Just watched the first ep of the new Terraformars anime. Didn't catch the vibe of the original at all, sadly. Might get better, yet doubtful, as no studio apparently makes good seinen anymore, all's shounened-up.
Dude where the hell have you been? xD
Shameless, dignity-less people...
If Berserk is full of this crap I won't bother myself to continue reading the Manga.

Oh and Isi, yes I did see her enjoying it. Man, these characters are just as f*cked as those in NGE.
Don't blame them though.
I would be too.
But her psyche seems to stem from something BEFORE the Eclipse. She intrigues me, despite her awful cruelty.
But one has to wonder how he loves her when he's the exact opposite.
That piece of awesome up there.
Gattsu is so cool it makes me feel inferior to everything.

BERSERRRK!
Good news for fans who want to see the Fate/Stay Night remake:

Can't wait!

I found all of the other characters to be far more likable than Kanda, I actually wanted to smack and yell at Kanda when he started acting dickish and began yelling at Mashiro, because you know, she wasn't at fault for anything, despite that I didn't hate him either.
So it pretty much goes without saying that Kanda didn't click with me either, but I think that was done on purpose and is a large point of the anime.

Of course I could be reading into this way to much and it could just be as simple as this:
Alriight, can quote this now that I'm done.
First, a few comments.
1. The anime is really solid. It's consistent with fleshed out characters and by the end of it, manages to touch them feels.
2. The only thing that the anime suffers from is Kanda. Who would have been a great character if they hadn't forced him to be such an emotional dude.
3. One last critique. I wish they fleshed out some of the minor characters more, they were a lot more interesting than Kanda.
4. Cats are cool. Kanda isn't
5. That graduation ceremony was a bloody tear-jerker and the best episode in the series.
Okaaaaaay. So anybody who wants a solid romance anime, try Sakurasou no Pet. Don't expect Clannad though, but you won't be disappointed.
Now, in regards to Kanda. The thing about him is that he's just too bland. They try to create some depth for the character, and on paper, there is, however, having him over-react to any situation like if it were the last day on Earth just takes away from the drama. This is why I preferred the side characters more. They were far more believable and rational, so you could empathise with them.
But Kanda?
Shiina's not in the house and he acts like she was f*cking murdered by the rape police.
Now take Gintama for example. Gintoki is really nonchalant 80% of the time. He gets angry here and there, but never to the extreme. So when you do see him serious, when you do see him emotional it really gets to you. It's a side of him you don't see often and it's great that he has it.
Just imagine if Tomoya from Clannad went on a rampage for any little thing. Then that episode where he really took it out on his father would NEVER have been as impactful. Humans hide things, and many people hide their emotions. Hell, I do it all the time (which is why I allow myself to let go with fiction.)
I've been so hurt I've felt like freaking vomiting, but I don't even blink xD I just laugh it off like it never happened.
Loads of people are like that. Sure, there are some that aren't, but from what I've seen, the majority bottle up their emotions.
So yeah, Kanda never really clicked with me. But the others did. Especially Jin. I saw tons of comments calling him a scumbag. Jesus, it's like they've never seen a promiscuous man in their lives. The important thing is that he abandoned all that crap for Misaki. -.-
The anime ends nicely. The romance isn't exactly resolved, but it doesn't leave you unsatisfied. I think I would have if I hadn't cared more about Jin and Misaki more than Kanda and whoever he chose. But still, what really got me invested wasn't the romance (which is what I watched it for in the first place) but the relationship and bond of everybody in Sakurasou... which I guess was the anime's main goal in the end.
I suspect I wont be watching anime for some time now.
Berserk has grabbed my by the balls.
@Bro
That's about the same how I'd describe Sakurasou aswell. It's solid, not bad nor amazing. It's not a waste of time but not something that will make you want to name your first born after a character or something insane like that. Kanada is the blandest possible protagonist which probably make sense since he's "supposed" to show how special the rest of Sakurasou is but he could at least be amusing..
It got pretty art at least!
At least Shina and Misaki totally are cool!
Guest_simfamUP_*
I would so totally fall for someone love Misaki xD
I've said it and I'll say it again. In regards to 'naming children.' My one and only motivation to spawn one of those hellish creatures is to call him Zach.
Right, Zach?

No, not really. This is way ahead.

Oh yeah, I laughed plenty with Shinna. I laughed a lot with Jin too.

Saku looks like fun. Might take a look at it once I have the chance. Gonna finish Demon King and Hero first, which is pretty good and which I recommend for people who like war scenarios with a more political focus.
The soundtrack is appropriate for the settings. The movie is a pack of few episodes in the middle of the series. It's GORY. So what was awful about it? The only awful thing in Berserk is Griffith, until the real sh*t is released.
Mind you I've only watched the original anime, but that's just it, they are trying to jam so much into so little time. Basically its just one battle scene after another, they try to include key moments from a character standpoint, but there is no build up of any kind. Everything feels rushed, and more importantly the dialogue is awful. I wasn't a fan of the animation either, I know the original anime was criticized for its animation but I rather like it for the most part.

I had to drop that show. The hero is such an obnoxiously gutless dude. Can't deal with it.
YUS!!!
Can't wait!
Aye, me neither.
Only thing that I am worried about though...

Well I wouldn't disagree. The romance aspect isn't the shows strength and I only enjoy it mostly b/c of Demon King which I find kawaii! But yeah, the hero is someone I can barely stomach. Anime sure tend to have a hard time making great / decent protagonists. Or at least the most I've seen.

It did seem like a pretty good show outside of that. Just, in this case that aspect was too much of a dealbreaker. And I've sat through the likes of Shinji and Yukiteru. 
I think I had to stop it when I found out that he straight up abandoned the girl for two straight years because 'adventure' even though he had teleportation magic and was actually coming home every night and secretly getting meals from the maid while he hid in a ****** broom closet or something.

Well...
Sh*t

Makes sense when you put it that way. Well gonna have fingers crossed either way.

I hope Luca is another main character. She's my favourite female since Caska pre-eclipse.
And there are some things that I'm pretty lost over. Gotta ask Isi when he comes xD
I am basically in the same boat as you are. While I would want my Saber / Shiro ship again, it would make sense from a development point of view to create UWB for Rin / Shiro and the upcoming movie adaptation Heaven's Feel having Sakura / Shiro. That way everyone is happy.
Ok,
Archer >>>>>>> Emiya
Rin >>>>>> Saber
Frak that gender-bender cheap shot.

Well it is certainly. And lol at Shinji and Yuki! I can totally see why some people will stop watching with protagonists like that. Thankfully Yuki develops and becomes more mature in the end, so I ended up liking him well enough. Shinji though I just can't stomach!
Only up to Episode 5 in Demon King and Hero, so hopefully the Hero develops as it goes along.
Retour en haut
