Keroro's 8th ED is a lightspeed tour through the Sunrise studio during the production of Keroro! The song is pretty sweet too since it's a big tribute to the animators. It would have been amazing to be able to go to this building when it was still open and set foot in the place where arguably the best anime series ever were made.
 
LOL good luck. Didn't Renai Daikō get cancelled after four volumes? Plus even Japanese Twitter is calling this guy a retard today. Fucking up Kaguya and Oshi No Ko might have just soiled this retard's reputation. He can make a decent enough dough, but he'll burn the fucking pizza.
Renai Daiko may actually be his best ending, ironically enough, if only because he actually had to wrap it up in a timely fashion. I didn't waste much time reading it. It's so over for him though, there's no way I ever trust him to stick the landing again. It's just not worth wasting time on when there are so many other things I'm reading that I know have already ended well, or I have reasonable confidence will end well. It sucks, Aka does write some intriguing premises, but it really doesn't matter how good the ingredients of my chicken pot pie are of you scorched the bottom.
 
So Dandadan Episode 7 hits like a fuckin' truck. I even knew it was coming and honestly the Anime did it about as perfect as you could and then added some more perfection on top of it.
 
Anyway David Wald quit his role in Fairy Tail as well as leaving Crunchyroll all together. No idea if his career will take a hit but because fag probably not

It was more raw than the manga for the most part but I really was missing this panel

I imagine it's related to what can be shoen on television but that captures the raw emotion and impact of it all.
 
That's okay. I'll just use translate it using a translation tool. My problem is that I'm barely on twitter so I have no idea how to find anything in the first place.
That's very fair.

Unfortunately, I have failed you. I was good enough to find it yesterday, but I don't know what hashtag they were using, and when I sort by latest twitter's only giving me them talking about the most recent episode and questioning if it got censored or not. I should have posted some yesterday, you have my apologies.

I agree, gotta hate what I can only presume is censorship.

Alas, there is a growing amount of people who call themselves “anime fans” who have the same syndrome that a lot of “gamers” have which makes them consider the prestige TV format to be the pinnacle of storytelling, and something that should be emulated by makers of anime or videogames to tell a good story. According to these people, anime and games will only be art if they completely ape other mediums and disregard what makes them unique. The height of artistic endeavor is some stupid HBO Max slop.

I've already seen people think she bled out in the street and the dance was just a metaphore. I think they could have used the striking image of the panel without showing much of the background and gotten away with it.

Aside from that, also felt it went a bit too long. The thing I like of Dandadan's flashbacks is they are very focused and somber, no dialogue and no sound effects for the most part. I do think the anime pulled it off for the most part but could have cut a minute or two (and was also really missing the final image that confirmed that silky's soul was saved).

The "X is art" people should be rounded up and shot. Faggots pursuing asspats from assholes, that have active contempt for the medium, by bending it to be more like what the assholes like... and never understanding how that kills the appeal of it because it's precisely NOT what the assholes want.

I dunno if it's worse, it raises the question of why the woman didn't look for her daughter some more before doing a swan dive (unless that is shown and as horrific as what irl Yakuza do to children).

The flashback itself was beautifully animated and horrific, but it is a tad too melodramatic.

I don't recall how it happens completely in the Manga (its been about a year since I read it), but I think its implied pretty heavily the daughter is trafficked or murdered. I think this is backed up by Aira's wish that they both find a better, kinder world.

Satoshi Kon would've been extremely critical of these faggots had he not died young.
 
Found a secret Fukuda OP:
By the way, were the mobile suit names added to the SEED OPs in the remaster, or were they always there?

The funny thing is that all anime is "art" because art is anything that doesn't naturally occur (hence ARTificial). Grendizer U is art. Mars of Destruction is art. Genma Wars: Eve of Mythology is art. Dragonaut is art. Most anime that try to be deep, meaningful, and mature fail because most anime writing was never that high quality (if it was, those stories would have become novels), so it comes across as pseudointellectual, and it's not fun or cool anymore. Ironically, the anime that many people lambast as especially low-quality, like SEED Destiny and G-Reco, are the smartest anime out there because they aren't pretentious and they offer interesting things to think about and discuss.

Here you have the chapter itself


It's a quick read. But for the most part, the manga is just a lot clearer.

For example, in the anime the first person shot of her running in absolute desperation is fantastic as a way to generate tension, but it's so blurred that you don't notice she is actually pursuing a specific car, till she trips and loses all momentum and then proceeds to go up a building and do her final dance. Why did she not try harder or go to the police or whatever? From the manga's perspective this is a lot more dramatic of course, from a "true life" perspective, I could perfectly see how a failed dancer turned prostitute that ended up having a daughter, that was her only sunshine, and her getting kidnapped being her breaking point and just assuming nobody would help her.

The anime on the other hand kind of makes searching for help not much of an option, they really did emphasize that her arm was cute in a very nasty way that would have cut a main artery, with that wound, she was going to bleed out in minutes no matter what she did. That's why it also feels a lot more raw, if you peek at the next chapter, when Aira grabs Silky, she's already wearing the red dress, she isn't a bloody mess like just when she died. I do agree with you that the anime I think was a bit too melodramatic, a bit more short and sweet would have been better, that and have the credits be silent if you are going to end on that, since Turbo Granny ED was some savage whiplash

I don't recall how it happens completely in the Manga (its been about a year since I read it), but I think its implied pretty heavily the daughter is trafficked or murdered. I think this is backed up by Aira's wish that they both find a better, kinder world.
You can go as dark as you want, but the image that you mention

Makes it crystal clear that there was no happy ending for that little girl till after death.
