The thing with Captain Earth is it had so much it could have done with the setting, yet for some reason they were content to spend literally half the show slowly introducing the Planetary Gears one by one by giving them backstories in their human forms which didn't end up mattering because their personalities changed when they got their memories back.Like, don't get me wrong, I don't mind an excuse to have cool mecha fights on Earth, but they could have just cut to the chase, introduced all these characters as villains in one episode and they would have had significantly more time to develop other aspects on the show instead of spending so much time on characters that amounted to nothing. If they had given them less initial screentime then it would have made more sense when Puck basically kicked them out of the way at the end and revealed himself the true final boss because then it wouldn't have felt like all of that development was for nothing.
>>19332663Yes, this is basically the biggest problem with the show. I also think the romance was very weak. I wish it clarified whether the villains were aliens whose minds were uploaded into human bodies, or just humans who had copies of the aliens memories. I know it's kind of a ship of Theseus situation, but it seems weird that one of them is a hero who doesn't seem particularly bothered by at least having memories of being a immortal space vampire who genocided countless alien planets. You'd think someone would be concerned about working with him or he would feel guilty about it or something. Kind of a big think to sweep under the rug, especially if they are supposed to be the same entities as the original aliens.
>>19332663I'd written this show off, but it looks like it has booba. I will now watch, thank you.
>roger smith says it’s one of his favourite mecha>watch the first episode to see why>had to turn it off after 5 minutes because it’s actually shit>found a neat lewd with the tan girl and jerk off to it instead
>>19333745Not only are you paying attention to the opinion of an eceleb, you're paying attention to the opinion of an eceleb who couldn't even come up with his own unique username and just straight up used the name of the protagonist from Big O.
>>19332663The whole thing was a sex joke.
The entire thing was solely for porn.It's like criticizing racing video game for poor story.
>>19333828Redline had a good story though.
>>19333883It would be just as good even without it.
>>19332663I dropped this series after about 5 episodes, I only remember it had Shinn and Lunamaria, and the girl who did a belly button dance.
>>19333745I was surprised to see a Captain Earth doujinshi get translated so many years after it finished.
Curse of studio bones
>>19332663yes
>>19333883>>19333904redline had a horrible and stupid story, it should have been just 30 minutes of racing instead of 40 minutes of racing and 1 hour of nothing
The squirrels were adorable. Bones makes cute mascots, why not make a mecha anime with animals as the main cast?>Anon nobody would watchKeroro Gunsou proved otherwise.
>>19334581>why not make a mecha anime with animals as the main cast?Star Fox?
>>19334581yiff in hell furfag >>>/trash/
>>19332663It was a thoroughly standard mecha show, with some cool robots and fun moment. Definitely flawed but you can't expect every show to be worth it. Captain Earth is exactly what I expect and want from bones and I love them for it.
>>19334671Certainly it's true that not every show is going to be great, it's just that this one went so far as to confidently state in its own logo that it was going to offer an unforgettable experience so it's not surprising that people are unhappy that it was a disappointment in that regard.
>>19332663It's good SRW bait at least
>>19334671There's a lot of "standard mecha show" to it, but I think the stubborn postivity sets it somewhat apart. A lot of shows would have pretty downbeat elements and Captain Earth seems like it's going for that a bunch of times only for the cast (especially the main character) to just kind of... disagree. Usually without fanfare or much drama, just "yeah, I broke that enslavement broadcast tower because I said I'd show you my boomerang". There's a lot of things the show fumbled, but I really liked that element and I don't think I've seen its like except maybe in Planet With.
>>19334681The moment the eyecatch told you "EVERYTHING WILL BE OBVIOUS SOON" should've been the second red flag.
I realized that they never resolved the thing about that one guy getting his mind overwritten by puck. They defeated the main puck but the puck'd guy is still around, unless he magically became braindead after the original died.
>>19336254I thought that was a great eyecatch, if the show was better that line probably would have become a classic /m/ quote.
