Everything Burrito posted:Go Nagai is also gross yeah, I don't think novelty factors into it. it grosses me out precisely because it reminds me of the grody jokes weirdos make about every fantasy thing ever because of the doujins they're into

Also the fact that the whole thing is a big ol' power fantasy, complete with anonymous protagonist in full armor that you can project yourself onto, makes it worse as well.

imo go nagai stuff and berserk too still has elements of sincerity and humanity that make them worth reading if one could get past their frivolous sexual violence but I also understand if one could not

like even the arc of berserk where guts is frequently left in the middle of a field of children's corpses ends on the idea that there it's pointless to always run from your situation and seek a paradise, but to stick it out in the battlefield of your life and idk I like that

I feel the fact that Go Nagai's art is incredibly crude by today's standards also lessens any shock factor in his manga.

Wow, GRIDMAN has a really impressive writer/director combo. Did anyone ever check out Viper’s Creed? Because from what else I’ve seen of his work, Keiichi Hasegawa really seems to know what he’s doing, and I kind of wanna know how far back it goes.

Gridman seemed cool. I understand why the fans of the original tokusatsu are not so enthusiastic about it. Someone earlier in the thread said they didn't want another eva love letter and I fully undersand that. The EVA references were exactly what gripped me because I'm a horrible person who doesn't care about the original material. I'm sorry  What I'm saying give me a new entertaining potentially melodramatic mindfucky mecha show. Or any anime for that matter that grips me in the same way as EVA did. I swear it's not just nostalgia talking.

Dessel posted:Gridman seemed cool. I understand why the fans of the original tokusatsu are not so enthusiastic about it. I’d be hesitant to compare Gridman to Eva too closely. It may be using a number of the same visual tools, but it’s using them to tell a very different kind of story - an outward-facing ontological mystery rather than an inward-facing psychological thriller. The Gridman gang are trapped in a weird, off-kilter world, while Shinji is trapped in his own head with the world’s weirdness being more of a symbolic visual aid.

the half-length comedies this season are killer honda seems like it might carry the miss bernard torch but for manga and manga/bookstore culture, and himote house is an interesting enough premise carried by strong designs and the return(?) of improv segments.

I wasn't fond of the joke timing or delivery of Himote House, and the stiff 3D mobage CG animation didn't click either. The overall premise and the after credits session were great though, but not enough for me to keep watching.

The aesthetics are Gainaxy as hell and there will no doubt be some kind of mindfuck plot twist at some point, but in terms of the style of story this show is almost certainly going to be more of a love letter to the 90s era toku show it's a revival of.

Yeah. It's also important to remember a lot of Eva was a loveletter to old Toku shows, so there's going to be some common ground for any revival like this even if you somehow got a cryogenically frozen animation team who'd never heard of Shinji.

^ I expect as much. It is a tokusatsu show originally after all. I know I'm expecting something the show most likely isn't going to be. I just liked the visual/audio motifs and some vibes from the storytelling.

I don't know who did it first but I know that the shots in Gridman where there's enormous, majestic Kaiju corpses just looming over the city skyline is dope as gently caress
