>>280868266 The world is cruel Shooters not being very popular in Japan Most competent western devs that can pull off good TPS combat are averse to anime styles The gaming industry is shit
>>280868328 I feel like an appetite for the aesthetic is at least there and for TPS you can do more fun bullshit not like an FPS where it has to be twitchy with the aiming
>>280868087 (OP) >improved the source material (S1 not S2) by shifting the focus from a mediocre tragedy bait plot to much deeper emphasis on characters and themes >clearly made by a /k/fag with its attention to detail >still has strong and well-animated action scenes despite being character-focused >unironically profound GSG will never be topped
>>280871838 Yes, they are pretty different in a lot of ways, but very simliar in terms of their emphasis on atmosphere and themes, and their overarching moral ambiguity. And also obviously the girls with guns.
>>280871838 >>280872037 Also rec. Im fine with S2, but if it ain't your cup of tea, then read the manga. You have to read it anyway since the anime did not adapt the rest of the series.
>>280868087 (OP) >>280871754 >>280872055 Why is the first Gunslinger Girl anime so comfy even though superficially it's "boring" and depicts horrible abuse?It also makes me kinda regret not being a father, but that's probably for the best..
Reading the manga rn and I like it a lot but the melancholy isn't quite the same and I don't know what else hits this vibe
