WHAT

Litterally good child if you disagree

To be desu I don't really mind the animation, it's just the fucking song. Somebody actually approved that shit.

yeah the music is pretty bad, shantae has always tried to go for that cheesy early-morning cartoon/ slapsticky anime style but the song is just really bad even with that in mind

How many times are you gonna post that shit till you realize no one cares?

Shantae looks like THAT?

it's her catch phrase. she says it in every game.

It literally made the Monster Boy theme song sound good

I just saw it today, I posted it here because I couldn't believe someone OK'd that absolutely terrible song

That is just Trigger's general style. Hyperactive animation an lots of angles. Just look at KLK, Gurren Lagann, Little Witch Academia and Panty and Stocking.

It's really sad that this opening animation really sucks
it's not action-y enough
there aren't any parts where you feel hype about what's gonna happen in game
and they probably spent a bunch of money to hire Trigger to make this

here's a few examples of good game openings
they don't even need to be fully animated, their main purpose is to hype you up to play the game

Not him but none of the intros you posted make me want to play any of those games. They remind me of the shitty UI intros from old anime where they didn't have enough budget to animate the entire opening well so they tried to cover it up with CG UI effects and shitty 3D models that don't really move but they pin around a lot or zoom in on the character's face as she opens her eyes slowly. Shantae's intro sucks but not as much since it's animated properly and looks at least on par with a Saturday Morning cartoon/Toonami op.

Is Shantae even that popular?
I played through Pirate's Curse and didn't think it was particularly remarkable. You don't even play as best girl so I don't understand what all the hubub seems to be.

it's not on par at all
first of all it's too short, that it kind of abruptly ends just when you expect it's going to get to THE good part
second, the fucking song is bad. plenty of cartoon openings had shitty animations but the songs salvaged it
thrid, again, the point is not to have super duper excellent animation, but to get hyped to play the game

>none of the intros you posted make me want to play any of those games
of course not, because you're not interested in the games themselves. When I say "hype you to play the game", I mean you're already interested in it or bought it and this is just something extra to pump you up whenever you boot up the game.
These op animations aren't supposed to, and can't really sell you on the game. (And they shouldn't if you have any kind of intelligence)

Trigger has produced two shows of worth which is more than Yea Forums has in terms of games.

I hadn't really thought about it until another user pointed it out a couple threads ago, but these games kinda are just blatant copies of Wonder Boy. Which makes me feel like a retard because I played the fuck out of those games on emulators as a kid

I want to get into this series.

Wait what collection? Shantae or Switch Force?

they're shit

just skip them all, this opening is an insult to all Shantae fans

Pirates Curse is good and a lot of people like to shit on 1/2 genie hero but it's perfectly enjoyable and I honestly find the new style charming

You fags really need to let go when that one nigger started plastering "blacked" all over anime girls.

No, it is niche. If you didn't like Pirate's Curse, you won't like any of the games.
Personally, I like the games and would have even if it wasn't the current Shantae on it.

I'd rather have a 3D Shantae game at this point ala Hat in Time/Ocarina of Time than this to be honest.

People play these games?

I don't know. I like the 2D style they've been going for and I think if they went for 3D the models would look absolutely garbage.

I like Trigger and don't like the intro. They've animated much better sequences. For something so short, you'd think every second of animation would be smooth and polished. Instead it's choppy, especially the perspective/camera movements.

The absolute state of Yea Forums lmfao

Attached: 1560674593691.gif (480x360, 356K)

They probably used a smaller team for it. But it still had a lot of the same choppy feeling like some of the trigger shows has, so I don't mind it.
I'm sure the people on Wayforward are still ecstatic for having them making the opening animation. I sure would.

Smears are for movement. That shit is a keyframe. Shantae stops at that pose and doesn't move from it.

You can tell an underage wrote this.

It all depends of they cheap out with Borderlands colors or make a game that looks as decent as Hat in Time. I know they have the budget for it.
The developer skill for 3D platforming, not so much...

Whoever sings these songs, her voice sucks

>you shouldn't like it at all

And then Yea Forums claims there's no hivemind mentality around here...

I wouldn't mind if they went back to Pirate's Curse style instead, but the biggest issue with HGH wasn't the art, that's for sure.

