GitShub

Naoki Urasawa does super lengthy thriller/mystery/conspiracy stories, including one about a doctor and the serial killer he unknowingly saves, and one about a cult lead by a man the protagonists apparently knew as a child, but none of them know who it is

GitS is one of THE defining cyberpunk stories, up there with stuff like Bladerunner and Robocop.

speaking of cyberpunk...2077 looks LIT AF

and stab in the face of SJWs

Akira is also great, but manga > anime as usual

also, Urasawa is amazing. He did the artwork (and some of the writing) for a series a few years ago called Billy Bat that was REALLY cool (a story about a long running conspiracy based around a Mickey Mouse stand-in that seems to be supernaturally effecting humans ever since the time of cavemen), and his newest manga, Asadora, seems like it's gonna be really interesting so far too

he really likes writing stories that take place over a good chunk of time - Monster and 20th Century Boy both take place over the course of a few decades, while Billy Bat took place over the course of a few generations, and Asadora straight up tells you that it's a story about the life of a woman that was born shortly before WWII

I've only gone through 20th Century Boys and Monster so far. Gotta take a break between Urasawa journeys because holy fuck they are long

And not just long but require your attention

I'm pretty excited - Pluto is getting an anime adaptation sometime next year

Nice

which combines Urasawa with Osamu Tezuka, so... two of the best mangaka of all time, IMO

also, speaking of fantastic manga - if you haven't read it, check out Dorohedoro

I got to the baseball arc before taking a break

I'll get back to it someday

well there's an anime announced for it, and presumably it'll cover the entire series, since it's done, so... might be easier to watch that when it's released

I find manga easier to deal with, it's moreso a factor of how all over the place Dorohedoro is

true

I'm rather concerned that there won't be an animation studio that will be able to adapt Q Hayashida's art style in a way that does it justice, as well

if they end up falling back on the standard of "use CG for the hard to animate parts" the show is gonna look... bad

still, I like seeing manga that I enjoy getting an anime, since it brings the series to a wider audience

so I gotta appreciate it for that

They just throw CG in randomly now. It's annoying

>Goblin Slayer CG walk cycle next to every other character with a normal walk cycle

I think it's because Goblin Slayer has fairly intricately detailed armor, and the anime industry is... lazy? dying? Not sure which

animators today can't do NEARLY as much as animators even 10 years ago could do

like, giant mech anime are an easy example of this - mechas in anime are CG 99% of the time now, because no one that's still doing mech anime know how to animate mecha anymore

I think it's the churn

that's definitely part of it

I also think it's the same kind of problem that video games have today, where the people that pioneered the format were generally trained in something other than that specific field, and they adapted their training to what they were doing

but now, people are trained _specifically_ in the field of animation for anime, so they aren't getting the same wide breadth of experience that previous generations of animators got

@Mandatory Carry p'tak?

Hey, I forgot that I know hajoka...
But I'll take it, thanks @Clive.

@Mandatory Carry Why do you know the word for faggot in six languages?

Most places already know him by Anderson Cooper

Because Shannon WATTS herself said *"these mandatory carry faggots"* in an internal email back in 2Ø14, when the page was just over a month old.
Do *fuck you, fuck this, fuck that, imma faggot, bitch.* Or something like that, I was also homeless at the time and my thinking wasn't always perfectly clear...
