Blade Runner: Black Lotus Anime Debuts to Mixed Reviews
Surprise or...?
prevnextBlade Runner: Black Lotus is good, actually
A little bit awkward like a lot of CG anime is but the vibes are there, solid direction, good visuals, ambient synth music, and I’m invested in a replicant main character who is NOT hunting other replicants from the start pic.twitter.com/WKOkYuVxhd

Oh No, Oh No
prevnextThe rest of the models in Blade Runner Black Lotus don't look much better. You'd think for main characters, they would try to make them look nicer
Nope
They're just too smooth with no defined textures & bright lights make them way worse pic.twitter.com/1oxRS3Fg7n

How Is It Going?
prevnextI'm gonna watch it because I'm a sucker for the universe but I don't think BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS is for me. Maybe I'll change my tune as it goes on

The Good and the Bad
prevnextBlade Runner Black Lotus is really boring. Just feels like a slideshow of concept art at times
Don't get me wrong though, backgrounds look nice but the models + animation look horrible pic.twitter.com/o1UWvhBl2m

Fingers Crossed
prevnextBlade runner black lotus is a real improvement from ghost in the shell 2020. The character's expression are better and the visual atmosphere is its the selling point. The fight choregraphy is also good. Excited to see what next. pic.twitter.com/KbQ6AwZdf9

Start Player 1
prevnextWatching S1E2, watched E1 already, 'Blade Runner: Black Lotus'. It tries to give the look and feel of "Blade Runner", but fails. This has the look and feel of a video-game.

A Sweet Start
prevnextBlade Runner: Black Lotus is excellent so far. The visuals are insane, and I'm digging the tone and pacing. I was getting some serious Samurai Jack Vibes in the first episode, with the limitted dialogue and detailed fight sequences.

Good to Go
prevFirst couple episodes of Blade Runner: Black Lotus were solid. Like the comics (which are also pretty good so far), I don't think the show will stick with me as much as the movies do, but hey, it's good stuff.
