Dandivine starts in a couple weeksWho is going to be subbing it?
>>24030055I saw it got a manga tie-in that began today. I doubt anyone is gonna translate it though.
>Beast King War God Dandivine is an upcoming original Japanese anime television series created by Good Smile Company and Liden Films, and the first project in Good Smile Company's "The God of Combined Series", to commemorate its 25th anniversary.If, for no reason in particular, the sponsor of this anime happened to operate an image board with a dedicated mecha section, shouldn't it be in their best interest to promote the series?
>>24030419Don't worry, duel will do his best to make no-one want to discuss this
>>24030419Is it supposed to be very tangentially connected to dancouga?
>>24030422The Duel strawman is already being used to dismiss any criticism of Vertex Force
>>24030419If you are implying there is a marketing shill thread, there are like 10 people on /m/ total that look at anything other than Gundam threads or generals at this pointRegardless this anime is going to get discussed either way purely because of its writer. Assuming someone translates it of course.
>>24030055Bravern got official release on Netflix or Crunchyroll or something. This is basically the same production fashion so it's going to get the same thing in the US. Official multicast.
>>24030908Crunchyroll did not sub the Dandevine trailer like they did for Bravern. There's no evidence they're doing it.
>>24030419Moot received an offer to buy the website from an unnamed "japanese toy company" back in 2005.
>>24030987Why does he always do that non-sequitor into bringing up another series unprompted
The main character gives way more of a hot-blooded vibe in the manga tie in compared to what we’ve seen of the anime.
>>24031233Is anyone translating it? I'd like to check it out myself
>>24031250Isn't the manga MC something like an older relative to the protagonists in the show?
>>24030055hopefully no homo shit like bravern and star driver
>>24031691Where do you think you are?
>>24031579Its a prequel, right? One of the characters listed in the show is the original Dandivine pilot and said to be the uncle of the protagonist.
>>24032144Yeah, it seems so, the artsyle also reminds me of that god-unbreaker mecha manga that got axed months ago, wonder it it's the same artists.

>>24031691>Toshiki Inoue>No gay shitImpossible
I can't stop singing this when I read the name https://youtu.be/AtsvVH0D2AU
>>24030913Yeah as it seems It's not being broadcasted by TBS nor Sony's own channel animax. Linden is owned by Kodokawa albeit. If it gains enough traction it might be on Crunchyroll because Witch Hat Artelier was and that's also Kodokawa.
>>24031691I'll take homo shit over harem slop any day of the week
>>24033278Based
>>24033278>>24033284Hi duel
>>24033278I'm a homo and I don't want to see the gay shit in my anime. Homosexuality is not entertainment outside of porn, it's explotation.
>>24033350you can't point to everyone can call them "duel" just so you don't have to argue with them.You are as bad as the problem you are trying to stop
>>24033367>just so you don't have to argue with them....why do you want to be argued with?
>>24033357You are not gonna get a straight handsome guy to let you blow him bro.
>>24030055>chink director
>>24033453chink are kino though
>>24033433Well I've proven that wrong dozens of times.
>>24033453>The next century will be Chinese>The next Super Director of japanese anime will be Chinese Fitting
>>24034263Kek I know your kind.
>>24033264Crunchy added Dandivine today, so the translation issue is resolved for the anime at least if no fansubbers puck it upDon't know if anyone is gonna work on the manga though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAGGia6tbgU
>>24034574Aggressive Chinese vibes
>>24034718it's literally a super colorful Shibuya crossing
>>24034574Blue hair girl is cute.A ton of the cast has the same surname, like her and the protagonist, so I wonder the relations. Even the one guy without it is confirmed as the protagonist's uncle already.
>>24033220This is the gayest shit I've heard in my whole life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCECxakU4ek
>>24034718Not spiky enough to be a mecha designed by china
>>24030679>Assuming someone translates it of course.Looks like crunchyroll picked it up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8fgR7YAUj4Dandivine's opening.
>>24038429If that's the 2D quality for the OP I dread what it'll look like in the show itself.
>>24038429Now studios are trying to make it look more like traditional animation while using 100% CGI for anime. Still looks horrible because they don't use smear frames and have an awful frame rate. Ugh.
>>24038429>comments still on
>>24034718The robot is Korean actually
>>24038478Retard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcPqZfNc8sg
>>24037040Muse Asia (YouTube) picked it up, too.
>>24038429Many cute girls, not gay confirmed?
