You can't perfectly port Huke's art into animation, unless you're willing to spend a fortune and every episode a year in the making. They did a pretty good job imo. It's dumb to see people arguing about art when they don't know shit about.
Err.., the Black Rock Shooter OVA almost did a good job emulating Huke's artistic style imo. Though for extremely satisfying result, the probably need to hire the animator guys who did Gankutsou.
hopefully not the story writers for Gankutsou though
And your point is ? BRS is not anime series, it's an OVA. Considerably alot more money AND TIME was spent on making of BRS. You can't do the same with an anime series .. deal with it.
"And your point is ?"
gankutsou was fugly man. whatsup with all those kaleidoscopic patterns everywhere. its what those Yanks see when on drugs. thats why they like it some much, feeling high without the after effects.
After-effects to getting high? Do you mean slight munchies and very restful sleep? Because I'm okay with those.
Yank this, fuckhead.
Ya I can't see them doing that for 12 episodes though, it would be too costly to add all that detail. I do think it looks quite good as it is now.
that was a once off thing, though, not a series. if BRS became a series, the art would be disappointing
Ah, but that's not the argument. It's opinions vs. opinions, which one's the superior one.
End of day: Both sides love Steins Gate
...and they argued passionately ever after. The End.
If only Japan could be that simple
There is a holy war going on in the underground world of Otaku-dom. Choose your side carefully >.>
It doesn't take too much to throw a texture layer into Flash using Bitmap Fill.
it doesnt take much to not know what they're talking about
seriously faking agree with u dude, they're who agruing this badass anime is just fucked up in mind & soul.
Again someone doesn't know what their talking about. It's a texture overlay. I can see it may cost a bit more but taking longer is definitely not the issue.
After seeing a lot of Huke's art, can we really be safe in assuming it's a mere texture overlay? For that matter, can we even assume that Huke uses PS/Painter to do his work?
go check out his BRS blu ray special
he used the usual painter/ps combination, and grabbed a few metal texture overlays in order to complete that promo art.
quite fascinating IMO
Based on your comment I can tell your not an artist. Let me put it this way, there are many ways to achieve the way huke did that. Overlay is fairly the most common way to do that. Another way would be painstakingly doing it by manually painting in the details but that would be inefficient. Also PS/Painter/Illus/Sai can more or less do all the same things such as painting.
The game looks like Monte Christo anime.
should have had SHAFT do this anime.
they would know how to make things look quality for sure.
SHAFT will just ruin the seriousness and deep thoughts of this anime.
Never say deep thought when talking about good anime. No matter how true it may be. It will instantly become DEEP.
Just look at how SHAFT did Madoka, they chose quite a non-traditional style there, even for themselves.
It means it IS possible to go around the roads already threaded, it just depends on how talented the staff is. I personally agree on SHAFT being a better choice of studio for this style of anime.
At least he didn't say deep love.
Boo hoo. The VN style just wouldn't work in an anime.
It "would" work, but you need plenty of money for that.
Look at the Count of Monte Cristo, they managed to convert that, assuming they have the budget to spend.
never bothered with that, thankfully.
the style was a complete turn off.
Change in character style? It looks pretty damn faithfully reproduced right down to the clothes.
As for the visual style, at that point it's a matter of artistic preference and imo that blotty textured style works pretty well for a piece of art but Im not sure I'd want to see it animated like that.
Anime is not bad but I like game art work more.
You know what's funny?
Nobody (That I've heard of) Complained about Makise Kurisu's Nendoroid..
lol @ Double standards.
What is there to complain about it? Yes, I know there's something lacking about it but I can't just pinpoint it myself. Please enlighten me.
Image 008: A LOLWUT LLAMA!? In MY Steins Gate!?
Is it wrong to say that I can't see any differences between these artworks?
kurisu alpaca wwwww
well i don't have anything to complain here (besides i haven't played the game yet because i don't own a 360 and i'm waiting for the PSP version release), maybe it should be like the animation in senjou no valkyria wich the design was quite similar to the game
Its good enough. Thats all I have to say.
How come an anime doesn't show us a male character, a guy, one that looks like a real guy but then tells us he's really a girl? The opposite always happens even though it's unrealistic as hell..
you haven't tried for searching for real traps havent you...
I mean Sankaku featured Kayoh Police once in here.
Go to some site like trap-heaven or some kind of trap-chan and go look for them >__<
Reverse traps also exist and is much more common irl.
D'aw, who cares! The only thing I am worried about is whether they can pull off Steins Gate confusing plot, since after reading the manga series, I really am worried to see such an interesting series go to waste. I wish I could find Makise Kurisu's CG somewhere lol.
Looks good for me, as it's a tv anime...
It's the best they can get it to look animated, perhaps.
Pragmatic adaptations are always tricky. With that in mind, I try to see how familiar it feels to the original. I'm reminded of Ragnarok The Animation whenever something like this comes up and how Baphomet was given a hammer instead of his original scythe.
I would have preferred the aesthetics of the manga, but the anime seems to have crisp, well-made visuals.
whoa wtf steins gate is getting a live action or is that cosplay? Because that woman is fugly.
both of them are perfect! 10/10
well they just need to add that sparkling filter on the anime, but who cares? it's already good as it is, what we should be concentrating is how accurate it is to the source material.
kinda wish Chaos;Head was much closer to the original game
the live action doesn't look good :/
That's Imai Asami, Kurisu's cv.
