Corvin's character is pretty fun, as someone who grew up with Sword Art Online his design is really fun, clearly inspired by both Kirito and Eugeo. His quest story is pretty basic besides the iconic Tora line. However, it is interesting how it questions the dynamic between blades and drivers, and why they need to class themselves as different from one another. Corvin views the party as friends and equals and they began to feel the same in response.

Maybe a good ship:Majima x Chisato

 Majima is the weird antagonist in Lycoris recoil,people dislike him,while others deduce he’s kind.Let’s keep in mind this isn’t a yuri anime,plus let’s see that a maybe healthy ship began.

A Pacifist Warrior

In the entire series he doesn't seem to kill anyone directly despite totting all kinds of guns, from a small hand revolver to a friggin PKM.

Episode 12 and the cleaners. For all intents and purposes they look just knocked out. No trace of blood everywhere, no odd limb or neck angles to indicate anything broken or twisted necks... yes, he likely had to fight them hand-to-hand presicely for the reason of being allowed by  Chisato and Takina to leave unarmed,albeit he didn't seem to have gone for the kill, just knocking them out of his way.

The Scene

I ship them. The serene scene of their conversation is Wholesome:)

I’ll wait to watch Lycoris Recoil season 2,to see more of them.

✨ LYCORIS RECOIL: CHISATO E TAKINA TORNERANNO CON UNA SERIE DI CORTI SLICE OF LIFE!

Esatto, il nuovo progetto che ci avevano anticipato l'anno scorso si è rivelato essere una miniserie di 6 episodi dall'impronta, all'apparenza, più cozy e rilassata. Cosa fra l'altro gradita, da parte mia.

Ogni puntata sarà diretta da un regista differente, che si occuperà anche dello storyboarding. Shingo Adachi, ovviamente seguirà la propria creatura in qualità di supervisore, mentre il character designer Imigimuru (Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!, This Art Club Has a Problem!), per l'occasione, aiuterà anche con la sceneggiatura.

Se vi chiedete dove recuperare la serie originale, trovate tutti i 13 episodi sottotitolati in streaming su Crunchyroll.

Lycoris Recoil  • Chisato Nishikigi Episode #04: Nothing seek, nothing find Directed by: Shingo Adachi

[animesavior]

Clark: “One week ago, Earth faced an alien invasion. You’ve heard different versions of what happened, but we at the Daily Planet have a duty to bring you the truth.” Jimmy: “The truth is that Superman and his cousin [Supergirl] saved us. But they weren’t alone.” Lois: “The people of Metropolis came together to help them, putting aside their differences to protect our home.” Clark: “The invader was defeated, and justice came to those who those who tried to benefit from fear and pain.” Lois: “But even as this brought out the best in many, it brought out the worst in others. And there will always be new threats to face.” Clark: “No one knows what will come next for Metropolis, but there’s one thing we at the Daily Planet know for certain…” Jimmy: “No matter what the future holds…” Lois: “No matter what is thrown at us…” Clark: “We will face it together.” -          My Adventures with Superman (Season 2, Ep. 10)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for the month of July 2024. During these past few weeks, fans got to enjoy the final two episodes of My Adventures with Superman season 2, among other great moments. And as July is the month of San Diego Comic-Con, Toonami viewers got to enjoy some big announcements in regard to several upcoming shows.

During the night of the airing of the penultimate episode of My Adventures with Superman season 2 on July 13-14, #MyAdventuresWithSuperman would trend on the USA on Twitter, while One Piece trended on Tumblr. And during the night of July 20-21, where we saw the season 2 finale of My Adventures with Superman, #Toonami would trend in the US alongside #MyAdventuresWithSuperman and #NarutoShippuden. #Toonami also trended on Tumblr. The night of July 27-28 did not see any trends, as Toonami showcased a MAWS marathon of season 2 during SDCC week.

As for Toonami Rewind, #ToonamiRewind would trend in the US during the broadcasts of July 12, 19, and 26, though on July 19, Sailor Moon and Naruto would also trend in the US, while Naruto also trended on Tumblr. Which isn’t bad, especially considering that on July 26, both the Olympics opening ceremony and Comic-Con were occurring at the same time.

As mentioned, San Diego Comic-Con took place at the end of July, and in case you missed it, Toonami fans got to enjoy several announcements during the convention. The big news was that we got a brand-new show announcement in Rooster Fighter by Shū Sakuratani.

Adult Swim announced that the English dubbed version of Rick and Morty: The Anime will premiere on Thursday August 15 @ midnight EDT/PDT, while the Japanese (with English subtitles) version will air on Toonami on Saturday, August 17 @ midnight.

Also, towards the end of the Rick and Morty panel, Jason DeMarco also revealed that we finally have a release date for Junji Ito’s Uzumaki after several years of delays: September 28, 2024 at 12:30 a.m., following premiere episodes of Rick and Morty: The Anime. Back during Anime Expo 2024, the Uzumaki cast was revealed by Production I.G, with Abby Trott as Kirie Goshima and Robbie Daymond as Shuichi Saito. In addition, Lazarus, the newest work of Shinichiro Watanabe, will be scheduled to premiere in 2025.

Finally, during the Demon Slayer panel on Saturday night, Aniplex announced that Demon Slayer’s third season, the Swordsmith Village arc, will begin airing on Toonami this August 10.

Meanwhile, for those who have been wanting to see more Lycoris Recoil, it’s been announced during the show’s second anniversary program that there are six short films in the works, that will depict the daily lives of Chisato, Takina, and others in the LycoRico cast. While Director Shingo Adachi will return in supervising, each of the six movies will feature different people handling direction and storyboarding, including character designer Imigimuru will be in charge of some of the scripts. A release date is to be announced.

