Konosuba really is the gold standard for an isekai, parody or otherwise, in my opinion.
There's a rumor going around the dub is not going to be done by the Rebuild cast (mostly consisting of the original actors) but of the newer cast who did the redub. Fuck that shit if true.
That’s all but confined. With how Funimation botched 3.0’s release, and how their employees have been repeatedly shit-talking Khara on social media, it’s clear that they’ve destroyed whatever working relationship they might have had with Khara 10 years ago.
That will be terrible especially if they also have the team from the Netflix redub writing it who really fucked up.
...yeah, about Escaflowne. I mean it starts off pretty good and goes strong for awhile, but then...things just kind of happen and doesn't happen.
After watching all three of the Fate/Stay Night: Heavens Feel movies and the Demon Slayer movie.
Seriously, where do they get the budget? Are blu-ray sales that high or are they paying their animators even less than everyone else?
I honestly have no idea. It is nuts tho. I know they have around 200+ people working for them and two teams going at the same time usually.
I can only assume on those big releases they get quite a hefty budget along with enough production time to give that extra polish. I imagine that funders like Aniplex, Shueisha, and Bandai Namco (ufotable does the animation for their big titles like the Tales of series) give them quite a bit of money as I can't see them being strapped for cash.
I can't see them doing this as it would be very hard to keep the talent they have doing so. Personally, I would think they'd be similar to Kyoani when it comes to QoL for its employees. Plus, looking at pictures of their offices on the "Studio Tour" section of their site it doesn't look that bad a place to work.
Man, I still feel so divided on that show even now. I definitely agree that it has problems, especially once the second half hits (they were basically making up said half as they went along), and it really loses steam at the end. And yet, I can't say I dislike the show either, as it still contains some of my all time favorite moments in anime, and I honestly think that the relationship between Hiro and Zero two is also one of my most liked pairings in anime as well.
It's probably from Ufotable actually committing tax evasion
When your best animators are also absolute gangstas.
I barely see any appeal to this show besides Zero Two, the animation, cinematography, some of the designs (particularly the mechs), and some tracks. Try to compare this show to say G Gundam. In that show, guess what happens in the end. You pretty much have "love and friendship" win the day there too, but whereas it feels completely stupid and sort of out of left field in Darling in the Franxx, in G Gundam, it feels like something you'd expect given how absolutely ridiculous that show was from pretty much beginning to end.
