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.

that's what happens when you hand a project over to experienced staff who work with 3dcg on a daily basis and know how to direct it, instead of a guy who has never once worked with 3d in his life but animated several seasons of teekyuu

i like that bort acts super aggressive and constantly tells dia that phos is useless and that they would kick phos' rear end, and then the moment dia runs up and really excitedly tells them that they're going to save phos they're just like "o-oh, i mean, i guess, that's cool"

seriously just ignoring anything about the character designs how the gently caress in the three episodes we have gotten do you come away with the impression that the show doesn't take itself that seriously and is just a "dumb and pretty" show

have you missed the three entire episodes centering around people's depression and feelings of uselessness in a society centering around every person having some sort of utility. it's got lots of goofy and lighthearted character interaction but like the stuff the story is centering around is pretty goddamn personal

i don't remember if the show mentioned it, but the manga has other gems mention the lunarians find phos' color uniquely appealing

they definitely mention it within the first couple eps

Yeah I mean the last episode where everyone dresses up in frilly dresses to sleep and the ice gem person wears stiletto heels made everyone saying how feminine they are look pretty stupid, huh?

Except it kinda literally is wish fulfillment because Japan is extremely strict with enforcing traditional gender roles towards Japanese women. :(

Edit: you can't deny my "Kongo is the only actual gem woman" theory, can you?

dis is being sarcastic

this should just switch from long hair phos to short hair phos



anyway the last time we got into this argument one of the guys arguing the strongest against using gender-neutral pronouns like they or them turned out to be a guy who argued that sex change operations are bad
