>>23796046Fuu sex!
more hentai at least
It will be shit, like everything else in the world is
Ayane Sakura's big bitch energy voice as Hikaru feels very out of place.
>>23796046Discuss the boy himself.
Looks great but did they really have to go with the fate/madoka music? Feels too modern for rayearth
>>23796110Have they revealed his new VA yetI'm guessing Tsudaken or Yamadera or some almost nameless new guy they're trying to push at the latest hotness
>>23796118Male VAs are weird compared to female VAs. TsudaKen was a 20 year veteran before they randomly started pushing him into everything.
>>23796128>>23796118Is it bad for me that I only really know Tsudaken as Kaiba?
>>23796046Hopefully the Rune Gods will do more than just sword clashes this time.
>>23796046So it is a tv series, I assumed it was gonna be a movie as the manga is quite short
Nu-Fuu's voice actress.
Hikaru's new voice actress.
After Grendizer U.I have low expectations
>>23796204Considering that it's a very iconic role for (and to) him from a very popular series, not really
>>23796204I recalled he said that Kaiba role saved his career back then when he had trouble getting jobs.
>>23796214Exactly, new productions in this day and age almost make a point to make things more shit for the investors.Make it as cheap and crappy as possible in the most inexpensive way possible it charge the maximum for licensing and broadcasting rights.
>>23796209I feel like I'm the only that dislikes her voice, which kind of sucks because she's in fucking everything.
>>23796212Doesn't even voice tomboys. Such a miscast.
>>23796046>>23796246Hikaru's pre-reboot voice actress for reference.
>>23796242No, definitely not alone there. She's just not a talented actress, she basically is always has that vibe of "just reading off a script."Apparently she's training an AIslop model off her voice and my first thought was, "that one will be on-brand for her acting, at least."
>>23796251>and my first thought was,Who asked?
>>23796254No one but I was interested to know.
>>23796246>Doesn't even voice tomboysWho knows, knows.
>>23796046Yuki Kajiura is doing the music for this?Like, there's no way that isn't Yuki Kajiura music, right?
>>23796118>>23796128>inb4 Takeuchi Ryouta
>>23796246Natsumi?
>>23796268Yeah it's Kajiura, but she's co-composing with two other composers. The two tracks from the trailer are definitely all Kajiura tho.
Umi is my wife
It's just pointless
>>23796251>she basically is always has that vibe of "just reading off a script."I thought she was great as Ernie from Knights and Magic to be honest.
>>23796049Yet it's Hikaru who's the Sexual Tyrannosaur.
>>23796415You watched Knights and Magic, your opinion is invalid
>>23796110Fuck this jobber, the Autozam boys is where it's at
>>23796430I watch everything that gets added to SRW
Duel status: Raped and castrated.
>>23796587Sad but true.
https://twitter.com/rumirumi_81pro/status/2037842095126552620Umi's new voice actress in AnimeJapan 2026.
>>23796046>>23796110nu-Zagato has far more circles on his armor for some reason
>>23796046I hate this trailer because Caldina hasnt been revealed yet. even tho she is just gonna appear for exactly one episode and like 5 secs of the previous one.also yeah, part 2 and all dat, but I prefer her part 1 look more.
>>23796233Urusei Yatsura and Ranma are fine quality-wise, though. Captain Tsubasa is really good.
>>23796110TRAGIC. He and his princess girlfriend deserved better.Lantis was right about tearing the pillar system if it caused only tragedies.
