Yeah, obsession over story and an overaching plot, allergy to moe and fan service, lack of tolerance for more open-ended development, all true, but there are also many who say they never care about how the characters look and care only about the story, well, let's see those people should not feel disappointed about the character art here then if they really never care about how the character art and design is like when they watch an anime.No, being unique doesn't mean that it will be good. Since the fuck when the majority demands for realistic character designs, what they usually want is better storyline,less cheesey crap,less extreme fanservice,and less cliffhangers. You rarely hear people want ''real life character designs''. We all want the big eyes and beautiful coloured hair. Just my opinion. I had to let it all out |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I once said that the character designs for the Aku No Hana manga were horrible. I take it back. Compared to the anime version, those designs are the equivalent of Belldandy and Lum. GODDAMN IS THE ANIME VERSION UGLY!!! |

If its the majority, all of the current anime will be turned into this. But wow, their mindset amazes me. |

Tommk said: Minority maybe, but I have seen quite a few even in MAL, and they can be vocal too. I really wonder whether those people will still insist how little they care about character design after checking this. Personally character design is an important factor for my enjoyment of an anime. I am sure if the character design is changed to what look like in western cartoon I would watch much less anime.I think thats the minority lol.

Its just aint my type, not the influence by others. So instead of hating on it through the entire series and rating it badly (DragonisMarch = dude that forces himself to watch an entire series to make hate videos on it) . Imma used the same old usual way, drop it on ep 1 without a rating . |

Agreed, But I dont think Roto animation can be used for those type of anime like FMA Brotherhood and etc. Imposibru . So at least those will be safe. Its just for those slice of life,comedy,drama,school genre |

Tommk said: Well, Hollywood used roto animation before to film science fiction, so it is not just real life comedy and school stuff... Besides, I'd say for Slice of Life, character design is even more important, so I think the chance of it being used in SoL is even slimmer.But I dont think Roto animation can can be used for those type of anime like FMA Brotherhood and etc. Imposibru .

So yeah, peace. |

| ... What the fuck is this. The manga is soooo good,Why did it have to be like this. |
| Let's see how will they animate the rape scene :D |
 |
| I don't understand. Did the author really want his work to be badly ruined like this? |

parfaited said: Saw that review of the guy that "wanted to gouge his eyes with cheap chopsticks". Me: Stop it guys, it can't be that *watches some of episode 1* horrib---- OH. I had the same reaction.. -Go to my panel -Saw a guy reviewed it with a 1, and was saying that it's Bad -In my head, it's a new anime, how could they fuck things up in the first episode -Saw pics and the gifs -me : oooohhh, that kind of bad. |

| The animation here may be well done, but personally I think it's ugly and I'd rather watch black & white 60's anime. It's just awkward. |

You mean users like this guy? How can anybody have a high expectation for this? They are going to candy coat the shit out of it so more people like it. Watch as Nanako Saeki ends up being like some over hyper super loli and Sawa Nakamura ends up as some cocky girl like Taiga from Toradora. Well, he got what he wished for "they didn't hyper sugar coat this indeed"...lol |

Zerkalo said: No it doesnt say the quality for rotoscoping, it says the quality for how badly aku no hana used it, Stuff from the 80's used rotoscoping better than this did.Tommk said: kaimax said: Zerkalo said: Seriously?!

Aku no hana butchered rotoscope which is normally a really good looking animation choice when not completely half assed like this was |

| What must this happens for the anime I wanted to watch the most this season ? I'll drop it for now. I'll give it a chance when over, in order to vomit my guts only one day. |

| Oh man, i was so hyped. This is why i hate animes that don't deserve their good art/animation. Who is going to watch? Someone make them stop. |
 |
| Ehh, I've seen plenty of anime that have made regrettable animation decisions. This thing looks like a sloppy, ugly beast, but I'm still waiting for the subs to see how it goes. The plot still sounds too interesting for me to pass up. Animation isn't everything. |
