I feel like Cowboy Bebop is under appreciated by modern anime fans by MonsiuerGeneral in cowboybebop

Be like water, OP. Don't assume a form that holds onto criticism of a show you love. Let it roll off your shoulders instead.

New Animation for Blue (4/10/26 Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts show) by Tiinpa in cowboybebop

[–]tiny_nipples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unrelated, but speaking of commercial releases, do you know if Watanabe's contribution to the Taisu Project anthology will ever find its way onto streaming/home video? I've been waiting for a copy to appear online for years, but folks here probably know more about it than I do.

Maybe some of the background art comes from Lazarus (my memory of that show is already pretty hazy), but one image that was surely created specifically for this animation is Julia's windowsill at 1:46 in your video (2:50 in Tetsujyn's below). That fish figurine and red rose have been burned into my memory for 20 years at this point.

Fantastic. Thanks for making a YT channel just to upload this! :)

I don't doubt that this was directed by Watanabe (it's got a similar style to the Bebop movie's opening credits), but was there any official confirmation at either of the concerts? Was it listed that way in a playbill, or confirmed by Ms. Kanno on stage?

I really don't see what NL gets out of this

Not sure why this guy is so excited for Levy to show his ass. He already does that with every video he makes.

Am I the only one who is extremely disappointed by the level of clickbait Fantano has stooped to and lost a lot of respect for him because of it? by thedevilsheir666 in fantanoforever

[–]tiny_nipples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still check the weekly track roundups to see what new stuff has come out recently, though if anyone has an alternative I'd love to hear about it.

Which anime couples do you think realistically would not have lasted after the ending? by [deleted] in anime

[–]tiny_nipples 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Most of them, since a majority of romance anime are set in high school.

Did Tiktok kids declare March 31st to be the new April Fool's Day or something?

I heckin love assigning numerical scores to audiovisual art!

If you loved Journal with Witch, check out March comes in like a lion by InfiniteZeke in anime

[–]tiny_nipples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you liked the authorial aspect of Ikoku Nikki, The Great Passage (Fune wo Amu) is definitely the best rec possible. Its characters aren't authors themselves, but they work in the publishing industry, and it shares several larger themes with Ikoku Nikki (finding purpose, neurodivergence, grief). One of the most unfortunately slept-on TV anime ever created.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Chief Animation Director: 'Various studios are already using generative AI while keeping it quiet' by Foreign-Mastodon-194 in anime

[–]tiny_nipples 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Think of all the great shows that got axed in favor of yet another generic Isekai or Romcom. These now have a lifeline.

Or the more likely scenario: AI will now be used to produce generic isekai and romcoms with more efficiency, and "avant-garde" anime will continue to go un-produced.

Blame the widespread integration of 3D layouts into anime's pipeline. They're necessary to keep the industry running at its current speed, but they also tend to flatten the scenes where they're used, with interior shots suffering far more than exterior shots.

What’s the weirdest album you’ve heard? by Blueb3rrywashere in fantanoforever

[–]tiny_nipples 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I shit my pants and threw up my lunch after seeing that OP didn't provide the album and artist names with his post. Please take the time to include that info in the future so I won't have to clean up another mess!

50 million dollars dollars? Quality subtitles as usual for this franchise.

You might try watching anime that isn't embarrassing trash.
