nielsm posted:Re:Creators: Strong beginning, very much want the next episode soon. The director of Sankarea went on to do Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, which was actually one of the reasons people were so hyped for the latter show - he elevated the hell out of the source material for his first couple of gigs (Sankarea and Rozen Maiden Zuruckspulen), and people wanted to see how he'd do with something actually good.

Grouchio posted:The second episode of Bahamut explained a lot and set up a lot. Presumably, them being demons. Hell wasn't exactly a force for good in the last season. I mean, when you're dealing with the literal forces of darkness, feeling sorry for them is a bit of an effort for most people. Enslaving angels alongside them is unlikely to be good for PR, though, even if Heaven's conduct in the first season wasn't ideal.

Lemon-Lime posted:I'll drop it if they start arbitrarily killing off the kids, but I'm assuming the show is going to be about Bland McHuman finding a way to save them all. The general premise is, apparently, of seeing a war from the perspective of the support staff back home, who have to physically and emotionally patch the front-line troops up between missions. So yeah, there're going to be casualties.

Castle walls atop cliffs were actually a pretty common thing, and you can see a lot of them in a Google image search. Cliffs are huge blind spots that may be a little more climbable than you might hope, so a dozen or so metres of smooth stone topped with murder-holes at the top are a pretty sensible safety precaution. That said, I have no goddamned idea what's up with that random wall pointing directly into the town. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Apr 24, 2017 |

The Glumslinger posted:So I havent paid much attention this season, what would people say is good? Preferably not moe Hope you like sequels, because the big hits for you are likely to be Bahamut, Titan, and Eccentric Family. Not many new properties that'll fit the bill - Sakura Quest might be a little on the moe side for you (depending on whether Shirobako was within acceptable tolerances), and while Re:Creators may be an impressive spectacle eventually, it doesn't seem like it's going to have the writing or directorial chops to really do its excellent premise justice.

If they're a (Tomino) Gundam protagonist, they like 'em older. If they're a (Tomino) Gundam villain, they like 'em younger. Sometimes, this intersects. There's probably a theme somewhere here. Well, apart from ol' Yoshiyuki's fetishes.

Me, I'm just thinking it would be fun if Meteora turns out to be evil. That would be an unusual twist for her kind of character, and would at least justify some of the strange leaps of logic and telling rather than showing that she's been using to get the rest of the cast on-side. Besides, it seems unlikely that Altair is going to be the villain for the entire run, which means we'd need someone to replace her, and lady-Kimblee from the opening seems a little too predictable.

Nipponophile posted:Depends entirely on the writer of the story. I've seen Oda Nobunaga portrayals running the entire spectrum from altruistic super-patriot unifying a shattered nation to literal demon. Ieyasu Tokugawa has been both a shrewd mastermind and a hapless buffoon based on the particular narrative. Right, but I've never seen them portrayed without at least some acknowledgement of the horrific poo poo they got up to, even if it's framed as 'hard men making hard decisions'. Even Nobunaga the Fool, which framed him as a fairly conventional shonen hero, had him do some pretty bizarre and reprehensible things.
