I'm watching episode 2 right now, and I had a reaction to the show eclipsed to another reaction minutes later.

1)that's a hell of a piloting setup

2)even the solo pilot transporter drones have fake butt controls



This show is loving buck wild, and this is only episode 2.

This show is someone hearing Daft Punk's "Robot Rock," getting the lyrics mixed up and deciding make a series about gently caress robots.

I think so? I mean, the show is not exactly subtle about it's themes. If it didn't have anything to say about relationships and sex, why make relationships and sex so central and unavoidable? It would be disappointing to me if the sex stuff was purely superficial style.

Further, the show is deliverately aping Evangelion. It's basically planting a big flag saying "This anime is going to explore Issues"

While this is also fine and good, it's also worth pointing out Eva deliberately chose to portray things a certain way just because it looked cool.


Personally, I've yet to see anything that convinces me the show is gonna get any deeper, but I'll be cool with it surprising me down the line.:shrug:

Vandread was extremely trans positive for a series of it's time.

Vandread was a far better series than I realized at the time, and I liked it then.

Hot take right here:eyepop:


I'm surprised by the direction the show has taken, but it's definitely not a bad one. Guess it makes sense to fully explore these characters before we finally start getting some answers to some of the deeper mysteries of the setting.

I'd say it's an embarrassing use of social media, but instead I'll just nod sadly and say "that's social media."




Also, I have a hot take about this episode. Ichigo is an awful human being. I'm sorry, I can't let it slide. I just can't look at her the same way after she hosed up with that knife. Dude, knife safety when preparing food--even snacks--is a total must.:cmon:


Sorry y'all, just a bridge too far. Dio ain't got poo poo on Ichigo.

On the one hand, death threats are absolutely reprehensible and anyone loving lame enough to throw them down needs to be dunked on mercilessly.



On the other hand, when I think "anime got death threats" I immediately think of End of Evangelion and boy oh boy how loving crazy can FranXX get from here?:shepface:

I think Futoshi is almost there. His last comment in that tantrum was "If you guys are happy...I," so it wouldn't surprise me if his response to their franxxing is anguished support.

I mean, he's been like that since they first started partnering up. Like, he's upset and heartbroken, but he still wants her to be happy.

Dude knows how he should approach the issue, but puberty won't let it go that easy.

I'm enjoying it still and the lack of 'mecha action' is hardly a downside given that that's the most lackluster part of the show.

I did not care for Star Driver. Caught my interest in the first few episodes, and lost it somewhere along the way. FranXX has been much more fun the whole time.

Kill la Kill was less stupid

Disagree in a big way. I've been entertained consistently more than I was on Kill La Kill, where a weird but enjoyable first half turned into....well, whatever the hell you'd call the back half. It felt like a mess to me.

anyway this show got like half a dozen transphobes banned so its good

It's a definite silver lining.


Oh well. I didnt hate this show, but it kinda fell apart in the second half like I felt Kill La Kill did as well. Ikuno's ending was something, but it would have been nice to have her romance be a bit more blunt and less subtle. Also, boy oh boy were the last two episodes' action sequences.............bad.

You're not wrong, but goddamn is it still insane to see this statement and agree with it. When hentai has you beat there has got to be some soul searching done as a writer.
