Rewatching pic rel. after many years. I don't know there's just something about it that's appealing. Maybe the pacing just being so chill and calm?
>>23816302Exodus and beyond is easily 10/10 material
>>23816323I originally got into it because I never finished Exodus as it was a airing years ago. Are you saying I should watch the movies when I'm done? I like the original and left and right
>>23816302It's a giant robot show featuring parents doing their best.
>>23816302I think it's a very rounded show. The slower pacing of the first 11 or so chapters fits strangely well with how Kazuki is acting and how it changes when he comes back with Sein is oddly fitting. I also really like how the kids that get to the final arc all have their own arc and conflict. >Kazuki coming to terms with life being painful but also worth living >Maya and the pain of being unable to cry when losing someone>Canon learning the value of her existence>Kenji wishing to run away but having to protect what you careIt's well done and by the final act, i was really concerned that any of them wouldn't come back. Again, i think the ending is really really rewarding. Almost makes me wish we didn't got the sequels, if only because i really like how Dead Aggressr ends.Still, there's a certain simplicity to it that makes me like a lot, more so than the sequels.>>23816323I think exodus is as a whole 'better' than DA but my biggest gripe is the end. While DA wraps up every storyline in a satisfying way. Exodus is running through them all because it has so much shit going on in the final episodes. The last episode being 40 or so would have helped it. But i don't dislike it, again, it's stronger in most regards. I think a worthy 9/10.As for the beyond, i'm currently watching it, and i like it a lot. But my biggest concern is that it's only 12 episodes long and that won't be enough, specially since it seems to be the grand climax and ending of the series. i miss canon, that episode wasn't fair, man
I may be a cripple but so help me Amaterasu I'll make you alien fucks more crippled, bitch.
>>23817165I love canon, she is my waifu, I will not allow her to feel alone THIS IMAGE HURTS MEEEEE
I need to really get into this series but good lord the original series is filtering the shit outta me. Dude's gf dies fucking quick and it's like lmao wtf
>>23817447It's like 12 Kingdoms, where you will get filtered if you can't get over Aozaru spamming the Orz soundtrack at the MC for a couple episodes.
Koyo is a faggot.
characters arr look same
>>23817879Hirai-face is pretty strong in this, but if you're not a complete autist you can tell the people apart easy. Stick with it man if you're going to throw it out just because of Hirai-face You are missing out big time. >>23817816Fellow Koyo haters unite. Unite for the love of Canon!
>>23818183I've seen a good amount of them but this was the only show where Hiraiface actually did cause me problems with character differentiation. Mostly with the first gen male kids aside from the main two (despite the fact that one wore a mask and one died(ish)) and then it came back a bit with 2 or 3 of the 2nd gen girlsAnd yes Canon the best, or at least tied with Mama Toomi. Canon just consistently got better while Toomi basically vanished from the show once her tech advancements were no longer needed because all the suits became self propagating magic bullshit
>>23820095I get what you're saying, when I watched Exodus I couldn't even remember who 9/10 of the characters were from the previous show. They need to be given very distinct clothing and it can't change. The only ones from gen 1 males are the mc, the the long haired guy, the Ryusei insert, Koyo, and the gooner (who I only remember because of his voice actor)
Hells yerI was not ready for the pure unbridled nekketsu of GOUBINE
>>23816302most boring piece of shit i ever watched, other than Casshern Sins. bonus boredom pts for sameface chara designer .
>>23821986braindead faggot
>>23821986>TripOpinion discarded
>>23821986Another one for filter.Fuck you and goodbye.
ANATA WA SOKO NI IMASU KA?
>>23824611WATASHI WA KOKO NI IRUZO
>>23816302Shouldn't that be Fafnir?
>>23816302It's amazing how consistent Fafner is as a series, especially with the long gaps between entries. I still need to watch Exodus, was under a rock because of work while it was airing so I missed out on seeing it with /m/en of t/a/ste, but I know for sure it's going to pull at my heart.
>>23817332When did Overwatch get an anime?
>>23835441gb2 >>>/v/
>>23835262Consistent how?Dead aggressor and exodus feel like completely different shows(I like dead aggressor more)or is it more in comparison to things like macross where everything is a standalone product of its time?
fuckin same face
>>23817447>Dude's gf dies fucking quick and it's like lmao wtfNot used to more dour shows throwing characters into the meat grinder, or is it more being befuddled that a character would be killed off without giving you much time to become attached to them?
>>23843323What do you mean? From the original series, to heaven's door, to Exodus, it follows like it's the same show it just looks different.It follows the same characters in the same robots in the same island doing the same things with their same personalities. It's very consistent.
>>23843938I got more attached to the original pilot glasses chick who got black holed on the transport to the mechs 10 seconds into episode 1 than I ever did Shouko's retarded simping self-destructing ass
>>23843958power levels become rather absurd as we go throughthe machines go from killing you to not actually anymore(honestly a significant change in tone)earth gov goes from antagonistic dogma to 'well maybe they were alright'hell just compare the conclusion of something like exodus and right of left undeniably the story become alot less grim
>>23844003So? Times change as history moves on, as does the tone. Soushi says so right in the show. This too can be said about real life. Also because of the Makabe factor and experiments done with Koyo the fafner of course won't kill people and even if they start to assimilate they can be brought back.
>>23843938Oh I'm used to characters dying quick all the time but her being dude's gf right in the same episode and getting blown up was way too much. So it would be more the latter. I get the point of it but it's like she got cut at the very last second so I was just completely as you said befuddled what the fuck was even the point?
>>23844003Well yeah, there's gotta be something worth fighting for even in a world infested with ayys. Everybody grows
>>23844203Sure? All I was saying is the show clearly changed.>>23844355Right of left did this pretty fine despite every last person dying in the end. Pyrrhic victories were the norm for a while in fafner.
I figure it was high time I do this
>>23844341Early Fafner is full of weird writing choices like that, yeah. It generally gets better once you get to episode 11 or so and later moments like that feel better and have more meaning to them.
>>23845003Are you talking about dead aggressor Exodus or beyond
Hi I don't know anything about this what is it is it an anime please can someone explain so I can watch it if it is good
>>23845336Fafner in the Azure. The prequel is: Left of right The original series is: dead aggressor The sequel movie is: heaven and Earth The sequel series is: Exodus The final series is: beyond It's about the remnants of Japan living on an isolated but technologically advanced island juxtaposed with contemporary bordering on traditional Japanese life. It is set 30 years after aliens with no feelings destroyed pretty much the whole world. These aliens are curious about feelings, but only know of empty consciousness so try to kill everyone with consciousness. There's a lot of drama but every episode has action.
