Episode 3
Carole & Tuesday
I kinda want to drink Tuesday's urine.
can someone explain to me why a watanabe series only got a meme release that i had to download mpv to even play ?
You don't need MPV.
Dumb VLCfag. Just download raw and subs separately.
>last thread got 404'd
Thanks,jannie
KISS ME
VLC has been on thin fucking ice with its bullshit for a long time
I was due for a change anyway
Great job jannies.
Also very cute Tuesday
>vlc
That's not very smart of you.
How is .mkv a meme release? Am I missing something here?
Is Watanabe officially washed out? This is by far the most bland thing he's ever done. You wouldn't even know it was him if you went in blind.
ok thanks, maybe that is the way to go. My question really is why hasn't this been picked up by Horriblesubs? I haven't even bothered with nyaa for anything seasonal in ages and I didn't even know this existed because it wasn't on horriblesubs.
It's much better than ZnT and Apollon, sorry.
>bro what's good DJ name?
>Ertegun, bro
>so sick bro.
>deshou?
I was happy with mpc-hc for a long time
and then i just moved to vlc and i've been tolerating occasional screen tearing and shit like that's ok for too long now
but i'm through.
It just pisses me off that there literally isn't a good media player with a gui, i like using a gui, if that makes me an idiot so be it, i tolerated omxplayer with no gui for ages on a raspberry pi and it's just honestly annoying having to do that.
>and then i just moved to vlc
Are you for real?
ZnT and Apollon had some fucking life to them even if they didn't turn out great. This is just cold.
ZnT was amazing until they introduced the antagonist and then it absolutely shit the bed
I couldn't even watch Kids on the Slope because it was too gay for me and I even like Jazz.
How does this compare to Michiko & Hatchin? I know he didn't direct that but he was involved.
I heard that it was kill and stopped updating
and I know codecs don't stop so i figured it was only a matter of time, so yeah.
I'm making the change to MPV now but it makes me angry to not have a gui
>I heard that it was kill and stopped updating
Still works just fine.
interesting...
what do you mpvniggers thinks ?
Michiko to Hatchin was fun for the first few episodes and then just kind of lost its way. C&T is already more interesting.
hot
>C&T is already more interesting.
Carole and Tuesday has yet to do something interesting or new outside of its OP.
>do something new
? what do you even mean by that
>I'm making the change to MPV now but it makes me angry to not have a gui
MPV remains my favorite player right now, and while it's based around the command line it does have a GUI user. Are you sure whatever version you used or compiled it with had that selected? I thought pretty much everyone not using it as a component enable the on screen display for example, but since that is a configure option could be possible not to get it I guess.
The GUI doesn't handle all the preferences, but all controls, subtitles and so on seem to work fine even though I mostly just use the keyboard controls.
This week's jam session
When does Ohys come out?
Do you have anything other than buzzwords like "life" and "soul" to say why they were better?
It was pretty fucking bad right from the start.
>How does this compare to Michiko & Hatchin?
M&H is very inconsistent, it has some great episodes and characters and some terrible ones. It doesn't help that the beginning is the worst part of the series, so if you try it have some patience.
Forgot my pic. Does anyone still have the edit with the two spastic kids?
Very late, past midnight Europe time.
I only just heard about this show, and only just got mpv. yeah it has the controls onscreen and that's good enough.
but for example, changing audio sync or loading a different subtitle file, i don't think i can do that now so easily. It's annoying.
The art design in Carole and Tuesday fucking sucks. The worldbuilding is terrible. That fact that doesn't only add nothing, but actively detracts from the story because there's no thought put into it and its obvious. The music is garbage generic western pop that it would be genuinely hilarious if the world starts believing in "human music" because of it. Genuinely the worst soundtrack of any of his shows. The plot beats are all well tread shit you get in American TV movies, not even executed particularly well. It's the uglier Bones show this season in both art design and animation. There is literally nothing redeemable.
The art design is what really bothers me though because all of Watanabe's shows have been stylish until this shit came out.
