[@epowga1811]

The reason why the animation in the story mode looks rough, it's cause it was developed during covid, and sacrifices had to be made

[@dad5088]

Wasnt it also made by like 4 people?

[@childlikesaiyan]

I think blendergang can top that ngl

[@subbotfrfr-nr1fp]

Hey it's the Slayer theme composer!

[@civilsuperior]

it’s the one and only epowga 😮

[@dyrr836]

Yeah I guarantee that's what happened, the early arcade mode stories suffered for the same reason. And it could have been worse cause the game was released later than intended.

[@overlordchemm3705]

There will be a good number of "Sin being a dumbass" compilations by the time the anime is finished, mark my words.

[@Existence27]

There will be enough content for 50 edits in the first 3 episodes and that's why he's my fav

[@straycat6214]

Chances are he’s at least mentioned, he’s very important to a lot of the story and generally just a very important character and you could also probably say he’s a bit of a foil to sol so I think there’s a good shot

[@CantHandleThis6]

I think whoever is in the anime might come to the game season 4. If we see Dizzy? pack it up. Jam? Pack it up. My girl Kum!? Pack it up. ROBO-KY!!?? PACK. IT. UP.

[@JackDout]

Every episode, ends with Slayer doing a haiku. Such Dandyism.

[@Phosphophyllite21]

Seeing a video on this topic with no Houseki no Kuni mention is criminal. Also: The studio that's making this is also the one that did the Strive MVs (such as the Strive Anniversary one).

[@Kalx-Kobalt]

as a big fan of Trigun Stampede, I'm excited for GG anime. The trailer already sold me on the animation, and I think that it'll hold its own from other 3d anime with its unique style and crazy lore. Plus its Sin and Sol, how could you not be excited? lastly to me, as a newer gg fan, I think Sol represents old GG, and Sin the newer GG. This anime will bridge that gap and many more than we anticipate, at least that's my opinion atm.

[@MorbyLol]

[@jngo172]

I can’t wait for Tsukihime to get a new anime next following GGST: Dual Rulers. Not like Tsukihime getting a anime ever happened before………………

[@CrimsonMoonM]

I'm just glad that we finally have an official English release after all these years. Never mind it also being the legendarily anticipated remake on top of that as well. When I first read through the original in my early teens, the timeline we're currently in seemed absolutely impossible. I'd totally love an anime adaptation of the first Melty Blood installment's VN mode, though, since I doubt they're interested in remaking it anytime soon, as Type Lumina's timeline is doing its own thing.

[@arthurpprado]

I trust Sanzigen with the animation, mostly because they've already done some short videos for Strive, including the anniversary one, where they have the attention to detail to replicate the art style of each Guilty Gear game as the video retold the story of the universe and games. As for Dual Rulers being a landmark in CGI anime, I think that ship has sailed a little bit. As you said, anime like Beastars have already been doing CGI animation with the aim to replicate 2D art styles, not to mention how JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has openings that are iconic for replicating Araki's art style in 3D while also managing to make really smooth animations with them

[@Anthy_pantz]

So hyped, hope it's good.

[@immumeii]

they better do a good job catching people up and not just assume everyone has learned the rest of the story

[@mrpotoo3772]

You will be disapointed then

[@krisnaputramaulidan2843]

Guilty Gear? Catching people up with the story?

[@DrMorganstien]

fun vid, been mostly tuned out of anime for a bit so this was good info to have summed up

[@Vinwastaken]

love the persona 4 sound effects ❤

[@Akamiruu]

Sanzigen was a great pick as the animation studio since Arcsys has worked with them before with the “Find your one way” MV and that was a banger, I can’t really speak for Sanzigen as much except that they have also done the 3 movie Initial D Legend series which I found they animated well with the racing scenes, and the newer Initial D arcade games essentially switched to their artstyle. So hopefully Dual Rulers are in good hands.

[@conkersuprfan]

I am so excited for whatever this turns out to be!

[@user-cm3vn3sp8g]

I thought it was rotoscoped (traced over 3d models) most scenes then only used just 3D for the action scenes.

[@expressedit633]

Something important to note is that Sangizen also made the 1st anniversary music video, which has some BANGER animation

[@TheFiendJr]

Im going to gess that Unika is going to be a playable character in strive, that and were not going to get Season pass 4 till the anime is over.

[@AofCastle]

No season 4 until the anime is over means a whole year with no DLC. I doubt it

[@fat4eyes]

If Sol doesn't say "I. Am. The. Guilty. Gear!" I will riot.

[@sakuraadachigaming]

[@aganaom1712]

Inb4 unika is s4 dlc character and is a mid range control character

[@Rockernalleyb]

My hope is that the anime kicks off a whole bunch of new Guilty Gear players. Give us street fighter size numbers next year at Evo.

