Moonrise

Just finish this, wasn't half bad, why is no one talking about it? The ending was a little meh but otherwise the action is decent.

inb4 Moonrise? More like Moonflop

why is no one talking about it?

Because Netflix binge dump.
This always happens, and they never learn.

anime original

Half the fun is speculating every week about the plot, man this is sad

The saddest part is that it was clearly written with that in mind. Most episodes end on a cliffhanger or major twist.

the writing is a bumbling mess so not much is lost

I don't understand why they do that, but this one is bad anyways.

Eh, it was surprisingly accessible and well-structured coming from the writer of Bye Bye Earth.
A little heavy on action movie logic maybe, and I thought the ending was a copout, but I felt it balanced characterization, worldbuilding and plot progression pretty well. It definitely handled the "ragtag team of misfit forced to save the world" formula better than Lazarus is doing so far. It's honestly kind of painful to watch those two back-to-back.

The only good thing about this was the visuals and Mary

it had so many problems i just gave up writing up all of them half-way through after i binged it.
it tries so many things and gets nothing right. the plot is holding together only loosely, resolution sucks, characters suck, just a succession of "and then some shit happens" again and again
basically

Arcane

Cyberpunk 2077

No, it was just mid.
Thinking hype and discussions can only he generated by weekly release schedule is fucking retarded, otherwise anime movies like Akira and the Ghibli ones wouldn't he remembered decades after.
Or do you think assholes who still argue about Asuka VS Rei 3 decades later do it because they watched NGE weekly? I doubt it, there wasn't even a plateform for you to shitpost on back then.

I disagree, many anime are enhanced by the weekly experience, something like Id: Invaded comes to mind, that one wouldn't have been half as fun without the threads.

Me too, I think it was 6/10 (4/10 without picrel).
What was strange is that it’s a complete story, but there was barely any character development.
They touched on it here and there, but it felt like half of what it should’ve been.
Pretty much this I feel like it was a C tier story with an A tier budget

Mary

Salamandra*

wasnt half bad? It was the worst ive seen in a decade.

idk why is it so hard to write a show properly, it's like 0.01% of the total bill, especially with Moonrise.
is a decent sci-fi original too much to ask?

I watched it on a plane and it was so fucking boring i would turn it off and just stare ahead, it was THAT boring. I read the fuckin plane magazine instead of watching more of it.

For me the ending felt incomplete. Like it was setup they would have more episodes to join forces and rebel against Sapientia but somehow it just, like, ended there.

Id: Invaded comes to mind, that one wouldn't have been half as fun without the threads.

This.
Mystery originals (or adaptations of untranslated mystery novels) always make for the best threads.

dropped it after a few episodes
the animations and action was nice but the story and characters were so fucking boring

worst in a decade

No when shit like Bucchigiri exists.

I couldn't really stand the nepotism crew

Watch more anime in a decade.
I can "recommend" Listeners, Ex-Arm, Pon no Michi and Momentary Lily.
Get some random narou adaptations with run-on sentence titles and third rate studios in there too for good measure.

Rawdogging flights is underrated. There's nothing like the hum of the engines and the lightheadedness from low air pressure to force your brain to start making up its own reality to escape. Bring a notebook.

There are plenty of good sci-fi writers. Some of them will even work for free.
The problem is convincing investors that the unwashed masses will watch their stories and turn them into money somehow.

yeah i like it too

buchigiri was kino compared to this trash

The bar is in hell if you're setting bucchigiri as a standard lol

the fuckin plane magazine

I always like filling in the crossword puzzle and the sudoku puzzles

Name one anime older than three years you've watched and describe the events of one random episode to prove you actually watched it.

it was boring. plot looked like someone asked chatgpt to write a scifi anime

yeah no shit, I could write better than this. You could write better than this. we would all accidentally do just that while speculating if this was released weekly

I like to imagine the next passenger who boards your seat, is bored out of their skull, opens up the puzzle page and goes "FUCK YOOOOOUUUUUUU". Possibly externally.

The main girl is ugly and worst girl

Lamb girl cutest and best girl

Samurai champloo, the episode where Mugen and Jin are almost killed because they let their guards down around assassin's hired by the bodyguard of the lord's son they accidentally killed.
Jin almost jobs to bamboo and Mugen gets a pointed mushroom shoved down his throat by whore.

This anime is shit and so is bucchigiri.

