After or before HL3? It may even come after Megaman Legends 3, if you know what I mean.

Who knows..there was a trailer leaked months ago lol, the man directing it should be full steam ahead after finishing Shin Godzilla.

the opening?

I think you might be thinking of Crossbone Gundam -- thats one series i havent actually seen yet and ive seen almost all of them....

While were on about OSTs and such. I have noticed that a lot of the songs/themes used in the older gundam animes apart from the OP and ED were predominantly classical arrangements. Im sure there are plenty of examples from other animes but one modern one is by a composer called 'HIROYUKI SAWANO' -- he did the soundtrack for Gundam Unicorn and that had some serious classical arrangement albeit blended in with rock music here and there. Not even WIng series had proper classical arrangements, it was more like rock.

Yeah that opening song and I love Unicorn gundam soundtrack.
We should be seeing Gundam NT OVA next year...

Started watching Darling in the FranXX and I actually really like it. Also has the best OST of all time. Heard about it from all the Zero Two memes and then actually needed something to watch so figured I’d give it a go.

From what I saw before I started I thought it might be a bit much for me, and in the first few episodes I almost quit but I’m glad I stuck with it. The styling is probably my favorite ever (praise studio trigger) and the story is surprisingly good so far. Also watching this dubbed and I think I might like it way better than the sub.

Since I blow through shows so quick I figured I’d limit my episodes per day, and today is episode 20. I’ve heard there is a twist coming up (don’t know what it is) and I hope it doesn’t ruin the series for me.

Also seems very inspired by NGE, not that I’m complaining. With a little tiny bit of Knights of Sidonia thrown in.

Heh, twist. More like a**pull.
The story was good, and the ending songs are the best.

bubbleawsome · Dec 12, 2018

Hope it doesn’t invalidate the rest of the show?

GoldenX · Dec 12, 2018

No, but it could have been better... realised.
I'm waiting for SSSS Gridman to end (another Trigger show), that and Slime to see why people say it's so good. Meanwhile, Aobuta and Iroduku.

bubbleawsome · Dec 12, 2018

Well everyone was right about ep.20 being something else entirely :eek:

bubbleawsome · Dec 13, 2018

Technically I guess I should mark it as a spoiler

mars orbit? I feel like I'm seeing some sharks near a jump haha

GoldenX · Dec 13, 2018

Wait for it...

Anyone watched Aldnoah Drive? Currently watching season 1 on epsiode 8 so far on netflix, kinda get Gundam and Zone of the Enders vibes over it.

Ah, one of urobutcher gen woks, watched it a while ago, actually don't remember much and was thinking of valverape the liberator...
But i remember enjoying this...

GoldenX · Dec 13, 2018

I've heard it's great until the second season, who doesn't have the Urobutcher as director.

Honestly me after finishing FranXX. I'm not sure I really want an S2, but I'm going to miss the series.

Not even sure I feel like starting another series now.

Honestly I watched only the first episode and thought it was weird, the build up kind of reminded me of Macross Frontier episode 1, with the whole main character meeting another main character in lake/forest half naked.
I have no comment sadly but its popular so it must be good right..?(Looking at you SAO)

bubbleawsome · Dec 14, 2018

I'm not sure it's *good* but it's definitely not bad. Like I said before the art is amazing at least. It does start off pretty weird but loses it entirely by episode 10, and honestly probably only has a few moments before that. It is also 100% neon genesis inspired, like obviously, but it isn't a ripoff and has some better moments and some worse moments than NGE.
It does kinda lose its own thread a little in later episodes but the underlying story is actually pretty good all the way through and I enjoyed it. Not sure it's the kind of show my depressed self should've watched though as the end does give you a bit of a punch in the nads even if it's expected.

My final rating would be 6/10 overall, but 9.5/10 if you're in it for an emotional ride and cute as heck smiles.
Meme that covers it 100% for me, no spoilers.

(no way to direct link, sorry)

And if you watch and decide to end it at the end of episode 15 or at episode 18 at exactly 16 minutes and 42 seconds (not a frame over) I wouldn't blame ya.

GoldenX · Dec 14, 2018

There is a series about a character writer that good to a small rural town to calm down. I can't remember the name, but it's a good healer.
My verdict on DitF that it's like Guilty Crown, not great, not bad, with really good moments.

About Japanese calligraphy, Barakamon, pretty good...

bubbleawsome · Dec 14, 2018

I'll try to find it but if you can think of it let me know. I need a show that that now :oops:

Oh well djisas ninja'd me

djisas · Dec 14, 2018

Healing anime would be stuff like meguka, higurashi or even shiki...

The final rebuild is still coming

I am absolutely convinced it's not going to be worth the wait. Hideaki is simply incapable of crafting a proper end for this series.

You monster. School days too.

GoldenX · Dec 17, 2018

Good news, Makoto Shinkai is working on another movie. Bad news, you won't have enough room in you for the feelz.

Guess I gotta go watch Your Name real quick
