ARE YOU KIDDING ME

FUCK THIS STUPID SHOW

THIS MAKES SAO LOOK LIKE THE SMARTEST ANIME IN YEARS

If SAO = Kotaku levels of hack writing, then Aldnoah Zero = Polygon, this series is a god damn joke and makes most of the bad anime I've seen in the past 2 years look 10x better


I keep saying this show is the dollar store brand of Code Geass cola.

This new arc with a Victorique getting a cold wasn't as exciting, mostly because the crime was quite straightforward with the motive and not much hiding the evidence. The new characters were interesting

But what did 64 thousand people on MAL think of it?

I did like the scene where Chihaya found that album of her that had the clipping from the article and the picture she did as a model for Kana-chan. Reinforces that her parents actually do care about her and are proud of her. It's just that unlike her sister, she doesn't need the constant lavishing of praise and is independent and can handle these things on her own. That said, it wouldn't hurt to give her a little acknowledgement and encouragement once in a while.

And once again, it comes back to Arata.

It's so strange and random, and I like it.
 
I really want to type out a great response to this, but I'm camping, so I can't. I think you're dead on about G being more or less the only major departure from series conventions, though. X is sort of just a what if on MSG, Wing feels like a highlights version of MSG-CCA, and SEED and AGE are almost straight recaps of UC. Only 00 seemed different at first, and S2 becamea terrible retread of Zeta.

Although I loved GBF, I kinda think the entire genre needs something big to kickstart it.

Don't worry; Tomino is back to save Gundam!

You know boring protagonist
is just going to resuscitate the naked princess with his amazing CPR skills next episode.

that's my thoughts... though it's clear the writers
don't have a real grasp on how long it takes people to die given how long the scene with the guy in the fire went on :p
 
Tomino has said some interesting things over the past few days...

Gundam creator isn’t making his new series for you, doesn’t care if you don’t like it

- “Preexisting fans of Gundam won’t be able to understand it…I’m not making this for you, so please show it to your children and grandchildren, instead.”


Gundam's Tomino Thinks Young Voice Actors All Sound the Same

- "All of the young voice actors had been contaminated by currently trendy anime. All of their voices sounded the same to me, so the first order of business was to break them of those habits."

- According to Tomino, current voice acting adds too much flare and he was looking for actors whose voices sounded natural.

-The director also reached back in time to retcon his approval of Syd Mead's mechanical designs in Turn A Gundam.

Interesting backstory for the Inspector and his love and his hair. Though there seems to be pointless drama between Victorique and Grevil
 
Welcome back hehee.
What sort of shows do you have in mind?

<3

I have Kanon to watch. After that I don't know. i threw a few interesting looking series into My Anime List. I'm not sure what to watch after Kanon, any recommendations would be nice.

Recent but not super recent so I can binge at least a couple seasons would be preferable.

This is super worrisome. I'm going to get Tomino'd again.

As a result, Tomino is pinning all of his hopes on the next generation of grown-ups, claiming that the issues raised in G-Reco regarding how resources are procured and used will raise young viewers’ consciousness of these problems. “In 10 years, you’ll see them starting to take action. I think I’ve sown the seeds for that.”

I hope G-Reco isn't going to turn out like Arjuna, with screechy, preachy environmental messages spewed around everywhere. That doesn't do service to anyone.

I can see where Tomino comes from with his comments about voice actors though. I like it when a series uses natural voice acting, such as in Flowers of Evil or Mushishi, instead of the hyper-stylized voice acting you get in most anime.

I think it looks like he's pre-covering his ass so that if G-reco gets blasted then he can fall back on that.

Still though, it's probably good that he's making a new Gundam for a new generation. They need that next wave, imo.

Although maybe Build Fighters already accomplished that.
