Did everyone drop this show? After watching last week's episode, I was expecting more of a reaction but by then, the thread was already dead. It went completely off the rails.

/a/ has shit taste. This anime is in top 3. Maybe even AOTS

>>161268325
>Did everyone drop this show?
Watching it now. I'm digging the art style they used this week. It's a nice change of pace and perfect for one episode of an episodic show.

>Let them eat cake
Truly this is a kino episode.

Minase Inori sung that song, right? I hope there's a single soon.

Damn who's the staff for this episode?

Wizard of Oz popped into my head when I saw the robot, the scarecrow and the "lion" but then the story went in a different direction so I thought I was just imagining things. Everything about that as well as the ending was great. Tragedy told through extended metaphor + unique artstyle = erections.

I'm not entirely sure how to deal with the fact the single best-looking episode of any TV anime I've seen was produced by Gonzo.

>>161270550
It was really great, but let's not exaggerate. It would have been much more impressive if it was all drawn and not rendered in 3D.

You can say that about anything, don't undermine the episode like that.

Although if you do want to watch something that has a very similar art style but is entirely hand-drawn, go watch Rain Town.

>>161268243
I haven't seen this since the third episode. Is it still changing genres and artistic direction every episode or has it settled down now?

>>161270722
>You can say that about anything, don't undermine the episode like that.
I'm not undermining it, it was great, but certainly not the best looking episode of TV anime ever broadcast. And if you're going to post things, at least post Maison Cubes.

>>161270738
Why would it settle down?

>>161270738
>Is it still changing genres and artistic direction every episode or has it settled down now?
It's still changing, this episode changed the hardest. If I had to pick the most "normal" episode it'd be 5 which had nothing visually interesting, but that was the theme of the episode anyway.

>>161270738

Then you'd be wrong. /v/ stopped chastising them endlessly and it bit them in the ass. The good mods are dead here, and any semblance of quality and elitism that's left comes from yelling at idiots like that until they leave or learn to shut up and lurk.

Most likely the entire class that was standing idle before.

Because they went for a hyper stylized look that didn't have any traditional animation movement. Normal CG animation has always and will always look like shit. Trying to do something completely different instead of trying to emulated hand drawn is the only way to make it work.

Where? You sure as hell didn't post any in those links.

>>161272960
For none of the links to have good CG, you must be blind because all except the third are smooth as hell with very detailed CG.

>>161273038
>you must be blind
You certainly are. Oversaturated colors, awkward movement shoddily covered up by moving the camera a lot, and poor use of things like squash, stretch and smear (and crumple damage for mechs) makes for pretty shitty animation.

>>161272858
Wow, that second one looks really nice. Too bad that was hand drawn by studio Khara, which defeats your whole "point" and makes you look like an idiot.

>>161273102
Now you are just baiting, the 1st one doesn't even has any of the things you mentioned.

>took less than 4 minutes to respond
You didn't even watched them I see.

>>161273183
That's not how it works, it is cell shading, which means it was drawn first and then rendered into 3D. It also doesn't means the whole scene was drawn first, but a lot of times just the key frames or the characters. It has been used on videogames for ages by now.

>>161273350
>That's not how it works, it is cell shading
The CC version of that video was cel shading. You posted the Khara version which was hand drawn then digitally colored. That's hand drawn animation, you fucking idiot. Please stop posting like you know anything about animation. CGfags have to be some of the stupidest people on this board.

>>161273350

Well, yeah, it is CGI to a certain extents since a computer stylize it and generates what you see. It would look very different if no CGI at all was involved.

>>161273618
When people talk about CG anime, they don't mean digitally colored. All modern anime is digitally colored.

Pot and the cat were real and everything else was a dream right, he was killed by a truck and she went into coma from the sadness.
Her surroundings all came together and formed a dream that coincidentally soothed her all her emotions and woke her up.

