Bayonetta: Bloody Fate on MAL
NaruleachOct 6, 2013 2:29 AM
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.

Well that's interesting. Game was solid with some stellar music but the storyline was absolute nonsense even for a character action game. Hopefully it does it's own thing or modifies the story to be worth watching in non-interactive form

Hopefully they get the game's VA for the dub as well

I think the casting of those veteran seiyuu like Tanaka and Sonozaki really bode well for the movie. And animation shown in the PV looks good (if not terrific).

I don't even know how to gauge this honestly.

1. It's Gonzo
2. It's bayonetta.

Gonzo obviously has their issues, I don't really need to focus on those. But bayonetta has a really non existent/ really bad story in the first place. Unless they do really well with the fight scenes and nail the characters this is going to be bad.

Still going to watch it anyway.

Never played the game, but it has action and a hot hick so I'm down. Having all those all star seiyuu in the cast doesn't hurt either.

I wonder what you meant by the "disappointing run". The current Gonzo is a different Gonzo since 2009 when it was absorbed by its parent company GDH and then GDH changed its name to Gonzo. To be honest, Gonzo has not produced any anime as primary studio since then until this year, which is why you have not heard about it but it has been working as subcontractor studio all these years.

I haven't played the game, but GONZO's reputation for adaptations makes me feel rather skeptical about this.
Oh well. An extra anime movie won't hurt me. Hopefully.

I didn't hear much good about the game but I'm more surprised Gonzo is trying to do it. Most their works lately are on '3 minute flash short' level... And really, really bad at that.

Welcome to the online anime fandom...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Fact is people only remember the old Gonzo. Ask them what they think of the current (post-2009) Gonzo and they would have little to say.

I'll probably give it a try. Weird that they only announced it two months before release. I expect it to suck, but that's because I haven't seen a good video game adaptation yet, be it anime or live-action. Regardless, when it does happen, I'm not gonna miss it.

I mean I did skip all the cutscenes while playing it, therefore I hope Gonzo puts their effort it's guns blazing sequences.

Last thing I remember from Gonzo was that short "Ryo" and that was pretty mediocre.

Well, for me there is InuHasami this season and I cannot say I would vouch for it. Okay laughs here and there but animation-wise, character design-wise and even directing seems to exude a strong 00s feel. Don't know how faithful it adapts the LN so cannot comment on how Gonzo's adaptation goes these days.

well its gonzo, they cant balance their budget worth shit and put so much of their budget into only about 10 of the 80 minutes this film will probably have, i really wont be surprised if theres a good 15 minutes of still images

But you are talking about the Gonzo before its reorganization. How much about the new Gonzo do you know? What makes you feel that it will be the same as the old Gonzo before its restructuring?
