This link might work better for people. I tried to use the amp link above and it didn't render well in my browser.
My very loose rule so far has been as long as something has either an AniList page or a MAL page, then it is good enough to be discussed in this community. I didn't check MAL, but this does have an AniList page, so it is anime enough for a post here.
wtf didn't know this was a thing in the works.
As for the animation I presonally found to it to be good, a bit too good even for action scenes, I would be very surprised if the action and movements were this fluid in trhoughout the show. That basically does not happen unless it's a big budget anime. Which to be fair, this might be.
Not sure about the character designs though, they are somewhat in the uncanny valley for me.
You are assuming it’s being made with the same market forces, and thus limitations, as “real” anime.
If they produced this on a weekly schedule, with artists who were relentlessly working on and being drastically underpaid for multiple projects (often under contract), sure, that’s a valid criticism.
But the market for anime is weird and very unpleasant, and, well, that’s simply not the reality here.. (I mean we aren’t far off, but the conditions for actual anime artists are pretty fucking bad)
Instead, this franchise seems to have several teams working on getting every opportunity they can out of it. They have -so many- comics, so much merchandise, and the actual animated stuff I guess, and people animating non-“cannon” stuff like the animated court case (which is hilarious and I recommend watching - it’s apparently real court minutes..) and whatever else they can come up with like detailing their merchandizing plan in a very meta way (I don’t know where to find a copy of the actual comic to link so this will have to do, I’m sorry)
I haven’t heard anything about this particular monetization, but I recent read the Rick and Morty manga vol 1 (just after release, was a gift), and it was just a jolly Rick and Morty take on attack on titan. It was fun to see how it played out but it was a blatant ripoff.
But the art quality for manga wasn’t there. It was so hard to figure out visually what was going on, and a lot of it looked like it was cut off to mimic the “cheap mass produced publishing”, but it felt like too much was cut, it all felt so very intentional, and wasn’t very good as a result.
I don’t have super high hopes for the anime.
Is that a joke i am not getting? that looks like total ass...
I liked when Summer said "Space Momma" because that was cute.
The animation actually looks good but I dislike the character designs and art style. I know they picked an action sequence to show off, but the real meat of R&M has always been the comedy - I wonder how that will translate with a Japanese production team at the helm.
Weird to think that R&M has been around for 10 years already. Maybe even as recently as 3 years ago I was still really hyped about this show and I would have been more excited, but now I am just sorta like "meh."
