New episode today.How do we feel about nu-Kaguya?
This guy being voiced by Banagher was not in my predictions.
Why she was sleeping for 1000 years, waiting for a dragon knight to appear, and not conquering Earth earlier?
>>282406414Who is Kaguya's new seiyuu?
>>282407437Ami Koshimizu.
Does anyone else think the animation for this episode to be really spotty?
>>282407617Though the animation itself was still spot-on, the character modeling has become WAY wonkier. A lot of it has to do with I suspect is Takeshi Maenami given too much free reign again in imposing his art style on his key frames.
Kaguya finally makes her appearance. That's 13 episodes ahead compared to the original anime. Since it will be episode 24 next week do you think they'll end the season and we wait for several months to proceed with the Kaguya arc. Or will they take a short break and continue the story?
>>282408275At least 6 month break as TV scheduling shows for the next 2 seasons the timeslot will be occupied by MHA and Ao no Miburo.
>>282408339Ascendance of a Bookworm is also in the lineup too, right? So the earliest would be summer next year?
Why does a kids show get away with giving a character such a highleg leotard?
>>282406414Built for rough anal.
>>282406414>>282409718
>>282409704Lotta nice hip bones this season.I like it.
Welp, it's inevitable at this point...
>>282410428I wish I got that version back when I watched the original Yaiba as a kid.
>>282410685Same here. Old Kaguya looked derpy compared to nu-version.
>>282406414>>282409704>>282410428>SexguyaI love evil women so much bros......
>>282407617The animation is fantastic, what you're noticing is the animators given free reign to be off-model in some cuts.
>>282406414Ok Kaguya is finally here. It's time to watch. Seriously I watched the old anime decades ago and episodes 20 onwards is where the show finally kicks off. Everything before that felt like filler.
>>282411966>Kaguya is finally here. It's time to watch.>Everything before that felt like filler.I felt the same.Will they adapt Yamata no Orochi arc and the rest of the manga?
>>282412181yes
>>282412202Nice. Orochi arc is my favorite.
>>282412181Yaiba is not popular in the west so it all boils down to Japan if they have enough sales or viewership.
>>282412440Then again, success in the west does not automatically mean season 2 for a lot of shows.TV ratings in Japan are decent enough to quell fears of cancellation at least.
Kaguya really surprised me as someone who knows nothing of the manga or original anime, I should have expected it though since so much Japanese entertainment is just Momotaro or Kaguya. Really fun episode with great animation but that could probably be said for most episodes. Sex with evil women.>>282410685>Made the leotard an even higher cutExtremely based, also her face is so much better here.
>>282406414Almost as hot as the proto-Naruto
We are Independence day now
>>282406414I JUST WANT MANGA TRANSLATIONS! WHEN IS THE NEW VOLUME!?
>>282406414Sexo?
>>282407617The visuals don't even compare to last week's episode but are still solid.

>>282417591>Naruto's Kaguyais breedable as fuck.
>>282412684I thought the next bad guy that people were talking about was going to be the dragon god based on the orb flashbacks. Was not expecting cathedral terra moon rabbits.
>>282414062>>282414094Nice design. Hyped for the next arc.
>>282411014Looking more smug is much better.
I watched the original 1993 series last year and have been reading Viz's releases as they come out (ignoring the fact that only one volume is out so far), and I have to say, I have a few minor issues with the new anime but I think it might genuinely be my gold standard for battle anime in terms of pacing and presentation.Obviously not every anime can have its level of quality, but I am continually shocked by how much fun I have every episode and how coherent its themes and narrative are.
>>282415689Bunnygirl outfits are on of the highest achievements of humanity.
Onimaru can count to potato.
>>282418979I just wish animation this good was more common.

>>282420091To be fair, they have enough common sense to keep a safe distance and are only there just in case Yaiba does need help.>>282407108One of the orb flashbacks did show that her forces did try to invade the Earth before, so it can be assumed that the Dragon God or the previous wielder was the one who repelled her.
>>282411014>derpydon't you dare.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOWG6vaecbI
>>282407108It kind of seemed like the awakening of Raijinken and Fujinken was part of some prophecy. So maybe the 1000 year nap was a compelled thing.
>>282422626Yeah, only fools think the new design is better.
>>282423646Thank you.
holy sex. what episode do I start with on the original anime for kaguya? I can't wait for the next season.
>>282424016Episode 35 or 36
>>282422626>>282423646Cope, oldfags
>>282424016We still got another episode, and we don't know how long the break will be.Wouldn't be surprised if Yaiba resumes in the next 6-12 months.
>>282419283WrongReverse bunny girl is
>>282424331>we don't know how long the break will beI thought it was supposed to be end of february.