>I know they have the budget for it.
I mean, budget means shit if the people doing it are awful at 3D.

This. Trigger studio is just a meme.
When the game comes out and Yea Forums bombs it because it's Half Baked Shit 2, everyone will say they wasted the budget on the opening and music alone.

No, you actually just genuinely went "stop liking what I don't like." You worded your thoughts perfectly, you just have fucking retarded thoughts.

Ironic, seeing that's a decaying zombie

Why are you angry at him?

Animation style is fine.but nothing stands out as amazing.

There's no action scenes or any choreography to mention, so we don't get hyped to really play anything. It seems like more of a... teaser for an opening?

It really feels like they've got their B-Team doing animation (which is... fine) and they decided to give storyboarding and director role to entirely new people and this is their first try.
The song's beat is catchy, the lyrics are boring, and the voice sounds about as annoying as I imagine Shantae or Rottytops would sound.

The main reason why this intro is more choppy and out there then the usual trigger animation is cause this one is mainly done by Ikarashi.
Think the rest of the staff were busy with promare I guess.
Personally I really like his style of work, but I can understand why some people an't too hot on it.

That's the same singer for the River City Girls trailer. The song's beat is just all over the place, adds an Egyptian cue near the end, and doesn't match the animation cues at all. You can tell the song came after the animation and it still sounds shit on instrumental.

what I posted actually motivates me to play my game
whatever this is for Shantae isn't even good enough to be a TV commercial

We don't mind the choppy style so much, but rather that the opening appears to be more of a slideshow than an actual opening. There's nothing of consequence that happens except for the cannonmine landing and that only has 1 frame of animation that reacts to it, and then all the action shots from the characters have no frame of reference for anything else so it looks like we've been transported to a void.

These artists are just shit. I saw the design sheet Trigger did. they couldn't even draw hands right in that. they have no idea of how to do stylised anatomy right & don't even seem to know how animation works.

Imagine the farts she could make with that ass.

Because each episode is 20 minutes with shit happening all the time so it is harder to notice compared to a half a minute music video.
Kill la Kill non-BD release is a gold mine, but it is hardly noticeable because it kind of fit the style.

They're normally fine with doing stylized anatomy, but they have most of their animation team working on Promare at the moment, so they only pulled the least important people for this.

Doubt but now I'm curious to see animation you've made.

I mean, you're the one started out "you shouldn't like it at all".
You fucked up by lowering the bar from the very first comment you made.

Why couldn't they get the same studio that did Monster Boy's opening cinematic? That actually looks good

youtu.be/B2mkzj0cb80
youtu.be/G6IdXh4MRn0

I can give you two reasons.
1. They were fully booked and didn't have time to animate for Wayforward.
2. Wayforward wanted trigger style opening.

Eh, I don't know why, but it really seems like the studio is actually shilling for it.

Monster Boy's animation is fine. It's generic as fuck and absolutely nothing to write home about though - it looks like every anime you've ever seen. I much prefer the style of Shantae's opening, even if the content of it was fucking balls.

Because that looks boring as fuck?

that feels very specific to a late '90s children's show. why couldn't battletoads get a decent art style...

It's not like Shantae has particularly good action, their fans are in it a lot for the adventure, story, and visuals/music. If the song was better (mostly in that it didn't suddenly end), it would be good.

Also Grandia has a more hype opening than all the ones you posted combined. youtube.com/watch?v=ji71k70CYOE

She would have trouble belly dancing without wobbling everywhere.

Most games are for kids.

Trigger was always an overrated animation studio, they got a lot of traction with Kill la Kill but their shit has been subpar ever since

Yeah, she says it in every game.

Story is that Matt Bozon (Shantae creator) knew someone who said that in real life, and everyone thought it was stupid and adorable, chiefly because the person saying it did not realize how stupid it sounded. So they put it in the game as a tribute.

Overall, animation is way better today than 20 years ago. It's just that we remember the good ones, but even during the 80's and 90's there were tons of shit too. But the shitty ones today are better animated than the shitty ones back then.
I still think completely hand drawn most of the times looks way better than animation made on a computer.

Which of her games are even worth getting off of steam? I was thinking of trying them out but the half genie hero with dlc was what I was gonna get instead of the remakes.

