Zarmyn's Profile

you're welcome. From your anime list.I can see that you're already watched all gundam series. So,what's your favourite gundam series so far?

Greetings Zarmyn, and thank you for the friend request.
An interesting way of introducing yourself, though I assume that you use the same lines whenever you add new people :)

Greetings, mister. :) Nice introduction you've got there, I see, I see. I'm deeply sorry for taking so long time to reply but somehow MAL ate my reply for dinner without me noticing. Seems you really already gathered a lot. I don't mind becoming one more, because you seem deeply interesting. :3

Hello Mr Zarmyn! Thank you, I am flattered! You can talk with me about anything^^

Not at all. I tried my hardest to like it. If anything, my subconscious state is trying to find excuses for it being flawless and my rational side tells me that it is in fact not, and it is as damaged as it is. I can come up with a million excuses for TTGL, but it would be being irrational and as worthwhile as looking deep into puddle of water.

That is exactly the limitation of these ratings on this website. I both love and hate TTGL, and it's rather hard to explain just how much I loved the series and yet its flaws made me despise it.

Take the enjoyment rating, for example, during the first half of the series, it would be 10/10. But my enjoyment for the second half was absolutely ZERO. I hated watching it. It was nearly like torture. But at the same time, I couldn't NOT watch it. So again, wouldn't that mean I was entertained? The fact that the content was not in fact boring. It was very exciting, to be honest. But I didn't want to watch it and so didn't enjoy myself.

And the entire review was not why I hated it. It was an ode to how epic this series was that even its tiniest flaws was by default quite epic as well. Barely anyone ever addressed the problems with the anime since they are too caught up with it not to notice.

So honestly, TTGL is by far one of the best things I ever saw in my life. But it is not perfect and its imperfections are quite unforgivable. These are not things you can simply give a hand wave to and ignore. If you can ignore them, you weren't paying attention to the anime at all and were watching it on a shallow level. Which people often tell me if how its meant to be watched. But I maintain that I only started taking TTGL seriously when IT started taking ITSELF seriously. And while watching it in that respect, it completely failed and ruined the continuity from the first arc.

If anything, I'd rather people disregard the ratings on the side and just read the review.

I am not a person who would review something based on "it didn't go the way I wanted so not it sucks". Many anime I like never go the way I want them too. It sucks because it didn't go the way it was supposed to, there is a difference. If you read my review, you'd see that the problem I had was the identity crisis of the story. The second half is completely ridiculous.

I watched Evangelion. I loved it. It didn't go the way ANYBODY wanted it to go. But I didn't care about that because Evangelion went the way it was supposed to go.

TTGL abandoned its identity and became an anime it was not. My ratings would indicate that what it became was not necessarily a bad thing on the whole, as far as all anime in the world is concerned, but in the case of TTGL, it was completely two-faced. And not in a smooth, logical way. It just snapped. It was like two people who hated one another wrote two separate scripts and then stuck them together and said, "Fuck it. Nobody will care--the mecha get bigger, Yoko's breasts still bounce and Simon becomes Kamina. We just made a masterpiece."

Nice to meet you Zarmyn. ^^

There's no need for you to be so polite, although I will admit it is such a rarity to see such formality anywhere on the net. Hell, even in the real world around where I live. So you already won my respect there.

So what region of the world are you from? (If you don't mind me asking that is, I was just curious.) As for me, I'm from the good 'ol US of A.

Thanks for your friend request. You sound really interesting :) For now, I'll refrain from accepting the request since I don't accept Random Friend Requests, but I'll probably accept it after a couple conversations with you.
