Endorph posted:if anything id say the mecha genre is on a bit of an uptick recently. not a major one but compared to the early 2010s it feels like we're getting more shows and a wider variety of shows in the past few years. ibo and gridman were decently big so maybe that has something to do with it. This year has one of the biggest crops of mech anime in a while, for whatever that's worth. Gundam, Macross, Eva, and Eureka Seven all have movies, Fafner's finishing up Beyond, Getter's animating Arc, Shinkalion is getting a sequel... it's packed. If we're talking success, there's also Promare making nearly 10 million, Evangelion outgrossing Shin Godzilla this year, and Shinkalion being a pretty solid hit with kids in Japan. Might not be the biggest thing going (nine isekai next season! NINE!) but it's not a dying subgenre either, even if hand drawn mechs are a bit of a dying art. (Which Sunrise is trying to address.)

There’s a Eureka Seven movie? Let that corpse lie dammit. Also 86 reminds me a lot of Franxx. I mean idk. It’s got kids, they’ve got machines, the people in charge is hosed up. I guess that is actually everything.

no. watch it. it's a good anime motherfucker more seriously it is worth knowing about the, weird, scene in the middle and it is kind of a weird beat that i understand definitely will be a sticking point for many. and i kinda wish it wasn't there. i think every other part of it is a legitimately good and unique anime though and it has some genuinely interesting commentary and a decent ending i also like cross ange so basically, i am the final boss The Colonel fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 21, 2021 |

Depends on your definition of authority figures. And, for that matter, evil. I don't think Gunbuster has any even by fairly loose definitions. The Empire is all in for saving humanity, the enemy is space monsters, and the people we see in command (Coach and Tatsumi Tashiro) are on the up-and-up, with even their rear end in a top hat moments having explanations. It's a genre staple to have command be as much trouble for the heroes as the enemy, but there's a lot of variation. On the one end, the original Gundam made it clear that the Federation was kinda lovely, but their main commander in the show, Revil, did his best to support the heroes even when he was using them as part of a wider strategy. On the other, you have Gundam SEED, where the Earth Alliance tried to murder the protagonists and was just as much a bunch of genocidal psychopaths as their main enemies.

It's pretty good so far. Pacing is a little slower since it's a whole cour for one volume of a light novel, but that means there's room to actually give all the supporting characters moments before they die. The directing is really good, too. Really helps the tone adjust quickly from lighthearted to horrible disaster.

esselfortium posted:more than anything else in your post, this makes me want to watch kannazuki the middle of the story has a weird dubcon bit and thats where i think 90% of apprehension comes from the rest of the story is a mecha anime about the heroine of a mecha anime realizing she's gay and kissing the boy gives her vague depression so she doesn't actually really like him romantically while the other lesbian has dark evil mental breakdowns and tries to push the other girl away because she thinks it would be better for her to die alone and then they have a big lesbian duel to understand each other's feelings. also all the villains are just people with depression because their lives sucked its a wonky anime and i get where some people's issues from mostly i think just in a more modern context where lesbian manga and anime is more general and accessible, it's got interesting ideas and beats The Colonel fucked around with this message at 00:52 on May 22, 2021 |

if i were asked to rate kannazuki against another show from the same era with janky yuri themes i'd rate it far above mai-hime cause the moments of weird comphet are intentional build up to its core thematic point that subverts them as an explicitly bad thing

The second one is good because it tells its own story and says that all the other Eureka Seven stuff are basically alternate universes and there's a character that straight up says all the Eureka Seven spin offs are garbage.

Mithril in Full Metal Panic seems to be alright on that front. Sousuke's the only child soldier and that's only because he used to be in the Mujahideen, and it's not like he doesn't want to be there.

Captain Invictus posted:I've posted my thoughts about it after binging the entire manga and it's very solid for a good 12 or so volumes, and then there is a point where a certain character dies and it goes off the rails extremely hard. For a bit more spoilery specificity: there is a character who is kept around basically for the express purpose of being fridged, they are around in the background a fair amount but get literally almost zero character development throughout the series because their only purpose is to be innocent and disposable, it's so blatant it's ridiculous. and they are barely referenced afterwards. the people who were responsible for their murder get more coverage than they do. it's bad Honestly that was kind of what I was worried about. Once it started settling into the "here comes a worse rear end in a top hat gang guy and the day is saved by the main character being loving" I kind of started tuning out. I don't see a downside to the dude actually learning how to fight instead of just getting his rear end kicked all the time, it just kind of rings hollow and eye rolley after a while if he can't back anything up
