[Transformers] I watched anime for the first time in 20 years, and I thought the animation was kind of lacking.

Otaku Review Image

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:07+

Also, the Magna Jet Convoy was treated as pretty irrelevant and it was disappointing.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:08Yeahx14

I watched anime for the first time in 20 years, but I thought the animation wasn’t that great.It’s still getting better, yeah.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:07

The engine starts after the double face appears.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:08

It’s great, isn’t it? High-speed transportation type Magna Jet Convoy.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:10

Ultra Magnus is too much air…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:10

It is the ultimate form that combines flying ability and artillery capability, but?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:11

In the first place, Convoy doesn’t come out that much.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:14

I wonder if Jetfire and Ultra Magnus will get a remake too.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:17

>>7I was shocked when Ratchet showed up because I thought Shockwave would come right away.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:14

Throwing my own parts is nice, isn’t it…?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:16

Ultra Magnus is fundamentally different because it’s based on Micron rather than being treated as an enhancement part.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:21

>>9I mean, this version of Ultra Magnus is fundamentally reliant on Microns… it’s kind of unusual.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:20

I wonder if they could release Jetfire, Ultra Magnus, and Convoy in final battle colors (without containers) as Titan-class figures…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:22Yeahx2

I don’t remember Ultra Magnus being active on his own in the anime…
I feel like there hasn’t been any description beyond just calling and having the combination parts come.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:24

>>13Because Takara’s requests kept changing back and forth, it’s a monster that couldn’t make it in time for the anime appearance…
It is said that other than the shoulder cannon mode, that cameo appearance was the limit.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:23

Ultra Magnus only appears properly in the eye catch once at the end.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:24Yeahx2

When Optimus Prime throws away the Matrix and Starscream’s null ray cannon disappearing into space.
My favorite scenes are mostly towards the end.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:29

>>16Billy was just stunned to hear the news of Stask’s death, while Jim, who was fond of him, cried out in distress…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:26

Did Ultra Magnus’s Micron form appear in the show?
I feel like I found out later that Magnus is a reinforcement part for Micron.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:27Yeahx3

Before scanning, it’s rare, but it’s pretty cool, isn’t it?
Before scanning, it's rare, but it's pretty cool, isn't it?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:28

>>18I really love this alternative interpretation of the first generation.
I want it to be commercialized.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:27Yeahx2

The animation was really terrible.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:28

I was really excited when I first heard about the figure king back then because I liked the Micromasters.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:28

There are rumors that Micron will be included in the AOTP Ratchet’s super mode, but it’s been tough lately since Micron hasn’t been remade much.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:31

It’s nice that the animation in TF is relaxed, but… well, it’s not good.
Sometimes the character designs for humans become a bit loose.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:31Yeahx3

The impression of the bank with hands coming out from the legs during super mode is strong.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:31

Before Convoy’s death, the mask being pressed by Megatron’s finger is incredibly well-drawn.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:33

However, I’m glad that the thread image has produced a truly remarkable remake for the general public.
Why aren’t your eyes red?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:37

>>27Well, it’s fairly easy to take apart…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:33

When I was a child, I liked full combinations and super modes, but as an adult, I find that I often prefer just the main body, and it gives me a high level of satisfaction.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:34Yeahx2

The face of Convoy becomes wobbly with every cut.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:34

Cybertron isn’t very strong, is it?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:35

I really like having a gritty battle in the final one-on-one.
I also like it when it suddenly changes color.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:37

>>31It’s scary how Megatron, who is skilled in stick fighting and using a hidden knife, contrasts with Optimus Prime, who does things like the sabaki break.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:36

I liked the gimmick of the toy Megatron’s knife, but since I lived in an area where the anime didn’t air, I later found out that it was a secret move used only once in the final episode.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:39

The convoy didn’t come to see off the last child, which makes me think that it must have burned out to the point of not being able to meet anyone…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:40

I didn’t really understand the part about Micron and the kids meeting in the distant past.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:46Yeahx2

>>39It feels like I somehow recovered from having them say “I’ve been waiting” in the first episode without considering where the story would land.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:42

At first, I didn’t really like the human character’s design because it was too uninspired, but by the end, I had grown quite fond of it due to the relationship with Stasuku.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:43Yeahx4

The character design is at a level of murderous detail that shouldn’t be done in animation.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:50

>>42So in Super Link, it became basically CG…

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:26

>>49The final battles and the use of cel animation may have been difficult for the CGI of that time to capture dynamic movements, after all.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:06

>>42But when the animation is good, Alexa looks like a beautiful girl… so it’s easy to understand!

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:44

I have a memory of a story where a hot rod helps the children of Earth while hiding its true identity.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:45

“Dad’s face might turn into something indescribable.”

