Fuck, you didn't have to experience the horror that was a romcom fandisc into her drawing the sword...by bleeding out of that hand. Then have a subway tunnel full of that hand as an illusion. Sheer horror I tell you. Tis k she won popularity poll even if her 360 port route was supposedly pure suffering. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Anyways I agree about the shounen ending. Brotherhood is great, but it's shounen qualities cannot be denied. It's the major flaw in the series imo. | ||

It's not just the OP and EDs, it's the whole soundtrack that's really good. Just 1 song being done in so many different ways, and there are many more. Just youtube the rest, they are amazing. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Finished the Akiha routes. Two (fairly) sad endings u.u. Regardless, I liked the earlier part of the routes, with Satsuki turning into a vampire quite a bit, much more than the part with Chaos that you go through in Ciel and Arcueid routes. So far it feels like the Far end half is a lot more interesting than the Near end, I wasn't a huge fan of Arcueid or Ciel routes, honestly. Now on to the meido routes. | ||

Probably just read MB manga as it's fairly well done and it's pain to play through the game for storyline. | ||

Funny fact, the mangaka for MB apparently can't even get past G Akiha himself. | ||

Then I decided to check out Abnormal. Holy shit lol this was so much better than the first season. I really hate it when a sequel is a lot better than the first part.  Luckily it's just like 4-5 eps that are truly unbearable. | ||

Original itself starts a bit in, then goes back to the very beginning. It explains almost everything you need to know, and fleshes out characters that are more relevant earlier in the story while I feel Brotherhood kinda just lets things roll on. While the Original did start earlier than Brotherhood, and I DID like those early episodes, a lot of them did feel very fillerish. And since Brotherhood was basically re-airing material that had been made before, I can understand them going through that stuff and just keeping the important things. The main thing that the Original does better here is because Hughes gets more stuff, I think we both agree on that. On January 15 2013 23:35 Elem wrote: But that is one of the things I liked about Brotherhood. The journey itself was very cool since you get to see a lot more of the universe and when it splits it has really cool character additions (Major General Armstrong ,Lan Fan and Buccaneer) and some characters get more relevant (Mustang and his cronies.) I strongly agree, this is what makes it alot better for me. Plus, I think the Homunculus are better in Brotherhood. Brotherhood Sloth, Wrath, Pride>>>Their Original counter parts. Brotherhood Greed too, depending on which Brotherhood Greed we are talking about. Kimblee was better too, although perhaps that one is alot more arguable. On January 15 2013 23:35 Elem wrote: The big problem for me though is that halfway you know exactly where the hell this is going and it just kills the series completely for me. It just crumbles down to boring shounen ending which sucks when Brotherhood's strenght was other characters than Ed getting a lot of attention and badassery+ Show Spoiler [big spoiler] + Aside from Hughes T____T Eh, I dunno if I agree. Nothing is really wrong with a "shounen" ending (depending on what you actually mean by that), but compared to the Original's ending, I'd take it any day lol. On January 15 2013 23:35 Elem wrote: Now, in Original. The big thing when it splits is that the "bad guys" are more than just BAD GUYS HUU HUU. They're actually crazy bad guys like bad guys should be, and they actually have cool backstories (I guess Pride's story in Brotherhood is kinda good though, and Gluttony's + Show Spoiler + Sadly he is still just a moe little meatblob in the end. I really disagree here. I guess I already mentioned that I think they were better in Brotherhood, but I'll go on to say that Original Sloth was really meh, and Original Wrath was annoying as fuck. Brotherhood Sloth at least provides for good fights and good FUCK YEAH BRIGGS moments, while Brotherhood Wrath is a complete badass. And while on the subject of the Original, you can't possible think that Frank Archer was a good idea. + Show Spoiler + He turns into a fucking cyborg robot later on, and I though that was absolutely retarded, and I LOVE mecha. | ||

:/ Actually I'm kind of torn. The previous design was iconic, but at least she is modestly dressed .............. | ||

I like my Motoko the way she is T.T Once you figure out what to spam on the original MB, G Akiha isn't bad. Its just the original version was so unpolished and clunky as a fighter, if you try and play it like its legit, you are going to die. If they had the same engine/level of polish MB games had from AC onward, it would have been a legit boss fight. | ||

I prefered Shirow Masamune's artwork better though. Let's hope it will be good anyway since GiTS is my favorite franchise. | ||