Of course, this won’t be the end of My Adventures with Superman, as DC is hard at work creating the show’s third season, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we’ll have the trending rundown for the first few weeks of August, including the premiere of Demon Slayer's Swordsmith Village arc and the premiere of Rick and Morty: The Anime, out in the coming days, as with other articles and interviews from San Diego Comic-Con coming soon. Until next time, Be sure to register to vote for this year’s elections if you’re eligible and haven’t already, and let’s go Team USA.

Lycoris Recoil sets up shop on Toonami on January 20, 2024.

Chisato, Takina, and the girls of “LycoRico” will be joining the Toonami lineup this January 20, 2024. Edit Revealed on Friday afternoon on Aniplex USA’s social media pages and during the Lycoris Recoil Special Event Panel at Anime NYC 2023, Aniplex would announce that Lycoris Recoil, the original anime series created by Spider Lily and Asaura and directed by Shingo Adachi, will be making its…

And of course they Crunchyroll'ing hard as shit.

Shingo Adachi's Story of Meteor Artbook: Front and Back Covers

Finally, this now closes the book on my first sorta attempt at a full scanlation of something. Yes, it's been posted online by many others over the years in some form, but I tried to make my attempt at it as clean and nice as possible, due to how much I adore this art.

15 years after it first came out, I was personally just learning what was actually said in it myself for the first time, so hopefully I did it some justice. Thanks for being patient with it over the last 2 and a half months. For those who don't save my stuff daily (how dare you not! ;p), I guess I'll make a zip available of it as well, for your convenience. You can get that here. (746 MB) As I alluded to last week, going to take another short hiatus from Scan of the Day posts so that I can fully focus on Secret Santa art. Whether I'm back before Christmas or not depends on how well I do on that with my free time. Otherwise, I should be back posting at the end of December.

Already have scans started, but I will be diving into storyboards from Axess Ep. 6 (The Most Dangerous Ball Game!) next. Let's Bowling! Because I have the whole episode for this one, that is a lot of pages. Also, the storyboard art is not as detailed this time around. So I might do 2 pages a day or more, just to speed through it a bit faster. Otherwise, it would be 4 months worth, if I do a page a day. ^^; We shall see.

Realizan cortometrajes de "Lycoris Recoil"

Lanzan seis cortometrajes sobre la vida cotidiana de los personajes del anime "Lycoris Recoil" (@lycoris_recoil).

Los fans del anime Lycoris Recoil tienen una recompensa a su espera, esta vez en forma de una serie de cortos. Un programa especial del segundo aniversario anunció planes para seis cortometrajes en total, cada uno de los cuales representa la vida diaria de Chisato, Takina y otros. Con la supervisión del director Shingo Adachi, cada una de las seis películas contará con diferentes personas a cargo…

[newsintheshell]

✨ SEMPRE IN TEMA DI NOVITÀ IN CANTIERE, IL TEAM DI "POMPO LA CINEFILA" È AL LAVORO SU UN NUOVO PROGETTO!

Il film questa volta sarà del tutto originale e, al momento, è conosciuto solo con il nome in codice "WASTED CHEF", ma avendo visto di cosa è capace lo staff, ha già la mia curiosità.

Alla regia si cimenta nuovamente Takayuki Hirao (God Eater, Gyo) e il character design è sempre in mano al buon Shingo Adachi (Lycoris Recoil, Sword Art Online).

Il tutto, ovviamente, è in produzione presso lo studio CLAP (The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbye) e le musiche sono curate ancora una volta da Kenta Matsukuma (Kamen Rider Black Sun).

[joyce-stick]

The actual answer is that simpler character designs with less details are easier to animate.

In Callum May's video on Lycoris Recoil, he discusses this (this guy knows what he's talking about, he cites sources in the description, I'm mostly citing him cause he's an English language tertiary source) and says that, in essence, project director Shingo Adachi hired the anime's character designer, Muru Imigi, because Imigi draws "moe garbage". Although Imigi was a manga author who had no prior experience with character designs for an anime, Adachi felt that Imigi's style of simple faces and expressions suited the production's needs and would result in something more natural and interesting than if he'd hired a more experienced character designer.

"Less detail to animate, less work" has been a constant law of animation since, like, forever. If you watch a lot of American cartoons, you'll notice that a lot of characters have four fingers instead of five. The reason why this is, is because four fingers were easier to animate. (source)

There's a lot of things that have changed in anime production since the '90s and I can't give you a complete picture of why character design habits have changed since then, but it's most generally to do with that the ceiling for production value is higher now and there's a lot more young and inexperienced animators entering the fold (which is the cause of a lot of things really).

In my personal opinion, this meme is pretty reductive and blatantly cherrypicking. Both aesthetics are fine, and there's a lot of really good examples of both to be found across anime's history. Some anime go for more realistic detail and less flexibility, and some anime (albeit, yes, most these days, the animators have to die less somehow) go for less realistic but simpler designs that are really malleable and have a wider range in animation. It's a creative choice and a preference. (Albeit one that a certain contingent of anime fans disagree with because they feel it conflicts with their "mature" idea of anime or some such nonsense, and then people who simply don't like moe get lumped up in with those people... *cough* Well, anyway.) It's fine to not like a certain artstyle. You can just not like it and say it's not your thing without claiming that the prominence of a particular creative choice means anime has "degraded" somehow, or saying the people who do like it have shit taste.

EDIT: apparently the meme is supposed to be a joke, which, I didn't pick up on, but alright, I guess. Anyway the post is still true so I'm leaving up the post

What happened?
