did you ever watch majestic prince? it was from the same season as valvrave and gargantia, both of which had a lot of hype but ended up disappointing. mjp was the low budget dark horse mecha show, but it ended up being much better than the other two.

as for kuromukuro, i don't think a third season was ever planned. the japanese school life was a pretty big part of the premise, plus any third season would have ditched the majority of the cast.

MJP was my favorite of the three, but it never quite got the hype it deserved since one ended up as a train wreck that entrapped any who even glimpsed at it and the other was a ball of potential that didn't seem to pay off enough. MJP was a pretty standard mecha series overall, even if it had a few episodes that riffed on certain conventions like an entire episode setting up and waving the biggest death flags for the B team

Wait, how are these related?

Also I ended up deciding to finally finish Iron Blood Orphans, which will hopefully satisfy the mecha space battles that Kuromukuro wont have because it wont exist. Man, they could have done so much with it...
Sorry, I brain-farted. :negative:

I liked Gargantia. It was a lot more heartfelt than some other mecha shows I've seen in recent years.
Also, holy poo poo I never put 2 & 2 together regarding these recent Code Geass followers. Aldnoah, Valvrave, AND Gargantia all had a white hair from the space power as an adversary, at least initially

Gargantia doesn't really work for me thematically. There's a weird doublethink going on where the Earthlings are simultaneously noble savages and a modern capitalist society.

Also, maybe this is a minor thing, but the way the male characters wear so much more clothing than the female ones weirds me out.

The episode where the guy gets chased by ugly trans people for the whole thing was a million times worse than anything else in the show.

That's probably because the character designer was a hentai artist.

I really hope Imaishi goes back to writing full shows instead of just the scenario and intro/final episodes, like he did with Gargantia and AldNoah.

Three mecha series premiered that season. Only one didn't end up as a train wreck or otherwise problematic

There's not really anything wrong with that given the industry. Shokugeki no Souma's artist also used to do hentai manga and it's pretty much on par with other series in Jump

Gonna let y'all in on a little secret, every artist has done porn. All of 'em. If you think one hasn't you simply don't understand what they get off on. That guy who draws nothing but cars? Wanks to cars. Buildings? Wants the Space Needle up his butt.

studio geno, who were set up to make the genocidal organ movie has decided they want to get into the anime tv game. for this they have announced 3 shows. the first is that the earlier announced golden kamui is by them.

the second is

“In order to save her brother and nephew who have been kidnapped by a mysterious religious group known as the Genuine Love Society, Juri and her family cast a spell using a stone hidden by her grandfather to enter the world of stopped time known as Stasis. However, when they infiltrate the kidnapper’s base, they’re met by other people who can also move about freely. With grotesque creatures lurking about, will they be able to escape the parallel world and return to their normal lives?!”

the third is

Roughly 10 years in the making. This is a story about the pure hearts with mutual feelings in a destitute society. Even though they were supposed to be able to go anywhere. Takahiro Ōmori examines humankind's way of life


well who knows what the gently caress that means

The imouto show feels like the weirdest crossing between Eromanga-sensei and Golden Time. But it's not very good.

Yes, that was the big thing they advertised. It was a partnership between Urobochi and the people who make Pili.

It's odd for a show with "imouto" in the title to not actually talk about them after the first ~90 seconds and then just focus on people who are all out of high school. Better, but odd.

the characters are all awful archetypes for 90% of a given episode, and idk if the 10% they spend without those facades will ever make watching the show worthwhile

Aside from those light tentacle things and some of the cg, the pv for the other show dav posted looked cool, and who knows, a new studio can be just as much of a good thing as a bad thing, depending on their staff and talent (and budget, obviously)
