Arjuna's writing is laughably ham-handed, but a nice feature on the DVDs was the ability to turn on an isolated score, so you can watch the lovely Satelight animation with the amazing Kanno soundtrack without any of the atrocious Kawamori dialogue. I mean, the show is horrible, don't get me wrong, but the soundtrack is as good as the writing is bad.

arjuna is the kind of show that has a farmer sit down and explain, in exact detail, why insecticides are bad, at length

Necronomoticon posted:i like some mecha anime, but not all. macross frontier is anime as gently caress (aaf for short) but I thoroughly enjoyed it and macross plus. knights of sidonia is pretty great and i'm looking forward to the next season on netflix. I'd say the definitive Gundam is probably Zeta, but you should really watch the original first

really everyone has a different opinion on the 'definitive' gundam so just watch whichever ones look interesting to you except victory

There's lots of contention over what's the "definitive" gundam, but there's generally not a lot of argument over what the "best" gundam is, Turn A.

I've seen folks say 08th ms team, wing, G, Unicorn, etc. Not necessarily right, of course, but it seems like everyone has their idea of what a "proper" gundam show is

Unicorn I can understand, maybe 08th MS Team. But G and Wing? There are honestly people saying that G and Wing are the definitive Gundam shows? Like, not sarcastically?

I would honestly be very interested in hearing someone argue to me how Wing is the definitive Gundam series There must be something in that line of reasoning that I have never considered, it might be a cool discussion

So tell me, as someone who knows nothing about Gundam besides having watched the first like 5 episodes of Reconguista and all of Gurren Lagann, what exactly is wrong with SEED?

I used to think Mwu was super cool and totally made up for any shortcomings the series had but in retrospect he really isn't.

To be fair, Kira doesn't go full messiah mode until Destiny, for most of SEED he's screwing up and trying to learn how to screw up less, only for things to screw themselves up a little more.

Yeah a lot of vitrol is definitely blowback from Destiny. If we never got a sequel instead of having that rep most people would just shrug and move on instead.

After being disappointed by Escaflowne I watched 2 episodes of Welcome to the NHK yesterday. It's exactly my style show, so thanks for recommending it earlier. Regarding Escaflowne... I was totally down with everything up until about episode 19ish. And then the josei side of the show just went into overdrive and IMO nothing made sense anymore. Most notably I didn't feel that there was a real reason for Van to forgive his brother, there wasn't a real reason for Folken to change sides and jesus god did they abuse the poo poo out of that magic teleporting into exactly the right place and time bullshit. I am a fan of josei material but god drat there was a significant amount of suspension of belief necessary to make it possible to swallow what the show was serving.
