Dandivine starts in a couple weeksWho is going to be subbing it?
>>24030055I saw it got a manga tie-in that began today. I doubt anyone is gonna translate it though.
>Beast King War God Dandivine is an upcoming original Japanese anime television series created by Good Smile Company and Liden Films, and the first project in Good Smile Company's "The God of Combined Series", to commemorate its 25th anniversary.If, for no reason in particular, the sponsor of this anime happened to operate an image board with a dedicated mecha section, shouldn't it be in their best interest to promote the series?
>>24030419Don't worry, duel will do his best to make no-one want to discuss this
>>24030419Is it supposed to be very tangentially connected to dancouga?
>>24030422The Duel strawman is already being used to dismiss any criticism of Vertex Force
>>24030419If you are implying there is a marketing shill thread, there are like 10 people on /m/ total that look at anything other than Gundam threads or generals at this pointRegardless this anime is going to get discussed either way purely because of its writer. Assuming someone translates it of course.
>>24030055Bravern got official release on Netflix or Crunchyroll or something. This is basically the same production fashion so it's going to get the same thing in the US. Official multicast.
>>24030908Crunchyroll did not sub the Dandevine trailer like they did for Bravern. There's no evidence they're doing it.
>>24030419Moot received an offer to buy the website from an unnamed "japanese toy company" back in 2005.
>>24030987Why does he always do that non-sequitor into bringing up another series unprompted
The main character gives way more of a hot-blooded vibe in the manga tie in compared to what we’ve seen of the anime.
>>24031233Is anyone translating it? I'd like to check it out myself
>>24031250Isn't the manga MC something like an older relative to the protagonists in the show?
>>24030055hopefully no homo shit like bravern and star driver
>>24031691Where do you think you are?
>>24031579Its a prequel, right? One of the characters listed in the show is the original Dandivine pilot and said to be the uncle of the protagonist.
>>24032144Yeah, it seems so, the artsyle also reminds me of that god-unbreaker mecha manga that got axed months ago, wonder it it's the same artists.

>>24031691>Toshiki Inoue>No gay shitImpossible
I can't stop singing this when I read the name https://youtu.be/AtsvVH0D2AU
>>24030913Yeah as it seems It's not being broadcasted by TBS nor Sony's own channel animax. Linden is owned by Kodokawa albeit. If it gains enough traction it might be on Crunchyroll because Witch Hat Artelier was and that's also Kodokawa.
>>24031691I'll take homo shit over harem slop any day of the week
>>24033278Based
>>24033278>>24033284Hi duel
>>24033278I'm a homo and I don't want to see the gay shit in my anime. Homosexuality is not entertainment outside of porn, it's explotation.
>>24033350you can't point to everyone can call them "duel" just so you don't have to argue with them.You are as bad as the problem you are trying to stop
>>24033367>just so you don't have to argue with them....why do you want to be argued with?
>>24033357You are not gonna get a straight handsome guy to let you blow him bro.
>>24030055>chink director
>>24033453chink are kino though
>>24033433Well I've proven that wrong dozens of times.
>>24033453>The next century will be Chinese>The next Super Director of japanese anime will be Chinese Fitting
>>24034263Kek I know your kind.
>>24033264Crunchy added Dandivine today, so the translation issue is resolved for the anime at least if no fansubbers puck it upDon't know if anyone is gonna work on the manga though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAGGia6tbgU
>>24034574Aggressive Chinese vibes
>>24034718it's literally a super colorful Shibuya crossing
>>24034574Blue hair girl is cute.A ton of the cast has the same surname, like her and the protagonist, so I wonder the relations. Even the one guy without it is confirmed as the protagonist's uncle already.
>>24033220This is the gayest shit I've heard in my whole life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCECxakU4ek
>>24034718Not spiky enough to be a mecha designed by china
>>24030679>Assuming someone translates it of course.Looks like crunchyroll picked it up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8fgR7YAUj4Dandivine's opening.
>>24038429If that's the 2D quality for the OP I dread what it'll look like in the show itself.
>>24038429Now studios are trying to make it look more like traditional animation while using 100% CGI for anime. Still looks horrible because they don't use smear frames and have an awful frame rate. Ugh.
>>24038429>comments still on
>>24034718The robot is Korean actually
>>24038478Retard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcPqZfNc8sg
>>24037040Muse Asia (YouTube) picked it up, too.
>>24038429Many cute girls, not gay confirmed?
>>24039956It's harem.
>>24040058doesn't give off harem vibes to me
So, this airs today?
https://x.com/Dengeki_Daioh/status/2107667479770107920Dandivine prologue manga is now renamed Dandivine Kai. It's like when the Fullmetal Rina manga got renamed early in publishing.
>>24038437It's definitely not a high profile studio so don't expect good animation outside of the fights. Even the fights look questionable.
I'm excited for this!
>>24034134Wuxia has become overly lame.
>>24041157In two weeks.
Airing now!
>>24041607Can't wait to watch it when I get home from work
First ep was... okayish, I guess.The mecha CG was alright but the environmental CG and the 2D was subpar as fuck.Like, holy shit, we're at the point where Gaiking LoDM from over twenty years ago which infamously had no sponsors and was rushed from pre-planning to airing in three months genuinely had better animation, cinematogaphy, choreography, direction and whatnot in its first episode than this.Still gonna keep watching it, hoping that it gets better, since there are some aspects that might get interesting like the>see that "Takeshi Jamada was just a normal high school student..." shit? That crap is BOOORING!stuff and the toy company angle.
>>24041733That's because LoDM was made by and involved skilled people that actually gave a shit and cared about Super Robots; you can overcome shit budget and schedules with passion to a surprisingly large extent.
>>24041737Man, I need to access my old PC again since I think I still have the notes I took from the old LoDM staff interviews on it.IIRC it really WAS a case of "we have more or less negative time and budget - let's make the best fucking thing we can!" and the staff loved the original Gaiking and its design so much that not using the NEO one wasn't really a matter of it being too complex but sheer respect for the OG.
God this was bad.Not one original idea in the whole episode.Premise, robot, setting and animation, we've all seen way better.So much for the hype train on this one.
