Oh, you.
I'm actually sitting here remembering A.Z and I realise with a shock that there is not a single area where A.Z wouldn't be better than IBO apart from mecha design.
And that is really sad.

He explicitly said that IBO is better in that regard.
>>14018107

do you need to wear glasses to see how stupid some Kats were from a design perspective?
>>14018086
Yeah, but Aida makes them both look like demigods, so lets not go there.
>>14018143
but one thing I give is that at least Vers Kats were varied, It's the Terran Kats that were problematic.
>>14018143

>>14018146
I'm just supplementing the comment, It needs to be stressed out, but dumb as they are, at least we get variation. IBO seems like Graze of the week to me.

Everyone's dead. Deeeeeaaaaaaadddd
>>14018242
Because Shino had deathflags sticking out of his ass for half the season.
And Azee and Lafter didn't really get much screentime as of late. I do feel sorry for Akihiro though, they were his big sisters.
Plus Ein deserved to score a few points.
I am praying for Gali-Gali's survival now.

>>14018271
Well the cast is pretty bloated as it is.
I mean we saw them on the battlefield and they helped Atra with that fish.
So it was enough to not forget that they were there.
If they really are all dead that was strangely unceremonious.
My guess is 1/3 will survive.

At least Vers had some GOAT Kats. Other than Barbaratos, I only like Kimaris. Rest look like old rejected designs.
Not to mention there are few genuinely likeable characters in IBO. Ein is a Jerid, Choco is Graham with Char's worst traits. Most of the orphans are completely missable, What's-his-name's ex machina harem is forgettable.
Mika is a worse Inaho. If they're trying to do Setsuna they're doing a shit job of it.
The only three sympathetic characters in IBO are Gaelio (about to get inevitably Char'd), Atra and Biscuit. At least A/Z had a main Slaine, Saazbaum, Rayet's eps and Mazuurek with better visuals and soundtrack to boot.
Good moments in IBO were Biscuit's shitty brother and the weapons part, but they were good moments reminiscent of UC brilliance in an utter pile of slop. Felt completely apathetic over Fumitan and Biscuit's death.
Not to mention NotChar killing NotGarma for the 500th time. Oh boohoo, yellow haired guy screwing over purple haired guy for the 90 millionth time? Just Another Rehash complete with cyber newtype haxx.
Kudelia and Mika look literally retarded the way they're drawn. While the Graze customs look ok, the originals look like someone on Deviantart painted them in the most disgusting palette they could find and the design is generic. Gusion is also way too clunky, like an obese Zaku rehash, not that it even matters because the mecha is a side story. It makes Asseylum's fishface and Saazbaum's completely impractical mech look god tier.
Soundtrack is also inferior. 'Raise your Flag' was better than the current generic shit and at least Sawano knows what he's doing.
What a wasted potential. Well hopefully there isn't last minute cuckoldry, that'd be something.
>>14018323
>At least A/Z had a main Slaine, Saazbaum, Rayet's eps and Mazuurek with better visuals and soundtrack to boot.

I'd understand Saaz, Rayet and Mazuurek, but Slaine!? Hell no.

Too bad they didn't have Sawano for BGMs.

the only advantage the IBO suits have is the fact that they're 2d. If a more competent Animation director and a 2d animation was used for A/Z, it would've made some designs better-looking.

That's more than A/Z which had one and then he gets killed off.

Mika actually has characterization and an actual explanation as to why he acts the way he does so he doesn't come off as autistic. Inaho has no characterization or development and we're given next to nothing of an explanation as to why he acts the way he does in show so he comes off as autistic.