Yeah anon, I think we picked up on that. Still surprising to see an anime episode about Khmer Rouge.

>>161275211
>He presided over a totalitarian dictatorship,[6] in which his government made urban dwellers move to the countryside to work in collective farms and on forced labour projects. The combined effects of executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population.[7][8][9][10] In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people (out of a population of slightly over 8 million) perished as a result of the policies of his four-year premiership.[11][12][13]
Truly the most wonderful form of government.

Great animation style but the story itself was sort of unsatisfying because there was no agency. They were just watching everything happen. Reminded me of a Studio Ghibli movie for that reason (in a bad way).

>>161272396
Fuck off, cancer

>>161275336
There tends to be a trend with these episodes in that they lay out a fairly dull story, then right at the end they kick in the twist.
It works surprisingly well since people generally remember the beginning and end of a story rather than the middle.

>>161275576
Yeah, in the case of 18if it almost works because it's an anime about dreams, after all, and dreams are usually just a mess of information rather than being a story with a plot.

Acting like all CG is garbage is a fucking disgusting meme
Fuck you, 2D zealots. I like a lot of CG shows and think their CG is good. Nothing you say to me will change my mind. Kill yourselves if you really can't stand the fact people like me exist and you can't do absolutely anything about it

>>161275624
This isn't the Berserk thread, it's okay to like CG here.

>>161275078
There's no reason to hate Pol if he was killed by a truck.

The truth is as presented as it did in the episode. Pot and Pol came to Japan to study aboard, met Nene. Pol, being some naive boy, kept doing whatever he thought was right. The second time, he went too far and put his life in danger, so his country took him back from poor influence. Continuing being the naive tool that he was, he became an incompetent puppet king, executing every citizen who was against his policies. Pot tried to talk sense to him and he got executed as well. News of Pot's death reached Japan, Nene went into coma from shock. She finally wakes up when news of King Pol getting executed has reached Japan.

Are you surprised? /m/ is about mecha, and most mecha are done in 3DCG these days even if the rest of the show is 2D. In /a/, rejecting 3DCG makes sense because you still have new 2D anime to discuss.

>It does though
Textures look awful, and movement is the typical awkward CG movement with spinning shakycam instead of actual choreography for the fights where mechs move with style and weight and take cool looking damage. People dislike CG for a reason, and it's because it can't stack up to good hand drawn, especially with mechs. Video games is one thing, but CG mech anime is garbage.

>>161277196 100% you can without watching the others

>>161275778
Wasnt it also implied that, as a witch, Nene influenced (hypnotised) Pol to fire a nuke on his own country, which in turn got him the death sentence. We have had a few episodes already where witches affect the real world. What bothers me with this interpretation thought is that the main characters kind of shrug off at the end, which is not an appropriate reaction to witnessing someone brainwash someone else into nuking a country.

>>161273492
I was talking about episode 6, since many people said that the mecha sequence didn't made sense, I don't think there has been a "point" to the series overall, each episode is an enterily different thing.

>>161278705
the main character personality has always been influence by the witch,it would be more weird if he actually cared about the nuke

>>161278814
Cat dude should have cared. Still, likely they didn't really understand what the fuck was going on, and it's like what was said earlier, they were just watching, powerless.

its a episodic,meaning every episode is a different theme,genre,and the art changes every episode,so does the ed,there is a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing,every episode don't connect with each other so,every episode is a stand alone,that gives subtle hints

1st episode is the worst,2nd is popular,and 3rd is considered the best,4th had a 10min story stretched into 23min,5th was great,it had some foreshadow and hints to the story and got a great discussion on /a/ that make it more popular than 2nd,6th was rushed, and 7th is just weird with a lot of reference to things like communist and wizard of oz,

This episode was weird. Our characters just took the backseat and watched through the witch's dream. In the end she woke up because her dream became true?

