Fuck off normal faggots shiteaters.
Not anime.
>>143874461
The taiwanese side actually funded 51% of the project, the other half is mostly Nitroplus and Good smile.
PILI offered him a collaboration after he went to Taiwan and some newspaper reported that he loved the PILI shows.

Can anyone give the fine details about the story? All I could really piece together was that bad guys are chasing after the girl for some reason, and umbrella dude and vape man are good guys?
>>143875168
All they rely on established standards and one type of animation of ugly CGI, and nobody dare to try something unconventional. Thanks god for Urobuchi and this.
Anime finally properly saved!
>>143875134
It's very normalfag tier in Taiwan though, something like Sazae-san.
It used to get 98% ratings at one point, effectively halting all economic activity.
>>143875295
It's about sword that main heroine and her brother should to protect. Villains wants to steal it.
>>143875295
Villain wants to get a legendary sword that once used to defeat demons, the sword protectors are the two siblings and the sword is actually split between them, bad guy gets the hilt from the brother now he's after Dan fei.
Vape guy is described as cunning and manipulative, he's probably up to no good but he's helping the girl go after the bad guy, they'll meet many allies along the way which they'll most likely get butchered.
Also bad guy is actually a necromancer.
>>143871431
>The birth of all things is but the prelude to their deaths. Follow me and die for my works in glory; oppose me and die by my sword in ignominy: before the cold steel of my blade the world is but two paths.

>>143868225
>>143876008
Correction:
>The birth of all things is but the prelude to their deaths. Submit and die as my strength in glory; oppose and die by my sword in ignominy: before the cold steel of my blade the world is but two paths.
Basically, "Die either way."
The puppets look nothing like the animu designs.
>>143875295
>Can anyone give the fine details about the story? All I could really piece together was that bad guys are chasing after the girl for some reason, and umbrella dude and vape man are good guys?
There was once a war between humans and demons, and humans won through crafting legendary weapons. They are fighting over one of those weapons wight now, and the key is that the weapon needs both the sword and its scabbard together to have its full power. One major element upcoming is that they will need the help of a female demonlord if they were to have a chance against the main badguy.

>>143871431
Note that the Japanese translation takes twice as long to pronounce. This must be what Butcher meant by saying the Japanese voice actors have a hard time; they had to speak faster than usual because the mouthflaps are in Taiwanese.
This caused the opposite problem with the Hellsing Ultimate English dub, where they had to extend dialogue just to give enough lines to match the mouthflaps. It seems Japanese is just a very long-winding language.
I can't find it on Crunchy. Not that I have an account but anime sites should be ripping it right?

And Aniplex like every other designed to be popular thing though by the looks of it they didn't even kick in enough to get a proper listing under the home pages production committee list and are probably just responsible for another bland Sawano soundtrack and Japanese distribution.
>>143876008
Sounds Urobuchi edgy as all fuck . At this point I'm fully convinced he doesn't actually have some sort of philosophical insight on anything in particular and just likes writing chuuni shit about shit from his childhood and how bitter everything is. He's an emotional kid trapped in a man's body
>>143877923
>Wuxia puppet show with Urobutcher involved. Join us for the ride, anon.
It is well known in Taiwan that they don't hesitate to brutally kill characters. Though the TV series franchise had been going on so long that they end up similar to Western Comics, in that most major characters have died and resurrected at least once if not multiple times, and half the time when a supposed new character show up it tend to be an old character back with a new identity.
>>143878310
>Sounds Urobuchi edgy as all fuck .
It's just that with Pilli, there is no attempt to hide villains as being bad. The Pilli universe is basically lawless, so anyone sufficiently evil and powerful has no reason to pretend to be nice.
>>143877908
It's still unknown when is Crunchy going to put the episode on their site.
>>143878479
>It's still unknown when is Crunchy going to put the episode on their site.
Yeah, there isn't a simcast deal and no official release date for them yet.
>>143878520
It is likely that they hesitated to pick it up until recently, so they haven't got all the affairs in order to stream it.
>>143873319
If you're going to hate on Sawano like usual, at least get your math right. If you're counting Kabaneri's first OST only, it had 16 tracks not 13. Mika Kobayashi only gets 1, maybe 2 songs in a show's OSTs, obviously not every track will be her singing.