[@christopheraustin5915]

I feel like GG might have the most coherent fighting game story out there, mostly because it’s not really about the fighting. The tournament setup was almost immediately abandoned in favor of having an ensemble cast having to deal with some big bad’s machinations and crossing paths in the process. The most recent games have been resolving the “That Man” plotline that started with the first game, and have done well to move characters beyond their original motivations. I think that lends itself to more plots.

[@ZoneScore]

I think using the 3d models is a good choice. with the complexity of some designs (visually)- unless they're redesigned to be simpler, it would be hard to consistently 2d animate these, especially with action scenes. The trailer looks promising visually. With the animation of in-game story modes, i personally think the animation for the story itself, wasn't a priority, i think that arcsys saw that story mode, being something you can't really put on pause and rewind ect- was a thing many don't touch unless its recorded and reuploaded on youtube. and focused on other aspects of the game especially considering the development window (a chunk of it taking part during covid) The "imperfections" you mentioned, are likely smear frames, done to make motion more fluid and fit well into the 24FPS format most animation goes in. since you mostly likely don't pause randomly to see a smear frame unless looking for it. Other 3d anime do end up rough, but i personally there's one anime, that is important to mention, Dorohedoro, it's a mix of CGI and 2D, there isn't a lot of 100% 2d scenes, most are a mix, or CGI. Dorohedoro's artstyle is grounded so well it's not that big of a problem, i believe guilty gear, especially strive- also has an artstyle that is just as well grounded. anyways gekko "the artstyle of GUILTY GEAR!" video when? /lh

[@punkypony5165]

I hope this does well. Arcane is a masterpiece of a show with some of the best 3D animation period.

[@alexandreturcotte6411]

No Animated Garo mention, but to be fair the live-action series probably comes in people's mind first with this one.

[@barrymaslow8441]

There is no plural of anime that is... AnimeS

[@DirtyCasual36]

another anime that did 3D/CGI right are the anime adaptations of The World Ends with You. Despite what people may say about the pacing, I could not tell if there were 3d parts added to it or if it was purely 3d.

[@pepsiman4633]

DAISUKE, PUT ROBO KY IN DUAL RIDERS, AND MY LOFE IS YOURS!

[@paperwatt]

Whenever I think of 3D models in anime, I think of the old Kirby anime "Right back at ya". And those looked totally fine... As long as they didn't put 3d models next to 2D sprites. Luckily we've come a long way for 3d since the 2000s.

[@jesusrosa9939]

With there special blend of animation. Do you think they would be able to do a darkstalkers game.Since there animations are so unique

[@nahemiasalbo5927]

They totally could but I personally would preffer a visual style like Skullgirls tbh

[@user-dx1lx6vf4n]

I have a feeling we’re gonna see Uniqua as a DLC in strive at some point. Especially since, as far as I can tell, we’re running out of more recognizable old characters to throw in to a point Arcs is gonna have to start making originals again at some point.

[@JustAnotherSomeDude]

Having seen studio orange, I think dual rulers has a shot to do amazing stuff. I mean Land of the Lustrous was from 2017

I dunno man, animators adding even more CGI into their anime is exactly what I DON'T want to happen

[@_Ebag_]

bro thats not Unika thats Bo Flingus

[@danielm5161]

3d CGI tends to be slower and clunkier than hand animation. The spiderman multiverse movies a really good counter example though. And in game animations of Strive of course. In game animations are the same 20-40 animations per character used repeatedly unlike a movie animation.

[@mathematical9529]

This also sets up new roster characters to be added something strive has been lacking

[@ArpPlays]

Is your only guilty gear animation looking good example in your files the answer instant kill?

[@PerucetusColossus]

If Faust isn't in, I'm not watching (jk it looks f*cking siiick)

[@LonggoBonggo]

Just to let everyone know, 3d animation has already evolved to a level where its genuinely good. The anime community just doesn't like cgi mainly due to past cgi anime looking bad and most dont give modern 3d anime a chance.

They could have used the resources to add Instant kills to strive instead of making an anime! this reminds me alot of how FFXV split its story into a movie, mobile game, visual novel, and incomplete dlc instead of having it all in the game. why do people do these things before a game is finished....

I'm not an anime fan. Nearly every anime I've ever watched has been a bore fest for me. But, as someone who is self-taught in animation, I love the style of anime, and the GG series has totally blown my mind with the blend of 2D and 3D techniques. I personally cannot wait to watch the series, if only to try and learn from the techniques shown

Nah, it'll be as trash as the Blaz Blue anime, Persona anime, etc. Video game anime doesn't have a good track record. There's just gonna be a revival of that sort of thing. Lots and lots of garbage adaptations. It's happening with Live Action thanks to weirdos actually praising One Piece and having super low standards, it will happen with anime because of this too. Yeah, there you go.
