Is this anime any good? I saw someone compare it to Evangelion and that caught my attention. Is this comparison absurd? I want to watch it but I don't want to waste my time with a shitty anime.
>>23514932>I saw someone compare it to Evangelion and that caught my attention. Is this comparison absurd? IThe comparison is flawed. Its more gundam 0079 than eva in set up.
>>23514932It sucks, you should watch a cool anime for cool kids like you, like rick and morty or avatar the last airbender.
Watch it over darling in the trash.
If you were recced it, it means you have no will of your own to find shows. Get out.
Yes, they are both about a 14 year old boy who needs to get over themselves.
>>23514932I've heard it compared to Gundam X. If it's anything like Eva it's in the the plot having a similar solution to reach ultimate understanding with one another
>>23514932its very boring and not much happens in it. None of the main cast are likable, so it's like Eva in that senseAnimation and music are good but that's it. The show is a waste of time, all style no substance
>>23514932I have watched about 14 episodes so far and I think it's good.
>>23515143>None of the main cast are likableThis is a complaint that I've seen thrown around a lot for a lot of different shows. With E7 it's more true than usual. They're not all awful, nor are they implausibly cruel (in the sense that their cruelty is the kind of thing you'll see actual people do sometimes), but they're basically all unpleasant dicks.The animation is good enough to carry it for a while. I would probably not watch it again.
I remember a coworker telling me that I'm not a real mecha fan because I haven't watched Eureka SevenI watched it and didn't like itIn retrospect he was a dickhead. Fuck you Nick and fuck your game design "company"
>>23514932It's pretty good, stay away from the sequels and movies they are utter trash.
>>23515143>All style no substanceStyle is a part of substance, you midwit.
>>23515168he was right, you sound like a real secondary
>>23514932It's mid. Music is good and the mecha are certainly unique, but it's very clearly in that normalfag niche of "It's le mecha show but the focus is on le characters" shit they spout. Very unlikeable cast and it meanders alot.
>>23515069People compare it to Gundam X because of the romance element.Which isn't a bad comparison, but Eureka Seven has way more Gundam and Macross in its DNA than Eva.>>23515143>>23515161That's one thing I liked about E7, the cast is a bunch of misled people who work together for a greater good.Also they aren't all assholes, it's really just Holland and Talho and they grow out of it by the end.
>>23514932>Reddit recommend blow in
/m/ isn't reddit
I remember despising it when it was airing, but it might have been due to the dub and me watching a completely random episode because I was waiting for something else.
>>23515852The dub's adequate. The second thing was probably a problem though.
>>23514932The only Eva comparison is that the main girl is just a Rei clone
>>23515856Maybe it was just the specific episode(s) where the protag sounded a bit whiny for good reasons I didn't know about.
The thing about the characters in Eureka Seven is that some are pretty realistic teenagers so they can be dumb and whiny fuckils. And their leader is a man child. But I found Renton endearing. And all of them really. And they all grow as the show goes on and I ended up loving it a lot. They finally get their shit together. And they weren't that unlikable they were just going through shit. The revelation of Eureka's past in the military was one of my favourite moments in the show.It gets into cool scifi shit which I liked too. And the music and world were so colorful.
>>23514932>want to watch it but I don't want to waste my time with a shitty anime.Watch it. Just don't watch anything after the tv series.
>>23514932Kind of. The series is good, but not without pacing issues. The movie is better and is a better point of comparison for Evangelion.
>>23514932I think its the perfect anime. But you have to be in the right vibe. Very comfy but kind of depressing adventure story. It's not very actiony but it is pretty.
Weird question. When somebody says a character isn't likeable what does that mean? That they have too many flaws? I always thought characters were supposed to have flaws to make them realistic. Is it that these flaws aren't well balanced enough with positive traits?I am thinking about a lot of prestige Western TV like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Mad Men and wondering what makes an unlikeable lead vs a fully realized anti-hero.
>>23514932Yeah, it's good. Just stop after the last episode and don't bother with the stuff after.
>>23516682In this case it's the former. E7 is very well written but the Gekko State are a bunch of jackasses. But they also grow up.
>>23514932I liked it for the most part. It's definitely a Bones show; there's interesting worldbuilding that never gets fully fleshed out, beautiful designs and animation, and the story absolutely falls to shit towards the end leaving you wondering what the fuck even happened. They're all like that. All things said, I've never seen a Bones show I didn't like. You should watch it.
