animation night should be viable this week. might do Serbian animation, since I'm gonna flying to Serbia the day after. so far the only notable thing I'm finding is Technotise, which sounds pretty sick... fingers crossed I can find an encode of it somewhere.
other than that, I think there's been enough new stuff for another indie/web animation night. maybe in combination with technotise if i can't find more to go with it, or maybe I just keep it short...

speaking of fantasy manga I'd really love to see adapted well? it is definitely too much to hope that the Witch Hat Atelier adaptation, supposedly still in the works, will get something half so tasty. two years without any movement isn't a great sign on the face of it, and the team is apparently the same one that did zom100, a production which apparently kinda collapsed, so that's two worrying signs.
but even without all that, Shirahama's precise and detailed art style, full of flowing hair and cloth, looks incredible in manga form but would be a real nightmare to animate. Kui's designs are inherently simple and relatively animation friendly (obvs Naoki Takeda put a specific Trigger spin on them, and generally made them a bit more angular and dynamic, but the design DNA is still there). for Witch Hat, I don't doubt it could be done - KyoAni probably could pull it off, given Violet Evergarden - but it would be a huge adaptation challenge to capture the feeling of the manga even a bit.
I would very much love to be proven wrong though!

I caught up with the Dungeon Meshi anime while I was at my friend's place. Honestly marathoning it in a couple sessions like that was actually perfect - I could share it with someone who was new to the series (and I knew it would be up her street), and for my part, I could enjoy seeing all the adaptation decisions and crazy animation flexes.
it's honestly doing a really fantastic job of capturing a lot of the strengths of Kui's manga - the grounded attention to setting detail, the rich character dynamics - while mixing in the kind of exaggerated, loose, post-Kanada school animation and creativity with the medium that Trigger is known for. And it ends up a perfect match. Something is always lost in adaptation, but this is an excellent case of how to bring in a new ingredient to make it taste fresh all the same.
I never thought Dunmeshi would get such a labour-of-love adaptation - led by a really dedicated fan of the series, with some of the best animators in the industry. I did think Trigger would do a generally solid job from the day it was announced... but they're really going all-in on this one, way beyond what I thought would be realistic to hope for, and it's so good to see.
It's always a little odd when the fairly niche thing you're into suddenly gets crazy popular with a huge new audience, but I'm honestly really glad that more people are getting this story served up in such a tasty way. And hey, helps wash down the bitter taste of Frieren, as far as non-isekai fantasy anime goes...

As far as I can tell, Frieren is done. What's the final verdict?
6/10 I would say?
Like its good at what its want to be, and I am a peaks over consistency guy. I think its the best-looking anime of the season, Frieren is a solid character with a strong dynamic with Fern+, you watch it and you care about her because its core conceit of playing with time and the attachments that transcend it is a good hook. Also Sein is a goat, should've kept him around.
It just lacks a story worthy of all that. As I mentioned before it essentially should just be an OVA, it has about ~6 episodes of plot in actuality. But its not 1991 so they stretch that out and add a ton of padding instead. They could have made it a slice of life thing where there is no plot intentionally and I think that could have really worked with its tone and lush worldbuilding? But they chose shounen battle academy arcs (worst) and demon army battles (those are okay but wear out their welcome, the demons are boring) instead.
I think I wouldn't recommend it to a non "srs anime" or genre fan. Like most people *don't* want the tradeoff of "intricate animation & layouts but weak story" right? They don't really value the first part that much. But if its your genre, if you are an anime head, hell if you wanna fuck one of the main cast or w/e, then yeah, its good enough to justify watching it if you want a fix of your go-to. Otherwise I think one would be disappointed and feel like they wasted their time.

hello, trans/nonbinary internet weirdo & shitposter emeritus frog k here. you might know me from my large collection of free fiction, my twitter/tumblr presence for the last few years, possibly my dumb ass tee shirts, etc.
i need help paying for bills, groceries, and meds this month. i've been writing to the best of my ability and i'm really hoping to have something to show for it soon, but cfs/long covid stuff have been hell despite decent results from naltrexone, and having to cold turkey a psych med that was giving me early-stage tardive dyskinesia has had me stumbling around like a drunk for months despite being stone sober the whole time. there's light at the end of the tunnel here, but in the meanwhile i gotta keep the power on and raw ingredients in the fridge.
trying to raise about $500; any help hugely appreciated <3
cashapp - $asimplefrog ko-fi (paypal redirect) - frogk
thank you all!

Kaiju No.8 #1
Key Animation: Osamu Tanabe
I'm not gonna lie and say I was familiar with Tanabe's work before watching the premier-- Yes. Feel free to boo me-- at the bare minimum I knew he was an Ex-Ghibli... But my knowledge starts and ends there. Still, a standout piece of animation from an opener that was already flexing it's animation muscles. Tanabe's drawings are loose, but the weighty timing is what grounds and humanizes them. Capturing the normalcy of urban life before disaster strikes.
