And Argevollen is an feels like an actual war drama, even if it is romanticised to a point. |

T3hSource said: I thought it was a war drama at first until it went full retard in episode 3 and 4, the way they handle tokimune's insubordination was insulting cause they outright say what they SHOULD had done in episode 4 but they dont and instead give the guy fucking compliments for running off his own TWICE, the show implies that soldiers can disobey orders and get great rewards out of it. Episode 3 also was insulting with how it made tokimune's squad useless while he takes down mechs he needed to retreat from last episode with ease, but because plot hes suddenly powerless against the antagonists mech whom spends the fight gloating that tokimune cant fight worth shit yet never actually delivering any blows that would kill tokimune even though he clearly has them, so what only 1 person on the enemy army is competent and that one competent guy likes to gloat instead of using his skills properly?Kentar said: The same reason a cold emotionless computer with a generic mech is considered good(it's entertaining).

I'm watching the show to the end so im giving it its time to improve, while they were slopy i thought the first 2 episodes had some resemblances of potential, ep 3 was awful, and despite its awful handling of tokimune's insubordination as well as the awful fanservice scene i do think ep 4 sets up some potential itself but also sets up alot of potential for contrivances especially in regards to tokimune's sister. I have some faith in the future of this series but if i had to describe the first 4 episodes in a single word, sloppy would be it. |

| The way they handled Tokimune's actions were indeed frustratingly inconsequential. It already feels silly and contrived at moments in each episode, like you mentioned before, the director isn't exactly good and neither is the script. However the show knows what it wants to be and is doing some things competently. Definitely a mixed bag, but also not an awful viewing experience, unlike Glasslip. Reminder the Shounen Hollywood is criminally underrated, it's good for actually not being about pop idols, but rather the characters themselves. |

Tokyo Ghoul on the other hand keeps reminding me that its overrated, rushed, 3edgy5me, censored gorefest garbage. I don't even know why I'm still watching. A bit underrated? Under 7 on MAL is considered worse than shit. It's well deserving of a 7.3-7.5 range. I have watched 4 episodes of Argevollen. It has mediocre story and bad characters. No way it deserve 7.3-7.5 |

Kentar said: Tokimune isn't just as saving others he's also endangering his squad by his brash decisions. And it's not exactly like: "I have OP mech, fak u." it's more like: "How the fuck do I make this damn thing to work!?" and in the fight with the antagonist "I only survived because of the new mech."aldnoah zero did it better. it's not "i sit here in this special mecha to save everyone" (SO FAR LEL) type of anime (however aldnoah zero is heavily flawed in other areas) which makes for a much more enjoyable watch where it relies on intellect to win fights and i just cant find appeal on supermecha save teh worldz animes. this sablon restricts itself far too much to be able to improvise much and bring something unique to the table when i dont want to fall asleep when this battles that punch punch and gg The lieutenant gives orders to save his ass(and the mech). It's not flashy thrilling tactics, however they are there, but since we're focusing on Tokimune's struggle they aren't explained, just shown, even if they feel like contrivances, they DO make sense in context. Again, it's NOT a super robot show with saving the world as a goal, it's more of a personal story as well as having a war drama as backdrop. You don't like the mecha trope of the protagonist getting the OP mech, that's OK. Aldnoah does the opposite where the villain gets the OP mech instead, yet doesn't just outright demolish the main cast, happy? I personally find both shows to be pretty average. Damn, now I know how SAO defenders feel. |

| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

| Glasslip overrated. The animation in this episode was just terrible. The sprinters running looked so bad. This show is rapidly approaching Coppelion levels of bad. Actually, no, it at least has good background art... it's more like Galilei Donna levels of bad. How is it still above 7? Just because PA works is making it? |

I don't know, its been pretty disappointing so far but after taking a step back, its pretty clear that with the amount foreshadowing and obvious Chekhov's guns, everything so far has been set up. I can see it redeeming itself if it manages to do something interesting with all the set up so far, but it could just as easily be a train wreck with the way its going. |

It's even better now because as of the 5th episode they've added parts with a sort of speech bubble thing with the character in chibi form talking inside of it. Makes the show more kawaii!! |

| Also I need to say this again, nobunaga concerto is really worth watching to anyone who was off put by its first episode, it does a ton of growing up in the 2nd and 3rd episodes and mixes its comedy and drama way better, Its showing some actual character depth and setting up alot of events for the future. Definitely worth a shot despite its painful to look at visuals. Also its ost is fantastic, and so is its (admittedly out of place) ed |

| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Besides the CG why would people have been put off by the first episode? First episode was pretty funny (Nobunaga Concerto). |
 |
| Yes I am loving the crap out of Nobunaga Concerto. I hope it goes on for at least 2-cour. I don't think the visuals are that bad. Backgrounds are really gorgeous sometimes. Stiff head/neck animation is stiff but it doesn't bother me all that much. ED isn't out of place at all, it's about as nonsensical and misplaced as Saburou's modern day actions. Which are actually not misplaced at all. That being said, Saburou better than your Kiritos and your Akame ga Kill cast for sure. |
| Nobunaga Concerto definitely deserves higher ratings, the only real turn off is the CG. |

skudoops said: keragamming said: Why is that? Well firstly the characters haven't had any development 4 episodes in. Infact one character actually has no relevance to the story at all (at least not yet). The adults in the show are ridiculously stupid, I mean I really don't understand their actions a lot of the time. The story has gone no where. From the first to the fourth episode, we still don't really have any conclusive hints about a possible motive the protags have for their actions The explanations for some of the things in the show are pretty stupid and this combined with the stupid adults makes for some very unbelievable scenarios. Right now to me the only things the show have going for it are the production values, it still has time to get way better but I'm not keeping my hopes up. Fair enough, I agree with some points you made. Also get yourself a avatar pic, don't make me repeat myself. |
