Super Chaos Sonic Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Currently watching....aaaaaaannnnnd....Weiss... Her personality is NOT what I expected.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugendramon Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's exactly what I expected. Completely ice-cold jabroni, geddit? Episodes are going to be getting shorter huh. Not looking forward to that. 10 was the ideal length really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosuke-kun Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 They'll probably lengthen them a few times too. I wouldn't be surprised if the season finale is the anime standard half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Chaos Sonic Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Meh and Blake seems like I imagined here too xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosuke-kun Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah. Blake was a little more... Anti-establishment than I thought, and Weiss had more personality than I thought (but not in a good way >3> Another snooty rich jabroni to deal with), but John seems about right. Kinda reminds me of Ron Weasley for some reason. Also, OMG THAT CHIBI RUBY WAS ADORABLE :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anime isn't half hour unless it's a special in which case it's like 35 or even 28. And why you'd compare this to anime rather than western animation is meyond me.

Wow, that was really short :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosuke-kun Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Because the art is anime-esque. Pretty much this is why. My point was I can see the finale's being as long as a standard show would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugendramon Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah yeah, big eyes are anime. Game designers find big eyes easier to make than realistic eyes. Does it mean they're appealing to the, errr, otaku audience? Maybe. Does it mean it should be compared to anime? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Granted, she had a reason to be, because Ruby knocking over suitcases full of Dust is something she should be angry about, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny fact is that she was kind of letting the Dust blow away as she waved it, implying she didn't actually care that much and was just being a jabroni for the hell of it.

Making a chibi for a character is anime-only? Have you never watched Xiaolin Showdown? Silly me, using a specific example. My point is westerns do that too. It is in no way definitive evidence. Let's be clear here. You're more inclined to believe it's anime and will seek things that support it. I will in turn see the same things and say why the're not. You won't believe that they're not because you're more inclined to believe it's anime. Circular logic. That won't get anywhere. So you think it's anime, I think it's not. End of argument.

My point is westerns do that too. It is in no way definitive evidence.Xiaolin Showdown was admitted to have Eastern influences actually. And if they had a chibi in there, that would be an example of their Eastern influences. Saying that is like saying Avatar isn't meant to be somewhat anime-esque. However, this draws more anime influences that all of the above, so yes, this can definitely be compared to anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, isn't it the same thing to say that this has eastern influences rather than being anime, just as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosuke-kun Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm just gonna settle on the middle ground that I tried to settle on earlier and say it's western anime ._. Such a thing does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art/whatever you call 3d stuff are also the exact same as anime games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An eastern game is not an anime game, at least I wouldn't call it that as it's misleading. You've seen 15 minutes of it plus fighting scenes. You can't realistically speak of its tropes yet.
