Looks promising. I have my fingers crossed.

Word of advice, play the original video games over the adaptations i haven't played cyberpunk 2077 mainly because fps shooters are all absolute fucking cancer trash dog fucking shit covered in piss.

Take TWEWY's adaptation for example, it sucked soooooooo zetta bad and i am still never going to be overed on how half assed it is and yeah stick to the original games as they are always almost better than the adaptations itself.

Are you on some substance right now? You do know what it is a director actually does, right?

>oh you don't appreciate Trigger, you must be on a substance!

Kek.

Uh-huh. Well, you've answered my first question.

I don't know how you aren't aware of this already, but inaccurately repeating my comments is not a counterargument to them. So I'll repeat my second question, that you tellingly ignored - what is it you think a director's job is? (Hint: It's an aspect of filmmaking I already brought up.) Let's see those gears turn, if they can.

What on earth is this based on? Pretty much the only thing he did major directorial work for since KLK was Promare, and that was excellently shot.

So... it's gonna be garbage.

Imaishi just isn't what he used to be, he no longer has that geeky energy to homage 70s works and cartoons like he did with Gurren Lagann, Panty ans Stocking and Kill la Kill.

Honestly can't wait to see this. Looks fun and exciting and faithful to its central theme. Very stylish.

Aug 3, 2022 8:57 PM by DeonX

Who said I associate Trigger with Imaishi? You yourself have made such a conclusion.

Sorry once again, I shouldn't assume even when something like that is insanely common. I should have said "anybody who associates almost any studio to any specific style, whatever that is" as that is so commonly accompanied by a piss-poor understanding of the anime industry that I try to be quite didactic when saying that it doesn't make much sense to conflate a studio to a general style or vibe or whatever you were thinking when writing that original comment.

Did you doesn't think it was just a joke? Without any special meaning, even if you close your eyes to the fact that Trigger is one of those studios that have their own style.

I would imagine that it's because the image you have of a Trigger anime should look is of Trigger shows directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, which is what this is, while other Trigger shows have different vibes because the studio isn't a monolith and different directors there have different approaches.
