I keep thinking about how Anti wanders between Rikka and Akane, and about how Yuuta is similar. I really like the Rikka vs Akane theory and I think it'll pan out to a certain extent somehow in that she also identifies the central conflict of the show, just beating the monster of the week won't stop or solve their situation of their friend being messed up or trapped in a weird city with a floating circuit grid above it. Therefore I also think she's hacked her way in like Alex replaced the original Rikka program and created Yuta to help her friend Akane. (What a long shot, lol). I just think Yuta is very very similar to Anti and the other Kaiju in mannerisms.

Apparently Obari is mad at TRIGGER for not consulting or at least acknowledging him in the credits for all the shot-for-shot reference cuts they did in Gridman.

Pure speculation but this does feel more like someone getting overeager with the references than anything malicious, though, since if you were trying to copy something I'd imagine your first port of call wouldn't be the most widely recognized and respected mecha action animator there's ever been.

Endorph posted:If it was just 'the mech does the pose' or 'the mech does the attack' it'd be fine but everything is extremely similar, even the background. Like I said, it still reads to me as a storyboarder getting overexcited more than anything malicious, but hopefully Trigger apologizes and everyone just leaves it at that. Isn't that exactly what CNM just said?

Sounds like, once you cut out some show-specific fluff cuts, even the timing of the transformation and the finishing move is identical between Gridman and the sequences it's copying here, right down to a frame-by-frame basis. It does seem more likely to be an overeager homage than something deliberately malicious. Asking around the Sakuga blog it sounds like Obari is (or at least was) on good terms with people on Gridman's staff, so yeah hopefully they can make amends more gracefully than not. Show's been good, I'd hate for something like this to leave a stink over it.

Obari is generally extremely cool about people using really blatant references to his iconic poses and stuff, so saying he's getting "bent out of shape" because someone yanked an entire animation sequence from him seems mean spirited.

Darth Walrus posted:It's a bit more complicated than your standard abuse metaphor, though, because this is literally Akane's fantasy world. This whole show is taking place inside her head. What she's saying isn't just about Rikka, it's about the world she felt the need to create for herself. Makes you wonder if the NPCs self-actualising and developing their own lives without her is just a manifestation of her apocalyptic self-loathing. How much of Rikka is Akane? I feel like Rikka's based off a real person who used to be Akane's friend and hates her now, or something. Where can I get this, because I need it.

Well, that's a prototype, unless Goodsmile rushes production the real deal won't be out until late 2019. Now, if you want the prototype, good luck on that, you'd have to steal it.

Yeah, something I keep thinking about is the possibility and extent to which Akane doesn't actually know what the gently caress she's talking about. Like, what if she didn't actually create anyone in the simulation or wire them up to love her, and somebody else did, and Akane just assumes she did it because it's so convenient for her and because she can't remember anything else. Things are getting clearer, but there's still a lot of room for character reads to change based on what things like the nature of the world and Alexis' whole deal turn out to be. Really like how this show is pacing out its mysteries.

This is  but is the only time that Rikka expresses attraction to Akane in the audio drama? What if that is the "real world" people talking, and the show is the cyberspace versions?!

PV for episode 9. 09 Reverie The kaiju that appeared in town is just floating around, doing nothing particular. In order to reclaim the perfect world she envisioned, Akane interferes with the time dimension of Yuta and his friends. With no access to Gridman, Yuta and his friends are left alone to face their biggest crisis.

Idle thought I can't fully back up right now but am kind of intrigued by: What if Rikka is actually the one running the simulation/is actually 'God'? I'm not quite yet sure how the logistics would work out - maybe, if we assume that this whole thing is meant to be some kind of therapy for Akane, it was decided to entrust the sim to her best friend? - but with how early they did the reveal about Akane I wouldn't be shocked if it's some sort of head-fake, and the thematic implications of Rikka actually being the one with all the power this whole time are...interesting. I mean, obviously Akane has some power now, but what if that's only due to Alexis subverting how the sim is supposed to work? Or even if it's something Rikka is allowing to happen for some reason - possibly for Akane's own good? Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Nov 27, 2018 |

Depends which particular bits you like - Trigger's alumni are all about blending together their favourite parts from other works. The main influence in aesthetics and directorial style is Neon Genesis Evangelion, which the director worked as a junior animator on, although that's got a considerably less cheery blend of giant monsters and psychological dysfunction.

Big O's probably the best answer actually, both in the robot/kaiju sense and the mystery sense. Also lol at eva being the main aesthetic influence and not the original gridman and other toku stuff.

Considering how much the show cribs from him you might wanna check out something directed by Obari. I semi-recently watched Gravion and it was pretty cool, though the mysteries in it are more about specific individuals than the world at large, and it's very fanservicey if that's something that bothers you.

Droyer posted:Big O's probably the best answer actually, both in the robot/kaiju sense and the mystery sense. I mean, those were Eva's parents too, and it was the show that added most of the surreal psychological thriller/warped coming-of-age story elements that SSSSG draws upon so heavily to the toku formula, and set much of the template for how SSSSG adapts the look and feel of kaiju battles from live action to animation. This show may be adapted from Gridman, but it's assembled using NGE's toolkit (plus a decent dose from the Brave Series).
