Rin-Ne No Lagrange S2 Final

Goodbye, my pretty little show. It's hard to say what I liked most about this show. It was colorful, the music was pretty, the characters endearing, the plot entertaining and the overall message upbeat. In fact, I think that's what I liked most: everything was upbeat, in spite of the moral ambiguity of a great number of situations. So often shows, particularly mecha, seem bogged down by their wish to tell a compelling war story that they instead become a pretentious, posturing tale that isn't worth watching at all. It was a bit sad to see two chief problems just kind of handwaved away in the finale of this show, though.

Ah, well, it was still a great show and I'm sad it is over. Here's hoping I get to relive it all in a SRW game someday.

MARU will live on forever.

God, I've had the busiest week ever. Shit's insane.

I heard the latest episode of Tamako Market was extremely good. Is it true?

Guilty Crown 's problem was the horrible story, everything else was pretty good, so I guess that's a promising list as far as production and quality are concerned.

As if the writer here doesn't have the ability to write a poor story as well.

Considering the guy did Jojo, I have little to fear as he took the plot straight from the manga. You can tell he's a purist.

Anyway who is doing the OT for this? I might want to take a shot at it.

One pick I don't see anyone discussing is Hiroyuki Sawano. I didn't find their work on GC that impressive. Really the best part of the OST was ryo's work on the main songs.

Guilty Crown 's problem was the horrible story, everything else was pretty good.

It was also an original production though, which means the director still had more creative input than he would in an adaptation. Can't really avoid giving Tetsuro Araki some of the blame, to be perfectly honest, under those circumstances.

But in this particular case, since Araki is better at adaptations I imagine there shouldn't be any comparable problems with Attack on Titan...unless they suddenly try to come up with a premature ending for the anime instead of just finding a good stopping point.

I like your avatar. You have good taste ;).

Guess it will easily have the best music of the year just need ryo(supercell), chellys voice, and egoist themes (guess its 20 or so episodes)?

I don't think Shingeki even has any good stopping point. Pretty much every chapter is the equivalent of covering the hole in the dyke only for two more to pop up.

Well, if you like it, it must be good!
Maybe I'll try it later.

keep in mind, i took it in a very different way. i didn't take everything at face value. there was something about it that made me think other stuff was going on beneath the surface. episode 5 in particular is probably the most obvious about this.

Yeah, this is what I'm most worried about, and I definitely wouldn't be crazy about an original ending with how many mysteries are popping up constantly.

I'm not at all worried about the staff. The direction will be fine and the writing will just be a mostly straight adaptation.

The original anime-only ending will be that
the titans are humans from our world. The shingeki humans are Lilliputians. It'll end with Eren waking up in WWII Germany.
