Calwings 08/22/20 11:27:21 AM #402:	In addition to watching Twin Angel, I also want to start one more show. I can't decide between Gunslinger Girl, which I've had on my plan-to-watch for years but never got around to, or Persona 5: The Animation, which just recently had its dub added to Funimation. So I wanted to ask you guys which one I should watch. Keep in mind that I have absolutely no intention of ever buying/playing the Persona 5 game itself (I don't have $60 and 100+ hours of my life to spare on it) so "play the game instead" will be ignored even if the game really is a better experience. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF <cite>Calwings posted [p:943684621] in Anime/Othe...

I'll put up with it for now, but if it gets much worse I may have to just play it on the PC when I get a gaming computer. --- http://i.imgtc.com/HbLRkhLI5v.png http://i.imgtc.com/h1kJWiJxAG.jpg <cite>Spidey5 posted [p:943693554] in Anime/Othe...

Calwings 08/22/20 4:32:30 PM #404:	Apparently, Cardfight Vanguard IF got picked up by Crunchyroll yesterday, so we get better video/subtitle quality now compared to Youtube. Plus, new episodes now come out on Friday nights instead of Saturday mornings, so I decided to throw this together: https://i.imgur.com/F3T6Eqs.png As for this week's episode... @legendarylemur can you please explain to me what the fuck just happened? Because I feel like things just escalated very quickly. What I was able to piece together is that Aichi, the protagonist of the main CFVG series, is the villain in this series now because his destiny was changed by Shuka (by her accidentally preventing him from meeting Kai and getting Blaster Blade) way before this all started. https://i.imgur.com/KwCF02j.gif This moment was badass though.

Calwings 08/22/20 4:47:13 PM #406:	Juhanor posted... Gunslinger Girl if it's not too bloody. Yeah, that's another thing I'm concerned about. I don't know how violent the series is, and although I heard the girls are supposed to be cyborgs, I don't know how much of them is still human. A totally robotic arm being shot off would be a lot easier for me to deal with than one that's mostly still flesh and blood. If someone who's seen it before can reassure me that it's not too gory for me, then I'm leaning towards watching it next over Persona. But if I can't get that confirmation (or if someone confirms that it is too gory for me) then I'll go with Persona instead. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF <cite>Calwings posted [p:943694710] in Anime/Othe...

Calwings 08/22/20 6:36:37 PM #409:	I decided to do more research into the CFVG franchise. Between how stupidly long the original timeline is (196 episodes and a movie for the original series, 175 episodes for G) and what I read about how IF appears to be more closely tied to the reboot timeline than the original timeline, I think I'll just watch the reboot instead. It's still fairly long at 97 episodes, but that's far more manageable than 371 episodes. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF <cite>Calwings posted [p:943698214] in Anime/Othe...

It's still fairly long at 97 episodes, but that's far more manageable than 371 episodes. Yeah the reboot is good too, but I think generally people like the original far better. IF does have ties to the reboot, but you won't feel lost if you watch the original. It's all the same characters and the same arcs and everything with minor (but crucial imo) differences. However, the length might definitely be a huge factor for choosing the reboot.

The hand-drawn art is also always nice to look at. Going to be the longest TV anime I've ever seen (besides Legend of the Galactic Heroes but that's classified as an OVA so I guess it kinda doesn't count) , but might be dethroned by Fist of the North Star soon after as I've been thinking about going through that. I guess I'm supposed to watch the first CCS movie after episode 35? I just watched 36 before seeing someone say that. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:943704470] in Anime/Othe...

The loading times are horrendous and the game just crashed on me on one of the loading screens. I'll put up with it for now, but if it gets much worse I may have to just play it on the PC when I get a gaming computer. Yeah, I heard about that. It kind of sucks its not optimized well.

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.

What are some of your favorite mecha titles? I've been meaning to watch more. I've seen most of the Gundam series besides I think Victory and Seed (and sequels). I tend to lean toward the "real robot" side though I did think G Gundam was alright. I started VOTOMS a while back and it was pretty cool but didn't get more than 10ish episodes in, so may just finish that. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:943820245] in Anime/Othe...

Again it wasn't anything amazing but I did enjoy the two Betterman cameos, even if they were voiceless and from behind. Glad to be done with it regardless.</quote> What are some of your favorite mecha titles? I've been meaning to watch more. I've seen most of the Gundam series besides I think Victory and Seed (and sequels). I tend to lean toward the "real robot" side though I did think G Gundam was alright. I started VOTOMS a while back and it was pretty cool but didn't get more than 10ish episodes in, so may just finish that. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, Granbelm flew way under the radar when it aired last Summer.

Itachi157 08/26/20 12:35:34 AM #431:	That's quite a bit of stuff, thank you. Will definitely save all this. Despite not having seen much mecha, I'm definitely interested in seeing more so this is pretty nice info to have. Out of what I have seen, my favorite so far was probably Turn A Gundam. In fact that's probably in my top 10 overall anime. Patlabor did catch my eye a while back because I just happened to see the opening on YouTube, was indeed really catchy. Probably be a good place to start. Also not necessarily all mecha but the 80s aesthetic in general is really appealing to me (kind of how Zeta and ZZ looked/felt). <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:943828631] in Anime/Othe...
