But wasn't

the first Seneschal you fight Savan from the game's prologue?

Aye

and his pawn is different here, too. Maybe they wanted a more relatable name and partner for the main character, or could be they just thought Savan's design was neat enough to reuse. I dunno, I just like the idea of this acting as a direct prequel to the game.

Of course Arisen has to be a dude instead of a kickass buff woman. Also dead wife and unborn child. 🙄

Eh? 3D animators in Japan are paid better than 2D animators by a good margin, or so I've been told.
Yeah, it's a shame we can't get more female driven fantasy stories. On the off chance you haven't seen it, the writer/director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex did Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit directly afterwards, and it was great:

EDIT: It also has consistently great animation throughout, especially in the fight scenes:




Dub isn't very good though lol.

This anime style absolutely ruins it for me. It looks like a cheap YouTube fanimation, not a proper production.

I''ll check it out, but i'm not expecting much. I do wonder if the anime will go the crazy places the story went in the video game? It seems like it's loosely following the same type of progression, though the story is different.

I absolutely loved Dragon's Dogma, and wish more people play it. Not just for its gameplay, but for the utterly insane twists that get thrown in to the story that completely re-contextualize everything about the world and your role in it. After the big swerve, I was like..."Did this game pull a Xenogears???"

I'm not even sure what timeline this is. The protag looks like the Arisen from the prologue but there's also characters from the actual story in the trailer. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

I'm no fan of CG Anime but after what Dorohedoro did and how good it was, I'm willing to give them more of a chance.

I'l be bummed if it doesn't at least play homage to the endless pawn chatter.

This looks way better than Berserk did, what are ya'll bangin' on about.

It's no Hoseki no Kuni but it still looks alright.

Man. The 3D monsters look like crap. Like mid 2000s just starting to get the hang of integrating 3D with 2D level anime crap. Why not make them cell shaded like all the other characters?

Way too much CG. Makes it look cheap. They should use it sparingly or use it to complement the shot like in Dorohedoro or Beastars.

Looks horrendous. Wasn't exactly excited to begin with. This just made it an easy pass. Thanks Netflix.

If Dragon's Dogma was missing anything, it was definitely a creatively bankrupt story about a man seeking vengeance for his dead family. This looks terrrrrrible.
For real. It'd be more disappointing if the visuals looked good, but this narrative choice makes it even easier to skip.

Of course the adaptation of a game famous for its diverse character creator and notorious romance system would make its protagonist a fuckin default ass straight white guy

Hard pass eat my ass

Just why does it have to be 3d..

Not quite as bad as Berserk 2016 but going to echo the sentiment that its giving me the same vibe

Not really a big fan of 3D/CG anime but I adored the game and universe and will definitely give the show a chance.

Why are people compaing this to Berserk? It looks fine to me.

I'm not going to watch it though. DD didn't have an interesting plot and the protagonist seems incredibly generic. I think I'll just watch the last episode for the weird shit.

has any studio try to do a mix of both? like I don't think I have problem with the human body is rendered in 3d, same with monster or robots, but I kinda want the face to be 2d animated so it's more expressive. these cg anime faces at this level of animation just look really distracting.
That's basically Land of the Lustrous:

They ended up having to use a lot of drawn over expressions.

The not very good Berserk film trilogy also used a lot of 2D cuts for character acting.
