Hey bro new teaser bro and with GAROU vs Bug and ripper what do you feel and think (hope the studio doesnt miss)
Instantly recognized jumpaoki's animation style - glad he's returned to give Garou all those money shots. Him being a genuine Garou fan absolutely counts here to faithfully market him, I'd say! And what we got looks to be a closely manga faithful tease of the limiter explanation scene, right before Garou raids the monster lair alone to rescue Tareo. It's hard for me to say/expect much else other than I hope it's longer than 12eps and that they cook with a more seasoned series director (and a better production schedule) this time!
From what I've seen on the new uploaded jumpaoki's sketch on twt, his monster!Garou drawing even more looked like Venom, or at least like Garou in the @the-goddessfighter Venom AU sketch.
BTW Kenichiro Aoki the animator who brought the best animated moments of season 2 also drew Shadow Ring. Despite my disappointment in the season, whenever he took charge it actually made me forget I was watching a subpar anime adaptation. You can tell that he actually is a fan and he cared for the project. Glad that our girl is getting recognition she deserves from both fans and creators alike.
I was about to go ‘what the fuck are you talking about’ but then gathered the three brain cells I have left and went to twitter for answers
Nice. And this just continues to solidify my notion that she could be a very prominent character for the ninja arc. I don’t have the hours or interest in scrolling through his entire twitter feed so I’m not sure how many other mini heroes he might have drawn, but doing one to focus entirely on her? That is....pretty cool. Also the more I look at her (I look at her a lot 👀) she’s starting to look less ‘full bodied’ as I originally thought and more buff. And short. And childlike. Shadow Ring looks to have a real bad bitch personality.
Seeing the subreddit's total meltdown over the announcement made me wonder if you knew what the Japanese fandom's reaction was or what were their thoughts in general on s2
The main subreddit's doomposting is a disaster but ah, see now this is where I'd like to have more information! Unfortunately without an account, twitter's now blocked and useless to me (even alt redirects like nitter are dead since twitter's recently terminated guest access entirely...) so I can no longer check for news of what the eastern fandom has to say anymore. :') (You can try to see what japanese users like /diolovewry and /tanktopmagic or even /jumpaoki, the main animator, might have recently said about the s3 announcement however!)
What colour do you reckon Garou's volcanic, monsterised armour is? His cloth was apparently purple against Darkshine but then turned black when he went spiral so 🤔 do you think it'd be a black/purple outer shell with the lights being red due to his red eyes and hair?
Yeah--volcanic, I think you answered it there! (Even jumpaoki colored it that way~) But in my mind it's not solid red; the 'lights' are more like glowing veins of smoldering hot magma (that change and disperse with orange/yellow among the red too depending on his mood), while the dark armor parts are the 'cooled' areas of purple/blue/black, like hardened obsidian? rock in contrast. :O At least that's how I visualize it!
#seriously: they're asking for people who can keep calm in the worst of crises and rapidly distill tons of conflicting data into useable data

I see. If we're not having a miscounting problem then chapter 156 is a long one

@jumpaoki on Twitter has given us another great sketch. This time of Reigen.
First blood for the new chapter goes to the inimitable OPM animator, Jump Aoki, who graces us with this wonderful little drawing of Garou as he currently appears.
