I love the stylistic choices they are going for. They are using it to showcase sequences that weren't in the manga or expand on those that exist, like Aoteru dashing to the farmers or Saki stopping the tax collector.
Don't know how far they can continue like this but I do hope they keep this quality to the end.

Not really the SMT news I was expecting this year but hey at least I get something close to it.
If people think I'm being schizo about it because I don't expect this general to read sub context nor even play SMT1 but the plot is pretty similar with the post apocolypse and reuniting japan.

Why would that Matter? I don't care about muh left right politics. Good fun stories are fun.
>>
I had no idea what to expect from this, but that was one of the strongest first episodes of the season.
Not surprised to hear to mangaka was an assistant to the Under Ninja guy. The art style is pretty similar, but it also shares some of the same borderline absurdist black comedy and a similar balancing act between depicting cruel faction politics matter-of-factly and humanizing both the perpetrators and the victims.
Picked the FUCK up.
>>
>>287270648
>Good fun stories are fun.
That's exactly what I'm asking for here. However, heavy-handed political commentary from someone who isn’t particularly qualified to speak on the subject doesn’t make for a very insightful or enjoyable read/watch. So which one is it going to be, fun or /pol/?
>>
>>287270411

He's supposed to be another "facts and logic" MC which would be fine but the problem is he isn't. They brutally killed a man in front of them for slightly offending that official but instead of telling his wife off he COMPLIMANTED her on fighting against the tax collector like he couldn't predict they would both be in danger. Like what where's his logic behind that? And it was hard to feel sorry for his wife after being the know all girlboss character who was obviously never before put into place. Dumbass wanted to instantly jump ten guys who just finished brutally killing a villager. Hopefully the other characters will be written more realistically.

Honestly, I don’t even understand what ticked all of you off. It’s like the mere notion of a show having a coherent story, instead of being an amalgamation of half-formed thoughts about the current political climate, is somehow insulting to you.

In any case, I actually watched the episode, and it turned out to be quite disappointing. It was just a series of unfortunate events involving paper-thin characters that neither set anything up nor amounted to anything. And thanks to the time skip, we still don’t know jack about our protagonist. This episode may as well have been scrolling text before the opening.

I already watched the episode and even posted my thought on it itt, and yet here you are still madposting about me. Given how you all supposedly liked the episode, shouldn’t you be discussing it?

What did you like about the episode? I didn't like the art style at first, but it kind of grew on me by the end, especially when they added some color in. Looked nice and soft.

Agree but I'm not hating on Orb, that show had its own style that completely worked in my opinion. The dark-dungeon-work-by-candlelight-in-secrecy direction was all completely intentional, and made the epiphany scenes that much more euphoric.

>>287281532

I'm usually not a fan of artsy direction in anime. Even mainstream shonens like JJK now are doing it and it's led to mixed results (Maki episode was awful, while Higurama and Sendai were great for example).

This episode it worked really well. I loved it. Great premiere and I hope the rest of the anime remains great.

That was a great first episode. The direction was really cool, a lot of interesting shots/cuts. The animation was also impressive for how detailed some of the linework was. I thought the protagonist and his wife were going to have a Napoleon/Josephine relationship but that was obviously cut short. I guess this will just be a revenge story of sorts, nothing wrong with that. I'm not sure how believable the overall premise is, but the idea of a total psychopath coming to power by backstabbing people, and then ruling with violence and intimidation, is at least realistic. The only think I didn't like was how it handled the credits with him mourning his wife - it felt rushed. I know nothing about the manga, but I have high hopes for this.
Also, I can't help but be reminded of Golden Kamuy, even though the story is completely different. It's probably just all the snow and the uniforms.
