There's this streaming service called VRV that a few streaming sites kinda teamed up together to give you all their content on one site(apparently Crunchyroll created to lighten server loads or something). They have a combo pack deal where you pay like $8-10 a month and you get premium account status for these streaming services through their site/app.
I think Pierrot definitely has their moments. The final Naruto vs. Sasuke fight was way better animated than I expected at all, and surprisingly enough the Boruto anime has looked pretty consistently good since it's started airing.Lmao Pierrot fucking depresses me. I've watched some of their older work not knowing it was them until the end credits or I look the anime up, and then I go "HOLY SHIT" and get sad. For heaven's sake, it's 2017, they should've been able to fix up their art instead of looking like they're still in the early-2000s. It's like after they went digital, their animation talent regressed.
Some of Pierrot back then (haven't seen Urusei Yatsura yet, didn't know what to show off):
(Couldn't find a lot .gifs of Tenamonya Voyagers.)
(I know it's a movie but holy shit they did Lily C.A.T too???)
Kazunori Mizuno was a longtime Pierrot veteran when he died.
Reading manga at libraries is a nightmare. The one I used to frequent was almost random as to what volumes they had... I vividly remember them having the first volume of Monster and the last five. Again, not 'we currently don't have them', but 'we don't have them at all'.The only place near me that has manga is the public library, and they never have the volumes/series I want. I've been hunting for the original Attack on Titan volume 9, which they say they haven't got--not just "It's checked out," but "We don't have that," even though I saw it on the "new manga" shelf more than a month ago. They got rid of all the Monster Musume manga two weeks ago because "Oh, nobody was checking them out anymore." (I would have checked out all of them if you could find your "missing" copy of volume 5, you shits!) And despite not having any of the oldish manga I want, like Fruits Basket, they have frigging Zodiac P.I., which came out in like 2003 and sucks!
GAH! ...I'm sorry. I just had to get that off my chest.
Yeah, it's depressing how much Pierrot has fallen. Even disregarding Naruto (understandable as it's a long-runner), their animation has just spiraled downward in quality. And while I would have placed the blame on the industry itself, as you said, they've been going downhill once they hit the digital era. Not even Toei was hit that hard when they started using digital coloring.Lmao Pierrot fucking depresses me.
