![]() And to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with what they did with Cirno and Daiyousei (litt. Let’s talk about aspects 4chaners and all other internet posters never talk about because they’re too busy in bashing with all their jadedness.Īfter 7 episodes, I’m relieved to notice again how endearing their characters still remain. Alright, let’s come to that.Ĭharacterization, writing, plot and storytelling “But look, there’s no fighting scene, Dioxaz, no sakuga moment in that episode, it’s the worst!” some may be tempted to reply. Just because you see something you don’t like, that doesn’t make the episode a no brainer. ![]() At a time, we have to stop the bad faith. So this shouldn’t surprise you after 7 episodes, and what shouldn’t surprise you either after all that time is the lack of something so ubiquitous in commercial animation that some of you take a bit too much for granted (I’ll come to that at the end). I said many times they try to cater the widest possible audience. Sure we still have the stupid 9-ball and “you’re and idiot” gags but when you know Manpuku Jinja’s animated series well, you know what to expect. And, you may disagree but I think they succeeded. It’s even pretty appreciable as it may help building something around the ice fairy and give her some more developed personality. Yes, it’s obvious they chose an easy route again by focussing on a popular and cute character. Also, this might also be the opportunity to get rid of the grimace feast we saw on episode 6. The artistic approach behind this will seem obvious to a part of you reading this. This is the first time the circle uses a fighting game as a basis where most viewers were expecting another take on a danmaku one. To my surprise, Manpuku Jinja decided to go a complete different route by embracing Cirno’s story from fighting game Hisoutensoku. I really wondered what could come after that Shiki episode. Let’s forget about “silly symphony” and attempt something else However, I’ll allow myself to post some updates to this article from time to time if I ever feel the need, without touching at its original content) I’m letting it as is so any of you, including me, can read my state of mind when I attempted to review this episode a few years ago, as I still think this can make an interesting read. But that’s not a valid reason for wiping it, as most of you will be tempted to do. So, I now find this article as rubbish by now. ![]() (edit, : As usual with me, I tend to cringe whenever I see something I wrote earlier because my mind changed a bit. How does this series still cope after all those episodes? Is this one really worth? Is it better than 6? What is right and wrong with this series? That’s what I’ll be trying to answer throughout this review. I also remastered the english subtitles to have good timing with the JP Dub, and to look good with the helvetica font and with identical colors for each character in reference to future episodes, because the authors of this episode had not decided on some of the colors to use for each character in their JP subs when they first released this episode. Since each asset is uploaded individually, if the files need improvements or new files are added or to the page, it will be easy to update because there's no need to multiplex with a lossless encode.After that “silly symphony” attempt we got with previous episode with Shiki, I really wondered what they could put out next. Model, and rendered all of the the video files included in this page, and then renamed each file and multiplexed it all into a matroska for everybody's convenience. I upscaled the video to 4K in Topaz Video Enhance A.I. Dioxaz figured out that the episodes were originally produced in 1280x720, and optimized the Bluray video by reverting the bicubic upscaling from 1080p to downscale back to 720p, and applying anti-aliasing and Gradfun3 debanding, while making sure it all looked the best in RGB (the provided videos are encoded in YUV, they were converted from RGB). As for this remaster, Dioxaz took a Bilibili JP fandub by vivian8808, and synced it with the (almost completely) lossless audio from the bluray release. So, do whom do we owe the credit for making this remaster? The original episodes were produced by the japanese doujin circle Manpukujinja/満福神社公式, with OP/ED songs made by the circle known as Yuuhei Satellite. ![]()
