Kind of wish more shows did that but I also kind of feel like it'd be a bit disrespectful to the cgi animators.HereticHunter said: Its good to see a non CGI transformation once in a while A lot of the plane scenes are CGI, but in post-processing are made to look like they aren't – and they do a good job of it. https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/04/17/dragon-pilot-hisone-masotan-production-notes-01/ |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I love the nonsense and randomness of this. We need more stories that just do whatever they feel like. Anyway, new dude came in with the ability to touch girls and figure out their sizes at a glance... Kaizaki's attempt at bullying were too simple, shes gotta be more direct with it or it won't work against the kind and dense brick wall that is Amakasu, but she got some good character development through all of this, so that's good. Also those costumes... This was a good episode. |

HereticHunter said: I was talking about the specific GIF I shared here OK. It didn't display for me, so I didn't get that you were talking about the specific scene:  Heiach said: I literally thought the guy he was talking to was called Miku. It said miko, not miku, though… plus it was all lowercase, i.e. not starting with a capital letter like a name would have had. The translation was fine. :) |

It didn't display for me, so I didn't get that you were talking about the specific scene: oh sorry, I guess I shared the gif wrongly. It's the part where Masotan found the girl who deserted with a bike. |

JizzyHitler said: Wow this episode was actually better than the first, the comedy was just toally on point, the misunderstanding from hisone about the bullying was probably the most entertaining gag this season so far, I love her rudeness as a result of her rants. Why wont people just give this show a chance, its got so much heart and soul yet its completely drowned out by every other show this season Well most people just watched hyped seasonsals, and this one isen't really hyped + it doesen't look like somthing that makes every one go damn i need to watch this. I'm simply not liking this so far, it's not necessarily terrible but it doesen't do anything particularly well either. That said i did laugh when the misunderstanding happend, so i can see myself enjoying this to some extent if there are more funny interactions like that. |
frozenpandaman said: Atomsk102 said: We now have a better indication of how big of an aviation fanboy the author of the series is. Well, considering the entire premise, yes… but just a note that there are two authors working on the show, afaik (and Okada is a woman; Higuchi is a man). :) HereticHunter said: Its good to see a non CGI transformation once in a while A lot of the plane scenes are CGI, but in post-processing are made to look like they aren't – and they do a good job of it. https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/04/17/dragon-pilot-hisone-masotan-production-notes-01/ It's miko (as BlackstarFallen said), not miku.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miko Oh, yeah. Typo on my part. I posted that really late. :P |
frozenpandaman said: The website answers all. And Masotan (aka F-15J) is with Hisone (and maybe later Nao…?!) in Gifu. http://hisomaso.com/#chara Thanks. Also I thought this guy looked goofy but now I'm sure  "Features: Huge body, swallows everything, Easy going." I bet it gives the poor pilot a hard time. :D |
Effulgence said: I'm simply not liking this so far, it's not necessarily terrible but it doesen't do anything particularly well either. I mean, it's fine if it's not your style or whatever, but it's not like it's somehow *objectively* bad at what it's doing – it has superb animation and character design, a unique premise, pretty great music so far, a whole ton of big names with repeated industry + creative successes in the past working on many different aspects of it... |

I diden't state that it was objectively bad or did i? I said that i am not enjoying this aka a opinion. See you think it's great but that doesen't make it objectivly good either. I think it has a bad character desgin and premise, does that make it a fact? No it means it's debatable and hence why discussion threads exist. Btw if i don't like what i'm seeing then a bunch of big name tags won't change that. |
| Holy fuck how many fetishes are in this show The show itself is alright I guess, but the ED is a real banger. |

Purely out of curiosity, what makes a good character design? There is no such thing as this makes it good or this makes it bad. Sure there is pure technical stuff that is either good or badly done like Outlining ect but i have no knowledge on that. I'm just thinking that aesthetically they look ugly (imo). |

The website answers all. And Masotan (aka F-15J) is with Hisone (and maybe later Nao…?!) in Gifu. http://hisomaso.com/#chara I wonder if Nao will pilot, she's the only not wearing a suit in the ED and she's on the ground while the planes fly in the OP. |

