The fact that the manga was good enough to be recommended by the author of Hunter x Hunter, literally one of the greatest shonen manga of all time, and they still botched an adaptation with that good of a source material is WILD 😭😭
I'd like to remind everyone that the main antagonist in ep1 is voiced by the same guy that voiced Kiryu Kazuma from the yakuza series, my friends couldn't believe such a *masterpiece* included him in the cast
That’s the first thing I noticed. But they kind of ruined his voice by making his voice sound like a robot. He also sounds really uninspired, like the writers didn’t give him that much to work with.
I mean, paycheque's a paycheque, & they get paid the same regardless of how successful the show is. Why some producer would bother to localize this is the real question (I guess Cruncyroll either think that low of us Westerners or just give that little of a shit)
Saw the thumbnail and HAD to come in. I read the manga and was blown away. The Manga is visually impressive and would make for a great anime. When I first saw the first episode when it released I really wished this was an actual crime and people would get prosecuted for it. Crunchyroll dishonored the source material SO HARD that they should have released an apology. Not just towards the fanbase, but the mangaka themselves. Give the manga a chance and try to delete the pictures of the anime in your head. The manga deserves so much love and would really deserve a true, well animated show.
Oh c'mon. it's not that bad, it's bland, ugly and mediocre, but doesn't even come close to *bad* anime. You guys have been spoiled if you feel this is bad :)
@@EndymionThemightyMasterofMagic There's quite a few that have been drawn by amateurs with no idea of proportion or perspective. But even bad animation is tolerable if the story is good. I've seen cobbled together 'movies' that are obviously from the cutting room floor of different films. Wish I could remember the name of the worst one, but it's been like 20 years. It had characters change names and appearance and the 'plot' made no sense because it was from 2-3 different movies. They weren't even the same genre 😔. Yet it was an official release!
Ex-Arm is truly one of the animes ever made. It has characters, a plot and an OST. It was directed by a director and written by a writer. The characters were played by voice actors and the show was animated by an animation studio. If I had to rate it, I would rate it a 1 ex-armillion /10
I thought the bad guy's voice sounded familiar, and lo and behold, it's Takaya Kuroda - the same guy who is essentially Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series. He doesn't deserve to his name attached to this piece of garbage.
Fun fact: This literally aired all over national TV in Japan during March 2020; a great majority of Japanese people made fun of it. Edit: Ok why tf are people talking about their father issues in the reply thread???
"It was a crunchy roll original" is literally all you had to say, lmao. Have they had a good exclusive anime? In fairness, I guess I've only heard of 2, this one and High Guardian Spice, but damn, so far they're batting 0.
Batting 0 implies that they just couldn't hit the pitch. Crunchyroll have done the equivalent of swinging the bat, losing their grip on it, and knocking out three people in the stands
I just read the manga and Charlie's guess that the truck was some kind of time travel assassination is actually super spot-on. It's hinted in that same panel that the driver was somehow himself from the future given that he had a picture he took with his brother's gf on the dash. This is wild and I can't believe this manga wasn't done any justice lmao
@@DrakesdenChannel that CAN work, even in live action. In star wars episode 3, when the confederacy assaults kashyyyk and the wookie war chief growls and like 500 stand up behind him shouting. Yeah thats only like 8 guys in costume then digitally copied, they may have had them hold different weapons in some takes? Don't know, but its still the same 8 dudes.
About 2D-3D mixing... In aot final season ep 8, there's a brief fight between eren and Reiner. In that fight the attack Titan is 3D and the armoured Titan is 2D. The models even make contact as the attack Titan punches and breaks Reiner's jaw. Another example of good 2D-3D mixing is of course demon Slayer or anything by ufotable. The Jewels hanging off of Tengen's head are animated in 3D, and so are the Obi attached to Daki's back. Ex-arm just looks terrible because the people who worked on this have never worked on anime before. Also, Charlie needs to watch Gibiate next, another Titan of disgusting 3D animation.
Another example of 2D and 3D being blended masterfully is the Rebuild of Evangelion series. The only 3D is done on machines and some shots of the Evas, and the 3D animation itself is well done. especially on the Eva's themselves.
Not really an action anime but BEASTARS does an exceptional job of mixing 2d and 3d to the point that I didnt notice it until partway through the second episode
i mean plenty of anime mix 2D and 3D. one piece has mixing in random bits of 3D for a WHILE and its almost ALWAYS looked good. plenty of mecha anime do it too and it looks fine. even a shitty isekai with a low ass budget called skeleton knight in another world that just finished this past season, mixed so much 3D in and it actually looked solid. ex arm had no excuse for this dogshit.
RWBY's first season animation is honestly just that good it felt stiff at times and there were awkward moments but it's still nice overall 7/10 for it's time as a 3D series
The real sad thing is that the manga was actually really good and reviewed well too, but because of the flop of the adaptation and the subsequent preconceptions about the manga from anime watchers, the manga's sales tanked really bad and their sequel was canceled.
Ironically, a sad fact, the team behind animating this Anime is the same guys that animated Sekiro. But telling a bunch of Fromsoft dudes to animate an anime, is just like asking a Brain Surgeon do a Heart Surgery.
You make it sound like Fromsoft themselves were like, "we'll do it". Either way, you people make anime sound like some kind of alien form of entertainment. The dumpster fire of a show wasn't as horrendous as it was simply because they got people who work on games to do an anime. Your animating skills, 3D or otherwise, don't simply vanish *POOF* when changing projects. It's not 1-to-1, obviously, games are quite different, but such a leap in quality doesn't just happen. It's funny, because I would say that telling a *"brain surgeon to still just do brain surgery"* is closer to this situation than what you said.
@Diavolo Jaegar I wouldn't say bad history, they're just not used to animating 2d "anime" stuff, they usually animate for 3d realistic games, it's like telling an anime studio to make a hyperrealistic AAA game
@Diavolo Jaegar Someone can fact check me if I'm wrong but I believe that this is a studio that worked with the guys who made Sekiro but they only helped with things like backgrounds and such. Theyre talented no doubt with how pretty the game looks, but there was so much that was against this series from working out from the start.
The only good part about this anime is the presence of Truck-Kun. Truck-Kun really be everything sending people to the afterlife in every anime nowadays.
As someone who has watched it from start to finish, it really is an amazing train wreck. Really makes you wonder how they looked at their visuals and said to themselves "yeah this is good enough to air".
Thats really what I don't get! Crunchyroll has hundreds of anime in their catalog and they even have a "most popular anime" list to browse through when looking for something new. So they know what a good show looks like. So how then did the executives that run the platform screen this abomination, pay for marketing and then after all of that decide it was still presentable for the public? You mean to tell me not one pair of eyes out of the many it had to have crossed before airing didn't think this looked like the equivalent of plaque buildup on 3 week old unbrushed teeth?????
Everyone and their mothers knew this anime was going to be a dumpster fire when they released the trailer. Yoshikatsy Kimura, the director of the ex arm anime, said that he was going to redefine the 3D animation space. Please, a Newgrounds animator could of done better.
Literally every overwatch rule34 3D animation looks better than ex-arm. Hell, I've seen *fnaf sfm ytp videos* that look better You know you've fucked up when your animation looks more uncanny than the creepy 3d creatures in courage the cowardly dog.
1:39 holy shit I thought I was ready for how bad it was going to be but that is so much worse that what i was expecting. I can say with 200% confidence that the characters In this show sit comfortably into the uncanny valley
The character being 3D while everything else is 2D for some reason gives me the vibe of when my customized character appears in cutscenes, like, something about the way the 3D guy moves just has that distinct "Gordon Freeman during a half life 2 cutscene" vibe
I bet the mangaka of Ex-Arm goes heartbroken the anime when it got released. Ex-Arm shows you how to not use 3D correctly. I bet even the voice actor themselves probably lost their spirit voicing the character on just how astonishingly bad the animation quality really is
It's so sad and hilarious that Ex-Arms manga isn't even bad. I will always call Ex-Arm a masterpiece. Even the opening is amazing, and the fact that they "declared war against all sci-fi" is crazy.
The thing is, if you actually have the know how, combining 2D and 3D characters is very possible, Beastars did it, characters that are only on screen once or twice were drawn, cause it would be cheaper than modelling, texturing and rigging a 3D model, only for that model to never be shown again for the rest of the show. Where as characters that are shown a lot got full 3D models. But to combine the two you need to design the 3D characters in such a way that they look 2D, which isn't easy, and if you can't do it, just stick entirely to 3D or entirely to 2D, don't combine the two if you can't make the characters' appearance match across the board.
As someone who watched the whole season because of how bad it was, it was actually funny af. No. Berserk 2016 is a masterpiece compared to this garbage.