>>24039956It's harem.
>>24040058doesn't give off harem vibes to me
So, this airs today?
https://x.com/Dengeki_Daioh/status/2107667479770107920Dandivine prologue manga is now renamed Dandivine Kai. It's like when the Fullmetal Rina manga got renamed early in publishing.
>>24038437It's definitely not a high profile studio so don't expect good animation outside of the fights. Even the fights look questionable.
I'm excited for this!
>>24034134Wuxia has become overly lame.
>>24041157In two weeks.
Airing now!
>>24041607Can't wait to watch it when I get home from work
First ep was... okayish, I guess.The mecha CG was alright but the environmental CG and the 2D was subpar as fuck.Like, holy shit, we're at the point where Gaiking LoDM from over twenty years ago which infamously had no sponsors and was rushed from pre-planning to airing in three months genuinely had better animation, cinematogaphy, choreography, direction and whatnot in its first episode than this.Still gonna keep watching it, hoping that it gets better, since there are some aspects that might get interesting like the>see that "Takeshi Jamada was just a normal high school student..." shit? That crap is BOOORING!stuff and the toy company angle.
>>24041733That's because LoDM was made by and involved skilled people that actually gave a shit and cared about Super Robots; you can overcome shit budget and schedules with passion to a surprisingly large extent.
>>24041737Man, I need to access my old PC again since I think I still have the notes I took from the old LoDM staff interviews on it.IIRC it really WAS a case of "we have more or less negative time and budget - let's make the best fucking thing we can!" and the staff loved the original Gaiking and its design so much that not using the NEO one wasn't really a matter of it being too complex but sheer respect for the OG.
God this was bad.Not one original idea in the whole episode.Premise, robot, setting and animation, we've all seen way better.So much for the hype train on this one.
I take it back. Faggots would have at least been more entertaining than what we’re getting
>>24041749>>24041766Toshiki Inoue is a washed up writer.
it;s somehow weaker than vertex force and meza's first ep.
>>24041773What's a Meza?
>>24041749People said that for MJP too but that ended up fun for me. I did think Vertex Force is better though.
well that was a pretty weak start>>24041733the decline of industry talent for anime originals is real>>24041796Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen Mochi Datta no de, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei to Shite Jiyuu ni Ikitaithe length of the title should tell you its ln trash
>>24041807its not that bad. It's miles better than your fantasy and shoelacer isekai garbage
>>24041808Not a high bar. Ive seen ants do a running leap over that bar
>>24041798MJP had way higher overall quality even in its first episode.This one was dull and zero budget as fuck to the point where I genuinely want to know just what the hell happened behind the scenes.GSC is basically the king when it comes to retro mecha toys and model kits, digging out IPs that most of /m/ has never even heard of (and in some cases, most of current day Japan), their staff has genuine passion about that stuff, they have high profile people working for them, they, along with Takara Tomy, have multiple toys for Dandivine in the oven, they promoted the show quite a lot and IIRC already have plans for more shows in the upcoming years...and yet they ended up dropping this not even quarter-assed dud that feels like something went seriously wrong.
>>24041808The power amor is cool and zone shipfights are good.Still wished it was claas sayasune the one that got an anime btw.
the real reason their toy sales are declining:no one is living in that city
>>24041796Nothing what's a meza you
>>24041820I guess cg people milling about in the the background in the sane scenes as those two paper cutouts would have been a too jarring visual experience
>>24041812Blind fanboys often make the worst content of the things they're fans of. See also: Red Ranger Isekai which has become an absolute dumpster fire and is definitely made by a completely blind, senseless tokusatsu fanboy.
>>24041828And GQux
>>24041830And Getter Robo Devolution
As usual, you can't help but give yourself away.
>>24041824My grandmother was Italian. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU
>almost everything besides the sound design and VAs was outsourced to China
Oh I see now. You all are intentionally leaving bad social media impressions because you are threatened and lets all be honest in front of our ancestors here intimidated by superior Chinese production ability
>>24041846Almost everything is outsourced to china and korea. Do that long enough, and even that cheap outsourcing goes to shit because, *shocker* You still have to pay animators a livable wage.
>>24041833Sorry, but I'm just someone that has genuinely come to hate Red Ranger Isekai based entirely off of how shitty it has become over time, not for any of the nonsensical nonreasons that drool has
>Liden films>ChineseSometimes i wish I could line up every single dishonest Chinkshills and execute them on public. Never give us a good Chinese recommendation despite Chinese people having so many classics and instead just being annoying about their crappy newer things
https://nyaa.si/view/2170954How was Dandivine's premiere?
