I quite liked Fire Force , both seasons. It's a more or less normal shounen action stuff elevated by good direction and visuals. That said, if one is allergic to most tropes typical in those sorts of anime, good old fire can throw all the nice effects animation and fanservice it wants, it won't chan...

Nice to see those two extra minutes, liked them more than the entire fight sequence. Still can't get behind he CG, but whatever, it's just something that's clearly going to be present in a big percentage of the movie.

As someone that likes Victory (the only person here, it seems), I look forward with pain and curiosity to see what you will think of it at the end Blockio.

the aforementioned Turn A (despite what some people will tell you, you do not have to have seen "all of Gundam before it" to understand it, that's a late series meta-subplot that barely matters to the show itself) It's not about understanding, it's about it working as a sort of thematic c...

I've also heard that a lot, but frankly I never noticed that, and I've seen(and liked) all the Gundams he directed. Some women are pretty wild in his anime, but so are men. And plenty of women fight and have relevant roles in his anime, be they villains or not. Victory can perhaps give that idea, bu...

I'm just going to drop in the Land before Time discussion and leave my couple of cents Even has a 5 year old kid or so I had the distinct notion that the first movie was the best, but, like any good consumerist boy, I eventually got my hands on all the sequels. Every single on except the most recent...

It looked like all ships and even most Gundams were CG. I don't like that at all. 2D mecha series barely even come out, if Sunrise stop doing it in their Gundams then it'll be even closer to death. On a more positive note, the rest of the trailer looks cool, and there's lots of stuff one can do with...

"But the worst part is that it’ll never be the same again." Boy, does that it hard. Studios changing or going under after a decade or so isn't anything new in anime, but the case of Gainax was specially ugly. It's also depressing to think the rights to Gunbuster and Nadia just went to rand...

But, how could she possibly explain to her parents what happened to her? I don’t they would believe what she had been through. Also, there were those kids to look after. Since Sis had died, who will be able to take care of them? I think Sara chose to stay behind as a way to keep her promise for Sis...

Exactly all the characters struggles are in vain and it makes the 'happy ending' just come off as emotionally inauthentic, and hollow. It's a lie that 'life is still worth living' and 'everything will turn out alright when It basically takes the positive outlook of the protagonist to the greatest e...

How was the OP awful? Also, I think it is implied that it’s ten billion years. Right, the message they have at the beginning of every episode. I think it's meant to be at the point when the increase in the Sun's size just kills the Earth with the heat or something. Well, you can't blame...

I felt the ending was a bit hollow and pointless Spoilers for the ending of Now and Then Here and There: One of my only complaints(the other being the awful OP) about the show is that it doesn't show what happens to the protagonist after he comes back. I didn't need much, just a cou...

I saw the first episode and was not impressed. There's nothing wrong in particular, but nothing grabs me either. Good backgrounds, ok CG.

I'll wait and see what the reactions are once 5 episodes or so are out

I should clarify I quite like the work Miyazaki does, and generally I take his statements more has an old guy complaining and venting instead of serious criticism, but like Blockio I'm not even sure what the debate here is even supposed to be?

Miyazaki approaches animation by observing others. In the interview, as Miyazaki sketches, he explains he's able to create art because he spends time watching others. How could one even prove that? Why would he even need too? If you're an animator you're going to look at people for references and t...

Is Attack on Titan good? I found the first season to be incredibly dull. I also was greatly annoyed by the massive overdramatization of every little thing, although I've heard they tone that down in further seasons.(that I didn't watch) It is, however, plentifully in good animation and the OPs are ...

Unfortunately I didn't feel much watching The Day I Became a God, some of the comedy was good, sure, and some of the dramatic moments were ok too, and the loli protagonist was cute, but I left the last episode with just a boring "meh" as my final reaction.

The season is over and not much of interest came out. Still... Sport Climbing Girls - Yet another sow about cute girls doing stuff, this time around te rather obscure activity of climbing walls. Not much to say, although the activity does mean you get to see cute girls in unusual angles, if that is ...

When 3.0 came around I spoiled myself with little concern. I hadn't even seen the rebuild movies at that point. And then so much time passed that when I actually sat and watched the movie I barely remembered any of the spoilers. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but this being the last movie, ...

Why? Why do the evas look like that?

While I agree and have already voiced my dislike of said CG here, it's not like it was any different in the previous rebuilds. Realistically there was no way there wasn't going to be bad CG.