Id:Invaded was interesting by its own merit, it was just OK, but whether it was long or short wouldn't have changed shit, really. The daughter scenes would still be posted in schock related threads for years to come regardless.
Edgerunners generated nigh endless discussions and meme posting for several MONTHS after its release when weekly anime released during its period were already forgotten.
Eva 4.0 generated discussions and shitposting YEARS after its release, and the previous movie was literally a decade before, so it's not like you actually had anything substantial to discuss in between movies.
And whether, you, as an Anon Babble shitposter talk about something weekly or in one instance does not change an anime's inherent/core qualities, genuine appeal, and your desire to talk about it (if it was interesting enough to warrant discussion, that is). This also goes for exposure to a more mainstream audience and actual commercial success.

As a sidenote, Mayoiga would have been a better example. Now that shit was only popular on Anon Babble of all places on the internet.

You do know that with description you could just describe any Dragon Ball episode. Anyway, have this one since this is a thread about anime originals, Mai Hime when the two psycho lesbians fight and at the end they both die because they were each other special person.

Is the standard for what is worse.

I wouldn't compare a completely original IP to Cyberpunk (made by studio trigger and related to a video game for maximum board in/v/asion) or fucking Eva

That's the thing though why is the action the only semi decent thing about it, it's criminal that so much money and effort were spent on this script when much better stories exist. Just readapt Terra e for the third time I don't know

Popular I.P doesn't count.

Ok, I'll take another example, how many DMC threads do you see right now?
None, because it's uninteresting boring shit.
Comparatively we would still be having general tier Edgerunner threads if it was released a couple weeks ago.

DMC

Isn't that Anon Babble? Most of the threads are there, like the Castlevania ones.
Same with Scott Pilgrim.

I feel like it was a C tier story with an A tier budget

That's a pretty apt way of describing it yes.

fujo bait but when the MC betrays his side to join his bro they spend their two years living together without exchanging a word + it's all offscreened

we're supposed to feel bad and invested for the drama of a yandere girl who wants to kill her bf and her bf's gf because an AI told her to

mc sends his brother (who literally, actually did nothing wrong) to die and we're supposed to think he's still a good guy because it all turned out ok in the end with the AI dying and also muh pokemon go hint he survived

Just, fuck off show. So many promises were made, and it seemed like the show tried to make a point on never delivering on any of them. I do remember really enjoying the crew dynamics but at the end of the day that's still a surface level detail that doesn't replace a good script.

It wasn't even good fujo bait because he didn't betrayed for Phil but for Mary.

Well, we have a rule you see. It it´s commissioned by a streaming service like Netflix or Max (in short by the west) we don´t count it as anime. The reason being that even if the studios themselves and the people working on these projects are Japanese there is always client editorial inputs.

Put it simply productions like this, Lazarus or Suicide Squad isekai are trojan horses. They are designed to look like anime to appeal and target that audience but underneath they are just more hollywood slop. The kind of slop lots of us are trying to avoid by watching anime to begin with.

So thanks, but no thanks. And yes we are gatekeeping. Fuck off.

Isn't that Anon Babble

Japanese IP

Korean studio

I don't fucking know. We have To be Hero X threads right now and it's Dongua through and through not anime, it just happens to have Japanese dub and Sawano. Same with Supercube Sakuga posting.
And whether it's Anon Babble or Anon Babble didn't stop people from talking about ToG and SL in here outside of the anime threads in here either. That's how actual interest and discussion work.

I think there's a difference between Korean IPs made for the Asian market and the animation studio that makes things like the Legend of Korra and Kipo

DMC

Not Asian IP

Not Asian Market

Anon...

Made in English first

You tell me

most reddit post Ive seen all day

The trailer looked fantastic, the animation and the concept with the cloaks and all, but you're instantly treated to an infodump and it goes absolutely fucking nowhere.

Anon Babblewe

You are right, To Be Hero doesn't belong on Anon Babble and it is being defended inexplicably. Tower of God doesn't stay up and meanwhile Solo Leveling is an anime. All determined by Japan actually heading the production's key staff positions, which isn't the case for Scott Pilgrim but is for Rick and Morty.

Anon Babble only watch things dubbed.

Ok-Good animation
really boring generic story and mostly unlikeable characters
nobody is talking about it because it's a 5/10 show that was released all at once more than a month ago
this is 90% cope and 10% reality
90 because if it was good or at least interesting enough people would be talking about still and 10% because yes even the most god awful shows do get talked about until they finish airing
