Is this the biggest case of wasted potential and wasted budget we have ever witnessed?
People usually complain about low budget and bad art and animation in a lot of anime
But if the budget and the art and animation is literally all you have, I guess that even makes for a worse anime
Mumei is mine and only mine.
UBW was worse
>>140727422
>But if the budget and the art and animation is literally all you have, I guess that even makes for a worse anime
not true in this case, but even so, how is that bad?
>muh plot
eh
>>140727422
Please go and stay go.
People will seriously reply to this shitpost even though only 2 episodes are out.
>>140727422
Everyone's enjoying it so far, even /a/, so no. There are far worse disasters out there
>>140727422
But they said 50k and called it a "Blockbuster"

No, we have interesting characters and a solid plot. And a beautifully detailed steam punk aesthetic.
And that's all you really need.
>>140727728
No one said 50k, and it's fine if it drops it's been like 6 days since the episode aired.
how many episodes this show will get?
>>140727828
12 sadly :/
I hope we get introduced to onii-chan before than.
>>140727728
how i read this? pt means points?
>>140727882
The higher the rank the more it's projected to sell.
Pt's are based off of pre-orders but whats really important is consistency in the rankings
When the neckbeard hivemind on /a/ shitposts about it, you know its a good anime.
Using that metric I came upon SnK, Gundam IBO, etc.
>>140727882
you don't need to, this doesn't mean anything right now. We can get an estimation of the BD sales later (around ep 8/9). Just laugh at the one faggot who said that it's going to sell 50K because it won't.
>>140727422
I find it pretty good. So no, it's not.
Art is fantastic, music is great, VA is great, too early to judge the story yet but I like the premise.
So I don't see what the problem is.
>>140727987
>Gundam IBO
>good anime
>>140727422
>makes for a worse anime
Oh please, quit trying to sell the show short. The beautiful animation isn't even it's strongest point.
It's clear your upset at the overall positive reception even by 4chan but shit post like this aren't going to halt the shows success.
And your still going to be watching every single episode so kindly fuck off.
>>140728068
They didn't shit post about it to this extent.
>>140728048

No. Rank can spike or drop not necessarily mean anything. Sustained rank is more important.
Current Amazon Sales Rank in DVD/Bluray / Previous Sales Rank / "Stalker Points" a made up number related rank over time and intended to be an estimate of cumulative sales so far / Niconico referral sales / Show info.

If you want plot go for a more developed medium like movies or books.
>>140728076
If you hadn't realized by now, whenever something gets remotely popular, it's standard to start calling it shit preemptively so /a/ can maintain it's hipster status by pretending they hated it all alone.
Or for bait, because insulting a show with nebulous terms that are so ambiguous it isn't even clear whether you even watched the anime or not is easy (You)s
>>140727422
It's the biggest case of people making far too much drama up over a fucking seasonal action show. Why can't people just watch and enjoy this shit or not without so much baggage anymore? Makes me really miss the days of entertainment before the internet or at least the early days of the internet when you kind of had to look to find the constant unending and forced fan drama instead of it being thrust in your face constantly

It can reach 50k.
Just make some hot spring episodes. Make it uncensored on the BDs showing plenty of Mumei tits jiggling also show her ass and legs, also put plenty of Mumei feet fan service and it will sell 100k.

>>140730966
Yeah, that really bothered me.
Something something piss.
>>140730966
Amazing how they managed to do something so stupid.
>>140732202
It doesn't kill them I don't think. We haven't seen the full extent of their abilities but they may or may not be able to regenerate considering Ikoma shrugged off a bullet and a few bites, chopping off their heads probably renders them mostly harmless though.
Remember we're only two episodes in.
All those BD sales fags, nobody in WIT care about that shit, they get all the money from Amazon

They're milking everything before SnK S2.
Yes its a waste of budget but maybe the $$$ will make them produce something ORIGINAL and not SnK rip off.

>>140730966
>>140731570
>>140730990
I swear you people are literally retarded.
The only reasons Mumei is making clean cuts and beheading zombies is cause she's desensitized to them, it's heavily implied she's been doing this for a while, the biggest issues for the soliders is not shitting their pants in the wake of a kabane.
In addition she has super human strength.
Also the idea of cutting the kabane isn't something they had never thought of, they have their swords for a reason.
A commoner like Ikoma doesn't have weapons like the bushi so although there's a 99% chance he's aware they can't do shit without their heads he is better off with his pericing gun, a confirmed 1 hit kill weapon he made from a tool.
Mumei being an exception should only bother you if you're a fucking idiot who can't put two and two together.
>>140733865
>trained soldiers
>shitting their pants
>not simply slicing their heads off with their 1000x-folded katana, expressionless faces throughout
It doesn't add up, it's just poor writing, over-exaggeration of emotions at best, i.e. emotional pandering. No-Name being an "exception" is false as well, since the kabane for some reason slow down and become dumb and lethargic when fighting her, yet have no problem chasing down anyone else.
Amazon funded this right?
>>140734228
Kabane are extremely strong and fast, they'd be torn to shreds before they cut their heads off. It probably requires a lot of strength to even cut them.
>>140734228
>trained soldiers
>shitting their pants
>not simply slicing their heads off with their 1000x-folded katana, expressionless faces throughout
They're fighting something inhuman,faster and stronger than them,something they can't kill with guns and if bitten they turn into it
Don't be a retard,you're just looking for reasons to hate the show
>>140730966
Close combat means a higher risk of getting hurt and beocming a Kabane, which you probably don't want to happen smartass
>>140734748
I don't get it

It adds up perfectly most soldiers have never seen a kabaneri and lived to tell the tale.
It's not poor writing for people with inexperience sword fighting super zombies to not beat them. It just makes sense.