>>23796046Damn, I was really hoping for a sequel. Not because I actually thought this series needed a sequel but because the original is already perfect and it needs a remake even less than it needs a sequel.My Predictions:* Only 12 episodes long, and only covers the first story arc (studio will be open to second cour for the other story arc but only if the first cour can beat frieren's numbers).* mashins will be obviously CGI to the point that they don't even try to hide it* Youtube dumbasses will complain that the "isekai'd into a video game" plot device is boring and over-used even though Rayearth did it first* /a/ dumbasses will complain that there isn't enough waifu bait of these 14 year old girls who were designed to appeal to twelve year-old girls during the clinton era.* There will not be any yuri per se but they will keep hinting that the kids *might* be lesbos because it worked so well for WfM.* If we do get the second story arc the two sexy arab sisters will be redesigned to not be total sluts. It's not going to be something ridiculous like a burkha but they're definitely not going to be walking around in their bras 24/7 anymore.
>>23797656A sequel is impossible if the manga doesn't get one.
>>23797656This is going to absolutely breakneck.
>>23797656>the original is already perfectthe second half was garbage and the whole thing was poorly animated outside of stock footage (and even the stock footage definitely wasn't Sunrise's best). Actually difficult to think of a mecha series more deserving of a remake. Rayearth is exactly the kind of anime that should get remade. It wasn't that good, but it had potential to be good. I was somewhat enjoying myself during the first half. If they just stick to the manga and don't do the anime second half shit, that's a valid reason for it to exist too.
>>23797687>(and even the stock footage definitely wasn't Sunrise's best).Wait, I thought TMS was Rayearth's animation studio.
>>23797687Oh piss off, this is just going to be a boring shot for shot retread of the manga and you know it. The anime was better than Deus Ex Makona.
>>23797656>studio will be open to second cour for the other story arc but only if the first cour can beat frieren's numbers1.- Frieren is essentially dead since the author defected from Shonen Sunday due to the whole pedo scandal. there MIGHT be still anime, but it wont last, the project is dead, Frieren is dead (unfortunately), Rayearth will do fine.2.- you are seriously overestimating how utterly short the manga is, both parts fit a dual cour season perfectly. they will get those cours easily.>mashins will be obviously CGI to the point that they don't even try to hide itFair enough.>Youtube dumbasses will complain that the "isekai'd into a video game" plot device is boring and over-used even though Rayearth did it firstThats the dumbasses problem, not the show's>/a/ dumbasses will complain that there isn't enough waifu bait of these 14 year old girls who were designed to appeal to twelve year-old girls during the clinton era.i refer you to my previous answer, and the designs are just like the previous anime.>There will not be any yuri per se but they will keep hinting that the kids *might* be lesbos because it worked so well for WfM.ok, this one i dont get... huh?>If we do get the second story arc the two sexy arab sisters will be redesigned to not be total sluts.Did you SAW the trailer, right? we had the naked transformation scenes, with im sure even less coverage, and im sure they didnt drew nipples in the original anime either.And also, you are saying that the Chizeta sisters look too slutty? have you seen Caldina!?(both parts) i would worry more about her than them, but again, if they did got the naked stuff, i see it unlikely for costume censorship.
>>23797700>1.- Frieren is essentially dead since the author defected from Shonen Sunday due to the whole pedo scandal. there MIGHT be still anime, but it wont last, the project is dead, Frieren is dead (unfortunately), Rayearth will do fine.Frieren is maybe the most popular anime in Japan in like a decade.
>>23797703yes, but the manga is now dead since its gonna be impossible for the author to find another publisher, all thats left of Sousou no Frieren is whats left of the anime. the Manga will NEVER continue... and just to be perfectly clear, i DO hate that because i DO like Frieren.
>>23797705Also they already announced Season 3.
>>23797700>the author defected from Shonen Sunday due to the whole pedo scandalQRD?
>>23797703As someone who's been living under a rock, what makes Frieren so popular?
>>23797711Nothing in particular, anime is just extremely mainstream nowadays and videogame rpg type fantasy is popular with normalfags.
>>23797710There is this thing called Google. You should try it sometime.>https://x.com/animeupdates/status/2027830020823978362
>>23797711>>23797717from that. a good chunk of authors who had manga published in Sunday and Magazine, including Frieren's author, decided to stop sending their work there and defected...