I take it back. Faggots would have at least been more entertaining than what we’re getting
>>24041749>>24041766Toshiki Inoue is a washed up writer.
it;s somehow weaker than vertex force and meza's first ep.
>>24041773What's a Meza?
>>24041749People said that for MJP too but that ended up fun for me. I did think Vertex Force is better though.
well that was a pretty weak start>>24041733the decline of industry talent for anime originals is real>>24041796Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen Mochi Datta no de, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei to Shite Jiyuu ni Ikitaithe length of the title should tell you its ln trash
>>24041807its not that bad. It's miles better than your fantasy and shoelacer isekai garbage
>>24041808Not a high bar. Ive seen ants do a running leap over that bar
>>24041798MJP had way higher overall quality even in its first episode.This one was dull and zero budget as fuck to the point where I genuinely want to know just what the hell happened behind the scenes.GSC is basically the king when it comes to retro mecha toys and model kits, digging out IPs that most of /m/ has never even heard of (and in some cases, most of current day Japan), their staff has genuine passion about that stuff, they have high profile people working for them, they, along with Takara Tomy, have multiple toys for Dandivine in the oven, they promoted the show quite a lot and IIRC already have plans for more shows in the upcoming years...and yet they ended up dropping this not even quarter-assed dud that feels like something went seriously wrong.
>>24041808The power amor is cool and zone shipfights are good.Still wished it was claas sayasune the one that got an anime btw.
the real reason their toy sales are declining:no one is living in that city
>>24041796Nothing what's a meza you
>>24041820I guess cg people milling about in the the background in the sane scenes as those two paper cutouts would have been a too jarring visual experience
>>24041812Blind fanboys often make the worst content of the things they're fans of. See also: Red Ranger Isekai which has become an absolute dumpster fire and is definitely made by a completely blind, senseless tokusatsu fanboy.
>>24041828And GQux
>>24041830And Getter Robo Devolution
As usual, you can't help but give yourself away.
>>24041824My grandmother was Italian. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU
>almost everything besides the sound design and VAs was outsourced to China
Oh I see now. You all are intentionally leaving bad social media impressions because you are threatened and lets all be honest in front of our ancestors here intimidated by superior Chinese production ability
>>24041846Almost everything is outsourced to china and korea. Do that long enough, and even that cheap outsourcing goes to shit because, *shocker* You still have to pay animators a livable wage.
>>24041833Sorry, but I'm just someone that has genuinely come to hate Red Ranger Isekai based entirely off of how shitty it has become over time, not for any of the nonsensical nonreasons that drool has
>Liden films>ChineseSometimes i wish I could line up every single dishonest Chinkshills and execute them on public. Never give us a good Chinese recommendation despite Chinese people having so many classics and instead just being annoying about their crappy newer things
https://nyaa.si/view/2170954How was Dandivine's premiere?
Better than vertex force by a huge gap, having the characters drawn really makes the difference. Never supporting full 3DCG trash.
>>24041946Nah
>>24041848>Almost everything is outsourced to china and koreaHow come Gooks, Chinks and their dickriders always try to make themselves sound like the most important people in the world nowadays? I thought that the inferiority complex was just an exaggarated meme but it's looking more and more like an actual fact
>>24041950Dandivine was better received than shitex force, cope.
Both Vertex and Dandivine are equally middling for now
This episode 1 felt weaker than I antecipated, not bad but it should been better. Hopefully it does get better later.
>>24041945Honestly sad to watch. Animation, scene composition and the action were all absolutely abysmal. This is meant to be start of a franchise? There's no way this doesn't bomb completely.Is there even any talent for /m/ shows available?Gquacks, Hathaway and even the upcoming XARX Zero look great; even those Xabungle side R and L looked amazing
>>24041828>Red Ranger Isekai which has become an absolute dumpster fireit was a fire the moment the Megazord got summoned in the fantasy world. "Not like your typical isekai power fantasy" my ass
>>24041945Bad
>>24042007>"Not like your typical isekai power fantasy" my assThe protagonist has been dead for about 7 months and counting.
>jumps straight to spoilers without even bothering to use tagsmakes me wonder if the spoiler is legit or shit is being made up to trick people to reading/watching it?
>>24042031Its real
this was really whatever. you can at least hope it does something interesting later. if my standards for seasonal anime hadnt been lowered by narou kei shit maybe i would have felt worse about it
>>24042031You're a retard, and you can easily confirm it by checking its dedicated thread right now.
>>24042031I fucking wish it was a lie, I'd honestly probably rather have it be your shitpost of it being a lazy no effort power fantasy over what it currently is in reality.
>>24042047You're fucking annoying too, acting like it's all over and the work will have a tragic ending just because the MC isn't coming back so soon.
>>24042052I know it's not going to have a tragic ending (because I have read the manga up to it's current point and also know what it's fucking title is), that doesn't make the poorly executed and farcical current arc (and it's eventual resolution) any less contrived, hollow, and banal.
>>24042052the fact that it's not going to stick just makes it all the worse. Not that I want it to be tragic, but we spent more than half a year on shit that goes nowhere.
>>24042074Technically we've spent all year on shit that goes nowhere, pretty much. None of the actually interesting shit built up towards or shown before this year has had any progress at all (learning anything at all about what Silver's deal is, the Kizuna Five actually entering into the main plot, or why the Demon Queen (and even the other final bosses, for that matter) are the way they are, as just a few examples). Meanwhile all we have gotten is a bunch of very boring and absolutely ridiculous new antagonists that you really cannot take the fights against seriously due to their very nature (and who have added nothing at all to the story or any of the characters except banal drama and misery shit), a bunch overwrought despair porn for pretty much all of the protagonists (Yihdra most of all) and some honestly extremely vague bullshit about the past of the final bosses in the flashback that happens in chapter 54. This entire year doesn't really contribute anything at all to the story or characters unless you're a sadistic douchebag that gets off on seeing characters you supposedly like and want to be happy suffer and get traumatized for life.
Pretty weak first episode but I can't ignore the big titty blonde villainess and construction worker Ryoma uncle, this show is gonna deliver one way or another.
>>24041986Yeah, I get that too. Its not terrible, but definitely feels like it could be way better.
