/a/ loves Concrete Revolutio, right? I think it's a brilliant

I guess not enough to post about it. Oh well, at least the spammer isn't here.

>>151828512
It fell for the old trap of "Let's do episodic shit for most of the season and then rush the main plot in the last two episodes". It's alright, but could've been so much more. The fact that you think that everything was "intertwined flawlessly" (how about that ski-jumping episode?) shows that you know fuck-all about storytelling or writing.

>>151828512
>good Bones original
No such thing.

>>151828512

Somehow the ss2 plot was suck. Less hyped than what season one can do.

EARTH-CHAN KAWAII

>>151830606
I think if you describe Concrete Revolutio as "episodic" then you already completely missed the point. What you call the "main plot" is merely the end of something that had been threaded throughout the entire show.

I think the current thread on /m/ is quite fine for discussion.

It was my favorite show that season but it was definitely flawed in it's presentation. There were way too many "self-contained" episodes by guest writers which killed the pacing and more often than not, were shit anyway.
I appreciated the non-linear story-telling but it sure felt clumsy as fuck jumping between timelines (even within the same episode).

It should have just stuck with one writer and cut the filler. If I ever re-watch I'll probably skip them just to see how it improves things.

Downloaded first season's BD a few days ago, too bad the only subs working with the raws are Commie's and they suck. Anyway, ConRevo is awesome, a shame only a few people care about it.

>>151831615
The problem is you would miss out on some important world-building. Lots of characters and concepts pop up in unexpected places and then are reintroduced later on. Off the top of my head, the Strange Power Risk Management guy.

>>151831153
That's really cute.

>>151831907
Commie is such shit that I'm they did not bother subbing it past the first 5 episodes so you're SOL even if you bite the bullet and use them.

>>151831968
I'll admit they are nice for world-building, but ultimately they aren't important and they're about irrelevant characters no one gives a shit about.
Like the band and skiing episodes, which were garbage. There's also the vietnam cyborg one but that was actually fun.

>>151832602
The episodes you named are basically the only two questionable ones in the entire series. And the Vietnam one was important in that it showed America's dog in the game.

>>151832851
There was at least one more but my point still stands.

>>151832924
If you are >>151830606 then your claim that it was "most of the season" absolutely does not stand. There are, at best, a couple fillerish episodes in a series that totals a respectable 24 episodes.

From what I remember, they moved on to the Active Raid threads, since it's a pretty similar show.

It was such a great series but S2 could have used ski-jumping and like half of the Devilo bullshit talk to show us, like dunno, Judas and Earth-chan or other totally-JUSTICE-organization members. And extend Jirou in his red beast of apocalypse mode Equus wrecking his enemies.
And then I still would want s2 to be 24 episodes since it had so much more to tell.

The narrative is a complete mess. As expected of a bones original.

>>151836582
Koma's episode was seriously underrated. Too often we idealize the past when the reality is that the past was just as shit as the present is - a lesson that more people could stand to learn. I was impressed to see a series that actually called people out on that.

In general I don't understand why some people think less of S2. Maybe the first couple episodes of the season gave them some expectations that it would head in a completely different direction from what it actually did. But I think it's very consistent with S1.

>>151830606
I agree that there the final villain could have been more developed but I'm not sure if you can call his plot line the main point of the series.

What you meant to say is "I didn't understand it because it was told out of order and I need things to be spoonfed to me because subtlety is lost on me."

You basically have to be watching the show with your eyes closed to not notice how they tie everything together. Assuming you made it this far, you were probably like "PLOT HOLE! Why was Claude conveniently talking on the phone to Magotake at the exact moment Jiro entered the room?" When if you'd been paying attention you'd have noticed Tozaki watching Jiro arrive and pulling out a walkie talkie. Then while Claude is talking on the phone there's a walkie talkie sitting on the desk next to him, indicating that Tozaki gave Claude the signal to begin the phone call.

I believe Koma-Kage's episode was actually well-received when it aired.
It had a nicely animated fight scene between her and Jirou/Raito, her transformation sequence, herself being quite cute, a deep message about people of bygone ages trying to fight for everlasting peace which is however never within reach (but which the current and future generations must always attempt as well, no matter how futile the struggle).
And of course a bittersweet forbidden love between her and her archrival.

I really enjoyed it, the second half did feel like it fell quite short but it hit all the right buttons from the Showa-Era stuff, the concept of justice and heroism, the History (which probably is why it's so high up for me, that shit made me rock hard as a casual fan of history), and just because I do really like Bones.

It was undoubtedly one of those shows that was improved tenfold while watching with /a/, I wouldn't have been able to catch half the shit on my other 7 lengthy charts without you other faggots.

>>151837679
I felt that Satomi's motivations being somewhat mysterious until the end actually added to the strength of the big reveal. "Did you think I was just some old geezer?!" was a great moment.

>>151832602
I liked the band episode.

>>151837976
I agree. Calling it garbage is a bit much. It gave an outsider's perspective on the superhuman situation.

Only weird thing about it was how nobody seemed to give a fuck that the Jesus-looking guy died.

The only real bad thing about the Mountain Horse was how they reacted toward Dee's death. It just didn't feel right to just walk it off after a dude literally blew up.

I like that we both commented on Dee at basically the same time.

I saw a post on /m/ (side note: do NOT try and discuss Concrete Revolutio on /m/) that speculated it was meant to be consistent with their whole thing about always putting on a smile, but I dunno, they were a LITTLE too lighthearted about it. Probably just needed to be directed a bit differently.

I love how Raito just destroyed that Space guy and ripped off his JUSTICE chip all while psycho music was playing. Damn, it was such a good 1st episode.

4 guest writer episodes out of 24 isn't that bad. Also, of those 4 guest writer episodes, 2 were done by one guy. The endless family was of course the better one compared to Ayane Sakura talking constantly about how you should enjoy try to understand each another.
Although the Devilo-episode did have bewbies.

>>151839460
The Devlio and the sky dudes were pretty lame, but the others were nice, also I wish the show would had another episode because the finale felt a little short for everything it was building up.

I think a big part of the disappointment in S2 is that S1 left the future parts really vague, like Jirou and Shiba clashing in the future, but then you find out in S2 that they have become "friends", which kinda takes out the impact out of that scene.