>>19334681Isn't that quote taken from a book?
>>19336275No, but "Let justice be done though the heavens fall" is, along with 90% of the episode titles in that show.
>>19336260Yes, the show basically forgot its own main villain was still around. I remember bringing this up when it first aired, but just like now the only thing people have to say about the show is "I want to fuck the brown girl" or "The robots were cool".
>>19332663sexy girls
>>19333745oh c'mon, this is /m/ we watch our shit ALL the way.
>>19332663It could have been better, but it was a solid enough show that was entertaining and finally gave me a brown skinned heroine who gets the conventionally attractive MC so based on that its one of my bias favorites.
>>19336837>but just like now the only thing people have to say about the show is "I want to fuck the brown girl" or "The robots were cool".I will add that I appreciate the character development of the main cast throughout the show. I distinctly remember a point in the show where one of the planetary gears confesses that he killed the MCs father, and the MC cooly states that he already knew. I recall respecting the show for that moment because in any other mech anime they would have played such a scene for all the dramatic tension they could wring from it, but here they allowed the MC to portray a level of maturity and levelheadedness not often seen in the genre. Its not much, but it lets you know there were competent heads in charge of the show even if all we got in the end was mediocre.
>>19334581Fuck off duel
>>19334581Reasons why people like Keroro>Cute girls>Gag comedy related to the gadget/side character of the week formula like Doraemon>Failed alien invasion plot>Gundam references>Other anime/tokusatsu references>Cute girlsThe frogs themselves are very low on the spectrum of reasons why people watch Keroro, and if they really wanted to go watch an anime with cute mascot animals they'd go and watch Kemono Friends instead.
>>19337815>finally gave me a brown skinned heroine who gets the conventionally attractive MCI'm racking my brain thinking of an anime with a brown skinned heroine besides this one and the only one I can think of is Aquarion EVOL.
>>19337889And even in that case, she lost HARD.
>>19337889Great Mazinger.
Didn't care enough to finish it. It had nice animation and designs going for it but the story was a huge dud. Same level as Heroman.
>>19337843You first, Neglect
>>19333904>>19334552You know, I named Redline on a whim because that was a racing anime I liked a lot, but I just looked into it and it turns out that Redline was quite literally written by the Captain Earth guy. So if you don't like Captain Earth's story it actually makes sense that you don't like Redline's either.
>>19337889Liz from IGPX?
>>19337952Well she actually won so clearly >>19337815 was not thinking of her.
>>19337952Oh yea, I forgot about her.
>>19337952I honestly can't remember if they say she's black or if she was "anime hispanic" black.
>>19338001Her name is Liz Ricarro, and she's... well she's Puerto Rican apparently. But we're talking about "brown" so anyone within the color spectrum counts.
>>19336855Nah, fuck that “3 episode test” noise and any other variations of it. If you can’t make something that intrigues or at least entertains me in 5 - 10 minutes you’ve already lost me.
>>19338030>she's Puerto Rican apparentlyneatlike, from the island or from New York/Florida like most PRs
>>19334581Pitz and Lappa were cute, not sure why if the former is male would transform into a human girl though.
>>19338244I don't think Pitz's gender was ever stated so it could be a girl. Alternatively the human girl could just be a very feminine boy.
>>19338259Lappa was feminine in design and color, it'd make more sense if Pitz was male. On the other hand they could be intersexual like amphibians.
>>19338067She shows a pic at one point, and I guess they implied she was from the island since it's shows rural area.
>>19338520ehh, Florida can have some rural areas for PRs, toostill, that's some good intel
>>19338632I recommend the show by the way, it is actually one of those truly great overlooked modern mecha anime that nobody talks about.
>>19338680so I've heardI might pencil it in for after I finish AD Police TV on Tuesdays
>>19338632Also, it was made in 2000, before most of the rural areas in central Florida were demolished for more McMansions.
