I’m glad I was wrong about no game characters appearing, but I hope they don’t adapt the game plot in the slightest and make Nemona a rival or do something else with her altogether. Really excited to see how they handle this. If this is a battle episode, I couldn’t have asked for a better staff...
It still feels so unreal to me that this is Ash's final episode and we're getting a brand new anime. I've been waiting for this day since I was 8 and never thought it would really happen, but here it is. May it be a good one!
Personal opinions aside, wouldn’t it make more sense for the OLM in-house team, which will likely include some staff from the first ever episode, to handle the last episode of their show?
Don't get me wrong, his ICY design was incredibly clean and my favourite Ash design (excluding JN132), but it still had that dated and stiff feel that most Ash designs suffer from. Secrets of the Jungle was up there as well but something about the face puts me off. I would like if they went in a...
Staff lists look average so far, with this one likely being the most underwhelming in the visual department. Hoping for a part 4 where they go all out.
Very interesting interview providing some insight on the industry and its conditions from anime director Sumito Sasaki, who has directed a few JN episodes (102, 110, 120). I strongly recommend reading as it is relevant to the current production issues faced by JN and doesn't hold back. Also...
Oh no, it's not anyone here. I don't want to say any names but it's a certain twitter user who frequently posts flamebait and misinformation/exaggerations for interactions. Should be obvious enough based on that description.
EDIT: It rhymes with LootLonthly
It just doesn't sit right with me that yesterday the person who incited this mess referred to her as an "Ash vs Drasna animator" knowing how the community feels about that episode to create the narrative of "crappy animator can't take criticism" and now has shifted the narrative to "poor...
Funny how everyone pulled a 180 from blaming Tomiyasu for all their problems to sympathizing with the staff. Also funny that people needed official confirmation for the obvious.
What isn't funny is how one twitter account has the power to influence the opinion of the entire community and...
Y'all are going off of the assumption that Covid is what caused the production issues when they were apparent long before it hit. Apparently one of the animation directors of the first episode of JN said the ep needed three ADs because of scheduling issues. The third ep had 6 ADs but I don't see...
And if it didn't? Ash would look mad goofy sending out a sleeping Dragonite to get its cheeks clapped instantly. Literally nothing would change. People would still complain and Ash would look just as stupid.
He's still winning this lol
Hopefully the staff take the current situation into account when planning the SV anime and we don't end up with another series like JN with huge ambitions without the means to execute them. It'll probably look like your average weekly anime if a miracle doesn't happen.
But they do, that's the thing. Most of Komi's episodes were outsourced apparently and Summer Time Rendering also has a similar issue with outsourcing as well as underwhelming animation outside of a select few key moments for a seasonal.
For the past two series, Pokemon has been lucky enough to...
