Definitely and it is a shonen after all. I just think these are missed opportunities to make things more authentic. I mean you could do a whole one arm swordsman thing. I'm sure people with actual disabilities are like wth? But again it's a shonen anime.

A mark is what put Gyokko on his ass real quick

this could be a really powerful story if she had an actual disability that wasn't, yes you heard it right "too strong". Oh the horror of having unusual muscle mass. Come on now

I can overlook a lot of animation problems if the story is decent, but I cant support 4 episodes after 5 years.

This reminds me of "Do a Powerbomb". I would love to see this book animated.

it was!

Im curious to what extent he was involved with Scavengers Reign because from a quality standpoint and despite c-suite ratf**ing, it was a decent success (I personally loved it). It could have theoretically put a check in the win column for him, but I doubt Zaslav knows it exists.

This just sucks all around. At the end of the day, the fans are the ones getting screwed. CEOs and Shareholders are making cutthroat financial decisions and people lower down in the pecking order are left to pick up the pieces. Often times it is a no win situation for the people on the creative side. Your project gets shuttered completely along with all the work that went with it or you find a way to limp to the finish line. Having said that, it is hard to reconcile the doublespeak from Demarco. I mean at what point should you recognize potential problems on the horizon and temper expectations accordingly? I'm sure it's a complicated balancing act either way, but at a certain point you're just making things worse by actively feeding into the hype.

I was doing a related, but very non specific google search and this reddit thread was literally the top result. Has some good info/context, but might be referencing the manga specifically.

He said the full name...

Lemillion....whats his quirk again?

Nice...thanks. Now that you mention it, I remember that tidbit about b/w being more challenging.

I'd have to get the duration but that seemed short for a member of the 12 Kizuki. It took 3-4 people (including a hashira) to kill Gyutaro and he's ranked lower than Gyokko. I'm just used to long protracted battles with these dudes by now.

Can an upper rank die that quick?

That's a good point so I don't really know. I just assumed all Ito's work was B/W and It was more of a stylistic choice than a purely financial one. If it turns out there are color spreads, b/w makes even less sense.

That's a damn good question. I have no idea. The thing with Junji Ito's stuff is that it's idea rich and explores a lot of weird scenarios that tend to strain credulity at a certain point. The one's I've watched (there's an Ito collection on Crunchy Roll) don't have traditional story arcs. They just kind of explore a concept and it usually plays out in a horrible way. I never read the Uzumaki manga but I'm hoping we get some type of actual story instead of just a series of whacky events.

I thought I would be fine with the B/W and I respect them trying to be true to the original, but I'm not crazy about it either. I just think color adds so much to a show like this. The movie version was almost a muted monotone green, but it added an awesome ambiance. The B/W is a little flat.

Somebody ded

I know there were a lot of delays and problems with this production and many were beyond the artist's control. I also know the industry is overworked and A$$holes like David Laslav have no respect for animation, but some of the more complex animation and shots in general don't look all that spectacular. Also, the music and SFX are seriously uninspiring and poorly mixed. Am I the only one who feels this way? I dunno maybe I'm being too picky.

Hair for a chair...awesome!

Who knew a high and tight was the solution

Hair Fight!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to fight this....thing?

Sounds like an episode of "Fear thy neighbor"

just hanging in the dudes back like common barnacles