Purely out of curiosity, what makes a good character design? Costume design, fitting & unique poses and gestures, verbal or physical tics, speech habits and mannerisms (dialects, sociolects, idiolects, and how these are portayed and presented and for what reasons), well-researched or inspired creature design (why are X's wings triangular and how does this show importance? Is color used in meaningful ways? How is non-human emotion or expression portrayed – facial expressions, body language, verbally?) &c &c. Good character design is addressing/exploring or not overlooking questions like this, and finding ways to convey this information, overtly or not, to the viewer. Effulgence said: I'm just thinking that aesthetically they look ugly (imo). It's stylized, and not just a typical "anime style," of course. I take it you also think Ping Pong The Animation looks ugly? :) |

I take it you also think Ping Pong The Animation looks ugly? :) They might or might not do well what you stated however like with tattoos for example you can be correct on the outlining, shading ect but that doesen't necessarily mean you think it's pretty. Like i said i have no knowledge on the technicalities, i just don't like how they look. Now that's just making assumptions for no good reason. Why would i dislike how Ping Pong looks just because i disliked somthing that looks completely different? No i don't dislike somthing just because it's not a "normal' "anime style" Just to give a few examples i liked how Princess Kaguya, Kemonozume and also Ping Pong looks there is more but those are the first ones i can think of. |

No, it was just made up, pretty sure. The illustration above implies/jokes about it being Shōjo Friend though. |

FMmatron said: I have to add that it took me a while to notice what the character design reminded me of. Nichijou had a similar vibe to it as well. Of course, this is a military setting as opposed to a school setting. Instead of a talking cat, we get pilotable dragons that transform into jets. All we need is a "child genius that acts her age"-like character and we're set. Then again, Nao fits half that description.... I already took a liking to the characters. Their simple design and personalities, especially Hisones are just so charming. |
| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| Episode wasn't as good as the first. Can't stand that bully girl. Animation was dynamic and expressive as always. |
| Shame cos the producers are doing an ace job, but the characters and subject matter really ain't interesting to me at all. |
| great ep and that ed was 2 good i like the op also but the ed is just amazing with that said am looking forward to seeing all those other characters to show up |
| "one step at a time" |
| France Gall song in an anime, huh |
| Really fun episode and character development I must say! Quite love where this series is going! |
 |
| How Hisone and Masotan bonded in this episode was nice. Nao really needs to take a chill pill. Her attempts at bullying only backfired for her. Her tendency to disobedience makes me wonder how she managed to get this position in the first place. Nepotism maybe. Hisone is a bit to sweet-tempered. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Cool episode. That ED is pure awesomeness. However, I went to YT and found that it is a cover. They should have used the original like JoJo does with the international songs. It sounds 100 times better. |
| Nao being the drama queen was quite a pain to watch but at least, the resolution of the conflict, while being convenient, made up for it in this episode. On the other hand, I'm liking Hisone's personality so far. Especially her antics, which I find to be rather charming. Very cute ED by the way. |
| This is some pretentious garbage. Really cool concept and overall art style that's completely ruined by annoying trashy characters and the story is a fucking joke. dropped 1/10 |

| Kaizaki Nao, the show's Asuka... Hmm, so if we recall in the previous episode, Dragons have been disguised for a long time, the fairly old thing inside Masotan's stomach with his name on it, should be connected along with Hisone potentially being a miko. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| That ED is pretty good. |
 |
| the butchered french from the ed sounds unexpectedly ok I only watch it for the ecchi |
    |
Catalano said: I don't even understand some of the words and I'm french lol, but yeah they chose a great one, too bad they did a cover and not just keep the original one which is way better the butchered french from the ed sounds unexpectedly ok |
 |
| Damn, this is pretty good. Doesn't take itself too seriously and is a lot funnier than what I was anticipating. Unique premise as well, a premise that would generally be far more serious in nature. |
| Can't bring myself to enjoy this anime, regardless of how artistic or introspective it tries to be. >disgusting recurring theme of being vored and vomited >forced fanservice that simply doesn't work because of the character (she's not sexy at all) and the unconventional, simplistic artstyle (badly pronounced shapes, very little effort put into shading) >speaking of, I'm not a fan of that artstyle >french ending song that makes me wanna puke >main character gets annoying, as she alternates between 2 modes: paralyzed with fear, and annoyingly autistically overtalkative |
