Despite this, this is still the only episode of Journeys that I'm actually looking forward to this month.I suppose another positive is that Dynamax/Gigantamax is finally getting a battle with Ash using it, coming all the way from that unofficial battle against Leon. Crazy how the last time we saw two users doing this was Goh against a random grunt, and how this is Ash’s second time of acquaintance with it in battle against a trainer…
Personally, I think the gimmick just looks clunky, with not much movement to make note of any strategies. That is to say, that’s only when both Pokemon are using it, cause the Machamp v Lucario was alright. So, yay.
My lack of posts recently just shows I literally have nothing to say about this show anymore. It’s either been said a million times, or the show keeps repeating silly things over and over. This rushed aspect, Gengar’s development, and Marnie’s, I’m generally not surprised by.

Welcome to television.Yajima...
Screw it, I can’t favor any director anymore after the Kalos league. The directors are puppets to the higher ups who don’t care about the show and just want to make money.

Honestly? I’d rather he lose here and get a rematch that’s a real battle than them giving us a rushed Hyper Class battle in which we’re bound to have lost around half the episode’s runtime on Team Yell sending Ash to the wrong location.I fear Ash is gonna lose.
You think they might tie instead?Honestly? I’d rather he lose here and get a rematch that’s a real battle than them giving us a rushed Hyper Class battle in which we’re bound to have lost around half the episode’s runtime on Team Yell sending Ash to the wrong location.
That would certainly be a rare kind of result. Certainly more preferable to a rushed win or a loss.You think they might tie instead?
Sure, Tomioka as a writer is great and all, but...This is a good sign.

Is there really anyone out of the JN animation directors who'd be better suited for this episode? Reminder than Iwane just worked on 6 consecutive episodes (5 of them being solo KA'd), so there was no chance he was going to be working on this one. I mean, Yamazaki's episodes haven't been terrible compared to the usual output of this series (22, 30, 45, 90 stand out), and Niioka's have been fine as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we got Oshida on this. Even if it turns out to be mediocre visually, I'm sure it will look better than most of Journeys anyways....those two are a bad sign. I checked what they've produced previously and they've only ever done stuff that's looked average at best. So I guess we can forget this battle being visually impressive, unless Maenami or some other freelancer makes a surprise appearance. This will probably go down the same path as the Rinto fight where animation prevents the battle from being enjoyable. And then there's the fact it's a one parter so it has the rushing-issue looming over it too. Hope I'm wrong about all this though.
Piers Master 8 baby!Apparently Marnie’s rank 29th. Do with that info what you will.
