But yeah, I would sign that the third arc of LotGH is probably the strongest and the last one is pretty good as well. It has issues but it also has great moments. Definitely should watch it all the way through. | ||

Death Note + Show Spoiler + I've recommended it to several people, but always told them to stop watching after the first arc. I really don't think the second half is a good watch, if anything it spoils the first arc a bit. Everything I liked about the first arc was gone in the second one. That being strangely relatable characters on both sides of the conflict, that being Light and L, their conflicted friendship, the love and thrill of the cat and mouse game, the false pretense of justice on both sides, the deep mindgames and plots they ran. The revelation of the memory gambit is one of my favourite moments in all of anime. But I didn't feel like any of these things were present in the second arc. Not only that, it slightly spoiled the first arc for me, because of what they've done with the character of Light after the timeskip. The guy who was only excited about the challenge L posed him after he was outwitted once has now been leading a ragtag team of idiots on a wild goose chase while simultaneously delegating the role of supreme judge of the world to lesser men and women. While he used to have some short psychopathic streaks in the first arc, they were mostly reserved to his inner monologue, which kept them contained and kept him a somewhat likeable character, but it feels like he turned quite a lot more neurotic and unbalanced in the second arc. In isolation, I would have probably considered it an average watch, but since it followed the first arc it tasted too strongly of disappointment and anticlimax. | ||

The primary outside antagonist towards the end of LoGH is a bit iffy but everything else about it is fantastic. So if you can get over the cheesiness of the group it's a magical journey. | ||

This wasn't your fault.^^ On May 07 2018 23:07 Numy wrote: Yea I was talking about LoGH sorry. It wasn't the clear since Miragee did talk about both. I do agree with what you said about Death Note if that is any consolation. The primary outside antagonist towards the end of LoGH is a bit iffy but everything else about it is fantastic. So if you can get over the cheesiness of the group it's a magical journey. Yeah, I criticised that back then as well. The only time LotGH had a straight up 80's villain. Or a villain in general for that matter. | ||

Hopefully the new macross is better than delta (they did have some good songs though) and as good as frontier. Problem is, Sidonia's ending is pretty shit, and I say this as someone who likes Nihei. I have zero hope for modern Macross. | ||

Poor mangaka got told by his daughter that his mango wasn't as good as Attack on Titan so he just gave up on Sidonia. dang, that's rough if its true lol. | ||

some of the character designs still need work imo. Also, is it just me or did Iserlohn capture happen much later in the story in the original anime? I could've swore there was a scene where some alliance members got their asses handed to them by the Red roses or something? oh I see, Toad for ya ~ | ||
