Why was this so underrated? It was wonderfully produced, and

It was pretty popular.

>>117386514
It won some awards didn't it?

>>117386982
Well shit, that looks fantastic. Downloading the series now. I haven't seen a good ocean-focused anime since Suisei no Gargantia.

>>117386514
No mini Takao

I LOOK ACROSS A RAGING WAR AND FEEL THE STEADY BEATING OF MY HEART

The first episodes were very boring and after that, the anime was just OK.
Sure, it is better than it looks, but it is just 'ok' level.
Not awesome and not bad.

>>117387379
I wouldn't really call Gargantia "ocean-focused."

>>117386514
The first episodes are cringeworthy shounen shit and then it becomes no more than alright. Pretty nice but that's it.

>>117386514
CGshit
Manga is better
Takao a shit

>>117387802
the manga is a shitfest full of ricer'd up submarines and weird ass middle school notebook patterns

Manga is better, more serious and interesting. Sometimes looks like political thriller.

>>117387990
Yes, the ocean is a significant part of the setting, but it's far more a character centered sci fi sort of spiel. The ocean shit is more an implication of setting than a focus.

>>117386982
why are more and more animes being made with 3D models? it looks like some fan made MMD shit

although that doesn't look half as bad it's still got bad animations

Thought the anime was pretty fucking based. I went into it expecting pretty special effects and cute girls, I ended up getting some pretty deep characters.

It is cheaper to animate tanks and ships with 3d models
As someone that I hate 3DCG with a passion, Arpeggio was great.

>>117389825
I'm in the same boat.

It was popular, it was on a couple of lists.

>>117390004
It was a sleeper hit in Japan and riding high on the boats, tanks and fighter planes boom.
The western fandom is always lagging behind with their shit taste and circlejerking to masterpiece kill la kill.

Because, cg

It was reasonably fun, definitely very silly and the first episode isn't great but it developed nicely in time and had some nice character growth once it got underway.

Kongou a best, would cuddle while being slightly afraid.

>>117390217

Kongou an ideal woman. Beautiful and strong like a battleship.

>>117390217
See, this is indistinguishable from hand-drawn anime. The CG is in another league compared to something like KoS or even Butcher's new movie.

>>117390492
She's the only one in tights. Who doesn't love women in tights?

>>117390837
>women
but they're ships

>>117387379
Blue submarine no. 6 is ocean focused, Gargantia is just meks an living on a flotilla island.

And women.

Okay so i watched like the first few eps and thought it was mediocre and boring. What i get from this thread that it actually gets better from there on? Im close to dropping it.

>>117391191
Give it 1 or two more.

I read the manga first, which is awesome in a different way than the anime, so I never had any trouble staying. But it does get a bit better further on.

>>117387827
>>117387925
Reading these two after each other made me chuckle. Thanks anons.

>>117391191
Unlike a lot of anime, it gets significantly better as it goes on.