Why does duel keep raging about Sentai Red Isekai in these threads? On here and on /a/I don't understand the connection in his mind between these two
>>24042178>I don't understand the connection in his mindTrying to understand a retarded autistic pedophile diabetic eunuch's mind is a losing game.
This is bad. Like really bad. I get the story wants to be meta but there's no fun to be had here.
>>24042178why are we assuming that Duel hates Sentai Red Isekai?
>>24042246>we >assumingYou are not fooling anyone.
>>24042107I bet it fucking wont
>>24042191You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24041812Well, yeah, mjp was basically a tech demo for orange. This one only wants to shill toys without any ambition as a studio.
>>24041994Unless it's done by sunrise, ex-gainax, satelight, graphinica, orange, sanzigen, or if they have old /m/ directors onboard like taniguchi don't get your hopes up basically
>>24042296For a toy show the human characters don't really seem like very toyetic designs. Like the money would be in the robot but these guys don't really seem like action figure material. They look like they'd be better suited in some high school club anime.
>>24042306I would jokingly say to blame the Gridman anime, but even they (especially the Dynazenon characters) had at least some panache to their designs. But yeah, having a more flashy/stylish and distinctively designed MC like Guy or Daiya from LoDM that was mentioned earlier would help a lot to make it feel more like a proper Super Robot toy commercial show.
>>24042309It reminds me less of a super robot protagonist and more like something you'd get out of of Asyra Crying or some moody 2000s show. And that's not to say that super robot shows need a certain type of hero. They don't HAVE to be hot blooded youths in bright colored jumpsuits but it doesn't hurt to play to type. I look at this trio and you know what comes to mind? Kanazuki no Miko.
>>24042309They copied gridman when the premise sounds more like akibaranger instead. It's too soon to judge but I bet this will fall flat halfway through.
>>24042306with a few exceptions, human toys have always been kind of rare with mecha showsthat said, the villain trio scream "I was designed to be turned into a Nendoroid">>24042338I think it's pretty obvious why. his uncle is the hot blooded pilot and is likely going to be killed off like Gai was for character development
>>24042342It fell flat with the first episode
>>24042414You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24042309>>24042338Nips say this.
>>24042460
>>24042460You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24042460Twitter screencap? Do you care to form your own opinion?
I don't think the show is bad, but it isn't the best first impression. I do hope there ends up being improvements because I think there is stuff that can end up better.The cheapness does show though, in things like the lack of anyone else in the background.
>>24042534>>24042444>>24042278CONSOOM!
What was supposed to be the hook here? I assumed it was hiding something but it really does seem to just be as face value as it seemed upon reveal.
>>24042686I know it's the first episode but I feel like there's a lot of conflicting ideas and elements that aren't gelling. The idea of a super robot toy marketing team trying to make their big robot more profitable is kind of interesting. There's almost something Dai-Guard-esque if they put more focus on the marketing side of things and it's got the whole meta commentary about kids not liking robot shows anymore. The big rub I have is the MC, who is just not very interesting and it doesn't make him less interesting when the show calls out how uninteresting he is. I liked Uncle Ryoma but he's going to have to pass the robot on sooner rather later. It's just kind of hard to get a read.
>>24042673Buzzword!
>>24042872It's somewhat concerning that we have Inoue on record saying that the overall joke with him is that he will never get interesting
>>24042999Yeah, that's not really the best way to get people excited for your show. He's not even acting as the straight man.
They seem really proud of this trio and I'm really confident they probably designed them first and they fell into a robot show.
>>24042306With the unreliable dad and uncle characters I feel like they may be testing the waters with the fujoshi/bara fan market, which while that's a reasonable business decision (See Digimon Beatbreak and how Naito who only shows up in one arc has the best selling merchandise) there's gotta be more to their designs.Conversely they seem to have been intentionally taking the piss with a couple of the character designs, namely "Ruri Hoshino but with one fewer twintail"
>>24043151I wonder if the purple bishounen who was present on the latest key visual will make the series more popular when he shows up as well.
>>24043151Shes cute. I wonder how relevant she'll be
I raised an eyebrow at the in-universe commentary that kids don't want toy robots anymore. Considering this sponsored by Toy Companies and is supposed to be merchandise driven.
>>24043456That shouldn't be surprising given how stupidly meta the show is at a base
>>24043456You clearly don't get how anime works. This is a late night broadcast, no kids is watching this. Dandivine is an adult collectible.
>>24043462Its been pointed out repeatedly that the idea of kids not liking toy robots is confirmation biasThe only company even trying to target children with mecha anymore is Takara, and they've been more successful than pretty much everyone else in bringing mecha to the market.Bamco is retarded for not replacing the Build franchise with anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIXEFEDaUDsVol 1.
>>24043478Then why is our MC some bland High school self insert stand in and not someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towards. If this is meant for the young at heart working stiff it's gonna miss its mark.
>>24043835>and not someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towardsJapan typically does not have the obsessive hang-up with needing older protagonists that the west does.
>>24043840No, they just have an obsessive hang-up with needing a younger protagonist instead
>>24043854Grow up bro
>>24043835>someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towardsYeah like a loli or a loli with big boobs.
>>24043858At this point just about anything would be better than vacuous black haired Japanese high schooler.
>>24043854No, they just are open to different ages. They aren't afraid of enjoying stuff with characters younger than themselves. No hang ups.
>>24043032They’re pretty meh. At most tamagoro might do a splash page of them to pad put a compilation doujin
>>24043871>No, they just are open to different ages.No they're not.
>>24043923>nuh uhKek
Beijing unimpressed
It was honestly pretty boring. A lot of ideas, but the first episode didn't do anything interesting. It didn't help that the cgi was mediocre.Unrelated to that, I'm wasn't a huge fan of the korea inspired robot, so I was hoping seeing it in motion with goof cg could help change my opinion, but that wasn't good either.
>>24043995>>24044075Xi XghinPiing’s not gunna like THIS!
>>24043874I wish, tamagoro hasn't shown any signs of going back to the H doujinshi scene yet
Unfortunately I'm gonna have to jump on the whelmed train. Seemed like a wet noodle, nothing particularly impressive in the writing or animation department. We get so few of these nowadays that I'm inclined to keep watching but yeah wasn't enthused.
>>24044105He did come out with an entire tank a few months ago, so there's still hope.
