J.H. Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well I won't be watching the New Saint Seiya reboot on Netflix. That trailer is so embarrassing I won't even link to it. /straight up changing one of the main characters from male to female makes zero sense. The reasoning is even worse ("it was just a group of guys" is NOT a reason to make Shun female, also the manga and anime have rules for female saints regarding their masks and the consequences for being unmasked) So fuck that train wreck James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underlying lore is rarely the driving force of a good story. I haven't seen the trailer, mind you. I bet the art style will annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty animation and an ugly redesign of a great mecha turned me off no matter how good the story was BUT I'm also one of those rare people that thinks Vehicle Voltron was better due its harder sci-fi political storylines.

Matt D Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think I'm just resigned at this point that art will never look clean and classically aesthetically-pleasing again ever in any TV animation. Everything's going to be cheap and stylized until the end of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James As someone who is in the middle of the final season I can say its been a mixed bag with only the Earth invasion/rebellion season from before really knocking it out of the park. Otherwise its been a general mix of good, terrible, annoying, and pacing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 My thoughts overall of Voltron is that I'm ok with the animation due to liking Airbender. Also, OG was a bit of a mess because of the kiddie editing, and I remember Nickelodeon's attempt at reviving Voltron with that sequel series that fucked with the robot design Waaaaay more than LD did. Also, Voltron Force was fucking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I thought Voltron Force had a good premise from the first few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Not sure where to put this. But there is going to be a five week sentai mini series. It will involve a battle royal of 150 rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I am guessing its probably keeping out the older teams minus a star or two. Not sure if its set for teams or individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hell I'm so behind on Toku, a new season of GARO started and I kinda don't care, though that might be I went back and started rewatching Kamen Rider EX-AID and discovering that it is actually pretty awesome James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It took me six months, but I finally finished the first year of Jojo's. I'm definitely coming back for at least Stardust Crusaders, but giving the series a rest first. Catching up on My Hero Academia (I barely started season 3 before I wandered off for a bit) will probably be my next bus watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Saint Seiya: Saintia is... not terrible. I mean its basically ignoring the rules for female saints altogether to redo the 1st Seiya movie's villain and setting it all up as events that take place i nthe original Seiya timeline (i.e. episode 1 takes place weeks before The Galaxian wars begin). I'm enough of a Seiya fanto see where this goes James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Has anyone watched the new Seven Deadly Sins movie that just popped up on Netflix? Is this some sort of prequel story? Just wondering where it fits in the current timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
