Sayaka is so lucky...
Also new episode today.

>>280925280 (OP)
Me hoping that that "equally massive" would stay as a side effect.

>>280925280 (OP)
Such amazing art wasted on this absolute trash
This is what the Nube remake should have been

Need more feet

>>280925897
Should have gotten real Nube fans instead of paint-by-numbers artists to get it to this level.

Also Japan disagrees with you(judging from Xwitter reactions).

NUN

Say the line, /a/!

Yaiba did 9/11!

>>280926388

>>280927032
new good, old bad
this was the best episode so far

>>280928078
Nice

>>280927032
WIT does it again

The animation this episode was really, really good.
I mean, it's always been really good with this series but even with a full-on CGI fight between buddha and the mecha-castle the CGI animation was some of the best I've seen in anime.

>>280930164
really good cgi for anime standards, yeah.

>>280930164
I'm not super surprised by the good CGI, WIT's been leading the pack in that regard for years outside of arguably Orange, but it's still great to see such a well-made, well-animated show, especially one with so many episodes.

Oguri Musashi when

>>280925897
Shut the fuck up faggot

>>280925280 (OP)
bump

>>280928264
I've seen this before.

>Bin Furuya noted that The Great Buddha Arrival inspired various tokusatsu productions most notably the Ultraman franchise
Interesting. Hope they find it one day.

>>280931673
The Buddha in Nara is famous.

What was the death toll this episode? This is the first time they've leveled a city.

>>280932051
they mentioned that it was mostly evacuated

>>280932346
Yeah, but there was still a lady running from her car in the first scene with the Buddha stomping cars. So there were definitely still people around.

>>280926856
Straight improvement.

>>280927463
Was this drawn before or after team rocket?

>>280932751
Did Sayaka lost the genetic lottery?

>>280933693
She's the normal one. Both Yaiba and Nadeshiko are developmental freaks in either direction.

Didn't Goemon have a One Piece-esque quirky laugh originally? It was a really awful one that sounded nothing like a laugh, though.

I don't get why the Buddha is 3d. I know no one does 2d mechs anymore. But the Buddha statue is just a guy in a robe.

The entire statue fight was really fun.

>>280933581
Before. Yaiba aired in 1993, Pokemon aired in 1997
Some of the people who worked on Yaiba also worked on Pokemon actually

>>280935697
>>280933581
Rocket-dan is based on the villains in the Time Bokan franchise.

>>280935400
It's probably less jarring or easier to animate/choreograph if both mechs were animated in the same style.

>>280927463
Yaib/11

>>280931673
Oh shit.

Any new fanservice?

>>280932713
>>280932751
I refuse to fap to a Ran look alike.

I still don't understand why they gotta shove smartphones into everything

>>280936029
They just wanted it to be in modern times instead of a 90s period piece.

>>280936029
It's most likely to appeal to kids. Yaiba is aiming for that audience and I imagine the new anime is to get a new generation of kids into it.

>>280936029
>>280936413
nips unironically hate it when a modern show is set in older times not counting period pieces

>>280937202
if its set in older times it is a period piece

>>280937202
Why? Isn't history interesting to them?

>>280925897
Boo hoo retard.
Yaiba is a passion project. If you have an issue with its existence, take it up with the Japanese fans of your favourite shit not being accomplished anime staff.

>>280936029
>>280937202
Yaiba airs in the morning alongside Detective Conan (which has a similar sliding technology timeline, from fax machines all the way to modern smart phones), and it's not a period piece. Technology is irrelevant to Yaiba.
If you do consider its placement in time important, then smartphones have an even greater justification for being there- Yaiba is set only a couple years prior to Detective Conan.

>>280936029
Yaiba's premise is "battle shonen with swords, set in modern Japan"
"Modern Japan" in 1988 was 1988
"Modern Japan" in 2025 is 2025

>>280937233
history isn't interesting to most people, anon

>>280925280 (OP)
I just want to say, whoever works on this show, they remind me of the better times, when anime was FUN. When you didn't have an entire committee of "think of overseas audience" cucks, when anime was just a thing in itself, not beholden to market research or trend analysis or what have you. (I know this was always a thing, don't ruin my pink glasses)
I don't know if this is the last show there japanese do their WJT or not but I'm glad for this show's existence every week.

>>280938937
it's rose-tinted glasses you boorish ape. now fux your posture and face reality

>>280939087
That ain't rose tinted glasses tho. It's recognizing the manifestations of some kind of societal rot that has crept into entertainment in general.

>>280939359
>crept into
it's been there since money was invented

>>280925280 (OP)
This episode felt really special. It was beautifully made.

>>280939470
Corruption on some level yes, but the capability of appreciating simplicity and fun was still there.

Now the rot is so deep that people have the constant need of shouting to the world how deep the stick in their ass have gotten into.

>>280940081
you should read up on ancient greek theatres and their detractors

>>280940081
It's irony poisoning. And, contrary to what the other anon would have you believe, it is a new phenomenon. But I think it's on its way out.

>>280927463
People pointed out how good the giants look. But I like how the buildings and the cityscape are incorporated into the action scenes. They are seamless with Yaiba.
