if it was the same director as zero would the show open with a double-length episode about jack doing nothing

you think saber is boring because you never saw the entire arc where she is actually a character who gets focus and development. she's not the best character in f/sn but she's plenty good when she actually gets to have focus, she's not as relevant as a lead in ubw and fate/zero is kind of just a parade of people making GBS threads on her

i dunno anything about the rest of fate so i can't say anything about any of the other sabers

I've actually played/read through FSN fully. Her arc is interesting and hints at a really complex + tragic person. It's just that she, as a character (and everything that entails), still feels super dull, despite said entire arc.

oh. ok that's fair i guess

the mr. driller lore is just that mr. driller is the girliest boy and constantly gets smacked by his russian girlfriend, his dad is perpetually angry and bitter at being eclipsed by his own son's fame and his mom who divorced his dad spends all her time getting drunk and kissing people while writing novels and raising her youngest child and is also a space war hero who has gunned down dozens of deadly aliens, and that's why mr. driller is the best namco ip ever made

anyway ths is the wrong anime chat gently caress it's 12am

i'm gonna watch it cause it's studio 3hz and i think they've got lots of up-and-coming animators so i'm interested to see how it turns out visually

if anything, the show has a generally good director working on it so i think it'll be an interesting watch

the worst thing he's done that i've seen is the trails in the sky ova and uh, that probably has to do with being an attempt at condensing 2/3rds of the plot of a 60 hour long jrpg sequel into two hours

that also, but i'm just kind of annoyed by people already judging the show as a trainwreck before it's even started airing

I don't really understand what people mean when they call an anime a train wreck.

a way for people to say they like symphogear on sa in 2012 without thinking people will think they're weird

if i like an anime, I'd call it good.

if something is fun and exciting even if the minute-to-minute plot doesn't make much sense, then that's just because they chose to emphasize something other than detailed plotting. while they could have done that in a way that didn't create holes, I can't fault them for using an animated medium to string together a series of cool, interesting animation sequences. That makes it good.

imo the trainwreck meme is just people being very afraid to say they like a show in spite of its plot holes or weirder moments. if you like kabaneri or valvrave or whatever, just say you like them.

Why are people scared of liking Symphogear unironically? I only just recently watched it so I missed previous opinions on the show but I thought it was legitimately good and fun. Was the premise just too silly for them? Was it that really bad scene with Fine and Chris in season 1?

show about magical girls powered by singing wearing revealing outfits broadcasting in 2012, not a cool thing to like on older adtrw

i thought it would suck because originally they described it as resolving a bunch of hanging threads from the original but apparently now it's just it's own thing so idk it could be good

i wish oshiyama was directing instead of just doing mechanical design

they've got a bunch of talented animators doing their first directorial work on it so maybe that part will be interesting even if everything else is stupid

(it would have been cooler if they had gotten a different band to do all the music for it)

i agree, with this

i don't think it's as much that s1 was incoherent as 80% of the show was directly adapted from an almost entirely episodic manga

anyway i'm looking forward to s2 a lot but i'm also a bit wary cause the only stuff i've seen from the new director was pretty plain, the music'll still be great though

white was good and had a lot of good scenes, the problem is just that in a show full of really fun characters, black was absolutely the least interesting and episode 12 was absolutely the weakest for it
