2024 Anime Catchup

I know I've been extra silent here, but I was really enjoying my time off at the end of this year (before getting sick). Of course, that means I was slacking while the Winter season got started up, culminating in this little catchup thread.

No, there's not really anything crazy detailed or important in here, but I just thought I'd share some brief thoughts on these opening episodes for series that I've watched as I catch up to Winter 2024.

Ishura

This first episode of Ishura was a bit of an eye-opener; neither in a good nor bad way. It mostly made me aware of the style and approach that Passione is aiming for with the series as a whole.

The goal seems to lean into the out of house CGI with Sanzigen so that they can deliver on the 2D front. And really, I don't have too much wrong with that. Both ends of the animation are really good when they need to be. They might be a little slow or odd at times, but when it counts they show up.

Which is more than what I can say for composition and color design. It's inconsistent, at times rather lazy, and causes a lot of problems for how people will view the episode.

In its isolated parts, they each do really well, but put together you get a lot of dissonance. You get static background characters that look considerably better than the leads, you get a massive CGI golem with no shadow or blending with the environment. It becomes a struggle to tie it all together, and that weighs down on the creative storyboards and direction, the incredible environment art and overall art direction, and even the impressive action animation.

It's a mixed bag, but if you can understand that it's a single piece throwing a wrench into things rather than the whole picture, Ishura has a pretty solid first episode that promises great things.

A Sign Of Affection

A Sign of Affection has, by far, the best first episode of this bunch. Incredible in every sense of the word, they deliver a powerful and positive declaration of Yuki as a protagonist and where her story will go.

Sound design is the first thing that springs to my mind in terms of praise. Incredible awareness and thoughtfulness to express Yuki's hearing impairment in a non-invasive or overly explicit manner. It's just flat out great how many little details and additions they work into the episode to add to the experience.

Similarly, the character acting as a whole is incredible. Anime tend to cheap out on phonetics with character mouths, but A Sign Of Affection holds on and puts incredible effort into making lip-reading feasible with the series (which presents a unique challenge for dubbing). Really really great effort to add to the heart you can feel in the episode alongside the passion for incredible sign language.

And then there's the general praises. Art direction and environment art is beyond wonderful, the character designs are incredible for a first timer, and the boards and direction are really great.

Every last piece works incredibly hard to present Yuki's story as a University girl with a bubbly personality and a penchant for fashion before they choose to depict her as a girl with a hearing disability. It's a huge distinction to make and really sells it as the fact that Yuki's condition is not tragic, but rather much like every other aspect of her, is just another facet of her character. Yuki's character arc stems from her personality and existence as a person, and that in turn ends up expressed at times with her hearing disability.

Before Yuki is conscious of herself as hearing impaired, she's conscious of herself as the sort of quiet girl that doesn't have too many friends, the girl that might be awkward when interacting with the boy she has a crush on. It's just so wonderful to see, especially at this level of quality. Absolutely cannot wait for the next episode to air!

Delicious In Dungeon

In a sense, I'm disappointed. Not at all by quality or output or anything like that, just style.

I mean, it's Trigger- like hell they'd ever put out anything even remotely subpar. It's great work, amazing, even. The work with food in this first episode is impeccable, the character designs are great, and the color design is wonderful.

But I can't help but feel like this could have been done by another studio, that this doesn't have that feeling that only Trigger could do it. And because of that I'm a little sad. The silly and excessive nature of Delicious In Dungeon absolutely lends itself to Trigger's approach with anime, so seeing it benched in favor of a much more subdued and reserved style has been a bit of a blow to my hopes with this series.

Though, the Red Dragon at the start screamed Trigger, so there might yet bet hope. It is only the first episode after all. I'll certainly be enjoying regardless, but I will probably be stuck wondering about what might have been with Trigger if they don't really go all out.

Also, the OP was a huge disappointment to me. Only a single sequence of food, which we don't see being made and we can't discern from the sequence. A baffling decision considering how important and central food is to this series.

Pon No Michi

I really didn't expect much out of OLM for this, especially considering their lackluster key visuals and PVs. I was comfortably surprised.

When in motion, the character designs work really well. They're expressive and are used quite often with effective character acting. The color design isn't as offensive as I expected it to be, though the OST can be somewhat grating.

The real standout effort with this original though is the direction and humor. Both add an incredible degree of enjoyment to the series. The boards are very creative and place a lot of focus on perspective, and interestingly enough hands (this series is about Mahjong so makes sense), and the humor always finds the right times to interject with a reference or two.

The most bizarre piece is the sparing use of CGI at the Mahjong table. It looks good, and is well isolated so as to not stick out, but it makes for a curious case of use.

Still, it's overall far more than my expectations, so I do hope that OLM holds onto this quality throughout the season.

Demon Prince of Momochi House

I don't have too much to add here really. The character designs are very divergent from the manga and speak to the rigidity of their designer, the environment art is really nothing to look at, and the animation struggles at times.

The saving grace is a few good ideas, which is all I think the season will be good for with this. It can be creative, but the output just isn't at a satisfactory level (which I did expect).

Certainly a let down for fans of the manga, but I think it'll accomplish its mission of advertising the manga well enough. It just doesn't have much else it'll be able to do past that.
