If you liked the Bubblegum Crisis designs, I highly recommend looking through the AnimEigo settei collection (it takes a while for all the pictures to load by the way). The city drawings are wonderful, and I also like the vehicle designs, especially the AD Police ones.
The general watch order is S1 -> Movie -> S2. If you're asking for where the manga continues after the arc it's chapter 61 of 66 as of this post. This nigga does not update this manga (probably since he's too busy stalking children for "references").
are you just now getting that gege isn't a good writer
I'm honestly liking the series more and more but did anyone else notice a small annoying group of animeonly fans who where pissed that Sein is part of the main cast.
she's a booba shortstack, of course there's "art" of her. Still doesn't make it any more likely that Frieren will allow a demon to join her.
It always amazes me how much Jujutsu is the leftist meme of manga. I remember when the Shibuya arc originally happened the joke was that you had like several pages of explanation after every action scene.
Did you check out Chrono Crusade yet? Closest thing I could think of in top of my head.
MAPPA came to this level of pathology where animators have so little time to make new episodes that they need to make final corrections a few hours before broadcast on TV. There is also the situation with SnK director who didn't go home for 3 days due to the overwork. The main culprit is probably CEO of MAPPA - Manabu Otsuka. His main goal is drastic progress of MAPPA in order to be on par with big studios like KyoAni. This is why he takes all the big series without thinking about his animators. Just a reminder that production of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 took only 4 months. This is insane considering how good the movie looks. So what Manabu did afterwards? He rewarded his animators with new, even worse standard of work and NDA.
I'm sick of modern animu fights in general. Years of poor budgets, bad cinematography and choreography, and the "superpowered" nature of many show's characters has turned fights into confusing messes of scratchy animation and "3d block" environments and scribbles. I first noticed it in things like MHA, AoT, and FMA, and even studios like Madhouse do it now with Frieren. Recently, JJK has been a very blatant example of it. The environment and characters devolve into confusing messes and it all looks terrible and impossible to follow. I compare any modern animu shakey cam fight to just a minor scuffle from something like bebop.
I'm torn.
It feels like modern animations have things completely ass-backwards. Instead of involving relatively simple scenes with interesting participants, they simplify the visuals so they can make everything happen in fast-forward.
I won't be surprised if the animators are using Hollywood films as reference for a lot of action scenes. Modern Hollywood (and animators) can't grasp timing and weight in choreography, even if the actors are LARPing the fight scenes on set. You can see all that in the mess that is Rey and Kylo Ren and enemies swinging lightsabers around without a single care. (I swear there's a proper .gif of the raw footage, but I can't find it atm.)
People just like overly flashy animation so it's easier just put shit ton of particle effects rather than make weighty combat. The Fate Heaven's Feel was fucking unwatchable for me, but I saw people claiming it had the best fights in anime.
Does it make me a major hypocrite that I didn't like the fights in the Heaven's Feel movie for being incomprehensible but I still like stuff like FLCL and Dead Leaves? I think I just don't like the special effects that ufotable uses because I feel the exact same way about Heaven's Feel that I feel about Demon Slayer.
Also it might be because I'm biased, but Frieren doesn't have the same issue that something like JJK might have when it comes to fights being incomprehensible. They're flashy, yeah, but it's still completely possible to tell what's going on.
You could also see this with how End of Evangelion did its fights versus the rebuilds. The Evas had legitimate weight behind them when they attacked or carried objects and in the rebuilds, they feel almost weightless.
I don't remember those but they were way before the technology to automatically add the effects digitally, so people still needed to put in the effort. So there's still charm in craziness that way.