>>24044178That's just a collection of magazine published works though, going out of your way to do a doujinshi is a lot more work for yourself

>>24044409>assumes that everyone who talks bad about harems are the same person
>>24043871That is not true in the least. Japan has an obsession with the teenage years as before University is the last time somebody has personal freedom in their culture. Almost everything has protagonists in their teenage years. Everything coming out from that country from music to games to anime.
>>24044442Not really. Japs see college as the best time of their lives because they have all the freedoms of adulthood without the burden. It's just that otakus are pedophiles and most of them never finish college because they're shut-ins
>>24044522Then why are 80 to 90% of entertainment properties focused on the high schoolers. Hmm?Especially now. I think your candy coating the Japanese not realizing a huge swath of the country is bumpkins and mouth breathing knuckle draggers.

>>24046357Unless it does an INSANE 180° or a Deca-Dence tier plot twist in the next two episodes, it's going to be a massive wet fart.
>>24030055Dunno if I'm gonna watch this but I do like the TM Rev song, because of course I do.
>>24046357I liked it
>>24046842What if it's just the first half and that the actual episode length is split 2-cour with a surprise second cour announcement in the first half's final episode?
>>24047037Didn't GSC basically tried to make this a series of sorts? They categorized it as "Gattaishin Series" or something. So season 2 would be like a completely different show.
>>24047261Yeah, gattaishing it's suppose to last 3 years or at least that's the plan.
>>24047037I really miss the days of 35-50+ episodes.
>>24047463>implying you lived through it>implying there aren't 50+ episode shows nowadays >implying you can name more than 5 50+ episode shows that aren't muh essentialcore 3*3 bait staple shows>implying you'd even bother watching 50 episode of this lol
>>24047486Go fist fuck your mother
>>24046357I don't know why GSC decided to cheap out on the studio. Like, why even bother with all the bell and whistles if it's animated like shit? The least they could do is get one of old-time /m/ staff in supervising position but they didn't even do that.Based on the aesthetics, voice actress and scriptwriter it's obvious they want this to be some sort of hybrid of ssss gridman and bravern, but I don't think this studio could pull of drama scenes as well as trigger, and inoue can be really unfunny when left unchecked (none of these young staff will say no to him).
>>24047494I really don't think a company would cheapen out on a production on purpose, saying "why didn't they just hire big people to make a good show?" is a bit naive but companies also make retarded decisions so it's anyone's guess.
>>24047543I know that. Maybe they don't have enough connection, maybe the ip being new and uncertain made it hard to secure big studios, maybe their calculation shows it's more profitable to do it this way than build the ip off smaller works etc I get that. But it's not my problem, I don't wanna watch a shoddily animated mecha anime by a no name director.
>>24047574Now I'm not going to pretend Dandivine is going to save mecha but only watching shows made by people you know is how the genre stagnates and dies.
Somehow I get Getter Arc flashbacks from it.>hey, Inoue/Kawagoe, I know that guy! They were involved with some stuff I enjoyed - can't be that bad and they're promoting it quite a bit, even having a variety of toys ready to go...>What the hell, where did the budget go?! Even the OP looks like shit - you'd think that they'd pour some bucks into something like this...>who the fuck is animating this, anyway?>Key Animators>Ching Chong, Sum Ting Wong, Ho Lee Sheet....>CGI Animators>Tom Ka Gai, Cao Ni Ma, Ding Dong Ban...At least Arc still had its Ishikawa artstyle as something positive while this is generic, borderline amateurish tripe.
>>24047463No one is willing to pay more than two cours in a row these days, sans a few exceptions like takatomy.
>>24047463People bring up horrible work conditions for animators all the time, but people forgot that nowadays customers want animation on their animation. Not stale images that are either slideshows or drag-move. Hell, they are even critical towards recycled animations. Thinking it's the worst thing despite that's how you save money and manpower abuse on a 26-52 episodes anime
>>24047660That's not what I'm saying, they could pick a director with more shows on his belt. The guy barely has any anime experience let alone fully directing.
>>24047870And what would that achieve?>inb4 better direction
this is getting worse and worse
>"here's your episode budget, bro"
>>24044668Brother, you're on 4chan, on the mecha board, in a thread about a shitty mecha show no one is really watching. You're the ultra otaku, this show is for you.>>24047660The genre is so dead that it can't even imagine itself being alive anymore. It's pretty much just corpse shows nowdays.>>24047966Seems pretty cliche subversive, though.>The protagonist is a pathetic, bland self insert whom everyone calls pathetic, even though he's pretty.>His girlfriend breaks up with him while he's on the toilet.>He obviously cares more about her than she cares about him, so it's a burn on those token girls in mecha anime.>The old pilot (aka the audience) is an unmarried manchild with a blue collar job whom no one takes seriously.>Hell, even his brother is a pathetic mecha fan, despite being married and having a job.
>>24048045>>The old pilot (aka the audience) is an unmarried manchild with a blue collar job whom no one takes seriously.Anon, the show so far have not dwelled much on how the general populous actually treats the old pilot, aside from the hair bangs operator who knows who he is and correctly expected him to be piloting the robot and his own family from the perspective of the bland MC, we don't even know if he is a construction worker by his own choice. The show simply has not much depth, at least not yet.

>>24041496Its not bad but its very bland
>>24050141It's a bit busy if you ask me. And without any real iconic or stand art features to focus on. Like for example, GaoGaiGair. It's a pretty detailed design but you got the lion face, the helmet crest. It's got a lot of edges and bits but it's very readable. I don't know what to even look at with DanDevine.
>>24048838There just hasn't been much of note released since thenNot nothing, mind you, but it's kinda bad when there were only two original IPs in the entire past decade to come out and not be immediately forgotten or ignored. One of those is Shinkalion and the other is Bravern, both of them themselves heavily referential of older shit. Hell, here you are in a thread about a show that also seems to be hearkening back to the mecha of yesteryear. No one wants anything new, it is what it is
>>24048045She breaks up with him because she thinks he doesn't care. Akane outright says she's afraid he would have been fine with any girl.
