Wait were you the one asking for Code Geass impressions and what to expect from this thread before watching a while ago?
Sorry if my assumption was wrong.

Gaming side reminded me the P5A final OVA or whatever is tomorrow.
DeNA owned it then and iirc mal db/news people were quick to point the issue came from the DeNA side of things

I can't quite put a finger on the origin of your avatar and it bothers me ... Is it Kancolle or some mobage ?
That arc was good stuff. Peak really IIRC, so do enjoy it, cause it declines after it as far as I'm concerned, other than that one amazeballs episode later on.

This seems way more promising than I had anticipated when this was first announced. Somehow, I must've missed that Masaomi Andou is directing Astra Lost in Space; Andou is most well known as the director of School-Live! (Gakkou Gurashi!) and Scum's Wish (Kuzu no Honkai).
I'm sure it will be the same quality as the rest of the show. Won't be a rushed mess at all no sir.
Okay, this looks really interesting. And so colourful, too!
I wouldn't have minded it, if there were any concequences for the actions people took. Everything is just magically fixed in a few months and our Princess and her retainers are just frockling along with the people that murdered the people important to them and raped their land in an unjustified and unprovoked war. They even make a big deal out of Yuki taking responsiblity for nuking the planet, but then nothing happens to her, when execution would have been more likely.
As someone who has the read the manga, I can confirm that it's good shit. While Promised Neverland got more attention from the recent batch of jump series, I personally prefer Dr. Stone (especially since where the promised Neverland kind of starts dropping in quality, Dr. Stone is continuing to go up imo)
but they laid people off, restructued to reduce redundancies, joined the AT&T and Warner Network, how in the world do they need to increase prices is beyond me. Its not even like they robust always available site access with unprecedented levels of downtime to even warrant the price for infrastructure. Terrible.
I can't tell 100% from the summary, but it doesn't seem like the more typical shonen formula I'm so used to. Glad to see confirmation. Something to look forward to. Actually seems like there's a bunch of new shows/franchises popping up during the summer season.
I really hope this show is able to get fan-subs, like High Score Girl, as I don't want to wait half a year for it to get officially release.
It really isn't. It's more of an adventure show based around SCIENCE then anything, and while fights do happen they're pretty rare, and even a lot of "action" scenes are more atypical and not fight based
well, her retainers have all been dying throughout the show
but yea, it's really dumb. i'm don't think execution is a realistic thing though, she basically ended a war and saved the planet
my opinion was basically already formed before this ep, it's not like you can do much with only one ep left, but that ceiling drop sealed the deal for me
the few likeable characters gone, the unlikeable ones living happy, blergh
It gets old and stale fast, hence why it has failed to grow since it started. anime looks like the last ditch effort to save the series before it has a premature end.
Sad my fav character didnt make it into the pv. :(
Yeah, the SCIENCE part mixed with perhaps-not-so-mad-scientist trying to jump start society is what lead me to believe that this would be unconventional. Also the character designs!
Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?
A reminder that DTL has very unconventional tastes and is definitely not representive of the average AnimeEra user
Anime Preview for Dr Stone looks okay, art is pretty good, doubt it'll be much of a juggernaut in the animation department but that's fine, and Yuzuriha appears to look more human here so that's good as well. Still stand by that Dr Stone is some hot garbage partly because of its terrible female designs, easily some of the worst in recent years. Hope the anime can make the other female characters look less like aliens as well.
That's looking real good can't wait to watch it.

It'd be pretty hard to be an animation juggernaut with the character designs they went with in fairness. They look great, but highly detailed character don't lend themselves well to fantastic animation
I mean, people have their own definitions but to me both of these seem "very shounen" to me. They're just so hyper about everything (The Promised Neverland takes a while to get to that point, of course). The main characters are constantly screaming their ideals while everyone around them can't help but comment on their supreme smartness 24/7. Feels like everything from battle shounen is still kind of there even if actual fights aren't that frequent.
While I do prefer more fluid animation I don't think I'll mind if the animation is average or a bit stiff here because of how good the art is. And Yuzuriha design looks better in the anime than in the manga from what I can tell. So that makes me hopeful that the other female characters look better here as well. And if that does end up being the case I'll be right back on the Dr. Stone like before. I like this series but man those female designs are just ugh.J
Ah, well I'll temper my expectations as I go into it. It just seemed like it would be unique, but I suppose that might be a trap. Any reasons why authors are so inclined to follow a particular formula in the first place? Because it has been proved to be successful?
I have a suspicion that editors and publishers also sometimes push them to a certain direction, but that may just be laying the blame on someone else. Have seen enough oddities here and there to make me doubt the inherent influence of non-authors. Likely fans are far more likely to influence an author from what I've seen in some interviews (disposal of fan favourite characters).
Keep in mind that the chemistry/science angle certainly is a unique aspect to it. But still, it's somewhat comparable to people calling Shokugeki no Soma a Cooking Battle Shounen. Story and character are all pretty simple and over the top.
Also keep in mind that Dr. Stone is a bit weak in the character department during the first arc. It gets way better in the second arc, though.

Dr. Stone isn't a Battle Shonen at all. And we all know that romance, romcom, comedy, mystery and other genres from shonen demography don't have those all the time. It also depends on the magazine it's serialized and even more if it's weekly (which is more for teenagers and children) and monthly (which is more for teenagers and young adults). For example, in Shonen Jump the manga have their own style and they generally won't be very realistic in many aspects independent of the genre because that's how it's the intention, unlike in Shonen Magazine, where you'll have more down to earth manga like Koe no Katachi, Domestic na Kanojo, Kimi no Iru machi, Runway de Waratte and other series.
Influence, what works more on the magazine and what the public of it likes more, what they want to work with, suggestions. It has dozens of motives and it differs from each person.
I mean, kinda.
I find the whole "we made a promise when we were kids" cliche in romance stories to be EXTREMELY played out and frustrating. Kids make a lot of stupid promises, I once promised my best friend that we were gonna be cowboy astronaut millionaires.
I kinda hope that he discovers that one of the Quints is his childhood friend and yet realizes that that shit doesn't matter and he ends up with somebody else. Japan as a whole seems to love the concept of the red string of fate though...
