Mighty Dicktron posted:Man, this show is actually gorgeous. This is the nicest-looking 3D anime I've ever watched. They're not using it to approximate 2D, they're using it to its fullest extent to make the movement super fluid and expressive all the time. It looks great. Right? The running scene was fantastic.

That was a bit disappointing, not in terms of the story or anything. I wanted to see Phos succeed at something for once, but she wasn't able to.

She could've like...ran to tell someone at the very least. I get the impression that her ability to photosynthesize is reduced with the new legs. She didn't seem able to recover from exhaustion at all.

Ccs posted:Why do the gems even go out patrolling when it's not winter? They're much safer if they stay by sensei in the complex. Instead they go running out around the fields where they can be picked off much easier by the lunarians. Maybe things somehow get worse if they're allowed to warp in uncontested?

Lestaki posted:I don't believe anyone on God's green earth can meaningfully speak for the identity of the rock elementals animated by... whatever an Include is. I also don't see how referring to Phos as any pronoun has any particular consequence, as a result. If this was Wandering Son or whatever I would be on board with this thesis but Hoseki no Kuni is not that show and I don't get why this is a hill people are dying on. Sorry. In other translations, they are referred to as Inclusions, which in rock terminology is any material trapped in a rock during formation.

I can see why they chose to use CGI for this show. They're able to model the fluid dynamics and gem shattering really well. I don't think 2D would have the same sort of effect here.

Given that Sensei referred to the disembodied voices in the floe as sinners, it seems like the oceans are full of the microorganisms that form the Gems. It's only when they are condensed into gem form through some process that they are given life. I'm getting a strong reincarnation vibe here. Maybe only pure souls are able to form gems?

RIP Phos. She still exists technically, but the changes have made her a very distinct character from the previous Phos.

Everything Burrito posted:How much was the alloy and how much was just being alone and having all of that responsibility (and guilt) to deal with. Being around the others was good for Phos. Not to make a corny pun but the alloy did seem to give them more uh...gravity though. She's also lost a good chunk of her memories and therefore personality.

It's interesting to see the gems act this way toward Phos whereas previously they were shown to be uncurious toward pretty much everything.

EagerSleeper posted:I'm pretty sure this isn't a surprise to anyone, but I guess the Lunarians may be functioning on some form of summoning. That's why they aren't afraid to 'die' because they're still out on the moon, and will just come right back in a couple of days. It's possible that they have an entire civilization and the moon is basically just a gem mining outpost. I wouldn't be surprised if Sensei is actually a Lunarian.
