Visual Review

Karaoke.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_02.15_[2013.10.21_21.02.52] [EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_02.39_[2013.10.21_21.03.24]

Opening. Muted karaoke fits a muted OP. Good choice, EveTaku.

Rating: Good.

Ending. Usually I’ll only label karaoke as great if a group does something out of the ordinary that makes me really think of karaoke of as an artform. But here, EveTaku merely had to match every expectation I had. The colors perfectly matched every scene and the kfx only provided value to the font and color scheme. Fantastic job.

Rating: Great.

 

 

Typesetting.

Solid, solid typesetting. Everything was done that needed to be, even the ridiculous maps.

I would hope not.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_22.09_[2013.10.21_23.28.46]

I think you mean “broken”.

 

 

Main Script.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_00.19_[2013.10.21_22.41.01]

As opposed to another wolf shooting it?

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_00.36_[2013.10.21_22.44.30]

Resistance to what? Yeah, I know Japan censored the script, but you can play along without writing like your brain’s been replaced by a tumor.

“Our bodies have a strong resistance to this environment.”

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_05.45_[2013.10.21_21.43.59] [EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_05.53_[2013.10.21_21.43.48]

Don’t. Do. This.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_12.20_[2013.10.21_21.55.01]

lol z. It’s called spellcheck, morons. Aegisub has it built in.

durr

Gotta love arbitrary capitalization standards.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_09.54_[2013.10.21_21.50.26]

Why didn’t you translate “ダテ”?

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_11.56_[2013.10.21_22.54.07] [EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_11.59_[2013.10.21_22.54.14]

Don’t, use commas, for every, pause, in a, sentence.

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_14.08_[2013.10.21_23.21.40]

I, uhh… Did you mean “heart”?

[EveTaku] Coppelion 02v2 [720p-Hi10P] [FFC73170].mkv_snapshot_17.54_[2013.10.21_23.23.32]

Most children do.

Results

Watchability: Watchable.

Visual grade: A

Script grade: C+

Overall grade: B

The visuals are this release’s saving grace, which is a shame because I expected the script to be a lot better than it was.

Up next, we’ll see how Anime-Koi and Vivid handled this show. But first…! Sleep!

    • No direct mentions of the nuclear disaster/radiation, which were present in the original. Clear implicit mentions though, like “The Coffin”.

  1. Is this series any good? I don’t have any anime in my watch list. Walking Dead and Agents of Shield on top. Any suggestions, D_S?

    • Nah. Coppelion is terrible. Pick any other show airing this season at random and you’ll get something better 95% of the time.

    • I like it. It doesn’t have the best plot or characters, but it’s pretty good and the concept itself is decent. It’s also very pretty to look at and has a great voice cast.