>>161278705
I don't think she brainwashed him at all rather she made him remember what he had forgotten. The analogy to him being the tin man from oz was meant to explain that he had lost his heart and feelings for his friends and people. The people from his country took him away after he tried to run in the street and they even forced him to sign the papers to execute his best friend. The point was that he had lost his feelings due to all the cruel things he was forced to do and ended up doing horrible things. The ending would be explained as him calling off the nuke and having it end as a misfire which his people would see as treason and executed him. The ending would then be explained that nene wanted to see him or pot but no longer could which would line up twice with the title of the episode, "and then there were none."

This would mean that nene intentionally went into the dream to reach pol because she wanted to see him again and stop him from doing the horrible things he's doing. Looking at it this way, haruto and doc had no need to do anything, as the problem and witch were solved by the other characters. They simple fit in to the story as the other two companions to the tin man from oz, which themes were also presented strongly in the episode, while being blatantly explained at both the beginning and end.

pretty sure it's just Pot, given the "I want to see him, but you killed him"
This letter was probably meant for Pot too.

And I think the dream sequence took place at the night before Pol's execution day, to remind and let him understand why he deserves to die.

>>161281393
Considering the themes of the episode and the references to oz I'd assume she meant both of them, maybe even kuro as well. If not, then the 2nd most likely would be Pol because he received the letter and that would be enough reason for him to come see her as she planned. Most of the episode were also memories of Pol, where as Pot wasn't alive in the present dream world so it would be very likely the letter was indeed meant for Pol. You could also consider the reference to nene and hideyoshi as further proof.

>to remind and let him understand why he deserves to die
I don't think it's meant to be taken as a dark revenge theme. Nene cared about her friends a lot and I don't think she wanted Pol to suffer rather than remember and make amends for what he's done.

I doubt she would send a warm flowery letter to the present Pol who had cause all 70,000 deaths including the one she loved. The letter was sent in the past, it's part of the reason why Pol was rushing to build an empire, to welcome her.

until he killed the one she loved, at that point, she no longer saw him as a friend, and things could never go back the way it used to.

After finally getting a chance to watch this episode, this has to be where absolutely all of the budget went. The animation quality was amazing, the story was entertaining despite the simplicity and this might be the best ED yet. This is definitely the episode of the season from what has aired so far. I don't know if the remaining episodes will be as stellar as this or the third episode but this makes up for all the faffing about from before.

>>161282941
>The letter was sent in the past
The events of the episode happened in the dream world, which happened to line up with Pol's death in the real world. The rest were memories of the past. I don't think there's an actual physical letter that was sent in the real world. There's no way she'd be able to contact him let alone have her letter reach him in the real world, which is why she contacted him in the dream world in the first place.

>Pol was rushing to build an empire, to welcome her
I disagree. As was stated in the episode, Pol wanted to become a great nice king which all went to shit thanks to his advisers. His promise to her was to become that kind of king.

>at that point, she no longer saw him as a friend
Nene clearly still cares about him because if she didn't there's no reason for her to go through the dream to contact him. She wanted a resolution and wanted him to remember his promise and who he was. If she was just angry and wants him to suffer she'd never do all of this and try so hard to get through to him. The whole 5 passions thing was probably meant not only as a means of explaining the story but also nene's feelings.

>>161284543
Yes I know. Thought I should mention it in case someone likes the show enough to buy it. I'm close to it right now.

I think Nene just wanted to go back to the days of her childhood before Pol succumbed to cruelty. As in the woodcutter's story at the end, in exchange for power, he forgot what he cared about (which I guess is why they made a point in showing that he didn't remember the games they played). Nene finally realized that they couldn't go back to those times and that's why she was able to wake up.

>>161285044
Oh, and the one she wants to see is the old Pol. She keeps saying it over and over because she can't accept that he is gone. By killing Pot he gave up on his childhood and his "humanity". By finding her she finally sees how fucked up he became as a result.

Why are people taking the Pol being a king in real life seriously given the whole fantasy motif to the the episode?

