After 5 months of reading, I now have fully experienced the story of #umineko . It’s a rollercoaster of feeling I can’t stop thinking on, but coyness from others suggesting WHY it’s so special turned me off. I want to rectify that stance. Learning to Love Umineko WtC: A Thread 🧵

@spaceland07 It almost makes you wonder if Nintendo trusted them in part with knowing they WOULDN’T crunch the staff. Like I haven’t heard anything about poor treatment from the animators who worked on Mario, but Spider-Verse 2’s were put through the wringer on a constantly changing movie.

@headfallsoff You should've seen TV Tropes pages back when they had characters where basically everything about them was a spoiler whited out instead of giving a warning prior, including associated tropes. Characters like Hans from Frozen or Dante FMA were absolutely COVERED in White Out.

@chonzodraws @pink32s Movie Sonic is at least a distinct enough character. He has his own origin story, his own lore and even shows more signs of growing into the character during Movie 2 I hope continues in Movie 3. Prime Sonic lacks a lot of context which is a shame bc his voice is great.

@AL_theBoi I hope so; one of the first season’s weakest points was its visuals; it animated very flatly at times and the CGI integration was pretty dreadful despite all the care put into Omni-Man’s sequences. Hopefully that similar care extends further since they know they have an audience.

@invaderalex In all fairness, Ikuhara’s one of the few actual artsy creatives working in anime. Most TV anime tends to keep movement highly limited so it can draw more detailed characters and doesn’t make the cinematography much better to compensate. But he’s just got style and finesse.