Don't know yet haven't gotten far enough in the show but fuck me if I expect it to come together into anything even remotely in the next couple months other than just a collection of tropes meant to make it sell shit to otaku and weaboos. If anything it's just a par for the course seasonal hype/shitposting show that we get every Spring and/or Fall.
>>140747017
This show is pretty much bait the series and the designate shitposting fake opinions show of the season. Kind of glad it's not Macross considering I'm actually quite surprisingly enjoying that one so far. Feel sorry for the people that genuinely want to enjoy this show in relative peace without the usual forum baggage that comes with being designated that one seasonal hype full throttle shitposting show though. Also fucking hilarious memes. Habenero Ohohohoho so rich.
>>140744912
/a/ is little better and threatened by pretty much anything that isn't some erotic moe weaboo fanservice thing. Both communities come across as fake as shit non-fans in their own ways that don't actually watch the shows they claim to be AOTS or whatever. You can really only take the people here so seriously even as they are shrieking at you and telling you to fuck off to the other board with the same kind of forced fake culture and tastes to it.
As for /m/ the simple rule is whatever the latest Gundam series to be released is is the worst thing ever. Cue shitposting from that starting point of how the board culture wants you to post on /m/
One of these days somebody is going to try to actually define an objective standard or criteria for what makes you an objective AOTS and I want to be there to hear it cause I'm sure it's going to be rich and oh so well thought out.

More like the entire industry. Almost all anime has a collection of tropes meant to sell stuff to otaku and weaboos, unless you're talking about something that's inherently super non-otaku (like Flowers of Evil). However, not all collections of tropes are equal, some are better than others. Which is why that's not much of a criticism. So it's a silly thing to complain about either way.
It is Thursday yet?
I heard the writer of code geass is doing this anime is it true?
>>140739875
The New Years Day scene was great.
>>140748863
Yeah, but the show is Attack on Titan with zombies and not much like Code Geass atm (other than the main character being kind of a nerd, but in a different way)
Fucking Archimedes would be able to come up with better defenses and weapons against kabane with antiquity tech than these faggots with industrial revolution junk.
>>140727422
Kinda hard to tell if an anime is bad with only two episodes out, you must be the kind of faggot who hates shows because they became popular.
>>140727422
I thought it was really good.
I'm not sure what you were expecting from this anime but it was everything I thought it would be plus good production values. That's all I can really ask for.
>>140748863
Yeah. Fortunately Kabaneri also has a much better director on board.
I am pleasantly surprised that thanks to the show being pretty good so far the threads aren't racid piles of shit and people are pretty amiable about it.
I mean, plenty of time for it to go to shit, but it's nice that the only people who are really shitposting about it are people who haven't realised that the waters are mostly empty.

Looks slightly above average but that is literally the only thing I've seen from Unicorn that looks like that. Everyone posts that one, is there anything else?
>>140750290
How do people even notice this shit? Do you just watch anime frame by frame trying to analyze every single detail that isn't perfect wallpaper status?
>>140750290
Araki doesn't abuse too much this time around so it remains rather acceptable. I have more issues with the insert songs that sound seriously out of place and giving the impression that it's trying too hard to be cool and ending up doing the opposite.
>>140750290
>everything needs to be thoroughly animated, even worthless shit
Thats the point of the budget shots, genius.. And they have not used stills for action/battle scenes yet, at least nothing involving Ikoma and Mumei.
>>140750303
The comparison is completely justified though, same director, similar premise. Unlike SnK though this looks more like a passion project they put effort in rather than some cheap cashgrab.
>>140750303
They do feel really alike though to be fair
Apart from the music and high budget art style they have the same basic setup with isolated, closed human settlements fighting off some kind difficult monstrous humanoid enemy, and a main character desperate to find a way to beat them while secretly being one, but not, all along. Eren isn't really a titan because he transforms, and our other buddy here is KABANE JA NAI.
There's nothing wrong with that though, despite what /a/ says AoT was still a really good show if a bit corny at times
>>140750394
What's the similar premise? World gone to shitter and people hiding from an outer threat in encampments? Wow, this has never been done before in the history of fiction!
>>140750341
>frame by frame
When it's literally like 5 seconds long it's not "frame by frame" anymore you daft cunt
>>140750444
there's no way to win an arguement of that type. If it's too similar to other earlier works, it's lazy, if it's something different, then 'it strays from the better works too much'.
>>140750436
I can give you the "being one of them part" but everything else is generic post-apo/zombie story done million times before.
>>140750503

Also the setting is closer to I am a Hero than SnK.
All I want is more episodes to come out. Shitty ass earthquake.

It's an example of "cut and paste bait" as I've seen that same generic hate sentence posted for other anime shows in the past. Or it might be posted by the same person who consistently uses it season after season on popular anime shows he wants to annoy people.
That type of anime hatepost is probably by someone who has a warped personality and needs to dump his emotions somewhere each day. He can't dump at work because he'd get fired. He can't dump onto his acquantances because they'd either leave him or he has no friends left to dump onto. So he comes to 4chan and dumps his hate here and enjoys watching fans of the show squirm in anger. I've seen some people like this in real life (abusive people) and I avoid them just as anyone else would.
They are toxic people in real life.