It's not about wanting him to suffer, it's about forcing reality onto him, making him understand what he did, why he deserves to suffer, and that in reality, she hates him enough to shed bloody tears, let alone remaining as friends. Had the dream not occur, Pol would have died unaware of the suffering he caused for others. He would have died as the delusional happy-go-lucky guy that he was. That's the worst situation for those who held grudges for him.

This episode was honestly great.

Hopefully this isn't the peak of what they have to offer. Kind of sucks the first episode of this show was such utter garbage otherwise I'm sure more people would watch it.

I noticed that in the begining of the episode when he wakes up it it felt like it sped up randomly but actually it's just that he jumps forward since he only have one leg in the scarecrow form. It was a nice little detail.

I can see why you'd think that but I really don't think it was meant to be portrayed as an assertion of morals or doing what's supposedly right. Nene had lost her friend, cat and her one living friend is responsible. Pol killing all those people is certainly part of it, but the reason it has meaning to Nene is because Pot was part of that number, and Pol was the one who did it. She's upset about it for personal reasons, not "muh morals."

>Pol would have died unaware of the suffering he caused for others. He would have died as the delusional happy-go-lucky guy that he was
Maybe unaware but that certainly would have been far off had she not intervened. Pol was reduced to being the emotionless cruel leader of his kingdom and had Nene not contacted him in the dream world he might have done even worse things for a longer period of time, including having his nuke go off rather than stopping it at the last minute. She obviously is angry at him but more than that she wants him to return to his old self. If she really hated him and wanted him to suffer she'd let him be and have him destroy himself as a cold ruler. There's no way she'd cry over someone she doesn't care about.

I guess my post was a bit unclear, but this is exactly what I meant, nothing to do with morals

>There's no way she'd cry over someone she doesn't care about.
She's not crying for Pol, she's grieving that those days can never return.

And I don't think the dream is about making him stop the nuke. Everything inside it should have already happened prior to the dream. Pol did launch a nuke but it misfired on his own country, hence, the reason for his execution.

>>161274138

>>161288535
I feel like we're both on the same page at this point but
>Everything inside it should have already happened prior to the dream
The memories of the past were certainly in the past but I'm thinking the dream ended around the same time Pol was executed and Nene was responsible for influencing the misfire through her contact with Pol in the dream. This would make the newspaper article and the kid running around spreading them as the latest news consistent with Nene waking up. We have confirmation that dreams can influence the real world from previous episodes and while we've had massive changes to appearance, there hasn't been interaction with people who are dead in the real world with people alive inside the dream world. This episode would further support this since the only one interacting with the cast was Pol, where as Pot exclusively showed up in the flashbacks/memories.

Not in the way it's presented where Pol's avatar never left the dream and lacking the time lapse of leaving to do something and entering back. In MC and our eyes, the whole talk of nukes and misfired happened in a matter of seconds.

And the misfire occurred before they even got to the topic of nukes. It was shown to fail at reaching the moon and was already falling back to his country before then.

I'd say the dream occur on the night prior to his execution.

>>161290382
>Pol's avatar never left the dream and lacking the time lapse of leaving to do something and entering back
I think the dream being a one shot thing makes more sense than the alternative of it being split between multiple nights. Nene seems older than she was portrayed in the flashbacks and there would naturally be a time gap for Pol's spirit to be broken by his advisers. This and as you said, neither haruto, doc or Pol left and came back to the dream which is different from previous episodes where they did.

>It was shown to fail at reaching the moon and was already falling back to his country before then
So rather than her directly influencing him to stop the missile perhaps the timing of the dream was because that was the last possible time she would have been able to see him? In which case the misfire would indeed have had to have happened during or around a short time before or after the dream. We could assume a couple of days would have to pass for deliberation over his death sentence.

>I'd say the dream occur on the night prior to his execution
I agree. This would place the dream as occurring during or after the misfire and ending before his execution.

