Today’s episode of Dragon Maid S was good. Tohru’s love for Kobayashi reaches concerning new levels.

the specter of 5/10 kids show Build Divers continues to haunt mech thread posters

dogsicle posted:the specter of 5/10 kids show Build Divers continues to haunt mech thread posters I mean, 5/10 shows are generally amongst the worst to watch. They're not even interestingly bad. Gundam is a franchise with lots of really fun (or, at least, well-made - can't really call 0080 'fun') kids' shows, too, so that's no excuse.

dogsicle posted:the specter of 5/10 kids show Build Divers continues to haunt mech thread posters 5/10 is far too generous for Build Divers. It's a 3/10 kind of show in a 5/10 way, which is even worse than a purestrain 5/10. It's worse than average in just about every regard, but it's not quite terrible enough at anything to be interestingly terrible. Twilight Axis is worse, but its a "How did this even happen?" kind of terrible, which has some value in an artistic sense. Build Divers is just a waste of everyone's time. Especially the protagonist. He makes Kira Yamato look like Shinji Ikari.

I'm watching nothing other than MHA this season, and that's been limping along for a few seasons now. I'm considering letting it build up for a few weeks so I can binge it, because the pacing is soo sloooow.

Strange Quark posted:divers and re:rise were both 5/10 experiences. kind of boring, and i immediately forgot everything after watching it. This feels a little unfair to Re:Rise. It's a fairly basic portal fantasy adventure story, but there's some solid craft, charm, and heart in there. It's nowhere near as soulless as Build Divers.

I'm not trying to give Re:rise too much credit, and I only got halfway through the first season before other shows distracted me, but no. Not even close. Re:Rise is a 6 or maybe a 7 if it really picks up. It has characters with personalities and arcs, it has narrative stakes, it has a plot that moves forward with reveal that weren't obvious from the first scene of the first episode. Meanwhile, Divers proper is just crap.

Darth Walrus posted:I mean, 5/10 shows are generally amongst the worst to watch. They're not even interestingly bad. well usually a 5 would be something that balances some flaws/missteps and strengths, i often enjoy my seasonal 5's a lot because they are wild things to deal with. divers isn't really at that level because it doesn't have huge interesting flaws or enough payoff. but cutting bland kid paste with some amazing fights or the occasional bit of writing that speaks to an emotional core of how people interact with/through games was enough for me. especially off the heels of rewatching Try which just feels annoying and even antagonistic at times. obviously OG Build is the standard you'd hope for but i don't find Divers particularly worse than like, ReRise s1. that ReRise takes an entire season to get over its slow burn sensibilities is its big weakness, since s2 does at least offer enough meat beyond what Divers was working with to stand above it (granted, it is literally standing on some work Divers did). ostensibly the entire franchise is kid friendly but i suppose i'm just concentrating on the Build series stuff that feels of a specific type.

I've been watching Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, and I think it's one of the better shows this season. It's doing a good job of actually elaborating on the setting and the characters, keeping things interesting while mixing in some pretty okay comedy. The main gag is that the sidekicks keep stealing the show, which is working well so far. By contrast, Seirei Gensouki has dissolved into a tepid mass of generic fantasy tropes. Not at all worth your time.

The third episode of Seirei was incredibly cringey on all fronts. The plot was cliche as hell and the animation quality was dogshit I really like the manga for Tsuki ga Michibiku so I’m happy the anime has been enjoyable!

the main problem i had with re:rise s1 was they took forever to drop the obvious bomb of the dog people being real instead of npcs, so it all feels like a drag. i think the action in both series is boring too, but ive never found robots fighting in any anime i watched to be exciting, so i think it's just a me thing

It does pick up and build up in quite a satisfying way, so I think you might well enjoy going back to it. Much of S1 is setup for the big midpoint climax, and the show kicks into high gear from there while ably paying off its various investments.

I choose to believe that by breaking free of children's anime and returning to his anti-imperialist roots that he eatablished in Ring ni Kakero will be his great artistic awakening.

The setting is fairly interesting, the MC is inoffensive (which is a high bar with isekais), and the gags are pretty good.

Divers stands out because it has the blandest lead character ever to exist, then gives him the Poochie treatment by making everyone incredibly interested in this kid with no particular talents or personality traits. By giving Hiroto a clearly defined personality and role in the world in his first scenes, Re:Rise proved itself a much better show, despite its faults.

the build divers guy wrote the episode of cross ange where ange runs around in a bear mascot costume with a gun and bursts in on two ladies having sex and then goes 'uhh, sorry' and one of them goes 'i mean you dont have to leave' and then it just cuts away so im forced to conclude that the build divers guy is ftw

I haven't seen episode three yet, but I was also really impressed with episodes one and two. Chalk me down as another person who was pleasantly surprised by the show, especially the protagonist. In the first two episodes, at least, the show managed to thread an interesting line between making him powerful but also kind of lame. He's got his flaws, but he's also likable and sympathetic, and considering the genre the fact that the show can have a protagonist who is believably flawed but still a positive character is way ahead of the curve. Usually "flawed" seems to be shorthand for "an obnoxious pervert" or "cool lone wolf dude", so I am in favor of the protagonist the show being lame but in a terrestrial, sympathetic, intentional way.

I understood it's purpose when I watched the second, but it made me wonder why it was put at the end of the first episode when those themes were not being talked about there.

InspectorCarbonara posted:Is this a good “what the gently caress” (like it has a crazy plot twist or something), or a bad “what the gently caress”? The bad kind. It's really bad, and doesn't fit at all with the tone of everything before that. You suddenly get a scene where a nun in a church is praying to god as she is raped for foreign soldiers.