Why would that matter?

He isn't wrong though. Though, the Shantae opening is one of their worse.

And I see very few people saying she's in smash with a serious tone.

you do realize most computer animation are still hand drawn right and supposed "traditional animation" entries are actually digitized (see The Little Mermaid)

Yes, but when I mean hand drawn I mean without tablet and excessive amount of computer tools.

Just play them all underage. Stop forming opinions from others and think instead of being an NPC.

Pirate's Curse is by far the best one. Risky's Revenge is too short and more like a prototype for PC, it was a DSI downloadable title so it's really short and padded out with obnoxious fetch quests. Half-Genie Hero is mediocre, it has Full HD graphics but it's far too easy and boring. Also short, can beat the whole thing in 5 hours.

You're the one who brought out the population of the world as a modifier you mongoloid. I'm not the one who moved the goalposts.

Sounds like this person may have been Japanese and had a heavy accent

In Japanese they pronounce "two" as "tsu"
And of course the difficulty for them differentiating L and R sounds

So "let's go" transliterated into Japanese is "rettsu go"

>Take the L
even if you're right it would be appreciated if you didn't bring mouthbreather lingo into this site.

Trigger is utter shit

>it's an eroge but also a card game but also a rpg but also light novel
Jesus fuck

>You're the one who brought out the population of the world as a modifier you mongoloid
I wasn't the original poster idiot. (You) posted implying fucking ~100 is a fucking ballpark example of opinions against this user's saying people actually liked it. You idiots are fucking masochists and it's best to treat this place like you treat it: with shitposting, like it deserves. You people deserved to be shit on just like you shit on other things you don't like. "Not a hivemind", fucking topkek.

that's why it's better than Shittae

>People were actually hyping up 30 seconds of sub-par animation

Are Shantaefags the biggest retards in existence?

>he thinks youtube hits are unique hits
>he thinks that amount is tantamount to the discussion here

it is the reason why you fags are delusional with regards to representation

the purpose of an opening is to give you an idea of what you're in for in the most streamlined and easy to understand method as possible. Most well made openings understand this idea and you can even take 1:30 openings and edit them down to 30 seconds and it will still work. Here's some examples of various openings(both anime and not) made to be the same length as the shantae opening, notice how literally all of them are done better than this because they all still give a rough idea of what's going to happen in broad stokes rather than Shantae's approach of just going through as much shit as you can.

my issue with Shantae's opening is that it doesn't really feel like it did what it was supposed to do, it feels like it was supposed to go on for longer despite being the average length for a cartoon opening.

So it's likely it's just one autist watching the same 30 sec video 1 million times and not at least half of that being original. Got it.

The issue is game flow
Pirates curse felt nice because you could do everything at once.
Transforming constantly was a chore

I get that's what shantae does, transforming and all, but Having all my arsenal at all times without having to literally pause the game every 15 seconds made pirates curse way better for me

>this thread
>claim

Panty & Stocking, grosse merde.

honestly seeing the western cartoon openings in comparison to this makes the whole thing more jarring. Shantae's opening feels like it lasts 5 seconds despite being the same length as all of these while the western cartoon ones feel like they go on for a while despite only being 30 seconds.

>every 15 seconds
Nice shitpost. However the issue isn't the transforming, it's just the need to transform for one oddball point of the game to progress. The original game was more like a puzzle platformer. People didn't grow up on something like this so they reac against the ununsual.

I'd suggest AHiT hat selection wheel instead for one thing. Then make it where you have basically movement options in the form of animal suits instead of full blown animal transformations. Fill animal transformations to get into unreachable areas, with basical battle suit transformations for platforming/movement options.

Again, a real fan of Shantae wouldn't remove the identity, just tweak the execution of the idea.

No, but she makes peoples dick hard.
The franchise survives on fanservice.

the animation moves so fast that you don't even have time to process little deformities like that
animation is filled with that kind of stuff, you could cherrypick a single frame from any show and find jank proportions
but this poster is probably underage so I don't know why I bother

Yeah I know that, I was referring to all these ad nauseam clichés we get with these anime stuff. They're really becoming creatively baknrupt. The western stuff (comics,etc) too.