This was the one episode where the most amount of orphans in Orga's army of bastards died the most so far.
>>14018392
It just looks funny and seems like Asseylum is going to open fire on Kudelia.
Don't worry, they're okay.
>>14018380
>Mika actually has characterization and an actual explanation as to why he acts the way he does
No he doesn't. His characterisation is standing around listening to people and then once every 10 episodes he goes a little crazy for a minute and people start jacking off to him cause so dark and crazy. There isn't an explanation for the way he acts as he was crazy before being a soldier (heavily in contrast to the rest of the group) and a few of the characters are also street rats and not crazy
Mika is one of the worst and least interesting gundam protagonists
>>14018405
Do you even know what characterization means?
>>14018405
Moron doesn't know what characterization is. Mika worse than Kira and Shin? Kek.
>>14018380
>Mika actually has characterization and an actual explanation as to why he acts the way he does so he doesn't come off as autistic.
"Who should I kill next, Orga?" is basically the be all and end all of his characterisation. Not that Eggs Plisken is much better, owing to crucial development being sidelined into novels because they have to spread it out over different formats, but Mika wigging out on Orga a couple episodes back was the first proper bit of development on his end in fucking months except for maybe shaking Kudelia's hand because reincorporation, and that basically amounted to him asking Orga to kill people for the sake of revenge.
We're a week from the end of the show and we still don't know what the hell he and Orga were doing in that alleyway other than that they murdered some guy.
>>14018405
>Show blatantly shows that Mika is an animal through his actions and the way how he goes about his mission
>The slums fucked him in the head ans he doesn't know the meaning of compassion.
>Mika has stated he has a goal and wants to be a farmer after everything is done
He's already better than Inaho, maybe a tad too simple for an average Gundam protags but at least he isn't Kira or Kio.
>>14018380
>Mika actually has characterization
>and an actual explanation as to why he acts the way he does
>so he doesn't come off as autistic.
Wut
>>14018433
Kira actually has an entire arc and reasoning he's acting that way. People need to remember that he doesn't trust ZAFT because they tried to kill his other waifu.
tldr; Lacus dying would've meant that everyone will be dead by Kira's hands.
>>14018433
>Show blatantly shows that Mika is an animal through his actions
No it doesn't. Like a lot of points in the show you could give some examples but it is horribly inconsistent. One scene he is scampering across the floor smelling shoes and then another he gives a monologue about the economy. This could work if the show had any ability to write complex characters but really it is just that characters become whatever scenes need them to and then people just remember the bits they want to make points
>>14018446
>Kira actually has an entire arc and reasoning he's acting that way.
You must really hate IBO to be defending Kira
>>14018461
well, it's the truth. Kira turned out that way in Destiny because ZAFT made an assassination attempt on Lacus.
>>14018405
STEAL characterization (indirect) =/= backstory (direct)
> Characterization
Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization and indirect characterization. Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is.
For IBO they're relying on STEAL rather than backstory. Steal is Speech, Thoughts, Effects, Actions and Looks.
>>14018090
No shit, the wiki is run by a bunch of idiots who consistently get things wrong.
>>14018459
>No it doesn't.
>The way he fights in the Barbatos
>How his first instinct was to attack Gali when he appeared towards them and had to be called off by the old lady
>His "What should I do now?" towards Orga is the equivalent of a trained dog asking for orders
They lay it on pretty fucking thick
>>14018461
He isn't lying though, Kira has a reason for being the kind of faggot we hate, for fuck sake even Shinn had his entire reason for joining Zaft because his family died and he wanted bloody vengence on anyone who would try that shit
>>14018469
Okay, what does this 'STEAL' method tell us about Mika that we don't already know?
>>14018469
>Speech
"........okay that seems right" with an occasional "lets kill people cause I don't care about killing people which has just made verything much easier"
>Thoughts
"Stand by mode. Give task beep boop?"
>Effects
people die? girls swoon over him doing fuck all?
>Actions
standing around and occasionally kills people every other week
>Looks.
blankly
>>14018482
Nothing. Thats the point. Direct characterization is basically showing instead of telling.
>>14018485
So you're saying that because the director isn't spoonfeeding you characterization like speed racer he's automatically some kind of kill-bot? Nigger please, the point of STEAL is that it's nuanced. You'd call it terrible story telling if the speed racered up his scenes like
"OOOOH! TAIHEN! THAT ENEMY IS GETTING TOO CLOSE TO ORGA, MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO I TRUST AND RELY ON. BECAUSE OF MY TRAGIC PAST I AM COMPELLED TO TAKE THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE TO ENSURE HIS SAFETY, I DO NOT FEEL REGRET BECAUSE OF MY KILL OR BE KILLED SLUMS UPBRINGING WHERE I HAD TO KILL A MAN AS SEEN IN THE CREDITS OF THE SECOND OPENING OF THE SERIES WE ARE IN AND ALL OF TH CUTAWAYS YOU AS THE AUDIENCE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO RECENTLY. HIYYAAAHHHHH!"
If you don't like the series, fine, but dont shit pick and ruin it for others simply because the director hasn't strapped you into a highchair and made airplane noises with spoonfuls of indirect characterization to feed you the storyline.
>>14018500
>the director hasn't strapped you into a highchair and made airplane noises with spoonfuls of indirect characterization to feed you the storyline.
You mean like the rest of the show is?
>>14018500