EVIL RABBIT WOMAN SEXO
>>282406414sex
>>282424576Welp. I'm okay with it if it helps them deliver great animation/visuals.
>>282424598Older than Yaiba, younger than Musashi.
>>282425043Not really saying much as Musashi might as well be this universe's Methuselah.>>282425023WIT needs it if they are to make the constant sakuga sustainable.
>>282425165
HURR DURR HURR OLD IS BETTERFuck off oldfags
>>282425888this
>>282418979I like the original sword better than the new look. I don't mind it becoming a double edge straight sword. But I don't care for the new guard.
>>282413823>This scene was in next episode previewThe animators know what's important.
>>282426639She was the 80s 90s goonerbait
>>282424352You and your kind are a blight on humanity.
>>282418979It's the same studio that took a subpar-looking manga (Ousama Ranking) and turned it into a piece of art.
>>282411375They are both trash in different ways. But since it is an action scene, they are both fine I guess?
>>282407108Out of gas. She lost most of her power 1000 years ago after she got trapped in the body of a princess. She need time to recharge
I hope WIT can reuse some of the tracks from the original anime. I know there's copyright issues but the OST was pretty bangers. At least do some remix of them.https://youtu.be/7wxXPlkL1PQ?si=PDGf2fQaq-lDXBis
>>282427402I don't think that has ever happened, unless it's like Fate where the original was already an adaptation of something and they both take a track from the VN.
>>282426931>subpar-looking manga (Ousama Ranking)You still don't understand how art works
>>282423646>Yeah, only fools think the new design is betteYou're a retard. This entire anime remake is under the author Gosho Aoyama. The new design wouldn't pass if it didn't have his approval.
>>282427477Or better, bring back the OG anime's composer, or a composer with a similar forte/style for S2.
>>282427911The composer of the OG anime was Kohei Tanaka who's now 71 years old. Not sure if he's up to it or willing to remix the old soundtrack.
>>282428362IIRC he's still actively making soundtracks for other IPs. Any idea on who could anyone else be?
>>282414193>>282420663The fujo rabbits...
>>282425888This episode outdid the old version of it in every way possible, and that's something you can't say very often about remakes.
>>282427659Don't try to glorify something it is not, even the mangaka admitted he wasn't a good drawer
>introduce last minute final villainDon't wanna hear anybody complain about Naruto again.
>>282430021>Don't try to glorify something it is not, even the mangaka admitted he wasn't a good drawerThe art was perfect for that type of story, like an old story book
>>282406414It's pretty funny how Yaiba collected all the infinity stones, in this episode had his powers all increased exponentially and Onimaru can still fight him just because he trained with his air powers. Like even without this episodes power-up Yaiba really should've been able to deal with Onimaru if he is even close to his skill level.
>>282431054Last minute? Final Villain?
>>282407617>Does anyone else think the animation for this episode to be really spotty?Hell no
>>282427713Gosho is just an idiot now so it's understandable that he approved such a bad design (looks like an old hag)
>>282431054You got it all wrong.
>>282427713>This entire anime remake is under the author Gosho AoyamaAoyama's new designs are much weaker than his originals (I'm glad Yaiba didn't suffer the art decay Conan went through).
>>282431260Just some madarafag crying bitch tears.
>>282427402I prefer this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rp3VWNFBHM
>>282432154>no proper rips of the entire OSTSuffering.
>>282431732>I know better than the author
>>282431732You're a schizo or Mexican.The old Kaguya had an incredibly odd face and looked far older than the new one.
>>282431259Onimaru has been always a better fighter than Yaiba in a straight fight, Yaiba probably isn't even top 5 best fighters in the series, his magic swords really carry him hard.
>>282432653Yeah, the tournament arc is one of my favorite.
>>282432653Which makes Onimaru running away in Episode 11 make even less sense, when I think about it. If he's a better fighter than Yaiba and the latter is outmatched no matter what, then he can still win even with a broken sword.
>>282432717>Which makes Onimaru running away in Episode 11 make even less senseOnimaru's sword was broken.
>>282433468I think you missed my >even with a broken swordpart.Shonen logic dictates that desperate warriors fight with broken weapons and win. Even with the sword broken and assuming that he can't use the Fujin's power with it being broken(and take note, it's still at a sufficient length to fight with, it's not like it was broken at the stump), he can still overpower Yaiba at that moment, who is already at a disadvantage with the Raijin sphere taken, if he really is leagues above Yaiba as a swordman.
>>282433564>I think you missed my>>even with a broken swordYou do not bring a knife to a gun fight.
