i miss having boomerang
that's funny. not even in a "you gotta be kidding me" funny, i just find that amusing given my take Space can be cool too but from what I've seen it takes much more effort to not look like boring shit. idk
oh boy another thread i dont understand and cant relate to posting anyway
lol what i was just using context. i had no idea. i thought amaury misheard something
I know literally nothing about Macross except that Jetfire from G1 was just a Macross toy with an Autobot logo on it. Yeah I get that, it's just refreshing for me to get something that at least attempts to break the mold in some ways. I don't think adding aliens immediately makes it not about humans, given that it's about human misinterpretation and still very much commentating on the human experience in doing this. But I get that it's not what you want from Gundam in that respect. That's cool. What someone has seen will pretty much always affect how well something is received. If I had seen Macross before this I may have a similar opinion as you do. I mean, yeah, you shouldn't. But if it's just for your personal enjoyment, as long as you recognize that those problems are present and the material is worse when you don't ignore them, I don't have a problem with ignoring context. Unless the context is absolutely critical to the movie and it doesn't work without it, which I do not think is the case here. Though it's not a problem for me because I like it regardless. I like when the ms's have a sense of weight and you don't get that in space. I also think guns with bullets are more fun to watch than guns with lasers (generally). And maybe it doesn't help that Seed, being my first series, cut so many corners with stock footage that not a single fight was distinguishable from another at times in space, tainting my view of space battles. just a guess. Basically what I'm saying is 08th ms team is ****ing gorgeous.
apparently it means get off me
so, as much as I like one piece, it's refusal to kill anybody bugs me a little now, this is a light-hearted story and I don't want all of the people that should die to actually die, but there are times where it goes to absurd lengths to make sure that no one dies Spoiler: punk hazard spoilers I refuse to believe that Caesar, the guy who kidnapped children and experimented on them knowing that the experiments would kill them, blew up an entire populated island out of spite, and poisons his own subordinates would let there be a cure or way to reverse this supposed ultimate chemical weapon. It really undercuts how evil this guy is and how dark this arc was, which were two of the few things I liked about this arc.
for some reason i barely even noticed klk was a thing right up until i decided to watch it i mean i saw people with avatars and stuff, but it wasn't like attack on titan or frozen where its just ****ing everywhere and i cant escape
yes
my last name means something to do with spreading liquids. wut thats pretty lame
My 00 is super rusty. I haven't watched it in years so I can't even comment on it aside from that I remember liking s1 so much more. Here's my thing with Awakening. For me, it's kind of the anti-war Gundam story to end all anti-war Gundam stories. I never need another one after this. I'm not going to comment on it's relationship to the parent story because I don't know the parent story well enough to say anything with confidence, but I've heard people say that it's a terrible conclusion to 00, which, yeah I can see that. However I think as a stand-alone movie, it works wonderfully (conceptually, that is). Gundam's thing has always been preaching understanding and communication as a means to an end rather than war, and I think when you add aliens to the mix after there never being aliens for 30 years, it immediately becomes more interesting and this is by far my favorite way that Gundam has approached this. I love the idea that these aliens are basically just trying to reach out and hug people but the humans mistake it for a threat and thus the whole movie is about communication, making the "why can't we just understand each other" trope that Gundam has done to death feel a little less contrived and a little more unique because the reason is THEY'RE ****ING ALIENS. It's anything but a traditional Gundam story, and all the better for it. I think when this movie is viewed without any context of the setting it's in and the history surrounding it, it immediately becomes much better. and yeah, the combat is kinda boring. Though I think all Gundam space combat is somewhat boring, so this seemed to be in line with that. I much prefer when they're on land.
fair enough. though imo klk loses part of its distinct identity in any language other than japanese. but i get it. for me it's a case-by-case thing. i'm generally not that picky unless it's something that i've always watched a certain way. will never watch code geass subs.
i dont even want to know what mine means
are you not willing to watch it otherwise?
to be fair i have yet to watch the actual series in dub yet so maybe i shouldnt be talking about 00's dub i want to hear more on this because it seems like most people who like gundam are either indifferent to it or dislike it. whereas i dare to call it my favorite gundam show/movie/ova. not sure yet. do tell
so we were talking about dubs recently yo. that gundam 00 dub is ****ing phenomenal. never watching sub again. watched awakening of the trailblazer today in english (first time i watched gundam 00 anything in english) and was blown away by the voices.
khv fite nite always attracts a crowd i guess
admins be watchin this place like a hawk
but what you don't understand is that i am, by default, always right and am therefore justified in everything i say. the sooner you people realize this, the better.