But in that case the animators aren't to blame, the writers are.

cliches are nice if done well
they provide something comfortable and familiar for us to anchor ourselves on

The whole video is just a slideshow

how much money do you think Wayforward can spare for something like this?
I can tell you it isn't much

I noticed that too wtf, I guess the Shantae's music really does fuck with the pacing

I see what you mean but when it's overdone to death, when all the protagonists are the same sword & shield knights/samurai with a katana, black girls are afro sassy persons, when all the villains are explaining their plan to the hero instead of just killing him... It was okay the 99th time.

anons... what the fuck is the appeal of shantae games other than the visuals of the characters? All the gameplay I've looked at is fucking shallow slow as shit. Even Kirby offers more challenge..

Seriously, they're the worst. And they ended up removing a bunch of their content when it was too "extreme", but their definition waffles between guro (which is fair) to panty shots (what the fuck) depending on the mod of the day..

At one point they started playing a video with a bunch of fat neckbeards if it detected you were blocking ads or certain scripts. This was an additional layer on top of some other anti-adblock stuff that was already in effect. That and one other thing I can't remember, think it had to do with thumbnails, was the final straw for me, figured I may as well just use sankaku instead and then just dig through the artist's pixiv if I liked any.
Yes. I would even recommend it to my pleb friends for a laugh if they asked me for a good site, of course I wouldn't let know it was a jest.

Mostly the visuals.

Pirates curse is a great platformer with fun mechanics that's built for speedrunning, but all the others get by on pic related.

You know what rot smells like? Farts. But 10 times stronger.

The song grew on me in being a cute little tune I could see Shantae liking herself.
It looks good overall, the colors are great, but the direction is so damn generic, it is the absolute most cookie cutter "Trigger/Gainax" animation you could do, almost to a soulless degree.
But I still love it simply for the idea of Shantae actually having an opening from Trigger and that generic or not it's still not outright bad.

Attached: 1378988987128.jpg (500x624, 78K)

I want Shantae to shrink me and smother me under her feet.

Alternatively, we could NOT discuss farts, in any thread, ever.

Besides, Rottytops deserves your love, even if you might need a noseplug.

>Points out something that is not animation
O I'm laffin

IMO it makes Rottytops a more fun character. When shes the perkiest and most sex-happy, yet at the same time she's also a walking bag of disgusting green pus and would smell horrible.

The song sounds like something Shantae would straight up sing, annoying voice and all, so I actually don't mind it.

But the animation is more than just boring and generic, it's straight up lifeless. Sure the style looks good, but the entire thing is basically a slideshow. It really feels like they either didn't care and just wanted a paycheck, or they put their newest hire on it and they just wanted to play it safe.

Does she get a love interest at any point?

Honestly the biggest problem in this OP isn't the animation but how bad the song is

Always nice to see a black sun, the heart is too artificial and clearly made as a response to the spade whereas a black sun or swastika is a real life symbol.

No, it's both.

If the song was actually catchy, it might help us get over the slideshow of an opening. But while it's something Shantae would legitimately sing, it's not very fun to listen to.

It changes tone too many times within just thirty seconds

That's cute.

Utterly weak and bad shitposting. You should have your license revoked.

She's indie popular, which means to say she's popular enough to be recognized by those who care enough about games to follow the indie games but is generally unknown outside of that, She also has a following in Japan and gets plenty of fan art from there for some reason.

Gonna be honest with you here, this only sounds better than the original by the virtue of me not being able to understand Japanese, but it's still not good.

Shantae was never too popular, but her games were always acclaimed by both critics and normal people.

They are good for what they are. If you want a simple, colorful semi-metroidvania at times, Shantae is a solid one and doesn't take too long to play either.

Keep the bottom bush and I will agree

I want Shantae so that that one shitty model by Rafaknight can stop being the only 3D model of her to exist.

What funds.

Braindead, there is not need for a mark when is the default state.

Yeah but that would make it a 7/10 at best, assuming everything else in the game is perfect. But it's not. The controls can be a bit wonky sometimes and there's a ton of backtracking and some annoying puzzles (the one where you turn into a mouse in the desert tower in Half Genie Hero was so annoying). And the music isn't that great either - well, it used to be good, but they are making it worse and worse with every game.
