Dark_Kain said: There should be no need at all, the story has no direct link to the original series (1977) nor the remake (2008). Add that both those series are mostly episodic (there is just a simple, paper-thin plot that is solved in the series finale); you don't really need any more exposition than the one the first episode is going to give you anyway. However you could try and watch a couple of episodes just to understand the comedic references. Thanks, I´ll try the original series later and now I´ll try this. |
You all need to watch Nami. |
| I haven't seen the original series, but I can suggest you read up on the original characters briefly on mal. Just doing that gave me a pretty good gist of the details I wasn't so sure about after episode 1. From doing so, it basically just confirmed what the first episode shows us. However, looking back at the original plot of the series gives you a good idea of why the yatterman may be so hostile to a "gang" that they only could have heard bad things of over the years. |
| I haven't seen original series and I understand what is going on... So I guess it's not necessary to watch original series. |
| No you don't need to watch the previous yatterman |
| It isn't necessary, but it wouldn't hurt to watch a few eps to familiarize yourself with the original characters to better understand what this show is trying to do. It's also pretty fun; most Tatsunoko stuff is. I would normally suggest seeing the first and last eps, but Anime Sols only ever did the first 17. I don't think anyone has done the last one, 108, in English. |
| Nothing |
| It's not necessary. However, it helps getting a few clues, like the Roboter that Gatchan built, the Yatterdug that the General uses etc. But you can still enjoy it. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
Blankbite said: It doesn't matter. I've only watched 3 episodes and I barely know the whole franchise yet I've been enjoying the anime. The only thing we need to understand is there are two roles in this anime - heroic villains and villainous heroes. Anything else is trivial e.g. as valoon have said, the Roboter, the Yatterbug, etc. extra rant The show has been getting worse as of late so it's score is wholly deserved |

On top of the fact that they accomplished way more in three episodes, let alone eight, it's nowhere near their style. The animation looks like mediocre shit even during its most triumphant moments and the tonal shifts are awful. |

Blankbite said: extra rant It's a result of people watching Yatterman, and not expecting Yatterman. I don't agree with the comparison to Gainax/Trigger though; Yatterman is way above gaudy puke on screen. |

QuattroVaginas said: It's a result of people watching Yatterman, and not expecting Yatterman. Typical MAL. CLBGM said: But let's face it. This show is more for the old Yatterman fans. The humor and the jokes are too bizarre for non-Yatterman fans. It's not just Yatterman. You need to be familiar with Tatsunoko as a whole for the complete enjoyment, since they reference everything. Not just Yatterman, other Time Bokan series as well, and not just that, Cashern and Polymar as well. |
