I kinda really want to watch the villinit donghua but at the same time I don't want to keep my expectations too high....rn I'm leaning towards watching it so: do you know where I can watch it?

go into it just to have fun! enjoy what you can with it, its a fairly enjoyable experience imo i just have 47394630117301 thoughts abiut Everything so of course some of those won't be positive or will be critiques fhsjdsk watch it to form your own thoughts on it! have fun w it!

you can watch english subs of villinit on pretty much any site that unofficially streams anime lol

kinda sad that they're not keeping the donghua as fun and silly as the comic u_u but oh well at least the actual beats of the story are flowing smoothly

[bidokja]

oh they made the hospital fight SUPER different

my favourite part of a time loop-- and this is so integral to the trope and it must be done and it fills me with joy every single time-- is when the character stuck in a time loop tries to explain it and nobody believes them and they point to some ridiculous arbitrary happening in the background and is like "wanna bet? those guys carrying that clear glass sheet are going to have a dog run into the pane in 3...2..."

ohh fuck villinit donghua.... gotta see that :0 how is it so far

i'm really enjoying it so far! they're making slight edits to events but thats typical for adaptions and its nothing game changing so far, i agree with like 95% of the edits being made, they've shown some really interesting character choices as a result and haven't changed the intent or direction of the story at all (if anything, the edits have clarified and refined things so a++ in that department)

the 3d animation is...okay. could be better could be worse. they're falling into the typical trap of 3D animation which is making every movement too smooth (and as a consequence, slow). and there's some really noticeable stiff/un-lifelike moments bc of that. but theres also some moments where it really shines through (you can tell they put extra effort into expressions in some scenes, for example) and the cinematography has been very nice so far!

voice acting is also pretty good! main problem has been that sometimes the animation doesnt rise to meet the voice acting

all in all its got an 8/10 from me so far (and i am PICKY with things i like ajshfgk) and the 2 points lost are mainly animation issues which will hopefully improve as we see the series hit its groove, and like two or three edits/cuts that im bitter about on a personal level

the one edit i really don't agree with for the villinit donghua adaption is they got rid of those very first few panels where he crushes the butterfly like. that is such a vital character establishing moment for me personally. AND part of recurring symbolism with butterflies for ling chen. should've kept that in there was no reason no to!! wouldnt have taken long and they couldve used the butterfluly instead of those drones to show off the city and introduce ling chen smh

all of you look at me rn. i am being so serious. PLEASE yell with me about villinit. please please please please please pleas eplea splea s e--

[bidokja]

i still wish it was more stylized 3D animation but my bar for that is EXCEPTIONALLY high (spiderverse. bigtop burger. jjba kamikaze douga openings. etc.) so i can't blame villinit for not meeting that bar in particular asdghfk
