Gaius Marius posted:I feel that but the force vector feels wrong, if the head doesn't come off it should've dragged the body with it, instead the body comes as a single piece with it as if it was non flexible, and it shouldn't have rolled considering the weight and the absorbancy of the snow on the ground. I think I better get where you're coming from here, thanks. Looking at it on loop, the head is definitely leading in the initial fall, but when it's going into a roll the force seems more evenly distributed, which might feel kinda wonky at a glance. (Looking at the overall fight, that's probably due to Carta's missing arm making the roll change directions.) The snow's also a pretty thin layer over the ice, which can help explain the rebound rather than just smashing in. IBO's definitely got a lot of heavy impact shots through its run, with a very different feel from the beamspam in a lot of mech anime, or even the attempts at physical exchanges in some of them. But I'd be remiss not to mention one shot from G-Reco that's stuck with me since I first saw it.

Endorph posted:https://twitter.com/feezy_feez/status/1368014212342050820 Turn A is probably the only Gundam to really make use of 50 eps but even then it has a clip show in there (kinda early for some reason, maybe it's covering a production issue?). I mean I would watch an extra 50 eps of the militia doing dumb things and Loran using the gundam as a washing machine but I feel like it'd be stretched a bit thin.

I'm not sure there has been any Gundam story I think would have benefitted from being given 100 episodes to play with. Destiny is trash, SEED did not benefit from more episodes to that story. ZZ umm doesn't really build on Z until the last 15-20 episodes I guess there aren't many others that have direct sequels you could thought experiment it about really. I havent engaged with any of the build series stuff but maybe them?

You could make an argument that AGE could have used the space. It's just that AGE is terrible and uses the time it does have badly, so there's no guarantee that giving it more episodes would even flesh out the supporting casts better.

IIRC AGE was originally pitched as a 100+ episode snoozefest, which I cannot imagine them managing to fill with anything meaningful in the slightest.

100 episodes of Destiny (or I guess 50 episodes of Shin and probably another 50 with Jesus) sounds kinda nightmarish. But a 100 episode Gundam Wing series would eventually loop around into being hilarious

Endorph posted:https://twitter.com/feezy_feez/status/1368014212342050820 I'm going to go against the crowd and say that I would have loved 100 episodes of Turn A. One of the reasons I enjoyed Turn A as is is because I loved the slow exploration of setting and character in the first half, as the plot mostly took a backseat and was basically just Guin and Dianna (or Kihel as Dianna) leading a series of negotiations that both sides militia's resented, and constantly hosed with for the sake of revenge. Anis' Cow and Dianna working in the field hospital are some of the strongest episodes of the show and the franchise as a whole to my mind, and that was when exploring a relatively similar Edwardian society. I would presume an extra 50 episodes would have been used to explore the Moon more (probably through Kihel) as a society in the same way the first half of the show explored Ameria through Dianna. As is, the show really didn't get to spend much time exploring the Moon and I feel like there's a lot to explore there, especially with how cryogenic sleep has affected the population, the fact technology and society as a whole is so staid, children can be physically older than their parents, the majority of the population at any one time are in cryogenic sleep, the almost physical stratification of society, with elites like Gym in the deeper cities who are thousands of years old, swan about in weird outfits in grand castles talking about almost fantasies of life, while closer to the surface you have people living in ramshackle towns wearing pretty normal outfits who don't appear to have access to cryogenic sleep at all, fishing for a living in rivers that stretch over the royal courts below and how Gym condescends about them. You also have Syd Mead talking about how he was told that WaDoms were grown on the Moon and to make them look somewhat organic because of it, so an expanded runtime might have even allowed the series to explore that, the history of the Turns themselves more (though I don't really think it's all that necessary; it'd still be nice), Corin's past etc. Man, that's gonna grip my imagination for a while, and leave me sad we didn't get that. chiasaur11 posted:You could make an argument that AGE could have used the space. Akihiro Hino mentioned in one interview or something that he originally envisioned Generation 2 being about 10 episodes longer, and wanted to focus those extra episodes on Asem and Zehearts schooldays, so yeah, I think it's fairly apparent he would have absolutely wasted those extra episodes if he got them.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't enjoy monster at all. People say it's one of the best animes ever, but it felt like a showtime show. Just dragging and dragging forever, I got to the point where I realized I couldn't give a gently caress anymore and didn't want to spend my time watching it. Everything about it is good, music, animation, plot, it's all decent. But the pacing is absolutely glacial, and then any time something interesting starts happening the show hits a brick wall before the climax and resets.

I'm given to understand something like this happens in Pripara, someone just shoots off into space during a performance sometime in season 1 and when she finally lands its in season 3 and in the middle of a big idol competition and she carries on with her performance like nothing had happened.

they're a newer publisher set up by the FAKKU guys. they took up the Shintaro Kago and Urotsukidoji licenses FAKKU had and have some other ecchi/explicit stuff but one of their first big licenses was Kaiji, they're putting out March Comes in Like a Lion, Emiya Gohan etc. so just an interesting variety publisher that's been going for a couple years now.

So I've started up season 2 of IBO. I see we're back to clunky exposition to introduce the new players. Atra giving the recap at the start was fine, but most of the other exposition was a bit ehhhhh that felt like they were padding out the runtime a bit. I do like the big chunky wannabe GM the pirates use and the Shidens are great looking grunt suits. And I see Shino has kept up with his customized suits.

Supposedly, the plan is for a One Year War variant, basically covering the first Gundam movie's plot arc, but that could also just be someone making poo poo up going for the most likely avenue. Anyway, we'll see what we see.

I, for one, don't like The Origin OVAs. Too much zeonwank. Too much charwank. Like, it's too much Zeonwank to the point where none of the mobile suit battles are actually interesting at all- like the first mobile suit battle on the moon when Minvosky is trying to defect, where there's zero tension whatsoever so all you do is watch the feddies not land a single hit while Zeon basically wins the fight without a scratch. Also the scene where that guy grabs Char by the shoulder, and Char glares at him so hard that he flies off of Char's shoulder and hits the ground hard enough to crack it.

I enjoy both the zeonwank and the charwank, though char's inhumanly piercing gaze is definitely something I would not miss if removed. An origin without char betraying and murdering multiple people and beating the poo poo out of suspicious looking people in bars would not be nearly as enjoyable though The mobile suit fights I do enjoy as a massive demonstration of how mobile suits completely spin all preconceptions of how combat would play out on its head. I wouldn't enjoy it if fights continued playing out like that in future OVA entries as we're past the prologue part of gundam, but for their role in the story I think they do a good job. Really though the thing that would make me most giddy about future origin ovas would be more absurd zabi family drama. ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Mar 16, 2021 |

I'm split on Char in the Origin. It certainly does glorify him as well as adds one really unnecessary part to his backstory, but it also adds more villainous stuff he did so it's not exactly trying to white-wash him either.

If you think about the Origin as a story told by Char, then I think the bias the story shows makes a bit more sense. Still a very pretty thing, but Char having not a single person who can really challenge him kinda dulls a lot of the conflicts. I get the manga prb doesn't fit with that, but the OVA's scope and story I think do.
