  ANN posted:In a world where humans coexist with androids called Neans, a group known as the Immortal Nine rises up against society. Tasked with disposing of the revolters, a Nean named Rouge Redstar (aka Metal Rouge) and investigator Naomi Orthmann head to Mars to track them down...but first, Rouge wants some chocolate. A Bones original to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Metallic Rouge really comes off as a sleek and stylish mecha/tech-noir mix in the numerous promos put out for it.

turns out i got the time wrong in the OP for the CR premiere whoops lol, managed to catch it on an alternate website tho & spoilering my thoughts for now ep 1 was insanely kickass as expected. god bless Bones, high hopes for this series if it keeps up with the score and fight scenes being that epic though i think a good bit hinges on how they unravel the plot and worldbuilding since ep 1 didn't explain too much at all (not a bad thing ofc, show don't tell etc, but it's gotta be paced well to make it not confusing). if it just keeps up being Blade Runner with mechsuit fights, it's gonna be one of the most badass things of all time

Definite Blade Runner vibes. I'm intrigued. I'll check out the dub later but so far this is good. Viola speedrunning the Roy Batty lifecycle and arguing that Neans are just as human as humans only to get wiped was a good way to get that particular Android/Human dichotomy out of the way quickly. EDIT: Okay, rewatched with the dub and it's also quite good. The guy voicing Hell Giallon is going wild with ham and I want to see more of him. The dub voice for Sarah/Viola was the weakest, IMO and a couple of line reads felt like they were off, but nothing actively bad. The character preview images called him Jaron Fate so maybe that's his other name when he's not going robot mode. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Jan 11, 2024 |

It's just straight black hair with straight bangs and a streak, a very normal haircut for Japanese women.

symbolic posted:A Bones original to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Oh, okay, this makes a lot of sense- I sat down to watch and was immediately hit by just how much it felt like someone gave a gently caress when making it. I love that. Think I'm going to have to rewatch that, maybe a couple of times, and take in all the little details before I can start ruminating on the plot or w/e. So "giallo" and "viola" are both Italian colour words, but "rouge" is French. Different factions of robot? Completely irrelevant?

A little confusing start with the terms and being thrown in a bit in the middle of things but that's what a three ep test is for after all. The music utterly slaps though.

Yeah I'm not sold on the first episode. It looks nice enough but it's like, all the story pieces are just kind of thrown around and I need more episodes of them putting things in actual order. Also the robots don't look that cool.

It feels pretty obvious that the second episode will take a step back to lay out what's going on, I've seen plenty of in media res first episodes like this for the sake of getting to the action

Jokerbot was the best part. When Rouge was looking through Naomi's recording glasses and freaked out when she saw Metal Rouge confronting Sara, I was at first thinking it was a quirk of her maybe having memory issues since Naomi had made a comment about Rouge malfunctioning a scene before when she kept repeating herself. After my second watch it's clear that she's surprised at seeing herself there rather than her having a memory malfunction, which gets the payoff when Giallon reveals his mimic ability. I'm betting Giallon was nearby when Metal Rouge killed the other two Neans so that he could mimic her mech form perfectly, since all the other footage of that attack was blurry and pixelated by the news broadcasters own admission.

Like, was that established in the pre-release material? Cause they definitely seem to be robot people underneath, and the transformation effect has more of a "dropping a glamour" feel than a "putting on a suit" one to me.

They're suits because it's Kamen Rider convention (or to be precise Kikaider but who's counting).

Slower ep this week, more exposition. Still great. Interested to see if the characters introduced this ep will stick around at all. Obviously the suspicious guy is going to be recurring, but I'm not sure we're done with the journalist or the doctor yet either.

This really does feel like an early to mid-2000s Bones production that happened to release in 2024. The one Nean in this episode was literally just Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist and it seems it's going for the same episodic pace as a lot of other Bones original series.

i liked this episode more than the first one (minus the aesthetic downgrade from hazy neon cyberpunk to boring desert). it has a lot of fun toying around with misleading first impressions and expectations, but we still get to see who rouge and naomi are as people. namely, how they view their relationship, how they relate to others, and (mostly rouge here) how they perceive themselves. pretty clear that identity is going to be an important through line for the show at this point, at least when they're not fighting aliens and getting tricked by vash the stampede.
