Dr. Stone. It's not for everyone, but if you're into STEM, it's probably the closest you'll get to media accurately portraying science and technology.
It also puts into perspective just how much knowledge, expertise, and experience went into basically everything that we take for granted today. Makes you at least a bit hopeful for the future of humanity
Dr Stone had some really great moments and I enjoyed it greatly. I finished the manga, and I'll say at some point most of the science kinda goes out the window as far as them explaining stuff, and people seemed split on if they liked or hated the ending. Was good overall, but kind of lost some of the charm for me when they started building modern tech.
The biggest tragedy of the anime vs the Manga is the art. Boichii is fucking world renowned for how he draws anatomy and it's a huge focal point in his works and they just missed the whole mark there. Reminds me of how they fucked up junji itos works too. If anyone is interested in actual good low budget animations check out komicant communicate, they do so much with so little that you don't realize it's lower budget.
Always looked forward to the color cover art of his! I'll have to read more Junji Ito. Someone just the other week informed me of Enigma of Amigara Fault and I really liked that.
Komi is on my list, but my brain always confuses it with Aharen-san Is Indecipherable, which I've already seen.
Having watched anime from the 80s on, the low quality stuff nowadays I typically don't notice. As long as the stories are good and the voices aren't terrible, that's pretty much all I need.
I don't usually mind the low quality stuff but it irks me when the art is absolutely amazing and adds to the panels only to get butchered by cheapskate companies adapting it terribly. It's a tragedy for junji ito cause those ten hours of etching the shadows in any given page do actually matter to add to the horror and the feeling of wrongness. Only to be spit on by shit executives not giving a fuck and just having the animators use a fucking paint bucket to shadow.
Look at this image. The right side is a demon who you wouldn't wanna meet and the left is just a granny with bad ache.
True, but it is the manga that's the artists' work. Anime is (usually) an adaptation by someone else. I always appreciate when they put in similar effort, but I'm appreciative when they just adapt things faithfully. Looking at you, Promised Neverland!
Golden Kamuy is a meme with the bad CG animations that sometimes get put in. The bear is the famous one that looks like a cut n paste hack job.
But it is what it is. For action orientated anime especially, I'm just happy they get animated so I can follow the action better. My brain can fill in the missing bits.
