On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

The nominees were:

  • “X-Men ’97” (Disney+)
  • “The Simpsons” (Fox)
  • “Blue Eye Samurai” (Netflix)
  • “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox)
  • “Scavengers Reign” (HBO)

From my outsider's perspective, this was a battle between Blue Eye Samurai and Scavengers Reign, with Netflix willing to put the weakest promo campaign behind Blue Eye Samurai winning out over HBO letting the superior Scavengers Reign utterly hang out to dry (after giving the series screening rights up to Netflix after all).

Joseph Bennett, Charles Huettner: Keep making great shit. You have fans. Crowd-fund if you have to. People are here for what you're serving.

Can somebody deconstruct the first paragraph for me? Non native english speaker here.

Out of the nominated shows the winner most likely would be Blue Eye Samurai or Scavengers Reign. Blue Eye Samurai won because Netflix did a small amount of advertising for it. Scavengers Reign is better but HBO Max did not advertise for it at all.

Oh.. Now I get it. Thanks.

It is not that good. I hate when they hide the action because it is clear the hero would not survive.

I enjoyed it but in spite of the action. So many life-altering injuries are healed up in days.

I wouldn't have minded it that much if they didn't have a walking talking reminder that some of that shit doesn't grow back.

That said... Scavenger's Reign should have won.

This winning over Frieren or Apothecary Diaries is odd.

The quality of animation in those two Anime is high but fairly common, though more so in movies than in series. The quality of animation in BES is very rare, and very cinematic, and I can’t recall anything in recent years that looks anything like it.

Never mind how well written and directed it is.

Neither of those series were nominated for this award. I imagine they weren't due to not meeting eligibility requirements (release dates, platforms, spoken languages... dunno).

Probably one of the few Americans watched. Netflix and so on. Dub on day 1

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Heck yeah. I really enoyed this show.

I don't personally get the appeal. Based on all the recs I tried it out but had to tap out after 3 episodes of weaboo cringe.
