I saw Netflix is adding the 3 Gundam compilation movies this month it would be nice if they added the Reconquista in G films — it’s been a while since the series came out and I’d watch it recut

Can't believe Ann Hathaway got a Gundam before Ilhan Omar... Also watching 0080 put 0083: stardust memory in my YouTube algorithm and I've been watching that. It's like half top gun in space mechs, but I wish the other half was the homoerotic parts of top gun. E: Top Gundam HootTheOwl has issued a correction as of 00:03 on Jun 11, 2021 |

0083 sucks rear end and its hilarious how many unforced errors they made writing-wise that the manga adaptation fixed with the most minor of changes (like having the protagonist actually win the zaku vs gm wargame in episode 1)

I don't see the point of the 0079 compilation movies. You somehow make it too short to fit in all the fun stuff, yet simultaneously make it long enough at three full length films that you're not really saving any tie by watching it instead of just watching the series. Those "Mobile Armor of the Week" and "Jerks on speeder bikes with C4 are Gundams most dangerous foe" make the show.

Lostconfused posted:They've been doing that since like Gundam UC. No, they also did that for Gundam UC. Kinda. IIRC the Unicorn release wasn't limited to one retailer and they weren't the expensive limited editions, they were "cheaper" but still like 50 bucks each regular editions. They didn't do it for any of the Gundam TV shows or OVAs or movies that have been released since then.

now that it's ended im reading through attack on titan and it's probably the worst manga ive ever read, just terrible on every level, the art, the story, the dialogue, the characters everything, and it's somehow one of the most popular franchises of all time. and yes it is the children who are wrong

Oh it's bad alright, really the anime getting just enough right was what launched it to (international) prominence imo. Some manga that are bad are inexplicably popular.

hmm, its solid at the start and impressive how it manages to put some big twists right in plain sight without it being obvious until you know what they are and keeps going for awhile, though it falls apart eventually (possibly after christa's story ends and she just sort of sits in the background using her newfound self-actualization and political power to turn into exactly what she just rejected being- a figurehead with no ability to affect the world except by being a virtuous symbol of femininity) actually given how often he wrote out any female character who was too strong, i think the ideals the author put forward by drawing lots of ripped women and such sort of collapsed under the pressure of success.

That said, they acquired some deserved early notoriety for their productions going to poo poo whenever the episode count first entered the double digits (Seraph of the End, The Rolling Girls, and the first season of Attack on Titan), and their adaptations are often a bit direct and literal, using panels as storyboards rather than getting truly creative and mapping over parts of a manga that don't work out quite so well in animation (AOT, Vinland Saga, and Ancient Magus Bride have all had these problems). They're a solid studio, but they're not as reliably spectacular at adaptive storytelling as, say, KyoAni or UFOTable (the latter of whom had to put a lot more extra effort into making Demon Slayer a megahit than Wit did with Attack on Titan).

Yeah, I think there were two episodes that the characters spent threatened by the cannons on the wall. They really should have cut a bit of the monologueing to make it flow better, but the same can be said for the comic itself. Just having people shut the gently caress up for a bit would also have improved the ending, come to think of it. genericnick has issued a correction as of 11:10 on Jun 13, 2021 |

aot has bad art at the start, though i think the artist always captures motion well which is basically what im after in manga and animations i think by the end the art is really good. it very vaguely reminds me of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which is one of my fav drawn comics the entire plot is quite bad though and whenever anyone goes into a multipage dialogue its gonna be extremely dumb. its one of those mangas where any time they start to explain whats going on it makes it worse than if it was just left up to intepretation i like the whole arc where you see things from the bad guys side though and find out that it wasn't really a plan or anything its a comedy of errors by brainwashed child soldiers

Yeah everything about the child soldiers aspect and Reiner coming to grips with everything he's done and trying to reach Falco and Gabi about the reality of what they're actually being asked to do is phenomenal The rest of the plot is laid out mostly really well but it kinda sucks outside of the child soldier revelation

MHA had a winning formula with "school for superheroes" but the school stuff was always far in the background. Especially after the majority of Deku's classmates turn out to pretty much be irrelevant. I don't think Horikoshi had a plan when he started writing MHA and I don't think he has one now.

for the record the single best moment in one piece is in arlong park, when nami finally accepts that these doofuses like her and want to help her, and asks luffy for help, and he just plunks his hat down on her head, walks back into town, and gives usopp sanji and zoro a chin jerk like "yo we gotta go beat some fishman rear end" and they do