@@armouredjester1622 You're definitely right tho. An insurance company's entire business plan is to sell people on legalese that's supposed to protect them, and then find every possible legal loophole to circumvent that. Every term and definition in an insurance contract is made to be just vague enough or so complexly defined such that they are technically never in the wrong when they reject your claim. Plus, they have the monetary advantage to burn you out with court costs for any dispute. It's definitely a one-sided game. It's a shame that such a self-serving industry is basically an essential in everyday life. With that being said, did you know that 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance?
4:52 I know people joke about recoil never being done properly, but my God this is the worst of the worst. To bend at both the elbow and wrist that far, you'd need to have a complete bitch grip and/or a few severed tendons. The attempted epic slow motion is just added insult to injury
I studied animation. They most definitely have bugs. It has to do with the type of rig you have. They can pop and twist the wrong way and you do have to fix them. This is definitely a 3D issue anyway
Those were decisions made by the showrunners in order to better portray a grounded, realistic setting. You don't know anything about 3D techno-realism.
I love how they had to have her say "Hurry up and get inside me!" to the guy, during the scene where it's heavily implied they're both stark naked. You stay classy, anime.
Every time I see crappy CG, I am reminded just how much work went into Jimmy Neutron. And it always manages to look better in comparison no matter how much time has passed.
It does help that Jimmy Neutron has a distinct art style that is intentionally supposed to be kind of strange looking (since it really is a STRANGE show).
@@314rft They really knew how to work with the medium, and understood that if the characters looked too much like real people it would be super uncomfortable and uncanny valley