Better than vertex force by a huge gap, having the characters drawn really makes the difference. Never supporting full 3DCG trash.
>>24041946Nah
>>24041848>Almost everything is outsourced to china and koreaHow come Gooks, Chinks and their dickriders always try to make themselves sound like the most important people in the world nowadays? I thought that the inferiority complex was just an exaggarated meme but it's looking more and more like an actual fact
>>24041950Dandivine was better received than shitex force, cope.
Both Vertex and Dandivine are equally middling for now
This episode 1 felt weaker than I antecipated, not bad but it should been better. Hopefully it does get better later.
>>24041945Honestly sad to watch. Animation, scene composition and the action were all absolutely abysmal. This is meant to be start of a franchise? There's no way this doesn't bomb completely.Is there even any talent for /m/ shows available?Gquacks, Hathaway and even the upcoming XARX Zero look great; even those Xabungle side R and L looked amazing
>>24041828>Red Ranger Isekai which has become an absolute dumpster fireit was a fire the moment the Megazord got summoned in the fantasy world. "Not like your typical isekai power fantasy" my ass
>>24041945Bad
>>24042007>"Not like your typical isekai power fantasy" my assThe protagonist has been dead for about 7 months and counting.
>jumps straight to spoilers without even bothering to use tagsmakes me wonder if the spoiler is legit or shit is being made up to trick people to reading/watching it?
>>24042031Its real
this was really whatever. you can at least hope it does something interesting later. if my standards for seasonal anime hadnt been lowered by narou kei shit maybe i would have felt worse about it
>>24042031You're a retard, and you can easily confirm it by checking its dedicated thread right now.
>>24042031I fucking wish it was a lie, I'd honestly probably rather have it be your shitpost of it being a lazy no effort power fantasy over what it currently is in reality.
>>24042047You're fucking annoying too, acting like it's all over and the work will have a tragic ending just because the MC isn't coming back so soon.
>>24042052I know it's not going to have a tragic ending (because I have read the manga up to it's current point and also know what it's fucking title is), that doesn't make the poorly executed and farcical current arc (and it's eventual resolution) any less contrived, hollow, and banal.
>>24042052the fact that it's not going to stick just makes it all the worse. Not that I want it to be tragic, but we spent more than half a year on shit that goes nowhere.
>>24042074Technically we've spent all year on shit that goes nowhere, pretty much. None of the actually interesting shit built up towards or shown before this year has had any progress at all (learning anything at all about what Silver's deal is, the Kizuna Five actually entering into the main plot, or why the Demon Queen (and even the other final bosses, for that matter) are the way they are, as just a few examples). Meanwhile all we have gotten is a bunch of very boring and absolutely ridiculous new antagonists that you really cannot take the fights against seriously due to their very nature (and who have added nothing at all to the story or any of the characters except banal drama and misery shit), a bunch overwrought despair porn for pretty much all of the protagonists (Yihdra most of all) and some honestly extremely vague bullshit about the past of the final bosses in the flashback that happens in chapter 54. This entire year doesn't really contribute anything at all to the story or characters unless you're a sadistic douchebag that gets off on seeing characters you supposedly like and want to be happy suffer and get traumatized for life.
Pretty weak first episode but I can't ignore the big titty blonde villainess and construction worker Ryoma uncle, this show is gonna deliver one way or another.
>>24041986Yeah, I get that too. Its not terrible, but definitely feels like it could be way better.
Why does duel keep raging about Sentai Red Isekai in these threads? On here and on /a/I don't understand the connection in his mind between these two
>>24042178>I don't understand the connection in his mindTrying to understand a retarded autistic pedophile diabetic eunuch's mind is a losing game.
This is bad. Like really bad. I get the story wants to be meta but there's no fun to be had here.
>>24042178why are we assuming that Duel hates Sentai Red Isekai?
>>24042246>we >assumingYou are not fooling anyone.
>>24042107I bet it fucking wont
>>24042191You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24041812Well, yeah, mjp was basically a tech demo for orange. This one only wants to shill toys without any ambition as a studio.
>>24041994Unless it's done by sunrise, ex-gainax, satelight, graphinica, orange, sanzigen, or if they have old /m/ directors onboard like taniguchi don't get your hopes up basically
>>24042296For a toy show the human characters don't really seem like very toyetic designs. Like the money would be in the robot but these guys don't really seem like action figure material. They look like they'd be better suited in some high school club anime.
