>>3959 This went under my radar, been following the manga for a long time. Watched some eps now and I'm glad to see it got a good adaption, although the fancervice was a bit too much for me. Easier to skim/skip it in the manga

Rescuing this thread from the bottom of the catalog, I'm sure more people would need a thread like this

So just finished off the /m/ anime Dai-Guard and found it to be a rather good series The short of the series is that it's basically Pacific Rim in it's premise: that a kaiju shows up, destroys everything in it's path, and the military has to resort to a nuke to finally kill the damn thing. And immediately regretting that they had to do so, start comissioning the the creation of a giant robot so as to minimize the damage the next time one of those things appears. Except it doesn't for the next dozen years. So seeing the weapon as pointless, the military return ownership of it to the 21st Century Corporation, who originally built the "Dai-Guard", which is now shown around as a tourist attraction for various trade events and PR campaigns. And now that the kaiju actually have reappeared, the people in charge of piloting the machine are the very PR managers at the company. All things considered, the series isn't as silly as that sounds, and actually gets rather serious. In fact, majority of the show's drama is centered around the clashing between the military wanting to take control of the Dai-Guard and everything related to it for no other reason than pride and a feeling worthless as the company does their "job" for them, and the company effectively stone-walling them (Or I should say the CEO has he is removed at one point and replaced by one of the greedy board members) because THEY own the Dai-Guard and even built the machine in the first place was because the company's CEO didn't believe that the military is capable of dealing with such incidents due to the political and petty nature of the military chain of command. That isn't to say that they spend all their time ridiculing the army, as one of the primariy characters in the show is a military liason and there are innumerable incidents where it's shown that his experience and contributions do end up saving the day much to people's chagrin. But it's one of those series where the actual human drama taking place is much more interesting than the premise of them fighting monsters. And I sort of need to emphasize that part because many of the later episodes in the series move away from that drama to focus on the actually characters operating in the PR division, and they're just not as strong as the earlier episodes and it creates a bit of a pacing issue towards the latter half. But over all, I'd very much give the series a solid recommendation. It's a good show.

New chapter?

Diebuster's finale was so good. I didn't like Gurren Lagann's though

Just watched BNA: Brand New Animal Spoilers ahead, I'm not gonna bother spoiling the text because I'm fucking lazy. It was overall disappointing. >Plot/characters/concept Honestly a rushed mess that magically resolves itself, wasted potential. The amount of factions they introduced halfway through intrigued me but they took care of it in such a lame and dumb way tbh, and Nazuna never had a redemption, she just magically decided that her manipulating an entire city on behalf of evil organizations to essentially kill/neutralize them all was bad, on top of what she did to Michiru, and suddenly being nice to one child makes her a star again. This was just a load of bullshit, the happy ending didn't feel properly earned and the characters development was passive or just randomly and arbitrarily happened, it's infuriating. Michiru and Oogami were the only ones who went through any character development, and Michiru kept having a lot of bad decisions. Also, consider that Alan suffered minimal consequences, all he did was fucking resign as head of the company, nothing was mentioned about prison or any kind of punishment outside of that, it's repugnant. The mayor was a naive clod, and the police chief was a literal dog (as in an unthinking tool of his masters) until he randomly decides to grow a fucking spine. This anime honestly needed like 6-12 more episodes to cook, Oogami's betrayal could really have been interesting, and Nazuna could have been properly redeemed, and these other characters could've had important realizations. Its just fucking bullshit, I'm irritated because this genuinely had potential, but they clearly just threw everything into a blender at the end and served a sludge that marks off whatever nutritional checkmark they could find. Also, they didn't have Michiru play one fucking game of basketball, instead they had her play a fucking baseball game, I feel cheated. >Audio/Visuals In terms of animation and art, I didnt care for it at all. The character designs were ugly and disappointing and nobody really appealed to me. I also hated Trigger's laziness with regards to shading and coloring. Flat colors and a limited palette is not a style 99% of the time, it just looked like shit, on top of bad lineart. This feels like a frequent Trigger problem, I miss the Gainax days when they were forced to put effort into aesthetics. Music was forgettable. Voice acting was fine. The comedy was somewhat tedious, and things felt a bit too predictable overall, which is a waste.

Can we talk about the anime? I like that it's so bonkers and soulful but does the storyline get better?

>>58661 In 20 minutes we'll start streaming Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei alongside the chronological Hidamari Sketch watchalong.

The struggle is real...

>>5304 Easily .hack//shit Nothing else comes close to how bad that anime and it's ending was. I'm grateful even shit anime rarely reaches levels of nothing ever happens that bad.

>>54258 This has a killer opening song. The plot seems bad though
