I wish more posts in this thread had art included

Art is kinfa difficult imo, there are some images I can't find of scenes I remember reading, and I have no idea where to find a good quality image of those particular pannels. But I strongly reccomend everyone read Kokou no Hito. The art is amazing, aside from the characters having very long necks, and the art gets much better as the story progresses. The art is something I love in the manga becuase it adds so much tension and atmosphere to the scenes, which is why it's so fucking annoying that I can't find the images I want (The story/characters are pretty great too). All I can post is this.

In my sperging I forgot to even describe it. Kokou no Hito is a manga about rock climbing, the main character ends up really enjoying it, and you see him progress from indoor rock climbing club at school, to alpine climbing. His goal is to climb the most difficult mountain there is, and he's pretty autistic about it, very obsessed. But it is great seeing all the stuff that happens along the way, how characters develop, etc. But the main thing is the fantastic atmosphere imo.

Same dude behind Innocent and is now doing DRCL Midnight Children. His art is fantastic.
 
While I wait for Mugen train to come out in america (Yea it might be on a bad camera now since the aussies got it but I'll wait for the crisp clear version) I finally got back to my back log of old unfinished animes. I'm restarting Nanbaka and Sakamoto and I forgot how hilarious this shit was.

I still need to finish Mob Psycho 2. Ngl the whole episode with Reigen having a realization really hit home and I'm still not over it.

lol well, now it's set for a March 8 release. Like a lot of people expected they're doing as short of a lead time between announcement and release as possible, though setting it one day after the state of emergency ends just seems like it's asking for trouble.

It also confirms the leaked 2.5 hour runtime, which is pretty insane for an anime movie - I think making it the 4th longest ever. That's reassuring news, because I don't think anything under 2 hours would be able to adequately end the story AND address all the shit we need to see from the timeskip and from the past.

Is there a real reason to believe the film will be good? usually a lot of delays means it's become a mess writing-wise.

One thing to note is that the film hasn't literally been in production for 9 years. Far as we're aware, Anno felt really burned out with Eva after finishing 3.0 (which would've accounted for the initial delay past the planned 2013 release date), then officially took a break to work on Shin Godzilla (released in 2016) before actually breaking ground on 3.0+1.0, which far as we know was going to make the June 2020 deadline before the coof hit. That accounts for an actual production schedule of 3-4 years, which seems pretty reasonable for a 2.5 hour long movie.

If the runtime were 90 minutes I'd say there's pretty much zero chance the movie will be good or satisfying, but 2.5 hours is ample time to fit in all the required elements to make the rebuilds as a whole feel complete.
 
2.5 hours is pretty much the same length as The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya so I suppose it would be comparable to that other than how Haruhi only ever got one theatrical movie before Shinji Aoba burnt the studio down.

Didn't the Haruhi franchise die because they caught Haruhi's VA doing drugs?

I don't remember the drugs part, the big scandal was that she was sleeping with members of her band.

Anyway, Aya Hirano still voiced Haruhi after the scandal (for pachinko machines and The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato alternate universe spin-off TV series), the probable actual reason the main Haruhi Suzumiya anime stopped after the Disappearance movie was that there were no new Haruhi books to sell for almost a decade due to Nagaru Tanigawa suffering from a serious case of writer's block.

I thought it was because she was fucking everyone in her band other than the bassist.
Either that, or it was a combination of the ln writer not writing enough to make a season worth it and Endless Eight reception.

Btw is anyone watching The Promised Neverland? I found it to be fairly mediocre if not bad, but I dropped the manga after the first arc. The coping is pretty fun though. People were excited to hear that the author was involved and making an original ending, but it turned out they're just skipping to the end.

To be more precise, even before the new book, there was already enough unanimated Light Novel material for several seasons or Disappearance-length movies to be produced, it's just that Kadokawa didn't seem interested in commissioning more anime without a new book to sell.

Another factor is that the first full-length Haruhi Suzumiya novel after Disappearance is Intrigues, which wraps up the time loop from Disappearance in the Prologue, and then, after that, is mainly future Mikuru telling Kyon to do random mundane, almost practical joke-seeming, tasks, tasks that have a point but which, together, aren't nearly as epic a story as Disappearance since it was more of a "setting things up that will play out in future novels" kind of book.

The manga gets really REALLY dumb and the anime cut out the last few parts anyone liked to get there quicker, it's incredible. I wonder if the author thought this was a good idea or if the studio just wanted to zoom through it and get it done. I hope the ending is even worse than the manga version just to piss people off. The show is pretty though I'll give it that. The manga could be too when it tried, though that was usually just the volume and chapter covers.

I don't know, maybe they want to course correct and fix the dumb shit and go back to the other stuff later? I mean, right now I can't see why anyone would side with Emma over Norman, since she seems like a naïve fucking idiot. I mean, the whole thing is really clear cut to me without any shocking revelations. I mean, if the manga's latter half is just trash, why even bother doing the good part if you're just going to ruin it later? I have to respect that decision at least.
