My Little Pony (G3) was often described in its heyday as an animesque
take on the characters, specifically their character designs. My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale retains the anime-esque elements through their expressions. Neo Yokio is an American production co-animated by Studio
DEEN and Moi Animation to boot. The style imitates anime of the early 2000s, complete with frequently off-model characters, flat coloring, and many hallmarks of the genre that have fallen out of favor like sweat drops, nosebleeds, and chibification. It also seems to reference low budget anime dubbing, with poor lip syncing and voice acting of varying quality. The New
Adventures of He-Man has some pretty clear anime influence in its Title Sequence, and some episodes actually have sweat dropping and other signature anime quirks! OK K. O. ! Let's Be Heroes: The show's creator describes its style as combining decidedly-American character/art designs and Limited Animation with the visual effects and snappier editing more common in anime, especially the older type. He dubs this mix of styles "Hanna Barbanime", citing Steven Universe (which he previously worked on) as another example, and credits Dexter's Laboratory with inventing the concept. The
opening sequence is very reminiscent of Hiroyuki Imaishi's work at Studio Gainax and Studio TRIGGER. It helps that the man himself did the storyboards.
[88] When discussing his views on having characters die in a series, writer Gen Urobuchi cited Battle Tendency's Caesar Zeppeli as a character who became "immortal" thanks to his death. [89] Reviewing Stardust Crusaders, Silverman enjoyed seeing Part 2's Joseph team up with new protagonist Jotaro and was impressed that Araki was able to keep Dio out of Part 2 completely, only to bring him back for Part 3. [90] She initially called the replacement of Hamon with Stands
both understandable and a bit of a disappointment, since the "insane physical abilities and contortions" caused by the former were a large source of the fun in the first two parts. [90] Silverman later described Stand battles as exciting and creative in subsequent reviews. [91][92] Anime News Network had both Silverman and Faye Hopper review the first volume of Part 4. Silverman called the beginning slower and not as instantly engrossing as the previous parts, but felt this allowed Josuke, whom she and Hopper both described as kinder than the previous protagonists, to develop as a character. Hopper stated that Diamond Is Unbreakable is sometimes criticized for a "lack of a strong narrative throughline" in comparison to other parts, but argued that this is one of its greatest strengths as it allows the main characters to "simply be, lending them an amiable humanity that none of the over-the-top archetypes in the first 3 Parts ever had. "[93] Both Screen Rant's Steven Blackburn and Jordan Richards of AIPT Comics called Golden Wind a breath of fresh air for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by deviating from the basic formula and following Giorno, son of villain Dio Brando, as he looks to cement a reputation and build a criminal empire. [94][95] Jenni Lada of Siliconera also praised the protagonist Giorno and said the first volume of Part 5 shows how skilled Araki is at getting people quickly invested in a character and story. She wrote, by giving readers a look at Giorno's past and insights into the person he is now, it emphasizes why he is compelling; "We're introduced to his
dream and see him take his first steps toward it. "[96] Despite calling the supporting cast a memorable bunch, Richards felt they were underdeveloped as of the first volume, but noted they had potential.
[25] On March 30, 2015, they announced that the
series would join their weekly lineup, beginning with the fourth chapter on April 6, and publishing at an accelerated rate until the chapters were current with Japan. [26][27] Plans to release the series in print were announced
during their panel at New York Comic Con on October 9, 2015. [28] Shueisha began to simulpublish the series in English on the app and website Manga Plus in February 2019. [29] Spin-offs[edit] A gag manga spin-off by Setta Kobayashi, titled Asta-kun Mahōtei e no Michi (アスタくん魔法帝への道, "Asta's Journey to Wizard King"), was serialized in Shueisha's Saikyō Jump from February 2, 2018,[30] to April 1, 2021. [31] Shueisha collected its chapters in three tankōbon volume, released from January 4, 2019,[32] to July 2, 2021. [33] On September 30, 2018, a manga based on the video game Black Clover: Quartet Knights, illustrated by Yumiya Tashiro, launched on the Shōnen Jump+ app on October 7, 2018,[34] and finished on April 12, 2020.
