Your opinion on the new adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin is WRONG!

WRONG!

you should probably play a game like shangrila frontier, such as monster hunter, then you might grasp a little bit more about the anime, as monster hunter is really huge in japan it 100% takes a lot of its essence from it.

Blud, you need to pay more attention when Watching Shows. Else you'll end up making Shite Reviews that people don't Need.

your reviews are good but you have the most painfully reddit bio on this entire site

The Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation short looks pretty good, probably not on the same level as Gainex but still pretty awesome and it has a mix of western and japanese styles.

It’s not that 3D technology ruins it, it’s that Japanese animators have not been able to perfect the technique of utilizing it yet and when its appropriate and instead attempt to animate everything around the vortex of the object including backgrounds as well as foreground objects. They animate like it’s a video game and you just can't do that. Part of what makes animation especially Japanese animation so unique and different and fluid is that very little is animated as possible, for example a character just standing, well animating just the hair, gives you a very illustrative wind blowing effect like he/she is standing with hair blowing in the wind. It’s very picturistic and almost like its straight out of a manga panel or actually using collision detection with animation where foreground objects interact with other foreground objects to give you realistic depictions of action sequences, you know when a person stabs someone with a sword, you actually see it. Not skip the frame after the sequence and provide a still image of the person down on the ground, like it is in so many shonens these days.

Speaking in terms of backgrounds, hand drawn art I feel is a very lost age and technology because it truly brought anime to life in a way you can never do with static computerized backgrounds. With space cobra for example if you look at every shot, you can see all the brush strokes, even the flaws in each picture and it really gives it a greater detailed look, like a canvas that just stretches out with slightly different alterations, per BG shot. With CGI, it looks like the same repeated shot on a loop in comparison. This is what some fans have called the “Tron effect” because it looks like you’re inside a tron world. It is also very apparent when you encounter fast-moving foreground objects like someone driving or a robot or some mecha traveling quick and the background scrolls.

Also, by far the WORST thing I have ever seen in the industry is mixing 2d animation with 3D CGI. If you notice alot of western 3d films or tv shows, they are either animation or 3d CGI, but never both. There is such a thing as a clash with the two different styles and that is what you get. You can't physically create 2d animation foreground objects over a 3d background, and you can't create 3d foreground objects over a 2d background. How are these animated 2d objects supposed to interact with the background environment? It’s just impossible, there on a completely different field and so you get shit like the Berserk remake as a result or even in some instances, scenes from attack on titan. CGI is nothing new, its been a part of the anime industry for many years unlike 3d, but I think animators new more how to use it to great effect for example battle starship Yamato, it was only used during explosions or when the ship was taking off for space travel. Also I think in real motion picture 2d animation, you had frames moving much quicker then you do with 3d. You ever look at the way 3d objects move on screen, its very robotic and just rigid movement. Extremly unappealing.

Anyways I can go on about this stuff and I am by no means a photography major or have my qualifications in anime production, but even I am pretty observant to some of the problems with animation these days and I think a lot of it mainly is because its far less costly and time consuming so studio production companies can whip up something pretty fast using 3d and digitized CG techniques but the newer generation of designers and animators just suck at implementing it.

I knew something had to be deleted because part of what you said was non-sequitur otherwise. Thanks for the context. Even worse if he sicced a mod on you as a compromise to delete anything that possibly violated the rules in some minor way.

That was one savage, well-marinated roast!

I don't have much of an opinion on most reviewers here, but he writes some of the most generic 10/10 for everything "crowd pleaser" reviews I've ever seen. Wouldn't surprise me if he were a bot.

I remember he deleted all of my responses (I got a message similar to the one he left you), so I'm surprised he let those stay up.

The backgrounds are just static screen? What do you expect lol this is 2023 bro. The high peak of motion picture masterpieces in the late 80's have long been dead. Just look at Full metal panic the newest entry for an example. Now a days with digitized backgrounds and CGI 3d (Berserk which started this whole innovation) it feels like anime has this strange abnormal weird cross between video game graphics and living in a tron world.

Though that is not to say that every single production is like that, once in a blue moon you will find something that goes above and beyond like Ufotable's Demon slayer or Studio Bones One punch man. But yeah I kind of do miss the more gritty, artistic hand drawn motion pictures of the yesteryears. Unfortantly with the advent of 3d taking over animation, its only going to get worse. What I would like to know who's dumb ass idea was it to mix 3DCGI with 2d animation? It just doesn't work, its simple programming concept, collision detection, it clashes every time.

These new gen kids that watch all these shonen's and there isekai's don't even have a clue what real motion picture animation is.

It hurts me to say this as a big Kenshin fan, but your review of the 2023 series is painfully accurate. There is NO style or soul to it. This isn't even an adaptation. It's like one of those "moving comics" where they just put the comic panels on screen and give a few characters some limited movement. The new soundtrack is so minimalist and underwhelming it may as well not exist. Where the Hell is Noriyuki Asakura?! Maybe he had too much dignity to involve himself with another Watsuki project following the child pornography incident?

Calling nanatsuma a disgrace while being an isekai ojiisan fan is hilarious. Unserious person
