This show does make me think of gundam wing a lot, mainly in how it's only fun when the villians are around.

ViggyNash posted:So did people stop caring about this show after episode 3? It has its issues, but it's still one of the better shows of the season. Now that they're all together, the ensemble cast is proving surprisingly entertaining when the show isn't trying so hard to be serious, and Ei Aoki has gotten a shitload better at action and choreography since Fate/Zero, I'll give him that. I'm having a hard time connecting with it on a deeper level so far, but it's pretty drat compelling when poo poo hits the fan.

King Rayquaza Vase Raybans ordered full-scale war on Earth, right, so where's the earth-shattering kaboom? Sticking to the viewpoint of this little ragtag group(where they're all mostly going through the motions, anyway) is a bit disappointing when it feels like we should be heading into global HOLY poo poo territory. Taking stock, we've gone from invulnerability, to beam katanas to rocket fists? All of which still devastatingly capable of mass murder? This is gonna turn into the Blood-C of mecha anime, isn't it?

Come to think of it, I find it bizarre they never thought to apprehend Trilham's mech and at least attempt to reverse-engineer the technology on-board. Considering what they're dealing with, that seems like the very first thing to try.

Snow Halation posted:The first priority was getting civilians out of there, ASAP. They probably figures they could always come back for the mech, since it wasn't going anywhere. Before it got blown to hell, anyway. Was still for the best they got out of there, as it turned out, but it's still very odd how it hasn't even occurred to anyone to consider it.

This is probably the first anime I've ever seen where the 3DCG looks way better than everything else. I guess maybe Majestic Prince too, what with the Hirai designs.

Great job traumatizing all staff on board, trusted personnel. You really thought it was a great idea to start anybody's training with INVINCIBLE ULTRA MECH? That thing killed tons of people, it'd be horrifying for anyone. I loved the jab about how games look better than stuff the govt/military would have, though. This show just loves piling on the irony. The characters are..well, we're learning a little about them now, at least, but I keep waiting for a breather moment where we can stop, pull back and examine what the hell is happening to the rest of the Earth in the midst of this supposed wartime. Not to mention it's a tad hard to sympathize with Sex Balm when we've seen so little of what Vers is actually like(though it certainly didn't look pleasant)

This show keeps vacillating wildly between being mildly clever/surprising, amusingly trashy and mind-bogglingly dumb/boring. This ep was mostly the latter. Last week's cliffhanger is instantly overturned, nothing at all really changes, characters continue to be wasted and still no more silly robot action scenes, aka best thing about this show.

Really don't buy that Inaho is supposedly the only kat pilot in the Earth forces, the only pilot ON EARTH, who thought to hang back and remember how physics work. Among a whole bunch of silly poo poo about AZ, that's the silliest.

Preechr posted:It's simple. All the other generic mook pilots think they're in a giant mecha anime, and believe that burning spirit/courage/rule of cool will overcome physics. This is why they all die. Inaho thinks he's in the real world, but one with giant robots, and uses physics to achieve results. Ehhh, 40℅ that, 60℅ plot armor. VVVVV All of em? On Earth...?

Serious Frolicking posted:They don't have any real experience, and neither do the people who trained them. That all of the mustangs are still alive isn't a testament to their skill, but rather that the earth HQ hadn't been attacked before now. The young pilots are better because they are less trained; the earth mecha training regimen seems to be actively detrimental to survival. Stand in big groups, shoot. Hooray, you won! No tactics, no contingency plans, just stand and shoot. I suppose that even kind of makes sense if you assume that literally every combat veteran is dead, and they developed mechs and their accompanying training program in the last 15 years. I guess this would all be way less dumb if they'd make even the tiniest effort to portray any of the other officers as even remotely competent or somewhat able to think on their feet, and they sorta approach that with the big, insert song "YAY WE"RE ALL DOING OUR PART' scenes when the ship gets attacked, but nobody ever learns or develops on the battlefield or takes the initiative. This is why I kept hoping the series would regain some of its earlier scope on show more of the planetwide war this anime is supposedly about and lol nope everyone's dead cause they weren't Inaho. lol It's just Inaho being world's best soldier by a country mile some more and after eleven eps, that's pretty boring. Not a huge deal, cause all I really give a poo poo about anymore are the action scenes, but it's still particularly hard to swallow and my least favorite part of a premise I really wanted to enjoy.

pffffbt surprise, new princess out of nowhere , also Slaine having a manservant hahaha. Man, this writing. It's like coming home. Edit: LOL *walks right into the ice, goes "oh no, our anti-ice things aren't working!!"* Double edit: Yup, every dumb thing that was speculated to happen to keep everybody alive happened. Calling this show clever is really really funny, but lord it's still mad entertaining. Pootybutt fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Jan 10, 2015 |

Pretty boring episode. They spend the whole thing attempting to patch up this cheap new princess character's backstory and justify her presence and it just aint' working. Also that was a lot of buildup for a rather lame space battle scene. I'm getting Inaho's appeal less and less. His takedowns of those crazy supermechs in s1 were only thrilling and interesting via how his plans incorporated the whole group and had everyone working together(still would've liked to see some tactical input from SOMEONE besides him, but least they were making the effort.) Now he's literally just steamrolling everything through robotmagic, which is mad boring and weakening the action scenes even more is super not in this show's best interest. Oy.

I was getting pumped that other characters were finally getting to do poo poo(even if it was just standing there, shooting at a tornado) but I screamed at the monitor when Nao saved the day AGAIN. Jesus christ. I mean, Nao. Boy, this show sure loves ruining itself.

Overlord K posted:While it's surprising Slaine is actually keeping his momentum, it's hard to root for someone who killed a ton of people just to show off and make everybody know he's for real. At least he's turning into the proper villain I wanted him to turn into.[/spoiler] Slaughtering a couple of shuttles just moving munitions. Big man.