>>19334581
>>19340029Wholesome and amusing
>>19340384I wonder why someone made it though. Earliest it was posted on /m/ is in 2018, four years after Captain Earth aired. Which means someone out there actually decided "It's 2018 and I'm drawing this picture of the mascot character from a forgotten mecha anime from four years ago holding the Infinity Gauntlet."
>>19340449 I remember seeing a screencap of a certain shitposter's archived posts, posting in one of those threads where drawfags might draw your suggested idea.
>>19340449It ain't forgotten on /e/ I can tell you that.
>>19340547Or /a/, I see people asking for Hanna lewds at least once a week.
>>19340552Do you really need more when you've got that godly Gorgonzola doujin?
>>19340449Infinity War was in theaters that year so that's probably the joke.
>>19340557Coomers gonna coom.
>>19340573Seems strange to do that when you already have all the fap bait you need. You'd be better served getting a copy of the doujin for your collection, or commissioning a decensor
>>19340583Are you serious? There is no upper limit to how much you need.
>>19340583Ask Hannafag or whoever requests her in those threads.
>>19340449There's one guy that /r/s Pitz drawings everywhere.
>>19340853I really don't care about some idiot, talk about giant robots instead, this show has plenty.
>>19341277The rules of the board explicitly state we can talk about the characters too, of which Pitz is one.
>>19343094Is Sora no Method /m/?
Captain Earth was the definition of a Bones anime.
>>19332663IT and Stardriver both had wasted potential on a similar story and setup.
>>19347046bones'd
>>19347061Now, if you want a Bones show that not only lived up to its potential but exceeded it, that would be Concrete Revolutio. However you have to consider that Concrete Revolutio is the definition of a "hard mode" anime. You have to be ridiculously smart in order to correctly follow everything that's going on in there. It makes G-Reco look like a cave painting.
Captain Earth also had some highly aesthetic Blu-ray covers.
>>19347664I remember, I was thinking of making a custom mousepad with this picture on it, but then the show turned out kind of disappointing so I lost interest and now you can't get custom mousepads for $1 anymore.
>>19346981That's a load of shit if I've ever heard it.
>>19351720me on the left
>>19351744Sure bro. And I'm gay.
>>19334541
>>19353183
>>19347113>Now, if you want a Bones show that not only lived up to its potential but exceeded it, that would be Concrete RevolutioIt was their second worst title after Dragon Pilot. Maybe, I haven't seen season four of Hero Academia, that could be worse.
>>19353780I'm not in the mood to argue with someone who didn't understand it, who is probably the same person I have argued with multiple times over the years because that is how dedicated the Conrevo haters are.
>>19337889Gundam Turn A.
>>19355091This is weird because I literally woke up this morning screaming "TURN A GUNDAM!" remembering the post I made a few days ago, but I didn't come back to the thread. Then I get this response.

>>19355136That would certainly explain why you speak in reverse...
>>19334581>squirrelsAnon please they were rabbits
>>19357155Uh... they were aliens.
>>19338050This is actual ADHD
>>19334740Yeah that's an element that stuck out to me too.The show avoids a lot of situations that in other series would lead to lots of interpersonal drama.It was definitely refreshing, but I just wish it had been better.It feels kinda emotionally weightless because of how reasonable the characters are when dealing with those situations.I think just having a tad bit more drama would probably fix that.>>19334681>>19334671I liked it, but for a show with its production values I was kinda expecting a lot more.It's truly a shame how mediocre it all was because the visuals for this show were consistently amazing.Designs, animation, shots,etc.Bones' visually peaked in the 10s with AO, Captain Earth, and space dandy.Also it's funny to note just how wildly inconsistent the writing behind these shows was and how they went from Bad, decent, to good respectively.
>>19334740>>19359024Yeah, I like the characters reacting like actual humans instead of forcing in some overblown melodrama. It just needed to be in a better show. Makes me want to check out more stuff by the writer and/or director and see if they ever made something where they got it right.
