Pandora has got to be the lowest I'm setting my expectations for a mecha show in a long-rear end time considering who's behind it. Please prove me wrong cause we're a touch starved for the Good poo poo. And Tiramisu's almost certainly just a weird comedy thing, and the one-two punch of Daimidaler and Dai Shogun soured me on that idea forever probably, so also low expectations. ...uh, will I need to have seen the rest of FMP before Invisible Victory? If so, better get on that. ...and also will I need to have seen the rest of Build Fighters before Divers? so drat behind

I like the title Invisible Victory because it can be abbreviated as IV, and its the fourth FMP show.

Also based on where the Novels/Manga go, this season should basically be just drama. Especially since Fumoffu already adapted most of the later comedy scenes.

Yeah, I was mostly going by the Manga where iirc about the only real comedy stuff left is the penultimate arc which is a really poorly paced flashback arc (Christmas cruiseship hijinks) to breakup some intensely depressing stuff. Cause like immediately after where the Second Raid ends you have The comedy half of the premise blown up by Kaname's kidnapping and Sousuke getting outed at school. Then the internal attack on Mithril, a six month timeskip where you lose the Arbalest and the rest of the cast for a huge chunk of the story while Sousuke does his gladiator thing all interspersed with lovely scenes of Leonard being a huge drat creep 24/7 and the incredibly dumb revelations about the Whispered Zore fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Mar 21, 2018 |

Yes, Sigma didn't pull in anything from Side Arms 2 so it followed the more serious tone of the mainline novels. It followed them pretty closely, though, and the scanlations are a much easier read than some of the fanlated novels were.

Some of those comparisons are way too good. And the others are of anime I did not watch so I can't say. The Big O one especially just loving slayed me.

Either you're sane like Loran and therefore disturbed by all the madness of war around you, or you're disturbed like Mika, and therefore, well, disturbed by default. It's not a guarantee that you'll develop a thousand yard stare, but the odds are definitely in favor. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Jun 21, 2019 |

I'm gonna go see it anyways but I knew from the first trailer and del toro not being in it that it wouldn't be the same. I'm guessing the jaegers are much more anime and have much less weight to them that they did in every single scene in the first movie? Which was, like, the entire point of the movie, to try and portray giant robots in a real-world setting no matter how ridiculous they are?

Between the song choice, the visuals they went with for it, and the lack of that Del Toro spark, it just came off as super uninteresting. The worst part is that there's good stuff in there. If you completely excised one of the major plot lines, removed a character, and took out the Kaiju, it would be a good movie. But there's just so much that doesn't work it swamps the stuff that does.

There's one sequence that's an incredibly blatant Evangelion reference that's pretty great mass-produced unpiloted evil white robots fly in and gently caress poo poo up

Endorph posted:pacific rim 2 seems like it takes place at a time of day when anything, ever, can be seen, so its probably better than pacific rim 1 I keep seeing this sort of comment, off and on, and it really doesn't work for me. Pacific Rim 1, like Jurassic Park, had most of its big shots at night in the rain because night and rain work miracles in the all-important field of making CGI look, to quote the Bard "Less poo poo". It also lets the film set up more dramatic lighting which, again, makes the effects blend better with the environment. You can see the impact fairly clearly in the one daytime fight scene from Pacific Rim 1. Same effects, but they look notably more fake than the night scenes. Uprising shows the same thing even in trailers, with none of the weight and impact that made the first film distinct. I suppose it's a question if you want to put a little more effort into seeing something worth showing, or if you prefer to clearly show something that isn't worth looking at.

CGI is good enough now that you don't need rain or dark to hide it but if you had actual trouble seeing what was going on in the first film you may need to adjust your TV/local cinema.

I did feel pretty comfortable with following the action in Pacific Rim 1. The fights were in low-light conditions, but contained enough illumination to let you see what was going on. It wasn’t, like, M3 or something.

Imo the fight scenes in pacific rim 1 were absolutely fine, they were gorgeously lit and very easy to follow, most of the hate on them is more people having a more fundamental dislike of the film (which, tbh, PacRim was pretty mediocre overall) but not being able to adequately describe why, and instead latching on to a seemingly valid criticism without examination.