>>24050256Seems like his arc is revolving around him stopping to be just so middle of the road and non-committal about literally everything since he does actually seem to be bothered by Akane breaking up given his following of her.I wonder if the others will become co-pilots though since they 3 are featured heavily in the promo-shot, and OP seems to imply purple hair is a pilot of a new robot.
>>24041496Is the toy even out yet?
>>24050218You just refused to look at anything new on principle>here you are in a thread about a show that also seems to be hearkening back to the mecha of yesteryearDoesn't mean I don't pay attention to what's going on currently
>>24050617Not at all, I'm here trying to keep up with a show, obviously, although I admit I haven't even watched a single episode of Dandevine so far. Based on the responses in this thread, this show is also going to be forgotten, for better or worse. It already missed its chance when it didn't come out strong on the first episode, so it doesn't matter if it ends up good later. I'm probably the biggest Back Arrow stan on /m/, and I also liked Garandoll quite a bit. See any threads for them lately? This isn't about me. This is about the fact that the mecha fandom as a whole has no interest in new IPs. Even this season the best received show so far seems to be the fucking Rayearth remake. It's a sad state of affairs.
>>24050629>AAAAAAAAAA THERE NEEDS TO BE A THREAD OF EVERY SHOW AT ALL TIMES OTHERWISE IT'S FORGOTTEN >NOOOOOOOOO I CAN'T POSSIBLY WATCH A SHOW THAT ISN'T DEEMED POPULAR AND RATED HIGHLY ON MAL I WOULD BE LOSING MY PRECIOUS TIME>THIS GENRE IS DEAD AND I REFUSE TO ENGAGE WITH IT EARNESTLY BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE WON'T DO THAT FOR ME INSTEAD
>>24050698.>I REFUSE TO ENGAGE WITH IT EARNESTLY>Making such a statement while strawmanning literally everything I say
>>24050617Look I don't know what you want, Buddy. I've been watching the show and there's simply been nothing worth talking about. We're two episodes in and we still don't really feel like we have a clear idea about the story or even the protagonist. There's like three different groups and It doesn't even feel like there's any cohesion. We go from high school drama bs to meta toy commentary to precure villains.

I think what bugs me about the MC is that he feels like, okay go with me on this, you know how like Clark Kent would pretend to be a mild mannered dweeb but that was just a cover up and he was kind of having his whole little in joke the whole time? It feels like that except he's not really Superman and he's not having a giggle. He is just so dull that it has to be an act but it isn't.

>>24050911
>>24050912
>>24050910>>24050911>>24050912>>24050913>The character is boring on purpose! It's original! Why?
>>24050914Should have mentioned it while posting (though I'm sure it's obvious), but that's all MTL'd, so maybe it makes a bit more sense in the original JP? Or it's just Inoue shitposting, he likes to do that when you give him free reign.
>>24050914Because that way it's easier for people to self insert.
That was pretty funny but wow, what a bitch.
>>24050912this is what i'm talking about, nobody dares to say no to him
>>24050841>>24050629I wasn't really talking about the show, just commenting on how the two posters I replied to here >>24048838 are stuck on the perception from years ago
>>24051053Yeah, he's one of those writers that you have to take a Goldilocks approach with. He can't write the truly good shit unless he has a good bit of freedom, but if you let him just do whatever he wants without ever questioning it he'll basically just end up shitposting a lot of the time.
>>24050913So is the company just milking the dumb ayylmao girls (or whatever they are) who summon the enemy robots? That's the impression I got from the second episode. I keep getting Dai-Guard vibes from this anime for some reason but even though Dai-Guard was cheap-looking at times, this anime looks like a cut scene from 20 years ago half the time .
>>24051220Like I feel there's a good formula hidden somewhere here. Like here's an idea off the cuff >MC Is boring as fuck because he doesn't want people to know what a fanboy he was. But lets loose when he's piloting almost as if he's a different person.>Crazy Uncle realizes this and pushes him to be more honest.>Dumb Bitch who wanted him to show some personality gets her wish but is now here to make straight man comments while everyone starts geeking out Gekiganger style>Toy designers are secretly weapons technicians who keep building new gear/toys like that one chick from DaiGuard >Villain trio end up going all DECULTURE Mix in some secret plots and twists and you got a show. Maybe some of this will happen, maybe anything will happen but as of two episodes the only thing we got out of anyone is bunch of bland japanese EEEEEHs. Like maybe another look at the main villain would have been nice.
>>24050917>>24050914It's the Aldnoah Zero formula. Inaho is the most boring mecha protagonist you could possibly conceive. Who the fuck thought that character was a good idea?
>>24051253I'm reminded a bit of Buddy Complex. Everything was just so rote and formulaic that somehow even a show about time cucking manages to be one of the dullest most personality devoid shows I think I've seen. And even that had a hook about time cucking to at least catch the viewers attention.
This got me thing about first episodes in general. A good first episode has a lot to do and doesn't really have a lot of time do it. Most importantly, I feel, it has to set a good impression of the characters and or world. It doesn't need to spell everything out but at the very least it's meant to tell us why we should care. I can't say that DanDevine had a very good first episode but to illustrate what I think does I went back and rewatched the first episode of Dai-Guard and it was night and day as to what we know of DG compared to DD. Just a few notes.>A long time ago monsters fucked shit up and they had to use extreme measures to stop it. Ibuki saw this as a young child first hand. Clearly a potential character arc.>After the first one monsters never resurfaced. The robot made to fight them never saw use and was sold off to a private defense corp to recoup development costs. People see Dai-Guard as a joke. >Main three pilots and there central personalities and chemistry are established. Akagi is impulsive and a bit childish. Aoyama is vain but more cool headed. Ibuki is the level headed mediator but as seen in the flashback got stuff boiling. This was all in the first SEVEN FUCKING MINUTES by the way. >The board of directors is up to shit. The mysterious commander is plotting something.>Monsters are back! Holy shit. They're caused by some dimensional quake bullshit.>Akagi and Ibuki are quick to rush in because of their personalities, Aoyama acts a voice of reason but still jumps to action suggestion a good conscience deep down. >Dai-Guard kind of sucks at fighting so the heroes need to get creative.>Other characters like the military are introduced. Dai-Guard had 26 episodes to develop it's cast and story and had no real villain to speak of but that was a lot of action in one episode. And honestly you'd think a shorter show would move at a faster pace information wise but we're two episodes in and don't know dick.
