Assuming you're going for a Pixar-tier film a single frame could take you well over 24 hours to just render. But of course that's with the assumption that you're, well, going Pixar quality. Ray tracing, subsurface scattering, all the likes. And that's with a supercomputer/render farm instead of a normal desktop PC.
It wouldn't be too farfetched to imagine it taking well over a year to render an entire season. Two hundred and forty whole minutes or four hours as opposed to your average hour and a half minute animated film.

It probably wouldn't be that much. Render farms are stupid big nowadays, I think something like this with its mostly 2D backgrounds would be a drop in the ocean.

>>268295568
>>268296398
I would eat my shorts if this wasn't somehow raytraced with offline lighting. The mostly uniform lighting is obviously deliberate outside of the concert scenes. But the flatness is almost certainly something they had to go out of their way to achieve with like hand-tweaked surface normals on the characters. But raytracing has been standard for like decades at this point.

I know what ray traced lighting looks like. I've worked with it in Blender. I've autistically observed how vidya games do it. I know GBC doesn't have it.
Eat your shorts. Now.
>But raytracing has been standard for like decades at this point.
Only for very high budget films. On the lower end you're still gonna want to render your film like you would an older video game. Faked global illumination, faked reflected lights, you name it. It CAN get pretty close to that ray traced look, but it will never look as natural as actual ray tracing.

Lol. Rendering at 4k means changing the definition of absolutely everything, from textures to shots, not to mention the compositing. Plus rendering would take 4x more time than for 1080.
Even if you have big rendering farms, one second of GBC is 24 images; those images can have between 5 and 25 layers, which means more or less 480 passes for one second. If everything is optimized it usually takes between 5 and 40 secs to render one pass, but it's generally not the case, and one pass can take up to 30 minutes for money shots.

Tldr; rendering at 4k is expensive as fuck and takes a lot of time compared to 1080p. Not worth the risk.
>>
>>268296762
They did use mostly 3D backgrounds. They did not cheap out.
>>
>>268296762
I think the only 3D backgrounds are the places where they play music.

>>268296712
No it's raytraced. See this webm, look at Subaru's drum kit. There's a blinking cyan dot that's an aliasing artifact from a low ray sample count reflecting the stage light. You wouldn't get this kind of artifact if they were cheating the reflections in some other way.

You've worked with it in Blender because everyone who has touched 3D modeling software has used raytracing, because it's the standard thing for offline rendering. Video games are a terrible reference point because real-time raytracing is so different from normal raytracing. To the point where Nvidia has managed to mangle the vocabulary and now actual raytracing in video games is called "path tracing" and "raytracing" refers to cope-tracing.

Faking all of the lighting is a lot of extra work that you only need to do so that you can present your frame in real time. It's easier to not do this. Raytracing is not limited to realistic or naturalistic lighting. Toy Story does not look particularly natural but it was still raytraced. Since you worked with blender you should be very familiar with the roughness cutoff and so the way the reflections look across different instruments should be a dead giveaway.

The bullies would turn it around and claim Nina was the one throwing rocks at them. Since it's the popular girls claiming it this time, the school would actually believe them and expell Nina, who also gets charged for assault and ends up with a criminal record.
Nothing about Hina changes, except that she might backstab Nina even more proactively. When the police ask her about her witness testimony, she lies and confirms the bullies' story. Telling the truth would be helpful to Nina after all, and helping people is morally wrong

No idea given the shitty quality of youtube 4k, but since the shots are from the episodes, it must be in 1080.

Yeah, I listened to the full version a few hours after having watched the episode on Friday and I felt the same fucking way.

I mean, it's already so drastically different than the rest of their songs, so I feel like it's already starting with a handicap, but the full song is much better than what they used in the episode. I do really hope this song being like this was just a meta commentary thing like everyone seems to think. Even japs have been repeating the Momoka lost her edge line.

