how to train your dragon is like the only 3d movie that actually used it properly.
Avatar is still by far the best utilization of 3D, I mean it's the reason why the 3D craze started in the first place. Effects are also just about the only thing it has going for it though, the script is mediocre at best but god damn that movie is beautiful.
when i saw avatar the 3d started to become progressively less noticeable as the movie went along with all its wow visual moments coming directly from the special effects than the 3d, it really just seemed like a fad to me that added nothing to the movie. HTTYD was the only one ive seen that really added anything to the movie because of its aerial action scenes.

I just dont think it really adds anything to movies especially at the price increase. There is a genuine wow feeling to it but it kind of wears off before the first act is ever over, avatar in particular was one where i just got used to it very early on and it felt like i was just watching a normal movie.

I disagree, if anything not noticing the 3D probably means it was immersive. I've only seen it once in 2D but I think the difference is pretty stark.

The part of Avatar that makes it worth watching, imo, is world building. Pandora feels very real and 3D is a huge part of that.

Avatar was so long time ago now but I do remember my experience with 3D in theaters for the first time watching it was quite amazing but then no one came even close to that in terms of 3D atleast. The movie is itself is another subject...

Oh yea there was definitely a wow factor the first time I saw it, which is why I'm willing to give the new one a shot. But yea the script is kinda bad, it's basically a mash up of Dances with Wolves and Ferngully.

I think avatar's action scenes were pretty enjoyable, the script was really bland but i think as a popcorn film its worth it cause the animators did do a damn good job with it.

I'm genuinly surprised how high the score was, i was sure it was gonna wind up scoring considerably lower than the original but at this rate it might actually wind up with the same or higher.

Not even sure why they started out with that episode since it was barely an introduction episode and just another "case of the week" episode much like all these other also been but they've been much better executed and didn't lack the animation that the first episode did on lots of moments. Maybe the studio is getting into it now because I have to remember myself sometimes that this is their first work ever and it's pretty ambitious to go for historical imo, on that front I can cut them some slack.

actually i read the first episode was outsourced to a korean studio for some reason, so that might be why ep 1 was off.

you think as their debut episode they'd put more effort into that than others but oh well.

man automata better pull all its punches in the story department like the first game did, I hope there will be a moment as heartbreaking as the novel section of kaine's backstory. Wonder if taro will actually follow through on the game having a "happy" ending.

It's not their first work ever, it's just Masao Maruyama's core team that went from Madhouse to Mappa to this new studio, attempting to create the last few projects he wants to, before he dies. Dream Machine pls.

Also, I heard that the first episode was amazing, lol. It's the last Winter show I have to check out, let's see which side of the fence I fall on.

Berseria is better than Zestiria... in every aspect imaginable

The standouts are obviously the story and thus characters though. The protagonist is far better because she's not a fucking naive one dimensional child character like Sorey, instead she has conflict. And the same could be said for all of the supporting cast, they all have a lot more depth in addition to the humor bits.

I feel like a Tales game at its best is basically an above average interactive anime because of the very anime-like tropes found all over the games and this feels right at home with that definition.

One other thing that's really important in a JRPG like this is the level design because you'll be spending most of your time walking around looking for chests, and it has improved quite a bit from Zestiria there too. Invisible walls all over the map are still a thing but a whole layer of complexion has been added to make it not feel quite as much of a tube-walk. Plus, there's a whole lot more collectibles/chests/secrets to be found in the environment which was also missing from Zestiria

basically Zestiria missed everything to make it a decent game and Berseria delivers pretty well on all those fronts, making it a very enjoyable anime game

Bang Dream is a competent music-themed CGDCT, I hope the decent character art doesn't slip up later on.
At least it seems to have good CG performances without frame-skipping, which is good enough for me.

I'd only recommend it if you're into the genre.

I love all their track. Been listening over and over. Hope at some point it will appear in the anime.



And the MV they have is good too.



Also hoping they will appear too not just character for game in Spring latter.

I can't sympathize with her at all, her problems have nothing to do with the fact that she's a snow woman and the way she handled them only made them worse if anything, "I freeze things if I'm depressed, I know, I'll just keep doing things that make me more depressed, genius".
