#what comes next that we'll hopefully see in s3 is some of my fav stuff in the manga too

[the-nysh]

by the by, I'm the anon who assailed you with the three "anime garou is too fucking chunky" asks so long ago. now, seeing his official character sheet, i finally grasp the cause of my misery. kubota-san, dear as he be, went purblind. can you look me in the eye and say that what's on that sheet is how he has ever looked in the manga? i won't actually hear the answer because i obviously came here to cavil,

and cavil about that disproportionate disgrace for whom i set the bar low yet he defiantly slithered beneath it, i would, expect i would more like to offer this prospect: season tres. done by Bones. famed for their sublime design, eminent animators and immodest animations, these brave men could give me & us that slender, clad-in-black-and-blood garou i craved and never received under Japan Creative Staff’s reign. just imagine that lean body done with the care reigen’s flat ass never received! that one exposed hip bone could enchant the masses! the bones magic applied on that 4x2 could do wonders! that chiseled back would apply boners! picture that ugly deathclaw on lovecraft steroids look in bone-chilling hd! imagine the staff of studio bones personally coming out of the screen during the Eye Scene and beating the shit out of you to apply both internal and external pain! is that not the kind of sincere dedication to the craft and anime man objectification this adaptation(& me) needs?

Oho ah yes, hello there again! :’D I had a feeling it was you, as who could ever forget your characteristically passionate and humorous way with words waxing such reverent & thirsty poetic about Garou! There’s only one person I recognize who regularly writes about him like that!

But I hear you, seeing his character sheet (from here) explained a lot about how much his model often varied on screen.

I can understand what happened, as it only reiterates how difficult it is to nail his body type down (he’s more slender and lithe; toned and coiled for unpredictable counter bursts of speed/power rather than a sharp beefy dorito who hulks around looking slower/older than he actually is). Murata draws a very fine line for him (absolutely no one compares to Murata’s no chill thirst for him), and these are just some of the moments I hope to see done with flourish in an eventual s3:

Mmdamn, and there’s still so much more; this is only just a tease of what to expect from him next season! ;o; Ideally, BONES would be my studio of choice to adapt this as well (with the same attention given to fma and mob), as they can specialize in delivering that raw, kinetic energy full of bold & stylized momentum, which is closer in spirit to Murata’s art rather than the clean and gorgeous 3d-enhanced special effects and sweeping camera angles (which is where ufotable specializes). Of course, who can say for sure what might happen next time, given the scheduling and how booked many studios are. I can only hope an eventual s3 gets made though, as many viewers still have yet to see the best of Garou we’ve all been waiting for. ;A;
