yomogi's relationship with yume isn't especially deep but. he has a dynamic with her. he's not just a nice guy he specifically takes time to warm up to and understand her and they joke around with each other a lot. it's one of the more real-feeling and naturalistic relationships of its kind in a robot anime. hell, in a show in general lol. i think the worst i could say about dynazenon is that you could argue they squeeze a bit too much character stuff into the audio dramas cause koyomi and the kaiju eugenicists get a lot of good fleshing out in those and they do an interesting job digging deeper into yomogi's own problems, even giving a look at him just hanging out with his divorced dad and one scene of his mom talking about how she regrets the way things went sour between them, and also better shows how yomogi and yume bounce off each other in the aftermath of the story. the worst part of all this is that chise is still the one who gets kinda stiffed and doesn't really get a focus one.

yeah the audio dramas are a bit too core essential i think which is a shame but its not like they arent easily accesible and all of them together is like a 20 minute listen/read of the TLs. but even in the show itself yomogi has a pretty good dynamic with yume. you get stuff like the gag at the pool, them talking on the hillside, etc. it's clear that they actually kind of vibe with each other, that they both feel kind of left behind by their families. and if anything id say yomogi's defining character trait is less 'nice' and more 'honest,' which contrasts more obviously with yume's deal. frankly their relationship is established and sold better than rikka and akane's, which is also core to the series and mostly established by an ED that doesn't make sense whatsoever until like episode 9, and one scene of akane hitting on her at the beach. of course given both gridman's structure and the point that relationship is trying to make as a larger part of the story it makes sense for it to be that way, but let's not pretend that 'yuta not mattering' somehow turns all his scenes with rikka and akane into scenes *of* rikka and akane.

dogsicle posted:the ensemble nature feels a bit weak until closer to the end tbh, Chise and Koyomi are still stiffed overall and they don't do a whole lot with the Eugenicists either (this mainly impacts Sizumu and Mujina who actually gesture to having arcs or things to say) I feel like it was ok with mujina since her whole deal was that she wasn't able to let go and move on like Koyomi. It's genuinely tragic how it ends up that way and maybe giving a bit more time on that inner conflict would've been good, but I think for one of many characters in a show that's just 12 episodes long it was enough for her place in it. Koyomi and Chise though, yeah. I'm not gonna hold my breath but I hope that if the next project is again a character drama that they try to do two cour or at least a full 14 episodes or something. I definitely agree that the battles kinda fall flat though, as much as I appreciate how they try to make everything look like rubber suit monsters the fights are basically the same length as the transformation sequences half the time. Maybe it's a sign I just don't get what they're going for but both shows bury the lede reaaallly deep. Acerbatus fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Dec 9, 2021 |

i think koyomi's eps made their point pretty clearly and the gag at the end of it made his arc entirely worth it. chise does get a raw deal tho, yeah.

I forgot she was a character until she showed up in the AL collab. not in the Now and Then, Here and There sense where shu being there making literally no difference until the climax being kind of the point, but more like I think they realized in episode 2 they didn't have any plans for her and it was too late for her to just not appear.

I forgot she was a character until she showed up in the AL collab. i think they like chise but were clearly stretched for time. unlike gridman where the audio dramas were mostly quick gag scenes off to the side or extended epilogues/commentaries on episodes, the dynazenon audio dramas often take place in the middle of episodes or feel like scenes that were basically just cut from it for time. there's a lot of fairly valuable information in there, as opposed to 'rikka cant drink soda' and a gag about her having a sugar daddy. so dynazenon feels like it really needed a few more episodes, but sadly anime production doesnt really allow for that, especially in its modern form. chise feels like another casualty of it.

Yomogi definitely kinda had a problem where most of his larger emotional conflicts were kinda just stock male MC stuff without actually that much more going on to make him interesting than, say, Yuuta, but his rapport with Yume and all of their smaller interactions and the way they gradually opened up to each other were consistently great and let me largely overlook my problems with how some of his character was handled. (Though I will say that one episode where Yume didn't show up to fight and it all got resolved with Yomogi showing up in his robot and Chise going "see, you've got a man waiting for you" actually had me saying "oh come on" out loud).

Eh the audio drama/side material fleshing out Dynazenon is nice but it's still a flaw that the main show didn't really show it and felt like it suffered. Whereas yes Gridman's main plot didn't get fully revealed till episode 9 but all you need to get it was in the main show. Still despite me not liking it anywhere near as much as Gridman it still may end up in my top 10 given how much summer dropped off aside from Love Live

I'm still kinda surprised there never ended up being a gridman or dynazenon manga or LN after the anthologies came out, but I don't know much about how that would work out from the business side of things. Maybe the staff were satisfied with how things turned out despite particularly dynazenon feeling like stuff got cut?

Strange Quark posted:People speculate his powers were weakened with Jonathan's body passively resisting him Well DIO did say that was happening so I guess. That's a good theory, it's nice to have a concrete idea of how exactly Jonathan was fighting him. I always just assumed DIO had to shove more veins throughout the limbs to make it move than he should've. Granted, he was no Pillar Man though so he should've had a little more trouble controlling a body than Esidisi did popping on a new arm or taking over Suzy Q's. dogsicle posted:stands are just better than space ripper stingy eyes El Burbo posted:I mean he was pretty handily winning there until he got time stopped, why would he need to freeze jotaro too Yeah, but I mean stack them on top of each other. Zeppeli and Dire got owned immediately trying to fight him with Hamon, how're you gonna punch someone that freezes you every time you make contact with them? And also stops time and shoots lasers from their eyes when it turns out that knives aren't enough to stop you? Kagaya Homoraisan posted:i think the currently accepted theory is the world is dios stand and hermit purple #2 (and yes the fans do call it that) is johnathans stand. which makes it weird that 2 different joestars have the exact same stand but i guess no matter what answer you pick for this question something doesnt add up lol Plus it's a weird situation that's never going to come up again too. If any one else gets their body hijacked by a vampire head and awakens a new type of power in their family line, then we can start drawing some conclusions. But as it stands, who knows how any of this works.

it wouldn't have fixed chise's arc not being fleshed out, but I really think they should've let her have a cockpit inside of goldburn, so she could be with everyone else when they formed kaiser gridknight, instead of having to root from the streets
