I’m hyped for this. Love the manga and s1 was great (about 9yrs ago I think). The s2 animation looks quite disappointing though but I’m still looking forward to it.

The animation does look stilted. Don’t really know what the S1 animation was like as I mostly watched it on an iPhone during pandemic duties downtime so any issues would have been mostly unnoticed unless truly awful.
Will give s2 a good shot as I enjoyed s1 a lot.

Breaking news! I…I never expected this.

Nice, I hope it’s a new story and not a retelling of the original. It’s interesting that they can do this separately from the Netflix live action series - you’d have thought only one of them owned the rights.

Yes, was more expository than I was expecting. Even though it was forward progress it felt weird as it seemed out of character for her to take that tact. Im sure they’ll find a way to drag this out for another year.
The last chapter of One Punch Man was a big WTF, in a good way.
Im not putting out much hope for this being on the same level as the original, Korra makes me skeptical.

I honestly got confused at first. Where I read it from the latest ch didn’t make sense at all. But after that they released another ch that was supposed to replace the one prior to the latest ch, because the author apparently changed it on a whim.
If you treat this new content as canon or extra side stories I wouldn’t really mind if it weren’t on the same level. Also, I don’t think this will have any relation with Korra.
Ahhh, I thought they did something just to add more continuity to the chapter as it adds a new element to the world. I should go back and read the previous chapter to see what happened.
Chainsaw Man part 2 drops in July!?!?!?!
Ive just seen a headline and not much more, apparently releasing in multiple languages in a bid to stem pirated manga??
I need to look into this more later.

At first I thought you were referring to the anime but you mean the manga. Still great news but I think I’m more excited to hear when the anime will come out. Probably fall season.

Yeah, just the manga. I felt there was a lot of open questions with the series so maybe this will address some of them. Im considering re reading it as I binged it the first time.
Wonder if this was alway the plan or if the anime adaptation sparking interest lead to a revival of some sort.
Not as into anime as I used to be, but I’ve been following One Piece since I lived in Japan in 1999 and I’ll be danged if I’m going to stop now.

Never read or watched it. I think the manga might be coming to an end???
It’s starting the ‘final arc’ next month, which should be intense. Probably gonna be 4-5 years to resolve it. The current arc has been going since 2018 and is just now winding down.

It’s happening! It’s actually happening!! @perogie
Considering A1 productions studio is handling it with sawano for music… It’s in good hands

All they need to do is animate it like the manhwa, same color scheme and style and this will be a huge winner. Hard to say what kind of music will accompany it but if its similar to the trailer then that may add a lot to it.
Very little to go off of from the trailer but at least it does seem like they are following the manhwa art style.
This is one where they should stick very closely to the source material. I will reread it once the anime is closer to release, or maybe even sooner.

Sawano has a pretty distinct style. Can’t really miss it if you’re into his works (ie. AoT, kill la kill, guilty crown, 86, etc).
Same. Hopefully its success will bring about better manhwa adaptations. I’d love to see a ‘skill of lure’ adaptation.
Which reminds me, have you seen that cyberpunk trailer? I’m not into the games but it very much looks as good as arcane.
Annoying when you finish a series that came out a few years ago, find out there was a follow up OVA and cant easily find it… you’d think the service that carried the series would also support the OVA…

Well. It’s prime day and I have signed up for a week. If I don’t find anything else I think I’ll finally watch these 4 movies.
Thanks!

I have seen them and I’d personally watch the anime series over the movies (which is kind of a hot mess tbh). But if you don’t plan on watching the original series anyway, then maybe it’s worth trying.
I did say don’t quote me. Lol
You’ve been warned!
