Manga series by HiRock is getting a TV anime adaptation.

Premise

Quote:

2014: Akira Natsume seems to almost have a phobia of electrical devices while also being very good at diagnosing them. He resolves to change himself for the better and get a girlfriend like his older brother did. ...But then Akira suddenly dies in an accident. 16 years later a special policewoman and her android partner retrieve and activate a highly advanced AI and superweapon called EX-ARM and put it into full control of their ship as a last resort. Turns out the AI is actually just Akira's brain!

Why Does The Crunchyroll Original Series EX-ARM Look So Awful?:

"Ultimately, this series appears to be ruined by unwarranted confidence and a lack of
interest in animation. Despite being well-aware of the fact that live-action directors
rarely direct anime, director Yoshikatsu Kimura claimed, “I have experience as a
director, so I decided to give it a shot.” The last prominent example of a live-action
director being in charge of an anime was 2011's Psycho-Pass, led by Katsuyuki
Motohiro. However, in this case, he was aided by co-director Naoyoshi Shiotani, a
veteran key animator. This is because to be an anime director, you need to have an
understanding of animation, but Kimura had little interest in the artistic capabilities of
the medium, instead opting to focus on the camera and motion-capture work.

According to BEASTARS director Shinichi Matsumi, “Motion capture is the first step.
And we adjust the movement to look more anime-like.” This is a way of capturing
realistic timing and basic motion, but it needs additional key-frame animation work to
make these elements work and look appealing in anime. At Square Enix Visual Works,
they warn against using motion capture as a crutch, and EX-ARM's awkward motion is
proof as to why. While the show's creative staff are perfectly capable of directing
actors in a motion-capture studio, they clearly had no idea what to do once these
motions were mapped onto 3D models."

OMFG this is just as bad as had been expected from the trailer.

Berserk finaly found worthy opponent. This battle of hideous CGI will be legendary!

Uribatake · 2021-01-10, 20:02

I wonder if there's a way HiRock and Shinya Komi can sue the people responsible for this abomination. How could they turn Komi's beautiful art into... this?

Cosmic Eagle · 2021-01-10, 20:05

The story is actually OK in general but damn, that animation is so clunky.....It's a pity when the manga is so well drawn also

serenade_beta · 2021-01-10, 20:07

*looks at cover art*
Wow, this looks pretty cool!

*looks at trailer*
.............Umm............... Nevermind.

Magewolf · 2021-01-10, 21:55

How does something like this get released? It was made up of what looks like test renderings and placeholders, a whole episode of test renderings and placeholders.

HandofFate · 2021-01-10, 22:45

the premise seems interesting, but yikes at the jarring animation. Was wondering if it was just style..but then got to the action fight sequences, what is going on?

I'm actually interested to see the guy hack into more devices and controlling them too..

Malicre · 2021-01-11, 01:46

That was so damn weird seeing like 2d/3d mix.

Guardian Enzo · 2021-01-11, 05:57

Someone really needs to stop Go Hands before they kill animation again.

Haak · 2021-01-11, 06:28

This is a Go Hands production? Man, I really thought they were going to go places like Ufotable after the Mardock Scramble series but everything after that has been a decade long descent into banality instead...

What, no. This isn't GoHands. It's Visual Flight