No but seriously, GBC became really popular in China and I don't think this was an accident, Toei obviously knows the potential profits that exist in the biggest market of the world, and china is also known for censoring fucking everything (Gay stuff included)
While objectively I can't prove this is the case, It wouldn't be surprise me if the writers (not only for GBC but for many shows that featured similar "Yuribait" tones) wanted to actually write A Yuri relationship but they had to cut that off because of china's censorship policies

Do you think there's an aversion to having anime bands be too successful in the end, because it'd be really embarrassing if the real life counterpart didn't reach the fake in-universe numbers?
>>
>>268302850
From that one interview that was posted here a few weeks ago, I think they're really hoping to have Togetoge be successful irl. In it they mention that they're kind of hoping to be able to have anime be a vehicle for jrock becoming as popular as kpop on an international level, since on its own it hasn't been able to do achieve any notable level of success outside of Japan.

Honestly think it's funny though because Asian and most notably Japanese shoegaze and mathrock is such a big thing in indie music circles in the West. Japanese psychdelia too - my normie music friends love Kikagaku Moyo.

>>268303107
Well they probably should've started with releasing the anime in the west if that was their aim. I don't think they were aiming internationally, everything to come out of that shareholder meeting seems like it was a surprise that they hit as well as they did overseas.

I'm fairly certain like most that the failure of international release was people not wanting to buy the license at all. So it's a failure on Western streaming services part if anything. I don't doubt they'll probably get it now that they've seen how popular the show is though.

The interview I'm talking about was released prior to the show airing and they specifically mention aiming for an international audience. For Japan though, sometimes international audience just means SEA and doesn't include the West at all though.

Imagine a young fangirl goes up to Momoka just like Nina did in episode 1, and Momoka treats her just like she did Nina in episode 1.

This is something I really love about GBC. It feels like they sort shit out more organically than most shows.

Shit that requires time to process takes that time, but never too long to the point it becomes annoying.
Shit that would normally be sorted out fast is done with quickly, but not so fast that you can't appreciate it.
Shit that is more individual and personal gets sorted out without every character needing to directly address it (like Tomo's issues or Nina's bullying, where only some relevant characters really talk to them about it).

Not everything needs a resolution either, some stuff is just presented to help you understand the characters, and that's great.

Eh, nothing fucked up about that. It's normal for people to get into relationships that fill the lacks of their childhood. It can get fucked up sometimes but in this case it feels like Tomo is just getting unconditional support/love from her indian [found family/wife] instead of from her mother.

I'm saying I don't think it's unhealthy in this case. Your childhood shapes who you are as a person, it's normal it will affect your choice in partners.
Sometimes it can lead to harmful fixations or dependencies, but that doesn't seem like the case here, and Rupa does everything in her power for Tomo to open up to people other than her.

>>268315548
I think one of the few failings of the anime is how standard fare j-rock Togetoge's music really is. If they had a harder edge to them and were more punk or shoegaze or mathrock or something, then I think it'd sell the hard battle plotline a little better. We honestly have to deal with a little suspension of disbelief when it comes to their music vs nuDD's.

That said, ignoring that fact, they could definitely avoid the sell out path and become successful. I just think it was also a little silly to want to steal literal DD fans when they're just idolpigs vs. them creating their own fanbase which if given the chance, could absolutely grow as big as DD levels and since they're not idolshit, a cool plotline to use in future continuations of the story is legitimately having them get popular overseas as a way to show they've grown to be better than DD.

It's an awkward question with an awkward answer.
The entertainment business is basically a mix of networking, marketing, a hint of skill, and more than anything gambling. There's a lot of chance involved, and by sticking go their principles so hard the Toges are limiting their scope in all areas reducing their odds of winning, basically they're betting it all on Black 13.

Realistically they can make it big, superstardom even, if they happen to get lucky. That is a completely real-life outcome, but there's no real way of making it FEEL realistic, or rather, earned, in the context of a narrative (because it isn't).

I might be completely out of touch, but getting signed to a big label and stuff feels very old fashioned to me. Granted I know nothing about J rock or the Japanese music industry in general, but I feel like for the music I do listen to, the big names got their start opening for someone else, release through independent music labels, and become internet famous.

But at the end of the day it really seems that making it in music requires some combination of connections and serendipity. Which was why Miura already being a fan of Momoka and old Diamond Dust felt reasonable. So at this point, I don't really know what realistically happens besides lucking out and getting internet famous.

And it's not like they get many rolls at the table considering they're all broke outcasts without much of a support network.

