At the very least the story seems more ambitious than recent KyoAni efforts.
I can't say anything about the video quality because I don't have an eye for those things, but it's never bothered me. The subs are fine in terms of translation, and while it does freeze up sometimes, though that can often be solved by reloading the page, and the simulcasts can be a bit delayed sometimes, it's the best legal option out there. I want more people to use it.
Even that is a million times more ambitious than Free! and Tamako.
How does one define a "better" show anyhow? I've always liked the theory of reviewing that a show should be judged according to how it accomplished what it was trying to do.
I will take what I can get. To be more precise I find myself horribly bored of KyoAni's tone in recent works and this at least has the possibility to step outside of what they normally do.
Concerned about the damn Twins =/ It was 22, but it also started much later in the season.
As someone who hasn't seen the original Yamato or Starblazers, the style of the song itself evokes nostalgia for a simpler period of television. So yeah, I can see thinking it was made to be of the period.
Yamato sort of sits in this weird middle ground. So the idea of being "out of range" of Earth is there, even though theoretically, even leaving Earth orbit would being to introduce lag in their communications.
I think I got used to subs only because that was the only way I could watch Chinese movies at the time. Back in the ancient times when Hong Kong was still a British protectorate, I guess movie makers were required to put English subtitles on all their movies (or maybe it was just for the benefit of whatever white dudes lived in HK? Who knows). So growing up with Stephen Chow or Chow Yun Fat or Andy Lau, it basically meant I both listened to and read all my movies. Fun times. lol
What the fuck happens in Diabolik Lovers!?
