>>92673377
The LoZ cartoon wasn't really bad; it may feel really different from what we think of Zelda now but it did an admirable job from what little US fiction existed. Way too many people who started with OoT and beyond seem to forget that wasn't what the Zelda universe always was.
>>92673024
>>yfw now murricans make better anime than nippland
By adapting Japanese properties?
Not to mention there's like eighteen threads on /co/ defending Samurai Jack when all it did was a shot for shot anime rip off
Netflix is saving western animation, rejoice!
>>92673024
It is animated in Korea. You're delusional if you think otherwise.
>thinking americans do key frames inhouse
wake up anon
>>92673480
Exactly, when that was made only two Zelda games existed. Not a lot of lore to work with.
The music however was amazing.
Is that Sypha? Is the main character Trevor, then?
>Murricans are so bad at animation they need to copy the Japanese
Go ahead.

>>92673024
>it's another east vs west thread on /co/
Japan and the West have borrowed from and influenced each other so much that there really isn't much difference anymore.
Osamu Tezuka was inspired by classic Disney, Western creators like Genndy Tartakovsy and Craig McCracken created cartoons that emulated Japanese tropes and aesthetics, and then Studio Gainax created an anime inspired by anime-influenced cartoons (Panty and stocking), and now shows like Steven Universe and Regular Show mix cartoony character designs with the framing and visual cues of anime.
It's pretty much impossible to find a western cartoon that doesn't have any anime influence.
TL;DR everyone takes inspiration from anyone so arguing is pointless
>>92676280
They never admit when they outsource anon. American animators aren't even capable of doing the sakuga in the trailer.
Every good american 2D animation in the last 10 years was done in Japan and Korea. EVERY SINGLE ONE including this one.
>>92676911
And no I can't give you proof because I don't need proof. I'm an animation expert, it's pretty obvious.

Rev up those "Fuck Konami" chants boys!
>>92673024
On an update to the recent Castlevania´s news Konami as announced that it will cancel the anime for no reason and reuse its assets for a new pachinko machine exclusive for the japanese market.
Were injustice threads not enough for companyfaggotry?
>>92678428
I would honestly argue this is even more obnoxious than company wars.
>>92676911
you are correct that there was outsourcing, but it was mostly for inbetweens and clean up work. All the heavy duty animating and keys were done in the states.
>>92676413
France?
>it's a /co/ starts making pompous, exaggerated claims over less than a minute of animation episode
Looks pretty generic, actually.
>>92673024
This has made me sad that we won't see anything more from Castlevania. The series is dead. This looks like it could be great, or at least good. but we won't see a non pachinko castlevania game ever again.
>>92673024
I don't give a damn who animated it or where

You mean like the anime style itself? Which also borrowed from Disney just as Castlevania did from European folklore? I don't get your point.
Also frankly Konami isn't gonna do shit with the IP outside some mobileshit and almost-gambling machines, glad they let this happen.
>>92673024

>japanese artist have more variety in art styles
Lmao no, all those filthy noodle eyes do is try to make everything look realistic which gets boring really quick. Most of their characters look generic too. The reason why animation is so popular over there is because Japs are ugly irl so their film industry never really took off. That's why they give most anime characters European features and claim they're Japanese because they're that self hating.
>>92682668
>all those filthy noodle eyes do is try to make everything look realistic which gets boring really quick.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about.
>>92682668
>all those filthy noodle eyes do is try to make everything look realistic
Totally agree, I think they reached the peak of realism with this one.

I just love how they paid attention to every detail.
Castlevania 3 was the best choice for adapting it into animated series. This is going to be the tits.
>>92682712
I believe he's saying something like anime stick to a samey realism style and less of the exaggeration of cartooning. Same as like what Disney sort of did with their human designs. Though Japs did have primarily exaggerated art before they were influenced by Western style.
>>92680669

I swear you can always tell who doesn't know shit about the game by how triggered they are over pendulums.
>>92683038
You probably are 28 years too late.
>>92683134
So far this looks almost at the same level of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust to me, so I think they are doing better than 90% of anime.
>>92673024
>burgers trying to do anime
You've failed every time, Avatar, RWBY.
Seriously stop embarrassing yourselves
>>92683130
>Pendulum/XYZ
Already old and busted, Links are the new hotness.
>>92683285
>so I think they are doing better than 90% of anime.
I don't get it. What exactly looks in any way impressive about any of this animation wise?
>>92683285
>the same level of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
It's not at that high a level. You're exaggerating.
>>92676413
What the fuck are you talking about that was in the 50's- early 60s
>>92680967
Just like bad anime, yes.