They could always sign on to an indie label which would give them much more creative freedom, but the flipside of that would be that they wouldn't get the resources towards marketing etc that a big label would provide.

idk what they'd do in the anime but in the current socioeconomic situation in japan for something like this i think it might be doable but the path is really fucking narrow and RNG-based if it's anything like trying to do other forms of independent art i.e. illustrations/comics/animation/etc. in order to actually have a situation where plenty of independent art is "viable" there needs to be some considerable top-level change in societal structure itself in such a way that enables much more flat-level organization and ownership of one's own work. don't know if the anime would ever touch on any of that tbdesu

Economic nightmare mode aside, self-publishing stuff has never been easier, so at least there's that.

Or the old days where the means of distribution were basically locked down to the point where it was impossible to make a living wage without getting lucky and getting noticed.

I would love for a soulless record label agency stooge to talk about the realities of Togetoge's economic situation.

How much money do bands make in the live house circuit anyway? And how much do they get paid for festivals? And what is the process of getting into festivals and shows and stuff if you don't have a record label or a bigger artist handling stuff for you? What is the legal entity representing an indie band? Does Momoka need to register Togetoge as an LLC? Will Nina have to learn how to do the bands' accounting?

I think they sound different. Diamond Dust is more generic j-rock while TogeToge is more like vocaloid j-rock. Also I'd say that their outfits aren't like idol outfits since they're all completely different and highly personalized. Idols usually have uniforms.

Don't get me wrong, they're both good songs, but they're not special.

Void is carried by the super emotional out of breath singing Nina does and Catharsis is carried by its energy, but the problem is that the whole instrumental side of the GBC project kind of sucks right now. The guitars are way too screachy and lack impact, the drums are barely existant, the keyboard should have never been added, and there's a lot of strange fills that only detract from the emotional build up of the songs, and this goes for both DD and TogeToge stuff we have so far. Rina's voice work is carrying the entire project music wise rn.

I mean ultimately, TogeToge comes down to their ethos. They bleed rock ethos. The fact that this is an anime and has Universal Music Japan behind it with some band that was made for the show means we're never gonna get anything actually too out there.

I don't follow vocaloid music, but I guess for a Western audience vocaloid-inspired rock (which is what TT is and how the anime/music staff thought up what Momoka's music would be) is already kind of different so it works for some people.

Ultimately, TT vs nu-DD is just a battle of aesthetics if we're being real here. Thematically of course its more a battle of authenticity.

I couldn't agree more with both these statements. It's awesome that she also ended up being really great at voice acting, but man, her voice is so great for music. I hope whatever she ends up doing after this whole project is over and they can't milk it anymore turns out well for her.

But they're not using it in a way that gives it any reason to exist. Listen to some of the best artists that use vocaloid and the way they do their keyboard parts are always super purposeful to the song. For TogeToge its just sound to fill space that does not even fill space properly.

Though, it should be said that doing well doesn't translate exactly to getting more content. Nor does doing poorly mean you won't get anything else. Plenty of shows that sold poorly got s2s, and plenty of shows that sold well never did. It's about what the committee thinks will help them the most, in the end. They care much less about how well a show's BDs sell compsred to how much more the manga or whatever other money making venture they're focusing on COULD sell in the future. It's a small difference but a nuance salesfags completely ignore.

>>268323258
I think considering all the factors, the BD's selling well for this show would point towards a season 2 more confidently than most shows. It's a 3DCG show, so it's easy to reuse assets. There's no manga to rely on for sales, all they've got is merch and the music. It's a multimedia project that a lot of time and money has been invested in, so it'd be a waste to stop at season 1 if anything too.

It's an original show which is very popular right now. If anything, Toei is well known for milking their cashcows whenever they can. They can easily write any original shit about the GBC girls doing jackshit while shilling their new songs and people will still coomsoom, go to theaters or buy any OVA/ONA/merch.
Now IMAGINE if a 3DCG show sells more than your recent popular 2D show (shows like OnK, Frieren, G-Witch, DM, MahoAko, etc) Toei just won't miss this chance and (You) know it

I think specifically because it's a multimedia project gives us a higher chance of a S2. Sure, it would take a bit to actually come to fruition, but they can do something similar to what they did with this season - they spent a whole year releasing music before the show started. They could release new songs in the time it takes for this hypothetical new season to air and that would in turn hype up the show. It would already have a backing versus the Togeari album/songs just being a shot in the dark as to who would listen to them and like them enough to then have watched S1.

