@tripleaamin @Jmare007 after seeing this Reze movie I am fully confident part 1 of CSM is gonna go in the rafters Mappa bodied this and the arcs only get crazier from here

Dope, was the difference in animation style noticeable? I know most japanese fans hated S1 style choice (I thought it was pretty cool tbh) so if it looks like they want the sky is the limit

I have no idea what style they were expecting it looks like well animated Mappa, final fight had peak Shibuya level cuts.

Wtf was the issue with season 1 animation? now that is what I'd call anime snobbery

From what I recall, them jrehs had a big issue with the CGI blend Mappa chose to go with. I thought it was a cool innovation and with more experience/polish (future seasons,basically) it was going to look flawless. But for some reason the japanese CSM fanbase did not fukk with it.

Ah I see

Yea that's definitely small potatoes, only time they really used it was episode 1 with the zombie iirc.

And when Denji reverted to normal they gave it a look like it melted away


In the Reze movie I don't recall any egregious cgi but obviously you got certain moments during the fight where it made sense to have some 3d camera movement

Every time the PVs show up in theaters, I am like, Man, this shyt looks outstanding. Unlike Demon Slayer, this is actually much more structured for a movie. Honestly, much more rewatchable. If the rumors and leaks are true, S2 will adapt the rest of the manga. Though we are going to have to be patient for that. Mappa will focus on JJK, and the director is the chief director for both Wistoria and Black Clover. Though I think he will prioritize CSM when Mappa is free to start production.

I think people might be having the same experience I had when reading the manga, story just repeats the same formula for mad long

The moment when they have revelations are usually dope, like how they found out about the petrification stone and how it worked

But it's just too far and few between the same cycle of Senku making some shyt and everyone's reactions

I think the anime actually caught up to the point where I dropped the manga space nikka, really?

Tbh I liked the series more early on and feel like if it focused more on world-building in the long run, it would be better. S1 & Stone Wars I liked a lot. The season after that, it felt like they were pressured to appeal to more Shounen fans, which is understandable since the manga ran in Weekly Shounen Jump.

I feel like if this was a monthly manga that took its time, it could be something special. What we have is fine; it's a solid series. The best way to describe the series is that it's a jack of all trades but a master of none. Imo with light novels, manga, and anime, I would say being a jack-of-all-trades isn't really what you want to go for.

Some of the best series you can think of excel at one thing. They can also be good or solid in many areas as well, but being a master at that level is what makes a series memorable. Madoka, Monogatari, Mushoku Tensei, CSM, etc. all of these series do that. Even if there are areas in these stories that turn people off. Which is understandable because not everyone will like a particular series.

Mushoku Tensei

That story isn't one note at all have you read it, doesn't remotely match the other ones you mentioned.

Dr Stone is literally doing one thing the entire time, not a jack of all trades at all

 

[Jmare007]

If anything Mushoku Tensei tends to suffer from doing too much stuff/different styles when doing its world building, there's entire volumes that serve the world and added characters that stretched the story out unnecessarily, specially that last third of the LN. The difference between those volumes and the ones where we get more plot, main story and main characters is pretty big, as those volumes are fukking outstanding.

Yea idk what he's talking about Jobless literally tried to do everything you can do in a story, no stones left unturned.


Dr. Stone left a lot of opportunities on the plate imo they had plenty of space for us to follow other groups of people over a long term

I've only watched the anime so far.

Wasn't talking exclusively about the story. Talking about the series in general. Story, characters, art, action, world building, etc. Dr. Stone is mostly solid in all of these areas, but there is no area I would say it really excels at. Although that could be + for some people, I suppose.

When I mentioned the other series, it was that there is at least one aspect that it does extremely well that pulls you in. I wasn't directly comparing them to Dr. Stone. Not saying they only do one thing well. All of those series do more than one thing well; that much is obvious for anyone that watched or read them.

Even with just being on the anime it doesn't match those other shows at all, like it's not even close all the other stories you mentioned go in one direction the entire time and definitely lean on one thing moreso than everything else.

Jobless already went in like 3-4 different directions, expounds on multiple characters for depth who also expand the world building due to their origins. You can't point to one thing that explains that show like how you can do those other shows, and that's just going off the anime.

As much as it like CSM and Madoka they are nowhere near well rounded like Moshuko, you can sum up those shows pretty easily. They don't try to cover all their bases for real.

Jobless is so wide open all you can say is it's following Rudy's life. Completely different category than all of them.

Wasn't talking exclusively about the story. Talking about the series in general. Story, characters, art, action, world building, etc.

A "story" is made up of all of the elements you listed tho how are you separating them? You can't make a story without characters and world building. And I specifically am talking about how the lack of world building and character depth hurts the story of Dr. Stone in the long run as a series


Dr. Stone literally lives off of Senku 's eureka moments and how the characters react to it. That's the one thing they excel at and put most of their energy into you think they put the same amount of energy into the rest of that show? They very clearly focus on one shtick above everything else.

They don't even attempt to give these characters depth, they all have 1 personality trait that just gets repeated per situation. Chrome being a student, mechanic dude being buff and blue collar, etc. They only get 1 attribute.

The world building left a lot to be desired, like I said that plot had plenty of space for us to be able to follow more than just Senku's group and whoever they're fighting with, show doesn't even try.

Everything outside of Senku solving this mystery got the bare minimum amount of effort for an anime, if that's what "solid" means to you then you got it it's still some decent mid, but i would never call this show rounded or even attempting to be


The same way solo leveling just leans on jinwoo boxing, Dr. Stone leans on Senku doing science, both series don't pretend to try to do anything else. Just because other characters exist and a world exists that doesn't make it a jack of all trades, you literally need those to create a plot. These are not Jack of all trade series at all

nikkas actually had to pull Zoro off of Lucci putting the beats on that nikka


Only for an Elder to pull him and put the fear of God in him retire breh it's over, you got power scaled out of this plot
