Upcoming Ryusei no Rockman episodes (constantly updated)

ComicX6 · Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:12 pm Post subject:

Takahashi's style doesn't stand out much from the multitude of other anime styles, but his (I'm operating under the assumption Akira Takahashi is male until proven otherwise) style is very consistant, and he can do some decent fight scenes.

Nomoto, on the other hand, is all over the place. Sometimes, like in 40, it's rather pretty and easy on the eyes, but in other cases, like say well... most of his/her other episodes, especially Beast 7, there are proportion and perspective issues, as well as flat out poorly drawn scenes and people. The style just doesn't work for me at all, and I'm made no secret of my opinion that Nomoto is the weakest director of the bunch. I'd take Takahashi and all the other old directors from EXE over Nomoto any day.

Last that I checked, the artistic directors only make the main shots of the anime, and then there's a whole team that has to draw the frames in between. Wouldn't that just mean that Nomoto has the weakest of all the animator teams?

That doesn't change the reality that the style is sloppy and inconsistant to begin with.

Maybe so, but I referred to the still shots, and that's mostly caused by a lack of animation, and not just a sloppy style...

Take note that Nomoto does that more than the other two.

No matter how pretty a pan is artwise, when it's not needed, it looks incredibly lazy to the viewer. Most of the time, a simple explosion would suffice.

A semi-bad news for Ryuusei fans:

It's been announced at OhaColosseum that Saru Get! You 2nd will be replaced by Duel Masters Zero next week.
Ryuusei's still going to be ten minutes long Sad

That's odd, especially considering Zero Duel Masters has been on the air for about 3 months already (or, at least, about 12 episodes have aired). I wonder why they'd choose to shove it into Oha now.

Well, the weekday Oha announced yesterday that the old Lets&Go anime will be taking over the weekday 5-minutes-a-day slot, too.

That and this 10-minute version of Duel Masters will feature the same animation style as SaruGet!You (cel-shaded 3D).

Hm, too bad. I kinda want a full opening and ending. That would fill an empty space inside.

An opening and an ending could hardly fill 10 minutes on their own... Can you imagine a five minute opening sequence?

What I meant was that it would've been nice if Tribe got a full timeslot.

1:30 minute Opening
11 minutes of footage
2-3 second eyecatchs
10-11 minute footage
1-1:30 minute Ending
30 second episode preview

It just seems so... natural.

AMEN. I love Ryuusei and all, but 10 minutes is just too short. The episodes could do with more fleshing out, like the Denpa Henkan animation ( could be come more like Cross Fusion?) and the fight scenes.

**Sketch** · Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 6:45 pm Post subject:

The Denpa Henkan sequence is considerably shorter than Cross Fusion sequence...LETS COMPARE THEM:

The Cross Fusion sequence from Stream 41...which isn't actually full...takes 24 seconds.

The full Denpa Henkan takes 11 seconds.

Exactly. With a half an hour time slot, we could have an awesome stretched out Denpa Henkan animation. *SQUEE* I loved Misora's Denpa Henkan, it was awesome. Now if only Subaru could have one too.

Subaru already has his own henshin sequence.

I think he meant something more in the vein of Misora, Luna, and Gonta's henshins, as opposed to being bear-hugged.

Exactly what I meant. Why did someone like Gonta get a cool Henshin sequence when Subaru's is like 2 seconds long? Just doesn't make sense...

DanSidney · Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 12:25 am Post subject:

I actually kinda like Subaru's. The henshins in EXE were a little too long, with Axess being SO long, took like forever. I was quite happy in Stream with the new PET, that gave a cooler, speedier henshin.
Misora and Luna are -keyword- GIRLS. Girls -> Magical girl -> Magical girl henshin with ribbons and such things. The bear hug is... c'mon let's be honest, something a little less wussy than just standing still for a bunch of time with straps, flames, or whatever wrapping around your body to turn into armor afterwards.

The guy henshins are all relatively short for that reason, which is rather appropriate to me. I quite like Subaru's transformation the way it is. If the episodes were longer, I'd much rather be watching a good plot development or battle with minimal pans, rather than extended henshins and fillers.

It's rather disappointing that the episodes aren't longer, but it's probably for the best... *sigh*
