Tu Bian Yingxiong X Episode 15 Discussion

animation quality is dropping heck the sakuga fights is just reuse from the last loli episodes might be a tight production now since its consecutive 2 cours

so ghostblade is not a stalker of nono but actually her dork father dang

ghostblade is cool though a silent killer but ye he being emotionless is a problem to his family

but damn the peoples public image of ghostblade is that he cannot talk so thats why he cannot reminds of that hero that cannot sit on old episodes

@deg bro you can say many things about TBHX's quality but its animation quality is not one of them

@Wispy09876 watch more consistently animated shows then like mob psycho or the fate anime shows of ufotable

@deg i have watched them, im not about to compare TBHX to complete outliers of animation perfection my guy

@Wispy09876 well this chinese cartoon is hype to the max so its not unreasonable to have high expectations with it

@deg yes, yes it is unreasonable

@Wispy09876 again more hype means more expectations

@deg there was hype surrounding it after its release

also hype =/= great animation. For example Sakamoto Days

@Wispy09876 exactly why sakamoto days fans especially manga fans are disappointed

@deg exactly, and that shows that something with a lot of hype wont always have good animation

even this season look at Takopi's Original Sin i personally had never heard of it before its release saw literally no hype about it but it has absolutely phenomenal animation

@Wispy09876 youre denying how fan expectations work by default while you cite exceptions to the rule

and you imply that you agree the animation is mid this episode alone

@deg i never stated anime with hype always have subpar animation and i never stated anime with no hype always have great animation. I was stating exceptions to show that what you said isnt always trur

i did not imply the animation is mid at all

i thought this episode looked great in fact

@Wispy09876 and i never said hype anime always have great animation but should have as a hype fan

compared to queen and lucky cyan episodes youre in denial

@deg did i state it was in anyway better than the literal peak of the animation this series has seen so far?

im not in denial, its called using my eyes and having an opinion

@Wispy09876 ok enough then i got my own opinion and eyes too

@deg also the animation in this episode is far from mid

@Wispy09876 that is your opinion not mine

@deg how is it mid then?

This episode makes me a little mad.

Not because there's anything wrong with it. Quite the opposite. Makes me mad that the previous episodes, between E-Soul's arc and this one, were so meh. We have clearly seen in this episode, and in Nice and E-Soul's arcs, that the show creators can write something pretty compelling, with decent pacing and a kind of storyboarding that makes the episode magnetic.

So I'm bummed we didn't get this level of care in writing with Lucky Cyan, Queen, and Loli (especially the latter two). And I know it's coincidence purely, but none of the female characters really get as strong as episodes. It's just a bit sad. Ghostblade's first episode was shockingly good compared to the kind of slog this show had entered. I like this show, so I really hoped it would be consistently as good.

Yet again I go into a TBHX arc with low expectations and come out very happy. I was kinda disappointed we were going back to a male MC after 3 straight banger arcs with badass female heroes, but I really like Ghostblade and am rooting for him now! Dude is just an extremely socially awkward protective dad trying to get close to his daughter :/

The opening scene with Ghostblade’s backstory and family life was so well directed. I like how over dramatic it seems, but that’s how excessively loud environments feel to introverted people. It’s an assault on the senses and they portrayed it perfectly. To all of his family, it probably felt like a joyous celebration, but it was hell for Ghostblade.

Me and the assassin I pulled by being chronically online, lmaoo Zhang and Ghostblade’s unconventional romance had me fucking crying bro. There’s no way you’re telling me she was texting during every date, the wedding AND said “I do” via text message. A gen z love story. It’s interesting how becoming a parent was the catalyst to change her life and make her become more present in reality, whereas Ghostblade just couldn’t make the transition as easily. The look on bro’s face when he found out he might have to live with his in-law’s and talk to people again 😭

Can’t really blame Zhang for leaving and taking Nuonuo, but damn she didn’t have to say he was “dead to Nuonuo”

Very cool to get Ghostblade’s perspective of the alley fight and all the “stalking” scenes. Turns out he didn’t have a scary mask on nor was he trying to be mysterious, he’s just so naturally aloof and scary that Nuonuo misinterpreted! He could only get closer to her in the way he knew how.

Yea apologies, this arc was needed. I learned a lot about Ghostblade and totally changed my perspective of Luoli/Nuonuo’s arc. This whole time buddy just wanted to establish a relationship with his daughter and she doesn’t even know everything he’s been through to do that.. :/ hopefully they get a reunion soon. For now, let’s see what these aliens are about.

Because I like women and the women heroes are the best. + I’m a cyan stan.

@Vileste his wife should have let him be by his daughter's side. That would have helped a lot.

Did I say anything to the contrary? What’re you replying to.
