Why is it not trolling when people shit on AGE, but it is trolling when people shit on Zeta?

As far as I'm aware, AGE was much better than Zeta.

>>14966564

I couldn't even make it past episode 24 because of the direction and how mediocre the art, mecha and characters were. I don't know anything about how it ends. But I didn't find anything special about the direction, if anything it played things too safe and was too cliche and cookie cutter to be interesting. I felt like it was made with all the typical anime conventions in mind as opposed to breaking boundaries and setting new trends like what the old Tomino works did.

Zeta has great directing because it seems monotonous on the surface, but it is extremely dense and nuanced in all the little details that subtly develop over time. Shows like AGE lack that richness and the oppressive and desperate atmosphere that Zeta creates
with the way it structures its arcs, because everything is too out in the open and generically structured to make that unique kind of impact that Zeta had.

No, its Kamille. Stop being an autist. That is a complete non-criticism. There is no reason to fault a show because a character says one thing and does another thing.

How can anyone watch Zeta and think it's nuanced? That's the most ridiculous shit I ever heard coming from Zeta fanboys. Tomino doesn't do nuance. Every message he tries to get across is ham-fisted all the way.

Yeah but that's pretty much everything 4chan discusses.

>>14966397
It's pretty hard to tell the difference between someone posting an honest opinion that's so far from your own that you can't understand why they feel that way, and someone just posting what they know will get a reaction out of people. People see Zeta hate as trolling instead of legit minority opinions just because polls of /m/ show Zeta ranked very highly, though that doesn't actually mean that there can't be people who legitimately hated it. Similarly, people see praise of AGE as trolling because the general consensus is that it shit the bed pretty hard in the third arc so it's hard for people to understand why someone would like it.

Personally, I liked AGE but I did think Zeta was considerably better. But as I've just explained, now that I've stated that I like AGE my entire post will be dismissed as trolling.

Not since like 2010. We're moved up into pretty standard territory since then, and plenty of newer, slower boards have been added in the meantime.
>>
>>14968509
Because without it two things will happen to /a/.

1: There so many Gundam thread /a/ flips out about discussions of whatever they're watching at the moment get pushed under ZEON DID NOTHING WRONG XXXDDD threads.

2:There so many threads about other anime on /a/ almost all Gundam discussion will get pushed underneath it causing alt-spacenoids to freak out and start Colonygate.

Zeta was fine the first time I viewed it but that's about it.
>>
>>14966883
Basically. If you don't pay attention it will come off as monotonous. If you pay attention you will catch all the the subtle development going on in the story and all the interesting nuanced stuff going on with the direction.

>>14966892
By paying attention to what is going on. Tomino's themes themselves are obvious and simple, it is the directing methods he uses to get them across just the way he wants to that are nuanced and eccentric.

>>14966397
Partially because Zeta's from the 80's, so nostalgiafags will happily gloss over flaws that were apparent even for an 80's show.

The rest is because Tomino's name is attached to it.
>>
>>14969711
Zeta is the only Tomino show I hate. I'm fully aware of Tomino's directing. It just didn't work with Zeta. Give me AGE over Zeta any day. I even prefer Victory, l gaim, xabungle, dunbine and all of that over Zeta.

>>14969726
Being from the 80s is not an excuse.

Even Layzner had far better direction, or even earlier shows like Votoms and Dougram.

And it's not like these shows didn't have complex themes. They did, but at least here Takahashi managed to convey a coherent narrative that doesn't feel like some autistic kid wrote it.

>>14969729

I think Zeta is the best of that bunch of (mostly, save some pacing issues)excellent shows. I don't see what AGE could have in comparison to any of them.

>>14969726
But almost every time someone tries to bring up flaws with Zeta they end up citing things that don't match up with what actually happened in the show. It is one thing to not enjoy Zeta, that is totally fair, but when the majority of the critiques are based on objectively false statements about the show then it is hard to take them seriously. Obviously there is an element of subjectivity in all of this, but when someone says " Zeta is bad because x happened" or "Zeta is bad because Y didn't happen" and X never happened but Y did, then what else can you do but point out that those people are wrong?
>>
No one will ever recommend you to watch the Zeta movies over the series, yet people do recommend the MSG movies over the series. You want to know why? That's because when you try to compress a series with a narrative as messy as Zeta's, you end up with 3 movies of incomprehensible sleep inducing scenes.
>>
>>14969752
Xabungle is clearly the best. Zeta is at the bottom for me.

As someone who watched AGE along /m/ during its 2011 run, I can legit conclude that AGE was indeed better than Zeta.

There's nothing in Zeta that makes it better than AGE. NOTHING.

It's just fanboy drivel perpetuated by the meme that Zeta is good because muh 80s and Tomino.
