Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (TV)

[shinta|hikari]

That's the word I was looking for while watching this episode: lazy.

Kabaneri has been getting weaker each week. This was on the level of the usual shounen crap I drop nowadays.

I'm fine with Mumei going all emo and stuff. The backstory was there. The problem was the execution. It felt needlessly exaggerated and forced.

Speaking of exaggerated, Ikoma's constant shouting is grating on my ears now. I could understand his strangely hyper voice when he was being oppressed, but he doesn't have to use that tone every single scene.

To top all the laziness off, check this out:


How hard is it to add a line or two of skin creasing detail or another layer of shading? Waki NEEDS detail. Otherwise, it's just blank space. Meaningless. Mumei's character design and constant combat scenes should make her God's gift to waki-lovers, but we get this lazy flesh-colored emptiness instead. It's like a vagina without a hole.

I'm not asking for much. See comparison from one of the trashiest shows around below:



Here is an even better comparison because of the similar pose and action:


Take note how the part between the breast and the arm has a (very sexy) crevasse, shown by adding two measly lines and a bit of shading. That's not some random art style thing, either. It's physically there IRL. An armpit has to have a pit. Otherwise, it's just an arm.



Yeah, I'm just finding excuses to litter this forum with waki gifs now. Any complaints?
