100% agreement with Big Leg, the end of the show really is special. perfect mood with star + tylor drinking together in the dark, decommed bridge. a lot of the little scenes with all the crew members getting invitations to rejoin are awesome too (helmsman, flyboy and the twins lol). excited to catch the ovas next

it's got a very kind heart for a show where 75% of the run time is a dude staring blankly into space while people around him go insane.

i'll probably watch the ovas sometime this week. is the 2017 show worth watching at all? it has incredibly bad numbers on mal and anilist, but it also looks like it would only take an hour to get through it.

I heard some people really disliked the Tylor OVAs and I’m curious to hear why.

The 2017 show has a 3.88 average rating on MAL. Even your average dogshit isekai gets above a 5, usually above a 6, so that should say a lot...

The 2017 stuff is real real bad. Like don't taint your memories bad.

I'll have the poll up tomorrow. I had a long weekend of soccer and work.

he thought quoting borges would make him popular
I love a good show with an unalloyed Good message, that maybe peace is a good thing and societies need nonconformists in order to evolve and advance. (At first I couldn't figure whether Vice Admirals Statler and Waldorf were referring obliquely to evolution or a genuine sociological phenomenon among tribes of apes, but I guess it doesn't matter.)

Another underplayed but omnipresent thing I enjoyed about Tylor is that even while the conflict is portrayed as "republic vs. empire", the UP are hardly pure and are just as imperialistic at heart. (Note to myself: gotta rewatch LoGH too.) We really don't know anything about the governance of the UP; the highest-up the chain we see are the two admirals in charge of executing the war. But you can look at Mifune's old-school 'samurai' affectations and Fuji's ascendance due to being a careerist climber and understand well enough what sort of dynamics are at play.

you forgot the best XXX3 show, Brain Powerd. I voted majestic prince because i heard absolutely nothing about it before playing SRW30, but only under protest.

the other choices are pretty popular that most voters probably already watched it, so Majestic Prince is not a surprising frontrunner atm

Looks like we will be watching Kino's Journey aka Kino no Tabi

From MaL:

quote:

Kino, a 15-year-old traveler, forms a bond with Hermes, a talking motorcycle. Together, they wander the lands and venture through various countries and places, despite having no clear idea of what to expect. After all, life is a journey filled with the unknown.

Throughout their journeys, they encounter different kinds of customs, from the morally gray to tragic and fascinating. They also meet many people: some who live to work, some who live to make others happy, and some who live to chase their dreams. Thus, in every country they visit, there is always something to learn from the way people carry out their lives.

It is not up to Kino or Hermes to decide whether these asserted values are wrong or right, as they merely assume the roles of observers within this small world. They do not attempt to change or influence the places they visit, despite how absurd these values would appear. That's because in one way or another, they believe things are fine as they are, and that "the world is not beautiful; therefore, it is."



It is only 13 episodes so the watch schedule is:

March 1-5: Episodes 1
March 6-12: Episodes 2-4
March 13-19: 5-7
March 20-26: 8-10
March 27-31: 11-13


Edit: Oops,

It is available on HiDive, if you go through Prime in the US Here:

Kino's Journey is a fun romp, especially from the perspective of someone who has never watched it before.

I also love the OP
