For example, instead of just having characters say how they feel, fairly often they'll change and animate the background to help convey emotions. Have watched the first season and just one episode of the second one. I think the show is a two sided coin. On one hand it has all the beautiful things you described. On the other hand it has silly, totally out of place humour that is not funny at all and destroy the mood they had set before. It's an anime I watch but I wouldn't dare to say it's one of my favourites, which is sad because I think it could be just that. Ya the humour breaks some serious moments imo. I think the show does overdo it by a bit.
I've said this at least 3 or 4 times by now because I really disagree with Miragee on that point.
Yes, the humour breaks the serious moments and it does feel like breaking the 4th wall. That's the point of the series to a degree.
The difference between those 2 worlds he's seeing and to show that you have to have those breaks to indicate how completly different it is imo.

I don't really get what you are saying. So the only way to show the contrast is by adding out of place humour? Please enlighten me. -.-

I'm saying it isn't out of place simply because that's exactly what they're trying to do, show the difference between his 2 different "lifes". The school now probably being something inbetween with based teacher + club vs his past.
You don't have that kind of humour when he's alone in his room eating all by himself. You do have it when he's together with the 3 sisters, with nikaidou, with the teacher or the club.
So even when you do have darker moments as long as he's crossed the bridge to get to the other part of town they tend to make it not dramatic

Yeah and what I'm saying is that you could still have that without chibi faces and flower backgrounds. Just, you know, write some witty/funny/laid-back conversation or situation you could also have in real life. You can add funny faces as well, just keep them as part of a logical mimic of that character. There are tons of ways.
Again, I'm not saying they should get rid of all the humour nor do I say it's not important to show the contrast between his personal life and his life with the sisters. It's just very cheap the way they try to accomplish these points.
|
But do you really want actually funny/laid-back conversations in this?
The situations he finds himself don't change one bit. They're still as dark and as depressing as ever. It's just the outlook on things that changes for him. So in that way I stay with my opinion that the chibi-faces, flower backgrounds and all do fit surpringsingly well in all their seemingly unfitting, out of place way. It's LITERALLY a different way to look at things for him.
His problems don't go away but he is surrounded by people with a different mentality
|
Throwing aside the fact that he and things for him indeed changed quite a bit since the beginning, yes, I would like funny/laid-back conversations instead of the chibi stuff. Heck, even in 3-gatsu they have a few scenes here and there I'm really happy with... Which makes it even worse. It shows it can be done but they don't go with it all the way.

let's just agree to disagree on that one I guess. I like the way they use visuals and humour to give an additional level of contrast, you would rather see them skip that in an attempt to be more... realistic I guess
|
I haven't watched whatever it is you guys are battling over, but it reminds me of the time when Amanchu! came out and someone was complaining about the faces in that show and how they were out of place and shit. Is this a similar situation to that or is Toad the one wrong here?

That's fine with me. If you scroll up a few post you will see I wrote that it might work for some people. You are obviously one of them.

I haven't watched Amanchu so I can't comment on that. I also wouldn't say our argument was necessarily about being right or wrong.

It's a disagreement over the style in which the story is being told; and how the typical seriousness followed by lightness/humor is being presented.
Also Miragee doesn't like fun.
But mostly the first part.

I have seen the first OVA of gundam unicorn. Took me at least 1:30h instead of the usual 60 minutes due to all the pauses to try and understand stuff but I did it.
2nd OVA tomorrow, it's already 4am over here.
Can I call Neo a liar now?
Honestly the haircuts of everything female still throw me off. Like, I can tell that this is supposed to have an old touch to it so things like this happen:
[03:24:26] <Toad|> waitwaitwait, how old is she
[...]
[03:29:47] <kupon3ss> both bananaG and naziloli are 16
[03:31:09] <Toad|> i knew he was 16
[03:31:19] <Toad|> but couldn't tell if she was 16 or 30
[03:31:27] <%EchOne> 30????
[03:31:37] <Toad|> did you see her hair man?
The dude is clearly 16 (or in that range) but the girls are all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe seen too many lolis in thongs recently so anything not that extreme looks suspect on the female side for me.

You really thought Audrey was 30? Are you kidding me?

bahaha she looked young to me so interesting to see Toad's perspective.

You have to remember that Toad almost exclusively watches new anime and the modern designs in general look a lot younger in comparison. I don't think it's weird for someone that is accustomed to modern designs to misjudge ages of characters with "older" design.

No. Its the girl on the right in this picture:

How can any living person look at that and go "looks like shes 30"

She looks in her 20s to me from that pic.
Also why is the age of one of the girls in a mecha show the main topic of discussion lol.

To put it into more context, shes like 2 feet shorter than everyone else she ever appears next to, other than obvious high-schoolers (who shes still shorter than)

Height isn't really an attribute you can measure age with though. Especially when she is supposed to be 16. Most women don't grow anymore at that age or are close to end their growth state.