>>14018522
>>14018506

>>14018528
Give me some characterization of Mika, please.
>>14018500
>So you're saying that because the director isn't spoonfeeding you characterization like speed racer he's automatically some kind of kill-bot? Nigger please, the point of STEAL is that it's nuanced
>nuanced
Oh, please, dude, there's a lot of things in the vast realm of fiction that can be called nuanced, Mika is not one of those things. IBO is not one of those things. Are you attaching nuance to a show that, among other things, had its female lead do nothing but waffle back forth for 85 percent of its run regurgitating the same old shit, even after she resolved not to do it?
And yes, Mika is an near-emotionless kill-bot because that's basically all the show has shown him to be capable of. It feels like he hasn't developed at all and that he's still the same character we've seen in the first episode in that his defining characteristics are he likes his friends, he really likes Orga, and he really, really likes killing people, but now he also shook Kudelia's hand.
I mean, depending, static characters can be done well, but this is the guy who was basically advertised as the MC, or one of them. I mean, it's been ages since I last saw Wing, but with 00 you at least saw what happened to make Setsuna so fucked up and how he coped with it and eventually became a better person - you know, character development. Mika's just been a half-mute attack dog.
>>14018528
>>14018500
The way you talk about IBO is like you referring to some classic piece of literature. Another delusional IBO fag.
>>14018403
Yeah, sure.
>>14018465
>>14018479
When /m/ claims Kira and Shinn are better protags for story telling/trope reasons you know a Gundam series fucked up royal.
>>14018533
On the point of Setsuna, there was this really nice scene early on in 00 where he is just sitting in a normal park but then it turns to a war zone cause that's what he sees/feels. It is kinda like that one bit in Terminator 2. It is a good simple way to show us his mind without saying anything, in 24 episodes I don't feel like I have once seen into Mika's mind or been on the same wavelength as him
>tamaki becomes the new biscuit
>>14018557
Benkei?
>>14018557
That reminds me, is Ride dead, do you reckon?
He led that banzai charge and got knocked off the bridge, and I suppose that if there's one thing this show hasn't forgotten it's that fall damage can take place.
this actually surprised me, I was thinking this guy was some long lost brother to someone, not chocochar.
curious to see next episode, Gali-Gali was crying.
>>14018392
The comparison exists because both OPs are directed by the same person
>>14018569
he fell off the bridge, I'd say he's injured but not dead. But we'll know next episode.

>>14018076
>that sudden timeskip at the beginning with narration to fill you in on what's happening
The writing in this show is something else.
>>14018533
ok, ill try one more time.
How is Mika supposed to develop as a character when he's doing the same thing he's always done?
He's always been a murderer
He's always been a very solitary person
He's always used the alliance vagina system
He's always taken his cues from orga
He's always eaten snacks that seem to be random shit he picks up odd the ground.
He's always been proficient in the use of mobile workers, we're shown this as he has the most spines in his alliance vagina system so at some point they must have decided he has the most potential to have had the operation 3 times, so he gets the most use out of it.
etc. The only wildcard in his routines are:
- The gundam
- The girl (his very own relena peacecraft)
- The new family business
- His new friends dying
and wew lad, funny enough, these are the only plot points he's shown character progression on, and we can see that through STEAL. now are you going to have me spoonfeed you those progression points or are you going to use your head?
Oh god I just had a peak the thread on /a/. It's kind of funnyand sadhow many obvious posters from /m/ there are there all shitting on /m/. There's even people ranting about tokushit. Im mean it's probably exactly those individuals that are the reason this place is so shitty at times in the first place
>gali-gali was good enough to keep Mika in check
>chocochar "saved" the day
>Ein got his "revenge"
good job everyone, I believe this is IBO's fifth good episode.
>>14018145
You just managed to shoot yourself in the foot twice.
>>14018600

>>14018600
>now are you going to have me spoonfeed you those progression points or are you going to use your head?
Could you spoonfeed me?
>>14018627
Well, I'll give Speed Racer credit on one score, in that it is far more inclined to actually bother explaining things than you seem to be.
Yes, he has the Gundam. Yes, he has the girl. Yes, people he knows have died, to which he has reacted with either indifference or sadistic goading towards Orga. How do they change the fact that he's barely changed?
Use your words, you're sat in front of a keyboard as is.
>>14018630
I think it did, hence why the negative reaction.

