All I'm taking away from this conversation is that it is for the best that I neglected to watch Darling in the Franxx.

I liked everything up until past the wedding, where everything poo poo the bed and made me go "what". I like a happy ending as much as anyone else, but Franxx's one was really ??? and unearned.

Upon rewatching the episode: Am I the only one with this impression, or do Samurai Calibur's eyes shrink ever so slightly during that one scene where he goes  ?

Anosillus the Second is categorized under Kaiju on the series' website  https://gridman.net/kaiju/#/anosillus2nd We got the spelling wrong

My impression of Franxx was that it really wanted to talk about gender but had absolutely no valuable ideas about that subject.

The biggest things that let me down about Franxx were thatRand Brittain posted:My impression of Franxx was that it really wanted to talk about gender but had absolutely no valuable ideas about that subject. as well as how it built up this really intriguing backstory and then felt the need to go into detail about it which ruined all the mystery and replaced it with some completely stupid explanation. Sometimes it's better to leave things to the imagination. dogsicle posted:I'm not sure what it would be able to do to even earn that comparison at this point. just let shows exist It is also a trigger made show about fighting giant kaiju that has an air of mystery about things early on and is generally pretty good. Its just the typical "man I hope that this doesn't completely fumble the ending" feeling. CrashScreen posted:What did it do with the subject instead? Nothing. It did nothing.

We should probably add to that that Gridman is written by Tsuburaya (best known for Ultraman) and here Trigger is entirely on the animation side, just as in DitF. As such, at worst, people should fear how still everything will get once Gridman grows even more gigantic in his marriage form.

To be fair, it sounds like the director, Akira Amemiya, has a lot of creative control over the story as well, and he is very much a Trigger guy. That said, Amemiya also had no involvement with DiTF. It's still perfectly possible that Gridman explodes, but it won't have any real correlation with DiTF even if it does.

Oh, I have zero faith that this show will deliver on any sort of promise for a satisfying ending, but at this point I don't care and I am just watching for the kaiju fights, mecha anime callbacks, and the nice legs. If it does do something neat with the plot, I'd be down, but I'll enjoy this either way I'm sure.

Really disappointed that 1/3rd of this last episode was "A new character appears and describes the plot to Yuta." Rikka and Anti's and Akane and Utsumi's parts were both interesting and cool, but the entire plot dump part was super dissatisfying. Also, an episode without a kaiju is still bad even if you call it out for being bad in the episode itself.

Keiichi Hasegawa literally wrote an entire decade's worth of shows for the Ultra Series, and almost single-handedly started getting tokusatsu series serious critical attention again. I think it's reasonable to assume some level of competence.

Not that Anosillus the Second was built up before her first real appearance, but she has been sneaking around in the background of earlier episodes. And, of course, the OP, which started running on the second episode (not sure if she had an in-episode appearance in that one).

That's a neat touch. I think it was posted somewhere in this thread that there are some nice details about characters in the background as well.

Considering the reveals of episode 6, now that I think about it, why doesn't Akane just send like 30 kaiju at Yuta at once just to take him out for sure?

Also in the character design of the girl kaiju https://twitter.com/tuki3002/status/1061297469814824960?s=19%C2%A0 It is repeatedly stated that she stinks. Bloody humanoid kaijus

I get the impression that she needs what's-his-face's help to make her carvings into actual Kaiju, so it might be a limitation of his own power?

Spiritus Nox posted:I know about Akane's nameless background friends apparently being the main characters from a Yuri novella the director wrote a while back. Anything else? The podcast guys were based off of an actual Japanese podcast, I think. There's something vaguely ironic about a show as full of shoutouts as this having been aggressively anti-fanwork as it is/was.

I got poo-poo'd and shushed so loving much, with claims that studios can't have habits or meddling that lead to such things, or that Trigger could save the day (I hereby regret holding onto that hope until the pentultimate episode.) I took note of her in this shot but didn't think anything of it at the time. Now I know she learned to find change in coin returns and under machines from Anzu.

I think it might be an Evangelion reference, or perhaps more generally common framing, when Shinji and Rei are walking with roughly that spacing and the cars look just like that too, right after the infamous post-shower scene.

A-1 not having a typical studio structure means there can be wildly different staff on each project, so there's often not a single indicator for their show quality.