>>19355646.mirrorS arE morE fuN thaN televisioN
>>19360840I've seen that kind of writing pop up in some other anime, but most aren't mecha.Crest/banner of the stars, Tsuki ga Kirei, and Horimiya are some series off the top of my head.
>>19358748Daitarn 3 did more to entertain and intrigue me in 5 minutes than Captain Earth could in the same timespan. Daitarn 3 is better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M4DHHRXVVQ
>>19363234Well of course, that's like saying Citizen Kane is better than Iron Man. Tomino works are on such a high level above everything else in the genre that it just plain looks silly to compare them.
>>19363234You must love trailers and AMVs
>>19363262Simpler than that. I like good shit. Drop bad shit.

>>19376630>REDLKNENever heard of it
>>19332663When I fell asleep during one of the Planetary Gear flashbacks, I knew this series was bad. 3-5 minutes of mecha action at the end of an episode only for nothing to change plot-wise doesn't justify all the time wasted, especially since the Gears didn't even matter in the end.
>>19376798Don't think I've ever fallen asleep in the middle of watching something, no matter how boring. Then again, maybe I don't have a very comfortable chair.
>>19377257That's the thing about sleeping. You have to be tired.
>>19380562Not necessarily.
>>19376703It was a typo. He meant Redline.
>>19385948That always bothered me about typos. They never say the right word.

>>19394176Manually, from the looks of it. I just looked through the pages and some maniac has been bumping 90% of the threads for hours. I can't conceive of what his endgame could possibly be. Trying to push a thread off the board that way would take hours of work, and I don't see any particularly interesting threads that have died. It's a real headscratcher, the kind of deranged minds that are attracted to /m/. I've never seen anything like it on the rest of the site.
Let's talk mechs, specifically the Kilt Gang bots, what are your thoughts on those?
>>19394345Don't remember what a single one of them looked like.

>>19332663>watch Captain Earth for cute brown girl>get bored after the first episodeShould I keep going?
>>19400505That depends on how much cute brown girl you want to see.
>>19400348Why did you bump this thread?
>>19400505Cute redhead is better
>>19400806There's not many redheads in anime, but they're always best girl.
Damn, did anyone care about this outside of sexy girls?
>>19403402Be fair, people would've cared if the Shakespeare stuff had a payoff like it did in Gargoyles, instead of just being there to sound cool.
>>19403402There are fans of the mechanic designer and there's Pitz Anon.
>>19403527Huh. Turns out it's the same guy who did G-Reco. He has pretty good design sense.
>>19405586He also made Captain Earth if you didn't know.
>>19407127Yeah, I watched that one actually. Show was pretty comfy.
>>19410896I kinda forgot it existed.
>>19412636That happens to me with mecha anime sometimes.
>>19414685The entire genre?
Salty Dog AI tanks were kind of neat.
>>19403437that was one of the biggest letdowns
>>19403437>>19416966Haven't watched Gargoyles since I was a kid, what's this about Shakespeare stuff having a payoff? Does Shakespeare himself appear or what?
>>19419252>Haven't watched Gargoyles since I was a kid, what's this about Shakespeare stuff having a payoff? Does Shakespeare himself appear or what?MacBeth literally happened in the Gargoyles history and one of the characters is literally Puck from A Midsummer's Night Dream.
>>19421457Does this mean that witches really exist in the Gargoyles universe?
Captain Earth was great up until the lackluster climax and ending. Everything up to that point was great. Still a 7/8 out of 10 show.
>>19423029>Does this mean that witches really exist in the Gargoyles universe?Yes. They literally show up at points and interact with the characters.
>>19423066Seven out of eight out of ten? So an 8.5?
Ah yes, the nice typography show.
>>19425253Got any more of these?
>>19427194
>>19428103
I have the fondest memories watching this with /m/, and that's probably enough for me.
It was a terrible piece of shit from beginning to end. Igarashi and Enokido are two crooks that never fulfilled a single promise.
