High Guardian Spice - Tumblr: The CalArt Anime

View attachment 2336329

Idk if it has already been said, but this character design really irks me; she looks so out of place in the medieval fantasy setting HGS seems to have.

when you're a thirty-something-supposed-creative but only have a vague idea how 'the cool kids' dress based off numerous tumblr blogs

Look at all these tattoos, man! There's a reason character designs are relatively simple for animation, and these even change for some reason to boot! I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons this show was held back is because of this dyke and her cluttered arms.

Yeah they'd be way too obnoxious to draw for every single frame. There's a reason you don't see Cell as much in modern DB content as Freeza.

Those designs look like they were ripped, straight from the Naruto sequel, Boruto. Check out the similarities in the kama curse mark, & those tattoos:

Even the hair is similar, compared to Boruto’s “Sasuke” rip-off, Kawaki, (who also has a kama mark thing):

Pretty sure Boruto predates this High Guardian Spice bullshit, too.

This from the same company who gave us the "Boruto's dad" meme.

This show in general seems to be taking way too many inspirations from popular anime if not outright ripping them off directly. That's how lazy the character designers come off as.
 
There has been a leak of HGS ost some time ago (I just forgot to post that). The opening sounds like something that would air on 4kids imo but overall it's just meh

Doesn't really have a catchy melody or memorable lyrics. Say what you will about Nu-Ra, but the theme is at least memorable if nothing else.

That's just wrong, to be worthy of being called. "Something that would air on 4kids" The theme would have to have more Pop and bop feeling to it. Even the shows aimed at girls had more of a kick to the themesong then this.

I can get where you coming from, but this is bootleg of a bootleg of a 4kids theme. As much shit as 4kids rightfully gets, they did make themesongs real bangers.
 
When there is no more room in development hell, the undead will walk the earth.

From the announcement page for the upcoming Virtual Crunchyroll Expo :

“There's more on the way, too, like the return of the Crunchyroll Industry Panel, which will be full of sneak peeks, special surprises, and more, including news about Crunchyroll Original series High Guardian Spice.“

From the lovely Mr. Raye Rodriguez’s Twatter:

Is Raye drawing the art himself? If so, why does most of it look dogshit, but one or two actually looks like something you can show in the daylight? The bottom one with the manish girl behind the other girl looks like something you could brag about, even if its generic anime shit, then we have

Oh Jesus why.

Also, I just checked Raye's twitter and found this:

Now, we can talk about the finer details of art, but honestly I think this is a lot better than most of the shit we've been getting. So what gives? Is Raye a dirty dirty tracer, or some shit?

Yeah no, that's not 4KIDS tier of music. Maybe late-Saban, but not 4KIDS. This is like your typical generic modern Nickelodeon show theme song, like something they might've given to Winx Club when they got it from 4KIDS. That's what it's reminding me of. Here, this is the Nickelodeon version:

4KIDS' version:
