In the last message you said that Gunbuster was overrated compared to other mecha series. I've seen Gunbuster and Eva, and I was wondering what series were being neglected. Give me a rec for a mecha series that might have gone under my radar, preferably something that I can watch pretty casually.

@madville I will give you two recommendations based on how dark of a series you want. If you are looking for a mecha series that is dark and emotional, then watch Densetsu Kyojin Ideon, more commonly known simply as Ideon, it have widely been recognized for its visuals and storytelling and is believed to have inspired Neon Genesis Evangelion in many ways. The other series is Yuusha Ou GaoGaiGar, which really picks...

... up in the second half of the series. The Yuusha series in general is considered a spiritual successor to Transformers, so this may serve as a good gauge for what to expect the series to be like.

@digital-devil Cool robots you say? Maybe you should try Red Baron an anime about a robot fighting tournament. Looking for a good vs evil story with many twists and turns? Then try The Big O or Gun x Sword.

@pklucky Have you seen Hokuto no Ken, it seems to fit the bill for everything that you want. Other series include Golden Kamuy and Baki (both are more recent). I would additionally recommend the manga for Baoh, since the anime is not that good, unless you are looking for a laugh from comical dub lines (no subtitles available to my knowledge).

Hear me out: Gunbuster is overrated when compared to all of the mecha series out there. If it was not made by Gainax it would probably have the same score as the Kakugo no Susume OVA. In a nutshell, there is so much better from Sunrise, Tatsunoko and Toei that get neglected, while Gainax still attracts many people with really only Evangleion and maybe Gurren Lagann (I have not seen this one) supporting the studio.

Honest question: why do people like the characters in Death Note despite being goofy and ridiculous?

6 likes

miela583 3 years ago

Despite might be a key word there- my answer would flat out be be "because they are goofy and ridiculous," for the whole thing overall. Please take this with a grain of salt, though- I have pretty serious issues with the pacing/padding, especially in the interminable second half, but think "wow, this is bonkers and not as smart as it repeatedly, confidently declares" to be the appeal.

Because matsuda and L are great, and objectively the best.

@miela583 @digital-devil Both sound good, thank you. I will prepare to reevaluate Death Note in a little bit.

First half of the series is amazing, top 5 anime all time. Second half is the worst thing I have ever seen.

Because it's an anime with a notebook that can slay people and death-gods - even though the story itself is pretty serious I think it's easy to suspend disbelief. I never had any trouble believing extreme eccentrics like L, Mello, Matsuda etc existed in this world. Most of the strangest characters are also super-geniuses and I think there's already an established trend in media conflating "super genius" with "weirdo"

Extra context is that I was there as the Death Note anime was airing (feels like an age ago now) and was a teenage girl, and so were a huge swath of my fellow fans. Most of the characters having quirks A) led to them being really memeable with lots of lighthearted, fun, jokey fan content made and B) a lot of people found certain characters oddities genuinely endearing and attractive.

A lot of guys around this time took up the habit of sitting like L in chairs, wearing eyeliner and eating sweets because he was so ridiculously popular with girls lol.

Late addendum: I own the full manga, full anime, both of the light novels, the "how to read" extsinsic materials, played the DS game, watched every single live action adaptation and the Broadway musical (which is... so, so much better than it has any right to be, maybe the goofiness of Death Note's premise made it work as a stage musical).

Less an expert and more a piggie eating up the content slop that is the endless reboots and adaptations, even though almost all of them are objectively bad.