>>23797711>what makes Frieren so popular?It's just SLIGHTLY thoughtful enough in present ideas that SOUND deep but it's also still just basic bitch shounen shit. >Oh it's about dealing with loss and time and also here's 9 episodes of a license exam tournament It's idiotic shit that morons think is clever
>>23797708and that will be the last part, period.
>>23797715It's as much of an RPG fantasy as Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones is.>>23797711It's honestly at its heart a sincere, beautiful, and sentimental story about the passage of time and realizing that we can't relive the past. It is easily my favorite anime in the past decade.
>>23797719I don't like shonen and I love Frieren.
>>23797721>It's as much of an RPG fantasy as Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones isYeah remember that part where Gandalf wanted to kill the demon lord so he throws a pentagram from his staff? Or how about the part where Arya Stark had to be a member of the assassin's guild but she didn't have the correct paperwork so she had to do a side quest from the mango seller?
>>23797700>1.- Frieren is essentially dead since the author defected from Shonen Sunday due to the whole pedo scandal.They didn't. They left the online platform, MangaONE, not the physical Shounen Sunday. That said, Frieren was on break since last year anyway due to health concerns of the author.
>>2379772390% of Lord of the Rings is side quests. Everything that isn't Frodo destroying the ring is technically a side quest.
Gandalf leveled up once. That makes Lord of the Rings an RPG.
>>23797729>90% of Lord of the Rings is side questsThis is your brain on shitty videogame shonen.
>>23797745Dude I am 100% with you.
>>23797727dude. its still part of ShoPro. you really think they are just gonna go 'oh, ok, you left one of our platforms due to the scandal but we will still let you in the other'? that is not how it works, she is not working with them, PERIOD.
>>23797705You're a faggot and a retard.
>>23797711It has a high midwit and normie appeal.
>>23797761I feel this way about Code Geass.
>>23796110I wanna discuss Lantis.
>>23797763You've probably haven't watched either of them.
>>23797768I dropped Code Geass. I at least tried.
>>23797722well you're an idiot
>>23797750Rumiko Takahashi and several other authors also left MangaOne and are still working with Shounen Sunday. It's a different editorial department.Shougakugan freaking owns Shueisha. No one is going to completely break ties with it.
>>23796110Was it selfish on both parties?
>>23796046I never watched the original...
Looks fine to me.
>>23797843well you should. It's really good.
>>23797841Yes it was>>23797876Season 2 is so fucking boring and drawn out. They stretched story segments out to slow down for manga release.
>>23796046you hate everything Duel
>>23797700>Frieren is essentially deadi was being facetious, i didn't mean that it would literally have to defeat frieren. I think they'll give it unreasonably high expectations which it can't meet because it's too niche. The only people who are genuinely excited for this show are /m/-fans and the CLAMP fanbase.>you are seriously overestimating how utterly short the manga is, both parts fit a dual cour season perfectly. they will get those cours easily.Not sure how to parse this but if you're saying that part 1 and part 2 will each be two-cours like they were 30 years ago I seriously doubt it. The original series had a lot of filler (I don't mean that pejoratively) which wasn't in the manga. Part I of the manga literally has a flying platform uber the girls between mashins which was destroyed early on in the anime so they'd have more opportunity for filler arcs.I'll grant that Part II could be 2-cour even without the nova/debonair arc but they still won't do it. Khara's Gundam couldn't even get 2 cour.>ok, this one i dont get... huh?once again im being more facetious than literal but I'm predicting that like this show will get derailed with pandering to yurifags like WfM. However I also think that, like WfM, they're too pussy to actually do anything that definitively makes the girls lesbos so in the end we'll all agree it was a disappointment but we won't agree on *why* it was a disappointment>And also, you are saying that the Chizeta sisters look too slutty?No they're actually the perfect amount of slutty, my point is that they're too slutty for a shoujo anime in 2026 and therefore it will be changed.>have you seen Caldina!?(both parts) i would worry more about her than themokay, her too. also wasn't she the third bastard-sister of the chizetas? I could be misremembering, it's been awhile....>if they did got the naked stuffthat's a fair point, it did not occur to me that they're still naked for the magic girl transforms.
