Other than KyoAni (the obvious answer), are there any others? Or is pretty much every studio at least a good deal predatory/abusive?

Discussion Frustrated with Haikyuu Dumpster Battle (Spoilers ahead)

6 Upvotes

How could they squeeze content worth 31 chapters into just 90 minutes? The one with Shiratorizawa got 10 episodes for 40 chapters. Inarizaki High had 11 episodes for 40 chapters. And dumpster battle had been hyped for the entire series, so it deserved more time. I'll break down the pros and cons.

Pros: Great excitement for the Haikyuu fans, after a hiatus of 4 years. It's an amazing experience in the theatre, where the audience will enjoy the vibe with you together. Some shots had extremely good animation, brought in newer angles (like the ones near the net and Kenma's POV)

Cons: Barely any commentary, which did not keep the interest locked on. Hinata's "Dun" Jump was not emphasized much, but his recieve with Inarizaki had 10x more impact and brilliance in the visuals. Did not show the thoughts of other players or the audience's reaction. Kageyama had amazing serves in the manga, and there were a lot of thoughts among the players. Very few dialogues altogether. Most importantly, Kenma was not shown saying "shoyo, you're not interesting anymore". That was a pretty cold thing to read for me. A lot of other content was cut short.

I genuinely wish that the content in the manga is not cut short anymore in the future, be it a movie or episodes. The manga is super amazing. Until S4, anime was on par.

Discussion Is Batman Ninja anime good?

2 Upvotes

so I just find out there's a Batman Ninja anime, and even though it's a CG anime it actually looks pretty decent and the character design are pretty good at least based on the trailer. It will have a sequel so I kinda want to try it.

I mean based on the rating I won't expect it to be amazing / mindblowing but for anyone that has watch this is it a good series and like okay for a movie night that can be enjoyed by anyone or just some anime movie that is only for Batman / DC fans?

I have searched high and low (including here in Reddit) for any confirmation or denial of Netflix continuing Ooku: The Inner Chambers with a second season. My understanding is that the Manga ran like ... Forever, so there is plenty of source material to adapt I imagine?

Really annoyed that S1 didn't end by returning to the framing of the first episode's current time (8th shogun). Woild love to get there...

What to Watch? Depressing anime? (No romance)

0 Upvotes

If you watched banana fish you know what I'm talking about.

I watched it in 2019/2020 and still can't rewatch it (but read the manga recently), it was a starter anime for me, so I felt shitty for weeks or even months but it was so good. It's masochistic of me ask for something similar but here I am.

Thanks in advance to everyone who will help ^

What to Watch? help me find my next anime obsession!!

0 Upvotes

ok i’m not sure if this type of question is allowed but i’m looking for anime recs based of very specific criteria lol. i have seen a lot of anime (here is my MAL) so turning to yall to help me find a hidden gem that will reignite my love for anime.

here are my criteria that’s listed from most to least important. - engaging plot!! i prefer arc based shows that get you invested - easy to get into, should be fun to watch by like ep 5-10 - adult mcs, doesn’t need to be prime mc but i want adults to be on screen pretty often. also by adult i mainly mean out of hs - balanced cast in regards to gender, i hate shows with one man and then 100 girls lol - unique characters or twists on common tropes - story is finished, need at least the manga to be done or close to done - hot ADULT characters (preferably men lol) - less than 100 episodes - minimal romance, should be subplot at most - minimal fan service - decent english dub

some shows that’s fit these vibes off the top of my head: - dungeon meshi - FMAB - 86 - golden kamuy - slime isekai - OPM - to your eternity - Vivy - land of the lustrous

thanks for any recs in advance :))

I’m seeing all this praise for it and I just don’t get it. There were WAY too many flashbacks, bordering on Demon Slayer level and the constant joking between opposing players was bizarre. You wouldn’t think they wet at Nationals in a high stakes game the way they interact with each other.

Hey!

I used to be a very big anime fan and watched everything under the sun for most of my life. Around mid 2019 due to some life changes I lost the time to watch anime. Now I am looking to get back into it but there seems to be so many new ones out that I done even know where to start.

I am looking for all animes that have been genre defining, culture changing or just plain badass.

I am pretty much into any genre so please throw me some ideas!

Discussion Golden Time was frustrating to watch

131 Upvotes

I have seen fair share of rom-coms from the past decade and Golden Time was in my PTW for quite a long time, finally got some time and decided to watch it. Initial premise was fascinating, characters being in college was something refreshing and cast seemed interesting. But I couldn't be more wrong, everything went downhill in the second half and weird ass ending soured everything about the story.

First of all the entire ship of Koko and Banri seemed so toxic, she changes her opinions over everything instantly and never seem to be on a right track. But above all her constant yelling was just difficult to watch. I can understand the author using it as a flaw to make her a better character but it didn't work for me and felt more like half hearted attempt which didn't get proper conclusion. [Spoilers]I just hated how Koko broke up with Banri, author depicts them as adults who can solve their issued with mutual understanding and talking it out, how she trusts Banri but everything was all of a sudden gone and she started treating him as a friend with no proper reason to him. Like what happened to her character growth.

Secondly, characters gets some role but they never get to finish their part of the story. It's like the story is filled with poor plot twists and piror story gets forgotten due to that. This show has a lot of arguments but never seem to conclude in a proper way. For Instance [spoilers]How Linda and Mistuo all of a sudden became friendly especially how Linda wasn't comfortable with Mitsuo, Oka being mad at Banri then it got resolved easily, Mitsuo having heated argument with Banri but everything is fine with laughs and how the story main plot twist was solved with a single mail. Why does Linda suddenly choose to confess "Yes" to Banri as he's running to meet Kouko? Why does his original personality even come back when it chose to let go? Everything happens so quickly in this series and it breaks all the tension.

Lastly, I felt extremely cheated by this series, because they spend so much time "developing" the characters but by the end, everything is solved magically. All the solution to their problems doesn't come by hardships but it comes magically, through spontaneous and sudden laughter and tears. It's absolutely ridiculous that they took 20 epsiodes to make you believe that these issues are present in the story but nothing ever mattered. I was planning to watch Sakurasou, but for some reason went with Golden Time. Hopefully Sakurasou will heal me from the frustrating experience.

I'd love to know your opinions about Golden time and if I am the only one who felt like that with GT.
