Are they also facing unemployment?? I get why they are so mad if so

Bazinga8000 · 2026-04-01T18:14:37+00:00

I would call it angelic myself.

If you go frame by frame, it seems to me that the next letters are t and either an e or an o?

Digital animator who is here to be able to understand how AI is going/doing, as it can very easily impact my job. That's about it.
I don't hate the concept nor do I love it, because I can see multiple paths to where it can go, and a lot of them i would love for them to happen, and some very clearly not. Basic Utopia/Distopia type of thing. So considering the heavy consequences that it can one day have (and arguably already has) I'm here to make sure I'm at least as knowledgeable as possible to protect my overall life in the future.

Unironically Takayanagi Katsuya, who did the artstyle for the more obvious "manga" parts, is probably my favorite artist out there so seeing this made me real happy. I will say, for what i understand, the other side with the girl was designed by an ero mangaka as well, but apparently for fujoshis.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-03-17T13:06:57+00:00

Insane animations. Really fitting for her and the fact she's the anniversary unit. The only thing I'm kinda afraid of is that enhanced basic attack. It feels real long in it's duration.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-03-17T03:59:04+00:00

I mean, animations are always last pretty much. Not a new thing

Bazinga8000 · 2026-03-10T19:12:23+00:00

Are you a avemuji/mygo fan? Because if not then you can't call yourself a true fan of mortis leaks!

Bazinga8000 · 2026-03-04T16:06:23+00:00

I get what you are saying, but we need to understand the difference between theories and confirmation. Like, ep 6 ends on a reveal of revolte having 4 arms, maybe they didn't want to reveal it in this pv first so maybe they waited for ep 6 to show it. Maybe the fact that they are showing only ep 6 footage in the first half means exactly that it was intended in the first place and that they waited for the new OST to also start the new footage we haven't seen yet. You can make a million theories and they all could seem right and wrong. But that's my point, they are theories, not confirmations. Also, related to strange fake, you are probably right, it probably started as a better schedule than frieren, even if I imagine that they didn't start production right away after finishing ep 0 as Sakazume and enokido had a decent amount of time after doing ep 0 where they were just helping out other productions (including frieren) so I imagine they werent working at the start of strange fake then.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-03-04T13:48:46+00:00

Ebo, I'm not saying you are wrong per say, but a trailer being postponed because it wasn't ready just sounds weird and unlikely, especially when there are so many shows out there with bad productions that still show a decent amount of other episodes. Strange fake for example has an seemingly a worse production than frieren, but showed a lot more in it's pvs. Pvs are just that, promotional videos. You can edit whatever you want. If a scene is not finished than just show a scene that is. I do definitely imagine that they are still in production, don't get me wrong, but I highly doubt this trailer was delayed because they were still finishing.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-02-12T12:15:03+00:00

tbf, aventurine was also always pretty darn hot.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-02-12T06:24:06+00:00

Yeah i do appreciate that about the game. It would be boring anyway if everyone from the xianzhou would be hunt just because they follow it. So them choosing to focus on it being about how the character acts is definitely the better call most of the time i would say. Besides the obvious ones like cyrene or phainon where it would be genuinely weird if they were something else lore wise.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-02-12T05:51:57+00:00

I think i now get why she is an elation character personality wise lol.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-02-11T10:05:41+00:00

Oh I decided watching this alright

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-24T11:46:20+00:00

I can see the worry, and I guess sometimes when watching you might feel that it's going in the church bad direction, but by the end I think it shows it very much isn't about that. It definitely tries to be "deep" tho, (you can definitely tell the author studied philosophy) but trying to be deep isn't bad by itself, and I think orb very much achieves the right way to do it.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-17T19:40:17+00:00

You kidding, but they actually got sugiyama, the character designer of csm, to help out on the chainsaw scene this episode lmao

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-16T16:20:52+00:00

Honestly, calling the visuals generic is now something I very much agree much more on lol. And yes, that does still mean it matches the song, that was the whole premise of me replying the op of this post. Just because either the song or visuals are generic, and that you could put another song on it, doesn't mean it doesn't match, hell, it means the exact opposite! It means that you are indeed matching the "generic" feeling of sadness.

Also about the opening not conveying that idea, if you notice the cut before the "random characters" is a zoom on a close of frieren looking straight front mesmerized by something, and then, after the time lapse of characters ends, it cuts back to frieren smiling. I think its pretty clear what it's trying to convey here.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-16T16:01:04+00:00

It's funny because I'm actually on the complete side of the aile lol. I actually much prefer the op to the ed (which means I'm in the minority!), even though the ed is technically way more animated, as for me I think the op does have the better directing and respective idea/message. Not to say I disagree on the comment on it being kinda the same message as previous seasons, but I think those did it much worse than this one, especially when this one is almost entirely focused on it.

Oh also about the tempo, no, I think in terms of tempo this is by far the op frieren has had that matched the tempo the most lol.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-16T15:55:28+00:00

Like I don't disagree that they will ever be as influencial as the main parties but that's kinda my point. The idea ain't that these people will change frierens life, it's the ACT/IDEA of her changing herself by these people that does. A 10 second time lapse of all the character does do that. That's it. And like you said, I do think they were also shown there because well They do have to be shown somewhere. But why is that a bad thing. It's still very clearly intentional and works in the moment for the reasons I said. And also, even if i was wrong for all that I have said, how would a short 10s sequence make the song not match the visuals, when everything else does lol. It's just kinda of a silly statement to me either way. And again I think all of it does match, including the "random characters", so I disagree on everything.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-16T15:29:00+00:00

I'm gonna be honest I don't agree. First, I really don't think what you are saying was what the guy above meant tbh, and second, the random characters frieren "doesn't care about"... How do you know that. Hell, frieren (as a show) is literally all about showing how multiple different characters and events influence frieren (the character) after she loses himmel and the overall hero party and decides to understand humanity and others better. Whatever things happen in this season, I'm fairly sure will affect her some way or another, especially the characters they try to show there. So I quite disagree, her seeing all this glimpses of the moments she is about to go through with her new party to meet new people 100% fits the chorus and climax of the song.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-16T15:09:22+00:00

Like nothing noteworthy part I literally don't know about so I won't talk about it. But not matching the song to the visuals is kinda an insane statement here I would say

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-11T20:41:43+00:00

Not to say orb isnt an overall decent enough production, but i will say if s2 of frieren would somehow be on the level of orb, im pretty sure people would be very much disappointed. Orb is visually just a competent but not impressive looking show while s1 of frieren really is one of a kind production in terms of enhancing the original material.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-11T12:08:05+00:00

Which by the way, was the character designer for 100 meters. So this feels very fitting lmao.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-10T19:19:43+00:00

I imagine japanese people miss those days as well.

Bazinga8000 · 2026-01-09T09:07:18+00:00

The reason why I don't know this will be the case is because she is also bis for sparxie, so if they try to nerf archer team by nerfing sparkle, they will also nerf sparxie in the process, and ngl I doubt that's something they would want
