Doga Kobo's brand new anime that spent 7 years in dev hell finally debuts today.It even looks like it should be an anime from 7 years ago.
>>289250140>spent 7 years in dev hellThis kind of thing can also happen in anime?!
>>289250680
>>289251385I mean aside from the war in Ukraine causing Youjo Senki to be delayed for years, it's the first time I've heard of an anime getting stuck in development hell.The only other ones I could think of were movies like the Princess Principal movie and the Madoka movie.
>>289251784>the war in Ukraine causing Youjo Senki to be delayed for yearswhere the fuck did you hear thatthat's not what happened at all
>>289251784Even aside from every other project getting year long delays because of Covid, it definitely does happen.
>Subs will be delayed 6 hours.Dead on arrival.
>>289250680What it usually means is the director or ip holder having an idea for a long time but not having funds/studio available. And then you spend 2-3 years on actual production.
>>289250140This is the last title from Project Anima, the same anime original contest project that greenlighted Sakugan and MahoNare beforehand.Let's see if this one ended up being decent at best but I also doubt it given the large cast and the contest project's past titles.
>wacky teenagers with superpowers do stuffWe want ... the Danganronpa audience, maybe?
>>289252901proof?
>>289252901Just for this week?
>>289252933I really don't see that. It looks like they're going to end up working for some organization? They've got uniforms
>>289252933Seems more Yozakura Quartet than Danganronpa
>>289250140I like the artstyle/character design, and is Dogakobo, so first AOTS contented here.
>>289252933>>289253129This looks, sounds and feels more like Walmart World Trigger, actually
Pretty generic nothingburger about teenagers with their abilities, but I want to see where this goes. Maybe it's the character designs or the way they interact. These type of shows can go full retard easily, it's also a pseudo anime original too.Apparently they should fight """terrorists""" but they didn't in ep 1.Dogakobo aren't doing their best with this, but it's not a stillslop.
Subs out.
weird lips.
Actual show for children
>A phone that folds THREE (3) times.not possible, Japan.
Is it just me or is this extremely bland? Everything about it from the plot to the character design feels so pointless and uninspired.
>>289253937What even is the plot of the first episodes? Just random kids playing games?
>>289253980Clearly there's going to be some kind of dramatic twist (if there isn't then this show is going to be really shit), but the problem with that setup is that usually the dramatic twist happens at the end of the first episode to get people hooked instead of in the second episode, and the throwaway introduction which gets discarded when the twist happens has to be at least kind of decent so people don't switch off beforehand.
literally who are these characters is this some mobile game?
in awe at the size of this hair
>>289254108Not even close. They looked more like characters from some third rate shounen manga that's on the verge of being axed after a few volumes.
>>289253905anon...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei_Mate_XThttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Z_TriFold
>>289254194>shounen manga that's on the verge of being axed after a few volumes.Black Torch airs on Saturdays.
>starting off with a superpowered game of capture the flagokay
>>289254250black torch WAS axed
>>2892531522002 or 2013?
>>289254150We want the Shimarin audience.
Wow, this was terrible. A bloated cast of boring, uninteresting characters and a plot that feels like it was taken straight from a shitty mobile game. I'm shocked Doga Kobo is behind this series, because given the production values on display, you would think it was made by a much lesser studio. I wonder if they put all their eggs in the Though I Am an Inept Villainess basket.
this is kind of bafflingthe premise feels like it should be a superpowered delinquent series not whatever this is so far
The OST feels World Trigger-y.
>>289251784I thought Youjo Senki was delayed because of writing difficulties. There's supposed to be a documentary about season 2's production coming soon.
>>289254623the Ukraine war thing is bullshit
reminds me a bit of mecha-ude
>>289255061I had a flashback to that too except it was better.
what happens to her vag00?
The genre is listed as Strategy Game so is this an adaptation of some DS/Switch game?
>>289254623it was delayed because NUT wanted to do a couple of originals first (deca-dence, negaposi angler) and got wrangled into doing bullbuster and the blue giant movie
>>289255514Fishe too strong.
>>289255509It's supposed to be an original, I think that genre refers to the games they're playing for 'turf'

I DONT BREAK bros, is this our show of the season?
>>289255634>flexing animationWhere? Certainly not in that trailer you linked
At least it's not green?
>>289255841is it oranj because it mixes with their period blood?
Did anyone like this? I don't know how to feel after the first episode but gave me the feeling that it would end up like Si-Vis and go nowhere
>show full male ass cheek x2>won't even show a smidgen if cleavage Yup, into trash it goes.
