how are you finding the witch hat atelier anime?

really loving it so far. the pacing feels great, the voice acting really suits the characters, and i’m genuinely obsessed with the coloring. i think the anime does justice to the manga’s gorgeous visuals (even if i’ll probably always have a soft spot for the manga itself), and i especially adore the little storybook-style animation sequences they integrated into some scenes. it fits the atmosphere and feeling of the world so well. i’ve already managed to drag several of my anime-only friends into this universe thanks to it.

curious to know what everyone else thinks so far 👀

Anime Director Daisuke Hiramaki on Meeting the Challenge of the Original Work

Adapting a well-loved story is never simple, and director Daisuke Hiramaki seems fully aware of that. When an anime already has a strong identity in its original form, the challenge isn’t just about recreating it—it’s about translating it in a way that still feels authentic.

From what’s been shared, Hiramaki’s approach leans more toward respect than reinvention. Instead of dramatically changing the tone or direction, the focus is on understanding what made the original work resonate in the first place. That means paying attention to pacing, character nuance, and the small details that fans tend to notice the most.

At the same time, an adaptation can’t just be a copy. Animation brings its own strengths—timing, movement, voice acting, and atmosphere—and using those well is part of the process. It’s about finding that balance where the anime stands on its own while still feeling true to the source.

There’s also the pressure factor. Expectations are usually high, especially when the fanbase is already invested. Meeting those expectations isn’t just about accuracy—it’s about delivering something that feels worthwhile in a different medium.

What makes this interesting is that it’s less about big creative risks and more about careful decisions. Every choice, from scene composition to how emotions are conveyed, plays a role in whether the adaptation connects.

Final thoughts: Hiramaki’s perspective highlights something that often gets overlooked—the difficulty of doing justice to something people already care about. When it works, it’s usually because of restraint as much as creativity.

(Movie Review) Alita: Battle Angel

https://letterboxd.com/do_om/* * * 1/2

Sometimes its the little victories that make or break a film for me. For anime fans, those little victories from Hollywood adaptations are so few and far between that anytime we get a half decent/ not COMPLETELY FUCKING bonkers shit movie, its a victory we are more than willing to take.

I never read “Gunm" the manga but the anime film adaptation was a definitive classic alongside Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Guyver and Neon Genesis Evangelion for any teen who grew up in late 90’s Australia.

Like it or lump it, Alita: Battle Angel is the most faithful translation of anime into a Hollywood film that I have ever seen and I’ve seen every horrifying misshapen mongrel offsrping that the Hollywood/ anime pairing has made over the years (ewgh, I just remembered Dragonball Evolution and threw up in my mouth a little bit).

Video games and anime seem to constantly bear the brunt of the film adaptations being so horrible that the fans scream frantically in frustration of not being able to be openly admit their love of a series without being ridiculed thanks to the one release of a film that everyone hears about and is now the first thing everyone thinks you’re referring to when you talk about it.

Normally I’m sayin “if you’re not gonna do something different with the story/ setting, why adapt it at all, just watch the original” but considering the track record, I just want to see if it can be done without completely fucking it in attempts to make it more “understandable” for foreign audiences.

And, hey, SUCCESS! They didn’t really drastically change anything. They swapped out Ido’s dead cat for a dead daughter, giving him and Chiran a fuller backstory which allowed the parent issue subplot with Anita a tad more potent (in the anime, Ido, simply allows her to become a Hunter and even goes to introduce her to the other members at the bar). Yugo’s fate is pretty much 1:1 except in the anime when he climbs the pipeway up, its pretty much as if his mind is snapped and his desperation has made him kinda loony, which I think makes the scene all the more fucked up. Here in this adaptation it kinda loses a bit of steam. Then lastly, in the anime, after Yugo’s death, Alita and Ido send up a balloon into the sky with some of Yugo’s robotic remains and the tone is melancholic and whistful. In this film they opt for a more optimistic/ hero’s end with Alita having become the ultimate gladiator and standing in open rebellion to the arch enemy, Nova.

On the subject of what they changed/ what they didn’t, the fact that this movie remains so visceral with some truly disturbing imagery at a fucking PG-13 rating is an amazing achievement in itself. I watched the anime as a teen in an era where the only anime you got was incredibly cutesie/ kidsafe or incredibly violent and disturbing. If anyone was upset about the offscreen death of the dog in this film, in the original that death is very much on screen and packed with blood and intestines. Very few PG films manage to retain a sense of horror on screen whilst still being acceptable for younger audiences. Good job.

WETA has made another amazing milestone achievement in CGI with blending its mo-cap, vfx to intereact seamlessly with its real life cast, set and props. Their goal of sticking Alita’s anime facial features in a real setting could have been a real fucking eyesore to look at but it very quickly just fits. The VFX in general was very on point aside from the Motorball sequence getting a tad “Transformers” in its hectic nature. I really wished I saw this in 3D, some incredibly badass visuals which made good use of depth in its cinematography thanks to Bill Pope ASC (The Matrix, Speedracer).

Ok, so I’m all for the faithful adaptation and the incredible vfx, how’s the story hold up? Well, honestly, the original did not have the greatest plot ever and so this film kinda follows suit. There’s a lot of cliche’ dystopian broken dreams, empowerment, revenge with the love story in there but ultimately was never the real big draw of this franchise in my opinion.

On the whole, the story is not going to blow anyones socks off but there are some plotlines/ moments that have stuck with me since seein the original and I don’t think films have to have a story that is only superb as a whole otherwise it gets junked. There are some elements of the story that completely worth salvaging.
