Shangri-La - Page 3

Titens · 04-07-2009, 08:23 AM

Bah. I fucking hate gonzo. Why couldn't madhouse, sunrise, bones, kyoani, etc... work on this project... WHY GONZO?!?!
Anyway, I like the complexity of the story, not the plot itself but the background of the wolrd so far. I believe that the story is gonna be good, at least. But... i don't like the animation, and there's something seriously wrong with the sound. I admit that horriblesubs might have something to do with all this, but some other are just gonzo's fault... as usual. It's not that the production is BAD, but this project comes from the minds of geniuses (that are not from gonzo), and they just had to animate it... and if you compare to rideback or xam'd... well, let's just say that the animation looks like 4 years old.
So far it's my 3rd favorite anime of this new season... with lots of names still remaining to check.

You've got a good point. Although I can disregard it, I can tell the animation isn't up to scratch compared to the latest series.

@Titens: STOP! Animation is actually good. Sure it's no Xam'd (don't expect everything to be), but it's not bad either. Gonzo actually tends to be decent whenever it's not CGI (and even the cgi in this one is pretty good). Shangri la is very detailed animation-wise, together with Basquash it has the best backgrounds this season.
Try downloading the version that is 720p with crunchyroll subs next time. It looked excellent.

As far as the rest of the anime, as said before, the world itself is very interesting, and the plot seems to revolve around the same themes, so I'm looking forward to it.

anyone ever think that animation has more to do than just being "up to date" they call it art for a reason!! A good artist never copies another artists style!!

on topic though, its ok so far. hasnt really caught my attention but ill give it a chance.

Maybe it's because of horriblesubs, but what I saw was far from being detailed. And it's not that the animation is bad, but it's not up to par to what I expect the other things to be (story, characters, direction, etc...). If this anime ends up being kind of mediocre (7... a low 8), then the animation would suit it.
But since i'm expecting more from it, then i just can't help to be very dissapointed. And as I said, there's something bad with the sound.
I'll try finding another fansub for it from now on, but so far I haven't seen any other in dl.

Everything is because of horriblesubs. Happened to me with Saki.

Ya. If I had watched this in 720p I'm sure my opinion would be different.

and thats the reason why I don't touch Gonzo series....their writers aren't so good when it comes to writing/animating the plot etc.

however their animation isn't too bad but still Gonzo is not the worse nor good either.

EDIT:
Oh whatever.. Ill give this series a go, I too hate gonzo but gonna see if they improved or not. The only series Ive liked from Gonzo is Black cat and Last Exile and its rare that they make good series.

agreed
