Ahhh.... so this is the power of cel

The imperfections make me happy.

I assume there's a long German word for this feeling.

The entire show just took a nose dive after episode 22. In both writing and production.

>>145365916
Those episodes were not worked on by the main staff, as you can tell.

>>145366016
I can tell. It's still kinda sad, particularly involving Jean and Nadia since they were sorta warming up to each other then Nadia is just set back to full bitch until they're in the middle of Africa.

NUANCED

>>145366090
It's strange that they also have their first kiss during this time.

>Not liking the Island arc
Plebs, the whole lot of you. Island arc is the quintessential arc of the series.

>>145366134
It flip flops a lot with their dynamic. Like an old married couple that argues over everything only they're young, sprightly and horribly inconsiderate of each other.

Mushroom episode was okay.

>>145366211
You gotta have your head screwed on backwards or something. The island arc isn't the worst thing I've ever seen but it's pretty mediocre.

>>145365831
You aren't seriously suggesting you are happy to see frames in your anime with entire chunks of body missing, are you?

>>145366211
It does have a few mercifully coherent moments of characterization that shine through.

Mostly it's just backwards progress.

>>145366279
When it's as benign as what was posted above, it's fine. She isn't missing limbs or anything. It's just the bottom of the cel.

>>145366271
If memory serves, the invention episode was partially acceptable as well.

The islands are very uneven.
Their development is actually going very good until that point. They sit down and read Marie's diary together and she gets mad, but doesn't lash out. Jean builds her a shower and peeks at her while naked and she just chides him.
She's really making strides before she gets bad.
Then mellows out when they start exploring the Red Noah.

jesus christ this is the first im seeing the beautiful brown girl

>>145366396
It's basically the dictionary definition of filler. At the very least it was better than the other, second island or Africa.

A bottom of the cel that wouldn't have been seen on TV or the DVDs. Just becoming apparent in the BD remaster.

C'mon, Island arc had so much comedy gold.

Ah, I see. Still, it's not a that big of a deal.

Yes, of course. The filler arcs were made because NHK ordered more episodes of the show and Gainax didn't have the capacity to deliver. So they outsourced to Korea to keep the show on-air(filling the time slot, hence the name "filler") and letting them begin work for the finale. It does seem that Gainax was at least partially involved in the creation of the Red Noah portions of the latter Island episodes since those were actually plot-relevant and explained the history of everything in the show, up to and including the secret of the Blue Water itself.

Nah, it's really not. Especially compared to animation like this from the Island arc.

>>145366629
Mhm, that's what I've heard. That episode is when things start to pick up again, and aspects of the finale make it one of my favorite moments in any show, so it's almost worth it.

>>145366691
The slapstick was jarring, to say the least.

>>145365707
I know Nadia gets a lot of shit, but I fucking loved that show.

>>145366211
Nadia stopping being Tsun and being full Dere for Jeane was just the best.

Why did the island episodes enjoy torturing King?

>>145367155
Maybe we as the audience are supposed to relate to him.

currently at ep. 4, very beautiful to look at, but so far I'm a little bored. I intend to see it through - I want to know where it picks up. Anyone care to drop a line or two on this?

>>145365831
I think there isn't.
Freude an der Unvollkommenheit?

Have something nice:
Liebe ist gemeinsame Freude an der wechselseitigen Unvollkommenheit.
Love is shared pleasure in reciprocal imperfections.

why is she black

Reminder that Nadia is a hermaphrodite.

Varying degrees of brown in the official art, sort of like Asuka's varying hair color.

She also looked much darker in the TV broadcast and the DVD release.
Though I think Newtype earns the award for Niggest Nadia Outside the Africa Arc.

Oops, wrong post to reply to. Meant for >>145368569
It should be noted that Nadia is from Africa and thought she was black herself until she learned she was alium.
