GimmickMan posted:Do not listen to them, Divers is offensively bad to think and talk about with how nobody could be afforded to spare a brain cell on the plot, worldbuilding and characterization. Zeta's middle section is so mind-numbingly dull even I dropped it which says a lot considering that I'm isekai thread OP. apparently it gets really good but if it takes 30 to 40 episodes to do that it's not worth it

Also Magee revealing that he and Shahryar had a one-night stand is equivalent wrt characterization with the entirety of Try. Stardust Memory is actually the worst thing that I've ever finished. The fact that it looks pretty good just makes how offensively nonsensical the plot and characters are even worse.

Gripweed posted:In retrospect I do kinda enjoy the fact that the central mystery of Divers, Sara, is a mystery only to the audience. She's not a mystery to the characters because they straight up do not care. A strange psychic girl shows up with no Gunpla in the game about having a Gunpla, and they don't even think to question it. I mean they straight-up state that lots of people don't even log in with gunpla, they just log in to socialize with friends.

Gripweed posted:She also has no friends, knows nothing about and doesn't care about Gundam, and despite not having a Gunpla the few times she initiates a conversation it's usually about someone else's Gunpla. I have about 30 hours in FF14 the majority of which was spent wandering around solo ignoring game content and playing dress up (Ive not even gotten to HW yet) so like that's actually pretty relatable ngl

The AI plot in divers is dumb but also only exists in like four episodes of a two-cour show and the fight in the last episode was really good The rest of the show has kind of a boring plot but is perfectly fine, has some fun characters (magee, sharyhar), has a really good character arc with ayame and a decent one for k01, has a bunch of good fights and, and has some of the best robot designs in the franchise. The ending I agree had a dumb premise but the rest of the show is pretty enjoyable and even the ending bits have some good fights and character moments.

also "are we going to eliminate this entity that we don't even agree is actually living or sentient and to us it's just an amalgamation of bugs in order to save the world that we love (and keeps us employed)" is kind of less dumb than "is it ethical to try and destroy the entire population of earth"

spoilers, trying to eliminate the entirety of Earth's current population is a bad thing and they tend not to be successful with this

remember how the G Lucifer is probably the most advanced suit in any timeline and straight-up uses moonlight butterfly but like actually does nothing of importance whatsoever and is a 1500 cost in versus 2

remember also that the technology range in g-reco is from "just discovered the beam saber" to "suit with giant funnels, minovsky flight entirely in its legs/feet, and moonlight butterfly" this huge range of technology is kind of the point, as is demonstrating that the super advanced weapons are useless without someone who knows how to use them

okay there are three seasons of igloo but the third season is called igloo 2 which is where my confusion comes from The first three episodes of igloo are the giant war ending supercannon that immediately becomes obsolete and manages to blow up a single ship at the cost of a dude's life, the hildolfr episode, and the zudah episode The next three episodes are season 2 and are just pure Zeon apologia and kind of suck even if I love the oggo The final three episodes are season 3 or igloo 2 and are from the federation side and are actually pretty drat good

season 2 definitely sucks but also season 2 was like tacked on after season 1 saw success rather than being planned for when making the first three episodes

chiasaur11 posted:83 is terrible, but it's pretty and terrible, while IGLOO looks uglier than homemade sin. 83 is quite possibly my least favorite anime ever made. I have also watched anime that have made me physically ill before. I would still put 83 below them just because of how much it wasted my time. If anything the fact that it's pretty and has good designs just makes it all that much worse because they could have been extremely good instead of absolute poo poo. Also I actually enjoyed how the later parts of igloo looked especially the mech fights on land. But I also grew up with beast wars and other terrible CG shows so ymmv. By middle of Zeta I mean up until 33 or so. Where it's a lot of faffing around doing nothing while murdering every female character it can because ??? Try is Build Fighters if you took away everything fun about it, only had a handful of interesting characters and gave them all maybe 15 minutes of screen time between them, made the fights boring and all end the exact same way, and somehow managed to do literally no character development for the main characters beyond the female protags arc of "what if I removed all of my agency from any situation and had my Gundam literally turn into an equipment upgrade for the main character" everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Sep 10, 2020 |

oh Mars Zeon is distinct from the other one I'm pretty sure there was like a Martian Zeon faction that used to occupy Mars and then the one in AOZ is ReZeon which is a totally distinct zabi splinter group following Alicia Zabi who may or may not actually be a Zabi and they're both at conflict with ReZeon having taken over Mars in the meantime (and also assimilating a bunch of Titans technology hence the inle) I guess at some point ReZeon gets defeated by the other Mars Zeon faction or something. there's a bunch of volumes of this out now and this is the first time anybody's attempted to translate it into English as far as I know so everybody's knowledge about this is incredibly vague but hopefully things will be better explained as time goes on and we get to later chapters also hi i did the script editing for that chapter