I sure hope you have an actual response to this besides "Well I don't care/it could be worse/I don't notice that stuff anyways" but we both know you won't. The mech designs themselves are fine, but the colors are too bright and shiny and the textures are awful. They move around a lot, but it still has the awkward, jerky uncanny valley movement problem that a lot of CG has. The way the mechs moves prioritizes the fact that "they're moving a lot" over how they actually move. The choreography is boring, and there's no exaggerated stretching or distortion effects to show stylized motion. Instead, the camera just moves around a lot, and they actually you intensity/speed lines with a sort of tunnel vision cam to feign speed. The mechs also have virtually no sense of weight or inertia, and when they get hit there's no focus on the impact and no good damage effects shown. The entire fight scene is literally just "Look, we have 3D models so we can make them move a lot while moving the camera around them." There's no soul or talent behind any of the movements, and it's completely devoid of style. 18if was stylized as fuck this week and didn't try to emulated anything 2D, that's why it looked really good. MJP just looks bad. People talk about their favorite hand drawn animators all the time because of their distinct style and techniques. No one talks about their favorite CG animators because none of them have produced anything with even a shred of identity. This should tip you off that it's fundamentally lacking.

Nonsense. The colors party is just you having bad taste in aesthetics which is fine. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with the textures. They are very high quality and well rendered.

>the awkward, jerky uncanny valley movement problem that a lot of CG has
But the movement isn't jerky at all. It's very flood and smooth. How can it be an uncanny valley when it's fucking giant robots?

>The choreography is boring
Shit opinion. The choreography is quite good.

>there's no exaggerated stretching or distortion effects to show stylized motion
This doesn't really happen often in anime. Old cartoons is more your speed.

>the camera just moves around a lot, and they actually you intensity/speed lines with a sort of tunnel vision cam to feign speed
Yes, that's the purpose of the camera work. It increases the sense of speed and tension in that speed and does it well.

>The mechs also have virtually no sense of weight or inertia, and when they get hit there's no focus on the impact and no good damage effects shown
I don't know what the fuck your issue is here. There are clearly effects on every impact. Note that this is a webm without sound so obviously the hits don't feel as heavy as they would otherwise.

>There's no soul or talent behind any of the movements, and it's completely devoid of style

>Japanese CG studios don't lock frame rate and fuck with the motion to try to emulate hand drawn animation
There's nothing subjective about it, you fucking idiot. It's literally something they do because they think it looks good.

>>161296490
How the fuck does that MJP webm look anything like hand drawn animation? Are you retarded? It's obviously not animated on 3s or 2s.

I've heard good things about the 3rd and 7th episode. Is that accurate? Are the rest worth checking out?

>>161296585
Mother of fucking God, you literally have no idea what you're talking about. Did you think saying "animated on 3s or 2s" would make you sound knowledgeable as opposed to just highlighting that you're completely talking out of your ass? Enjoy your CG trash. I can see how someone as blind and stupid as you would enjoy it.

>>161296645
Watch the first 3 episodes and figure it out yourself. You will be lost for a while.

>>161296645
The 7th episode is excellent, the 3rd is pretty good too. The rest range anywhere from average to sub par but even as an episodic anime, I wouldn't say it's worth it to skip through instead of watching it straight.

>>161296645
2, 3 and 7 are all great. 6 was decent, the rest are meh.

>>161296645
Wait until the show is over. Then watch the top five episodes people agree on.

>>161296669
You are a fucking moron if you think that the CG in that webm was rate limited. It obviously isn't; anyone with eyes can see that. You can dislike the robots designs or colors; that's fine. But again that animation looks literally nothing at all like hand drawn animation which you just implied with your previous post. Besides just the obvious camera, hand drawn animation does not have that kind of movement. You can see it in the little details like the tail moving and the mechs rattling on impacts.

