I’m also catching up on LWA. The Sucy dream episode was very good.

At this point you shouldn't be blanket recommending KLK cause not everyone signed up for a mother giving her daughter the bad touch as a plot point

Yeah, this. Kill la Kill is, uh...oof. Bottom-of-the-barrel IMO.

Kill La Kill is a very divisive show-some love it, some loathe. I'm not a particular fan of it-while it has some cool ideas and some neat visuals/theming going throughout, I found most of these ideas underbaked, the characters never really developed save the blind swordsman (it's really egregious with Ryuko), multiple dropped threads, an underwhelming finale, and a playfulness with sexuality that flip flops between objectification, trauma, goofy fanservice, symbolic, and serious in service of its themes, which clash tonally and undermine each other.

i think i'd like klk a lot more if ryuko and satsuki's battle clothes weren't so amazingly awful.

The first half of KLK is pretty decent if you can get past the designs but the second half jumps off a loving cliff into oblivion.

I like some of KLK so much but it’s not something I’d ever recommend. Even the first episode has really objectionable stuff with the uniform forcing itself on the protagonist

I liked the blind swordsman character and a few other things about the series but the aforementioned bad touch scene alone keeps it from being a series I would recommend to anyone.

I've said to a friend that I think KLK would have greatly benefited from being a single cour. 13 episodes would've been enough to cover defeating the student council and then launch into the rebellion against Ragyo at a snappier pace. It would've left less time for Trigger to repeat the same character beats like three times for Ryuko and hopefully no time for extremely hosed up bad touch scenes

Well ain't that precious?

Kill La Kill is a very obvious example of not planning your plot out ahead of the time.

They released a Saint Seiya teaser trailer (Dunno if they got it in other languages, I only found the PTBR one for now because it premiered at a convention here):

It looks bad. Also Shun is a girl now, which surprisingly made for the only time where both MAGA-chuds and liberals joined forces to complain about a gender change in an adaptation.

Scorpio Milo was a girl on that other CG movie too do they just pick the most effete character and decide to genderswap? (Then again, will they do this with Aphrodite?)

Also I wish they adapted Episode G or the lost canvas spinoffs or Saintia Sho instead of doing a remake of the original :/

E: oh they are doing a saintia sho anime! But its crunchy instead of netflix

We can't make the effete character a GAY, the only way to solve this dilemma is turning them into women!

But by that twisted logic I think Aphrodite is still gonna be an effete man because it's okay to sound gay if you're evil!

Yeah it's a common thing with them. Even Darling in the Franxx suffered it when they weren't even on the writing or directing side there.

LWA manages to survive it for the most part but the episodic adventures of the first half are generally better than the plot focused second.

Gridman's gotten even better in the second half, but we have yet to see if it'll stick the landing.

Found this on twitter, one of the directors explaining why the change. Although wtf I'm more baffled that Saori is now called Sienna

I read this. It's still really dumb, because you're literally taking the one vulnerable male character and making him into a woman. If you wanna add a woman to the group and you wanna genderbend a character, why do you go for the low-hanging fruit? You could have a Girl Ikki like that dude said! You could also just let any of the Amazons actually Do poo poo as a sixth Ranger.

So we’re getting bad budget cgi instead of even some nice Céll shaded Cg like what sanzigen does. Bleh

I was willing to give it a chance but the guy they picked to replace Barrero as Seiya isn't even a dub actor and thus, is horrible in the role. So no thanks, I pass.