They are going to be releasing more music regardless, so you don't even have to worry about that, they've already said it's a guarantee. I'd expect more new songs and more new music videos over the next year or so.

Also completely incidental information, but TogeToge's merch sold out first at Kawasaki 100 Fes, compared to bands like sumika and Shishamo. Of course it could be a stock question, but by the time the festivsal ended the sumika and Shishamo shops still had about half their goods. (Togetoge sold out completely before the concert even started.)

Nina writes a song decrying the evils of racism and claims diversity is what will save Japan.

>>268325202
They'll make Tomo's mom a racist. And she'll try to force Tomo to come back home because she doesn't want her living with a filthy foreigner. To resolve the problem Rupa will have to seduce Tomo's mom.

its a good thing Subaru is from money so she can take care of Nina and their child. Momoka on the other hand, will be visited by CPS.

I want a season 2 but I also want them to take 3 fucking years if necessary, maybe more.
More than any other show this year I loved GBC because of its writing, I'm willing to wait until my 50s if necessary but please don't fuck up the writing in a potential season 2.

has anyone made a crossover fan art of this?
because the word play is constantly on my head
>>
>>268325132
I would like if they use that element to showcase a more vulnerable side of Rupa. She is always the one supporting others and keeping her cool, even when she is emotionally shaken she either goes away to isolate herself or tries to project her feelings onto others.
It would be sweet if Something happened that made Rupa snap and Tomo (or Nina) had to be the one trying to cheer her up
>>
>>268325342
Didn't that become Dolls Frontline because they fucked up the trademark or something?
>>
>>268325358
I don't think a S2 needs to be as heavy as S1, but for sure I would feel much better if Hanada returned as writer. He seems to have enjoyed working on this enough, so hopefully that's something that can happen.

Is Subaru va still dead?
>>
>>268325489
everyone has had at least one episode focused on their issues and overcoming their pesonal struggles while we only got some hints and implications of rupas problems
we got the loss of her parents, isolating herself and being discriminated
they can make some decent episodes with that

They should bring him back but with a contract stipulation that he has to pay the yuri off.

Instantly my favorite Togetoge song.
Feels like a fusion of edgy VocaP music with JRock, very different from their anime discography.

Some cool psychadelic urban fantasy stuff and maybe light yuri vibes.

It's fucking obvious, look at her face. She's a predator.

we can all agree that EP8 was the most emotional?
Family stuff just wrecks me
>>
>>268327731
The family stuff was episode 10. Episode 8 was the lesbian drama.
>>
>>268327755
Oh yeah thats what I meant
>>
>>268327786
They're both 10/10 but episode 8 is my favorite. Because it has more Momoka and I can't get enough Momoka.

The answer better not be "gacha game."
It's gonna be a fucking gacha game, isn't it?
>>
>>268327685
It's what happened when Nina dropped it in the first ep.
>>
>>268327685
You can make whole thing a bit cheaper if you do that cause it's close to the middle so the load is distributed a bit more evenly.

how can I make a game that looks like GBC?
I've never seen a game with facial animations like GBC, even the new Guilty Gear doesn't look as good

>>268328228
I'd say it's pretty likely. With this genre of anime it's practically expected.
>>
>>268328388
I think it's just that color was a limited run.

I think they do this kind of trick in closeups where the model deforms based on the camera perspective. But a lot of it seems kind of traditional.

They all work on the same fundamentals
>I've never seen a game with facial animations like GBC, even the new Guilty Gear doesn't look as good
See this video https://youtu.be/lbEHq9uUp6g
And take a good look at the face rig.
It's a lot of manual, pixar-tier animation.
>>
>>268328785
They were really good, yeah. Shishamo was technically the main event, so Togetoge finished in pretty much half an hour which was a shamd. But they played all the music well, even without Soob, sadly. Nina is also tiny in person. Pretty much just like you'd imagine. And she does the Nina voice really well in person too. The 11s in front of me were impressed
>>
>>268329246
Makes sense for supporting the local scene. I'm envious.
