Just finished watching it and wanted to know what /a/ thought of it. Considering how there hasn't been any threads about it I guess it was well liked but not really that impressive for everyone.
Personally i thought it was pretty creative story and had interesting ideas but it could have had at least one more episode to flesh out the characters and world .Overall a good show with great animation(even if they overused the CGI at the end). Although it sucks how Bell died and Nonoko didn't realized it until probably later. Bell never confessed to her but at least they showed us that she would die not long after.

Shit animation and writing
Thought it looked and was written like shit. The short was better.

This, in a way. I think the writing was bad, although a decent and lots going on helped. As for how it looked the CGI was, as always, eyecancer and I was always pissed off that they changed the character designs from the short. All in all it was wasted potential, when I first heard it was going to be made I was excited but every subsequent piece of information about it stripped that away, when I finally started watching it I was neutral and by the end I was ambivalent at best.

The animation was definitely better in the short, but I enjoyed it. From the threads right after it came out so did a lot of other people. /a/ just gets tsundere for everything immediately after the initial shiny, fresh, new-ness wears off and the next flavor of the moment comes around.
There were things to complain about, sure; most of which have been mentioned here. Character design changes, some less than stellar writing, and the occasionally painful CG. It had a lot of potential as a concept though, despite some parts of the delivery being misses. Despite all that it did manage to deliver an entertaining, even sometimes emotional (in an admittedly probably cheap and manipulative way,) watch, so I liked it pretty well. I'm sentimental though, maybe I just have shit taste. Who cares.
Either way we already talked about it.
How does this not count as killing intent? He intended that to happen.
I thought it was pretty great. It was atmospheric and creative, though I felt like the FeMC and the soldier boy needed to interact after he was shot somehow. Just having FeMC going around looking for him felt pretty blueballing after the build up in theirnonromanticrelationship.
>bad writing
I'd like to hear someone explain what's bad about it.
Overall the movie was great, despite the visual downgrade from the short.
The scene where the human/mushi hybrid dives into the cavity and the one where Bell monologues about the time when he fell off his borse while the dentists fix the theeth are among the best things seen in animation this year.

Definitive AOTS Winter 2017.this is non negotiabile
I liked the setting. I didn't like that the bad guy had John Wayne bullet shield powers. Took a lot of tension out of it and made it obvious what was going to happen in the end.

Terrible, didn't even watch the second part.