>The art design in Carole and Tuesday fucking sucks
Your taste sucks
I'm already more invested in Carole and Tuesday's way up to the top then I was in Michiko and the search for her ex boyfriend.
>interracial lesbians
How utterly stupid. Don't they know that the whole point of interracial couples is for miscegenation to happen??
It's Mars, anything's possible.
I wish criticism between 'terrible' and 'brilliant' was possible
i haven't started it yet so i can't say myself but
>There is literally nothing redeemable.
come on dude... fucking really?
I'm not going to say it's shit, because it's passable, but thats all it is. As someone whose loved Watanabes shows, this genuinely feels like the death of him as an auteur. Literally anyone could have made this show.
That goal was an excuse
Just as in Samurai Champloo finding the sunflower dude or whatever
An excuse for the characters to spend time together. Not in a contrived narrative device way, but in a heartfelt 'the people around us and our day to day lives are what matters' way.
Well since Marsians can change gender I actually expect an episode where a boy version of Carole or Tuesday makes other girl wet for him, or Angela.
Ok I don't have an opinion myself because I haven't seen it yet, and you could well be right, I'm just saying that if you want to give an interesting criticism of something, you should try and say some positive things about it as well
I like the character designs, the OP, and the fashion design. The animation is nice (though not in the top 3 of the season), I may be a little harsher on it because I expected more, but to see a creator you love fall into mediocrity sucks.
Any criticism regarding the writing falls flat since you're comparing C&T to an embarassing shitshow like ZnT. BSD is also the significantly less animated show, the first episode was almost entirely talking heads, shot in the most stale way possible by an Iga who is completely phoning it in at this point.
C&T hasn't had the time to become a shitshow yet. ZnT started stronger.
I know man, it is sad
But we got a lot from him
just be thankful
hardly anyone can stay on their game for ever
>a bones 2 cour show
Almost 100% guarantee it will be QUALITY before long
The direction is amazing, if your really think anyone could've made this show then you're retarded.
>ZnT started stronger.
It absolutely did not. 9 and 12 were terrible characters from the get go, and so was the useless bullied girl. Their stupid videos with shitty riddles were already in episode one, as were their "terrorist attacks" that don't kill anyone. Thankfully I removed almost every memory of this garbage from my mind long ago, but the feeling of second hand embarassment I felt for Watanabe I can't forget.
>The direction is amazing
But its not.
There is only one show this season with truly incredible direction and its fucking unwatchable.
you're doing it again
fuck you user
Doing what? Why would you think that the writing magically turned into shit when 5 was introduced? It was fucking terrible from the start. I remember rolling my eyes when the faggot jumped the fence to where the pathetic female selfinsert was being pushed around and cheerfully said "Oooh, so this is what you call bullying, right?". Absolute dogshot. You probably were just distracted by the fancy music and direction.
>I couldn't even watch Kids on the Slope because it was too gay for me and I even like Jazz.
as expected from Yea Forums retards. of course you skipped the only decent title of that overrated director
refusing to say anything positive in your lengthy criticism of something
conforming to the terrible vs brilliant binary
糞黒人のアニメだ
SAGEしろ
What kind of janky setup does everyone use here to have so many issues? Ubuntu's version of VLC plays every fansub just fine for me.
It's a Netflix Japan exclusive for now. HS only rips from CR and Funi, as far as I know.
Amazon and Hidive too.
It's airing on multiple channels in japan.
It just got licensed in the west by Netflix so subs like half a year after it ends.
Or just wait for PAS tomorrow
>refusing to say anything positive in your lengthy criticism of something
I just praised the music and direction, can't you read? Unfortunately those don't make a show good if the writing is abysmal.
'distractedly fancy in a way irrelevant to quality' sounds like 'pretentious'
I just called them fancy, the rest are your assumptions.
'fancy' isn't praise
if you actually meant that the direction and music was great then the show wouldn't be 'terrible'.
They are, and the show is still terrible.
>3 episodes
>already aoty
wow
the problem is you run out of adjectives for something lacking significant redeeming qualities
Only AOTS, Boogiepop was better
Trolling isn't funny when everyone knows you're joking. It's supposed to be somewhat believable.
