you guys excited for Magical Gyaru Rayearth?
>>24019412One of these girls wants to get CLAMPed by two men
>>24019445Yeah and the other two have no set limit on how many.
>>24019412Hikaru has evolved from Sexual Tyrannosaur to Sexual Godzilla.
This is gonna get p weird.
Looking good https://youtu.be/HmK-W6VEAdg
>>24019842It looks like only the rune knights are cg, but only in certain shots. This is pretty good news. I'll pick it up based on that.
>>24019412Yeah.
>>24019412Umi looks a bit silly with both her normal hairband and a scrunchie
>>24019849Apparently it's done by the people who did the cgi in ssss gridman
>>24019412>those socksWoah baby
>>24019445Don't judge her
>>24019412I'm not confident. Best case scenario it's pointless.
>>24020092>Apparently it's done by the people who did the cgi in ssss gridmanthat explains why Duel hates new Rayearth
>>24020747KYS spammer
>>24020092What sucks is that they are also responsible for the dumb 2012 Berzerk. But as much as I don't like Gridman and Rayzern ( for having little kid protags) it's pretty good as far as Japan's lame anime CGI goes.
>>24020890Yeah why can't it be cool like american cg and have blacks and gays?
>>24020898I never said anything like that it's about the frame rate. They can just do 30 frames and it can look normal like the Harlock movie but no they have to do 22.

>>24023746>blood and visible woundsnice, I don't recall the original having any of thatWith the PVs showing off the Rune Gods so much despite being nothing season 2 related, it looks like we might be having more mecha action too. It definitely seems like they heavily dialed back if not entirely eliminated the shoujo appeal aspects
So is this out in the US or do I have to torrent it?
Umi is my wife>>24024043it hasn't started airing yet
>>24023739>This video is private>If the owner of this video has granted you access, please sign in.I guess that rules out everyone here.
>same studio producing both versions>no Yuzurenai Negai in the PVCome the fuck on TMS, you have to know how much people want to hear it. You can say that's blatant nostalgiabaiting and you'd be right to say so, but fuck you play it anyway
>>24025378They'll save it for a final battle
>>24025378That's because it has a new OP. Itvsays so right in the PV.
>>24024046Ascot pls
I know because of Taco the big joke around here is "two more weeks", but in quite a literal sense we have two weeks to go. Anyone excited?I don't know if I'm more excited for this or Snowball Earth season 2. The good smile show might be all right also I don't know.
>>24027100>The good smile showDandivine? Damn if you think about it when was the last time we had a season this packed? 2021?
>>24027110Oops ya I totally blanked on the name.I think it was 2005 to 2007 we had some loaded seasons. Not just in mecha but there where lots of enjoyable shows all over.
>>24019412I'd have figured loafers would suit Hikaru better and Mary Janes would look better on Fuu.
>>24025378TMS butched their rendition fo Ai wo Torimodose and Hnk2026 so they put it as the Ending and gave us a crappy generic j-pop song as the OP.
Happy 37th birthday to Umi's nu voice actress.

>>24036245>>24036246>>24036248I should have expected there to be Moderoids for the Rune Knights. They usually pick up the fringe stuff anyway.
>>24036581why the fuck wouldn't they reuse the molds for the rune knights they already made for the original show?with any luck they'll make an NSX this time
>>24037510
>>24037511
>>24037013If you compare the originals to the new models you can see they didn't simply reuse the old molds. Perhaps modify them through computer drafting?Compare this image I have to >>24036248
>>24028389It was to the point people stop watching and forgot that horrible remake.
>>24019412I tried watching Rayearth a few years ago; even bought the Blu-ray release. Tried watching it, and lost interest pretty quickly.I honestly don't even remember what turned me off about it. I guess I can watch this remake. Can't imagine it'll be super different though, unless there's something I don't know.
>>24038335The problem with the original is many of the scenes are extremely drawn out to take up the necessary 23 or so minutes. It makes the series seem really uncomfortable and boring when there are long pauses here and there for no reason.Season 2 does this much more often.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG9UnfXlD1Y
>>24038335>>24038481I'm a third party in this discussion but I recently started S2 and holy shit I'm like 10 episodes in and it really moves at a total fucking glacial pace it's kind of upsetting, S1 was definitely a bit slow/repetitive for me but it was never this bad. Nova and Hikaru FINALLY properly met face to face though so I'm hoping it picks up.
>>24038585>it picks up
>>24038585for me it was the evil djinns, made it almost unwatchable at certain points, they're disgusting and lame as fuck, I don't understand why it took so long to defeat them.
>>24038585Have you read the manga? It's a lot more brisk by it's nature
>>24038585>>24038590>>24038591see and yall motherfuckers used to meme on me hating s2
>>24036248My wet dream is for those to be like Fix Figuration Metal Composite.
AHHHHHHHHHHH WHY ISNT IT OUT YET I NEED TO BE MAD AT IT
>>24038825https://twitter.com/rayearth_info/status/2106670666309324992Wait three more days.
>>24038829OH OKAY I THOUGHT IT WAS TODAY THANKS FOR THE INFO
>>24038606It's the biggest thing I'm looking forward to with this remakeThere isn't much of a need to remake S1S2 on the other hand barely has anything salvageable in it and hopefully gets replaced with something of much greater substance (assuming they bother with it)
>>24039787Isn't this thing confirmed 23 episodes or so? That's potentially enough for both halves of the story
>>24032555 >Would someone explain why cankle socks ever became a trend? it's because of zaku legs. i'm not even kidding
>>24039787>it and hopefully gets replaced with something of much greater substanceI can't wait for all you idiots to realize just how little substance there actually was in the manga. It's going to fly by in a snap.
>>24039801It isn't.
>>24039803is it confirmed that this is a straight manga adaptation?
>>24039819Nothing official that I've seen. It'll be pretty hilarious if it winds up being more of a diversion than the first anime was.
>>24039803This is a good thing, retarded manga anti
I'd rather they go off in their own direction like the OVAs, the old show was close enough to the comics that there's not a lot to do different compared to Sailor Moon Crystal to the 90s show

