Re: Gundam (In All Its Incarnations) Mk. II B/

It's not incomprehensible like G-Reco , but all that is just too much everything for 25 episodes, especially with a named cast this big. If the show was longer, around 50 episodes or so like the older TV Gundams, maybe all of this could've worked within a more rigid arc structure (that's how Metal ...

Re: Breaking the American Mecha Curse

Immortal Grand Prix, Megas XLR and Big Guy and Rusty the boy robot had two seasons. Voltron: Legendary Defender had 8.

And while it hasn't shined in TV or films much, Battletech is a clear institution in gaming.

Rurouni Kenshin 2023 Wholly recommend heading for the high seas for this one. Because reasons. After watching 5 episodes, I'll say the series is crisper, cleaner in animation. Far less reliance on action lines, or spinning camera moves than the 90's series to imply movement. It may be trying to be ...

Re: Voltron: Legendary Defender BP

My capsule review: the first two seasons are some of the best television I’ve ever seen. Then someone got the nostalgia bug and it all went to hell. YMMV, of course. I've seen people rate Season 6 as the high point , partly because we get peak Black Paladin drama; exploration of the Keith-Shiro dyn...

Re: Digimon: Digital Monsters

Oh well, it was more due in part to the very limited knowledge I had of Tamers since I didn't see much except an episode where the school teacher and the co-worker has a crush on her are attacked at night by bad Digimon Pretty sure the Dub manufactured that first part. In the Japanese audio the Tea...

Re: Digimon: Digital Monsters

One time I saw the Tamers second non-canon movie where they try to stop a Digimon train from crashing into somewhere that would be lethal. I liked it even though because it's non-canon, the obvious Takato/Rika chemistry taking place feels like a missed opportunity. Pfft, why would he want to be wit...

Re: Gundam (In All Its Incarnations) Mk. II B/

I mean F91 is just kind of a bad movie in general; wether that's due to it being cut down a bunch of times or the stry outline just never being good in the first place is up for debate (I'm in the latter camp - Cosmo Babylonia is the dumbest, least interesting villain faction in the entire franchis...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

The only Digimon show I've watched any meaningful amount of was Tamers; if I'm not completely mistaken, a good chunk of Eva staff worked on that as well, and it shows. Gets quite dark in places, especially for a show meant to sell a card game to kids. Can wholeheartedly recommend that one I don't k...
