i want season 5 😤

I’m surprised. I thought this version of the story had only superficial improvements to the 80’s OVA. I also thought it took away little things here and there that were good. … and added in horribly placed exposition dumps in it’s dialogue AND a terrible character change.

@TRC_Randy Explain yourself

@TRC_Randy Why did you think it was better?

I would agree that it looks better more generally. I’d also agree that the voice acting and dialogue is paced way better. What else though?

I mean you’re right that the animation isn’t good in the OVA haha, so I guess there’s a difference in priorities.

I actually liked the style a bit more in the OVA though. The nail some battle sequences in a way that feels more like how space battles would be. The choice to minimize the amount of noise in particular is a key difference with the new adaptation.

The interior of the ships also feels more original. You know with the Greek pillars and vast open spaces. Most of what I saw in the new adaptation felt like generic space cruiser vibes.

And yeah, I just don’t think the new adaptation did a good job handling exposition and explanations. Some things they shortened which provided good context or made scenarios more interesting; other things they add awkwardly disrupt a scene … and they convey information that’s better left to the audience to glean for themselves anyway. Like there were things to do better from the OVA; don’t get me wrong. But idk, I guess they just didn’t realize what needed improvement beyond the obvious things like cleaner animation and direction.
