This is a very, very silly question that I probably know the answer to already, but did you watch the first one? | ||

It was stunningly well animated and had very well made plot. Sadly it's only 25 minutes. I'd kill for a full series of similar happenings. It was pretty cool. | ||

Hyakka Ryoran... they are messing up the animation, which was the best thing in season 1, WTF Photo Kano might be first one to drop, but wait for 1 more ep at least. | ||

Several good characters, and I liked the fights a lot (I think I prefer fights like this over fireworks like in MJP). Good OP, too, and some of my favorite VA:s, lol. Anyone know how much of the manga was covered? Where to start reading. According to people who have read the manga, the last 2 movies or so are alot different from what happens in the manga. So you would need to go from there. | ||

The film is more dramatic, but essentially all the characters end up in the same place it's just done in a different way. There are some weird things in the anime though like how is Girge able to talk to Rygart when the comm shouldn't work for Rygart. + Show Spoiler + Doesn't Rygart get an extreme case of PTSD in the manga, that was completely avoided in the OVA? | ||

Rygart also becomes a common soldier and even lost his mech from the confusion of the battle where Girge died. Eventually he gets his resolve back and finds his mech again, but the end result is still the same even if the films cut that out. The girl that was staying with the queen for example does not escape in the confusion of the battle in the capital but is instead part of the prisoner exchange that gets Rygart back after he is captured. Rygart's brother also comes back just under different circumstances, Rygart still kills the general in the manga but does not use a fancy weapon. My point is they could continue the films and it would not need any changes to stay consistent with the manga. You could just pick up the manga after Rygart defeats the general and understand everything. Other animes like Claymore stayed more faithful to their manga, but had to make shift an ending that changes the plot a lot dooming the possibility of a sequel. | ||

Borcuse then reveals that he knew that Girge was not Dirfinge's pilot (his excuse for killing him), at which point Rygart completely loses it and disobeys orders, murdering him in cold blood. Contrast this with the beginning of the story, when Rygart failed to kill a downed golem, resulting in the death of a soldier. And then in the anime, we see Rygart just up and kill Borcuse. Since the stuff with Girge got changed, the relationship between Rygart and General Baldr is less clear (as is the overall effect Girge has had on Rygart), and slightly different. In short, the end result might be the same, but the character development is markedly different. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + So I finally finished reading this, and WTF just happened? spoon feed me info please Eca. What I got from reading this was that most of Terra happens before the common route in terms of timeline, cause everyone's in their loli forms, and Kotarou apparently likes to make lolis cry. You diverge into common route chronologically if you take Terra bad end, which I found was poorly done in terms of talking about the age of Kotarou, but w/e that's another tangent. Main thing I'm confused with was wtf was Kotarou's idea of a good memory for Kagari to not destroy the Earth with? Leaking all the top secret information of Gaia/Guardian for everyone to learn to use? It also didn't really feel like he destroyed Guardian or Gaia much anyways. The guy from Gaia got himself assassinated by Guardian, and that Kashima hag just went and killed herself, that part was pretty anticlimatic. Guardian just lost their presence in Kazamatsuri, poor Esaka-san T.T. I just don't feel he did anything to Guardian as a whole besides murdering a bunch of people. At least the CG's at the end were nice. But, WHY THE FUCK DID HE STILL KILL KAGARI?! WHYYYYYYYY?!?! So in the end, the world was partially destroyed, but the teacher rescues the heroine lolis and they grow to common route age and resummon me back as Pochi, and then fly to the moon... Oppai route to be read soon(tm). | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Rewrite Terra] + This is what I thought was going on, so someone correct me if I'm being retarded: In the common route timeline, Kotarou gets an injury and is healed by..Kotori and Kagari(?). It slows down his aging and wipes his memories of Gaia and Guardian so he's the same age as Kotori (which explains all the coldness that Kotori complains about in that route). In Terra though, you don't have that accident (or something), so you age as normal and so you get that age difference between yourself and Kotori. And the good memory is kind of weird...but basically Kagari believed that both Gaia and Guardian were using so much of the Earth's resources fighting one another and that if Kotarou were to stop these two organizations for exploiting the earth for their schemes, it would bring a "good memory." Or something. I was confused and didn't pay as much attention once I realized that Kotori was not true heroine.

Because the rotoscoping looks horrible (and is generally frowned upon because it's used to cut costs)? Also, when people watch an anime adaptation of a manga, it tends to be because they like the manga. So when the anime decides to fuck with the designs for no apparent reason, it tends to upset people... | ||