>>14018403
People really want to see this cliche, don't they?
>>14018600
This whole debacle right now is a result of Mika's defining character flaw, is that all he knows is violence and he will attack anyone who fucks up his friends.
Mika been inroduced into not using violence. He's legit amazed that Kudaleia was able to stop a fleet by talking. He's being introduced to these ideas, but he's still sticking with the stuff he's always known. Makes sense, since he wouldn't instantly change.
Also "Taken cues from orga." That's not fucking true. two episodes ago he was basically demanding Orga to keep going. While he was asking "where should we go" the subtext is, we're not fucking stopping. He also didn't tell orga all of what biscuit said. Orga was terrified of Mika at that point. I say, it's Mika calling the shots at this point. And given Mika's tunnel vision, it's time for payback for all of gjallhorn.
Now all of Tekka is fucked because of Mika's tunnel vision. I'm guessing there's going to be a second season, in which he'll have to take a different path.
I like IBO a lot, but I can see why people don't. but I think /m/ just shits on it way to much.

You are delusional.
>>14018607
Are you kidding?
Even Rectards have a hard time defending Aida.
The only good thing about her is her design.
You could basically take her out of the show after Bellri meets the "pirates" and nothing really changes apart from Bellri's shooting spree when he finds out that he can't fuck her!
>>14018076
Did she really stop the deranged faggot by standing in front of him and he did not squash her into Kudelia paste? I could understand in AZ because the knight thought the princess was dead and momentarily shocked, irrc.
I feel AZ sacrificed it's characters for it's plot, leaving them generic as fuck.
IBO, on the other hand, sacrificed it's plot for it's generic as fuck characters.
>Grimgerde will actually get to do something next episode
That's cool, I guess.
>>14018662
Aida is naturally flawed in the kind of way that impressive credentials can land an unqualified person in situations way over her head, but she nevertheless tries to make the most of things consistently and never stops evolving and improving throughout her series.
Its episode 24 and Kudelia confronts a death machine with a face to face greeting.

I can't wait for s2 to come so I can rub it in those g rectals faces
There won't be a day that goes by that they won't suffer
>>14018553
There's also him thanking Lockon gor calling him a Gundam nut. There was a lot of subtle humility in Setsuna throughout 00 that makes his characterization bettee than other stoic Gundam leads like Heero and Mika though in case of the latter his lack of humility seems to be point.
>>14018678
Nobody claimed IBO was trying to be better than AZ, only that it was inspired by AZ's greatness and tried to emulate it.
>>14018668
AZ sacrificed both its characters and plot for shock value.
>>14018668
IBO sacrificed both for the sake of nothing.
>>14018575
Maybe if they changed the damn VA for when he went mask mode, it wouldn't have been obvious. But still Mika called out his bullshit anyway.
>>14018693
if it got a season 2 it'd be an unrelated event to whats currently happening. it'd have to be a time skip or something to work.
>>14018659
Bullshit.
like ten episodes ago, Orga specifically said" I have to do this crazy shit for Mika because he looks up to me:
Also episode 22. look the entire fucking conversaion in episode 22. orga is specifically saying,
"I killed biscuit due to me doing dangerous shit"
"what should I do orga"
"give me a break Mika..."
"no orga. we can''t stop yet."
"wait..."
and he goes on to say " I decided on that day, we will find that place"
He says this while grabbing him by his fucking collar and orga looks like he's going to shit his pants.
Yeah, this is the actions of a man who just follows orders. Their relationship is more complicated than /m/ admits. its mutually destructive and that's neat.
>>14018694
That's what is interesting about Setsuna, he actually has a different thought pattern than most which we saw consistently come out and inform his action. Mika just lacks much of one so he seems mysterious and then just fits whatever the script needs him to be

>>14018707
Mika is not calling the shots, he is the driving force for Orga nothing more.
Mika is the attack dog of tekkadan, he's very brutal and Guts comments on this every fight since what ep.23-ish around there.

