Kantai Collection ~KanColle~ – Episode 1 – Fubuki’s First Battle
Production Values and Anime – Is “Let’s Fix it in the Blu-ray Release” a Bad Excuse for Lack of Quality?
Animation quality is one of the aspects of Anime that viewers tend to judge first hand when determining how good the production values are for a show. The sad fact is that animation mistakes regardless of the studio are bound to happen. Animation studios work on a very tight schedule and because of that, they might not have enough time to check every key frame before having to give the finished episode to the station to air. As a result, these errors usually get fixed later on, namely for the Blu-ray/DVD release.
To me, I think it is always in the best interest for the animation studio to make them not too noticeable and then fix it while enhancing some scenes in the final release. However, what implications will arise if studios decide to take advantage of this fact and air a half-finished product to entice people to buy the physical releases? Letâs find out.

PokÃĐmon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire – Final Review
Back in the early 2000s, Game Freak made a big leap in terms of gameplay and graphics with PokÃĐmon Ruby and Sapphire when they finally transitioned to the Gameboy Advance for the 3rd generation. These games basically laid the foundation for future generations by introducing new mechanics such as abilities, natures, an overhauled IV/EV system and double battles.
While Game Freak hinted a Ruby and Sapphire remake in PokÃĐmon X and Y last year, everyone knew that it was going to happen. Eventually, they revealed PokÃĐmon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which is a remake of the original games. These remakes add new features (including enhancements to PokÃĐmon Contests and Secret Bases) while adding more mega evolutions and an expanded post-game. Does this new remake live up to the original? Letâs find out!