>>23797656>the original is already perfect>Really bad animation and pacing>Shitty second half>Once you know about the TWEEST it pretty much ruins everything People who like the original just have nostalgia for it its far from perfect and a remake could improve immensely on it but just from the PVs it looks like a 1:1 remake which is a shame because there's not a lot to look forward to it.>>23796209>>23796212>>23797094A new cast was a expected at this point because dear god anyone who played SRW T and 30 will tell you that old cast just can't do the voices anymore well except for Fuu's actress but Umi is completely gone now. Pretty solid choices though I agree that Takahashi is overexposed.
>>23797843>>23797876
>>23797900>They stretched story segments out to slow down for manga release.Isn't that usually why a lot of anime, especially back then, would either have filler like DBZ and Naruto or just have an original ending like FMA and Akame Ga Kill.
>>23797962my favorite part of that localization was when I sold it for just under four digits
>>23797687>>23797951>muh bad animationeven if i agreed with this, what in the history of the last 10-15 years of /m/ content has you convinced it won't just be stiff CGI animations made by people who don't understand what inertia is?
>>23797969I think it was done by the same people who localized the old Lunar games.
>>23797970people who think shows are better animated just because they're newer irritate me greatly. I especially don't trust how the direction is going to be which is a more important issue.
>>23797951Funnily enough, my favorite character Takahashi voices is Tomo. Just because she's so different to any of her other characters like Megumin and Ai.
>>23797970Doesn't really matter. Most of the fight scenes in the original were slideshows, literally anything would be an improvement. This includes the on foot-shit you know, and there's no CGI shown for the character models yet. Stiff CGI would still be an improvement if we see the mecha actually move this time.
>>23797976
>>23797979>Doesn't really matter. Most of the fight scenes in the original were slideshows, literally anything would be an improvementYeah and these are all gonna be bright flashes or the camera zooming around like it's on cocaine. At least the slide shows were legible. So NO. It won't be an improvement.
>>23797944>if you're saying that part 1 and part 2 will each be two-cours like they were 30 years ago I seriously doubt itno, no. i meant you can fit both parts in 24 eps. total, it is a considerably short manga. they arent gonna do filler, if they are doing this remake, they are gonna follow the manga strictly.>also wasn't she the third bastard-sister of the chizetas? I could be misremembering, it's been awhile...Can't say i have ever heard that before... maybe thats from Tsubasa chronicle or something? i know Caldina cameo'd there as a bartender.
>>23797984if you think heavily stylized facial expressions constitute poor animation you're really not going to like Rayearth because Hikaru inexplicably grows a pair of cat ears and a tail every time she does something cute, and that happens in both the anime and the manga.
>>23796118OnoD to keep the Jotaro reference
>>23797705>its gonna be impossible for the author to find another publisher[citation needed]Mangaka moving magazines/publishers is nothing out of the ordinary. >>23797710They are talking rubbish. The hiatus was announced in October and it's because of the mangaka's health:>https://myanimelist.net/news/73388773>The editorial department of Shounen Sunday announced on Wednesday that Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) manga will be going on hiatus starting from the next issue.>The notice stated that the decision was made after considering the health of both creators, Yamada and Abe, and that the manga's serialization pace and publication format will be adjusted moving forward. The statement also mentioned that the two authors will continue working on the series while receiving support from the editorial team, and that details regarding its return schedule will be announced in future issues of Shounen Sunday.
>>23797841No, Mokona's a nigger for creating a rigged game that made everyone suffer, that's the entire point of the manga, Lantis and Emeraude did nothing wrong.