>>24051253>>24051257Nah, here the fact that the mc is boring is brought up in the show itself and even used as part of serious conflict (his girlfriend thinking he doesn't really care about her because he's nice all the time and seems fine with everything but never seems overly enthusiastic). It's attempting a self-aware narrative but just went with a dumb idea in the first place.
>>24051274Self awareness is fine when done well but it really only works if you have something to be self aware of. What are they even on about here? Nadesico was self aware as a major plot element but it used that build a story. Gekiganger while seeming like a dumb little parody ends up adding to the tragedy of things. This is >MC is boring>Girlfriend: YOU ARE BORING!
Seeing all these anons show how thoroughly unfamiliar they are with Inoue's writing just makes me laugh. Also, Goodsmile picked the worst writer possible to shill their toys.
>>24051318I've seen plenty of his other work but familiarity doesn't make this show any less uninteresting.
>>24051318I never liked a single one of his kamen rider shows.There was one active raid episode I found really stupid and surprise surprise it was an inoue episode.
Who's the fucking writer? Why are all the characters so lame?
>>24051403>Who's the fucking writer?This man.
>>24051403I wouldn't call them lame. Of course I also wouldn't call them characters either.
>>24051328Not even Agito? That one I feel is quite good even if you don't care for Inoue's usual quirks
>>24050861
>>24050914>>24050917It's another generic black haired jap, with almost all the females having colored hair.
>>24051328Inoue's work as main writer in anime is pretty overwhelmingly medicore at best. quite literally the only standout entries (Death Note, Yawara, a handful of Ramna and City Hunter episodes) in his work history are adaptions of other peoples mangathe last time he got creative control over a series (Sword Gai) it was a disaster, GSC picked the wrong person. Inoue is only good when he's kept on a leash.
>>24051653He got to write an original episode for Sentai Red Isekai
>>24051656I'm talking about main writer as シリーズ構成
Hope it gets better but man it's mid as hell right now. I guess it's better than say something like Aquarion MOE but that is a very fucking low bar
>>24051257You'd think Bizon getting cucked so hard he goes back in time and becomes the last boss would be interesting but nope
>>24051812Right? I'm not saying it would have been good but you'd something that retarded at least wouldn't be boring. Though one could also say the same about Fukuda Grendizer. Even with the catfishing just completely unmemorable.
>>24051653>death noteWas he the one responsible for changing light's death from a pathetic loser to a pretty boy's tragic end?
>>24051845Vapid shitposts in writing form are still just that: vapid shitposts that maybe come to mind on rare occasion for a quick lazy chuckle that are then just as rapidly forgotten.
>>24043456To be fair it's very specifically merchandising itself through adult collector channels, hence the Goodsmile partnership.However, the claim that kids just don't like mecha anymore doesn't seem to be entirely true... China and Korea apparently found the sauce again in recent years.>>24050861This is very strange. They talk about it like it's the first entry in some sort of long term plan to reignite interest in mecha as a whole.But then you watch the show and it kind of feels like it's just going through the motions and throwing a few bones to genre savvy oldfags. Nothing particularly daring.
>>24051965>China and Korea apparently found the sauce again in recent yearsReferring to MCB and Miniforce, Godbrave studios is also behind Dandivine.
>>24051965>China and Korea apparently found the sauce again in recent yearsI think it's just Japanese children trend that they think giant heroic robots are lameI dunno much about Korea, but Chinks love giant robots. The reason Transformers didn't completely fizzled out after Bayformers and beyond is because the Chinks basically carried the IP's popularity. The general audience, mind you. Not nerdy fans
>>24043519Yeah, but this show is going with the confirmation bias narrative, so unfortunately that's what we're stuck with.
>>24051410The show has meta humor, a reluctant MC who wish to runway but can't and daddy issues. Classic Inoue. The only thing missing is love triangles
>>24052142Is the MC reluctant? He seems more taken aback and surprised more than he seems hesitant to act. In fact it doesn't seem like he had much of a reaction to anything. Like seriously, he was just in a life or death battle aboard giant robot fighting a monster. Anyone should be having an adrenaline rush that would have them amped up for days but he's back to school like it never happened. "Huh oh yeah I did do that. It was something alright."
>>24052146This isn't Eva so don't expect a psychological examination. The point is MC likes to be normal and wish for an unexciting common life but he's being pushed by circunstances to get into the robot. It's obvious the uncle is training him to be his succesor for whatever reason and he can't say no or else there's no show
>>24052148>This isn't Eva so don't expect a psychological examinationI'm not expecting a deep psychological examination. I'm expecting ANY REACTION OF ANY KIND. At the very least some kind of acknowledgement he was in a life or death situation. >The point is MC likes to be normal and wish for an unexciting common life Even that much is a conscience effort and more than we get out of our hero here. He doesn't show excitement or reluctance.
>>24052161>conscienceConscious. I'm sleepy.
>>24051510The funniest thing about aldnoah zero is urobuchi only wrote like three episodes and the rest are done by the guy who does the screenplay for boku no pico.
Goodsmile probably told Inoue to make the protagonist a plain everyman that the average Otaku could self-insert into. But, Inoue being Inoue, he probably decided to take the piss at them by making the most boring and least interesting MC he could come up with. He literally came out and said that the MC's never gonna get interesting.
It's blatantly obvious this anime is a shitpost. There's no way you guys don't see that, right? I know the average /m/ poster has severe autism and can't understand anything unless spelled out for them, but Episode 2 may as well have had scrolling red text on screen saying "can you believe they paid me to write this?"Doesn't make it any better or interesting and I don't think the average anime watcher is looking forward to 3-5 episodes of bland stuff before anything of note happens. If anything happens, this will end up as one of those "it sucks for X episodes BUT THEN!" shows, of which there used be plenty of during the 2000s. I don't have any hopes or expectations for it, and I cannot fathom what fanboy picked Inoue of all people to write what is supposed to be the first entry in a series, unless they already have the second entry being made right this moment. If they're expecting this to sell enough for another entry I think they're going to eat shit pretty badly.>>24051653I don't know why people keep forgetting time is a real thing. Inoue from 1996 isn't Inoue from 2026. I love most of his original works but what he's done in the last few years has barely anything to do with his initial output. Being on a leash has nothing to do with it, the guy stopped caring about anything.
