu as Reinhard
>Sugita as Yang
You know it to be true.
>>157056958
I figured Wakamoto wouldn't come back, but come on.
>>157059267
As long as it's not pure CG, I'll tough it out.
>>157060709
>As long as it's not pure CG, I'll tough it out.
Space battles will be 100% CGI and you know it.
>>157060719
Stop it. Stop it right now.
>>157060743
Search you feelings you know it to be true.
>>157060788
I will scribble with a crayon over my monitor when ships show up if they're CG. Everyone who shills CG in anime needs to be put down by firing squad.
>>157060838
>I will scribble with a crayon over my monitor when ships show up if they're CG
Better start scribbling now then, here's one of IG's two last biggest productions.
Every. Single. Car. Vehicle. or. Robot. Was. CGI.
>>157060838
>>157060908
Look at this beautiful CGI backdrop in IG's new GitS :)
>>157060908
>>157060966
Truly, LotGH is in good and capable hands :^)
>>157060908
>>157060966
I'm trying to open the images, but it looks like both of them are broken.
>>157061015
In all seriousness, what the fuck is this?
>>157056958
LOG Horizon remake?
niceBut seriously I hope they will go for an original ending
>>157061047
IG's Ghost in the Shell Arise, a high-budget OVA series that was concluded with a theatrical movie (in reality, a 5th previously unreleased OVA) that had as much CGI as the other 4 OVAs.
Psycho Pass, their second biggest jig in latest years is no better.
LotGH is fucked, plain and simple.
>>157061090
they should go full 3D like gantz instead of 2D with cgi spam
>>157061090
I can't remember the CG in PP because season 2 was so bad, all I remember is naked pizza party, the burning mansion full of people, and clapping.
>>157061185
They should train actual animators instead of throwing money at CG hacks.
>>157061185
>they should go full 3D
Then we'd get pic related-tier experience.
You can't win.
>space opera
>12 episodes and 1 ova beach episode with all the /y/ you could ever want
Finally, Berserk won't be the worst rehash.
>>157061185
Fuck CG, dolls like in Thunderbolt Fantasy are the future.
>>157061265
Berserk will be difficult to top desu.
Also, even if new LOGH would be just as attrocious at least we have the whole story covered by old anime and can pretend that remake doesnt exist.
>>157061417
>Berserk will be difficult to top desu.
At least it has decent music even if it's not Hirasawa.

