| Oh fucking wow, this is really horrible. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| What...what were they thinking?? And i was really looking forward for a good adaptation, damn! |
| Well, I heard many western viewers of anime say they don't care about character design and in fact hate the unrealistic, often moe, artstyle and lament why Japanese anime cannot have more realistic character design? Now your wish is granted. The wonder and glory of rotoscope animation, courtesy of the demanding director Nagahama Hiroshi. |

| 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. |
ROOOARRR said: Hmm, the visuals don't look that bad to me. It's not the typical anime look but if it helps to bring the story across then I won't complain. And from the looks of the manga the original character design doesn't seem like it strives to be attractive anyway. The horror when they try to animate this scene... http://i.imgur.com/BpFumNM.jpg The original manga art might not be the best at making attractive characters, but its still leagues better than this junk |

 |
| Good lord ... You can't be serious, I was looking foward to this adaptation. I guess I was wrong, now they gonna revolute the anime industry? with rotoscope animation? Now we're going to see some old fags calling this real art and put on a perfect score - 10!!!!!!!!! |

And doing rotoscope animation might be unique , but can you consider it to be better than the usual animation ? 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 |

| WTF JUST HAPPENED |
| Well, I'm waiting for translation. Guess, whole rotoscopy ordeal will just add layer of depression onto that pile of melancholy. I'm kind of disappointed but not that much. |

And i don't think Aku no Hana would have any moe in it if it had normal animation. Oh well, i guess i'll have to wait for a real Aku no Hana adaptation. |

Tommk said: Well, I just echo what I heard before from some western viewers. 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.

| 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!!! |

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 .
