What kills me is that this show has a higher score than Back Arrow

Arrow was rad btw

Naaah, it had another big problem - it was excessively melodramatic. Tearjerker tropes, absurd twists for the sake of it and they even stole the main villain from Orguss 2.
Also you are comparing a super robot to a real robot show. Kyoukai Senki being the second type is supposed to do some "boring" technical stuff instead of the "who will put the most convincing speech" battle shounen shtick.

Dude, it's been like only 3 episodes.

Nyron said:

Yeah but this is really dull regardless of it being RR show.

Nyron said:
Also just watched Rumble Garanndoll and it's the same god damn show as this, beat-for-beat but a super robot show lmfao.

alshu said:

Yep, they don't know what to do with the characters (thus they do the "bullied teenager" shtick) and with the story in general. Its only good parts are the mecha porn and the tactics which somewhat make sense in universe.
My point was - it's expected for a real robot to have slower pacing...also Back Arrow used its faster pacing for melodrama instead for something interesting (thus I am liking Kyoukai Senki better).


They are very different beasts if you ask me. Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo is really intense and mainly a parody show chock-full with otaku references.
Yes, they have a similar thing going on - recruitment by a supposed terrorist organisation (hummm, Muteking the Dancing Hero has it too) still totally different approach (and both getting it wrong, Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo doing in on purpose tho).

Rumble Garrandoll is straight up parody tho.

The score is better because it's made by the legendary Sunrise company, the same one that Made Code Geass, and Gundam series in the past that won Anime Grand Prix multiple times. But so far the story, mecha, and the characters are fanatastic. You need to watch more Mecha anime from Sunrise to understand it more. For me this anime is already the best in 2021.

It's seems that you are too lazy to do some searching so here is a brief history.
List of years that Sunrise won Anime Grand Prix:
1979 - Mobile Suit Gundam
1980 - Mobile Suit Gundam
2002 - Gundam SEED
2004 - Gundam SEED Destiny
2005 - Gundam SEED Destiny
2006 - Code Geass
2007 - Code Geass
2008 - Code Geass R2
2016 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
Next time give me more detailed arguments why do you think this show is bad, and what show is much better siuted to win Anime Grand Prix of 2021 with proper details.

Nyron said:


I've seen all of those shows, and AMAIM is none of those shows. I've also seen dozens of other mecha works.

I can't even fathom anyone who's seen more than two anime in their whole life saying that this series' story, character or mecha are anything close to "fantastic." It's just fucking outrageous. It's "inoffensive" at best.

This show fucking sucks lmao. Three episodes and it feels like less than an episode's worth of content has happened. 90% of the scenes are panning shots of characters standing around. The characters are boring and terrible. The tone is all over the place too - is this a serious geopolitical war show, or gundam build divers/digimon? It's too boring to be a children's series and too stupid and flat to be a show for adults.

And yet it has a higher score than Back Arrow, despite sharing the same audience.

Arrow was rad btw

I mean, they are both Saturday morning cartoons, shows intended for a younger audience, that are meant to be relatively elementary. They are also both very anachronistic; they feel ripped from 2005. These aren't meant for avid seasonal viewers who scrutinize every moment of every episode. This is another concept westerners, sub readers, don't understand: these are either shows for kids or shows you enjoy as background noise.

Nyron said:

i intend on watching this entire show and having the #1 review, which will be a 4/10, while also updating all of you on how much it sucks week-by-week

though I would really, really enjoy it suddenly becoming good

bruh.. are you 10 or what?

A bit late to this, but actually the fact I have watched so much Sunrise mecha makes this one feel kinda...dull lol. I'll stick with it probs and like the actual idea is fine, but it feels so bland in execution so far in comparison to every other Sunrise mecha show I've watched that has a similar plot. Back Arrow also kind of started dull though and then got extremely good, so I'll be patient ig with it.

Cross Ange was better than this.

This is Sunrise Beyond, a new sub studio, their only success is Build Divers Re:RISE.

Guess what? Back Arrow has the Code Geass director and Gurren Lagann writer and it still failed to capture a good rating.

Look I love Sunrise but this isn't the new Gundam or Code Geass, this is the new Valvrave/Buddy Complex and even those had better world building and reason's for conflict:
- Buddy Complex invents a fictional mineral/energy source like Code Geass did to justify its war.
- Valvrave: The Liberator has a neutral nation caught between two super powers (copying Gundam SEED) and said nation being left out of the alien vampire conspiracy.

Kyoukai Senki rips off Code Geass but forgot the crucial element; why bother conquering Japan?

Rumble Garanndoll didn't forget this and does an original spin (having a country being invaded by an alternate militaristic version of itself).
