Was great to hear Susumu Hirasawa's song again, and I'm still waiting eagerly for the full version to release (any ideas when?).
Oh god now that you say it. Well, we can only hope they play it during another scene and actually balance the audio so we can hear the song.Kaladin said:you're probably gonna have to wait for the soundtrack cd to come out for the full version.
Aazealh said:- Isidro to Guts: "I don't want to serve anyone". Four episodes ago he was literally serving people at a bar.
Gamehowitzer said:Wait hold up, there were 4 Bakirakas with the kushan dude, weren't there only 2 at that point in the manga?
Mammon said:since the 2016 anime is supposed to follow the "movie trilogy canon"
Oops, that will teach me to trust wikipedia, I googled it just before posting since I didn't follow the project very closely but...Aazealh said:Actually it's not, this series doesn't follow the movies' version of the story. It's a standalone product.
Mammon said:...here it kinda felt to me like he announces his presence, and just when Isidro was about to get killed to boot;
For new viewers it will look like a "ah, he is obviously trying to save that kid from episode 1 again and plays dumb, what a cool guy" moment. Well, maybe.
Hanma_Baki said:Am I the only one who thinks the animation was worse than last episode? Thats excluding the Bakiraka battle of course, which they - despite the usual very limited movement - manage to be somewhat smart about for once and came out almost "decent" regarding style, I'd say. But man, that scene in the tent, lingering WAAYYY too long and just totally unnecessary, like Aaz already said. And that particular shot with both the 2D and CG just glaringly weird. And OMG those wheels at the end....did they REALLY have to include them at all if it was gonna be THAT poorly done??? The torture chamber was initially more or less only as much of a disappointment as the rest of the significant scenes we've gotten and didnt really stand out, but of course that Mozgus face and little speech really put an exclamation point on it.
This is pretty irritating cause I thought the last episode would be kind of indicative that it'd keep that (albeit still low) standard. On the other hand, that episode barely had any "fighting" scenes, so that might explain that.
The only other scene that looked decent to me would be the one with Casca and Nina, which of course barely had any movement (surprise surprise!)
Perhaps this is just needlessly stating the obvious at this point, but no matter how much they seemingly try to follow the manga in their own little way here and there, and the sheer fact its done a lot less significantly, everything just comes off as either pretentious or cheesy when taken out of the manga's more serious and ominous context.
Ok just checking. Thanks Aazealh.Aazealh said:The scene is the same in the manga There are four Tapasa assembled around Silat, leader of their clan, the Bakiraka.
ApostleBob said:I don't quite get the criticisms I've been hearing that this anime is 'merely' recreating the manga panel for panel with the same dialogue. Isn't this a good thing? It feels much stronger, I remember criticisms of the movies prior to this for diverting from the manga by quite a bit in composition and content. So which is it that we want? A faithful adaptation , or a director who makes it his own.