>>289255962>if cleavage of cleavage*
Boring shit
i like the seiyuu for the scientist weirdoI'll find a better anime with her in it
>this is a boyGOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!!!
>>289255841Red & brown algae is even more toxic than green.
i watched the other series from the other studios for the hell of itthis one i just want to stop watchingi think all of them had at least some intent to be stories for kidsi'll give it one more ep while wondering why i bother to punish myself
OK, OK.... I AM curious about that...
>>289255466I'm guessing everyone's powers come from parts of their bodies that were lost/damaged by meteorite fragments, and the Mebius Dust is alien nanomachines that rebuilt their bodies. Stella's Lams Parts are her entire lower body rather than just her legs, so I think you'll have to settle for her mouth.
>>289256594>the Mebius Dust is alien nanomachines that rebuilt their bodiesImagine the graygoojobs.
>>289255749Compared to most other series this season
>>289255407Yeah, I didn't like Mecha Ude that much but it was better than whatever this is.
>>289255934It was alright? But fitting an original, large cast, sci-fi, superhero, sports anime's story into 12 episodes is going to be difficult. I hope it gets more than one cour but they appear to be moving too quickly with future sight boy's story already.
>>289256235why are you lying
>>289256086Did the subtitles get the scientist's pronoun wrong or is he just incredibly girly?
>>289255841ORANGE
There was a writing contest for kid content or something. Three winners got chosen and then shekels were given to studios. It was Satelight, JC, and now Doga. They wanted something tied to game genre and here you go.
>>289256329Is the MC's boyfriend going to be the big bad?
>>289254406>I'm shocked Doga Kobo is behind this series, because given the production values on display, you would think it was made by a much lesser studioI can tell you haven't seen many doga kobo shows
>>289256783Seems like a boy to me anyway
>>289256818The companies that chose wanted something tied to game I mean, the studios were just pulled in.
>>289256086voiced this other qti knew it was familiar
>>289256818Looks like JC Staff got a bootleg LWA and Satelight got a mining mecha series. I might have to check out the Satelight one.
>>289257013Also the cute biker hag in Mono.
It's Mebin' time.
>>289256818>>289256867Only Mebius Dust was chosen for kid/game category, Sakugan was sci-fi/action while Mahonare was fantasy/isekai from what I remembered
>>289256782I wish I was. It's straight from the official website.
>>289257134アラキに執着する、見た目は幼女の少年。A boy who looks like a little girl, and is obsessed with Araki.
Maria drew the short straw when Mother was handing out powers.
>>289256235
>>289257020>mining mecha seriesIf it's the series I'm thinking of, then don't waste your time. Not even a bratty 5head loli could save Sakugan from being painfully mediocre.
>>289257020listen to >>289257276
>>289257197are you fucking kidding me
>>289256796RESCUE
>>289257276>>289257305Shame. The 6.5/10 on MAL made me think it might be an underappreciated gem.
>>289257526Unfortunately it was completely forgettable. Plot was rather formulaic with an incredibly dull "payoff".
>>289251810>where the fuck did you hear thatpretty sure someone on /r/eddit said it
>>289256594eyes kun is blind? he has that claw thing thoughbitch has no legs?hair girl is bald?shoot lost fingers?hands has none?armorkun is paralyzed?
picked up 46 shows this seasonthis one is a pre-dropsorry bros
>>289257899Surely you can drop one shoujo for this
>>289257789If you mean the guy who could see the future, the card said his Lams Part was his forehead (presumably his frontal lobe, since it's not visible). There appears to be more to him though, possibly as the result of Mother being able to connect to his brain.
>>289253980You know I was really expecting it to be way more X-men like
>>289258068I picked up the cinderella one today, not a chance
>>289255934>>289256759It was okay but I feel like there's some important information that's missing. The kids all play their game at night but what's it like during the day with normal society? Are they the only ones with powers? How are they viewed by regular people? What happens if they get busted? Wat happens when they run out of juice? If this is going to be powered teens competing in a turf war like Jet Set Radio I'm down for that but they sure seem awfully cordial with their rivals. What's it mean to them to have turf?
>>289259409it is simply the first episode, so let's hope they give out more answers later
>>289260237Well I'm not expecting them to explain the mysteries. I want to get a sense of who the characters and world are.
This shit is so ass, will be watching only because of my hair fetish.
>>289253905Needy Girl had one too. Why are 11s advertising trifolds now?
I want to see where the robo legs stop
Nope, this just doesn't look like it could go anywhere interesting. I will check out threads for a couple of weeks, but really it's as this guy >>289254406 said: the cast is unreasonably bloated, the background is boring, and production values don't make up for that.
