Not really anime, but i'm waiting until they're done with it to watch it.

The manga is a mashup route. For what it is, it's not half bad. The anime was garbage enough that it became a meme.

Plus Disc is alright. Kagetsu Tohya is a must. Melty is pretty good. There's also one or two okay short stories that hint at some past/future developments (despite the fact that we're never getting a sequel, let alone that remake).


What is the Melty Blood on steam? Is it like a special edition? Its called Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code.

MBAACC is a pure fighting game. Only the original game and Re-Act has the VN bits if I remember correctly.

Yea, like Spazer said, MBAACC is the most recent version of the fighter, so as an actual fighting game, its the best, but it doesn't have the VN aspect as the original had. The original was pretty shotty, as far as fighters go, but the VN aspect was solid.

Well, it has an arcade mode, but its about the same amount of story as you'd expect from any fighter! Definitely not the on the same level as the original

I wonder why there's this upturn of CGI lately. It still looks garbage but now people are stockholming themselves so hard. Is Japanese government funding CGI development like all those "please make babies" anime?

Isn't CGI just much faster (i.e. cheaper) to do? Especially when the studios get more experienced at it.

Also some CGI looks fairly good IMO, like from Seikaisuru Kado from last season.

CGI isn't cheaper/faster per se, but it can be recycled and once a model is created it can be reused and refilmed from any angle you want since it's 3D.

It costs more to produce a model with 3DCG than it does to draw it, but that only counts for a single frame, the second you begin reusing it, especially multiple times or constantly throughout a series, it becomes so much cheaper. You can even reuse it if you make another season or multiple seasons.

So yeah, in the end it speeds things up and cuts some corners cost wise.

I doubt it'd be cheaper if the CG was super high quality tho, then again super high quality 3DCG might look even more out of place than the cheap 3DCG does lol.

I believe it's a lot more expensive when doing it at high levels like Pixar/Disney stuff. It's just anime CGI is used more to save time and money so it's garbage dumpster fire.

Yes it is as long as you do it in cheap manner, which looks like ass. If they did some Blizzard Trailer or Triple A movie production stuff then it wouldn't be cheap. If their aim is to produce cheap anime that looks garbage and think it's a good marketing strategy, then ok. On top of that, 3D just looks so out of place when paired with 2D animation. It just doesn't work well.

Also please define "fairly good". As in, slightly less than terrible?

With fairly good I meant that it - to me - was on par with most other animes despite being CGI. Then again, I also liked the CGI in Tales of Zestiria for the most part which I know you didn't.

Not all CGI is terrible. CGI in Knights of Sidonia aside from models wasn't bad at all and I personally think the mech CGI in Knights and Magic is fine too.

So the Stockholm begins. The CGI in Sidonia was awful. It's the poster child of anime fans delusional "CGI isn't too bad!"

Let's agree to disagree. I don't plan on budging on this one.

That's where I agree, the CGI in both Knights of Sidonia and Ajin (the same one here?) were really hard to watch, they felt like low FPS or something.

The only good looking CGI in anime is stuff done by Studio Orange. For instance, MJP had very high quality CGI.

Knights of Sidonia CGI looked really bad. The mecha CGI in it wasn't the absolute worst, but the CGI people...... God that was terrible.
