I switched to the dub halfway through this episode of Blue Gener and it's exactly the same.

The explanation of why the Sleepers are important makes negative sense.

Like, it doesn't just not makes sense, it goes beyond making no sense.

Marlene has the concept of Sleeper super soldiers explained to her once, then she has one mock battle and she's like, "the way he moves, he must be a Sleeper!"

You don't know that. Don't act like you know all about Sleeper Super Soldiers, lady.

Dougram is 75 episodes long, I don't have the attention span to go through it all in one go.

plus i'm mad that they killed the best character.

This one is bad enough I can't actually make out what the word is even supposed to be, and as far as I'm aware it's generally held as true that as long as the first and last letters of a word are correct you should be able to make out what the word was meant to be. I'm thinking detonate, but I've no idea if it's true. Put me out of my misery and solve the puzzle for me.

That came up when the character activated the self-destruct system, so presumably detonate is correct

The last couple episdoes of Blue Gender shoulda been one episode, IMO. The Blue hit their preset kill limit. They reached their limit and shut down, now the Earth is cool. Got it. We don't need a big fight with a Super-Blue and Yuji going into a laser flower. That was just filler.

But beyond that, it wasn't a bad show at all! Why were you weirdos all, "Blue Gender? Ew, don't watch that show."?

Yeah. The Earth decided that there were too many humans, so it sent the Blue to kill most people. Then, that done, the Blue built a big tower, went inside and died. All of this is explained by the characters, they get what's going on, but there's also a giant laser flower in the Blue graveyard, which is the will or the consciousness of the Earth. This hasn't been foreshadowed or set up at all, it's just there, and Yuji is all, "I gotta go into the laser flower" and Marlene is like, no it's over, live happily with me, but Yuji goes into the laser flower, which beams images into his brain which illustrate what Marlene just told him, including that he should go live happily with her, so he gets out of the laser flower and is like, "welp, it wasn't very convincing coming from you, but if the laser flower says so..." The End.

If I remember properly part of it has to do with Blue Gender having an amazingly awful movie adaption of the show that tacks on a really confusing and bad ending

Blue Gender is actually pretty good, yeah. If anything the bad reputation is based on when it got shown on Adult Swim back when I was like 7 or 8 and they basically edited it to remove everyone's death scenes, which predictably turns the story into total nonsense.

e: as you can probably glean, this was before my time a little, I mostly know of it because I read that Edit List column on ANN a long, long while back and they were kinda all like "holy Jesus gently caress they're butchering this show!"

I have to assume they removed all the Heinlein style casual sex too.

I read Shin Getter Robo. I thought Getter Rays were like, the opposite of dinosaurs? So how was Gore there? The others were people, so it makes sense that they could like, be part of the Getter energy deal, but Gore was a dinosaur. Am I misunderstanding what was going on? Or does it get explained in Arc?

Well, in Go the getter did say that all life on earth was precious, including dinosaurs. It's also possibe the high amount of getter rays is making Saotome hallucinate.

On a more serious note, I need to sit my rear end down and finish watching Heroman. I've started over twice because I got distracted, dropped it for a few months, then forgot where I was. And then figure out what to watch next, I guess, all this newfangled stuff is strange and confusing beyond "gently caress Eureka Seven." Maybe Godmars as a comedy option if nothing else jumps at me.
