i am cringing for almost every move the male and female MC does .. they are so goddamn annoying .. i think i'll drop this if i still won't like this the next couple of episodes

The dramatic moments dont feel appropriate.
In SAO I people actually died when shit hit the fan, so I could understand the drama and seriousness of everyone's emotions/actions
When Sinon yells at the guy about his honor and not being a pussy over GGO's version of DayZ combat logging I just rofl'ed
Its a game, unless people are actually dying in the real world from it, its being way too overly dramatic.

FLEE YOU FOOL!

I liked the second episode, she is now being true to herself and not hanging with bitch girl and her lacky, hopefully she makes friends with the two girls that are introduced

Except all mentioned shows are made by Sunrise who made their entire career making sci-fi mecha shows (I haven't dropped a single watched one in my life so far, yay fucking Valvrave argh totally forget about it), but I get your general idea.

Let's change the sides for once - does this mean for you that mecha show is totally okay if there's nothing actually repulsive and/or offensive?


it's case of symantics, any Gundam named mech is kind of titular in Gundam show.


Does this show has any kind of mecha kits for sail to begin with? It's understandable if not.


Wow, can I befriend you for watching original Dancouga?)


Well, the question was about discarding the show as a sci-fi/mecha fan, right? As a person, anyone can enjoy anything at any given moment, and that's totally fine, so I don't see any reason to ask me straight whether I really believe that no one can/should enjoy the show I ferociously bashed for straight 6+ hours all posts combined, because the answer will be "hell, no".

Discarding a show might not even mean that show is considered a bloody disaster or anything, it just doesn't do any justice to our beloved regulars. NGE, TTGL, CG S2 and GS-GSD, for example, are discarded by the largest part of /m/ audiience for entirely different reasons (one can deduct that mainsteam popularity=instant bad, haha), but nobody jumps at the gun if he liked the show despite the fact /m/ doesn't like to talk about it in general.

In our case, I can't fucking help but notice though that every of those series are miles ahead of Aldnoah.Zero in terms of production value and character work right from the episode one, and have original, not replicated after popular ones, mecha designs, so the given judgement is relatively justified if we agree with general consensus.

The little problem with that artifical logical inequation is that such comparison gives Aldnoah zero chance to succeed and that's exactly why no one in the thread wants to buy it, because if I judge the show on its own merit without taking in account creators' acknowledgements, experience, aviable resources, inspirations, similar works, target audience, all that fancy factors I used before - it would be difficult to say much about the subject, except how much I subconsciously liked/disliked it without actually listing the praises/complaints.

Basically, I can either go with past experience and current knowledge in hand for objective analysis or try to telegraph my emotional responses relying on a personal preferences - and in my eyes both ways obviously suck for discussion, there should be some sort of balance. Therefore, the question about how justified such quality judgements can be isn't depended on a taste issues per say, despite many people thinking that way, but rather on a general approach towards discussion itself.

That's why my 'reviews' may come as a overgeneralised and nitpicking much, when it wasn't really the purpose itself (because trying to establish and impose the order of intangible things at Web leads absolutely nowhere), but barely the means of prioritizing the addition of non-trivial information into the "pot", which should theoretically benefit all the participants.

Heck, the only reason I started it in a first place, it's the idea of improvement. It's not like I try to downgrade every show I've unfortunately watched or something, right?