>>161296585

I'm surprised the 2nd episode seems to be consistently rated higher than the rest in the threads. I liked that Haruto subverted expectations and went along with the killings and that we saw more of how the dream world and real world interact but other than that, I didn't think much of it as a standout episode.

>>161296880

Those film callbacks were all great.

>>161296856
How is this anything at all like CR?

>>161296920
It wasn't because of the story or thematic imagery or music, it's literally because the MC's actions were so unexpected and refreshing, and there was no moral preaching afterwards.

>>161296920
For me episode two served its purpose: keeping me from dropping the show after that terrible first episode.

>>161285717
Keep watching after the credits.

>This anime is in top 3. Maybe even AOTS

Nah, it's not a good anime. Even if you enjoy this format it's not a top tier show. But it's still surprisingly good.

For something based on a phone game with 0 expectations and some really mediocre early episodes, they've been doing some amazing work. The eps are hit or miss, but I can get behind all of them anyway.

So is the game this is based on any good? Or is this a case of money from game funding a game loosely based on the game premise with otherwise creative freedom?

>>161298664
This. Great episode and very impressive given the source, but a few surprisingly good episodes isn't AOTS.

"shiny" implies specular reflection. "glowing" sounds more like bright illumination or bloom.
not sure what you are looking for. less saturated colors? different color palettes? flatter shading? darker scenes?

>>161302238
>less saturated colors
Yes. The coloring on CG textures looks awful.

You also might want to reference a dictionary sometime if you're trying to split hairs between "shiny" and "glowing".

I don't understand how people can't see CG models glow like that. The textures and colors are horrible.

>>161302414
yeah, that's bloom.

>>161302294
I can't think of any example that uses more muted colors which I'd also consider a good showcase of celshading. There obviously are blame and berserk, but they have too many issues.

I'll give it points for an original and very polished aesthetic and presentation, but again the story was a dud. The only episode I think has been good so far is 3, and 6 started off really well until it went full Samurai Flamenco for no reason.

Yeah I know but I wonder why the director went so far as to heavily rely on the authoritarian regime aspect as some sort of allegory, with the very obvious critique of Pol Pot?

>>161297246
Yeah I did. The King Pol thing is just something that seeped into the dream from the other kid drawing stories and shouting them out.

It mentions a Woodman who continues to work hard but despite that is cut in half with an axe, in exchange for a completely tin body he lost his heart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_Woodman

This seems to be the most relevant given the Wizard of Oz connection.

we're talking anime here. flat is not the issue, it's fairly normal.

>>161304325
>something looks off, but I don't think it's the textures.
It's not moving. What could it be besides the textures? The 3D models are too saturated and "round" looking which just makes them look weird.

>What could it be besides the textures?
There is more than meshes and textures to 3D rendering.

Now seriously. If I don't notice anything wrong and like it, why should I dislike it just because people like you go on angry rants about it on anonymous imageboards?

Whenever the main cast was sucked into the deck of cards just made me think of this. Ultimately the episode was alright, the animation slowly grew on me, but it was very irritating having the main characters shoved further and further into the background. Now you might say "well that's just what needed to happen for the episode to work" or "it's an anthology" that doesn't make it any less sloppy. What started out as Polbot telling them that they have to see Nene or else they would be stuck in their goofy ass forms led to them siphoned into Yugioh cards and ultimately sitting in front of several TVs.

And it's not that it could have been handled better, that's always going to be true for any work, but there was the potential for Haruto to finally encounter a witch with a problem that couldn't be solved by telling her everything was going to be diejoeboo, just BEE herself, or going on dates with. An issue where there wasn't much healing he could have provided and simply surviving the nightmare was the goal. Showing him trying to make it in the dreamworld dictatorship as shit hit the fan would've also been consistent with the semi-recurring idea that dying in the dream world could mean death in real life.

tl;dr imo 7/10, at worst a 6.5, could've been an 8 or 8.5.