8:30 As soon as i heard that voice i was like is that kiryu from yakuza? And oh dear i looked it up and it is, poor Takaya Kuroda, his god of a voice should not be used for such trash.
fun fact, this "anime" flopped so hard that the manga it was based on got canceled. and literally the main profit objective of anime is to sell manga volumes.
The 3D character moves too fluidly when idle, while most of the 2D characters are as stiff as statues. It completely removes you from being able to immerse yourself into the world
Live-Action Directors can make some good works in anime if they have the right team. The director for Psycho-Pass had worked in live-action too like the EX-ARM director, but what the Psycho-Pass director had was a good team that could translate his directing techniques to animation
I think i'll re-watch some good reactions that i saw of this anime at the time. "He looks so happy in this picture" "Because he was 2D, can't you see?!" 🤣🤣🤣
I watched this from beggining to end, and what a ride. From puting a director that was specialized on live action, to having an animation crew entrely unfamiliar with the tools needed to make 3D animation, the decision to combine 2D and 3D, the atrocious editing. This is a one of a kind, no other show of such subpar quality had behind a company with such weight as crunchyroll. It was the perfect alineation.
The part where the main character looks at his arm after all those fight scenes and says "So this is what my normal arm looks like... my ex-arm" was so beautifully written. 10/10 anime
Omg he discovered x arm. This was big news in the anime community. Everyone knew it was gonna be terrible, but the studio who made it hyped it up as the GREATEST SIFI ANIME EVERY MADE. Truly a grade A fuck up by everyone involved.

I can't believe that they hired the guy that voices kiryu from the yakuza games to be the bad guy In this but because they didn't direct him he doesn't know what to do really and just kinda grunts and reads the lines
The worst part is that it doesn't even fall into the category of "it's so bad, it's good". There's no entertainment value and it's just painful to watch.
Anime plot for those who are interested: *We have a new technology that lets people control this war machine of a robot and we gave it to this highschool student who got hit by a truck 16 years ago....it would certainly not back fire* ... sadly....it didn't
I vividly remember reading a little synopsis of the plot and thinking to myself, “this seems semi-interesting” so I decided to give it a watch and holy shit I did a real un-ironic spit take when I saw the animation.

I'd like to remind everyone that the main antagonist in ep1 is voiced by the same guy that voiced Kiryu Kazuma from the yakuza series, my friends couldn't believe such a *masterpiece* included him in the cast
Guess thats where they spent all their budget.
he still did a good job at acting but holy shit it sucks that they placed a good actor in such a shitty show :(
Bruh moment
That’s the first thing I noticed.
But they kind of ruined his voice by making his voice sound like a robot.
He also sounds really uninspired, like the writers didn’t give him that much to work with.
Honestly, that's fully on brand. That's something Kiryu would get tricked into doing in a side story or something

True...
Saw the thumbnail and HAD to come in. I read the manga and was blown away. The Manga is visually impressive and would make for a great anime. When I first saw the first episode when it released I really wished this was an actual crime and people would get prosecuted for it. Crunchyroll dishonored the source material SO HARD that they should have released an apology. Not just towards the fanbase, but the mangaka themselves. Give the manga a chance and try to delete the pictures of the anime in your head. The manga deserves so much love and would really deserve a true, well animated show.
Just a quick google search shows this work had so much potential and Crunchyroll owes the mangaka an apology for the atrocity they created.