>>23516567>I think its the perfect animei thought the first half was stronger & more compelling than the second
>>23516682When I say a character isn't likable, I mean that I have no sympathy for the character and I also don't find the character entertainingIt's not a question of flaws. Light Yagami is a morally repulsive character with almost nothing but flaws, but his over the top behavior is funny so I like himE7 does not have a character like that in the main cast (Anemone arguably is but she's a side character)On the other hand, you have a character like D-Boy from Tekkaman Blade. This is the type of character that E7 tried and failed to create several times over. D-Boy is a rough, anti-social guy, but he's a dangerous half-monster who knows he'll have to personally kill off his remaining family and is slowly losing his memories and dragging other people into danger. You can understand where he's coming from and it's admirable how he tries to be a hero even with so many burdensThe characters of E7 neither bear that kind of personal tragedy nor do they have any kind of noble or meaningful goal, They really don't give us much reason to overlook their unpleasant behavior so we can start to care about them and their story.
>>23517916>and the story absolutely falls to shit towards the end leaving you wondering what the fuck even happenedWhat did you find so confusing about it? The only part I didn't and can't understand was how too many organisms would cause the world to end (seriously how the fuck does that work?) but everything else with the hivemind coral was pretty straight forward and I really enjoyed it.
>>23518304>The characters of E7 neither bear that kind of personal tragedy nor do they have any kind of noble or meaningful goal, They really don't give us much reason to overlook their unpleasant behavior so we can start to care about them and their story.What? They're all in rebellion against the corrupt government. How's that not a novel goal? And most of the major characters have tragic backstories. I guess the show just didnt work for you but I had the opposite reaction.
It's the best Gundam series in the last 25 yearsIt's the best Macross series period
>>23518314It's Trappar, the off brand minovsky particle the scub naturally produces. The trapper transmits thoughts as energy, that's how the coral communicates. That energy can ignite, or even explode in the case of the Seven Swell effect, and the ultimate form of this is Summer of Love event. During that event so much energy gathers it tears a hole in the fabric of space time, this is how Nirvash is able to ferry the coralians to another world. The limit of questions is a massive scale version of the of Summer of Love, when it nearly happened it created a hole in space time that is persistent (The Great Wall linking the upper crust to inner Earth), a full blown Limit of Questions event would basically flush everything across the universe in a big explosion.
>>23515069It's Eva if Rei was the main love interest instead of Asuka
Hello 4chan, I've been watching the og transformers cartoon and was wondering if y'all could help me make a watchlist of stuff like evangelist and gurren lasagna, so as not to be such a sorry fucking pleb
>>23520863Production order
>>23520865https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mecha_animeok, is this a good starting point?
>>23520872You know what, yeah
oof
>>23520863Holy shit why are zoomers so helpless. Just watch whatever looks cool. OP just watch Eureka SevenChrist
>>23521180I'm not helpless, I just wanted to ask the people who enjoy it if there were anything I should see.not OP. no one asked your opinion on zoomers or wtfe.go be lame somewhere else
>>23514932Yeah it's pretty cool.
>>23514932There’s a few Eva jokes in E7, like there’s a scene where Renton gets told he better not ejaculate over a women’s comatose body. But it’s not really like Eva at all. It has a little Nerve, SEELE corporate espionage and a-morale experimentation on godlike otherworldly beings but it’s never as much in forefront like in Eva
>>23518314it's not really a reason, it's the universal law that underpins the entire show and its consequences spiral into everything else. standard scifi
>>23514960but avatar is actually good
>>23521687And just like Eureka Seven everything after the first tv series is absolute shit
>>23520863sigh
>>23522416... too punny?
>>23518314Questioning the way things work to the point there are no more questions to ask causes the system to fail.
>Don't meet your heroes the anime.jpgA problem with E7 is that the supporting cast is realistically irrational at times, like they are just dicks. But the show doesn't really give them enough scenes for us to forgive their dickness and it just feels like bullying for no fucking reason. Which is realistic but can be narratively unsatisfying, especially when the show wants you to root for them to save the world.All the tormenting does make the little victories that Renton gets from time to time endearing even if they are as small as rubbing shoulders with your crush.
