At least being a split-cour will give them more time to cook.

@ZXEAN TMS have good source material, but they don't elevate it. Dr Stone is a way better manga than anime, carried by the IP, OST and VAs. The animation should elevate the series, and TMS aren't good at that.

@luffysenchou the problem is, the manga looks way better, and they're supposed to use the medium to elevate it. When the manga implies motion better than the anime does you've got a problem.

I don't get this. Sakamoto Days is Jump's big series right now. It could've taken the world by storm with a stellar anime adaptation. Something like OPM, Dandadan or even MHA. This isn't flashy nor weighty enough; it doesn't convey how good the art of the manga is.

Didn't they learn their lesson from Black Clover and Demon Slayer? Good anime makes the big bucks. Hope the animation picks up when it actually airs.

It looks pretty good to me.

@Mattinator95 But isn't this a light action comedy?

Nov 14, 9:22 AM by RobertBobert

@RobertBobert it’s an ongoing manga so I guess one of those could happen

@Sleabedybarb are you 12??

We'll see how it goes, but Yuki Hayashi music + Vaundy OP is already a great start.

I pray they dont butcher this

With Yuuki Hayashi doing the music, that gives me hope that at least the OST will be fire. Despite how much I enjoy the manga I'm still gonna go into this with reserved expectations.

@Sleabedybarb It is not Netflix that chooses who works on what, they just picked up the streaming exclusivity and that's it.

Said my someone whose half of the anime list is filled with garbage anime.

All the three anime I mentioned above were made in recent years. TMS recent track record is really good you should check out their list.

@Sleabedybarb Really? It's looks really good to me and I don't know when did TMS Entertainment end up being a shity studio. They have worked on lots of high profile anime before like Dr Stone, Fruit Basket Remake and Magalobox. Currently airing Blue Box is made by Telecom Animation which is a subsidiary of TMS Entertainment as well.

Nov 13, 6:40 AM by ZXEAN

Looks awful, FUCK Netflix for picking this up and giving it to a shit studio.

Nov 13, 6:33 AM by Sleabedybarb

Good, but I thought that it will be a continuous airing.

Nov 13, 5:11 AM by Memore

Please tell me that I can safely enjoy this and no terrible ending or stretching of the plot for the sake of milking the title will ruin it for me.

Nov 13, 4:59 AM by RobertBobert

God, that OP is a fucking banger. They got SOMETHING right, at least.

But yeah, animation looking VERY limited, like there is little to no impact when Sakamoto punches lmao. This whole two cour thing as well, doesn’t look too good.
