Juhanor 08/25/20 12:37:55 AM #422:	Finished GGG. Pros: Mech design by Kunio Okawara Character design by Takahiro Kimura King J-Der and J were cool Last fight was good Cons: Stock footage Character deaths cheapened by fake outs (can't fake every death and then expect the viewer to feel anything when someone actually dies <_<) Stock footage Victories cheapened by ass pull abilities out of nowhere Stock footage Due to the fake outs and victories, there were neither stakes nor consequences Stock footage Weird music direction (hero's killer move featuring a sinister theme, opening rarely played etc etc) Stock footage Stagnant characters, no betrayals or counter purposes (which was on purpose, but with the above low stakes/no consequences, made for a very boring show) That's about i-oh wait, did I mention stock footage? (At least half, hell maybe 2/3rds of the show was stock footage, is what I'm getting at) And finally inconsistent themes/lifted ideas from anime that'd already done it, and better, three years earlier in 1994 Although the cons seem more than the pros, I've seen a lot worse and really the worst part was that I rarely felt emotion towards it, positive or negative. Good (mecha) anime should get the viewer's sides splitting, tears flowing or blood boiling. I laughed once, cried never and had lukewarm veins the entire time. So in the end, GGG wasn't amazing or awful; it was just thoroughly average, at least for me. Hopefully Final is better <_< --- OG Xbox on PC https://pastebin.com/h3HBTFbF <cite>Juhanor posted [p:943788917] in Anime/Othe... [t:78739053]...</cite> <quote>Finished GGG.