Sarazanmai?
Can't help your shit taste
How is that unwatchable? It's the most fun I've had this year.
Biggiepoop was painful to watch. So much potential ruined by shit pacing and direction.
Correct.
Man, this show is so shit, and yet is still the best show of the season, well, there's Senko-chan, but that's it.
Where were you in the Sarazanmai threads?
Cute
based
It’s great and feels like megalobox
And what’s wrong with songs sung in my native language?
Gay
Afaik he was kind of looking to make something popular again and I don't know if I can blame him for that. If he just kept making things that were mostly well-respected but had so-so financial returns, his directing days might've been numbered.
Personally I think it'll pick up as the story goes on (with music I actually like at some point), but then, the writing's been exactly what I'd expect so far, given the pacing and scope they're going for. The characters are kids and they more or less act their age, and contrivances will probably happen at least until they make the big time.
>the writing's been exactly what I'd expect so far
That's my biggest complaint so far. It's been fun, but very by the book. I really hope we get some curveballs or wild shit more befitting of the setting.
There is a interview with the director on the official website where he goes more in depth on what the story will become
>It's been fun, but very by the book.
It's way too soon to judge that, 90% of shows don't really stand out that much at first.
>It's way too soon to judge
Anyone with a remainder of some brains knew this is gonna be trash before the first episode even aired.
>ctrl+F
>nigger
>1 match
The times are a-changing.
You're a nigger.
I'm white, but not sure what it has to do with anything. I am user, my IRL characteristics don't matter.
What is this it looks like trash
I love Carole!
Times sure are a-changing.
Fair, episode 1 didn't stand out as much as the openers of some of his older shows. Don't know if that's down to the structure of the story they're telling or that there's no main writer with the necessary vision on staff like there was on most of those.
To be fair it was the same writer on both the first two eps so we don't know what the rest of them will bring
Subs when/where?
Maybe tomorrow.
Angela a best
Tuesday a second best
Carole a shit
Tomorrow at least. Don't think the raws are even out yet.
Raws are on nyaa.
Based
God I wish I were that Vogue guy asking Angela questions
Still makes me laugh. Hard.
>Afaik he was kind of looking to make something popular again
Well he failed miserably at that.
I FIND MY WAAAAAY HOME
>It's the most fun I've had this year.
Pretentious symbolims aren't fun, user.
I mean I have literally no faith that it will get better as it goes on because all of his recent work have actually gone to shit writing wise as the show progressed.
Fpbp
Me too user, me too.
Ikuhara may be slowly going senile in his old age but at least he still makes works that are distinctly his.
unconventional ≠ good
based
>maximum camp isn't fun
Pleb taste, son.
I like FLCL. Sarazanmai is just pretentious.
Its better than boring and medicore. At least it fucking tries.
"Pretentious" is pleb speak for "I don't get it". It's even funnier because Sarazanmai is more straightforward than FLCL so far.
Sarazanmai is extremely obvious about the themes it is building and has the plot structure of a fucking children show. Anyone who says they can't understand whats going on is just stupid.
Why are the character designs so bad? Why did they bother to put the story on mars? Why does 12% of the population commit 50% of the crime?
>wild shit more befitting of the setting
Like what? The sudden outbreak of the Butlerian Jihad?
What is this thing? Why do they think I want to look at ugly characters?
>Why did they bother to put the story on mars
This hurts the show a lot in my mind. Putting the show on mars without doing anything with it or thinking about the worldbuilding needed hurts immersion. Bebop got away with it because it was fucking stylish as hell so who cares, but this one doesn't have that kind of luxury because of poor art design.
>read this interview with Carole’s vocalist
It's more fun to say they are on Mars than to say they are simply in Brooklyn.
Why? There was barely anything to read there.
My bad, can't access Nyaa myself, been refreshing Erai's feed.
It's literally the same situation as Cowboy Bebop, which for the most part was simply classic noir/hard boiled/western tropes but IN SPACE. It's rule of cool, of course neither settings make sense.