I've seen cobbled together 'movies' that are obviously from the cutting room floor of different films.
Wish I could remember the name of the worst one, but it's been like 20 years. It had characters change names and appearance and the 'plot' made no sense because it was from 2-3 different movies. They weren't even the same genre 😔. Yet it was an official release!
Ex-Arm is truly one of the animes ever made. It has characters, a plot and an OST. It was directed by a director and written by a writer. The characters were played by voice actors and the show was animated by an animation studio. If I had to rate it, I would rate it a 1 ex-armillion /10
Finally, an unbiased review
It was also given a review by a reviewer, then watched by a viewer, and criticized by a RUclipsr
I swear they spent 90% of the budget on the voice actors, because they have some pretty big names in there

About 2D-3D mixing... In aot final season ep 8, there's a brief fight between eren and Reiner. In that fight the attack Titan is 3D and the armoured Titan is 2D. The models even make contact as the attack Titan punches and breaks Reiner's jaw.
Another example of good 2D-3D mixing is of course demon Slayer or anything by ufotable. The Jewels hanging off of Tengen's head are animated in 3D, and so are the Obi attached to Daki's back.
Ex-arm just looks terrible because the people who worked on this have never worked on anime before. Also, Charlie needs to watch Gibiate next, another Titan of disgusting 3D animation.
And bang dream s2-3 has a 2D-3D mixing
Another example of 2D and 3D being blended masterfully is the Rebuild of Evangelion series. The only 3D is done on machines and some shots of the Evas, and the 3D animation itself is well done. especially on the Eva's themselves.
Not really an action anime but BEASTARS does an exceptional job of mixing 2d and 3d to the point that I didnt notice it until partway through the second episode
Karas was another good cg 2d hybrid anime
i mean plenty of anime mix 2D and 3D. one piece has mixing in random bits of 3D for a WHILE and its almost ALWAYS looked good. plenty of mecha anime do it too and it looks fine. even a shitty isekai with a low ass budget called skeleton knight in another world that just finished this past season, mixed so much 3D in and it actually looked solid. ex arm had no excuse for this dogshit.
Man this show makes rwbys first season animation look good, i didn’t even think it was possible.
And that was 8 years ago too.
@Yaboi LilDepresso made by a fairly small studio at the time that just got into 3d animation and it was web series too.
RWBY's first season animation is honestly just that good it felt stiff at times and there were awkward moments but it's still nice overall 7/10 for it's time as a 3D series
I'm pretty sure the shipyard in this is the exact same one from rwby's first season too
I was gonna say this doesn't look much different than that piece of shit show.

Ironically, a sad fact, the team behind animating this Anime is the same guys that animated Sekiro.
But telling a bunch of Fromsoft dudes to animate an anime, is just like asking a Brain Surgeon do a Heart Surgery.
You make it sound like Fromsoft themselves were like, "we'll do it". Either way, you people make anime sound like some kind of alien form of entertainment. The dumpster fire of a show wasn't as horrendous as it was simply because they got people who work on games to do an anime. Your animating skills, 3D or otherwise, don't simply vanish *POOF* when changing projects. It's not 1-to-1, obviously, games are quite different, but such a leap in quality doesn't just happen. It's funny, because I would say that telling a *"brain surgeon to still just do brain surgery"* is closer to this situation than what you said.
@Diavolo Jaegar I wouldn't say bad history, they're just not used to animating 2d "anime" stuff, they usually animate for 3d realistic games, it's like telling an anime studio to make a hyperrealistic AAA game
@Diavolo Jaegar Someone can fact check me if I'm wrong but I believe that this is a studio that worked with the guys who made Sekiro but they only helped with things like backgrounds and such. Theyre talented no doubt with how pretty the game looks, but there was so much that was against this series from working out from the start.

Thats really what I don't get! Crunchyroll has hundreds of anime in their catalog and they even have a "most popular anime" list to browse through when looking for something new. So they know what a good show looks like. So how then did the executives that run the platform screen this abomination, pay for marketing and then after all of that decide it was still presentable for the public?

"HELLO HELLO" 👋😀
Good opening indeed.
The thing is, if you actually have the know how, combining 2D and 3D characters is very possible, Beastars did it, characters that are only on screen once or twice were drawn, cause it would be cheaper than modelling, texturing and rigging a 3D model, only for that model to never be shown again for the rest of the show. Where as characters that are shown a lot got full 3D models. But to combine the two you need to design the 3D characters in such a way that they look 2D, which isn't easy, and if you can't do it, just stick entirely to 3D or entirely to 2D, don't combine the two if you can't make the characters' appearance match across the board.
It's done so well that I had no idea some of the Beastar characters were only 2D, until this comment lol

How do insurance companies turn a profit? By refusing to pay valid claims
Insurance is a scam and a racket imposed upon the people
@@armouredjester1622 You're definitely right tho. An insurance company's entire business plan is to sell people on legalese that's supposed to protect them, and then find every possible legal loophole to circumvent that. Every term and definition in an insurance contract is made to be just vague enough or so complexly defined such that they are technically never in the wrong when they reject your claim. Plus, they have the monetary advantage to burn you out with court costs for any dispute. It's definitely a one-sided game.
