Re: Synduality Noir

Well, that ended rather...predictably. I have to assume that inbreeding's the main reason why all of Ideal ended up blindly following a self-centered moron like Weisz-shite for years on end.

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

The admixture of Cunus in Bravern's circumstances would explain a lot about his more questionable moments in the earlier episodes.

Kinda surprised how Hiro (the fat lips pilot) is still alive after the repeated time-looping number on him. Can't say the same for the accidental astronaut.

Re: Metallic Rouge

This far in, my impression is that this could be charitably described as an 'animator's show,' primarily a vehicle to showcase the studio's talent & technical ability, like that sequence in the tunnel where Naomi doffs her environmental suit. It's been described as old-school Disney-esque in how...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

The scarcity of replies is rather reminiscent of the officers' collective silence during Bravern's monologue. Anyways, it's been noted that the aliens' main carrier launched seven smaller ships which landed on Earth, with the one landing off the coast of Hawaii being controlled by 'Superbia,' one of...

Re: Metallic Rouge

The show's not quite grabbing me yet with the first episode, although it did give me some Armitage III vibes due to the Mars + cyberpunk themes.

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

I guess the earlier mention first episode twist is that this is more of a Super Robot show than Real Robot, at last as far as Bravern is concerned There's already speculation of a big plot twist in connection to Bravern's ultimate origin, based on his initial interaction with Isami such as how he w...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Initial reaction from viewers seem to be generally quite positive, asides from hurrdurr influencershills dismissing it out of hand. Perhap's they're envious of Bravern's well-defined, fuzz-free chin. I wanted to remark how the CGI had a very 'Orange' feel to it, only to find out that Orange actually...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

It's an original Cygames IP, so I won't be surprised if there's a complete subversion of what was presented in the PV trailers and the show headed into an unexpected direction by the end of the first episode. Zombie Land SAGA & Akiba Maid Wars turned out to be nothing like their PV trailers, so ...

Re: Grendizer U (TV) News

I'm curious as to why Sayaka now has purple hair; the choice might have been informed by how Hikaru & Maria both have brown hair. I also have to note that Mazinger's design here seems to be influenced by the original manga version more than anything else. I may as well try out the recent Grendiz...

Some days late with the news, but filming is scheduled to start this January. Given the stuff that's happened recently, it's understandable.

Re: Moving Cities?

No mention of the Cities in Flight tetralogy by James Blish, one of its main progenitors (and then some)? For shame.

Anyways, you should read it, Mafty.

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I

Now looking forward to Shinn whacking someone with a sword (and maybe failing miserably). I wish Hirai would stop with all the pouty bee-stung lips, though.

The rumour mills have failed me.

But I guess it's necessary to maintain production quality.
