1st Stage Midboss posted:The same "buy the Japanese movie Blu-rays at big prices" approach has happened in the UK with Gundam and Love Live movies, and those have always had reasonably priced domestic releases down the line, so I'd expect people who aren't big enough G-Reco fans to pay £500 for it will have their chance here and in the US after all the movies are out. That's how it worked for The Origin if I'm remembering right. Unicorn also had that kinda thing going on for awhile until it was all done.

Gripweed posted:I remember the discourse at the time. "Oh please, Raraiya suddenly wanders off right when they're going to meet people who knew her before? That's convenient lazy writing." was a thing people actually said. Followed up a couple episodes later with "Oh so suddenly Raraiya is totally fine now? I don't think you go from brain damaged to fine in a day like that. Poorly written show" Heck I specifically remember how Raraiya says she's sick before she happens to avoid the meeting but then later in that episode another character mentions how she doesn't appear to have a fever or anything.

Blockhouse posted:If we want to name names and be specific there was a site in the early 2000's called MAHQ that had a review section and they loving hated ZZ. That opinion just trickled down into the mass of people who had never watched and really had no way to watch it, so they just kind of parroted it until everyone believed it was true. Heck I remember trawling through usenet archives a few years back to find anime takes from the 90s and I recall seeing a lot of people who hated ZZ all the way back then too. And since that's from an era when people couldn't easily watch the show to see for themselves, well, easy to see how you'd have some folks who never saw the show repeating the common criticisms.

Gripweed posted:Fridging originally referred to the trend from American comics of having superheroes' girlfriends get horribly murdered just to motivate the hero. With the term coming from the time Green Lantern came home to find his girlfriend in the fridge. These were characters who existed for no reason beyond to be sexy and then get murdered. That was what the term was describing and criticizing. It has to mean more than just "women dying to motivate the protagonist" because if that's all it means the it's an extremely stupid way to criticize media. It's fiction, most things that happen to motivate the protagonist. Flay was one of the best realized characters in the whole show, she had her own arc, and her death was a conclusion to her own arc. If that's fridging, then who gives a poo poo about fridging? imo an especially important detail about that specific comic is that the girlfriend only existed for like, 2-3 issues. She never got to be her own character, she's just Green Lantern's girlfriend, she was immediately killed in a violent way and there's nothing you can say about her except her death. If instead of dying she broke up with him and left town never to be seen again nobody would remember her.

I enjoy The Great Gundam Project, though admittedly I already liked Abnormal Mapping so hearing hosts I already liked talking about something else was an easy sell for me.

There's also a bunch of moments where cause and effect isn't directly stated, just implied at a later point. An early example I think about is how it's not immediately apparent why Aida is allowed to escape from captivity early on. Bellri gets to be a "hostage" and a few episodes later when Cumpa is sending out the Capital Army he's using the "hostage situation" as an excuse. He doesn't say that's why he allowed that escape to happen, but he says that because the army is rescuing hostages it's a defensive action which means he doesn't need to get approval for it. The viewer is left to connect the dots there. It's something I like a lot about the show.

The G-Reco movies made just as much sense as the show to me. Way I see it, if people are saying the movies made it make more sense then the show then that's just a natural effect of experiencing the story a second time around. Particularly since specific details about what was confusing in the show and clear in the movies typically aren't provided. Srice fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Dec 6, 2023 |
