does eureka seven hold up
Cute Quinn
I never got past the first third back in the day
Cute Quinn
I wonder if it's worth another shot now
AzureChrysanthemum
Going over it in my mind I can't think of anything that's especially objectionable
AzureChrysanthemum
Mostly it just has Bones syndrome of awkward pacing
oh i'm scary
it's an
oh i'm scary
it's a... at least half a deconstruction
oh i'm scary
of Gundam Romances
oh i'm scary
so like
oh i'm scary
Renton will be quite unbearable for a WHILE but it's kind of the point
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah he's a kid after all
Cute Quinn
I read the manga but I remember none of it and I gather the anime is quite different

E7 is very much in the subset of Sunrise/Bones shows that's like "Wow, Gundam is pretty fucked up, huh. Anyway I'm Rod Serling."
Rama
Code Geass started there and then unfortunately was successful
oh i'm scary
I mean E7 was before Geass I'm almost certain
Rama
Well yes but it's another example of the same subgenre that went in a different direction
oh i'm scary
--actually you know what
oh i'm scary
my rec is
oh i'm scary
make it background viewing
oh i'm scary
the big problem with the pacing is sometimes it just mostly Stops to let a mood sink in for longer than you really need to let a mood sink in
Princess Emily
I love anemone so therefore watch it
AzureChrysanthemum
murkrows did you watch the new movies they made?
AzureChrysanthemum
I saw them going around but I have no idea if they're any good
BattroidBattery
personally I vote against, I finished it but I didn't like it much. I feel like it spends too much time going 'riding a robot is awesome' before it turns around and goes 'wait actually war sucks'
BattroidBattery
anemone is pretty great at crazy faces though.
oh i'm scary
I haven't
oh i'm scary
I kind of doubt they're worth it because like, the first movie and AO weren't
AzureChrysanthemum
AO was
AzureChrysanthemum
Well it started decent?
oh i'm scary
yeah
oh i'm scary
anyway Dominic and Anemone are the best part for sure
oh i'm scary
it's an extremely heterosexual show and if you're like "are the straights valid?" it's frankly a bit of a handwaggle except in the case of Dominic and Anemone who are All Time