>>24042306I would jokingly say to blame the Gridman anime, but even they (especially the Dynazenon characters) had at least some panache to their designs. But yeah, having a more flashy/stylish and distinctively designed MC like Guy or Daiya from LoDM that was mentioned earlier would help a lot to make it feel more like a proper Super Robot toy commercial show.
>>24042309It reminds me less of a super robot protagonist and more like something you'd get out of of Asyra Crying or some moody 2000s show. And that's not to say that super robot shows need a certain type of hero. They don't HAVE to be hot blooded youths in bright colored jumpsuits but it doesn't hurt to play to type. I look at this trio and you know what comes to mind? Kanazuki no Miko.
>>24042309They copied gridman when the premise sounds more like akibaranger instead. It's too soon to judge but I bet this will fall flat halfway through.
>>24042306with a few exceptions, human toys have always been kind of rare with mecha showsthat said, the villain trio scream "I was designed to be turned into a Nendoroid">>24042338I think it's pretty obvious why. his uncle is the hot blooded pilot and is likely going to be killed off like Gai was for character development
>>24042342It fell flat with the first episode
>>24042414You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24042309>>24042338Nips say this.
>>24042460
>>24042460You are really unintelligent. You know that right?
>>24042460Twitter screencap? Do you care to form your own opinion?
I don't think the show is bad, but it isn't the best first impression. I do hope there ends up being improvements because I think there is stuff that can end up better.The cheapness does show though, in things like the lack of anyone else in the background.
>>24042534>>24042444>>24042278CONSOOM!
What was supposed to be the hook here? I assumed it was hiding something but it really does seem to just be as face value as it seemed upon reveal.
>>24042686I know it's the first episode but I feel like there's a lot of conflicting ideas and elements that aren't gelling. The idea of a super robot toy marketing team trying to make their big robot more profitable is kind of interesting. There's almost something Dai-Guard-esque if they put more focus on the marketing side of things and it's got the whole meta commentary about kids not liking robot shows anymore. The big rub I have is the MC, who is just not very interesting and it doesn't make him less interesting when the show calls out how uninteresting he is. I liked Uncle Ryoma but he's going to have to pass the robot on sooner rather later. It's just kind of hard to get a read.
>>24042673Buzzword!
>>24042872It's somewhat concerning that we have Inoue on record saying that the overall joke with him is that he will never get interesting
>>24042999Yeah, that's not really the best way to get people excited for your show. He's not even acting as the straight man.
They seem really proud of this trio and I'm really confident they probably designed them first and they fell into a robot show.
>>24042306With the unreliable dad and uncle characters I feel like they may be testing the waters with the fujoshi/bara fan market, which while that's a reasonable business decision (See Digimon Beatbreak and how Naito who only shows up in one arc has the best selling merchandise) there's gotta be more to their designs.Conversely they seem to have been intentionally taking the piss with a couple of the character designs, namely "Ruri Hoshino but with one fewer twintail"
>>24043151I wonder if the purple bishounen who was present on the latest key visual will make the series more popular when he shows up as well.
>>24043151Shes cute. I wonder how relevant she'll be
I raised an eyebrow at the in-universe commentary that kids don't want toy robots anymore. Considering this sponsored by Toy Companies and is supposed to be merchandise driven.
>>24043456That shouldn't be surprising given how stupidly meta the show is at a base
>>24043456You clearly don't get how anime works. This is a late night broadcast, no kids is watching this. Dandivine is an adult collectible.
>>24043462Its been pointed out repeatedly that the idea of kids not liking toy robots is confirmation biasThe only company even trying to target children with mecha anymore is Takara, and they've been more successful than pretty much everyone else in bringing mecha to the market.Bamco is retarded for not replacing the Build franchise with anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIXEFEDaUDsVol 1.
>>24043478Then why is our MC some bland High school self insert stand in and not someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towards. If this is meant for the young at heart working stiff it's gonna miss its mark.
>>24043835>and not someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towardsJapan typically does not have the obsessive hang-up with needing older protagonists that the west does.
>>24043840No, they just have an obsessive hang-up with needing a younger protagonist instead
>>24043854Grow up bro
>>24043835>someone the adult audience would actually gravitate towardsYeah like a loli or a loli with big boobs.
