On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

After watching the first episode...It was a fun watch. The animation imo doesn't look bad, the storyline doesn't seem that out of place for the characters, but it is playing off of tons of anime cliches that separates it from the regular series. They really nailed what they were going for imo.

Idk if the rest of the season is out, I just watched what was free on the adult swim website, but I think people are being a bit harsh.

Agreed. It seems fine so far. The action has been meh, but the reflective, pondering tone of much of it has been pretty nice. The way it plays on Japanese sci-fi tropes (including out of order storytelling and time travel) has me really interested to see more on this outsiders' take on the possibilities of the R&M multiverse