>>14018714
I dont know man, I enjoyed watching G-Reco a whole lot more than this.
>>14018300
An Ein for an Ein. Mika unceremoniusly killed carta and her two lackies and Ein has repaid in full.
A pity as well. I wanted to have Lafter in aLoveLive! Choreo outfit as a survival prize
>>14018300
Well, Shino's alive, at least long enough to deliver some last lines.
Pity about Azee though.
>>14018662
Aida is the one who directs where the Megafauna goes though.
>>14018714
I guess every criticism now will always boil down to "b-but it's better than G-Reco!", huh?
How hilarious.
Aida is better than Kudelia, one pilots a Mobile Suit, and the other is just amazing.

Its funny because its true. The sad fact is we have yet to see a mecha series which has surpassed AZ (IBO is getting there, though).
>>14018662
Aida was essentially Emma Sheen 2.0 with a better design.
>>14018602
>defending Tokushit
I'm with the rest of your post 100% though.
>>14018738
Yeah, so is Kudelia for Tekkadan and at least that involved some logistics.
Your point?
>>14018743
Kudelia will make Mars great again
>>14018714
Technically, they poured a lot more money into IBO with a nice timeslot, a bunch of advertisement, and even a dub, and it has had only very marginally better sales than G-Reco, which they had very little confidence in.
>>14018749
That if you remove Aida then it changes everything?
>>14018745
As a fan of Zeta, I demand you take that back and never put those names in the same sentence again.
>>14018157
Its okay, best buddy Guts is still alive
>>14018754
Replacing her with a GPS would probably do.
They're following the trail of the batteries.
It's not like Aida had some kind of masterplan.
>>14018752
So what you're saying is IBO is good enough to earn an S2?
>>14018760
Why would they follow the trail of batteries without Aida?
I'm just glad Fellini is doing fuck all in space so he can't die a stupid death like all these clowns.
>>14018758
Emma was constantly nagging everyone but every time she sortied she never help by Kamille at least Aida was shown to be a complete novice who nobody wanted to go out and fight but Emma had credentials as an ace pilot of the Titans yet her only kill was Reccoa which was by accident.
>>14018762
The exact opposite, actually. It's had shit performance. The somewhat likely S2 is just a bad case of remorse on the investment since they obviously planned that from square one only to have it blow up in their faces.
>>14018769
She killed both of Yazan's squaddies, as I recall.
>>14018549
>tfw this was actually an accurate prediction
>>14018769
Emma never actively endangered her own team the way Aida did.
Plus she didn't go about the ship causing premature antics because she had her first period last week.
No, fuck you.
Emma is an actual character people remember fondly.
Aida is just sum hoe that Tomino made up for vagina licking.
>>14018737
>Pity about Azee though.
She's the one with the highest chance of survival tho, it's not like her head blew open like a tomato
>>14018604
It was good. i dont like much this show until now, but this episode was pretty good. In my opinion, they would have to anticipate a some 'things at mid season.
>>14018776
Ryonafags really want to see her get skewered in combat, which will happen because of the show's predictable nature.
>>14018782
>Emma never actively endangered her own team the way Aida did.
Aida never did this because they always told her to stay back because her MS was better suited for long range
She just wanted to help but nobody would let her she eventually cools down though. Emma talked big but never lived up to it considering she never did anything with the Super Gundam.
Please they're just waifu characters. Emma isn't even the best girl in Zeta.

