Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox - 01

Decided to pull this out of my backlog and give the first episode a shot before getting back to Nanoha A's. So-so opener, though Nobunaga is hot so I'll definitely continue watching. Here's hoping there's some yuri in the future.

 

[Kyon]

WTF how many episodes of DokiDoki did i miss? Where did Cure Ace come from????????????????????

Also that attack is pure homage to Sailor Moon lol

Monogatari S2 Episode 01

Sure is monogatari up in here. Which is to pretty much say I liked this episode quite a bit despite the lack of Arararagi. The show and all its quirky characteristics hasn't seemed to have skipped a beat and I'm pretty happy about that since I've always been a fan of those things in this series. Hanekawa taking on the role as the pseudo-protagonist for this episode was an interesting change of pace.

But man.

I'm a fan of short hair on girls just as much as the next guy but I sure do miss the glasses/twintail design for Hanekawa. That particular combo is my kryptonite.

yo damn Cure Ace's transformation is cool once you get past the plastic shit at the beginning.

The

silhouette

stuff toward the beginning is a concept they've never used before. Neat.

The beginning remind me first of fresh , then of Yes precure gogo milky rose , and then the middle remind me of sailor moon , and the end remind me of heartcatch moonlight.

Have i watched too many magical girl shows ?

bio

mecha with Yoshida character designs about a boy who gets caught up with a group of eccentrics in an airship who house a mysterious girl who holds the key to ending a global conflict.

That does sound oddly familiar.

Might as well watch the movie too..

Isn't the movie Alt U? Hmmm.

*looks back over CorvoSol's posts about E7*
Ahahahahahahaha please stop watching now if you want your memories to survive.

(Also it still amuses me how much you hated Eureka's kids. They weren't that bad.)

Just don't look at my impressions of Eureka Seven until after like, episode 11 to be safe. I was so damn wrong about that show prior to episode 11 that it just isn't funny.

And Eureka's hellspawn are the worst. I hate them and their rat guts so much. I would not be surprised for an instant if the oldest grew up to be like Katz from Zeta Gundam and

flew into an asteroid after stealing the G-Defenser one time too many.

Eureka's curs are awful. The show managed to give me many, many good characters, but those shitstains were not among 'em.

Sailor Moon.

I mean, where negative space creates the silhouette.

...except she also uses Burning Mandala halfway through her transformation for some reason, so there is that :lol

No such thing.

If someone says this and they've watched all of Max Heart, they're lying.

I wanna hear who's behind the project before getting excited.

 

[Kyon]

Since last year i've been wanting to make a Magical Girls thread... Or maybe a blog or something. So underrated tbh Sailor Moon started and slayed childhoods then besides Precure general animu folks mostly only seen Madoka. MADNESS.

We need to expose them more to the ICONICOGRAPHY and FLAWLESSNESS that is BEAUTIFUL LADY SOLDIERS SAVING THE PLANET

I wanna hear who's behind the project before getting excited.

Takeuchi needs to oversee everything. I dont want her to not have only control of the manga like before

 

[madp]

Ace's transformation device is literally Milky Rose's plastic shit with the mirror from the Heartcatch Mirage superglued to the top. lol

 

[Jarmel]

Actually, here's a small nitpick:

Kyoda was the series director of both Eureka 7 and E7 AO, not the writer. He also directed and wrote the movie.

But the underlying point, which is that none of the writers from E7 TV (Dai Sato included) came back, is right.

My understanding is that Kyoda either came up with some the concepts or did some of the writing in addition to the director's role. He had some influence on the writing. Duckroll can clarify either way.

Jarmel on whether E7: Ao's writer was the primary creative force for the original series:

Enough said.

Well on reflection I was wrong and misunderstood the true goal of the show. I can honestly say that AO was an experience.

I agree they deserve an OT but it may not go over so well with certain posters..

He may well have done some of that, but he's not formally credited for it as a writer, at least as far as I can tell.

 

[FelixOrion]

That reminds me. I've heard AO is bad. Kinda want to watch.

What's Xam'd?

Basically just a pallette swap of E7

I'm gonna be the voice of dissent here and say that the "serious" portions of Sailor Moon that have been the closest to the manga have, so far, been the most unremarkable to me. I like the rest of the package a lot more, and as such I don't know if the show would appeal to me in the same way without the more comedic aspects of it.

I haven't read the manga, though, so who knows.

 

[Defuser]

Okay, I found a second source that says "Psycho-Pass S2 or OVA accidentally announced at Production IG Panel!" (emphasis mine)

So keep your expectations in check until this gets officially confirmed one way or the other.

edit: handful of other Twitter reports from the I.G panel -- one just says "More Psycho-Pass confirmed by production IG"; another notes that Ishikawa said S2 "hadn't been announced" and then later simply reported "Psycho Pass 2 confirmed."

Hell yeah! More Supercell Egoist songs!

Assuming "serious" means "close to the manga" is dangerous in Sailor Moon.

But I mean every word. I don't even regret watching Max Heart. Heck, Episode 36 was one of my favourite Precure episodes I've seen so far.

Yes he's definitely not credited formally as a writer.

Nope. It would have been better if it actually had been.

Xam'd was the closest to being a spiritual sequel to E7 from BONEs but they royally fucked up past ep.14 even though there were problems earlier on.

Hope theyre active in Fall.

Who would oppose the #1 genre in anime?

This is true... the comedy was a really big appeal with the anime. But sometimes I felt like the more serious tone wasn't highlighted as much overall.

Right in my feels from the get go.

 

[Hitokage]

For instance, pure heart crystals were an Ikuhara invention, and much of the way the S story and ending play out is Ikuhara.

Dont waste Bunny Drop. use it like healing potion in between episodes of AO.

My local library has some of the manga. It might be worth it to check it out.

 

[CorvoSol]

Maybe its a reference to my current show list. I have CG Gundams, an unliked E7 sequel, Glass Fleet, Attack on Pacing and Sucktastic Punks. So currently Bunny Drop does kinda shine.

 

[cnet128]

He just finished Utena this week.

Utena is good, but also a mindfuck, so it feels like a Corvo show regardless of quality.

Usagi Drop is just plain good.

I can't even touch library manga; it takes two seconds to think about the hands they've gone through and who those hands belong to. Ick.

I dare someone to gif the entire Cure Ace sequence cause damn my PC cant handle iT

Oh fuck, Corvo's watching Glass Fleet now? Dammit, now I'm gonna have to get into some sort of rhythm with this piece of crap to stay ahead of him.

Yeah but I kind of had to get over that for utility's sake. I def. have some germaphobia issues
