Calwings 12/27/18 4:25:16 AM #280:	Since I finished Symphogear G, I'm not sure if I want to jump right into Symphogear GX or cool down and watch a different series in between. I have three short series picked out that I'm thinking of watching, and I was wondering if any of you guys have seen any of these and could give me your thoughts on them... Last Period https://myanimelist.net/anime/37254/Last_Period__Owarinaki_Rasen_no_Monogatari It looks cute, apparently it makes fun of gacha games (which would help me get over FEH pissing me off for the last time), and it has Yukari Tamura voicing a main character. Ever since hearing her angelic voice in Lyrical Nanoha, Yukari Tamura alone is enough of a hook for me to consider watching a show (she's pretty much the only reason that I watched and sat through Island) but from what I've heard, this show might be pretty fun even beyond that. Twin Angel: Twinkle Paradise https://myanimelist.net/anime/10217/Kaitou_Tenshi_Twin_Angel__Kyun_Kyun%E2%98%86Tokimeki_Paradise The original Twin Angel anime that I didn't know existed when I watched and decently enjoyed Twin Angel Break (the sequel) back in 2017. I got the idea to go back and watch this when I saw that there's apparently another Twin Angel project in the works for 2019. Oh, and this show has Yukari Tamura in it too. Shigofumi https://myanimelist.net/anime/3420/Shigofumi A show that I've had on my radar for a couple of years now but never got around to watching it. The premise of the series and Fumiko's character description all sound really intriguing to me, and I'm interested to find out what this show is like. No Yukari Tamura in this one, but it features the voice of a different Nanoha character (Kana Ueda, the voice of Hayate) as the main character. Besides these three shows or simply jumping right into Symphogear GX, I also thought about continuing to watch Futari Wa Precure (I watched the first half of the first season dubbed, and I'll need to switch over to subbed for Max Heart anyways, so I thought to use this time to finish the first season and get used to the subbed voices) or finishing Anima Yell (I watched the first four episodes but put it on hold due to watching too many shows that season). I hope to make a decision on what I'll watch next by the end of tomorrow. Do NOT bother suggesting any series not mentioned in this post. I am watching one of these six series next, and I am NOT taking suggestions for others. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/X5f550u <cite>Calwings posted [p:914765088] in Anime and ...

(Top 10 and 6 honorable mentions) then here it is. (Warning about Megalobox spoilers >.> I tried to be as non-spoilery as possible) Pretty cool vid. I listened to a good majority of it, though I skipped around a bit. I think your wife was a tad bit harsh towards Megalobox. Like the fact that she thought it was just an amalgamation of a lot of old famous anime. But stylistically, nothing felt out of tone, which means even though it took influences, the show successfully made that style its own. Also the setup and the characters are adapted from Ashita no Joe, but it couldn't have been a sequel for the obvious reason, and Yuri and Rikiishi have very different resolutions to their plot for the obvious reason as well. But the boxing gears were actually pretty important to the overall world building. Aside from adding to the steampunk aesthetics, thematically it acted as a very clear divide between social classes. Basically if you had a crappy gear like Joe did, you were fighting from a disadvantage. Since Joe and Yuri, who took their training seriously even outside their initial spar to the very end, had a one sided match early on and then had a very even match with both of them without their gear, it speaks to just how important the gears were to your standing in the boxing world. Of course Joe establishes that the top few boxers were the real deal in great gears, and their matches always just came down to whose instincts outdid the other at the very last moment, so you had to have both great gears and great boxing skills to stay on top. What does that all even mean though? Here, the gears clearly represent the divide between the haves and have-nots. No matter how a poor person tries, they will never be quite amazing enough to stay on top because unless you're crazy like Joe, fighting without a gear is incredibly reckless, shown by Joe getting hit by a single punch to be a devastating blow. Fighting against a person of an equal skill in boxing but a discrepancy in the gear was likely to be a loss. Compared to the original Ashita no Joe, you suddenly have a mechanic that clearly gives the poorer a very apparent disadvantage. It also speaks to the general life fact that everybody has to deal with, that no matter how hard you try, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer more often than not. Joe taking off his gears, then, pretty much solidified him as THE guy that represents the poor. Because he was working his way from the bottom on sheer talent alone and actually succeeding, he garners a lot of attention and support from the masses, who have probably spent a majority of their lives seeing talents lose solely on the gear discrepancy. This sort of set up also makes it doubly powerful when Yuri ~~takes off his gears~~ because it speaks to Yuri's denial of the society that lent him the hand that saved him from poverty for the sake of fighting somebody he respects on an even term. The act of taking his gear off, suffering for it for the literal match of his life, made that last fight so powerful, where you basically didn't want either of them to lose, which is something that both of you liked very much about The Legend of the Galactic Heroes. One other thing was that there wasn't a true rich vs. poor boxing match in this anime, since even the brother of the rich girl had agendas outside the prospect of wealth and did ultimately respect the art of boxing. In the grand scheme of things, the true rich vs. poor in Megalobox was more in the boxers' struggle against the idea of gears themselves --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgtc.com/7dRrfE1.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:914766100] in Anime and ...