Might as well praise Aida for taking down a ship and shooting down Mask
wont lie i liked this episode a lot and am so ready to see the grimgerde fuck shit up
>>14018795
>450 cuts of QUALITY
This is the norm for this show. At least, this time, there was a minimum of tension for Robo Ein that managed to do some damage.
Of course, Bandai would not let him destroy the Gusion, the kit has need to sell. Fans appreciate waifus gore more.
>>14018801
>>14018323
you're not wrong, but you're baiting a whole lot of shitposters who'll have no idea what they're talking about
>>14018323
I agree, but that does not change the fact that AZ was shit.
>>14018668
>AZ sacrificed it's characters for it's plot
Exactly, which was its biggest problem
>>14018076
Looks like she's doing heil Kudelia
>>14018839
Atra a shit, Eddelruito for lyf!
>>14018668
>>14018678
>>14018837
>AZ sacrificed it's characters for it's plot
This would make sense if A/Zs plot wasn't fucking shit from the beginning.
>>14018854
There was a plot? Things happen without even a reason in AZ.
>>14018323
Mika and the rest suffer because the show has focused on developing Kudelia as an MC more than any of the orphans, even that isn't the way it should have done it at all.
In AZ Slaine eventually got the most development while everyone else stayed more or less static but compared to him Kudelia just terrible and can't hold the audience's attention unless she's showing off her tits. I don't even like Slaine but if you're gonna have a character be a blackhole of development/screentime at least make it something the audience can give a fuck about.
And the character designs are awful and very inconsistent compared to AZ, I agree. Even if she isn't as voluptuous I find Asseylum more attractive than Kudelia. And the Counts like Saazbaum etc had refreshing designs and weren't just generic bishounen or forgettable balding old men.
>>14018782
>Emma never actively endangered her own team the way Aida did.
For real? She is the one who got a whole ship killed.
>>14018868
>In AZ Slaine eventually got the most development
Because he was the main character. ALDNOAH ZERO was in reference to him.
>And the character designs are awful and very inconsistent compared to AZ, I agree. Even if she isn't as voluptuous I find Asseylum more attractive than Kudelia. And the Counts like Saazbaum etc had refreshing designs and weren't just generic bishounen or forgettable balding old men.
And this is just bullshit given the copious amounts of sameface and babyfaces had not to mention how it heavily clashed in tone of the show much like Hirai in SEED.
>>14018235
Aoki, the madman.
>>14018403
That was quick
>>14018889
now do Kudelia firing a gun.
>>14018888
>how it heavily clashed in tone of the show

PULL THE TRIGGER ASSHIME
>>14018575
Have you not been paying attention? Some of the characters had already figured out his identity in-universe by his second appearance.
http://strawpoll.me/7135604
>>14018873
She actively told those idiots to stay away. It was Captain Henker that got everyone killed.
>>14018899
They were one-offs, though.