They need to sell it in Japan, so Japanese VA is important. But note that the show was filmed in Taiwanese first and then redubbed.

>>143881209
>Hell, maybe Berserk would look better if it was a literal puppet show too
That would actually work. At least the gore wouldn't need to be censored. The Berserk universe really isn't that different from the Pilli universe, except that they are more Western themed.

I'm still not convinced it will sell, I can't see otaku accepting puppets over 2d waifus/husbandos.
>>143883723
Urobuchi + Sawano + Aniplex is guaranteed sales. There's nothing "nice" about it it's just what happens. Guaranteed 6-7K minimum. 20K and up not out of the question if it fully taps the Urobuchi fanboys

Shit's so cheesy I can't even tell if it's not on purpose.
It is amusing that so many people predicted that the elder brother character wouldn't survive to the Opening sequence. The only question is if the girl would survive to the end? It would be very Butcher if the only way to beat the antagonist is to kill the girl.
>>143870472
Looks like AOTS, going to call it now.
This show
Why is the camera moving so fast?
The protagonist Rinsetsua is SUCH a dick. I could see why the demoness would have a massive problem with him. I have trouble calling him a good guy as of the end of the episode. He is a little too arrogant. Shoufukan is just being used here.

>>143887241
>culture of one province never got big and modernized =/= destroyed in culture revolution
It seems you are ignoring the fact that the Cultural Revolution literally burned the hardware for puppetry and burned down theatres. The Revolution deliberately identified old cultural items and crafts, burned them down, and beat up the old men who used to create them. People got lynched. The fact that China doesn't want to talk about it is not an excuse to pretend you don't know what actually happened.
>>143887294
>I just watched this and have no idea who any of those are.
Rinsetsua is the guy with the pipe sitting under the tree all episode. Shoufukan is the foreigner who borrowed the umbrella from the statue.
This is like one of those live action kung-fu movies with infinity swords and heavely shields I used to watch.
>>143887462
The guy with the pipe is the protagonist?
Do you mean that he joins the girl and the traveler or that he's main protagonist?
>>143887462
His pipe was pimp as fuck.
>>143887512
>The guy with the pipe is the protagonist?
>Do you mean that he joins the girl and the traveler or that he's main protagonist
There are obviously two protagonists. Pipe Guy is the on who has top billing in the official website, the umbrella dude come second.
>>143887390
It seems you are ignoring the fact that the puppet 'industry' is originated from that province(what's the name again?) on the other side of Taiwan and never really cared to publicize it to the rest of the country/world. Since it's casted in local dialect and the audience prefer it stay that way.

That's because they used the Taiwanese pronunciation. The Japanese version is slightly easier to pronounce.
I need a webm of the decapitation scene.
>>143887265
It's in Taiwanese, in Pili shows when a new character is introduced they would sing a song/poem encapsulating their character and role in the story.
Urobuchi decided to leave it in Taiwanese, because it sounds better.

Urobuchi's fantasy works are the most obscure, practically no one has read them. There is Hakubou no Dendoushi which is about a dark elf who worships chaos who ends up helping a half-elf girl get her revenge.
The other one is a serialized LN with Yun Kouga, it's sort of inspired by the time they used to play monster hunter. It's about 2 guys bonding together and doing fun quests.

Serious. "I can't believe you actually did a good deed over an umbrella. Maybe you are not as much of a thug as you look" is just damn insulting.

I can't stop laughing at this pic.