>>23798441*Zagato, my bad
where are the bots nigga
>>23796246One of her biggest roles is Musashi from FGO.
>>23798217Yes, she announced that hiatus because of her health in october, but the defection, A MASS DEFECTION, mind you. It happened just last month.Those are two different events.
>>23797721>It's as much of an RPG fantasy as Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones is.It has a class system and ice cream parfaits and onsens and shit
>>23797845Whoever in the SRW writing team that thought 'the magic knights REALLY look up to the most insane, murderous and unstable robot pilots in history (except for Benkei)' was a good idea, totally deserves a raise, whatever they paid him, was not enough.
>>23798664>>23797845
>>23796046I only wonder, how will the LatAm dub will fare this time?
>>23796249Was she considered too old to do both Genki high pitch Hikaru and hot blood scream Hikaru? Yet they won't let Masako Nosawa rest in to the sunset.
>>23797463>Those reboots>FineHa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
>>23797687Huh, hey stupid, Rayearth was TMS.
>>23797700What pedo scandal? Do fucking lefty $ö¥pod influencers now rumor mill in Japan too?
>>23797710His ass, he is just making it the fuck out!
>>23798653That doesn't explain the pedo smearing some leftist faggot is puling now.
>>23797718>>23797717What the hell does this even imply about pedo scandals you disingenuous pissant?
>>23797700Hey pussbag, you better explain and show ACTUAL EVIDENCE of the whole pedo allegations and not just link to unrelated stuff, otherwise FUCK RIGHT OFF!
>>23797843>>23797962>Working DesignsKill yourself!
>>23798825I just remembered the Latin American dub changed their names. Though I don't know if that will carry over. Did Grendizer U's French dub or sub use the old Goldorak names like Alcor for Koji. I know the comic did since that was made in France.
>>23798843>NOT THE ONLY COMPANY THAT WOULD EVER SO MUCH AS LOOK AT ANY OF THESE GAMES! Fuck off you cock sucking under age weeb faggot.
>>23798441>This is canon according to the manga mokona.
>>23798848Hey, we spot the tranny.
>>23798856brain rot.
>>23797944On the /u/fag concept it's likely given how the industry is completely saturated with self-indulgent otaku who make things purely for themselves. Like I don't care about the otome parts personally but I also can appreciate that the intended demographic of Rayearth does, and most likely the staff on the reboot don't and would rather downplay those romances in favor of playing up stuff like Nova or just throwing in yuribait scenes between the main cast.
>>23798834Said 'leftist' here.The link at >>23797717 explains the situation.>One of the authors at MangaONE was a child molester, he was working under a pseudonym, Shopro knew that all along and they defended it.>Once the word got to social media, a dozen authors defected from the platform, Frierens author included.I NEVER said Frierens author was the one behind the scandal.
>>23797284It's closer to the original manga design of Zagato's headpiece.It was a dastardly complex thing, so the original anime probably simplified it to make it easier to animate, esp. while changing angles.Which is FAR less of an issue with modern technology where an artist can just create a reference model in actual 3D and rotate it into various angles to get a good idea of what it should look like. (If not just let the software bake it directly into actual drawn frames, outright.)
>>23798664The real cherry is actually how the three girls posing things to the Getter team leaves the latter acutely aware of their own flaws, but TOTALLY unable to articulate them.Effectively, they managed to put a cork in the mouths of the most foul-mouthed quip-slinging piloting team in /m/ history. Which is something, to say.I'm not entirely sure WHAT it is. But damn- is it something.
>>23798827It'd be funny if the pitch is the problem but the remake still manages to work in Nova and Debonair, so they get her to voice Debonair instead.
>>23798833They do this same frame in Pani Poni lol.
>>23798832>>23798834>>23798838Imagine defending a pedophile that doesn't even know you exist.
>>23798981For real. I'm all for taking shit with a grain of salt but this was an actual fucked up pedo rapist. Dude even made the girl eat shit. There is no defending it.