>>92683364
>Frederator
Wait WHAT?!!?
>>92683364
Because the people in charge are competent.
>>92683355
Most of these are based on Disney's traditional styling. So yeah the influence is still there.
>>92673024
I really wish westerners stopped trying to make anime
>>92683343
That's why I said "So far" and "almost"
I'm assuming they choose the best looking scenes for the trailer, and that there will be some ugly looking stuff on the episodes. I hope I'm mistaken on that though.
>>92683417
>>92673024
This is a good day. Que fifty more noodle arm cartoons though.
>>92683417
Well then, I guess every stylized drawing ever made is influenced by Disney.
>>92683285
It's Sypha, right? There's almost nothing of her. A great injustice.
>>92683394
did you not notice the link at the end of OP's post
>>92683439
Can you point out a specific scene in the trailer that impressed you with its animation? Because I really don't see it. This looks painfully average to me.
>>92683288

>>92683485
>Better than majority of them.
Animation wise? Most certainly not. The best animation we've seen in the whole Avatar franchize was the finale battle of ATLA season 3 and the pilot episode of LoK season 1 and that is about on par with any average tv battle shounen anime. I mean, it's better than shit like Dragonball Super, I give you that much.
yo, Castlevania! Welcome back!
>>92683501
anime is definitely more on the realistic side than western cartoons are. They usually focus their stylization efforts on simplified, expressive facial features while keeping everything else relatively realistic.
>>92673024
>Get more than twenty different series a season

It's almost certainly Trevor and they're adapting Castlevania 3.
>>92683711
Still could be young Julius.
He was the guy who finally killed him.
>>92673024
So this is Castlevania III? That always seemed the best place to start since it literally is the start and had the most characters to play with
>>92683710
Yeah and every single anime fan is complaining about how shit the new Berserk looks. Not sure what exactly your point is here.

Which they adapted from western novels and movies
>>92683664

>>92683735
My point CG anime series I've seen look ps2 tier and are poorly animated. Learn2read.
>>92683764
But those make best anime series
>>92683764
Except this is a straight up adaption of a japanese franchize, whereis Castlevania although heavily inspired by western vampire and horror mythology, was never an adaption of anything.
>>92683782
Yeah and no one will disagree with you there, so why point it out? CG anime is terrible and most anime fans hate it.

No. Never.
>>92683837
>You've failed every time
>RWBY
You pointed out RWBY yet it's a cheapo web series that out animates televised CG anime productions.
>>92683611
The majority of anime aren't animated for shit. Japan cuts corners like they're trying to make a circle.
>>92684213
Yeah, I didn't find anything that is aligned with the word 'key animation' in both links. Not even a key visual is present in both. As I said, Powerhouse could only be doing all the pre and post production stuff, the most efficient and cliche method used by most western animation studios nowadays is outsourcing all the 2d animation works to servicing studios and that often includes keys too. It's rather rare to see any western studio did all the 2d crap now, not all but most. Look at Avatar, JL Action, DC Superhero Girls, Lolirock, DC dtvs, the new TMNT, Voltron, those are fully animated by Asians so far and you cannot deny that.
>>92684321
It's a pragmatic decision since they have few resources to work with and despite the constraints they've been able to make the most out of it.
>>92684286
In your opinion which one has worst animation
RWBY or Berserk?
I have seen RWBY and I know how shit its animation can be so I'm kinda afraid to watch Berserk and find its animation is worst.
>>92684189
Fuck your shit nigger. Tezuka was a god damned genius.
>>92684348
I just have to know who signed off on this. Why they thought Millepensee was qualified to adapt Berserk. I'll worship whatever gay god gets that pushes season 3 to another studio.
>>92684348
It's garbage. They don't even hold the let a action sequence flow or frame it well and are like quick cutting and shit.
>>92683715
Ito would look weird in colour.
Part of what makes his art work is the way it uses the black/white aesthetic
Calling it now, /a/ will adamantly refuse to discuss it because it isn't "real" anime, and the mods will force it onto /co/.
>>92684140
There is nothing wrong with SOL. Not every anime has to be action
>>92684448
It doesn't fit on /a/ anyway since it seems like a full American production. Something like The Animatrix is allowed on /a/.

>>92684445
Well, is there a reason no one cold make a black and white anime?
Hell, it doesn't even need to be only black and white. If there is a build up, it can be in colour until things start happening and everything starts losing colour.
You could potentially do a lot of neat stuff with that too.
>>92684912

It maybe ticking timebomb but it doesnt mean it is dying.
>>92685154
>ready to watch animu eng dub.
Isnt the entire issue of dub the quality of the voice actors and a failure to translate what the characters tone is actually like?
if the original is english then conveying emotions or character traits will be more natural?
>>92684912
If you go by catalogs all /co/ does is watch capeshit movies.
>>92685339
Are you sure about that? Slayers just had thread with was pretty popular and /a/ doed have pre-2000 anime threads too. Just make thread and see if it dies or not.
>>92685355
Anyone that says anime is dying is a baka. Revenue is up year after year. Most people who talk about animu and manago on /co/ simply don't know what they're talking about.
Lurk /a/ and learn some stuff anons.
>>92685370
But that true though.
