They've also greenlit a second season of B: The Beginning from Production IG. They put out a lot of 3D anime just because those studios are smaller, faster and less busy, but still have 2D stuff from the more established entities occasionally.

Dragon's Dogma Anime - First Trailer
- Thread starter Mario_Bones
- Start date

I actually think it looks good, only the monsters need some improvement on how they look, action scenes actually seemed nice
Nope, CG is a no go for me in just about any anime. It completely pulls me out of it regardless of how high quality it might be.
Thanks for the rec, though I've been aware of Moribito since it first aired in Japan. A fan of Kenji Kamiyama's work, I am not.
The budget for this, at most, would be a fraction of the advertising budget for a Dragon's Dogma 2.
I'll be watching because I must support all things Dragon's Dogma. However, the premise certainly seems trite. I would prefer a sequel but beggars can't be choosers and all that.
The character animations and backgrounds look fine/good to me but the monster CGI really stands out, and not in a good way... the textures look flat and the lighting is off, like early 2000's CGI. It almost looks like they just took the monster 3D models straight from the PS3/360 versions of the game (the dragon animations in the village almost seem identical to the game's opening) then animated around them.
I'm also not particularly invested in the tacked-on premise of "man seeks vengeance for dead wife/child" but I must have spent hundreds of hours on the game, so I'll probably at least give the first few episodes a try and hope for the best.

Director: Shin'ya Sugai
Series Composition: Kurasumi Sunayama
Studio: Sublimation Inc.
Looks like this is the first big production for the director and studio. The director and studio have another TV anime in production slated to release next year.
Some fans fixed up the trailer by adding Into Free and fixing the dragons voice.
Here's how it should have been.

Dragon's Dogma | Opening Credits | Netflix
Netflix Original Anime Series "Dragon's Dogma" opening credits sequence revealed! Musician Tadayoshi Makino composes the music for this series! After compos...
youtu.be
The opening credits design is so Game of Thrones it's kind of funny. The music is unimpeachable, though. Not as memorable as "Into Free", of course, but still solid.
My expectations have been pretty low this whole time. The dead wife setup is an atrocious cliche, the monster animations look terrible, and the whole seven deadly sins angle in the episode titles has fuck all to do with DD. Still gonna watch that shit, though, just because I need a DD2 in my life.
Watched an episode, surprised to find out the dragon is david lodge reprising the role, man thats such a different range than what I'm used to hearing.
that is to say, there are two episodes that could be "good"
This is to dragon's dogma as Godzilla 98 was to godzilla.....
Some neat concepts but its not really dragon's dogma....

About the only lore they took from DD is the Dragon taking a heart and creating an Arisen, and the Arisen getting a pawn. But they even get elements of this wrong. A few monsters from the game make it is, and during some battles stuff from the games is copied.
Everything else is absent or very very wrong. It has very unnecessary tit shots (and I'm OK with tit shots usually) and the characters have pretty much no growth or anything.
I worked on a Netflix cartoon with a CG dragon and now I'm angry at Dragon's Dogma for ruining the landscape for the rest of us. Just absolutely wretched.
Ok, so I heard vague references to egregious boob shots, so I looked up some clips to find out what that was all about. And, uh, it's worse than I thought it would be. I guess I'll use spoiler tags in case anyone is sensitive about descriptions of sexual violence or for some reason still wants to watch this show.
I'm not opposed to seeing sex or even necessarily sexual violence on screen when it feels appropriate, but I just don't know what the fuck any of this has to do with Dragon's Fucking Dogma.
And even when the scenes were trying to be "sexy" instead of just portraying sexual violence against women for no good reason, the CG animations look ridiculous. Major uncanny valley action. The "jiggle physics" is about as subtle as a DoA game, and the bodies are just completely rigid. Like the main character takes his shirt off and he looks ripped, but as soon as he starts moving around it looks like he painted on a fake set of muscles, which is of course literally the case because it's just a static texture on a 3D model, but they could have at least tried to make it look like his muscles were shifting realistic. But, you know, that's the sort of stuff you could just roll an eye at, it's nothing compared to the violent parts I spoilered in terms of distastefulness.
I dunno, this whole thing turned into a giant bummer. If this is any indication of what Capcom thinks this franchise is about, maybe we don't need DD2 after all...
One scene has goblins attempting to rape a woman. Good ol' attempted rape, you know, like there was so much of in the game? The goblins pull her top down before the hero shows up and murders them, but the framing of it is one of those classic "about to get gangbanged in a hentai" shots, there's no mistaking that the goblins were attempting to rape her.
Another scene has the Arisen about to sleep with a woman, then he suddenly realises she's a siren and starts strangling her, but the animation still shows her as a woman until right before she dies so it's basically just a scene of the hero character strangling a woman to death for like a minute?!

Watched the first episode. Probably won't come back
it's really ugly and didn't grab me storywise

Lol there is only 1 decent episode and the rest was trash tbh
Its capcom... remember how they care about Resident Evil live action movies or if you've seen the synopsis for the mon hun movie... They just care about money, not ruining their IPs with crap adaptations (but god forbid you make a fan product for no money and then they care about their IP)
I can only in good faith say the first two movies were fine/good movies, everything after was hot trash. (then again they werent my kind of movies and I probably feel like they were made for the F&F movie crowd (the later ones)