>>289260743I think it wants to be an emotional coming of age story about the kids wanting to go outside again kinda like your standard sports anime but with a clandestine punk vibe and superpowers thrown in, at least based on the intro, but it just doesn't seem like it's doing a good job at it. And I don't see the transition from teen angst at being stuck in the city playing illegal games to the "real" plot about the MC being mind controlled in his sleep, having a demon inside him, and spreading the evil alien dust going well. I mean it's neat that they justify him being weak as him spending all his powers at night but meh, why even is his "power" foresight if his real power is whatever that monster thing is.
it's a stand
>>28926113730% of shonen powers at minimum are functionally stands.
>>289259409We'll presumably get answers to all of those as the series goes on. This first episode just gave a brief overview of the world, the characters and their abilities.>What's it mean to them to have turf?Hopefully nothing. The game seems to be something they came up with to pass the time and let off steam, since they're not allowed to leave the city. Building up too much dust power is probably uncomfortable.
>>289260650>>289255466It looks like they don't, but we can find out exactly how much of her body is missing if they give us another bath scene. The two boys with replacement arms lost them at the shoulder.
UNDERSTAND! UNDERSTAND!UNDERSTAND! UNDERSTAND!THE CONCEPT OF LOVE!
Getting some Boss Baby vibes from this one. Also I feel like starting your show with the clunkiest exposition dump imaginable is not a good sign of things to come.
>>289262715>Getting some Boss Baby vibes from this oneThe fuck does that even mean. You're a retard.
>>289253152That is an insult to YZK, this show was bland as fuck, there was no hook.
>>289262715Isn't this the brother of that one guy in the Blue Exorcist?
>>289250140>new anime>feels entirely like a s2how does this even happen?
A Mother that's a crystal, like some sort of Mothercrystal...
KEK what
what the fuck this is just cheating
Do they ever get around to killing each other? I'd be on board for that.
I think I'd at least have liked an episode to know why limiting their powers is an issue for them. Infodump aside this kind of feels like an episode 2.
>>289265413>this kind of feels like an episode 2I've been getting this a lot from many anime this season
is this the ghost concert of the season?
I do think she's cute. I want to see her struggle with her disability. Or do sick grind rails blasting sick electro pop.
>>289265413They've got a limited amount of Mebius power before they need to recharge. If their power runs out completely, I wouldn't be surprised if their prosthetic shuts down. What I'm wondering is why the government lets these potentially highly dangerous teenagers run around freely within their zone. Are they seeing if they can be trusted to not misuse their powers? Was there an event that led to them setting up the zones?
>>289255746>>289262715Ok I'll give it a shot
>>289265617>why the government lets these potentially highly dangerous teenagers run around freely within their zoneThey don't. For one they're sealed in. Which means people are probably also sealed out. But it also really seemed like they were trying to avoid detection.
>>289264995Sex with this chick in particular (and drill hair).
>>289265587*rolls toward u*
>>289264995>flight>complete invisibilitycomplete bull shit
>>289266952Looked like a teleport to me.
So we're just gonna ignore that guy is a doge
>>289267034yeah
>>289267014That's even more busted
>>289267034Who? Uh, sure.
>>289267034What?
>>289267690>>289267415Absolute newfags
>>289267727Calm down NAFO fag.
>>289267034Why was only one animal affected?
メビウス is Moebius, not Mebius. Who's responsible for this misromanization, and where can I complain?
>>289267936the nips
>>289267936Mebius a poor translation. Mebius Maybelline
>>289267968It's not even a translation. It's a transliteration.
Bros I miss anime originals that are actually fun to discuss here, last one was Mayonaka Punch and that was two years ago or whatever. I feel like originals recently have been really boring, if you're gonna make it bad at least make it schizo like Gekidol or Magical Destroyers so it's still fun to talk about weekly.
>>289268938don't forget towa
>>289268971her show was bad. the last good original was necronomico
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2xW-XgDHXwwell the second trailer certainly looks more exciting than this first episode
>>289269018necronomico was mehthe last good original was milky subway
>>289268938We have curcus original.
>>289269176the threads are a shitshow right now, same with lara
>>289269087I mean it could just be a bad first impression. They call it a three episode rule for a reason. I'm not really turned off so much I just don't really know what kind of show this is trying to be.
>>289269194lara and circus are yurikino tho?
>289269397
>>289269087>Dog can fly by wagging his tail like a helicopter 10/10 AOTS
Her robot legs are so peculiar.
>>289269606they remind me of something I can't place my finger on
>>289269816reminds me of nobunagun.
>>289269836A little bit yea. I can see that. Also Respect for the Dead Man!
