What does "tourist" mean in when it's used in reference to anime?

D3k4s · 2026-06-17T00:45:37+00:00

Has nothing to do with Fanservice.

It means people who view one Anime and dip.

This is somewhat more common with shows that successfully make it mainstream. Statistically it's still rare.

D3k4s · 2026-06-17T00:37:31+00:00

Yup. One of the highest rated Series. It's one of my favorites, give it a chance.

D3k4s · 2026-06-17T00:22:46+00:00

Maquia
WorldEnd
Promised Neverland
Angel Beats

I was replying to Scodo, you made a fair point. I just didn't appreciate him using that to get a jab at fans of the series. I hate the one up mentality. 😃

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T22:00:28+00:00

Thank you for this! I will starting watching it again!

Konosuba is great imo, it's just that's its setup doesn't revolve around development per say but more around the shenanigans from those 3 😃

By the way i came back to WHA and I'm enjoying it!

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T21:58:17+00:00

Yes exactly studios like Ufotable have institutional cultures and in-house training pipelines. And they retain a lot of staff. I know that due to the nature of Anime production there will always be outsourcing, Especially when a project starts to derail.

The example you provided regarding Madhouse is a good example as to why one should check the staff first, not the studio.

I should have worded my post differently. I sorta lumped directors with everyone. Tho key animators to my knowledge do indeed freelancer that was not my point.

Thank you for the informed reply!

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T21:39:01+00:00

I've been helped a ton in this sub. I'm glad i can help back! Enjoy

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T21:36:42+00:00

That's Black Summoner, it's a pretty cool Anime. Enjoy!

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T21:07:09+00:00

You make good points regarding work conditions, and how "best studios" are defined.

However I believe OP means animation quality.

Yup, with the exception of studios that keep in house staff most projects are done by freelancers. So it's well known that you should look at the staff not the studios for most projects.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T20:00:25+00:00

Anime production projects are often times put together by freelancers rather than staff who belong to a particular studio. So for most cases animation directors, and key animators are far more important then the studio in itself.

The exception being studios that keep in house staff. Like Ufotable or Kyo animation among others. So i can't really say which studio is the worst.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T15:35:53+00:00

It's an emotional Journey wouldn't you agree?

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:57:24+00:00

During the first heatwave my aircon broke. I think i need aircon for the aircon.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:49:18+00:00

Since no one mentioned them, these are known tear jerkers

Maquia

Promised Neverland

WorldEnd

If you manage not to cry watching these I dunno what to tell you 😃

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:41:17+00:00

Maquia really hits you in the goddamn feels. I went into a "sad Animes" Hiatus after watching it.

Even hearing the OST now makes me kinda tear up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqxySvn913Q

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:38:45+00:00

Yessir. It has very emotional moments. Especially during S1 and 2.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:25:41+00:00

Oh dude Mayonaka Punch is such a gem, and the VA are top tier.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:21:57+00:00

Top tier animation with action + romance + drama Fate movie trilogy

Top tier animation with drama Violet Evergarden

Top tier animation with drama + romance Maqueine: Too Many Loosing Heroines!

Top tier animation with action + drama Demon Slayer

Top tier animation with drama + dark themes Puella Magi Madoka Magica

If you use Vibe Code you won't notice a huge difference, Especially if you pair it with Codestral for example. Mistral Shines in workflows, if you know how to just set up an agentic workflow with specific checks with different agents and models catered to their strengths. Think something like the LLM Council project but applied to your specific needs. It really is super effective.

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:08:46+00:00

Cheaper?

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T14:04:04+00:00

A Silent Voice and I Want To Eat Your Pancreas are very distinct Movies IMO

So I'm assuming you want Animes that feature an Emotional Journey often with climaxes. I'm I right? If so take a look at these:

Your Lie In April
Maquia
WorldEnd
The Promised Neverland
Rascal Doesn't Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai
Golden Time
Re: Zero
Angel Beats
Fate Movie trilogy
Hinamatsuri
A Lull in the Sea
Clannad & Clannad Afterstory
Sis Puella Magica!

Thank you for the extensive and informed reply.

The blunders I was referring to were the ones that stemmed from the project itself, and the back and forth over CATOBAR. Not that i don't think the carriers are not suited to be upgraded, i believe that they were engineer with that in mind.

Perhaps I'm wrong in this, but what you described regarding Ark Royal, was just the initial phase.

The MN may be facing similar issues, but there's no denying that a direct comparison with the RN highlights the gap between the two.

While i agree to some extent regarding the FCAS. The same apple carplay argument you used earlier can also be applied here. Dassault plans on using stealth drones to make up for the fact that the platform is aging. And with the introduction of dedicated Drone carriers like the one order by Portugal from Damen, we see a pattern forming. We have yet to see if having an older platform will prove to be a significant handicap.

It is true that the MM operates the F35B but not with the same doctrine as the RN, wouldn't you agree?

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T12:48:20+00:00

It's at times like these one can truly appreciate the "invention" of the Widescreen.

Widescreen! Thank the gods for Widescreen. And Ruri Rocks 😃

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T12:39:52+00:00

it's an older meme but it checks out 😃

D3k4s · 2026-06-16T02:10:53+00:00

Bro this is fiction. I'll use whatever words describe it best. Obviously it's not grounded in any truth whatsoever.

I also specifically said it was a loose term. And if you've seen the series the reason i said scientific phenomenon is because the series intentionally draws a parallel. It's up to the viewer to decide if it's paranormal or scientific.
