Grex11's Profile

Finally starting the classic that is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've heard people love this series while others hate it, but I don't see any real reason to dislike it yet.

It's more like I feel you'd mind the flashbacks and stock animation much more than I did. Also, I can just tell you the differences between versions for a given scene, and you can rewatch it in its original form if you're curious enough.

An 8 for ef? I wasn't expecting you to give it such a high score.

What do you think of green jacket Lupin so far?

Well I'm taking a short break, been mostly listening to music and playing some games in order to chill out before my exams which started today. I'm not sure whether I'll be watching much anime over the next two weeks or so, when I'll come back I'll finish GLT and skip Magus' Bride for now, I've been putting my PTW off for too long, I stopped caring about making lists and stuff.

As for that episode, yeah, it was very strong, easily the most hard-hitting episode for me, even if the entire show has been kept in this same gloomy style filled with glimmers of joy, this is, what i feel like, it's been culminating to, getting some answers about all those life questions. Really looking forward to finishing the show.

Excited. No one in my friends list who actually completed the show gave it below an 8. And ten people including you gave it 10s, two of those who haven’t even finished it yet.

I still expect that before Madoka Rebellion gets a proper followup :/

Neat. Hopefully you like the show. I could see you going either way but hope it is positive. At the very least you don’t have a bias against anime original content.

Also added on to the comment, plan to see what’s so hot with 3-Gatsu 2.

I’ll keep that in mind, regardless of where my feelings lie on ef. Probably gonna watch the second season of 3-Gatsu No Lion after finishing a bunch of the Macross stuff. I’ve heard wonderful things from almost everyone, 10s all around. Season 1 was great aside from maybe a bit of the comedy and the stuff that didn’t involve Rei being not nearly as investing. Hopefully Season 2 will even do better.

As is Soul Eater, though I’d save that for October, for obvious reasons. The appropriate Halloween review

So ef is good stuff? SHAFT shafting as always? Neat.

Might have to give Parasyte a try since I really enjoyed Devilman.

I'll take you up on that! (heh, nice to have a youtuber who doesn't lock comments)

Thanks so much, man!

Are you the Youtube reviewer? I'm the guy who just saw your Gankutsuou review and left a comment. I literally just subscribe. Sad to see you go on an indefinite hiatus, hope you end up doing well. Hope it's okay to friend you to check out your list for reccs.

It's sad that you had to quit 2 days after I subscribed but I understand. Well at least I can marathon rest of your videos. Legend of the Galactic Heroes comparison videos you did are some of my favourite youtube content I've seen recently. Thank you for all your work and I wish best of luck to you sir!

"why must every Gundam romance be terrible"
It comes with the territory, I'm afraid.

"Speaking of which, I've noticed Seed seems to have a "remaster" that makes significant visual changes. Which version would you recommend?"
Truthfully, I haven’t actually seen the remastered version of Seed. One of the things Gundam Seed was heavily criticized for was an over-reliance on flashbacks and stock footage. I’ve heard that the remaster cuts down on that and adds some extra scenes. I did download a few episodes of the remaster to check out my favorite parts of the show. I feel that certain changes made, particularly when it comes to music, were questionable. And I was never bothered all that much by the flashbacks and stock footage in the first place. I’m sure you know about all those Star Wars fans who passionately believe that the theatrical releases are the only proper versions of the original trilogy. While I would like to watch the remaster one day, the original will always be the “true” version for me. However, for a first-time viewer, I think the remaster is the way to go.

"I've cut off my YouTube channel for the time being, due to a variety of factors, so I'll probably be a bit slower trucking through the rest of Gundam without the hard deadline to produce videos. Still, I very much plan to complete the franchise; I enjoy "projects" like this."
I can't imagine all the pressure you're under, with the end of the semester approaching and your video release schedule. Well, no matter what you decide to do regarding your channel, we've always got MAL.

On a different note, have fun with the "best" Gundam.

Suppose watching 300+ episodes of Gintama probably conditioned you enough to Japanese tone reading. On the other hand to Yamada, there’s the Monogatari series, which only really could work with Japanese. Maybe Nichijou too but I haven’t seen that yet.

Yeah, Jessica's new design is pretty good for her.

FOR THE ORIGINAL. I'd want to keep up with it currently so I'm going sub there. Though I might be tempted to hear the dub on certain episodes. Similar for Full Metal Panic, which I'm caught up with now in sub, despite the fact that the dub is having all the major character voices return, including ones who don't voice act much anymore. The only shows this season I am watching dub are Tokyo Ghoul Re, HeroAca S3, and Hinamtasuri because Funimation got simuldubs for them. The first two at the same time as the Japanese. Hinamatsuri is a few weeks off, but I'm watching that one in dub as well. For comedy's sake reading tone is easier for me if a show is dubbed.
Similar reason why I could only see myself liking a show like Yamada-kun in anime form in dub, because the gimmick of the show is specifically enhanced with voice acting as opposed to text, and made much clearer to an English speaker when you hear the voice actors change tones during body swapping. Thankfully Funimation has it.

Also, watching the LotGH reboot, I don't remember a brief moment of an intense car chase in the original (there might've been, I forget), but here, there was, when Yang was getting Jessica Edwards out of where the President's speech was being given. The latter events with soldiers arriving DID happen, but I forgot about the short car chase. I'll defend a lot about IG's modern production design but....yeah....Julian's new design is easily the worst one.
