I was saying that to a buddy yesterday.

It's amazing how jaded the last year have made me that I immediately thought he was taking her to Epstein's atelier in ep 1.
2nd episode was good. That one girl is a problem, but I like the overall feel of the show.

We finally got through all the gataris, the last bit being Sengoku Nadeko's stuff.

The way the show is, I half expected a bath scene with 5 nadekos and a guest or two piled in the bath together :emoji_laughing:

We also finished that show about the sorcerer that buys an elf waifu.

I kept waiting for some heart stabbing plot twist where the elf maiden turned evil or something.

But she just stayed the same sweetheart. I love cozy shows with people in love.

I hear you guys mention animation quality alot and I've never really noticed it much. However we started re-watching the 90's cartoon exo-squad and it is hard to watch after anime. Still love the show though.

Elf isekai show was chef's kiss for all the otaku incels out there. Just pure lust fantasy, even if they don't actually show anything.

As far as animation quality, older shows can't keep up with newer CGI technology. There's so much unbelievable amounts of movement in modern stuff, as opposed to older shows. Just look at how much hair moves around. That would have been many slides PER movement, yet it just constantly flows in the world of CGI.

I already dopped this show. The 2nd episode had so damn much screaming. I'm not into that bullshit.

Strongest Job is Appraiser is on a similar standing. I may drop that sooner or later due to screaming characters that annoy me.

People can mean different things when talking about animation quality, sometimes it's just about whether it looks good, sometimes it is about appreciation of the amount of work that something took to do, or of clever tricks that people hadn't done before - it's kind of like cinematography awards.

For Black Lagoon, I meant more specifically that the kite scene* in the most recent Witch Hat episode probably has more animation frames than the entirety of any of the Black Lagoon episodes. Expect a lot more static backgrounds with minimal movement in stuff from that era.



* For reference, that kite scene was fucking amazing on several levels.

Not to mention she has to tongue kiss a cat's asshole. It was an odd choice, but aside from that moment, the show was good.
all right

I didn't get what the fuck you were talking about now i get it.

When people were talking about witch hat atelier you were talking about the OTHER witch anime where a girl has to kiss the cat on the asshole to lift his curse and make him human again

Jesus fucking Christ I had no fucking idea what you were talking about.

Yeah, I'm watching both shows. One is on Monday (Pointed Hat Witch) & the other is Sunday (Kissing Cat's Fartbox).
