| Totally unsatisfactory ending, It made me so excited, so thrilled it made me emotional and now how can this happen, how can it be so painful?? No way, this fu*king Masterpiece is just too much. Solid 11/10. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you are able to ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
animejas said: Finished this show just now, and I'm glad it's over. I wasn't trying to keep my expectations high since Trigger's disappointed me for the past few years but knowing that Imaishi was directing this, I did have a hint of optimism. But overall, this show was too rushed, so chaotic and messy to the point of just being fully bored of it so quickly, and having that only get worse and worse till the final episode. This is one of the worst shows of the year for me, a show that oozed style early on but with how tired I was of the story, characters and pacing of this show, the less I could give a shit about the visuals side of things (and even that wasn't as great as I was hoping for). Even the music while having its good moments, were a mess in other moments and how it was used with scenes in an obnoxious fashion. Not a single character I found to be likable or interesting either, not like the pacing did justice to the characters unlike some other Trigger/Gainax series in the past like a Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Gurren Lagann, etc. Best things about the show was the ending song/visuals and the opening being done by Franz Ferdinand. That was nice. The rest of this show I would probably forget about in a day or two and move on. The show might look good but the action scenes didn't really capture my interest either, was expecting way more on that front but left underwhelmed in the end. This show and Darling in the FranXX are probably my lowest rated Trigger works together. Such a shame but there weren't many moments where I felt optimistic or positive about the show while watching it, and the final few episodes and the ending did nothing to change my opinion there. Haven't played the game myself by the way so I don't know if that would play some kind of part in this, but this was just a lame show overall. Kind of a depressing day watching this show, right after the Spurs loss to Sporting and a hectic day of uni lol. Would even say this show is one of the weakest shows of the year given how there isn't many redeemable elements to it considering some level of expectations there, even if I was trying to not go too high with it. I kind of agree with you on some of those points, I was definitely disappointed. In episode 2 when Lucy was introduced I started to worry that there'd be a manic-pixie-dream-girl that drove part of the plot, then at the end of the episode I found it a nice twist that she sold David out - then the next day when I watched episode 3 I was gravely disappointed that it just went back to normal. David's voice acting wasn't bad, but I found his dialogue a bit awkward. I get that they tried to write his lines as sorta more ghetto, e.g. omitting pronouns at the start of his sentences, but I don't think he performs the ghetto-esque speech very naturally and sounds more like he's reading off a script at times. Also this is probably a hot take but I didn't think the animation was all that good? I mean it wasn't bad, but it was definitely lacking for a Trigger production. Defo some weird looking parts, and moments that hang on mostly still images for too long, sometimes using the same still image more than once. This is the scene where the animation stood out the most to me:  https://imgur.com/a/JR9TTRf |
| High-octane, no-holds-barred action. Every single frame was worth it. Reminded me of 90s gritty action OVAs with all the nudity and gore. The show was an effective marketing strategy for people to buy the game and kill adam smasher to avenge the cast. Good job, CD Projekt Red |
| Damn it, I was hoping Rebecca would live. I knew David would die, but it still hurt. I hoped at least the last four would be able to live after everything. |
| Eh, it was alright. 7/10 I guess? Barely... Considering the absurd amount of praise this got, it was a massive diappointment. People sure are impressed easily. Character deaths felt like super cheap shock value and nothing else. Lucy was hot. She was also the only interesting character and unfortunately didn't get nearly enough screentime. |
vampirenazuna said: I knew it was coming man.... i KNEW it was coming and it didnt hurt any less. I had at least hoped maybe rebecca would make it out alive, but only lucy lives on to tell the tale of david. Same dude,FeelsBadMan. @edit I think more 2 episodes (pattern from an anime season) could have developed a better ending and a little more character development. |
