How urobuchi is thunderbolt fantasy anyway; I'm very impressed by the premise but also don't have a lot of patience for urobuchi nonsense

it seems like its something hes genuinely passionate about and enjoys making so even when it does get dark in parts it has a very different vibe than a lot of his other stuff. not that im saying he didnt enjoy making madoka or anything but you know what i mean, theres an enthusiasm for the material that shines through

Leraika posted:How urobuchi is thunderbolt fantasy anyway; I'm very impressed by the premise but also don't have a lot of patience for urobuchi nonsense There's a lot of existential dread and DESPAIR that gets applied to various characters but only from their perspective, so it varies in how concrete vs metaphorical and personal that this despair is. The Most Fate/Zero-esque plotline is in one of the movies between Enigmatic Gale and Screaming Murder Phoenix; but mostly its Enigmatic Gale trolling everybody so it wraps back around to being hilariously awesome instead of being laid on thick. Because basically imagine all of the tragic grimdark plotlines of the previous Gen works but instead imagine it happens to the worst people imaginable who completely deserve it happening to them and its entirely self-earned every. Single. Goddamned. Glorious. Time.

The latest season of TBF has Enigmatic Gale going "listen, we're gonna be separated, use this if you need to talk to me" and it's literally just a tiny nendoroid

The next SRW should have Wing and IBO as their main Gundam entries, OZ and Gjällarhorn are an easy fusion and Treize and Rustal seem like really good villains to play off of each other.

How long did it take Ash to win a league? 20 years? I get what people were saying earlier about teaching kids valuable life lessons but there came a point when it was just ridiculous. Granted, I'm sure most people my age stopped watching by like Johto or something and didn't see all these subsequent years of failure

Granted I haven't watched pokemon except in an extremely long time, but based on what I vaguely remember and how people talk about it, I think it would've made more sense if Ash was just in it to collect and learn about pokemon in general and engaging in Leagues was more of a test to prove himself/a side hobby/exercise his pokemon. So not winning a league isn't really a big deal because that isn't the focus? I suppose I should ask but was it ever explained how they resolve the ethical ramifications of having pokemon battle? Is it just how they "play" and keep fit and modern day pokemon battles with humans is actually "more" humane than how it was in nature?

I think it's that Pokemon generally have some level of sapience and seem to enjoy it.

I don’t think it’s that big a deal that Ash Ketchum from long running anime Pokémon loses a tournament every 200 episodes.

I don’t think it ever is, I think Detective Pikachu is the first time I’m aware that Pokémon autonomy actually something considered by the characters in the show since it goes from cute kids show to horrifying slave gladiator show if you explore that.

It takes place in a past where most people are loving terrified of pokemon due to the damage they can cause, but it also shows that most Pokemon are friendly and helpful once you figure out how to speak with them and some just seem to enjoy battling.

The fact Pokemon usually evolve and grow by battling implies it's a biological fact for them. They're also not usually in danger since Legends revealed that every mon has the ability to turn super tiny when in danger. Granted the anime uses the ray beans for balls so that's not applicable there.

Ash is concretely a battling junkie in Journeys, whereas his counterpart Go is generally more laidback and more into just catching and collecting. Also Pokemon animation has been awesome for years now, Journeys AOTY 3-4 years running

he won the alola league he already did it the reason this became a topic of discussion specifically is that the x/y anime actually brought up that hed never won one and him training intensely for it and had him get all the way to the finals and just barely lose, nobody really noticed before then. and then he won the very next one. so it was clearly just a longer form arc they were planning.

I maintain my stance that it's easy to overlook what's going on with Ash, at least in terms of story development, when the actual protagonists Team Rocket are there and frequently demonstrating something completely bonkers about themselves, their history, their abilities, or their group dynamic with practically every episode. Pikachu is also a good character in his own right, for the same reason R2D2 is great.

Hmmmm I think I made this sound better than it is. I just want the show to give up entirely on doing a last minute redemption for 90% of their story lines about horribly maiming and or killing hapless humans There doesn’t have to be a moral!
