EP. REVIEW: World Trigger

I wish the reviewer wouldn't give this anime a hard time. Its Toei animation, what did you expect? You thought this anime would have Fate/Stay Night animation quality?

I look past the animation. I'm only in for the story.

What the fudge?! Why is this guy reviewing it if he doesn't like it? I wish this guy just stop because he's just pissing off others who like this series. If you want better animation, go review Fate Stay Night and leave our World Trigger alone.

Nobody cares about your elitist review. The anime is fun. If you don't like it, go back to your anime with blood, boobs, and sh*t.

What the heck ANN? Seriously.

People keep saying "budget", but I don't think the issue is a lack of money to pay for a decent adaptation of an up-and-coming Shonen Jump series. The problem is more likely that Toei is stretched too thin to focus on all the shows they're producing - I believe right now that lineup includes One Piece, Sailor Moon Crystal, Happiness Charge Precure, Dragonball Kai, Majin Bone, ...oh, and I guess World Trigger as well.

I think there were a couple of movies tying up studio resources (read: skilled production staff) as well, which meant that at least 1 show was going to be treated as the lowest-priority, do-what-you-can-with-it- assignment that gets shuffled around to anybody who has time to spare (I suspect that's actually happening to a number of their shows, and may explain some of the complaints fans have had about that show's animation as well).

Put another way - I've seen some of the sakuga folks on Twitter pointing out that Shirobako (a show that focuses on the ways anime production goes wrong) never really seems to hit on budget - as if a lack of money is almost never what goes wrong with a show. Lack of time and personnel (whether due to poor organization or just generally being overcommitted) seems a more likely culprit.

There are just too many dark or brown haired young men in uniforms in this show...Hopefully I won't be required to know who these other people are later on.

It's a shame that Toei really doesn't want to animate fight scenes for this show, because that's the core of most of its appeal.

Gabriella basically hit the nail on the head on why I've had such a hard time connecting with World Trigger - anime or manga. The character designs are just too samey and the named, important characters too numerous for me to keep track of or care about. That so many of them have the same basic personality doesn't help. Yuma, Osamu, and Chika all have decent character arcs set up, but they just don't have enough focus in their own story for me to get invested with the series.

Naruto is not over yet for Toei. (Toei makes Naruto too?)

Naruto is not over yet for Toei. (Toei makes Naruto too?) If they want to allocate more resources to World Trigger, it'll have to wait until something ends.

What particularly bugged me about my inability to remember characters in World Trigger is that I can do so with Bleach--in spite of its shoddy writing and massive cast (which, unlike One Piece, does not come and go), I can still recognize who's who, whereas World Trigger, a much better-written series, I always forget.

Say, what pace are they doing this at? It's about two chapters per episode, is it? If One Piece can be done with one chapter per episode and look good, then World Trigger's anime has no excuse with a faster pace and more substance per episode.
