>>138911602
She's LOCK-ON SHOUJO!
>lame MC dude
Save your shitty assumptions until it airs retard.
>>138911602
OP girl
Most of the reactions are good, but is there any bad impression so far?
Mumei best girl
>>138913216
Yes, from people who reasonably post rather then hyping this up nonstop, especially the event in episode 3 that made everyone scream VVV.
>>138914853
What kind of event?
>>138914853
From what I read the story barely started in the prescreening and episode 3 ends with a cliffhanger. The valvrave comparison is due to some characterd beîng infected and displaying powers related to the zombies (regeneration I think)
It's either going to be the best anime of the year or complete shit.
>>138908509
Sounds perfect for mature people who watches mature anime, I can already see every 13 years old claiming this is AOTY.
Literally a trainwreck.
Sounds like we'll get fun threads from this. Can't wait.
>>138908509
>I wonder how many people died to animate this
>>138915392
>>138915084
That's not in.
It's called VVVbecause what do "zombies" feed with? And what do you think happened with Haruto and Saki?
>>138919844
Are they zombie rapist or what
>>138921269
Hot as lava
>>138911845
>LOCK-ON
Should we prepare a funeral?
>>138922303
>>138911845
It's not LOCK-ON SHOUJO, it's 六根清浄 (ROKKON SHOUJOU).
>>138921269Kabaneri are people who are bitten by Kanbane but didn't turned. Kanbane's main energy source is blood. In PV3, you see Ayame stabbing Ikoma, but this is as they were going to board the train, and Ayame trying to ease the passengers' fear. At the end of episode 3 though, Ikoma is trying to "feed" off Ayame, hence the VVV comparison.
>>138918911
Even the japs themselves are afraid.
>>138922784
So wait the MC becomes a kanbane?
I bet main girl will be really cool, but she'll be too cool so she'll die so MC can avenge her
Screencap this post
>>138923286Yes, Mumei is already one which is why she's OP as fuck despite being 12 years old.
>>138922784
So it is going to be VVV with ERUERUFU + Saki as MCs?
>>138923326
That's neatI wonder from who he'll get his blood from
>>138923326
>>138923392
Oh god
This is going to be a LITERAL trainwreck
>>138923392
Male MC seems way too impulsive and hot-blooded for that comparison.
>>138923392
There's no strategist in this though, also "Saki" is not the MC. Mumei's the main along with Ikoma, which is why Ayame and Ikoma's position's just as good parallel to Saki and Haruto.
>>138923399
That's why people really want to see Episode 4 to see where the direction is going, Episode 3 ended with that cliffhanger. Episode 1 and 2 are just fast pacing with lots of fights.
>>138913216
It's all Aniplex controlled publicity so I doubt there will be
>>138923620
>Episode 1 and 2 are just fast pacing with lots of fights.
Awesome.
I really hope Araki make an actually good anime this time, I always like his action directing but he fucks over schedules easily and then there's the shit sources or writters
>>138908509
OP/Ed not fitting the show barely surprises me considering it was forced on it by Sony as a sponsor.
>>138923748
Aniplex is not involved as far as i know.
>>138923765
>>then there's the shit sources or writers
I don't think he's going for DEEP STORY in this one, just action flick with zombies/ghouls, so this might just work out. Frankly, I'll be watching this for Mikimoto girls (Araki went through great lengths to enlist him).
>2016
>watching supernatural soap opera
Oh well, if it works for Gundam knockoffs I guess it works for AoT clones.
>>138924289
AoT itself was a clone
>>138924839
AoT is the best anime of all time.
>>138925026
The fact that anybody is comparing things in this to Valvrave is not making me feel better
>>138925243
VVV season 1 was great though.
>>138925243
VVV was enjoyable as fuck. If this is half as fun as that trainwreck, then we have a keeper on our hands.
>>138924031
>Araki went through great lengths to enlist him
Mikimoto retired a long time ago right? Not sure about that though.
How was he able to get him?
>>138925243
The only thing that may see comparable is the Kabaneri deal, it may not be hard for the show to end up being better than VVV. Still it won't stop me from feeling a bit cautious about the storytelling.
>>138925404
>>138925281
But it was enjoyable in the way you would enjoy something you knew was shit and watched for fun, not actually good
>>138925619
Because of G-Reco.
>>138925920
Explain
>>138925243
Valvrave was hilarious to watch and had good action
>>138925894
It's a lot better than people give it credit for.
Yall can't put up with gothic horror without calling it trainwreck, face it.
>>138924031
Yeah I'm not expecting DEEP but a tight script with interesting characters would be a plus.
The PV is promising on that front anyway.
>>138926004
>It's a lot better than people give it credit for.
Maybe the first season is
There is nothing that was enjoyable about the first season in the second
>>138925619
According to the interview (Mikimoto's), Araki basically visited Mikimoto bringing a ton of Mikimoto's past artbook/chara design/etc. with him, some of which Mikimoto himself doesn't even remember. Mikimoto thought he won't get involved with another project anymore, but he was touched by this.
From Araki's interview, they wanted Mikimoto but even the producers went, "is he gonna accept though?" Once Mikimoto did, the project was able to pick up pace.
>>138925894
>watched for fun
As opposed to watching for what?
I watch anime primarily for entertainment, and at that, Valvrave excelled.