>>19428177What exactly did they promise? I'm genuinely curious.
We needed more of her.
>>19428186They said something like "we're going back to the roots of anime, when anime was cool and simple like Astro Boy", this kind of bullshit.
>>19429145Ah, the classic "Literally every indie game's Steam page" line. Every time a game, or anime, does that, it's automatically a red flag because you know they're not confident enough in their product to sell it without an appeal to nostalgia.
>>19428797>Panties under the Garter belt
>>19429154Yeah, but its far worse when its an obvious lie, like here. Captain Earth never was supposed to be vintage or straight stuff, it's just Star Driver level of nonsense everywhere and usual flesh baits and memes for otaku crowd.
>>19430455The peak was Guilty Crown saying it was going to be the Evangelion for a new generation, and then it completely failing at that.Hell, as far as I know, the only lasting legacy from that show is that "It's time for PLOT" GIF.
>>19429166ehh, lots of people don't know how you're supposed to wear them
>>19430478I think Guilty Crown was Sawano's first anime. So it was responsible for the endless amount of soundtracks he has now done.
>>19430455I haven't heard of ExArms and googled it to see the general reception to it and holy fuck, this is funny.
The lack of Flare Engine in the series is inexcusable. Girls are nice though
>>19430951Oh man, DaiShogun was hilarious. I remember how disappointed I was when I came to /m/ and people were just getting genuinely mad at the bad animation instead of enjoying the ride. What's also funny is it actually had a pretty fun premise for a mecha series that they actually tried to take somewhat seriously while butchering the animation.
>>19432062I kinda liked it for how silly everything was.
>>19430981I found it unfortunate that Akari never got her own mech. She never complained, which is why she's best girl, but it's still a shame.
>>19435002The whole cast overall was pretty nice. Daichi has way more resolve and balls than most of the mecha protags from last decade.
>>19429166It looks hotter bro.That's all that matters.If you actually take the panties off during sex you're gay anyway.They're hotter when they're on and you should just slide them to the side.
>>19437076Isn't that kind of hard with a garter belt in the way.
>>19438611no, you pull the part over the vagina to the sideshe could assless chaps, a skirt, stockings, whatever, it won't matterlol you've never fucked a chick while she had her panties on have you
>>19438650I've never fucked a chick AT ALL, you're going to have to be a bit more detailed here.
>>19439530(Isildur voice) No.
>When you realize Hana shares the same VA as Inori and Atago.
>>19442242Ai Kayano is extremely prolific. An Azur Lane character seems an odd choice to use as one of your first examples.
>>19429225Mmm... it's always an obvious lie.
>>19334671this webm is what convinced me to try it the first time and I couldn't make it through the whole series because it was so fucking derivative and none of the lore had any thought put into it. And all the characters were bland. Also for those curious: scenes like this are very rare in the show. The fights are almost never animated this good, and on top of that, this scene right here was literally it in terms of sick animation for that episode.
>>19444529Derivative of what? Genuine question, I'd like to watch some older show that might be like Captain Earth but better.
>>19444677That's a saurprising question.
>>19442392Both Atago and Hana nut bustingly hot.
>>19448518Well, if we're talking hot shipgirls voiced by Ai Kayano, I'm going to have to go with Ro-500.
>>19437048this looks edited
>>19450056well it is
>>19450056>>19452083How can either of you even tell?
>>19453597There are some subtle hints. You'll learn to recognize them.
>>19432112this show was pure shit
>>19457990seiso kuso
>>19460461What?
>>19463219Don't think too heavily on it.
>>19464317I wish the makers of Captain Earth had thinked heavier on the writing.
>>19467396You should thinked heavier on English lessons...
>>19460461Pure shit indeed
>>19332663All I remember from this show is that notKaworu guy had a cool as fuck robot form which shows up for a single episode and then halfway through the show he gets an ugly blue version of main mecha.
>>19470651>random King Arthur reference in the middle of a show full of Shakespeare referencesIt had to go.