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:47

It seems that Ratchet will be released this year and Double Face will come out next year, but I also want heavyweights like Ironhide and Sandstorm to be released soon.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:49

A ridiculously handsome guy appears in Tottsan’s redeco.
Who…?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:50

>>47A mad scientist who disassembled a live-action Arcee into three parts.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:50

I wonder how much of the original gimmick can be preserved in the remake of Double Face.
It seems like a Voyager-class.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:52

>>51Since the Headmaster can be made quite small, it seems like the only difficult part might be the chest panel.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:55

>>52It will probably end up being something like rotating it…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:53

Later on, I realized that Jim had a better character than I expected.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:56Yeahx1

It’s interesting that the insignia changes at the position where the Bright Shadow’s hand pierces in the original version, but there’s too much waste.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:57

>>55So that’s the structure of it…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:56

The concept of Double Face is quite different from my own, but I wonder if it was suggesting something similar to G2 in addition to Unicron, as it was labeled as the same transformer.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:58

Please release Rampage that came out overseas as soon as possible in Japan!

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:58

Link up!
Jet Combo Transform!
I really love when they combine!

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)18:58

Ultra Magnus really pops out smoothly, doesn’t he?
I thought I missed a few episodes because I couldn’t touch the large enhancement parts at all.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:01

The raw face of the double face has lips that look quite like a unicorn.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:05Yeahx4

I'm glad to hear the prophecy of the remake now, even though I made it during the peak of Titan Mast...
I’m glad to hear the prophecy of the remake now, even though I made it during the peak of Titan Master.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:14

>>62Let’s stick it to the crowdfunding unicorn along with the head of the squid dragonfly.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:07

When I was a kid, I played a lot with Double Face, but I have a memory that the arms were easily breakable.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:07

The current headmaster has a problem that prevents us from doing Inugami Family.
Also, fusion with the mirror.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:08

I feel like the main character boy was saying unusually intense lines in the next episode preview.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:09Yeahx1

Legacy Task S heard the cries of the locals loud and clear.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:10

Why does the Hot Rod S have a jolt?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:12

>>68Since we are reusing the mold, we will allocate the saved costs to accessories.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:12

Shockwaves are often characterized as “shock shock,” but I wonder where that comes from.
In the first place, there haven’t really been many shockwaves before this.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:13

>>70Go One

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:14

>>70Shockwave (Laser Wave) usually talks normally, but…
Shockwave (Shockwave) says shock shock.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:14Yeahx2

The animation is exceptionally loose.
But sometimes there are original drawings that are so sharp that they overwrite my memory.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:15Yeahx1

The final moments of Stask and memorable scenes have good animation, but about 80% of it has not only poor animation but also quite a lot of bad movement.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:15Yeahx3

Wait, the animation in Beast Wars wasn’t that great either!

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:15

>>76It’s strange how there are times when the animation is good given the level of the hard schedule over there…

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:16Yeahx6

>>76I feel like Neo is quite stable when watching the stream.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:15Yeahx1

In the first place, it’s not an anime aimed at those who are particular about animation quality…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:16Yeahx1

The last six episodes had good animation, but overall it was a total mess…
It has improved since the overseas broadcast, but…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:17

Even if I see the news about the release of armada〇〇, I don’t know who these guys are!!

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:17

The second season was supposed to be decided in December and aired in April.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:18Yeahx2

>>82Crazy.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:24

>>83What’s even more ridiculous is that it sold quite well…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:29

>>94Since it sold well, we will do the anime even if it means pushing ourselves!
Sold!
The metal is slow, so I’ll do more anime!

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:30

>>94Scuba is cool, you know…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:20

>>82It’s weird that Takekami-san is saying there were even more outrageous works…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:18Yeahx3

I was really surprised when the setting illustrations appeared in the next episode preview.
Overall, even though it’s flying low, I’m surprised it didn’t end up with a critical injury like a coconut crab.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:18Yeahx2

The anime watched while eating dinner at 6 PM on Fridays was more about getting caught up in the weekly stories than the quality of the animation.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:19

To celebrate the distribution, the staff is showing various materials from that time, but just seeing the dates is enough to get scary as more keep coming out.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:20

Since there is no time to prepare the setting materials, I am using a life hack to place an image of the Valkyrie from Macross 7 in the section for Destron aerial forces.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:20

The animation is good in some episodes, though.
A story that looks into the inner workings of Destron from a double-faced perspective.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:20

(The Macross mecha depicted in the setting artwork as BB)

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:22

The theory that when Unicron appears, it generally excites the release of Uniclone’s spawn.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:22

There’s only one shot of Ultra Magnus in robot mode.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:24Yeahx1

I feel that Super Link was generally really good when TF used animation instead of CG.
The Ultimate Destruction Emperor Galvatron and the Last Moments of Ironhide.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/13(Fri)19:25

>>95I feel like the character design of the human was unusually cute.