>>23798892Then why did you word it like it! That's was pretty irresponsible for your part, you sounded like a filthy YouTube clickbaiter.
>>23799111Hey no no no, nobody is fucking defending that pedo mangaka author, what we had an issue is the pisspoor vagueposty way that one anon started the topic and the poor wording making it sound like the author of Frieren was the culprit!
>>23799149>>23799153You are a fucking retarded underage moron with the reading comprehension of a pill bug.
Does anybody know why the fuck people (I'm assuming it's just Duel) are treating the OG show like some fucking sacred cow? It's a neat show and it's not bad, and I'm also tired of endless remakes, but who the fuck the cares enough about/thinks Rayearth is important enough to sperg out so hard about the remake?The threads on /a/ when this airs are going to be abysmal with him running amok.
>>23799163Duel hates rayearth though.
>>23799153i NEVER said that, AT NO MOMENT!DEFECTING means leaving ON YOUR OWN WILL, The Frieren author DEFECTED from MangaNOW because he did not wanted to be associated with the assholes who defended a pedophile without him or the other authors knowing, if i wanted to even imply he was the pedo, i would have said something like ShoPro kicked her out or something. GOT IT?
>>23799165We know it doesn't actually matter what you like/dislike so long as it's something that allows you to rabidly shitpost.
>>23798844The LatAm dub did so because TMS at the time was enforcing international names for the girls.The Ocean dub pilot and some others had the names Luce, Marine, and Anemone and some countries did their variants like what you see (Fuu being Anais or Anne). The dub of the English video game and the Mixx manga were originally going to use localized names too but wound up going with the originals.
>>23799163I'm not sure either. Most of the discussion surrounding it are people swooning over the mecha designs or gooning over Nova. Everybody agrees that Rayearth 2 is terrible and the OVA is just a weird mess. I can even say the remake will be a visual downgrade because the original looked like shit for the most part so really outside nostalgia where the fuck is any of this glowing praise for the OG stems from?
>>23799680Can we please stop with this hallucinating rewrite of story?
>>23799680>Everybody agreeNo we don't.
>>23799680>Everybody agrees that Rayearth 2 is terribleManga version had far better pacing for the second arc because they didn't waste time on that weird nova/debonair side-story that had virtually no impact on the fate of cephiro.
>>23800387>>23800385Anytime Rayearth 2 is brought up its shat on hard. The only people who like it are unironic Novafags or Iczer retards
>>23800409Only manga fags bitch and fuck God Makona
>>23799459>The dub of the English video game and the Mixx manga were originally going to use localized names too but wound up going with the originals.Wow, it's weird to think how things could've gone a little differently.
>>23800409>>23796046For me, it's Eagle Vision.
https://twitter.com/rayearth_info/status/2039266532468064299Clamp Day.
>>23801606Finish X!
>>23799459>>23801577It's amazing how common it was back then for dubs to change characters' names to appeal to non-Japanese audiences among other changes. Also, stuff like Kids' WB removing Sakura's name from Cardcaptor and skipping to Syaoran's first episode to try and make the show more appealing to boys. The Fox Kids version of Escaflowne skipped the first episode because it was focused on Hitomi for the same reason.
>>23801577Yeah, can't remember the proposed ones for the game except maybe "Gayle" for Fuu, but Mixx had "Blaze", "Nautia," and "Windi" in early descriptions.
>>23801725>>23801723https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.video.sega/c/ZTB10F-MMmY/m/gXN5ytBoHSwJFound the old discussion about that.Stu Levy had two sets of proposed names for the girls in the manga too: Blaze/Nautia/Windi and Lustere/Marin/Wyndy.Vic Ireland hated the TMS names and wanted to go with his own set of English ones for the game, but it ultimately worked out that they used the Japanese ones.
>>23801725>>23801727Jesus, we Matrix-dodged like three bullets.
>>23798667fuck yeah
