Holy shit GeGeGe no Kitarou is seriously underrated. What a gem this has been so far. Some of the modern takes on older ghost/yokai stories have been great, and...jeeze, so dark at times. It's like Hell Girl only satisfying rather than bludgeoning.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

" Heh, one of my best friends worked on that (translation and localisation). Small world. If you haven't seen the movie before it or the series, you're gonna be hella lost though. PS, you may have missed this. It's actually missing my BD of Oath Under The Snow but other than that, it's about as complete a collection of Fate as you're gonna get.

Huh, so apparently there's going to be an actual anime for RWBY now. By studio Shaft no less... that alone might be reason enough for it to be worth watching. One way or another.
I think I'll give it a try. Never seen it before, but I have some friends that just kept bugging me with that series ad nauseam. Gotta check the staff first though and see if there's anyone on there I recognise. Edit: Uh-huh, yep, alright, there's names. Holy crap. The staff looks promising to say the least. Basically the entire staff that did the Monogatari franchise. I HAVE to give this a try now. I make dumb builds, therefore I am. Last edited by FCK42#0688 on Jun 24, 2022, 7:54:38 PM

hm, eh, maybe...
I mean it always had a killer seiyuu cast because they figured out that's exactly how to sell a non-anime animation to otaku. I remember when RWBY first came out -- RT were promoting it SO hard at Pax Aus in like 2013 I think. Maybe 2012. It looked cool but then we realised it was just glorified fan work. I'm glad it's somehow transcended that but I've seen better studios than Shaft take on shit I don't like and left it where it was. We'll give it a look. Probably after it's aired, because Shaft.

" Ugh, I couldn't watch this because of motion sickness... Was too much. Not sure what it was, but damn even fate didn't move like this series. Edit: Maybe it was the style... "Another...

yeah it was kinda crap really. Rough CG and poor direction. GF has just told me she doesn't care if Shinbo himself is doing it and all the cast of monogatari pitched in, she'd not watch it. She knows more about it than I do thanks to osmosis and 'the story is really shit' is her conclusion. So be it. One less thing to worry about.
Okay, let's analyse this a bit: " 1. Not Shinbo, but the guy who did...The Price of Smiles? Oh Jesus no. Fine, he's done a lot of good storyboarding and episode direction over the years, but his record as main director is extremely spotty. 2. Urobuchi also 'conceptualized' Bubble, but someone else wrote it; same case here, and Heroic Age isn't exactly Urobuchi-level stuff. 3. huke's good at least. Temper those expectations, FCK42.

" I will. My current thoughts are pretty much "If it's good, it's good, if it's bad, I wanna see how awful it can get". Morbid curiosity more or less. Knowing shaft, it'll at least be entertaining one way or another. I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

So fans are satiated, non-fans are curious, but those who expected SHAFT were left shafted, because well most of that talent left for David Pro to work on Fire Force or A-1 to make Kaguya-sama fucking amazing.
Also it was just a cursed production to begin with: it started pre-covid, back when Shaft was looking a lot healthier. One thing I did miss was the significance of huke.'s involvement: they are the original creator of Black Rock Shooter, and Monty O was explicit in his...homage to BRS with RWBY. So it is a shame he never lived to see his fan work actually get adapted by his hero. That all aside, it'd be a different story had WIT gotten their hands on it, because as we saw from Bubble, those guys really know how to do 3-D action with 2-D figures, which was Monty's original intention. The name says it all.
