⚠️ IMPORTANT SCAM PSA ⚠️
There's a new scam going around that's not very obvious and can be easy to fall for! If this weird cat approaches you and asks you to become a magical girl, don't do it dawg
(more info in thread 🧵)
I think part of some people's dislike of Suletta is that she has effectively 0 normal protagonist qualities, there's a whole plot going on around her she's completely disinterested in, a corpo war brewing, her own backstory is in turmoil, but she just wants to go to school, haha.
One of the neatest technical achivements I've seen in a long time and ya ruin it with crap writing and voice acting?
Goddam, if I was a programmer working on this, I'd be furious.
>watch a Linus Tech Tips video in 2016
>Full of obvious errors, soyfacing and technical ineptitude, hamfisting shit
>decide to hate them and never pay attention to them again
>Some kinda 2023 drama about them being lazy useless hacks
Splendid, being ahead of the curve feels good
Experimentation and fucking around with weird presentation styles is how we get cool new things.
I don't like it personally, not everythings a winning idea, but it's interesting and think they should keep it up.
Since there's absolutely no way to convey how incredibly awful this sequence looks through screenshots alone, here's a full clip for your viewing "pleasure".
(For the love of god someone stop, GoHands)
One thing that I thought about while rewatching is that I've never heard anyone complain about the use of CGI for backgrounds, unlike anime projects where 3DCG is a time/money saving substitute, these movies are just *supposed* to look like this, technology supporting art.
This Gundam SEED shit is Cinema, I don't get why it has such a poor reputation, it kicks ass.
It's exciting and crazy in all the ways Wing wishes it was.
19 felt right.
Bright is just out of the academy in '79, only ends up as the captain because he's the only vaguely qualified person in the right place at the right time, and the anime goes to lengths to show how unprepared he is for the stress involved. His age was important.
a gentle reminder that obnoxiously sexualised russian-made videogame with literal 6 HOURS sex cutscene with faceless robots as its primar bonus and its entire fan base are deeply fucked up and problematic
atom*c heart needs to be removed from existence, period
Disturbing anime series Made in Abyss which features child torture and abuse sparks outrage after top K-pop idols promoted it to their young fans: 'This is honestly despicable'
What made Spriggan (1998) such a wonderful action movie, was the combat sequences depicted the awe and brutality of 'anime-trope' attacks in a grounded, relatable setting. (1/2)
None of the revelations or story beats meet her ears, she's tugged around entirely by others whims, while Miorine, occasionally Guel and Nikka are the ones filling in the gaps and actively pushing to learn in a way that that Suletta isn't.
When Amuro said "Nothing feels as good as this", it was a misquote. The entire line is "Nothing feels as good as watching assorted re-animated scenes from Mobile Suit Gundam presented in a low bitrate mid 90's 320x200 CPAK video file".
bit of a clunker, but that's what he said.
Turn A finally feels like a Gundam where from top to bottom the production crew actually has their shit together or isn't suffering from some sort of calamity behind the scenes.
I don't personally mind this approach, I like a good puzzlebox story.
Her own ignorance and simple, putty like brain is a plot device in itself, but that's probably the reason whenever a proactive character steps up, you see the sentiment of "Oh it's actually good now".
Internet shuts down in 50 years, following that, archivists and treasure hunters scour the world for still functioning hard drives from the information age, trying to rebuild lost knowledge from old browser cache files
It's crazy that Marvel briefly had live action magical girl transformations figured out and then just abandoned it, the current suit up scenes might as well be a wipe fade effect, it's so lame.

I love the casual portability of carrying the suit in a case - it makes sense
This is still the coolest Iron Man suit up - no nanotech needed and it was a briefcase!
Important trivia : In the original cut of this episode before it was put on Blu-ray, Shinobu was wearing a blue dress.
You can still see it briefly in a flashback in Koyomimonogatari episode 11.
Out of context the spirit of the line is basically inverted.
Mr Bajeena wants to send the earthbound politicians to space to open their eyes and minds to the realities of space and life on the colonies, not banish them.
also I guess people are annoyed the promo pictures made her look like a stone cold badass when she's actually the literal opposite, because I know I am.