>>19471934You can go anytime too.
>>19473460I'm gonna stay right here. And you know what? I'm also going to make an obscure mythological reference.

>>19332663isn't this just what mecha shows do now?Darling in the Franxx was the same way. Interesting things up to the flashback episode, and then just shit out its own mouth for the rest of the show. Anyone keeping up with the franxx manga? Did it get canceled? Did they pull out a better ending? Has Franxx been included in a SRW yet and the characters get better endings?
>>19419252>>19421457eh, it kind of has a payout. They were leading to Macbeth and Demona falling in love and finally ending their curse and getting a happy ending, which might have given us a scottish gargoyle had magic changed macbeth into a gargoyle, or demona learning to forgive the humans as she was forced to live as one to be with macbeth....but they just kind of took a left turn and kept demona as a giant bitch For all the things I liked about Gargoyles, they really knew how to shit up character redemption and resolving any issues. The final season was hot garbage steamy shit.
>>19336268Man, she is really gullible.
>>19482647The Franxx manga finished a year ago. Why do you suppose this is such a consistent problem with mecha anime in particular?
>>19482679>For all the things I liked about Gargoyles, they really knew how to shit up character redemption and resolving any issues. The final season was hot garbage steamy shit.That might've been a Disney thing.>>19482647>Interesting things up to the flashback episode, and then just shit out its own mouth for the rest of the show.I think it's either they consistently run out of time to properly set things up, the people with the big ideas somehow can't figure out how to pay them off properly, budget, and/or random ass shit we can't even guess at.
>>19480372Oh shit! Uh... Nippur.
>>19484364>Why do you suppose this is such a consistent problem with mecha anime in particular?well, if it is like US cartoons, the staff don't really want to work on the show. American Animators don't want to make sci fi or fantasy shows like the way people working on tv shows did in the 70s and 80s. Kids that grew up with comics and scifi/fantasy int he 50s and 60s really wanted to tell those stories. They were just happy to get the jobs. Transformers is a good example. Most of the original G1 transformers is written by people that wanted to write super hero comics or star trek / star wars stuff. They were happy to get the job and wanted to write that sort of stuff. Its why so many of the doomsday devices and world domination schemes of megatron were a lot like 50s and 60s comics. Now, you got a lot of nerds that grew up with Utena, sailor moon, who wrote really creepy fan fics in high school about the Eds fucking harry potter. Thats what they really want to make and thats how we've gotten weird shit like steven universe and adventure time. They want to make generic adventure romance anime thats just a hair mysterious. They don't want to make thundercats. IF japan is like that, these guys don't want to give us traditional happy well thought out mecha anime endings. They really wish they were working on another show. So they just force in some bullshit ending. One that either they dont care about, one that they know will piss the fans off because they hate their fans for making them work on such a show, or force in the ending from the show they wish they were making. Given that Franxx's strongest episode was the flash back ep where 002 and hero and escapring together and that the klax are gencided, the big bad is not really defeated, and 002 and hero die out in space, I'm going to take a wild guess that the staff wished they were making dark shit like Grave of the Fireflies. You fall in love with the kids, then they die horribly.
>>19486909Hm... it's kind of ironic isn't it, because Trigger was supposed to be a studio with a lot more freedom than your average anime studio, full of people making the shows they actually wanted to make. And I think Kill la Kill was one such show, it really felt like they were having a great time making that show. But Franxx, I have no idea what happened to them that they ended up making it. Perhaps as they gained more success they also gained less freedom.

Perhaps as they gained more success they also gained less freedom.Too much freedom probably is the cuase, with Franxx, anyway. If the show was intended to sell toys, someone higher up would have came in and told them to fuck off with the sad shitty ending.Thats one reason you'll probably never see the MC of Gundam or Macross die at the end. The IP owners want to sell toys and model kits. If Franx was something like Gundam Unicorn, The nines would have stilled died, and the show would have ended with hiro and 002 on a sunny grassy hilltop, holding each other and looking off in the distance.
