LAOG said: But toei is garbage at animating. The struggle. considering one season ran for a year and they didn't have a huge budget they did a good job imo. it looks better than the remake, honestly... Paulo27 said: I like how our tastes are like complete opposite of each other, Pleiades seems like the weaker series to me. i wasn't so fond of the latest seasons of prillya and nanoha, so i don't have high expectation for those lol. would be cool if nanoha vivid was more like the first + second season again though. |

Yeah they hate Tomino too, and the feelings are mutual. Victory, F91 and Zeta could have been much better. It was an exaggeration but I do still like their stuff a lot. |

Zergneedsfood said: cupc said: Because I don't like far fetched interpretations. They keep people from accurately understanding a work and often encourages chasing irrelevant and tangential portions to a story to a wrong/misguided conclusion.Why is that a problem to you? I think it's interesting to read far-fetched interpretations, even if I don't believe them myself. But if the work gave people something else to think about, is it really bad that they didn't understand the work as intended. (=As you did) Zergneedsfood said: KokkoStar said: And the problem with far-fetched interpretations is that they are more often than not, bereft of any legitimate proof.As long as you have "proof" to back up your interpretation I think they're all valid. This is a different case that I agree with. But as long as there is proof, I have nothing against different interpretations. |

KokkoStar said: Yeah they hate Tomino too, and the feelings are mutual. Victory, F91 and Zeta could have been much better. It was an exaggeration but I do still like their stuff a lot. Really?? From What I heard It's that Tomino grew Sick of the Gundam franchise cuz he never intended it to have all these entries Also F91 was due to the economy thingy from what I hear |

KokkoStar said: poor fucking tomino, i dont know why the guy didnt just get the fuck out of sunrise and work elsewhere, i mean after turn A he didnt even want to do anymore gundam and G-reco is just the result of more executive meddling renaming something that was meant to be its own IP, which really shows in the show, the whole UC backstory feels so shoe horned in and while im sure it'll lead into turn A sooner or later thats not hat hard to do.JizzyHitler said: see while they have produced so much good i cannot find it in me to praise sunrise at all, cause for all their good they are one of the biggest assholes when it comes to fucking with their talent's visions in the dumbest ways, its almost to the point where you wonder how much better alot of their stuff would had been if they hadnt been the producers, like G-gundam was great as is but had they not meddled so much to the point where the director was in outright war with the execs and had to add shit he didnt want like that tedious as fuck tournament arc midway through it could had been stellar.

I give the guy shit, but i can recognize the different between him as a director having flaws and the very obvious sunrise retardation, like victory first 5 episodes being out of order and action heavy, victory was suppossedly meant to be paced like turn A with little action which i can definitely see in many parts of the series especially since so many of the fights were super short like they were just tacked onto a finished script. |

Zergneedsfood said: cupc said: I think so. There's a lot of literary theorists out there these days, and I believe one of the prevailing theories is that a work is an interaction between the text/work/film/anime/whatever and the reader/viewer, and everything else apart from that relationship is, in essence, irrelevant. It's called reader-response theory, and I think while it's important that you get something out of the work, I still believe that author's intention is incredibly important and interpreting the work correctly is critical.But if the work gave people something else to think about, is it really bad that they didn't understand the work as intended. (=As you did) It's the same thing as reading an editorial and getting the argument of the journalist wrong. A lot of books or shows have a point that they want to make, and I think it's perfectly fair to say that it's very important to correctly understand what the point of the show is. But my point was, how do you say what the point of the show is? Just because you and the majority interprets a work in one way doesn't mean that's how it is. You could just as well be wrong, whereas the minority is correct. What is correct, is my question. That is, unless the author specifically states how his work is supposed to be seen. |

Its really tragic to see how brutal gundam has been in the creative process, F91 was just a mess of a creation out of them all adn this really shows in how it ended up, while victory, G, and zeta were warzones they were still finished in the end and quite good despite their flaws, fucking f91 wasnt even 1/4th of the way done by the end of the warzone writing process, they only wrote 11 god damn episodes of it. Apparently in the levels of which shows got fucked with the most the order may as well go Zeta < G <<<<<<<<<<<<tomino's existence<<<<<<<<< F91 |

And this butchering was done just because the suits wanted to sell more gunplas. WTH doesn't Gundam hold like 90% of the plastic model market already? What more do they want? |

Zergneedsfood said: cupc said: I don't think anything is ever definitively correct, but there is an acceptable boundary of what is deemed "could be correct" and what is just strictly out of the question. It's all really based on how you use the information in a show, but I think there are interpretations that are unquestionably better and "more correct" than others.But my point was, how do you say what the point of the show is? Just because you and the majority interprets a work in one way doesn't mean that's how it is. You could just as well be wrong, whereas the minority is correct. What is correct, is my question. That is, unless the author specifically states how his work is supposed to be seen. Texhnolyze, for instance, has a wide variety of interpretations, few being necessarily more "correct" than the other. But I don't think anyone can really make a very strong argument that states that technology is portrayed overwhelmingly positively at the end of the show, or argue that one of Texhnolyze's primary messages is about how technology enhances the human condition, when most of the evidence is in the contrary. Sure, you might be able to say that Ichise's condition is an exception to the rule, but the general position is inherently indefensible because of the content of the show, and would be an "incorrect" interpretation. That's what I thought you'd answer, and it's how I see it too. Here we come a full circle back to the plausible proof. As long as a theory is backed by proof good enough (which is of course subjective) it is a correct way of interpreting something. But there is the boundary where one goes overboard - that's when thinking of something else is a good idea. |

But yeah, 3.33's OST was fucking godly. Also, I am now officially a third of the way through LoGH and I've yet to really be impressed. Hopefully Season 2 picks up soon. |

Zergneedsfood said: cupc said: I have my fair share of reservations about 3.0, but the music was not one of them. The full versions of all the songs are awesome, but I also recommend listening to the cut versions that were used in the movie, because I think those flow a bit better and I could see why they cut the music the way they did.Woow, I have seen 3.0 twice but I never listened to the soundtrack. That is an amazing piece If I had to name my favorite anime soundtrack produced in the last five years, Eva 3.0 takes the cake, easily. I'll definitely check out the full OST when I need background music. I doubt it can top Unicorn OST for me though, but then again it also has the feels factor going for it, being a part of such an epic chapter of Universal Century in general. |

It's very well paced, every episode is just full of fun. The fights look very beautiful, the production values are glorious. The mechanical design is also very fabulous, and I like the pseudo-scientific aspect of the time going faster while in outer space, it brings a unique element to the story. The overwhelming 80s flair brings a last element of win to the whole package. The growth of Noriko from your average teenager grill into the hero of the humanity in just 6 episodes is glorious. |
