The Last Airbender (2024) Netflix.
The HDR effects are really good, they work really well with the elemental powers universe.
It's WAYYYYyyy better than the god awful Wheel of Time.
the acting is not really anything special, but i think they did most of the elemental combat very well and it doesnt look too cheesy. i also really like how they handled the themes of war and generational trauma and all that in a way that some audiences can relate to. i really like how its not too watered down for child audiences too, still plenty of death last episode where the fire nation sieges Agna Qel'a shows quite a few civilians getting rekt and blood and they don't hesitate too much to show the effects of someone with fire powers fighting another human with... flammable skin and flesh
Looks well animated.
It's crazy how in this day and age, nyaa releases still come out at wrong frame rates, it means people are recording incorrectly. 3 different releases 29.970, 25, 23.976 fps. 23.976 is the correct one. The 25fps is sped up, and the 29.970 one has judder. Not to be nitpicky, but, we've been at this for well over 20 years now. Frame pacing is really important for anime because it has flat fixed-rate smooth panning shots
SasukeDuck release is correct fps.
I think it's actually just that the sources are awful.
Went to check what my media server has been grabbing since I added the show a couple weeks ago because your comment made me curious...
From the Vodes release desc:
It is pretty funny how bad the legal watching experience for this is.
You get:
HMAX (EU): 25 fps sped up, decent video otherwise, dubtitles
HMAX (US): 30 fps duped, deinterlaced (??), awful video overall, dubtitles
MAX: Hidive Tier mini encode, worst audio of the bunch, “aight” subs
Adultswim (for some countries?): Hardsubs
Looks like some groups are correcting the frame rate.