>>282433646You didn't even bother to read the rest of my reply.Anyways, I'll just spell out my main argument that I don't buy the "Yaiba is weaksauce compared to Onimaru and is just being carried by the magic swords" narrative because of what happened in Episode 11. Also, I do not expect that Yaiba will just aurafarm his way into beating Onimaru, but that "weaksauce Yaiba" narrative also ignores the fact that the latter also seemed just as exhausted as the former in this duel round.
>>282433776If the current fight drags out longer Yaiba would have won since he found a way to neutralize Onimura strongest technique and the Ryujinken is much stronger than the Fujinken. The talk about Yaiba not being that strong comes much later in the story, even in the final arc he still has trouble beating Jubei in a fair fight, and straight up gets stomped by Okita..Also the anime changed the event order but the fight with Kojiro in the past also happened much later, after the Kaguya arc, and he still couldn't beat him without Raijinken.
>>282432653Yaiba beat him before he turned demon, that "ackshually, you can't bite because our fight on top of trucks while chucking logs was a sanctioned kendo match" shit was pure cope.
>>282434267Yaiba didn't win in the manga though. He slammed into the road sign before he could land a hit on Onimaru.
>>282434194>If the current fight drags out longer Yaiba would have won since he found a way to neutralize Onimura strongest technique and the Ryujinken is much stronger than the FujinkenSaying Ryujinken is much stronger than the Fujinken" kind of contradicts this >>282431259 which insinuates that the Ryujinken is useless against Onimaru because Yaiba is too weaksauce to even use it properly.The last story arc is not relevant at this point since that doesn't really involve magic swords anymore, and desu all this talk about "weaksauce Yaiba with or without magic swords" felt disingenuous to me due to how this Yaiba vs Onimaru duel was presented.
>>282406414>manfaceyikes...
Old Kaguya's voice actor is Rika Fukami, who also voiced Minako Aino (Sailor Venus) in Sailor Moon.New Kaguya's voice actor is Ami Koshimizu, who also voiced Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) in Sailor Moon Crystal.Is it a coincidence that both of them were voice actors in the Sailor Moon series?
>>282431054She not even the second the last villain. After she we got the mole people lead by Not!Piccolo then an evil dragon who is actually the entire Japan
>>282434485Old Sayaka is Kotono Mitsuishi aka Sailor Moon herself. Definitley not a coincidence.
>>282434520>then an evil dragonYamato no Orochi does nothing but float in the sky. It's literally a background stage.
>>282425888See >>282434457
>>282434457>>282434791Haven't seen a mature woman that doesn't look like a loli's head transplanted onto a big tittied thicc body before, huh?
>>282434809That's literally Kojiro crossdressing.
>>282434386>Yaiba is too weaksauce to even use it properlyHe doesn't know how to use the sword properly till like the last battle against Kaguya.
>>282435165>ignores "only six faces"anon.....
>>282435212>He doesn't know how to use the sword properly till like the last battle against Kaguya.I thought the subject was about Yaiba vs Onimaru, why the sudden goalpost shift towards Kaguya? Of course Kaguya would wipe the floor with everyone, she's a goddess.
>>282435165Look closely again...Look just like a 40 year old whore
>>282434141did Kubo design some of the swords?
>>282437062That's not helping.
>>282407617Animation's fine. The faces and proportions are really off though.
>>282438727You know faces and proportions are part of animation, right?
>>282407617The animation itself was great, animators were going off model as they pleased though.
>>282438727>The faces and proportions are really off though.Is stretching and Rubber animation is kino
>>282428362>71 years oldThat's spry by Japanese standards, he's got another decade of composing in him, easy.
>>282441752They make it look like a cartoon for children.
>>282441817are you absolutely retarded or something
>>282441817What the hell do you think you're watching?
>>282406414I'm going to need some time to get used to her new glowing red eyes and different eyeliner but I don't dislike it. If anything I just miss when anime were able to have memorable music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwFzmeumu8g>>282428362>The composer of the OG anime was Kohei TanakaWait, really? Holy shit, why is every memorable anime OST in my mind his work? GunBuster, GaoGaiGar, G Gundam, One Piece, even the original Yaiba anime I watched as a kid. This guy is a treasure.
>>282442262Anime
How do you think the season will end before we wait for several months or years for Kaguya arc to continue? Probably Kaguya rapidly grows old and abducts young girls to steal their youth. I wonder if Yamato will be one of her victims.
>>282445725>we wait for several months or years for Kaguya arc to continue?At most 1 year
>>282445725The season will likely end at Onimaru getting petrified and his army moving in with Yaiba
>>282406414
>>282445725Same as Return of the Jedi.
>>282406414That's a man.
I hope they do justice on this one next, its the most memorable in the 1990 anime
>>282409704It's a necessary component to convince parents to watch the show alongside their kids.
>>282454569best girl has been in the show since episode 1
>>282453053What didn't they do justice with the Maouken in the OG anime?
