This show isn't as bad as what people are saying.

Yes, it was stupid and pointless! Perhaps the creators thought that by making it more ''cartoonish'' it will be more funny and more accessible to the younger viewers, but they make it so funny that we the adults couldn't even laugh with it! I understand the ''artistic value'' of that choice (I also enjoyed Gurren Laggan's and Killa la Kill's ''cartoonish'' nature, btw), but I seen no point when it doesn't affect the plot at all (especially in a show that it tries so hard to convince us to take it seriously)! And why the mecha's bodies, voices and faces match only the female pilot? Isn't the male pilot the one in charge? Now, Zorome was voiced his mecha in a few occasions, but hearing his voice in a body like Miku's, wasn't funny either, lol!

Some of the same retard critics fell the same on Spielberg's AI film. Retarded idiots didn't even try to understand the final scenes and the whole thing ended up into some of the most batshit stupid episodes of critical incompetence and artistical iliteracy in recent times. Spielberg's team had to come out and explain to the noisy idiots that there wasn't any aliens in his film, but the damage was done and the movie flopped. Almost 2 decades later, AI's a cult film and regarded by many directors as a masterpiece.

These days we have MAL experts, unable to put 2 and 2 together, ranting about some of the few good things on an otherwise average show, because their disney like utopies didn't happen. Ahh well, "otakus" having zero artistic sensibilities is a given these days.

The hype train was pretty strong in the beginning. So the phrase, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" comes to mind, most people hated the Ending.

Spielberg knows his shit. He doesn't need, nor actually does, to defend his movies.

And it's not about even about defending it. Those companies don't care about their products on an artistic or moral level. For them it's all money, and if it doesn't do well, especially a new ip, it's just tossed aside. Their actions is irrelevant to the quality of the product.

This anime's high praises and scores proves it's not garbage. It's not a gem either but the polarized hate it gets is unreasonable since it's clearly a very lousy minority voicing it.

Some of you guys don't know how lucky you are to have general forums like this where you can read and write all kinds of opinions... But stupidity has its limits and all this trolling will have consequences. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have taken drastic measures, censoring and disabling features, to protect themselves against trolls. You're ruining more than just an animes reputation, you're ruining the internet and the west's reputation.

All those people complaining about how the show went downhill after episode XX, haven't really seen a truly high quality drop in terms of animation/characters/story.

If it really was that bad, the votes distribution in the episodes' threads would go from something like this



to this



and finally this



Yes, that's 0 out of 5.


I'm not saying the show does not have its flaws (it does), but it's not that bad. If you haven't seen something like Nadia, you don't know what a high quality drop is.