>>Why did they bother to put the story on mars
>This hurts the show a lot in my mind. Putting the show on mars without doing anything with it or thinking about the worldbuilding needed hurts immersion. Bebop got away with it because it was fucking stylish as hell so who cares, but this one doesn't have that kind of luxury because of poor art design.
Dude, there's still a lot of time to make full use of the setting though I don't expect it go Total Recall. Tuseday's mom political stuff could even play a role with Earth's relationships or something
Thats the whole thing. The rule of cool worked in Cowboy Bebop because the setting was fucking cool unlike it this show where its literally only a distraction.
So it works in Cowboy Bebop because you liked it and here it doesn't because you don't like it.
Is this yuri?
I don't think there's a real difference.
Possibly.
no
Is this the Cowboy Bebop sequel/prequel?
requel
Rule of cool = things don’t have to make sense
>Shit Arcade Cabinets
>Random Furniture Placement
>Emoji sculpture
We so hip and kewl, knomesayin?
SJW the anime
What did Watanabe mean by this?
Is he going to fuck that dried up old hag? What a champ.
Rule of cool doesn't count if what you're doing doesn't make things cool. The mars setting isn't cool or interesting and might as well be Earth in 20 years, so it's adding literally nothing.
You genuinely believe the mars setting in this is as cool as cowboy bebop?
The mars setting in cowboy bebop was basically just Brooklyn.
Hillary and Bill Clinton's sex life.
But it looked unique and fun and "cool". It's about art design.
Yeah sure, if you find Brooklyn unique fun and "cool".
Tuesday's brother is Hillary.
That hag is his mother fag
Blonde spike
Nothing changed besides a mod with a personal agenda backseating these threads all day long.
Imagine if that useless nignog gave the rest of the board the same enthusiastic treatment.
If only.
Cute married couple
>Yeah sure, if you find Brooklyn unique fun and "cool".
Let's put it this way
1970's-90's Brooklyn was kind of a death trap
Nowadays, it's one of the hipper places to go.
Well, Brooklyn changed during the years and so the setting in this anime did the same.
It’s not a yuri!
>manager sounds like he recorded in a different studio
>record people BREAKING INTO A PRIVATE BUILDING
>T-TOUSATSU??
might as well accuse him of rape
FUCK LIBERAL NIGGERS
It was basically Hong Kong until they fucked it up in the movie
yet
I assume you mean character design or you're talking preferences, cause Carole & Tuesday's set designs are way more in depth than Bebop's were. Maybe not as exotic to our eyes with all the different foreign stylings but they're objectively more detailed.
Uhm, is this really how two healthy heterosexual females should react to this situation?
Nana is more gay that this is not gay at the same time
Yes
Is this the boring yuri trash of the season?
Yes.
It's fun enough so far.
>"Pretentious" is pleb speak for "I don't get it".
I get it. It's pretentious precisely because it tries to be deep but it's not.
>Two nubile girls see his jacked celeb body
>Doesn't touch them
Unrealistic. He would've had him join him in the pool.
Tuesday is still cute and that's enough for me.
>Ruin someone's house over some petty bullshit
Wow, Tuesdays is kind of a bitch.
I liked it. I wasn't expecting her to snap like that. She's surprisingly short-tempered and that's kind of cool.
You don't need MPV, just set your output to OpenGL in VLC's video options
Well he is sweaty.
>Liking bitches
It's fiction. You can like something you might not like in real life. That's kind of the point.
So, another by-the-numbers episode?
Another fun episode, you mean.
By-the-numbers fun or Not so by-the-numbers fun?
If you though episode 1 and 2 were by the numbers, you will think this one is as well.
I'm not talking about "in depth". It's just not as pretty or cool to look at. The poor choice of color palette is part of it, but it's just fucking boring in general.
>24 episodes
>they get famous on episode 2
Who wouldn't find this situation weird?
why are caroles lips so big? Are there bees to sting people on mars?
To be very kissable.
Too bad they can't get the science fiction right.
>they get famous on episode 2
Watch the episode, retard.
But that's what happened.
No
