Ugh yes, at first I thought it was a great melody, then after the 50 thousandth time it's like jfc I get that it's plot relevant but you don't have to sing it in every episode multiple times. It's okay though. Ranka makes up for it by flying into the middle of a battlefield singing Seikan Hikou in a variable fighter strapped with speakers, effectively "disarming" the Zentradi there.

True Name: simplechild	Seoulbowz Jul 7 2015, 10:22 PM Captain Planet Jul 7 2015, 01:02 AM Did so. First episode seemed... padded, to put it lightly. Content is fine, but it's clear that it could have been shortened to maybe 18 minutes instead of 24. I dunno, I think it was definitely slow at some points but I don't think any of it was strictly unnecessary. Also I finished watching all the premiers I missed while I was on vacation, now. I feel like Gatchaman had the strongest of the shows I'm watching, and Durarara had the weakest, idk what it is about season 2 that makes it so hard to watch. Still waiting on the God Eater premier, though. It's not that the content itself was unnecessary in any means, it's just that my perception of how time progresses through the episode feels stretched. Maybe I'm just not used to people having such deliberately paced conversations in anime, and the stiff animation certainly doesn't help in that regard. Continuing with more first episodes, Aquarion Logos seems like a huge miss. You know those kinds of shows where you can't tell whether you should be taking a setting seriously like the characters are? I feel as if Logos is the Captain Earth to EVOL's Star Driver in that regard, if that made any sense whatsoever.

That actually makes a surprising amount of sense. And I haven't even watched Logos. Also, is Aimo Frontier's Planet Dance?

Between that and the censorship, I think I'll skip this one for now and watch it when the BDs come out when, hopefully, the art will have been touched up as well. At least the OP and ED are good. Watched Charlotte as well. The MC is a ripoff of Lelouch so far lol

It's like if you took something like Ar Tonelico, removed the wide selection of Hymmnos tracks and replaced them all with 1 song that's only 1:30 long. Quote: Also, is Aimo Frontier's Planet Dance? Is Planet Dance an overplayed magical plot relevant song? Then yes. Quote: TLR Darkness' second season has garbage art, wtf happened.

I hope Xebec's just saving their budget so they can make their other shows look better(like Fafner).

The humor reminds me of Detroit Metal City in terms of exploiting inappropriate topics and the comedic timing, but it's definitely going for a campy, dramatic angle with the delivery. There's a lot of golden one-liners and hilarious/distressing jumps in logic throughout the manga and I'm looking forward to seeing how they're all handled, but I definitely understand how niche this will be despite the hype.

Still solid though.

Yeah, like, it was a cute watch, but... There was a lot more that could have been done with the concept and in more creative ways. =/ But I checked it off my list, so there's that at least.

Unfortunately I had something major spoiled for me but I think I can appreciate the series regardless. 7 episodes into it now. Also can't stop listening to the second Frontier op, it's 2good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWnDqeXMhA

I already kek'd when "Are you frustrated?" came up. I gather that's a regular thing. 8D It reminds me of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in space. I'm only 2 eps in though, I gotta catch up with Silvy. 8D

It has influence from real events, but doesn't forget to have that dramaticism to make the story feel more engaging than say, reading a history textbook. I like how the internal conflicts within the Empire and FPA have so much importance within the story, in addition to the war itself. You have political corruption within the FPA's "freedom" and "democracy", but you also see a lot of conflict within the Empire, particularly with its strong honor code. It makes both sides of the war feel pretty fleshed out so far. Spoilers for LoGH ep 7 This battle went a little too smooth, but it's obviously setting up for some intense stuff later so I don't mind. The part where Yang wipes out over 1000 ships with Thor's hammer really shows a level of maturity to the writing in that he clutches his heart and looks absolutely devastated at what he did. He realizes that even though that's a "good" thing for his side, he just wiped out thousands of lives in an instant, regardless of which side they are on.

peytral pls Posts: 15,452 Group: Sol Clan Member #459 Joined: March 18, 2009 Gender: Miserable pile of secrets Blog: Ab Animo Pario Country: #0# True Name: Peytral Aznable	Nanoha isn't long though, unless you're talking about the whole franchise, which is "long". Also yeah, LoGH is "slow" which mostly just means that it gets a lot better after episode 25 or so. Did Satty watch the movie?

Would recommend if you want mecha magical girls, lots of action, and yuri. Apparently the movie that covers the first season is better so you could watch that if you don't mind loli nips, but it does have loli nips.
