A six episode anime original ONA directed and written by a lauded visionary auteur? It hearkens back to the better OVA format of old. Yet, it's such a disappointment. Why are all the old anime auteurs so fucking bad now? What is the excuse here? This was in development hell for so long and Iso is an autistic perfectionist as seen in his last original fifteen years ago. This was supposed to "save anime from the otaku menace" and instead it's just another flavor of sci-fi mediocrity with some solid character acting and fuck loads of bad cgi and effects.

Haven't watched it yet but fuck Netflix.

I was hoping the show would get a BD release soon enough, but with it being a Netflix original it will probably be locked for a long time before we get something watchable (and properly translated).

>auteur
cringe. you need to go back

But BDs already released.

>a lauded visionary auteur?
He's a fucking key animator who, prior to this shitfest of an original, had directed a single television show. To be an auteur you need at least 3 (short) films and maybe a show or two if you feel like it. Iso has occupyied no actual creative position outside of his own shows, unlike other people who worked as sakkans or character designers or art directors. Not even Okiura's an auteur, and the guy has been much more thoroughly involved than this unlikeable cunt.

He introduced the concept of "full limited" key animation and personally animated some of the most famous cuts of all time.
>Iso has occupyied no actual creative position outside of his own shows
He was involved in the planning and scriptwriting of a certain Neon Genesis Evangelion

It's not a disappointment at all, you just have shit taste.
>This was supposed to "save anime from the otaku menace" and instead it's just another flavor of sci-fi mediocrity with some solid character acting and fuck loads of bad cgi and effects.
Bait

>What is the excuse here?
there are no excuses. hacks are gonna hack. oshii sucks too with that latest turd he dropped.

>Kenichi Yoshida
Awesome

Thanks for the worthless annotations, you retarded nigger. That still doesn't make him an auteur.
>He was involved in the planning and scriptwriting of a certain Neon Genesis Evangelion
In an "assisting" postion on a single episode. Wow. So he worked with pre-defined character designs, a developed world and fleshed out concepts and had to adhere to the real script-writer's, the layout-artist's, the episode director's and the director's vision. Damn, this creative mastermind surely qualifies as
>a film director who influences their films so much that they rank as their author

>and personally animated some of the most famous cuts of all time
There are no famous "cuts", you sakugaretard. And if there were, they'd all be from Ghibli or Shinkai movies and Iso animated none of them.

He animated for 3 Ghibli films actually.

I really liked the first 3 episodes.

Samefag

I didn't claim for him to have animated ON none of them, just that nothing he has animated would be classifiable as "most famous". Learn English, you retarded notevenEOP.

While people are arguing on the upper plane of astral autism, I'll just say Dennou Coil was great.

Yeah. So was this.

What did we do to deserve this shitposting faggot? The show is fun and nice

>it's fun therefore it's good
this is what moetrannies, SOLtards and shonenspics use to excuse mediocrity. enough midwit shit.

>>it's fun therefore it's good
Yes. It's deep and looks good as well if that's what you want.

first ep. was great.
on to the rest