>>24040629Anime quality directly relates to the cloak animation budget, much like how super robotness is a function of the amount of trumpets in the soundtrack.

>>24040606>>24040629nothin on the Latino dub yet
>duel is already crying about it
>>24040747he was crying about it the moment it got ANNOUNCED
am I stupid or it's kinda hard to find detailed info on what this remake entails?Is it supposed to be closer to the manga or a remake of the anime? How many episodes? Heck, release dates for them or anything?Please by all means call me a bumbling retard and so on and so forth, I probably deserve that, just seriously please tell me in between the lambasting
>>24040797It's listed at 21 episodes or so iirc, they (obviously very intentionally, for whatever reason) haven't said anything on whether or not it's meant to be a more strict adaptation of the manga or not
>>24040797Why would they spoil major details about the show?
>>24040799I'm thinking like Sailor Moon Crystal, more accurate to the manga but added subplots that the author couldn't add st the time
>>24040799fair enough then, thanks for the info>>24040800it's not like this is a brand new story, I figured there would be an interview or something where they'd say how they're approaching the adaptation and remake this time. I've seen people say it's gonna be closer to the manga but I guess that's wishful thinking for the time being.>>24040801that'd be pretty cool I think, Crystal definitely feels aimed at people that were already fans before but Rayearth is a much shorter story so it might be different here
>>24040747I don't get it, why does he hate women so much?
>>24039787season 2 is literally the coolest shit ever though
>>24025378About that...https://x.com/MON0EYE/status/2107560705792901250Literally Episode 1. None of the new songs yet until next week. TMS, I pray you just do the anime plot for the second half, since we all know the manga version felt empty.
>>24040928Manga version is literally better though? Like, objectively superior.
>>24040928(You) know that, retarded manga anti. Don't act as if though you have any right to speak for others, you cockmongling faggot.
https://nyaa.si/view/2170616How was premiere of the 2026 Rayearth anime?
>>24040931Probably because everyone survived? The truth is that CLAMP realized the second half has no real villain or stakes, so they made a proper villain in the anime version. Could still do well if they stick close to the manga fates, though.
>muh steaksFuck off
>>24040938None of this is true tho
the old series is pretty bad and colored by lots of nostalgia and the absolutely kick ass OP it hadhttps://youtu.be/VL33WLF7MmY?si=SUEm-xcyFz0yMraw

god I can't wait to see my husband again
>>24040747Of course he is.
INITIATE THE HIKARU BULLYING
First episode impression: a remake that is very much on point. Hope that is the case going foward.

Ayane Sakura as Hikaru is fucking with my head I always associate her with every character she voices being a massive bitch
>>24044466Does that include Uraraka from My Hero Academia?
>>24044432Thanks, I hate it.
finally watched the episode, yeah I'm thinking it's pretty greatthe colors are too intense but it's not a big deal honestly
>>24044732>it sucks and is ugly bit it's pretty great actually!
>>24044432It looks so stiff and flat
>>24044432This sounds like soulless shit but most comments are praising it. Are they bots or it's good relative to these times?
>>24044733life must be hard for the illiterate
First episode was better than expected, and I appreciate it not being another remake that wants to visually remind viewers the source was originally a comic. I doubt it'll ever be as charming as the 90s show, but since presumably it'll shed the predecessor's less interesting fat, the series could be a decent, straightforward adaptation.
I'm pretty new to Rayearth so I did not expect Hikaru to be the straight man of the trio
>>24038606s2 is perfect but only because it has an anime original floof haired sex goddess to steal the spotlight

