>Everyone thought this was going to be the Code Geass killer
It insisted upon itself.
Slaine did nothing wrong.Inaho is an autistic faggot.
Needs more azure glow to fill the ambience
>>287102709I still liked it
>>287102709It randomly got new official art last month alongside an interview with the character designer.
>>287102709literally no one thought that
>>287103168Built for CBT
>>287102709I genuinely don't remember anything about this show except for the fact that the blond kid was in all the promotional material and then just spent the show getting tortured in a very horny way.
>Make Martians the actual bad guys>Proceed to do nothing with this, and try to make them sympathetic for the rest of the series
>kill the protagonists and main antagonist at the end of season 1 in a shocking twist>Psych! They're all fine, even if one of them was shot in the fucking faceWhat a gutless cop out. Didn't even watch season 2.
>>287103334I did.
>>287102709It could've been, unfortunately unlike CLAMP the creators catered way too hard to fujos and turned off normies.
>>287103897CLAMP had nothing to do with Code Geass beyond concept art for characters. And their own art released for Geass was really gay.
>>287103231Princesses btfo
>>287103663You saved yourself the torture of watching Inaho's eye implant take control of his unconscious body and confess to the girl.
>>287103404Because they brought on Urobuchi to write the first episode and then he fucked off.Mecha always does this thing where the ubermensch imperial space japan and untermensch dust-welling terrestrial china are BOTH WRONG BECAUSE WAR IS BAD.Urobuchi did a funny and made the obvious japan expy the obvious bad guy and then the rest of the writing staff went "okay business as usual" and proceeded straight to the whitewashing of warcrimes.
>>287102709Hime deserved Ryona
>>287103731This is literally considered homosexual in islam btw, it's why people are staring at him
This brought me back to anime in like 2013, I love the op/ed songsIt had style, not really the execution. Gundamlite Geasslite afraid to be even a dumbed down LotGh but it had really neat ideas. Mars vs Earth conflicts I'm a sucker for
This shit was so bad I remember it being called the death of mecha on /m/ at the time and to some degree it was, output dropped to a crawl after this
>>287102709first half of s1 was *very* promising. not sure what happened behind the scene after that... but boy the quality sure is dropping.I believe a solid ending still could have saved it, because let's admit it... anime storytelling is often the weakest during the middle part (remember Code Geass pizza episode? no? me too!)but unfortunately, A/Z's ending is pretty weak.soundtrack's a banger tho.
>>287102709>Code Geass killerWhat? What does that even mean? Zoomers are so fucking stupid holy shit.
>>287102709The marketing angle they were going for was that it was going to be the Gundam killer, not the Geass killer, which is even more retarded
>>287102709Just like world of warcraft, the only thing that could kill Code Geass was itself.
>>287103075Slaine did nothing, with how much I saw "Slaine did nothing wrong", I was expecting him to do something horrible that may have a justification, but he never did
>>287105885An anime that surpasses Code Geass in quality, ESL-kun.
>>287106407And how does that make it the Code Gayass killer retard-kun? What does that even mean in the context of anime/manga? It doesn't make sense.
>>287105334Because they're gay too?
>>287106779What is there not to understand? It defeats the purpose of watching what it killed. Like how FMAB killed FMA, how HxH killed Naruto, etc.I mean you can still watch those but I don't see the point in exposing oneself to lesser trash.
They followed up a literal nuke in the first episode with a really boring show. Mkaliez is an all time great iconic anisong so at least it gave us that.
>>287104342>Because they brought on Urobuchi to write the first episode and then he fucked off.It's crazy looking back how much of a rockstar Urobuchi was in the industry around this early 2010's period. People were willing to watch a full CG anime movie because he wrote it and he was being brought on to write a single episode of this as a marketing ploy. Crazy times.
>>287106926As I thought, zoomer gibberish that makes 0 sense, stick to your gachage wars on xitter and /vg/ please.
>>287107522>filtered by power rankingsIt's not a hard concept, anon.
>>287107628>filteredJust how brown and new are you zoomer? Jesus Christ.
>>287107919I've been here since 2015, newfag.
>>287107939>2015Not the own you think it is newfag-kun
>>287105885It's more of a /v/ concept than a Zoomer notion. In vidya mythology, a the most popular games of their respective genres will be deposed by a new game that usurps the playerbase and becomes the new reigning champion. In reality it rarely works like this, and interest in a particular game wanes when people naturally get tired of the gameplay and the devs can no longer keep it fresh through patches and expansion content. While already flawed as a concept, it's even more dubious when applied to passive media that does not rely on an active network of users to consume.
>>287104150What the FUCK.
>>287102709The only thing worth saving from this turd are the mecha designs and the soundtrack.>>287105768This, valvrape and DitF damaged the reputation of the genre a lot.
>>287104150Inaho's robot eye being less autistic than him was the best part of the show.
