I could tolerate Alek's design, but not Deryn/Dylan's - and latter's supposed to be the first person we follow to war. There's barely any contrast to her look from her bloody khakis, she looks too dim even. You've got other blondes like Newkirk, but they were done nice. Shame, considering the 3 years in production...

I've said this so many times, and 2/3rd of the time the show just falls off my radar, in part because no one else online is discussing it weekly.
It's honestly amazing how there's this entire web-wide infrastructure of news outlets and blogs and social media that provide free advertising for any anime that sticks to the seasonal rhythm they're attuned to, but Netflix actively chooses NOT to make use of it... for half their anime. Not even all of them.
The suits just do whatever and pretend it's a strategy.

My theory is that Netflix (and all the streaming services in general) want to profit on the binge watching as means to keep people the longest periods of time possible on their pltaforms since that's how the measure the success of a project. Their bussiness model doesn't on merchandising like traditional TV since they only invest on merch for their biggest hits, like Stranger Things or Wednesday. Which honestly are just a handful.

yeah this doesn't make any sense me. i'm four episodes in and it seems well paced so far but i know they're going to have to kick it into crackhead to cover three 400-500 page books in 12 episodes. i'm glad there are people to talk about it here though, even if the dumping of episodes is a drag.

Did they finish the first book in the fourth episode? If not, the only way to make it is major cuts.
Also, how do the walkers look? I'd check myself but I need to work.
Anonymous No.280442863 [Report]

It seems like the first book ends at episode five or six, but it seems more so to just blend straight into the climactic events of the second. Honestly the walkers look great, people bitch about 3D but I've always been a fan of studio Orange's work. I'm less enthused about the beasties though, they're all a little too cute, very little of those biological horror undertones that the books' illustrations had. i've seen what they did to bovril too, he's some kind of pikachu mascot character, it's really not great.

True, but I'm not convinced binge watching keeps people on the platform for longer.
Suppose you have an evening for Netflix and chill.
Scenario 1: You pick up an anime released weekly. The first ep is 24 minutes. You finish it with most of the night still ahead of you. The autoplay algorithm suggests something else to watch. You stick around until you get bored. Total playtime: 12x24m + t, where t is how much you care about what the algorithm suggests, capped by your bedtime.
Scenario 2: You pick up a binge released anime. You watch until you're bored and/or it's bedtime. The algorithm has no opportunity to work its dark magic. Total playtime: 12x24m. There is no t.

You have to want to watch the show to come back weekly. Binge model is optimized for people who play random trash while doing house chores and dividing thier attention. Someone watching weekly could decide to go somewhere else after that 1 episode, where someone binging sticks to thier service for hours.

these are the things i feel like the show is missing the most. the quiet, awe inspiring moments that stood out to me when i read the books. the tense wartime scenes with real tactical minutiae. the flechette bats being dumbed down is such a loss to me, there's just no time for these slow, expository scenes where we see the intricate workings of these bizarre darwinian monstrosities. it's all lost in the breakneck pace to get through three books of material in 12 episodes.
it was inevitable given netflix, but i'm not really sure who this show is for. it doesn't feel like it's for fans of the books because everything is so rushed and so many important details are changed to the point of frustration and confusion, and i don't feel like it's for new audiences because without knowledge of the books the show comes off as rushed and sloppy, which it is. i would have preferred one well paced season adapting the first book and never getting anything else than whatever this is.

Talent is more interested in working in games. What ever programs they ultimately use, simply don't offer the level that pixar/dreamworks have. This looks like their just stuck with everything looking plastic, other than the few times like the gantz 0 movie where it looked good, somehow.

I think it's gonna be very bad. They are adapting the entire series- but only ordered 12 episodes.

For comparison. LoTR got one movie per book, the book about LITERAL health nazis banning chocolate got 10 episodes, Deltora Quest (7 books) got 60 something including the extra filler that OLM shoved in.

And the approximate route they might have taken to reach Swiss Alps. Roughly 59 hours of travel at 18 km/h. Doable in a week, honestly not as bad as I thought, putting aside the constant proximity to German border.

>Germany decides to kidnap/kill Alek
Why? Why would Germany decide to potentially sever their only ally in the war that just started? Capturing him to secure a connection to the Austrian throne I understand, but killing him? We really doing the "big bad Germans" scenario where it doesn't fit?

>Ottoman Revolution
I know it's an Alt-History timeline, and I guess this one makes a little sense. Just sped up the timeline a little bit without the need of Ottomans falling apart and finally dying as the sick man of Europe

>Great Britain declares war on Germany super early
Yeah, they did so in real life too, but because of Belgian neutrality. I don't know, I guess it just rubs me the wrong way because it's sort of "because plot" and not whoops! Germany did the Schlieffen plan! That was a fuck up.

>Germany sends military into Switzerland to find and capture Alek
How is that not a violation of international treaties? How is that not a violation of Swiss neutrality? How is that not opening up yet ANOTHER front that Germany would need to attend to?

You don't even have to change the character design. Just give the characters different names and put them in a story and setting that isn't trigun and it would have been totally safe. At best /a/ would just think that the characters kinda looks like Vash, Merryl and Wolfwood

IRL Franz Joseph hated Franz Ferdinand and was not in the least sad that he was assassinated, so I assume the Emperor would also not care if Alek, as the next heir to the throne, was also killed off to make room for someone more politically agreeable to Franz Joseph.

Okay, but the question remains - why is it that the GERMANS are the ones chasing after him and not the Austro-Hungarians? I'd get it far more if there were different factions after him because of the shitshow of culture mess that was Austro-Hungary, but why are the Germans involved? Makes no sense.

Because the Austrians might not all be down with killing Alek but German troops probably won’t care. Also Austrian military incompetence was a running theme all throughout the war.

Ok, cool, but you know what'd be neat? If they gave us a small scene explaining something like that, otherwise the Germans are the bad guys for simply being the bad guys when it makes literally zero sense for them to be hunting a royal of their only ally otherwise.

In this series, the Germs actually falseflag'd an attack on Archduke Franz Ferdinand, as an excuse to start a war and wipe out their rivals.

Ok, see, THIS is something that could have easily been covered a small scene close to the beginning of the series, but they made absolutely zero mention of this throughout the entire anime, so it looks like the Germans are attacking him because of "Big Bad Germany" stereotype and nothing else. Entirely the fault of the director here.

So I just rewatched it to make absolutely sure, but unless you're talking about an entirely different fencing lesson scene, they animated a fencing lesson scene between Alek and 'Dylan', but make zero mention of the supposed false flag attack, only that Leviathan is heading to the Ottoman Empire to try to mend relations with them after taking away the Behemoth, and that Alek would have to leave the city early if the Ottomans did in fact ally themselves with the British.

>I fucking hate Netflix and its binge culture.
Me too, binging hours worth of episodes all at once is just the worst way to watch a series. At most I'll watch 2, MAYBE 3 episodes in a day if I'm really feeling it, but usually just one. It really gives you time to soak in everything you saw and reflect on it, plus it just stretches out the time you get to enjoy it. I enjoy watching a single show for months at a time, sometimes it even helps track events in my life by knowing what show I was watching at the time.

This is Netflix's actual business model, they're background noise for the average low attention span person who just wants something going on in the background while they cook or clean or work from home or browse instagram or whatever else. They might sit down and actually watch something if it really interests them, but Netflix doesn't care about that, which is why they stopped making really good shows years ago and switched to easily produced low effort bingeslop.
