Did this show end up being worthwhile? I stopped about halfway in because it just seemed to be the same shtick from episode 1 on repeat.
Eizouken
What's wrong with repetition?
One hundred thousand moe SoLs and one hundred thousand battle shounen e gorge themselves on their predecessors and nobody bat's an eye. One show tries to show the intricacies of anime production and the whole world shuts down.
You're not smart for having a different opinion. Vanity isn't cool.
It's not bad, it's just boring.
The fantansy sequences were cringy.
Its fun, not a whole lot going on in terms of emotional highs though.
I wouldn't continue if you thought the first half was bad.
I was asking if it was worthwhile or not. I take your response to mean you didn't watch any other anime this season.
peaked with episode 8. relies a lot on you liking the characters more than keeping you engaged with the story. it was worth it for me
To give a somewhat generic response; otaku/niche interest shows and media like this is very much a "if you like the thing its about you will like it" sort of show. Shirobako, Gundam Build Fighters are shows that you have to like what they are centered on (The voice acting industry and gunpla/model kits respectively) so if you have no real interest in animation and production this show doesn't really hold much for you.
>The fantansy sequences were cringy.
I'm glad someone other than me thought this. Felt like watching Reading Rainbow or something.
I'm the user who posted about weather in Eizoken in the last thread. I went through all episodes again to see what I could find.
The show is set in 2050s (according to a calendar seeing on the wall in one of the frames), and contains a few subtle references to global warming running rampant, sea level rising, and extreme weather conditions in the majority of episodes. While there are many places on Earth with even more extreme weather than Shibahama, when we're talking about fiction the weather is rarely mentioned unless it serves some plot related purpose, and even then in anime we rarely get more than a single obligatory "heatwave episode" or a "typhoon episode".
Episode 1 - Asakusa stays alone at home during a storm, her apartment's windows are equipped heavy storm shutters you don't normally see in residential buildings
Episode 2 - The characters get caught in a storm at the end of the episode, with a casually dropped "I wonder if the trains are even running" line.
Episode 3 - It's hailing while the Asakusa and Mizusaki are repairing the room
Episode 7 - A lightning storm, all student are told to leave the campus early
Episode 8 - Kanamori confronts air conditioning club. One of the blackmail photos shows a month long heatwave with current temperature outside being 36.1 C.
Episode 9 - It's raining outside during the student council meeting. A giant snowstorm in Kanamori's flashback.
Episode 10 - Abandoned water generator building.
Episode 11 - Abandoned building with a banner promoting solar energy, a flooded highway and parking lot.
Episode 12 - The final shot of the anime is Earth full of crater lakes and with massive areas flooded. It's hard to say how much of it is real, and how much is a product of Asakusa's imagination.
if you're intrested in art, you'll find this really entertaining
Also in the flashback episode they refer to late model jimny's as "old cars" and Shibahama being a ski resort
It was nice. The was only one thing that bothered me. Why there are so many ni..color people in the japanese school?
... seriously user? That's pretty racist.
>Why there are so many ni..color people in the japanese school?
Whew, that was close.
I almost called Hiroyuki to remove my ads in this place.
It's 30 years from now. Japan has evolved into a multicultural, ethno-centrically balanced society.
I think Japan would become isolationist again before that happened, and certainly not within 30 years considering most of Japan considers people with hair colors other than black as foreign.
It aint a secret that Japan is pretty homogeneous (and xenophobic). It looked really unusual
Japan got juiced in the future, let's hope it doesn't happen in this timeline.
felt the same way. didn't post about it because I knew faggots like would appear and start crying in walls of text at any form of criticism towards their beloved show
This is some top-tier information, thanks a lot. It finally explains the underwater cars and roads.
It's set in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Just by using that trick you get a clear sense of the violence and degradation of society without them having to show any shocking scenes that would clash with the overall tone.
To appeal their targeted audience, reddit
It's a sjw show. No need to watch this because it encourages redditors to get in the anime industry.
Most redditors here came from some trump dedicated reddit.
This is not the LWA thread.
It's the future where certain group of people won completely, user. I wonder if the riot control squads in school were just a joke.
Yes, Trump the juicelover.
Does LWA have niggers? Even in Netflix I'm seeing a bunch of nigger leads in a medevil setting when we know whites are knights.
>because it just seemed to be the same shtick from episode 1 on repeat
I can see how you might have thought this if you stopped on episode 2, but if it was afterwards, you're a dumbass
You mean the guy who married his children to jews?
Reminder that this isn't an anime problem, this is a you problem.
>NNOOOOO YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO AGREE WITH ME!
neck yourself
which can be applied to all of you. fucking mouthbreather
i need the chi-chi-cha music
>36.1 C
That's not even that hot.
who are you quoting you tourist scum?
saving up (you)'s much
Yeah by the end it was just kinda so-so.
I couldn't shake off the feeling that I'm watching autists have a sword fight in Walmart whenever a dream sequence starts.
>Did this show end up being worthwhile?
To this precise question? Not at all, for starters if you watch episode 1 you have already seen the entire show so you don't even need to watch the rest, this show have a very precise target audience and I can understand these people liking it but most people won't and that's perfectly acceptable. In my opinion the show failed in every single aspect and didn't created a single memorable moment, precisely by the fact that they just repeat the exact same sketch over and over again.
That's literally canon. Did you not see Asakusa flopping her arms and running around before the sequences even start?
That character literally reeks of Aspergers. How do ppl not see this??
Everyone in Eizouken threads always point out how Asakusa acts like a total aspie.
For me, it's Mizusaki.
I looked like she was close to punching someone in the last episode when the audio was all messed up.
Her animation was RUINED
Maybe if you are living in the desert
It hits close to that in July and August in Japan already. It's not exactly on the level of "apartments have retracting steel window covers"
If you are a creative person, or work in a creative industry, youll find something about this series that resonates with you.
I loved it, and i hope theres going to be a second season.
The AC is for the heat, the steel blinds are for the storms.
yes, but at least it's better than all the seasonal anime
The AC and the temp aren't anything abnormal and shouldn't be counted.
Like Shirobako, this is a show about animators, for animators. Just less serious, with more unrealistic scenes. If you're not an artistic person, it will not resonate with you.
I work as an artist in a different industry, and some of the stuff they do and say is smack on. Especially the bit about enthusiasm crashing against deadlines, resources and compromise.
>t. never had a childhood
it's ok, I understand the desire to always conform to what the world around you perceives as productive and orderly, even if I don't agree with it
>outside temperature just 2 degrees away from fever
>"nothing abnormal"
yeah ok.
This is practically common knowledge
Japan hitting 100f isn't abnormal right now.
>artistic
*autistic
>assblasted stormfaggot is also a wojakposter
Nothing new.
why is always the people against something that have to fling s*yjaks and spam and never the people defending their interests?
almost like some people just come into threads to shit on the floor but what would I know about that
reminder, reddit
Climate change doesnt necessarily mean the overall temperature of the earth is going to rise drastically, it could simply mean that weather changes drastically.
We dont know if that 36c weather is during summer or winter.
