ImpAtom posted:The opening bothers me largely because not only is it recycled animation (which is fine) but it is poorly recycled animation. The shot choices they made barely fit the song and it ends up looking really really low-effort. I mean I skip the opening mostly at this point but still. I don't skip the opening because I love the song, much more so than the ending which most everyone else seems to far prefer, but yea, I never really watch the opening - just leave it on in the background while I do something else for a minute.

Maarak posted:A show that pushes the limits of its budget by trading fluid animation for great backgrounds, keyframes, and composition is doing everything right. The OP might as well be all text on a black background. Yeah, it's very much not a priority for the limited resources of the production team, a new OP would be a nice surprise but is so incidental to the actual show that I really don't care or mind if they stick with this one for the whole run.

The only complaint I have with the OP is they need to update the footage for the next arc.

What's a lot rarer is taking the time to watch the ending. Very few anime had endings good enough for me to watch theme every time. This is one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCg0JyuJQug

I've been skipping the G-Reco OP sometimes since while the music is nice the way they use recycled animation really does not go well with the song. I definitely watch the ED every single time though! It's so catchy.

Me and my roommate watch the OP because we're too lazy to skip through it honestly, but the ED we watch specifically for Mask's high-kick. He really gets that leg up there and it's beautiful.

The episode director for this week's episode is Tetsuro Araki, famous for directing Death Note and Attack on Titan (and infamous for directing Guilty Crown). So have a brief article about that and G-Reco in general!quote:Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of the Mobile Suit Gundam series and director of the currently airing installment Gundam: Reconguista in G, has an unfortunate reputation for being cranky and difficult to work with. He nonetheless has a large fanbase, among them Tetsurō Araki, director of hit anime series like Attack on Titan, Guilty Crown and Death Note. Araki recently asked Tomino about working with him, and to his delight, he accepted, handing Araki episode directing duties for Gundam Reconguista's tenth episode. Tomino being incredibly particular about storyboards is cool, and really explains why the choreography in the show has been consistently stellar.

This Araki's done some OK-ish work (even if it mostly amounts to accurately conveying source material and making it shinier without significantly enhancing its quality), but I always get disappointed when I see his name in an anime post and realise it's not talking about the other Araki. C'mon, Tomino, you've got the sparkles, the poses, and the rainbow palette. Why not go all the way?

Looks like Aida's still a terrible pilot! It feels like the direction is slightly different, too, in that the mobile suits were treated a bit more like they were directing humans rather than big machines, which was a little odd. It's still packed with those little animation touches that this show is so good at, which makes me wonder how many of those storyboard changes Tomino wanted were adding little things in shots. My favourite was probably Bellri waving at another suit, and the G-Self's arm visibly doing the same thing in the cockpit cameras. Red Bones fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Nov 28, 2014 |

Most shows would just keep that sort of animation static but they went the extra mile, and I love it. Raraiya was also really frisky in some of her animations too.

Anyone notice Rariya was staring pretty drat hard at the space elevator while they were on the way to the Megafauna? She's definitely getting more coherent, and I'm wondering if the "Noredo's House!" thing was just to get her closer to the Space elevator.

The animation this episode was quite good but the change in style made it hard to tell what was the G-Self being normal and what was the G-Self acting unusual I can't tell if it DBZ zwee-fighting was because of its boosted output (seemingly in response to Bellri's emotions), something it can normally do or a side-effect of equipping the backpack.

One of the best episodes yet, and it did not even have Klim Nick or Mick Jack, I want to see more of Araki's scripts now! But they return next episode so I'm excited.

Yeah that ridiculous punch near the end definitely felt like how Araki would do things. I'd have noticed that even if I didn't know about the episode director in advance.

I know we're seeing the glorious debut of the Jahannam Space Type, but did you catch whether Mick's using the Hecate or the Armorzagan? C'mon, people, the Bigro Zam's cool, but you promised us a Dom wielding a Gatling gun with a beam chainaxe bayonet. Quit holding out on us.

The Capital is the only country on Earth that's supposed to have those sorts of capabilities, anyway. They've just started using their powers for evil. And holy hell, they were pushing the Japanese-remilitarisation-is-kinda-creepy angle this episode. A bunch of manchildren going off to war in samurai-themed giant robots to a chorus of 'banzai's? Yyyep.

Loved seeing them tying them on to their heads. Favorite moment though was probably Aida turning just before she's attacked by the Wuxia, and her rifle hopping off a tree. She really needs to get a smaller one. Also, Kerbes or whatever his name is seems to be hitting it off with Aida. With them noting that Bellri is adopted and possibly Aida's sister, that could develop in to a fun little relationship.

Not really. They speculated last episode about rumors that Bellri was adopted and despite Bellri having twigged a connection to Aida in the first episode, we're now over a third of the way through the show with them having spent time together every episode and there's no real romantic tension there as of yet. With Kerbes taking an immediate shine to Aida, and Aida treating the guy more friendly than she does Bellri already, presumably because there isn't the specter of a dead friend looming between them I would actually be surprised at this point if they did turn in to a romantic thing.