>>19487621>Trigger didn't make Franx. It was A1 Pictures, the SAO people.That explains why it was better than KlK, the Witch ovas, Luluco, and the lackluster Gridman sequel.
>>19482647They smashed episode 15 and the final act together.It's way better just by ending on Franxx's high point, a lil' rushed but it's fine, especially when the manga wasn't meant to go that far.
>>19488863>Thats one reason you'll probably never see the MC of Gundam or Macross die at the end. The IP owners want to sell toys and model kits.CCA literally ends with Amuro dying.
>>19488951>CCA literally ends with Amuro dyingyes. 8 years after the end of the show. In a movie. Luke dies too, 20 or 30 years after milking the original star wars for merch money.
>>19488941the manga is better
>>19488962That's what I said, yes.
>>19488941>They smashed episode 15 and the final act together.>It's way better just by ending on Franxx's high point, a lil' rushed but it's fine, especially when the manga wasn't meant to go that far.Just read it. It was a lot better. I would have rather the klax been saved and the princess merge with 002 to make 002 complete, but I guess this series was hell bent on some sort of grim or sad ending. At least the Manga ends with Hiro/002 surviving to be happy together and maybe have klax children.
any news on franxx getting into a srw? The klaxx and aliens are perfect for those sorts of games
>>19488958How about the fact that Zeta ended with Kamille rendered a vegetable and Fa crying about it? And that was literally the second Gundam ever. That's not exactly a happy ending for a toy show.

>>19490542>gameideasalmost had me. man, I wish that game was real.
>>19337823I agree with you about the characters being great, their interactions were entertaining and the performance by the voice actors were really on point, portraying their feelings in a great light. What it bothers me the most is that it feels that the plot was rushed in the last few episodes, a common trend in series made by Bones sadly, also the ending although it was okay, it makes me wish for more closure and a less ambiguous finale, but then again it just my opinion.
>>19492303I like ambiguous endings but it didn't really feel like it had earned it. I wish they'd learn to stop meandering but maybe we're in the minority and people enjoy that kind of thing because they keep doing it and they're still kicking.
>>19493566Hm. That seems like a lot of work for a studio like Bones.
>>19493946It's too bad, really. They put in all that effort for nothing.
>>19488966>>19489008Cute
>>19489008I watched one episode of this back when it started and I thought "Nah" but when the pink girl introduced herself as Zero Two I thought "Well surely she's going to be given a real name at some point, this screams temporary name." Are you telling me they seriously never stop calling her the name of the best Kirby boss throughout the entire series?
>>19495467Well, it wasn't entirely for nothing. I still watched it.
>>19497566I'd watch a spinoff about the mystery girl.
>>19500277Come and check out some of Bones newer shows. You may find what you're looking for.
>>19500277Pitz was mystery girl
>>19501159>PitzHe's a handsome man, and gender is fluid.
>>19479234 Maybe you were just on the cusp of puberty.
>>19493566I never thought she was that bad.
>>19332663This show had it's ups and downs and largely suffered from some really bad pacing, but heck if I didn't enjoy it for moments like these that were littered throughout it. If we were rating purely on enjoyment, I'd say I had liked it more than Aldnoah, especially since Aldnoah had to take itself so seriously all the time. andthisendingisactuallyhappy
>>19501137I feel like if we marathon watched it, it would seem a lot better. Waiting week for week made it seem even slower paced than it was. It could have been a really good show, but the pacing did kill it quite a bit.
>>19332663I have come here to laugh at Captain Earth.
>>19507575 Then she flipped out, grabbed his gun and shot him.
>>19337940Enokido has written a lot of things.
>>19510124Actually, it's a very good anime.

>>19512574Most of it's bad.
>>19512604Why did you type that?
>>19332663I honestly struggled to start it but once I got past the first few episodes I really enjoyed it. I'd watch again.