>>24052188>I cannot fathom what fanboy picked Inoue of all people to write what is supposed to be the first entry in a seriesthe idea was probably "ssss gridman was written by a tokusatsu company, let's get another tokusatsu writer involved!"they should've gotten either riku sanjo or yasuko kobayashi
>>24052188Donbrothers was great and very similar to Changerion with a pinch of his more melodramatic shows.
How's the Japanese response been?
>>24052211ranging from>Krusty_what_the_hell_is_that.gifto>i-it's not THAT badwith a lot of them shitting on the staff, pointing out that almost the entire thing is outsourced and subcontracted to Chinese studios and people with next to zero experience, questioning the state of their own (mecha) animation industry.IIRC, the studio handling the CGI and the director have actually only done mobile shit so far, the initial character concept artist is somewhat prolific but the IN-SHOW character artist is a literallywho that was picked up from Twitter/Pixiv with no previous business experience, etc.Actual positive impressions seem to be rather rare.
>>24052188It's not crazy enough to make it's name off being a shitpost. It feels more low effort than anything.
https://x.com/dakssol_roko/status/2110725144322953239https://x.com/dakssol_roko/status/2110691798666617241I get it - using a 3d model that's literally the same as the toy sounds like a good idea on paper and gets the most on model design but man it's so soulless
>>24052201I liked both, but the overall atmosphere of that was quite far from Changerion or Mikazuki (though that may have been Keita's influence). This is even farther out from it. Jiro's entire character was my favorite part of it other than the comedy, and Dandivine has been landing the comedy for me, though I know it's absolutely not for everyone.>>24052360It absolutely is, that's why I'm not expecting a "Madoka episode 3" moment to happen. If the animation quality was better, maybe. But it feels very cheap.>>24052485I think it's a matter of execution. There are few things more upsetting to me regarding /m/ toys than it being offmodel and/or not being able to move like the show it's from. Dandivine just kind of sucks.
>>24052533Changerion sucked though.
I think its improving, but feels too slow paced, even for meNew robot looks really cool
>>24052129I'd argue it's a self made problem. If you don't make anything worth caring about no one is gonna care. During the mecha boom people made tons of great shows that are still remembered today(and a lot of trash that is mostly forgotten) but today even established franchises don't put in the same effort they used to, never mind new shows. Of course kids won't care, why should they?
>>24053756There's not much new mecha stuff for kids Made by japanese companies outside takaratomy to being with.
>>24053799I think the mindset that things need to be made specifically for kids is part of the problem, rather than aiming to make things people of any age(including kids) might enjoy. The idea that since something "for kids" it needs to be dumbed down and lesser is part of the problem.
>>24053833he's probably talking about time slots and such
>>24053833That's not really something the average Japanese toy commercial suffers from compared to the average westoid one
>>24051805>I guess it's better than say something like Aquarion MOElmaoooo moe is significantly more entertaining and interesting
>>24053756It's important to remember all costs ballooned since then, and a lot of the series during the mecha boom benefited from strong yen or the bubble at its peak. Now they're not doing that good and every company is chasing Disney-level profits for some reason. Even making a genuinely good show with lots of effort has a higher chance of "flopping" due to costs and expected profits being below "infinite money". Dandivine itself only exists because GSC has a shitload of money from pushing nendoroids of literally anything and price hiking all their shit a few years ago. Everybody else, assuming they're interested in making mecha, simply do not have the money or qualified personnel to even start production.
>>24053837It did had some interesting ideas, but the execution was not entertaining in the slightest.>>24052624You and this show suck. Rayearth was gonna be the best /m/ show this season anyway, but I did not expect it's main 'competition' to be essentially self-sabotaged.
>>24030055how many anime have this same character design?
>>24054072They remind me of the screencap of that one guy who wore a white button-down shirt and black pants like Whatshisname from Dimeadozensliceoflifeanime as cosplay to a convention and then complained on Twitter that no one knew who he was.
>>24054072looks like a slightly younger version of the creep known as The Sensei from Blue Archive
>>24054085Nobody knows what you are talking about.

To be perfectly blunt, if this keeps going like that it might be THE worst post 2000 super robot show, imo.Every single other turd at least has some redeeming qualities.G Dangaioh? Each episode when looked at in a selfcontained vacuum is actually pretty alright and if the rumors are true that they did each one in a week then hats offFuuun Ishin Daishogun? May have absolutely horrendous PowerPoint-tier animation and goes nowhere but the character art is really good and the robots are coolOlynssis? Had a better setting and you could laugh at Hirai's designs on a Toei budgetCaptain Earth? WAY better animation and belliesRouran? Has some neat robot designs and wacky shit like entering your mech by getting grabbed by a giant hand that comes out of the robot's boobFranxx? Gave us Pochincoff-fodderThis genuinely has nothing, absolutely NOTHING going for it.the story: jumps between multiple plot-threads without giving a reason to care for any of them, with the most interesting angle, the toy company one, being borderline negligible so farthe characters and their designs: dull garbage you've seen before and don't want to ever see againthe CGI: subpar, corner-cutting (let's be honest, the Ring is just there so they don't have to render anything and if they could they'd probably flat out turn this into Webdiver 2.0 in the blink of an eye) and often looks like as if it was rendered on a 3DS like when Dandivine slides backwards after the combinationthe actual art and animation: fucking laughable to the point where even Knack would've been ashamed of itDandivine's design: strangely unappealing, overdetailed and with nothing iconic and outstanding about it besides the centaur part of the combination sequenceThe whole thing feels like as if they just threw a bunch of tropes and stuff about super robots that got explained to them through post-it notes written in a different language at the wall of the cheapest studio they could find, hoping that something sticks.
>>24054219I feel like there could be ways to make The Ring work better. GGG's Dividing Driver was effectively the same thing but it had a lot more WOW to it and they used the thing in a lot of different ways. But here it's just a wrestling ring without the energy of a wrestling match.
great, the "LE EBIN TRAINWRECKZ" retards are here
>>24054244Something needs to have been on the rails in the first place to become a trainwreck dude, this is just people calling it out on being bad from the start.