You think they'll use the new anime for SRW like they do with Zeta with a New Translation
>>24045446Speaking of which, you think Nova is popular enough to show up even in the Remake? Or better yet, would they give Ume and Fuu their own Icer-4 counterpart?
>>24047596Nowadays otakus want to see page-by-page adaptations. There was more freedom in the old days because anime was for general audience. Also Clamp are notorious lesbophobes and they're supervising the project. Nova is fucked
>>24047965>Nowadays otakus want to see page-by-page adaptations. Wasn't Sailor Moon Crystal worse because it followed too close to the manga?>Also Clamp are notorious lesbophobes and they're supervising the project. Nova is fuckedIs it really yuri or simply masterbaitng? Also even with Nova is lusting over her good side, Hikaru still end up being in love with Lantis, if anything its more polygamy if Hikaru someone summons Nova for reasons.
>>24047965>There was more freedom in the old days because anime was for general audienceThis of course completely ignores the reality of the fact that Rayearth was serialized in a monthly magazine, which obviously doesn't really directly line up too well with something that airs weekly
>>24047965>Also Clamp are notorious lesbophobes and they're supervising the project.And yet they were okay with a teacher dating a 4th grader.>>24047984I'm pretty sure that's why a lot of series back then would have filler or go off the rails and have an original ending like FMA, Karin, and Akame Ga Kill.
>>24047997>And yet they were okay with a teacher dating a 4th grader.It's ok when its shojou, aka woman's fantasy.
>>24047997>And yet they were okay with a teacher dating a 4th grader.According to Clamp, pedophilia is OK but lesbianism is immoral
>>24048034Can't say I disagree, honestly
https://youtu.be/epUTXF_bFlw?si=-XB98_RZcbCKVIumThat ending theme made me feel sad about literally everything Part 1 is going to end up. You could even feel sympathy with Zagato.>>24048034>>24048040This is honestly not right. CLAMP made Miyuki-chan in Wonderland the same year as Rayearth, and it's nothing but an allegory of lesbian rape before Kaishaku did that.
https://twitter.com/rayearth_info/status/2110389917893505520Keiko Han as the narrator.
>>24048399Did we have a narrator last time?
>>24048034So why does duel hate them again?
>>24048546"ew girls have cooties"
>>24047981Crystal couldn't decide if it wanted to follow close or diverge, it caused a big melty in season 1 with yuri shippers when they shittily incorporated Takeuchi's scrapped "the Shitennou and Senshi were past-life lovers" plot which meant holding off on Shitennou deaths until Metalia could kill them at once and the Senshi would all cry at once on their knees.
What the fuck is her problem?The ohohoho~ killed me, man.
>>24048996bah
>>24048603But he loves MahoAko.
>>24049228He "loves" metallic rouge too, if you ask me I don't think he has watched any of those shows.
>>24019412Yeah it's pretty good so far.
>>24047965I'll admit I do like that the new Ranma anime doesn't flanderize Akane in order to make the other girls look good. Plus, the main reason a lot of anime back then would diverge was because the anime would catch up with the manga, so they would have to come up with an original ending like Full Metal Alchemist, Hellsing, or Akame Ga Kill.
>>24057440Akame Ga Kill anime wasn't too bad compared to the manga.
>>24058106It's just a lot more rushed due to how shorter it is since it ended before the manga. Also, people remember the anime more for killing off Tatsumi and Mine which didn't happen in the manga.
>>24042082>LIZLiterally who?
>>24047965>There was more freedom in the old days because anime was for general audienceYou fucking what? Anime is more for a general audience than it ever was. Outside of anime specifically for kids and long running simpsons-equivalent shows anime was near exclusively an otaku medium. Anime had anime original endings because OTAKU wanted a conclusion to shows, especially since OTAKU would just go and buy the source material afterward and enjoy that too if they liked it(or visa versa, watching the show because they already enjoyed the source). These days shows are meant to be replacements, not supplements or advertisements for the source, because normalfags aren't gonna run out and buy the source material. That's also why everything is so toothless and lame and gay these days, because the normalfag can't stomach the things the otaku can(well, that an various regulations slowly gutting (formerly) otaku media as a whole over the past 15-20 years bit by bit).
>>24059628Elizabeth Bathroy, from Fate. Also voices Astolfo
>>24059641If you want le grit, go rub your dick off on some sand paper faggot
>>24060176I'm not sure you understood a word I said because you seem to have gotten the wrong take away. It's about substance and the way media is viewed by audiences and the expectations of an enthusiast vs the passerby, not about edge or grit or whatever hallucinations you are having.
>>24060190I know exactly what you're on about and you can fuck off faggot
>>24060206You clearly don't, because you pulled "grit" out of your ass.
>>24059641>You fucking what? Anime is more for a general audience than it ever was. Outside of anime specifically for kids and long running simpsons-equivalent shows anime was near exclusively an otaku medium.What, no. There were tons of daytime mainstream audience shows in the 80s and 90s. Stuff from Evangelion to Ranma tv for example back in the 90s was aimed at general audiences, not otaku. Pretty much only OVAs were otaku focused.The explosion of late night anime in the early 00s was what started to cause otaku to take over as the main target audience for a lot of the tv anime produced. Even then, anime-only endings existed because it was expected the average audience watching the shows would want a complete product. If they don't care for the source material, you're better off giving them a conclusive ending if you don't expect new seasons. It's otaku who know the source who'd protest about the material being changed by the adaptation, even if it leaves the anime obviously incomplete.Only when it was clear the main target audience were otaku who can often be purists they started moving away from that and towards the current model.
>>24059641>anime was near exclusively an otaku mediumNo, shut the fuck up.
>>24059641>>24060247
>>24060162>Elizabeth BathroyAny relation to Elizabeth Bathory?
>>24060859yes
>>24060247The current model is centered almost entirely around the casual. You think all the low quality disposable isekai slop is aimed at otaku? No. that's largely aimed at the fair weather casual who doesn't form attachments with properties, who will eat whatever trash is tossed in their trough and move on to the next. It's why very little made today has any staying power. Look back at yesteryear, see all the shows that long after they ended people remember because they had something that resonated with someone, something that caused them to latch on to a character or idea. That's what it means to have substance. That's what media aimed at enthusiasts does. In the current day, the otaku have largely moved on from new anime and instead moved to shitty mobile games, because for all their many, many faults they give them something to latch on to.
>>24060978>The current model is centered almost entirely around the casual. You think all the low quality disposable isekai slop is aimed at otaku? No. that's largely aimed at the fair weather casual who doesn't form attachments with properties, who will eat whatever trash is tossed in their trough and move on to the next.That's really not true. Tons of isekai series are getting sequels these days. It's exactly why isekai has stayed as a big push for so long while something like "battle academy harems" only lasted a few years in the middle 2010s. They're managing to build a fanbase that's somehow invested in this trash, which is also why they try more new isekai shows too.Battle Academy Harems is what happens when they just push tons of seasonal series that can't get people invested into them. Eventually it's obvious they aren't a good return for investment and so they tried something else, since people don't stick with it and buy merch afterwards, leading to the current situation with isekai which did succeed in building fanbases.

