Nah, it's just pointless. There is basically never a time CGI works better than traditional animation. Like compare Macross Frontier to Gundam 00. Same era, but Gundam 00 looks a hell of a lot better because it uses traditional animation in the fights. There's a lot of shows that extensively use CGI for fights and what not that I enjoy, and I won't say all CGI is terrible, but it's blatantly inferior at best.

Never watched RWBY but I know it's fanbase looks godawful and Rooster Tooth is a lolcow company so who cares.

I don't think it's inferior, I think you just really need to know how to make it look good and mix it with 2D animation enough so that it doesn't look like shit. If all CGI looked like Beastars and Promare then nobody would be complaining about it but we still mostly get shit like Kengan Ashura that looks kinda good one moment and then like total shit the next. Studio Mappa is also giving CGI a bad name by using it pretty much exclusively as a way to cut corners since they work on a million things at the same fucking time, I think the CGI titans could work well if more effort was put into them but that's clearly not what's happening cause we're basically getting this:

RWBY though? I have seen SFM animations on youtube made by a single person that look better than RWBY in every conceivable way. The way the characters in RWBY move reminds me of the movement in Sonic Adventure 2 but with none of the charm. The fact that this shit got more than a single season is baffling.

There's a comment in the post on ann about the podcast. One person says Vic had a meltdown at a Cheesecake Factory?

Do you know who posted it?
Cause there was this one person who ALWAYS went around telling a story like that.
From the last time I remember it, they where at a cafe and Vic was there on the phone and without warning, he starts screaming at the top his lungs going off on who ever was on the phone with him.

I always thought the story was kinda bull, especially since they trotted it out whenever they where talking about Vic.

For a bit more clarity, I remember this when they where making a huge stink about him getting the role of Rin from Free!

I do believe Vic was doing a fan request (probably an Edward Elric "short rant"). Whoever overheard it most likely didn't know the context and reported about it to their gossipy friends to something close to "OMG! I saw Dick Mangina screaming into his phone! OMG!"
The rest is history.

Sounds about accurate.

That makes sense to me.

I always thought the story was weird because if Vic was being that histrionic, wouldn't they have gotten a manager?

They couldn't even tell a "that happened" right.

ANN commenters are speaking the same kind of language, as if it’s coordinated to say whatever they want to say without actually thinking.

But whats the CF story

It’s probably one of those over exaggerated, that totally happened bro, trust me stories that doesn‘t seem to hold any weight. Vic yelling at a Cheesecake Factory does not sound right at all, since the only time I hear him yelling is when he’s in character playing Broly.

 

[Martha Speaks]

I was bored and for no reason decided to actually read the last preview guide.

Spoiler

Yeah, we get it, you hate slice-of-life. Why the f**k do you watch and review them all then? Also lmao at her saying the yuri weirds her out.

Whining about the fanservice while not a word is said about the story being told. Exactly what I expected.

Two more reviews where Caitlin can't make her mind up on whether she likes or hates the show.

There's only one known instance of him acting remotely like that and:

She literally only does it for money.
She admitted to that in the thread to her Nekopara review.
She even admitted that she only gave that title a pass because she had a friend that liked it.

Apparently her job is as a preschool teacher. Maybe that does pay low enough she needs an alternative source of income, but does it have to be wasting her time with shows she knows she won't like?

She admitted to that in the thread to her Nekopara review.

I distinctly remember that review and forum thread because someone called out ANN's bullshitting while Caitlin's reply completely ignored it.

Spoiler

For the record, said friend is the Chiaki who appeared ealier on this thread, I believe.

A teacher...a preschool one at that.
Man, I really dislike this bitch more and more...but I'm going to stop there.

Yeah, her Nekopara review was one of those turning point moments for me.

My problem isn't that she hates the show, (to each his own, that's how I feel)
But that she basically writes a scathing review, but passes it anyway cause she doesn't want to hurt a friend's feelings.

Bitch, you know your review is worthless now right?

Call me whatever you want, but I hate that kind of thing when it comes to reviews and the like.

Bonus from last season:

Does Caitlin also take issue with Pokemon not being like real-life dogfighting or Mario being too unrealistic for real Italian plumbers?

Wonder if she loves Yuri on Ice.

That's literally one of her favorite anime. It was on her anime bingo

Of course.

If they somehow try to snub Mushoku Tensei if it gets any award nominations, you’ll know the reason why.

Now that was prophetic

Yep they're still not over MT

In cases like the tweet in question, sometimes being prophetic is not always a good thing.

What’s the deal with Mushokou Tensei?

 

[Xenomorphs Are Cute]

What’s the deal with Mushokou Tensei?

It's a Normalfag filter of sorts.

It's the problem I have with these people, their tendency to sperg about the shit they hate and acting like they'd deny you a seat on their table if you dare like the thing. And whenever their bullshit gets called out by less individuals, they either ignore the issue at hand or cry harassment. I swear Mercedez, Eisenbeis, and Rebecca are the only ANN writers not like this (Theron too, but of course he quit)
