Its post-High School and the whole environment, and especially work environment is geared towards Mature storytelling. Yes, there is some Shojou elements to be had, but overall, I think it could be targeted at Jusei ideography without any problem.

I uh...
yeah, I liked Simoun a lot. OST gave me a lot of feels too.
Also TYPE-MOON wideface infection is the most amusing thing I've seen since yesterday. They should totally run that if they make another Carnival Phantasm.
Ume-sensei still doin' the Lord's work, I see.

Possibly, although that's kind of how people sit on stairs. Meanwhile, the one in the third episode is extremely deliberate.
Older than when the titans first appeared, but glad to see someone else is keeping an eye out for news on the project. Wonder when in 2014 it'll be released, though.

I would watch a Precure show immediately if it was designed by Ume-sensei. Until then or if I'm up to it, it'll be on the backlog.

Which means this show is doing its job. Well done, Nagahama.

I do not think I want to see live action titans.
It can still be amazing/"amazing" if it uses kaijuu suits and scale models instead of CG, but we all know that'll never happen.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Heartcatch Precure 01-03:
Pros:
- Good setup
- Good characters
- Decent animation/expressions
Cons
- Deliberate flat/weightless art style
- Tuxedo Mask-esque character
- Music not quite as catchy
The art style is definitely deliberate and has some good expressions, but I'm not a huge fan of the very flat styling. It gives the characters no sense of weight, they never feel like gravity is ever an obstacle. I also dislike the inclusion of a Tuxedo Mask wannabe, as I never liked him in Sailor Moon either. It really detracts from the whole magical girl setup where some random dude's gotta step in and save the main girl from herself 'cause she's just so darned clumsy esp. at the start, a pitfall which Smile Precure thankfully never fell into.
However the characters are enjoyable, and it will be interesting to see how they keep the dynamic interesting with just two Precures (granted, that's moreso the norm for Precure as I understand it, so I'm an outlier starting with Smile).

yeah, but the kind of themes going on in the story, it immediately comes to mind, I think new evidence suggests clearly something deliberate happening though!
It's going to look terrible no matter what due to the necessity of titan/human interaction. The only way it could "work" in live-action is in a high-budget Hollywood film.

You will eat your words.
Mysterious guy is a lot less prominent than in Sailor Moon, to be fair. Also the payoff with that character is great.
I guess Umakoshi's style is not for everyone, but his character designs will shine through in the battle choreography. Hopefully you will learn to like them at that level.

Just my impressions so far. It's not like I'm dropping the show.
Well so long as it's not as frequent as in Sailor Moon I guess that'll be alright, esp. if there's a payoff for that in the long run. I hope I end up liking his style more in this than I did in Saint Seiya Omega. It's not a BAD style, and I can see why people like it, it's just not my thing.
Please

Did you have similar problems with Doremi? That's if you have watched it, of course.

Yes.
I'd love it.

Well this is definitely not bad either!
Nah, don't worry about it, I'm glad someone brought it up again so it could get a bit of discussion.
What's old is new!
Well, that last part is in fact my point. It's exaggerated since in Code Geass Akito even the early robots can do such stunts as opposed to the more unique models. The video you posted doesn't have a Glasgow jumping around, for example, but only special units like the Lancelot or Guren and other machines with higher performance. I wasn't claiming there were no acrobatics before.
Basically, yes. Having more ground battles is quite nice. I'm definitely on that side of the fence too.
It'll be cheesy and cheap-looking. I'm definitely in!
What about:
Well Damn. Didn't even notice.

The Evangelion tributes/comparisons are only going to get more overt as we go. That shot miladesn posted, for example, is rife with insinuations about further twists.
Is there a Kaworu~like character?
Sure. Why not.

This was pretty much a 1:1 manga to anime adaptation, same jokes , same thing , same characters.
It was alright.
Alice is a nice character ..but the fact that anime only viewer are missing the entire plot arc regarding her circustances, motives and past activites should probably make her hollow.
Rest assured everyone ! She is great.

I'm pretty sure F/Z wouldn't have been nearly as good if it used wideface so.... no. I don't think so.

What about:
A number of monster movies and robot shows feature very similar shots of big, heavy things crushing into the ground e.g.
As such, I'd normally write it off because it really could be a coincidence but as it's so similar and when coupled with everything else it forms a pattern.
Notably the left tree placement and the small structure breaking apart on the right in both are the giveaways to the shot being an homage.

The gifs are even timed well the second time it runs through!