It is telling that the elder brother was going to die, since his puppet wasn't in the background here.
>These subs
For fucks sake
>>143888525
what if they were more stacked?
>>143886828
That editing gave me a headache, it reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCKhktcbfQM. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it that fast to cover up flaws in the animation though.
So which puppet would you?
Are the spoken names different to the Taiwanese written in the subs? I don't know enough about Taiwanese to know how it should be pronounced even when romanized but the audio doesn't seem to match. If so I wish the subbers would put the Japanese names in the subs so I can actually parse it.
>>143889667
>For fucks sake
They REALLY should use the Japanese names. Even the Japanese website list both names together.
What the siblings were, ごいんし (Goinshi) is SO much easier to write in English than the Chinese equivalent. They are from the Shinkai Makai realm. Trying to pronounce 神誨魔械 in Chinese using English is just a massive headache.
Qiong Mu Zhi Zhan is just the name of the demon war that ended a long time ago. Calling it "きゅうぼ War" would have been more meaningful.

Dolls and Paper all come from wood, so a doll is as valid as a cel.

>Are the spoken names different to the Taiwanese written in the subs?
There are two names for everything; the Chinese/Taiwanese and the Japanese. It would be wise to use the Japanese versions of the names as that is what the Japanese dub uses, and they are much more easier to read.
Here are some links to how they are pronounced:

Reminder that puppets not be8ng anime is Herk's and Daiz's newest meme. The show got moved to live action in nyaa for no reason, other than Daiz and his cartel being salty and trying to force a meme
>>143890077
Thanks, it seems a bit stupid that CR wrote the names in Chinese instead of Japanese considering who their audience is. I guess I'll just have to listen to the audio to work out who's being talked about.
>Full 3D animation
>Looks like crap
>Taiwanese puppets
>Looks amazing
What the fuck happened?

Because puppet shit is not animation

Lǐn Xuě Yā is his Chinese name.
Umbrella Dude is Shoufukan
His Chinese name is Shāng Bù Huàn
Betsutengai is the main villain.
His Chinese name is Miè Tiān Há

how is it anime

or maybe because it's not animation, you know things don't have to be anime to be good, right?

To the Daiz pasta now.

Animation isn't limited to what you like, retard
Tell me, where were the human actors in here?
Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are live action. Thunderbolt Fantasy is ANIMATED puppets

Betsutengai best puppet and best boy.

Because puppetry and practical effects actually take artistry and great technical skill, and you can suspend your disbelief because it still looks "real". 3DCG takes no skill to outsource to some Chink factory to churn out and will always look shit.
It's funny this is not uploaded in any unofficial streaming site

It is, just no Western ones.

>off topic shit should be allowed because le butcher
Nope, kamen shit gaim is not allowed so puppet gay shit shouldnt either. Anything that is not 2D drawings or 3DCG is NOT animation, simple as that.
>>143890592
If it uses puppets? Sure. Animation is a broader term than you think
>>143886225
He had no involvement with the anime. What were you smoking? He only came up with the world design for the game.
>>143890692
Haven't watched it so I don't know if it's actually animated every frame of movement (and I kinda doubt it) but you don't know what animation means so you should probably shut the fuck up
Also CG is cancer
>>143890370
This show's production is more like toku than it is anime. The puppets are being operated by humans that you don't see, in the same way that people in kaijin or mech suits are in toku. In fact the only reason I heard of this show is because a certain sub group said that it's "basically toku". I still think it's /a/ material though since every other aspect of the show is anime as fuck.
>>143890692
You don't get to decide what's animation, retard
So is this a series in Taiwan? or is this a single thing?
>>143890732
Yeah, 'animation'. Not anime.
>>143890783
In toku, you still get to see the main heroes outside the suits and the various secondaries clearly played by actors, though. Not a single actual human in sight in TF, however
Would you also consider the clay animation in SZS as live action?
>>143890634
Her clothes are enormous.
>>143890824
There's a long-running puppet series in Taiwan, but this is a separate story.
>>143890886
Anime just means asian animation, retard
If we're going full purist, why don't we ban full CGshit shows like Ajin as well?
>>143891139
Is it subbed? I'd watch the fuck outta it.
>>143891153
>asian animation
Japanese
>why don't we ban full CGshit like Ajin
Because that's Japanese animation as well. Also, I seem to recall you saying that animation is a broad term, no?
The butcher does it again, saving anime with the power of puppets. Puppetcore anime will become the new norm.
