been doing a wing rewatch with a friend seeing it for the first time. we're currently in the sanc kingdom arc and her take on it has been "this is like watching a fanfiction but it was written into the show. they're all in a high school AU and the fanfic's author put in a self insert that's richer than releena" EDIT: oops this was supposed to go in the gundam thread but i guess this is fine

I don't think there's any actual difference in the average quality of a 12 episode vs 24 episode show, but at least if I like the 24 episode show there's more of it

the thing is i don't believe many shows would have actually turned out better if the producer was told on day 2 of preproduction "actually nevermind we've halved your episode count" there's plenty of 12 episode shows that waste their time too. my feeling is that's down to issues within the team/production rather than the number of episodes they were given

drrockso20 posted:An overly bleak and cynical deconstruction* of a genre that didn't need it that is nowhere even remotely as clever or competent as it thinks it is that actively harmed the entire medium of anime(and most other mediums that intersect with it) by encouraging everyone and their grandma to try and copy it even more incompetently, and only really succeeded because the people involved on the visual and musical side of things did an admittedly really good job that in turn made it very easy to merchandise for Is anime mass copying madoka even a thing anymore? I feel like isekai power fantasy are the dominant fad now and the influence madoka had is a lot more subtle But also this kinda reads like you're just salty that bleak media is occasionally popular

i want to know how drrockso feels about evangelion now. after all i keep hearing madoka is the evangelion of magical girls so i'm sure evangelion ruined mecha anime the same wayBooky posted:isn't madoka not even really that bleak too? from like, the halfway point until close to (but not actually at) the end it's fairly bleak. i wouldn't put it on the same level of bleakness as devilman crybaby even at its peak but i don't think it's an entirely inaccurate word to use to describe madoka ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Aug 6, 2021 |

it's fine to not like bleak stuff if thats not ur thing but iirc there's always been dark takes on genres, especially magical girl shows, and madoka seemed pretty influential which is why there was a lot of bad copies or w/e
|
i get not enjoying bleak media but the way people act like it's some kind of active detriment on society that needs to be destroyed is loving weird in fact, i find that mindset kind of bleak

Because japan was the genociding side in ww2 and also "one side is beyond terrible, while the other merely sucks major rear end" is a pretty good descriptor of every war I'm aware of Like what's the alternative, glorifying one side of the war while universally depicting the other as bloodthirsty monsters, so it's clear who should die and who shouldn't? I'm sure you can find american war propaganda movies quickly and easily if you're really itching for that. What is the approach to war you're looking for exactly?

thunderbolt is probably the most focused on how fighting in a war will twist your basic humanity against you in a nonstop congaline of suffering, but has a lot less focus on the broader politics of whether war is justified or not (its approach is more "the people who get to make that decision aren't the ones who will be suffering for it, so does it really matter?"). war in the pocket is going to be the one with the most to say about how the pop culture perception of war leaves civilian individuals tragically unprepared for what war actually entails. 0079 probably has the most attention paid to how war is conducted and perpetuates itself but is also probably one of the more "justified" wars (at least from the federation's end). idk. every gundam is fundamentally about war and at least attempts to be a pretty complex discussion on it and its effects. hard to measure "most" without defining what anti-war specifically means to you. does it mean war is never justified? does it mean war fundamentally solves nothing? does it mean there are always better alternatives that should be sought after instead? does it mean war really really sucks to experience? like if you wanna discuss whether or not pacificism is a good alternative i'm not sure many gundams delve into that nearly as much as gundam wing does but i'd also certainly hesitate to call gundam wing "the most anti-war" ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Dec 26, 2022 |

Steve Yun posted:Thanks for the feedback. To be honest I hadn’t thought much of the term “anti-war” beyond “war bad” so I guess I have something to chew on december sky is excellent and a nice, hour-long fairly self contained story this is because it's effectively a prologue to a larger story, which bandit flower is part 1 of [who knows] on there is no animated follow up to bandit flower and at this rate seems unlikely there ever will be. so you can stop at december sky satisfied with what you have or continue on to bandit flower for a story you won't see the rest of without reading the manga.

that just seems really broad, it's a genre + a tone. was there like specific repeated story conceits or common plot elements that people got tired of? i was also rather of the impression that darker concepts and tones were always common in magical girl anime and all madoka did was make the focus more explicitly on those elements ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Feb 8, 2023 |

people coming into the mecha thread to let everyone know they hate popular anime puella magi madoka magica i guess the current reason appears to be "because it's bad when shows are sad" which seems like an odd opinion to bring into the mecha thread but ok. i think i had an easier time sympathizing with "because it was a fad for a while"

HAmbONE posted:I’m not familiar with Dragonar, I will have to check it out. I meant no disrespect by my comment; simply by having black special forces and a black second in command seemed very progressive for the time. I am also not an expert on anime nor it’s history of portrayal of different races. I don't think anyone here is. I'm glad you made that post highlighting M-66, as not only was I unaware of the representation in that show but now I'm learning about all these other old shows with good rep. Even if it did in fact have contemporaries that were as or more progressive I think it was a good observation to make and share.

Fivemarks posted:There's probably ACTUALLY a discussion to be had about how Ghibli's films and their critical acclaim in the west contributed to an idea that "If it wasn't Ghibli or like Ghibli, its a dumb kids show or mindless ultraviolence" that kinda tarred a lot of anime in the west in the 1980's and 1990's and on into the 2000's. there's probably actually a discussion to be had about how this is the natural mass response to any breakout work in an otherwise disliked or unknown market and it has nothing to do with ghibli, evangelion, or madoka other than "they happened to be high quality enough to have a chance at rolling the winning dice, and they did"