>>24054244Or maybe some people have fucking standards, as low as they may be.If the show really is just 12-13 eps long then it already wasted a quarter of its runtime - this isn't "How do you know it's shit? It's not even out yet" this is the turd already sticking out of the asshole of the guy shitting on the plate and you knowing that he definitely needs more meat in his diet.
>>24054219because this anime is le 4th wall joke on the industry.
>>24054272With the Moderoid kits and The Gattai toys in the bargain bin section 60% off being the punchline.
>>24052200>riku sanjoThe short Gaiking LoDM discussion we had earlier in the thread actually made me think of him, since that (alongside many other things in his resume) shows that he is a fantastic choice for something that you want to have authentically feel like a good children's toy commercial anime.
>>24054288>meanwhile, Inoue made the fucking hippo episodes
>>24054303I will admit that I don't remember those ones too well, but I don't think they were any different from Inoue's usual fare when he comes to write an episode or two for something else, which is to say "I hope you like/are at least okay with absurdist comedy", which I generally don't mind. Better than something like when Inoue has to write for characters that he wasn't personally involved in creating and building up, like a lot of the early 2000s Heisei KR movies, where they end up feeling kind of... off, to put it one way.
>>24054308Those were the eps where everyone was exhausted and hallucinating that pink hippos where everywhere.It's also where a bunch of characters got random backstories that in hindsight made you question the actions of the bad guys.Franklin, the doctor of the Dakuu Maryuu was once a tailor, Daimon the engineer a homeless hippy who sang about protecting the nature, etc. which begs the question why the fuck Emperor Darius would even kidnap the former to build giant robots for him - for sewing Dolman's cape?!
I'm not sure I'd call it the worst series post-2000... you guys are forgetting some of the absolutely dog water of the 2010s - Comet Lucifer, Sora to Umi no Aida, Build Divers, etc.but it's definitely in the bottom 3/4.
>>24054312Never watched Sora, but Comet Lucifer and Build Diver had much better animation than this at least. Even directing I'd say was better too (although none of those two are really what I'd call good in that sense, they're still clearly better than this)
>>24054246>>24054244
>>24054312>Build Divers,Oh fuck off. Divers was fun. You've been in a retarded crusade for that one years now.
>>24054312>Build Divers can't be worse than Build Fighters Try
>>24054337I am a crossbone fanboy (that one Match still makes me seethe) and i enjoy masturbating to Ayame so i prefer build divers 1 over try.
Both build divers and Try had a few moments with heart and some of the staff trying to make something.I liked Build Divers but it's just average at best. I disliked Try but it did have some good things about it. But this? What is this? Vertex Force which seems to have a smaller budget has better shading for its CGI. All CGI robots need shading.
>>24054311Okay, so it was the usual Inoue Special that you get from calling him in to do an episode or two
>>24054377Yeah, Build Divers was painfully average--it felt like it was trying to recapture the magic of the original Build Fighters series, but it felt... I dunno, hollow? Combined with the shit pacing after the Break Decal arc concluded, and it was painfully forgettable, especially compared to its sequel, Build Divers Re:RISE.
So when I remembered Slash Unicorn had a cockpit seat as some form of training wheels for Gekiha to feel comfortable as Dandivine's pilot, it makes me think that Blaze Phoenix and Magna Titan should have cockpits too. The other young main cast should eventually pilot the Divine Beasts by midpoint (Kirei pilots Slash Unicorn, Akane with Blaze Phoenix, and Go with Magna Titan) once the latter two get in on Gekiha's secret.DAMMIT, I CAN'T FUCKING TYPE AGAIN!
>>24054554I mean was that not what the intro sequence was already implying?
You know what's really clawing in the back of my head? This is almost guaranteed to show up in Super Robot Wars.
>>24054605The question is: Real SRW, or DD/whatever mobage replaces it in probably about a year?
>>24054605Probably not, this isn't affiliated with bandai in any way.
>>24054288That W manga is also still as consistently good as the original show. I don't like it for visual reason but that's not the writer's fault.
I don't like it
Gave it a chance, and at 3 episodes, I'm not into it. Ep 3 had me cringing so hard, and that's the only real emotion I've gotten out of it.
I had broken my rule and ordered THE GATTAI before the show aired... if I knew how mediocre the show was, I would have waited until the end.For all the good things about it (articulation, gimmicks), GSC made some absolutely retarded decisions with the biggest offender being the wrists on a single peg that doesn't have enough friction to actually hold its sword in anything other than a straight vertical position (and it can only do that because it relies on the sag of the forearms and the gattling gimmick for leverage with gaps)
>>24055484At least you know not to pre-order toys from now on.
>>24054574They need to at the very least have interspecial sex to even BEGIN to turn this whole franchise around.
Is anyone still watching this garbage? I dropped it because the characters are unlikeable
>>24054574Doesn't seem to be the case at first glance, because Kirei and Go are not in the opening.
>>24055484>order chinkbot>have personal data stolenKWAB
>>24054554Given the fact nothing has happened by episode 3 and this is apparently 13 episodes, with this pacing I doubt that will be done well.>>24054742Me neither. The CG models actually really suck. I don't know if it's lack of shading, all the fucking lines, or how overdesigned it feels, but I can barely tell what it looks like, it doesn't have that "clear shape" that helps set robots apart. Even that dogshit known as Kuromukuro can be identified from a distance and quickly doodled correct.
GSC should just fund an eldora spinoff and release like 10 minutes short of them fighting monsters every week and it would be better than whatever the fuck dandivine is trying to be
>>24041828I liked Isekai Red the show, it was fun. Dandivine so far is bland and all over the place. I hate the MC so much and wish he gets written off the show, let his uncle take over and maybe it's salvageable
>>24056467Don't put much weight in my schizo ramblings about the manga anyway, my mind is full of fuck and my statements best ignored
>>24054344divers is worse than Try.
VICTORY LEO??? IS THAT YOU???
>>24057063that cg is straight out of zoids anime 20 years ago
>>24057319At least the Zoids designs actually looked nice lmao
New thread for talks about this... honestly middling show so far.>>24057462>>24057462>>24057462
