General Anime Thread

Sure.

But the level of depicted blood and violence is NOT the reason why japanese fans dislike Chainsawman.

Japanese fans have a very refined taste and they clearly are more in tune to how a faithful anime adaptation should be like.

They criticize among others;

Makima getting the wrong VA to play her role.
Denji’s rookie VA being mediocre.
Anime gag faces missing in pursuit of more live-action vibe.
Pacing is slow and deliberate, unlike the fast and chaotic pace in the manga.
Forgettable music.

If there was someone who complained about the amount of blood on screen, they wasn’t loud enough.

@tehwatever
The pacing I will give.

Finished My Hero Academia Season 4.

I definitely have some qualms about how certain elements were handled (the slideshow-esque presentation of Lemillion’s shining moment being the biggest offender), and the whole “reminding the audience of who the characters are” shtick got old after literally two episodes, but this was still a fantastic season overall.

This season also hit harder on an emotional level. Nighteye’s death especially had me in tears. I already knew it would happen ahead of time, but I still bawled my eyes out when it happened. It REALLY is that good.

@Holofan4life
What Anime is that and what going on in that picture?

@Zeldafan246GL
It’s Endo and Kobayashi Live. The blonde haired girl is having a nightmare in the picture. However, I think it looks unintentionally hilarious than scary.

@Holofan4life
Blade Runner 2049

Going to see the Kaguya-sama movie tonight

My sister suggested to watch the SAO movie in theater

Buddy Daddies may low-key be the best anime of the season.

What if there was an anime movie where someone is stuck reliving the same day over and over again. However, each day is a different genre. Comedy, Drama, fantasy, mech, you name it, each with their own art style.

It eventually gets revealed that the person is reliving the same day over and over again because there’s a tsundere who has a crush on him who cannot confess her feelings to him. She knew the next day at school he was going to confess to his crush, so in order to stop this she put the world in an infinite timeloop until she becomes his crush.

In the end, the guy would be able to convince her that even though she’s scared and afraid of possibly being hurt, there are people out there who care about her. She is not alone, and never will be. They end up becoming friends and he ends up moving on as well after his crush turns him down.

That basically sound like the plot of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (very good movie) but done in the style of Waking Life (it’s okay).

@Dustcan
I was thinking it would be more like Groundhog Day mixed with Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Sometimes medieval video game worlds in danger can’t wait for their hero.

I think I’ve got more interest in slice-of-life anime.

Hopefully the new Digimon movie is more like Last Adventure Kizuna than tri.

Shonen Jump is considering and working on A.I. translators.

Oh no… It’s going to be dog shit.

@♥♥Princess♥♥Celestia♥♥
It’s already dog shit with modern slang. No one cares about people that didn’t do their job losing it.

@Cyborg_pony
Guess which of these is the ai translation.

Ai could potentially be a helpful tool, but in this case they gave a few sample pages to someone to translate to promote the manga, but always planned on cheaping out and releasing the whole thing as ai nonsense.

@Cyborg_pony
They do a far better job at translating material then you ever could.

@Dex Stewart
That wasn’t A.I. translated though.

Dont get me wrong, it’s an awful translation that goes to show why doing a 100% literal translation is a terrible idea. But that’s the extent of it.

@Dex Stewart
One was made by a fansub, The other a company that paid people (same as one of your examples sadly):

A.I. art has gotten better and so will A.I. Translations. Pardon me; but I stopped giving a fuck because they didn’t about their own work yet still gloat, brad and demand being validated over it.
