my guys, i do know who needs to hear this but i don't want to @ anyone... but if you copy tags from someone you gotta at least write "< prev" or something bc a) it's rude not doing that and b) tags are a form of communication and so is copying them!! pls talk to the person who's tags you're copying, doesn't have to be a novel, an exlamation mark will do but please say something!!

#people keep doing this recently #and i don't know if they're just not familiar with how tumblr works #or if this is some new trend #but please just don't #it's not fun

Is CloverWorks entirely at fault for TPN S2's mangled production?

I see so many people default to blaming CloverWorks for being the sole arbiter of S2's horribly disappointing production (sometimes Shirai is added into the mix too, especially by anime-onlys), but every time I do I'm genuinely asking the question of whether that's true and where they're pulling their information from.

I'm not involved in the animation industry at all so I'm interested in receiving input from people who are more familiar with it, but my understanding is the people in charge of the decision to truncate S2 would be The Promised Neverland Committee listed at the end of the opening credits.

(I could not find a single video of the English dub that aired on [adult swim] for the English credits of S1, so a screencap from the Japanese credits)

TPN Committee is comprised of the following entities: Aniplex (Distributor), Fuji TV (TV Station), Shueisha (Manga Publisher), Cygames Anime Fund, Dentsu (ads)

(Sources 1 | 2 | 3)

kViN from Sakugabooru details what a production company is in this post:

"I personally find it enjoyable to see who is involved in a show, and as you’ve seen there is plenty of information to draw from that. Animation production studios are listed in the credits for each show, so it’s understandable why audiences would imagine they have a ton of influence over a production. It’s even natural to think that the company that is actually manufacturing something would have great input! If you start paying attention to these committees though, you get a clearer picture of the finances of production and how each show is actually made rather than assume that studios that often don’t have much of a say are in charge of everything."

And CloverWorks is the more prominent name, especially for English speakers watching the subbed version of the series.

This is also something that Geoff Thew brings up in the last seven minutes of this video around the 18:50 mark:

"I'd bet good money that the last credits were supposed to roll right after that big stone door slammed shut, and I'd further wager that a combination of fan reactions to and dipping ratings for early episodes is what caused the production committee—who are the ones who actually have final say in this, not Cloverworks or even Shirai—to cut their losses and turn that cliffhanger into a skeleton of a conclusion."

I disagree with him on them making the call to retool the series during the clipshow episode between S2e05 and S2e06 though. It doesn’t seem like they had enough time to do that when a single episode of animation takes on average nine months to complete, even with the ridiculous crunch they seemed to be in. My guess is it was made back in early 2020 after Shirai made everyone involved in production aware the manga was ending that year, with the pandemic potentially factoring in to a degree.

He also mentions this a bit earlier:

"It's just such a slap in face to anyone who ever gave a shit about any version of this story. Including the people telling it, apparently, since neither of the anime's screenwriters nor mangaka/series composer Shirai wanted to take credit for the last two episodes. They probably didn't have much say in how it all went down. That's important to keep in mind before you start yelling at animators or even studios on twitter. I guarantee that every adaption that hurts you personally was ten times harder on the people who actually had to make it. As hackishily slapdash as this finale is, a lot of people probably slept under their desks to get it out the door, if they slept at all."

I always come back to this tiny addition toward the end of S2 episode 2 as an indication that on the creative side of things, in storyboarding and animation at CloverWorks, the care was still there at some level.

It was just squashed down in order to cut and condense 146 chapters into 11 episodes for a production that, as ZersEditor puts here, was "bleeding money."

But CloverWorks is less to type out, so they get the majority of the ire over a tragically butchered production in casual conversation.

