  • That sounds like something that could happen in a lot of anime…

    What year, approximately, did you see this? Was it a tape, DVD, or on broadcast TV?

    What color(s) was the mecha? What was the color of the boy’s hair? Girl’s hair? What style was the girl’s hair?

    Maybe that will help narrow down the choices…



  • Certain studios have a reputation for quality hand drawn animation and direction: UFOtable, MAPPA/WIT, Trigger are highly respected for their products.

    Some studios specialize in genres: KyoAni in well written and animated positive heroines, for example.

    Other studios have a reputation for low cost and mediocre quality productions: JC Staff is one that is associated with that kind of thing.

    CyGames, or in this case their animation studio subsidiary CyGamesPictures, has a number of well reviewed franchises: Uma Musume/Pretty Derby, Princess Connect, and the recent gay robot saga Brave Bang Bravern.

    I was going to say “it’s not anime (i.e. from Japan)” but the sidebar rules specifically mention allowing “donghua” which would be Chinese animation, which is what this is.

    The 3 reviews on MAL were overall positive, with comments along the lines of “started strong, but weak finish” “wrong emphases in the writing” “good visuals, animation and music” with a pretty good score of 8.02 from 712 users, which is a tiny sample by MAL standards, which are usually in the 10,000s - 100,000s of users for seasonal shows.

    Apparently it’s over with the last episode 15 having aired on October 2nd, so there is the timeliness thing.

    I’d say let it be posted, but the OP should put in some effort and try to sell us on why they think this is worth watching…

    The first 5 episodes might be worth watching since MAL users took the effort to post a couple of comments on them, but dropped off after that.

    Without any knowledge about this whatsoever, I’m guessing it’ll be like Ninja Kamui (strong start, great visuals, but lack of depth in concept, and ugh that writing…)


  • It’s half time, and U-20 management is giving their pep talk…

    @rikka@ani.social

    We learn that Itoshi Sae is now a midfielder because…

    But seriously, there’s nothing wrong with being a world class midfielder.

    Many midfielders start out as forwards, and settle on their position moving backwards.

    It is also said that many great forwards learn their football in midfield, so when they develop as attackers, they can understand what is going on behind them.

    Even the great striker Lionel Messi played in midfield on the wing.

    And what would Messi have accomplished without the awesome midfield of Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets?

    I’m surprised that Itoshi Rin doesn’t understand that at his age…