>>24043858At this point just about anything would be better than vacuous black haired Japanese high schooler.
>>24043854No, they just are open to different ages. They aren't afraid of enjoying stuff with characters younger than themselves. No hang ups.
>>24043032They’re pretty meh. At most tamagoro might do a splash page of them to pad put a compilation doujin
>>24043871>No, they just are open to different ages.No they're not.
>>24043923>nuh uhKek
Beijing unimpressed
It was honestly pretty boring. A lot of ideas, but the first episode didn't do anything interesting. It didn't help that the cgi was mediocre.Unrelated to that, I'm wasn't a huge fan of the korea inspired robot, so I was hoping seeing it in motion with goof cg could help change my opinion, but that wasn't good either.
>>24043995>>24044075Xi XghinPiing’s not gunna like THIS!
>>24043874I wish, tamagoro hasn't shown any signs of going back to the H doujinshi scene yet
Unfortunately I'm gonna have to jump on the whelmed train. Seemed like a wet noodle, nothing particularly impressive in the writing or animation department. We get so few of these nowadays that I'm inclined to keep watching but yeah wasn't enthused.
>>24044105He did come out with an entire tank a few months ago, so there's still hope.
>>24044178That's just a collection of magazine published works though, going out of your way to do a doujinshi is a lot more work for yourself

>>24044409>assumes that everyone who talks bad about harems are the same person
>>24043871That is not true in the least. Japan has an obsession with the teenage years as before University is the last time somebody has personal freedom in their culture. Almost everything has protagonists in their teenage years. Everything coming out from that country from music to games to anime.
>>24044442Not really. Japs see college as the best time of their lives because they have all the freedoms of adulthood without the burden. It's just that otakus are pedophiles and most of them never finish college because they're shut-ins
>>24044522Then why are 80 to 90% of entertainment properties focused on the high schoolers. Hmm?Especially now. I think your candy coating the Japanese not realizing a huge swath of the country is bumpkins and mouth breathing knuckle draggers.

>>24046357I liked it
>>24046842What if it's just the first half and that the actual episode length is split 2-cour with a surprise second cour announcement in the first half's final episode?
>>24047037Didn't GSC basically tried to make this a series of sorts? They categorized it as "Gattaishin Series" or something. So season 2 would be like a completely different show.
>>24047261Yeah, gattaishing it's suppose to last 3 years or at least that's the plan.
>>24047037I really miss the days of 35-50+ episodes.
>>24047463>implying you lived through it>implying there aren't 50+ episode shows nowadays >implying you can name more than 5 50+ episode shows that aren't muh essentialcore 3*3 bait staple shows>implying you'd even bother watching 50 episode of this lol
>>24047486Go fist fuck your mother
>>24046357I don't know why GSC decided to cheap out on the studio. Like, why even bother with all the bell and whistles if it's animated like shit? The least they could do is get one of old-time /m/ staff in supervising position but they didn't even do that.Based on the aesthetics, voice actress and scriptwriter it's obvious they want this to be some sort of hybrid of ssss gridman and bravern, but I don't think this studio could pull of drama scenes as well as trigger, and inoue can be really unfunny when left unchecked (none of these young staff will say no to him).
>>24047494I really don't think a company would cheapen out on a production on purpose, saying "why didn't they just hire big people to make a good show?" is a bit naive but companies also make retarded decisions so it's anyone's guess.
>>24047543I know that. Maybe they don't have enough connection, maybe the ip being new and uncertain made it hard to secure big studios, maybe their calculation shows it's more profitable to do it this way than build the ip off smaller works etc I get that. But it's not my problem, I don't wanna watch a shoddily animated mecha anime by a no name director.
>>24047574Now I'm not going to pretend Dandivine is going to save mecha but only watching shows made by people you know is how the genre stagnates and dies.
Somehow I get Getter Arc flashbacks from it.>hey, Inoue/Kawagoe, I know that guy! They were involved with some stuff I enjoyed - can't be that bad and they're promoting it quite a bit, even having a variety of toys ready to go...>What the hell, where did the budget go?! Even the OP looks like shit - you'd think that they'd pour some bucks into something like this...>who the fuck is animating this, anyway?>Key Animators>Ching Chong, Sum Ting Wong, Ho Lee Sheet....>CGI Animators>Tom Ka Gai, Cao Ni Ma, Ding Dong Ban...At least Arc still had its Ishikawa artstyle as something positive while this is generic, borderline amateurish tripe.