I listened to a good majority of it, though I skipped around a bit. I think your wife was a tad bit harsh towards Megalobox. Like the fact that she thought it was just an amalgamation of a lot of old famous anime. But stylistically, nothing felt out of tone, which means even though it took influences, the show successfully made that style its own.

legendarylemur 12/27/18 5:43:23 AM #283:	Of course, the parallels you made with Megalobox and the real world of boxing were spot on. One could say a boxer with the ability to pull in the most money are the ones who succeed. It's doubtful in real life boxing that a person without expensive professional conditioning and high tech facilities can easily have an advantage against a person with similar potential who do have access to those things. Also if you were in a gym with 0 pulls or connections, it didn't matter how great you were. It's almost like the gears are just metaphors that encompasses all of such advantages that comes with having a lot of money. Without some serious luck, you could easily just end up being a nobody. And even if you were terrible at boxing like McGregor, his worth was something that could put up a grand stage with millions watching regardless of the love of the sport. If anything, Megalobox had a much more idealized world of boxing where the people on the top cared pretty deeply about the sport, where real life is more cynical as expected --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgtc.com/7dRrfE1.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:914766236] in Anime and ...

I have three short series picked out that I'm thinking of watching, and I was wondering if any of you guys have seen any of these and could give me your thoughts on them... Last Period https://myanimelist.net/anime/37254/Last_Period__Owarinaki_Rasen_no_Monogatari It looks cute, apparently it makes fun of gacha games (which would help me get over FEH pissing me off for the last time), and it has Yukari Tamura voicing a main character. Ever since hearing her angelic voice in Lyrical Nanoha, Yukari Tamura alone is enough of a hook for me to consider watching a show (she's pretty much the only reason that I watched and sat through Island) but from what I've heard, this show might be pretty fun even beyond that. Twin Angel: Twinkle Paradise https://myanimelist.net/anime/10217/Kaitou_Tenshi_Twin_Angel__Kyun_Kyun%E2%98%86Tokimeki_Paradise The original Twin Angel anime that I didn't know existed when I watched and decently enjoyed Twin Angel Break (the sequel) back in 2017. I got the idea to go back and watch this when I saw that there's apparently another Twin Angel project in the works for 2019. Oh, and this show has Yukari Tamura in it too. Shigofumi https://myanimelist.net/anime/3420/Shigofumi A show that I've had on my radar for a couple of years now but never got around to watching it. The premise of the series and Fumiko's character description all sound really intriguing to me, and I'm interested to find out what this show is like. No Yukari Tamura in this one, but it features the voice of a different Nanoha character (Kana Ueda, the voice of Hayate) as the main character. Besides these three shows or simply jumping right into Symphogear GX, I also thought about continuing to watch Futari Wa Precure (I watched the first half of the first season dubbed, and I'll need to switch over to subbed for Max Heart anyways, so I thought to use this time to finish the first season and get used to the subbed voices) or finishing Anima Yell (I watched the first four episodes but put it on hold due to watching too many shows that season). I hope to make a decision on what I'll watch next by the end of tomorrow. Do NOT bother suggesting any series not mentioned in this post. I am watching one of these six series next, and I am NOT taking suggestions for others. Last Period I guess. It was damn funny and hit hard for gacha players. Anima Yell I would say is one of my lower rated Cute Girl Cute Things Shows.