>>138913216
>Most of the reactions are good
/a/, and 4chan in general lately have had this weird Kafka trap going on.
1. You must admit the show you like is bad. It doesn't matter if you enjoy it, you must concede if someone else doesn't like it. Just because you like a show doesn't make it good. If another person doesn't like a show, that makes it bad, and if you enjoy the show, you must admit it's a bad show. There is nothing wrong with you liking a show, but you absolutely have to admit it's a bad show, just since another person doesn't like it.
2. Once they have you trapped in that one, they pull out the other trap. "Liking show ironically." Now if you do like a show that's bad (And again remember from the first condition if even one person, just one says they don't like the show, it means the show is bad, no you can't defend the show or ask why it's bad, you can only concede that you like a bad show), you can like the show "ironically." Since the show is bad, you can like the show because of how bad it is, and it turns around and becomes "so bad it's good." And of course, even though this is the only way allowed to like a show, it's considered a inferior way to enjoy a show, and anyone you likes a show ironically can have their opinion dismissed. Even though the first condition forces Everyone into thinking they can only like a show ironically.
Frankly I think it's all bullshit, and people should just like what they want to like.

Not him but I didn't like the mecha, they were too complex for the sake of looking impressive. It's like they wanted to make something unique by adding features everywhere and the final result is a clusterfuck of unorganized ideas. Plus the CG wasn't great and the fights were not impressive. Almost no choregraphy and no weight. Shooting thousands of CG particles or making a mecha rush at light speed while facing a hundred enemies isn"t a good fight.
>>138926818
>the CG wasn't great and the fights were not impressive. Almost no choregraphy and no weight
I thought we where talking about VVV not Majestic Prince
>>138926818
Could you perhaps be less vague in your criticisms?
>>138926892
Takes me back to 2013 back when VVVfags still existed and weren't considered complete jokes much like they show.
I like any show made by WIT Studio, not because of the show itself but because the threads are absolute gold. I don't know what they did but they have so many haters on /a/
>>138926892
I didn't watch Majestic Prince.

>HURRR DURRR WHY THEY HATIN'
>>138926504
Not the guy you're responding to, but with my very shitty and broken Japanese. Araki said he learned a lot from working on G-Reco. Tomino chided him for some scenes where it's extremely annoying to have trees and shit, then Araki kinda just took shortcuts and moved the Mecha scene to flat ground. Araki tends to direct scenes such that staging fits the play, which makes some [of the scenes] feel unnatural. With Kanbaneri, the same thing happened, but there are way less freedom on what he can change, so he has to go back and forth with "people up top" (animators?) on what he can put [of the play] in certain situations (I am not certain if this part is referring to the characters inside or actually in the work place).
Then some more blah blah and Araki finds Tomino's shadow in his work.
>>138927030
I don't. I liked both and even enjoyed Majestic much more than VVV.
But VVV had much better action and designs. Deal with it.
>>138927284

Not even fucking Toei does that. The last time we got a studio that didn't finish an episode on time we got this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhmBnaEcbfA
The AoT anime was a production nightmare and they admit it and what's worse is that they still have not fucking changed their ways given how shitty Rolling Girls and Seraph looked.
>>138927122
Everytime you bring up shit production values you always use that AoT gif. Don't you have any other proof?

