I watched Akira last weekend. The animation was really jaw dropping and I liked the cyberpunk style, but the plot didn't exactly resonate with me. It seemed like Tetsuo was just being a psychopath for no good reason other than "Kaneda, you've been too helpful".

I also watched the "All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku" OVAs because one of the usenet posts in this thread https://archive.moe/a/thread/121004514/ said Nuku Nuku was his waifu. Nuku Nuku is extremely moe.

The problem with most new stuff from Matsumoto is that the pacing is all over the place, and some of the late 00's stuff like Maetel Symphony, which I personally still enjoyed to a degree, were pretty shitty all around compared to stuff like SSX.
Even Queen Emeraldas had an amazing start and nosedives pretty fast in the last story.
Yet, I'm one of those few that enjoyed both Cosmo Warrior Zero and Gun Frontier even if they were objectively poorly handled.

>The problem with most new stuff from Matsumoto is that the pacing is all over the place

I find it's a certain lacking of characterization that was so strong in the earlier Matsumoto works.

Cosmo Warrior Zero was pretty bad, I think mainly because the protagonist was so weak in terms of character compared to the guy he was supposed to find and capture: The Captain himself.

I did like Gun Frontier but mainly because it was a decent western, lots of plot threads ending hard and fast (as they probably should on a frontier) and seeing Harlock as a side-kick to Tochiro was nice too.

I don't know how but the newer things just don't lack the spark in characters that the older series had, I wouldn't chalk this up to nostalgia because I've only watched these in the last 2 years or so. Ozma is a good example of how something is just missing.

>I think mainly because the protagonist was so weak in terms of character compared to the guy he was supposed to find and capture: The Captain himself.
Yup, I thought exactly the same thing.

One thing that I like about the new series is that as retellings/expansions of the original universe it's nice to get all the references to the older works, Maetel Symphony was chock full of those, but again, the quality of the work itself is pretty low from almost all points of view compared to the older works like GE999, the GE OVAs, SSX and a few other things like Queen Millennia.

Truly a pity since the designs and ideas behind those works are lamost always pretty good, Endless Odissey is perhaps the only high quality late series with all its problems.

For maximum inter-leijiverse goodness the best bet is to watch the three Galaxy Express movies, after you finish the main series of course. Despite being titled Galaxy Express it's more like fanservice if you love Harlock. They even have the Yamato briefly appear in the last movie if I recall right. Happens in DNA Sights too but terrible video quality there.

Still waiting on Live-Evil to finish subbing the Queen Millennia TV series, halfway there now.

>the best bet is to watch the three Galaxy Express movies
Yeah, as long as the crushing sadness doesn't make you want to kill yourself, the Queen Millennia OVA is guilty of that as well despite being beautiful.

Also, be advised that Queen Millennia TV is veeeeery long winded, possibly more than GE999 TV, the movie did a much better job at telling the story and developing the characters if you ask me.
But I mean, if you chugged all GE999 I don't think you'll have problems with that, do watch the movie though, it's great.

I've seen the movie and it seems more like the blueprints of a nice story with good points. Some things do pop up far too quickly with not much explanation though, I think I'll enjoy the longer route of the TV series when it's finished being subbed.

I've got GE 999 on hold at episode 30 right now, trying to find the will to move forward.

I thought the same thing about Sailor Moon's 200 episodes. It goes by faster than you expect.

I've been trying to watch Galaxy Express 999, but I made it 30 some odd episodes in, and fucking nothing is happening. I have also been irritated by the fact that they have said multiple times "The train stops for no one, must always stay on schedule and must always have a ticket" then they break those rules every few episodes.

>>121836082
>I've seen the movie and it seems more like the blueprints of a nice story with good points.
The series doesn't really tell much more than that except maybe for the love triangles of Yukino/Millennia, and even then it's really extremely void melodrama due to the sole problem that it's too much of the same exact melodrama after a while, the movie concentrated all the important stuff very nicely.

I don't know how people say Sailor Moon is solid, the girls are absolutely lovely and the slice of life segments are adorable, comedy isn't too bad either. The monster of the week format is just an absolute chore though. It drags every good aspect of the show through the mud.

>>121836190

>and fucking nothing is happening.

Did you miss the part where Tetsuro already achieves revenge on Count Mecha in the first episode instead of it dragging out?

>then they break those rules every few episodes.

Wait till the part where there's a planet sized object lying in their way.

They really don't lie about the train not stopping. Of course they can't help stopping if grand cosmic entities like that witch who can freely control time stalls them.

I'll still give it a watch.

It will probably mainly interest me because it ties into 999 nicely. I already know that Yukino is Maetel's mother, the future Queen Promethium.

That plot point alone sends chills down my spine for some reason, probably one of the more powerful threads in the entire leijiverse being set into motion will be enough to keep me watching.

I have been watching exclusively pre-2000 anime the past few months because I previously neglected to do so.

Right now I am watching Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, and CCS.

CCS is so good.It Outstanding even.

Not to mention the great OST and the legitimately likable characters that actually change and develop.

>How did Harlock even defeat them?
Psychological pressure and superior tactics, Harlock made Queen Rafflesia and all the Mazone soldiers shit themselves when they realized they couldn't even scratch the Arcadia or hurting him, Harlock was also pretty fucking motivated by the fact that Miyu is living on Earth, he wouldn't let anyone touch her, if you remember the part when Rafflesia porjects her Hologram on the Arcadia's deck to troll Harlock she gets scared shitless once he remembers about Miyu and makes that fucking awesome speech.
At some points the Mazone went batshit crazy and even tried to zerg rush Harlock with the only result of being fucking slaughtered.

Since we're talking about /m/ stuff, you guys should totally watch Macross Plus if you haven't already, great stuff.
I was playing Macross Triangle Frontier a few days ago and I had to rewatch that, even the CG is pretty decent considering how old it is.

Yeah that's pretty much the same for me.

At the end of Gunbuster It's not really sad because they still succeed, and the people they left behind on Earth were never really as central to the plot.

With Diebuster The fact that Nono sacrifices herself, and with her relationship with Lal'C makes for a much harder to take end. The epilogue also hits hard, and it only does that because Gunbuster was also so very good.
