That's definitely what it is, but I can't exactly tell what aspect of digital vs handrawn I don't like...I think it's mostly the way characters and backgrounds move in digital that bothers me, but I do (MUCH) prefer hand-drawn art vs digital art.

I really enjoyed the first two episodes of Broken Blade.

The best way I can describe it is that it's sorta like Code Geass mixed in with Escaflowne.

Saw the first episode of Yugioh Arc V, it was pretty cool, though i have questions about the new cards...

I feel like the female character is gonna have relevance later on, because her name also has Yu in it.

I watched episodes 22-32 of Yu-Gi-Oh! today. UP to Yugi's duel with Jounouchi.

So I checked out the first episode of Majin Bone.

In itself, I kinda like the idea of anime tokusatsu. Part of the charm of toku for me is seeing them realise super powered battles with real people, week after week but the budget restraints are undeniable. Thus it's a pretty exciting prospect to imagine how toku might look if it wasn't battling against the rules of the real world, both in terms of science and economics. Although, I have yet to see a show that really captures how delicious this premise sounds.

Sadly Majin Bone is another show like that, it was just a sort of generic, bland anime, like a lot of the stuff I've watched this year. The action scenes have potential but the clunky CG animation kills it before it gains momentum.

Meh.

I finish Tiger & Bunny and the whole show is fantastic. I wish they will make a second season.

8th MS team episodes 1 and 2

And now back to 0079. Episode 1 was pretty basic, introducing the main characters and doing some cool small-scale space stuff. That female pilot is hot though. That episode had the best fight scene between a GM and a Zaku ever.

Episode 2 was showing the main character proving himself and some more character introductions. It looks like they're using Mark-IIs just from the design and color scheme of them but they're actually using RX-79s. I also find it kinda weird that its supposed to be this gritty war scenario deep in a southeast asia jungle but all of the mobile suits make all the same noises from 0079 Gundam. Its unintentionally funny in a way to hear these cartoony sound effects in the middle of an even more grounded situation like this. Also, titties!

The animation is quite literally, amazing. Even on the simpler suits like the GM and Zakus, you can see loads of detail and refined panels. the Gundams looked especially clean and give a shine and panel shape that only later 2000s series could match.

I'm also watching the dubbed version and while the voice acting isn't amazing, I find that the voices all fit.

To be fair, I feel like toku isn't too concerned with re-inventing itself, and is pretty generic a lot of the time. It makes sense that toku-esque anime is a bit generic as well. Then again, i'm still fairly new to tokusatsu, so I could be way off
