Amazing animation in Garfiel’s fight. So happy with how this arc’s going. Honestly, it’s going way faster than I expected after reading the novels.

This anime’s honestly so much better than it should be, given its premise. Now that we’re past episode 9, I suppose we’ll be approaching the end of the season. I’m glad the manga’s still ongoing so I can look forward to a season 2 c:

The youtube channel would first need to be willing to take Nintendo to court.

That’s quite literally the point of a union. To hold that company’s production hostage in order to level the playing field with those who otherwise are holding livelihoods, futures, and survival hostage.

Oooo I like this, thank you

I’d have to imagine it would.

If you post something to the public internet it will be indexed.

I’ve been so surprised by this show haha

Episode 1 was just twist after twist, and now there seems to be, what, a magical girl or something?

Why’s there so many different supernaturals intersecting? Is that going to be a major plot-point? Feels like a definite chekov’s gun.

Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Goodbye Adobe Acrobat Reader, v1 Nintendo Switches, all home PCs, Android phones, and web browsers,

If you do, I’d be interested to hear results. Deluge’s plugins are nice and it’s easy to make your own. If it wasn’t for the performance issues, I’d likely still be there.

As an aside, is that a traditionally animated dance scene in a pokemon show? I would not have expected such nice animation coming from pokemon.

Ya, Pokemon XY/XYZ had a whole bunch of really great animation, making great use of both traditional and CG animation. One particular change is that, while in Best Wishes, they used generic backdrops to indicate motion during attacks, like so:

Come XY/XYZ they used fully rendered 3D backdrops during attacks, with complex battle choreography and a consistent, full field of view as the Pokemon navigate the entire arena during attacks,. They also make a lot of use of depth and motion in the action sequences, and even 360 degree shots.

After XYZ, Pokemon Sun and Moon completely changed the art direction to be a much less modeled, restricted one. XY/XYZ was one last big hurrah for the traditional style of Ash Ketchum and Pokemon anime that we all grew up with, and the animators delivered quality in spades. It’s by far the best animated of that traditional style.

Also thanks for the note about the footnotes thing. I never use the apps, so didn’t know that they don’t handle the markdown properly.

Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I’m on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.

Granted, I’ve not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I’d love to be corrected if so.

IMO, CG’s great in backgrounds^[1], and in helping compose a shot by applying to non-human set-pieces^[2]. It can also be good for living things like kaiju and mechs^[3].

It’s generally bad form to apply to humans though unless heavily stylized for it^[4].

An exception to this is a show like Land of the Lustrous in which the people are made of minerals, and thus it makes sense for their bodies to appear more rigid and uncanny. It’s also the only reasonable way they could have gotten their hair to be consistently iradescent throughout the entire runtime of the series.^[5]

I think .ml’s fine for certain types of communities.

It’s simply that their perception of anime and sexualization therewithin is at odds with the anime community’s perception of sexualization. I think there’s some merit - the anime community is host to a lot of people and art that I’m morally opposed to myself, I simply believe that .ml’s looking at the benign and edgy and painting it with the same brush as the abhorrent and gross.

Just my 2 cents on the matter ^^

uTorrent doesn’t play well in the landscape of the modern bittorrent protocol. It’s also adware, infringes upon your privacy, and is a malware risk.

qBittorrent is my client of choice, but other popular and great clients are Deluge (only up to ~500 torrents), transmission, and rtorrent (on Linux). There’s other clients as well but YMMV, especially if you do any private tracker usage.

Turns out I’d forgotten to sub to this community, even after I’d added it to the sidebar of anime.ml. The two remaining moderators there are pretty inactive so it’s right of those admins to be looking for new volunteers. Sorry that this ends up impacting everyone else; I tried to stay out of the drama myself, but I wasn’t willing to moderate the way they wanted me to.

The fact that we can have a different community to use is one of the beautiful things about the fediverse, and why I personally believe so strongly in it. I

Anyways, I hope everyone finds this community just fine, and I look forward to many discussions and to talking about anime over here.

I will no longer be moderating this community. Please use !anime@ani.social.

If we rig the jury to all be Silicon Valley investors and CEOs, you just have to say “AI” and you’ll win the case.

So far, my list is looking like:

Sasaki and Peeps
Tis Time For “Torture,” Princess
Delicious in Dungeon
Solo Leveling
Gushing Over Magical Girls
Mr Villain’s Day Off
7th Time Loop
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered
Fluffy Paradise

I’ll probably also watch, at the minimum:

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp
Metallic Rouge
Urusei Yatsura S2
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer
Tales of Wedding Rings
A Sign of Affection
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (just need to finish S1 first)