#The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #約束のネバーランド #約ネバ #Kaiu Shirai #CloverWorks #FSS Chatter #TPN S1 #TPN S2 #TPN S2e02 #Long Post #I'm not trying to portray CW as a saint of a studio because again I'm not involved in the industry so I don't know all the nuances to it #and this production of theirs is the one I'm most familiar with‚ with the other one being S×F for comparison #and like Ruby's pointed out in another post I can believe they're complacent in the lightening of skin tones for characters of color #as part of a larger industry-wide trend which is still shitty and should be critiqued #but I don't think they're the only ones guilty of this #so it kind of deflates me a bit when I see people comment on my posts taking a dig at CW #because it feels like a pithy comment of misdirected ire when the body of people actually at fault #get to continue on with their business of utilizing stories as investments to build up portfolios #instead of any genuine interest in a series' story or artistic merits #so then I kind of zone out even if I agree with the spirit of the sentiment of grieving over a series you care about #like “is it their fault? is it? are we talking about the same thing/on the same page here?” #tbf people are probably making more productive use of their time than I am #after delving into this for a sense of personal closure on how S2 turned out the way it did lol #but if anyone has any further reading on the subject or personal insight and feels like sharing I'd be interested #either in CW's favor or against

Heard we’re doing hermitcitizens? Have a this guy! Nobody told them the flash was on

I figured an allay fairy godmothering itself into a guy was the kind of fun magical nonsense explanation Hermitcraft tends to go for! They won’t deliver things for you but they DO love cookies (thanks for the excuse to post sona, @ink-ghoul!)

#hermitcitizen #hermitsona #sketchbook #sona #suspiciously familiar hair and cloak won over Big Gerbil lol #i dont like self insert stuff usually but the idea of just. populating this massive world the Hermits have built #honestly fits the energy of it really well! #i saw some folks wanted to have their sonas interact and id be down for that :3 #if you leave creeper holes the interaction will be them coming to your house with an axe #their job is because i always have the compulsion to make like. roads and public buildings and fix things up. so #i have so many pointless details and i will never stop being like this #anyways! i like fun trend :]

i got a new book and the clerk again complimented my choice (:

#i asked him which book i should buy because i wasn't familiar with the author #he then complimented that despite the (shallow) trend of the moment i chose an author that is super good #giggling #and he invited me to this meeting about simone weil i hope i can join in time! (: #notes of a countryside dandy

okay but i was looking through the the unseen v shrikhand tags to feel something i guess and one of the tags was 'reblog to kill "chonny jash" faster' I CAN'T GET OVER THE SCARE QUOTES AS IF HE ISN'T REAL LIKE KJDSNFJKASNFKJL

I mean has anyone ever even seen Chonny before? Maybe he's australias new legend or cryptid

#maybe the chonny jash was the friends we made along the way #or the elusive creature that emits random songs like some sorta mouse siren #tho instead of death he leads you to more & more songs an then you're trapped. stuck in a loop you could say #or if you go by does it sound familiar comments he traps you in the basement #well in THDPH & technically GW he DOES invite you to hell. so like after death technically #the small mouse cryptid be elusive & confusing #/j #moss posts #okay but im crying over someone being like “this chonny jash trend/content needs to die >:(” not knowing that its a whole ass person #that's hilarious

Izzy and Bury Your Gays: The Amatonormative angle

This is mostly a thought that has emerged in attempting to write a response to the conversation happening on mottlemoth’s post about Bury Your Gays but I realized I was trying to articulate an idea that needed more than me typing on my phone during lunch at work

This takes a rather meandering path to my conclusion but I wrote it this way to show what my thought process was.

#Reposting from main blog (along with comments) due to tags issue #tl:dr it is NOT bury your gays #but there are valid reasons why some people gut reaction jumped there #because it follows familiar tropes #reminiscent of BYG #one of which is that the characters is killed because there is no furture for them #and it points towards a more insidious trend #of devaluing non romantic arcs in queer storytelling compared to the romantic arc #it parallels how queer characters inconvenient to the straight narratives were disposed off #amatonormativity #izzy hands #ofmd #ofmd meta #ofmd spoilers

#im so smart im so SMARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT #in modern aokagz kagami only cares about being called taiga once theyre dating #aomine then never calls him taiga it's all just pet names #they can easily do that trend where someone calls their s/o by their name instead of 'baby' or w/e and the s/o is weirded out #them playing their first versus match and aomine calls him taiga on the court #and everyone else is like TAIGA??? SINCE WHEN ??? ARE THEY THIS?? FAMILIAR ??? meanwhile kagami is SEETHINGGGGG MY NAME ISNT TAIGA TO YOU #aokaga
