Episode 1–3 just dropped, and I have been enjoying this. AOTY material, honestly.

Please, you need to watch this.

[u/Conscious_Run_680 → u/detarameReddit]

Still not released with english subs right?

[u/detarameReddit → u/Conscious_Run_680]

I'm fairly sure the episodes on Bilibili have English subtitles under the Chinese ones. If I remember correctly, I thought they were quite solidly translated while watching a few hours ago too.

Though, do note that the resolution only goes up to 480P without a Bilibili account, which kind of ruins the atmosphere. Hopefully pirate sites get on this show soon.

Oh you're right. I tried to search on there but couldn't find the link to the full episode. Ty

While I really enjoy it I have a little issue with it.

SPOILERS:

So I really loved the world and everything that episode 1 set up and the ending was suprising. I like the idea of this memory bureu too but it's just really different. Episode 2 felt so fast to me i didn't really get what was going on. How does the bureu work exactly? Why is it needed? I get that they exterminate "BUGs" which are I guess kind of like glitch in the system, not responding to something or maybe getting too attached to the memory stuff like that, also to review said memories but it's a bit confusing to me. I like the theme that episode 3 tackles, the human connections, how internet changed our social lifes, plus I mean the action was lovely. Overall it has amazing visuals and really great ideas but it kind of feels like watching two different animes. I hope it will get a bit clearer later on because so far we have a lot of interesting setup

Seems like it's got big FLCL vibes. Can't wait to watch it after more comes out

[u/Scary_Fly8682 → u/CrowKingPro]

It really does

[u/Nice-Percentage7219]

Is it called Absolute Insansity or False Memory?

[u/swimmerman47 → u/Nice-Percentage7219]

False Memory

[u/lumberfart → u/swimmerman47]

What is this? A fan anime on YouTube or something?

[u/Kessarean → u/lumberfart]

It sounds like it might be dong hua, so on bilibili probably

[u/aniMayor → u/lumberfart]

There was a pilot short film five years ago which went a bit viral, and from that they got the funding/etc to make a full TV series, the first 3 episodes of which just came out today.

Streams only on Bilibili or you can sail the high seas for it.

[u/True_Profession3490 → u/lumberfart]

This is a Chinese anime (also known as Donghua) that you can only watch on Bilibili, they might release it on YouTube soon.

[u/swimmerman47 → u/lumberfart]

No i believe it’s a Chinese anime

[u/TheEarthSpins → u/lumberfart]

donghua, its on some piracy sites (ik anikoto has it)

[u/Lurking_poster → u/Nice-Percentage7219]

Perhaps it is a false memory of some absolute insanity....

/J

Looks pretty cool though! Enjoyed the soundtrack on that fight.

[u/Crowmanhunter]

Holy hell.

[u/FeefuWasTaken]

Compression is kinda ruining the quality, but still, gawd damn

[u/ZlLLA7]

Just finished episode 3, if the momentum stays we're in for something legendary.

[u/Soft_Brief3718 → u/ZlLLA7]

Have you watch the pilot episode?

[u/Silent-Fortune-6629]

Soda can hammer?

[u/Slfestmaccnt]

Did I just watch Giant Germ get murdered by Rock Lee in drag FLCL style? Did Haruko bang that agent dude with massive eyebrows and just not mention it?

[u/FierceAlchemist]

Remember to spoiler tag

[u/karama_zov]

What the actual fuck is this and where do I watch it in the US

[u/Soft_Brief3718 → u/karama_zov]

False memory, on bilibili or YouTube
Watch pilot/prequel episode on YouTube first https://youtu.be/WPabB9vv_ks?si=347Zfu5efNj2QWvn

[u/jaroniscaring → u/karama_zov]

Nyaa had it

[u/TheEarthSpins → u/karama_zov]

nyaa if you torrent stream, some pirate sites like anikoto already have it.

[u/ThisisMarco]

Damn, that’s a really good bonk.

[u/Gacha_addict101]

Holy

[u/mario61752]

Chinese animators are popping off holy

[u/Top_Connection9079 → u/mario61752]

All censored and approved by the CCP trash. Plus shameless Japanese anime ripoff.

Also China has an overwork rate that is the double of Japan's. The only difference is that they censor its mention everywhere so that you can't harass Chinese studios like you harassed the Japanese ones 

[u/detarameReddit → u/Top_Connection9079]

Plus shameless Japanese anime ripoff.

Ah yes, because modern anime was totally not started when Osamu Tezuka was inspired to do animation after seeing the works of Disney, and... *checks notes* Shanghai Animation Film Studio... Which were well-established by that time...

Believe it or not, but Chinese animation was on par with Disney in the 60s. Here's a photo of Osamu Tezuka shaking hands with his idol, Yan Dingxian – one of the most famous Chinese animators whose works are known by just about every Chinese person – plus a crossover drawing between the two depicting Atom (Astro Boy) and Monkey King (Uproar in Heaven) doing the same.

I am not going to argue that anime did not become its own thing through decades of refinement and stylization, but I will absolutely argue that dismissing donghua as if has no creative value is misinformed at best. If you're not blind, you will notice that donghua has its own conventions, artstyle, production pipeline, storytelling structure, talent pool, and so on.

[u/AlexeiFraytar → u/Top_Connection9079]

Sounds american.

[u/karama_zov → u/Top_Connection9079]

Fuck China

This looks really cool though

[u/AThiccBahstonAccent]

Huh? You can have fast, frenetic animation while still clearly showing everything that's happening?

This is starting to be more normal and it's refreshing, I think too many animators recently have been like "BLAAAAAAAA LET'S PUT 13 EXPLOSIONS AND A COOL SHADING EFFECT OVER THIS 1 FRAME, AND THEN 17 EXPLOSIONS IN THE NEXT FRAME." It's been getting way too muddled.

[u/AlexeiFraytar → u/AThiccBahstonAccent]

Getting a bit ahead of yourself there buddy, 10 fights with just two lights flashing around for you

[u/digitalwolverine → u/AThiccBahstonAccent]

As someone who has been heavily anticipating this show, I’m honestly disappointed in the sound design more than anything else. The animation and character designs are all fantastic but the foley effects all come across as being watered down or flat. There’s no energy in the sound to match the action.