If it uses the manga designs fujos won't like it, they look extremely cheap
>>157061595
It won't use them.
>>157061615
Thank god
>>157061540
Is it watchable? I was just after watching the old berserk and really hyped for the new one, but I literally couldnt force myself to go through more than 3 episodes. Does it get any better later?
>>157060838
The only good and natural CG I've seen in anime is that chinese King's Avatar thing. Toei is trying with Kado but it still looks a bit weird in places. Berserk's is JUST
>>157061718
No and no.
Read the manga.
If you're desperate, watch the third of the Golden Age movies since it adapts a bit farther than the old anime and actually includes Skull Knight.
You can safely ignore the first two movies however, the first one is on the same CGI tier as the 2016/2017 CGme and the second one is half-2D/half-3D and doesn't do anything that the old 97 anime didn't already cover.
>>157061814
Kado looks clunky, they also draw background characters as 2d sometimes and it looks weird. There have definitely been better uses of CG recently.
>>157061814
>>157061913
CG in anime is always shit, and discourages studios from hiring and training animators. It's raping an artform to death.
>>157061982
Depends. For a TV mecha anime it's easier to do CG, you just can't animate the battles on time without them being QUALITY. But for simpler shapes it seens redundant and looks much worse usually.
You need a really good visual director who will make the cgi fit into the style and pick good colours and designs. I didn't mind it in Tiger&Bunny for example.
>>157060454
> Sakurai as Reuenthal
This is scary.
Dragon Ball Super, Berserk 2016/2017, LotGH 2017, GitS Arise, who else will join the unholy alliance of shameless nostalgia cash-ins that shit all over the original material?
>>157062242
I really, really hope you didn't just imply that CG mechs are a good thing by any stretch of the imagination.
>>157062562
Except Super is spot on, and only dubfags think otherwise.
>>157062677
>Except Super is spot on
Have a pity (You).
>>157062746
>Muh super justice Goku and serious Android Saga!
>>157062830
>>157062842
>No response
Didn't think so.
>>157062242
Code Geass did fine. A lot of them do.
>new series comes out
>there's a battle in every episode
>all the political discussion scenes have been removed and replaced with battles
Riot.
>>157063413
Even worse
>classical music is replaced by generic jpop
Wakamoto is going to play Reuenthal, right, guys?
>>157063464
We can go worse
>classical music is replaced bySawano
>>157063593
He's voicing Oberstein
>the Empire is voiced in German by German VAs
>the Japanese audience needs to use subtitles for all the Empire scenes
Could it work?
I hope they at least keep Wakamoto, please.
>>157056958
This can't be happening. We're in charge here.
>>157064019
You're a big fleet
>>157063982
Drifters has made up language for the most part and uses subtitles, so it could work.
>>157063156
Do you mean Akito? It looked like absolute shit compared to the main series.
>all the talking in 2D
>battle scenes in 3D
This is all all it takes to not be horrible.
But I'm afraid they will still find a way to fuck things up.
>>157056958
and in the trash this will go
>>157063972
>CG everything
>Sawano OST
Get Okada to do screenplay and Imaishi to direct and we've got a modern classic.
>>157064332
>3D
>Not horrible
Go be stupid somewhere else.
>>157064378
As long as the characters are in 2D, I can survive other aspects of the world being 3D.
>>157064378
Can't wait to see the 3D, it's unavoidable. Better adapt to it instead of being triggered, /m/.
>>157064609
>Just lower your standards and stop caring
I was going to say eat shit and die, but you're already eating shit, so just skip to the second part.

I came
How big would LOGH be if it was one giant book, around the same length as War & Peace or a little bigger?
will the new battles take place in a 2 dimentional plane, like in the original, or will they take place in full 3D, like they should (because they are in space), i hope they make them 3D, the original only had 2 of those, they were the best ones
>>157064784
You mean if we took the novels and glued them together into one single thing?
The first three volumes are as thick together as the first two LotR books or the entire Brothers Karamazov.
Page counting isn't really applicable here, since the lines are quite loose and there is a lot of empty space in the English releases.
Judging by the novels' average length so far (Around 280-290 pages) its around 2800-2900 pages long. Which is longer than both The Tale of Genji and the Chinese classics Dream of the Red Chamber and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Kanahana confirmed for Julian
>>157065033
>>157064784
LoGH is around 1200 pages if we were to trust the new translated books from 2016.
And War and Peace Is around 1400 pages.
So i guess they are pretty close in length.
Now i know it's retarded to count the length of a book using page count instead of word count, but i can't be arsed to search for that.
Also War and Peace isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.I mean there are books that are 5000+ pages long .
>>157056958
Jun Fukuyama as Reinhard
>>157065284
With Kamiya as Yang.
>>157063982
and alliance in engrish?
>>157065680
Espéranto.
>>157065680
They could try having characters with an accent.Even though the novels state that "ethnicity" as we know it is a thing of the past
3D for space warfare is fine.
>Space Battleship Yamato
>The Origin
>inb4 Mamuro Myano gets cast as the original ginga bishonen
so in what century does the show even take place?, wasn't it like the 34th or something
>>157067386
It all takes place around the year 3600.

Please no.

>>157060719
>Space battles will be 100% CGI and you know it.
Perhaps Yamato 2202/2199 level CG would actually be pretty good.
>>157070726
Yamato had/have a really dedicated team and a more than decent budget. It doesn't seems to be the same here, at all.
And don't forget that Yamato is an OVA/theatrical release.