>>14018899
>Show that tries to be gritty and dark has ugly villian character

>>14018921
See, you should have used him as an example instead of those two. That one I do agree with.
>>14018888
The younger cast had some sameface but there was a lot of variety in the larger adult cast.
>ALDNOAH ZERO was in reference to him.
Source? I thought Aoki just liked zeroes. I don't even remember much explanation on what aldnoah was besides ancient alien magic.
>>14018917
They're the reason Guts even has the Gusion. That's a bit more than a one off or villain of the week status.
>>14018917
This thing wasn't.
>>14018930
You can like a chara design or not, but such comments prove nothing... just how much stupid you're.
Kudelia and Mika need to die.
>>14018938
>but there was a lot of variety in the larger adult cast.
Most of the counts had the exact same facial features unless they were just designed to look retarded in most cases.
>>14018938
>I thought Aoki just liked zeroes. I don't even remember much explanation on what aldnoah was besides ancient alien magic.
Aoki did through twitter, the Zero is in reference to Slaine going back to "Zero" at the end of the show.
>>14018944
Instead of calling people stupid learn to finish your sentences.
>>14018575
pretty obvious you retard
>>14018938
>Source?
baka desu senpai I thought basic comprehension skills were required to graduate grade school these days
>>14018090
The wiki is run by complete fucking retards who dont actually care about getting things right.
>>14018380
>Fuck no! All of them looked stupid as fuck
The purple bastard was fine.
how can this show get worse with each new episode?
ever since it was announced I expected it to be average at best buy jesus fuck, this has to be one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever wasted my time with
>>14018952
>Aoki did through twitter, the Zero is in reference to Slaine going back to "Zero" at the end of the show.
Boy Welp, this show went out of control. We have to invent some bullshit to justify the title.
Boss, what about the tag "Let justice be done though the heavens fall"?
No problem, it's all Slaine fault.
>>14018992
It only got better though
>>14018921
I am going to miss this image.
>>14018952
>Most of the counts had the exact same facial features
Unless you mean simply having eyes, noses, and a mouth, yes. And there was variety in facial structure among them. All had a lot of mascara but Counts weren't the only adults even from Mars in the show.
"He said this shit on twitter at some point" isn't a source.
>>14018952
>Aoki did through twitter, the Zero is in reference to Slaine going back to "Zero" at the end of the show.
Sounds like damage control he made up on the spot while drunk.
im only a few minutes into this episode. Did I fucking miss something? or is it doing this "flashforward" thing.
I rewatched episode 23 and I dont remember everyone being hurt to shit.
>>14019023
Basically they skipped three days in order to make it seem that they're in a protracted engagement.
>>14019023
>im only a few minutes into this episode
I doubt that, because it's not even a minute and 30 seconds before Merribit says they've been fighting for 3 days
>>14019010
>Unless you mean simply having eyes, noses, and a mouth, yes.
No just having the same face, on fact one of the counts in S2 looked like a young Saaz.
>And there was variety in facial structure among them. All had a lot of mascara but Counts weren't the only adults even from Mars in the show.
There wasn't. Almost as bad as Hirai face in SEED.
>"He said this shit on twitter at some point" isn't a source.
Tough shit bitch archive exists for a reason and you should have been lurking in the threads a year ago.
>>14018675
Does this MS have no armor covering the waist or is it just quality?
>>14019121
I am assuming you haven't been watching IBO, then.
>>14018942
>"thing"
Haha fuck you that confused bird was the best part of the show and you know it.
>>14019134
I know the waists on IBO's mechs are really thin but this one has it completly exposed.
>>14018575
>this actually surprised me,
i assume you skipped some episodes because everyone knows who he is. they literally figure it out as soon as he appears
>>14019041
Shit is hardly comparable to Hirai face. Now you've straight out lost it with exaggerations.
And if you can't back up what you state the director stated based on a post you read a year ago it makes virtually no difference to me. I'm not the one trying to prove it to someone else.
Why do they have to say Kudelia's full name every time? Like there's going to be some confusion over which Kudelia they're talking about.
>>14019158
Not him, but I seem to remember that there was actually a lot damage control at the end of AZ by the director, who explained that the ending was a "good ending" for Slaine because he was mentally free.
I know, it sounds retarded.
>>14019158
>Shit is hardly comparable to Hirai face.
>everyone looks like they have down syndrome
>Faces are copypasta from one another
It fits like a glove!
>I can't prove what you state is false so I'm going to fret ignorance
Okay. Also I already gave you a source to look, all you're doing now is asking me to spoonfeed you.
>killing that blond slut
Fuck you bandai.
>>14019229
>Also I already gave you a source to look
Where? I did not see any links
Attention citizens of the universe. I Kudelia am proud to be elected your new Universal President through hostile takeover.
On my path to winning this election I learned many things from many important people. Such as people die when they are killed, when people are dead they are no longer alive and the most important thing everyone else in the universe that are not me are completely expendable pawns that should be willing to die for my success.
But I still have some growing up to do as your new president. I need to learn how to better equip our child soldiers so they can die for me more efficiently and I need to learn how to finally cut up vegetables into an acceptable size for stew.
>>14019343
>people die when they are killed
I've been out of the loop for some time.
How are you guys liking the series so far, worth picking up?
>>14019410
Definitely. Its the best mecha series since Aldnoah Zero.
did Fareed do anything wrong this whole show? Is he Harry Ord tier?
>>14019343
You have to say her full name though
>>14019456
I am Kuderia aina berenstaino
>>14019410
Yeah, it's the best anime since G-Reco.
>>14019465
That would be implying G-Reco is any good. Its the best Gundam series since 00, at least.
Reposting my question since /a/ ignored it
Where the heck are all the people who aren't politicians and military? Like, there are people fighting to death near the city and literally no one seems to be bothered by that fact
>>14018076
Didn't expect that to be honest
>>14019513
That takes time and effort to animate
>>14019513
The city seemed to be under some sort of lockdown. They were probably inside. You know, they wouldn't want to be killed.
>look we made the Char/Amuro-TurnA/TurnX head bump