>>24061013Okay, yeah. But you do know all this isekai crap is getting annoying, right? At some point, someone's gonna walk away and the rest are gonna follow.
>>24061013>Battle Academy Harems is what happens when they just push tons of seasonal series that can't get people invested into them.

>>24062248>But you do know all this isekai crap is getting annoying, right? At some point, someone's gonna walk away and the rest are gonna follow.Have I got news for you.https://automaton-media.com/en/news/kadokawa-cites-excessive-reliance-on-the-isekai-genre-as-one-of-the-major-causes-of-the-decline-in-profitability-in-its-domestic-publishing-business/
>>24061013>>24060978You're both right, and wrong.The business model today aims at the "dedicated casual", a halfway between the obsessed otaku that buys all the merch of his waifu, and the floating audience that might binge a single-cour series every once in a while.These are the people for whom they make every choice of product out there from the super-popular series, including Figmas, shirts, deluxe manga editions, Funko Pops, etc. See, the production committees noticed that, in the wake of the pandemic and Netflix making anime more mainstream than ever, a handful of shows became extraordinarily popular across the board: Frieren, Apothecary, Dandadan and even a couple of the isekai trash like Mushoku Tensei.
>>24062665NTA, but I figured because it's still Shonen. I remember people disliking it at first because of Asta's screaming at the beginning. I think his voice actor was new at the time, to the point people even preferred the dub actor.
>>24062674Even fucking Rent-A-Girlfriend had its 5th season even though it's a laughingstock. The season that adapted the infamous pool scene.
>>24063026>the infamous pool sceneqrd?
>>24063343MC gets a boner when he imagines the girlfriend he rented having sex with other people
>>24063353https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td5S799XmYMKEK.KEKKEK-KEK-KEK
>>24063376and to think /a/ loves slop like this
>>24063353I remember in the first episode he jacked off to his ex getting fucked by another guy too.
>>24063376This shit has been going on for over FOUR HUNDRED chapters.
>>24063457Yup, there's a lot of padding the characters keep resetting to keep the series going. The stupid MC can't stand next to any of the girls without freaking out over breathing the same air as her. Also, supposedly the writer is in love with the main girl and wrote another manga about a guy getting a harem of his adopted sisters.
>>24063026Also got a crossover with Yokai Watch of all fucking things for some reason (the reason being that Level 5 is run by incompetent retards)
>>24063480Well, if they are still using AI to make their games, I'm not surprised.
