i know logically it'll look better in motion but man i instinctively do not like the 3d anime model look

Wed, Nov 4, 2020 9:59 PM
and yeah I can't stand the 3D anime look, even when it's well done

@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 9:59 PM
it just doesn't look good..... it's always plastic and uncanny
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 9:59 PM
it's definitely the same generic anime look Netflix uses for a lot of their 3D anime
EsperBot

it conjures up too many memories of the absolute garbage cartoons that got pumped out of Vancouver-based studios in the early oughts to fulfill cancon requirements

yeah. i didn't want to say 'it feels very low budget saturday morning' but it does

EVen if I admit that objectively it's probably better than that

@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:01 PM
that isn't to say it's not difficult to create or there aren't talented artists working on it but man. it's not for me

@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:01 PM
so i'll probably pass on this as a whole

I'll almost definitely give it a watch

low budget 3D isn't as much of a problem for me considering [gestures to RWBY]
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:02 PM
I'm just worried for the story
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:02 PM
yeah i gotta admit that's why I'm sure it's not for me
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:02 PM
I could never get into RWBY specifically because of how it looked

'ink wasn't your main fandom for a while girl genius' listen i fully admit it's all subjective personal taste and mine is not the be-all end all on what is good

if the story turns out to be really interesting i might try it anyway so do report back

Also, like, I don't think this look is right for Pacific Rim specifically because the thing that sells Pacific Rim is that everything feels heavy as shit and I've never seen one of these 3D anime ventures that successfully got that sort of weight across
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:05 PM
it's my curse to be invested in this brand, despite never actually seeing Pacific Rim Uprising
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:05 PM
which I'm perfectly fine with
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:06 PM
EsperBot : this is actually one of the biggest problems Uprising had
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:06 PM
Del Toro made it so all the kaiju and mechs felt like they had real tangible weight and moved appropriately with the camera
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:07 PM
Yeah
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:07 PM
then the sequel flung that out the window and everything is just flying around now
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:07 PM
like the cockpit sets were real sets that actually moved, which is completely insane, I have no idea how they got the insurers to sign off on that

i remember in interviews that everyone had trouble with how heavy the equipment was. except mako’s actress who apparently loved it
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:08 PM
the actress for Mako was a trooper and did all that hard acting without breaking a sweat
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:08 PM
FUCK the sequel

The big Image of Pacific Rim is Gipsy Danger slowly stomping its way through Hong Kong towards a kaiju, dragging a fucking cargo ship behind it with one hand
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:10 PM
which it proceeds to use clumsily as a baseball bat to beat the shit out of the kaiju

Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:11 PM
honestly my only problem with the original pac rim was that after the opener you lose a lot of the sense of scale
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:11 PM
which was the part that really got me
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:11 PM
like you're zoomed out far enough to see the action that it's hard to remember how big everything is
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:11 PM
but that shot of the kaiju from the bridge slowly appearing out of the fog? chills
Drizzmas
@lightdrizzel
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:11 PM
they are not graceful, yeah
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:12 PM
and that's because it feels real and weighty and huge and alien

Striker Eureka, the fasted Jaeger, can just kind of quickly jog

the kaiju in the first movie were just fantastic in that way

Crimson Typhoon is all about agility and complex motions and it's still fundamentally just a rock-em-sock-em robot
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:14 PM
if anything i wish they had kept that through MORE of the movie
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:15 PM
even though i get why they didn't because in an action movie about robots vs aliens you want to see the robots fight the aliens and you can't do that from vantage points that would really make the scale evident
fish deranged
@mister_inkwell
Wed, Nov 4, 2020 10:15 PM
but. i can dream