>>138927642
Wew lad
>>138927626
Don't I have any other proof he says...
The purple bricks are the most infamous example but there are a lot of instances of cut corners and shit animation in the anime.
>>138927603
You're delusional if you think WIT is the only studio that has done low budget shit. I don't know how bad SnK's TV run was, but every studio has done at least 1 show that's absolute shit with shit production values, which is the reason you're giving for WIT's massive hate
>>138927787
Rolling Girls was also a disaster and some animators were complaining on twitter about it.
>>138927787
>low budget
The AoT anime had a high budget dumbfuck, the highest budget of any TV anime that came out that year and it was among the worst looking.
>>138924006
Music production/publishing and probably publishing the BD's too as is usual for noitaminA stuff now. It's at their booth on AnimeJapan but I can't find anything about them on the main website. The soundtrack is listed at Aniplex Plus though.
>>138924289
Araki cited First Gundam as a major inspiration for doing this but frankly I don't see it. I think he just has manlove for Tomino and wants him to accept him but he never well cause he's old and crotchety.
>>138927853
>>138927899
Okay, shitters
ANSWER MY QUESTION
Every studio has done shit that looks like shit. Do they deserve massive hate too?
What makes WIT different?
>>138927787
>low budget
>NOT FINISHING THE FUCKING EPISODE ON TIME is the same as a low budget episode
Also budget as shit to do with anything. OPM had a average budget yet was able to look as good as it did because of good management and passion.
>>138927787
The only thing comparable to SnK for piss-poor production on a huge budget is SEED.
>>138927282
>Tomino chided him for some scenes where it's extremely annoying to have trees and shit, then Araki kinda just took shortcuts and moved the Mecha scene to flat ground.
Funny, because the whole episode is in the middle of a jungle, with mecha wrecking trees and shit.
And even the last battle happens in the middle of trees and rocks.
>>138927998
Maybe if Araki directed Valvrave instead of Matsuo, I could see it.
>>138927998
Tomino praised Araki's skills citing he was wasting his talents working on something like AoT which upset ANN.
>>138927282
>Then some more blah blah and Araki finds Tomino's shadow in his work.
What does this mean?

They are commonly know for having production problems.
>>138928029
>WIT is shit because they have piss poor management and inconsistent animation
>S-s-s-s-s-so! What about the other studios!? Stop making fun of WIT
>>138927008
>>138928029
WIT shows regularly have drastic drop-offs in production quality, not to mention that they've mostly had poor content too.
>>138927282
We could all use a grumpy father figure like Tomino. I bet he imagines him standing over him looking upon his storyboards disapprovingly as he burns the midnight oil saying things like he should write his own song lyrics too and that he needs to pay more attention to the weight of movement and stuff like that.

I didn't want to translate it the whole thing so I got lazy. It basically is just Araki having an inner monologue going, "is this really okay Tominio-san?" But, once you did it you would understand why. At the end, when he comes to a conclusion and decided on what to do, he feels like this is something Tomino would do.

From the numbers I can gather Kabaneri has sold between 7,500 and 8,000 tickets for the prescreening. Is this any good? From what I can find on the official website only 10 theaters are doing the prescreenings.
>Sound Director: Masafumi Mima
Oh man. At the very least the sound will be on point.
Did anyone even expect anything other than a possibly well animated action show? As long as it manages to do that and doesn't veer off into the DRAMA territory or something then it'll be all fine.

>>138936075
>>It's either gonna sell well or SUPER well
>Looking that good huh
The story has to go off the cliff if it goes lower than 6K
>>138928594
And yet they're one of modern anime fans most treasured studios so what does that say about the fanbase tastes lately.
>>138935490
Considering Guilty Crown never really ended up being that huge a seller (Just under 8K I believe) and that was in 2011 when the BD market was still kind to originals and anime in general I'd sooner bet on the former unless it actually ends up decently written god forbid. I expect the music sales to carry this show for now.
