I watched Macross a while ago, and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it sure as fuck wasn't a shitfest of a love triangle. In the end I was honestly rooting for Hikaru and Minmay to be together since these 2 awful pieces of shit belong to eachother.

I sure hope the rest of the series isn't like this, because the original series left a very sour taste in my mouth.

>>160940679
the rest of the series is bad asides from Plus and DYRL

Honestly, the original was pretty great besides the last 9 episodes

>>160940679
>In the end I was honestly rooting for Hikaru and Minmay to be together since these 2 awful pieces of shit belong to eachother.

Yeah, in the end Hikaru didn't deserved Misa after all that unnecessary suffering.

You're Under Arrest was a great anime in the 90s.

>>160940725
Ye I had a pretty positive opinion of the original series up to the final battle, but everything after the timeskip was just painful to watch, episode 34 ESPECIALLY. I think I'll watch DYRL (because that was honestly my original reason for watching Macross), finish it off with Plus and then forget about this series.

>>160940838
For you. I watched the OVA and found it very boring. Plus, Yoriko was infuriating.

>>160940859
It's almost easier to consider everything post time-skip a separate series. SDF had an insane production run that was budget and scheduling hell. Nothing went as planned, and it's part (not all, but part) of why the series was all over the place. Overall though I think SDF holds up pretty well, and is pretty good. It's also unfortunate that while Macross has a trend of the best girl winning, the prize is usually not worth winning.

As for the rest of Macross after SDF, definitely watch DYRL and Plus. I thought DYRL's story was dumb and shits all over everything I liked about SDF, but it's an absolutely gorgeous visual treat. The quality of the rest of the Macross is all over the place and depends wildly on who you ask.

I know it's some pointless social media shit but I saw some fucktards on Twitter getting mad at Kanashimi no Belladonna for being "objectifying" and too "cruel", just pathetic.

Also read that Sugii wanted to leave the film at Jeanne burning at the stake to leave people wondering what all of this would lead to, but Yamamoto wanted to tie it up with the French revolution end. They argued for a while and apparently the first screening(s) didn't end with the revolution and it was added afterwards.

Sugii animated these two scenes as well as the black death.

I never would have though a scene of a little girl receiving a dress with poofy sleeves would be so emotional.

>>160942777
"cruel" and "objectifying" are the cries of a plebeian who cant stand when a piece of work intentionally provokes thoughts and emotions more extreme than the most banal and pedestrian.

>>160943068
Right, that's what I thought. They don't understand the point of the film and probably have no idea that it's an adaptation and not an original work, too. These idiots expect the director and animators to respond to the "problematic" content, ignoring the historical roots and not realizing peasants' fear and suffering leading to witchcraft is an essential part of Michelet's thesis.

>>160942166
It's a bit hyperbolic, and honestly it's been a couple years since I last watched either. I'm fuzzy on details, but I recall really disliking the plot of the movie and how all the stuff I thought SDF did best, particularly the interplay between the Macross and the shadowing Zentradi fleet (both culturally and militarily) wasn't really in the movie. The same goes for the character relations, in particular how Hikaru's military service and Minmei's rise to stardom really changes them. The whole Meltlandi thing I found really dumb as well and much preferred the way female Zentradi worked in the series, especially post time-skip with those two rebel commanders. The plot as a whole felt really messy, and the really wacky stuff like a huge Protoculture city just being on Earth and nobody ever noticing never sat well with me.

It's also somewhat unfair to compare DYRL to SDF because too much happens in SDF to condense down into a movie. The plot has to change, and that's fine, but they changed it in such a way that I think the themes of the original series, and the stuff that really resonated with me, didn't translate well or at all. I feel the movie gets even worse if you take it completely on its own merits because then the holes in the story and just how incoherent it was because of the large time skips to hit analogous story beats to SDF make even less sense without the context of SDF.

Also I hate the Zentradi character and ship redesigns and still have a chip on my shoulder for the way that DYRL influenced their designs in the following series. Though on the other hand, the DYRL versions of the UN Spacy tech and equipment is fantastic.

Sorry for how bloggy that got.

>>160942777
>I saw some fucktards on Twitter getting mad at Kanashimi no Belladonna for being "objectifying" and too "cruel"

Did they not get what was the importance of Belladonna and her actions within the social structure set? Belladonna is particularly interesting in that it makes the woman figure be the power of change, a subject, goddamnit! Cruel, it is cruel, of course it is cruel, do they expect social revolution or alternative societies to go without violence?

Also, watched the first season of Lupin: seems to mingle around being watered down smut and episodic adventure stuff and doesn't seem to quite fit the two. Aside from some particularly entertaining episodes, like the jewelry smuggling one, it was pretty dissapointing, while fun. The OST is the shit, though, captures some sort of mid european sex-thriller vibe perfectly.

>>160943991
Maybe they were grossed out by the sex and violence scenes but I really don't know, I don't get it. It's not like it was even explicit. Maybe kids these days are just too thin-skinned.

>>160944117
But half of the point is how the patriarcal society rips through the soul of women. The violence was necessary to show a motivation of revolution. I need to rewatch it for it to be clearer, but the point wasn't in any single way pornographic. It strayed away from that claiming the intention of sincerity through the suggestive power of its images.

>>160944355
I don't think it has anything to do with muh patriarchy but I'm waiting on the book to be transferred to my local library so I can read it and understand his thesis properly.

>>160943991
>Lupin
Miyazaki and Takahata took over around episode 11 IIRC, which would explain why you picked up on the change in tone.

>>160944355
And that reminds me, I saw one of these morons qualifying it as smut, which is preposterous for the reasons you cited.

>>160944441
Women's liberation and patriarchy are strong thematic points in Belladonna of Sadness, specially from the views it holds in the relations between witchcraft and the Catholic Church. I'm talking about the film here, though, since it is obviously influenced by its own context (overall, the New Left).

How is the TV Patlabor compared to the movies and the OVA's? It's the only thing I haven't watched yet, and all I really want is for the anime to flesh out the entire cast more.

The opening for the TV series certainly seems better than anything from the OVA for instance, so I have high hopes that this is the best Patlabor material available. The movies I don't even want to comment on, that's a different thing entirely.

I wouldn't say it's boring, OVA had plenty of interesting stuff. I know it's mostly intentional parody but it's enjoyable to watch if you know what exactly they're parodying at the time. Picture related for example was great in how it subverts expectations.

That shit is not subtle at all in the OVA, they're just shown together all the time and you assume that they must like each other because this is anime. No idea how it's handled in Patlabor on Television though.

The major issue confronting 2000-2007 anime is the lack of them being able to come back in any kind of real HD. Maybe they'll get the original tapes and work some upscale magic, but it usually can only benefit so far. Other than that, recommending gets harder unless you like more school-related materials. I don't think many people are going back to watch Miami Guns or Tide-Line Blue or Daphne in the Brilliant Blue or Arjuna.

Blurry looks hardly make old anime unwatchable. And even if it makes bland seasonal harems go from bearable to unwatchable, the time period still has plenty of good anime and even masterpieces that are real must watchs even if they look a little bit blurry.

Arjuna was fine, by the way. Great production, looks and sounds great. The only problem was the problematic preaching.

Why do Americans always have a problem with this? Preaching is only bad if you're preaching something wrong.

Are you also pissed at your teacher for preaching you about History or Literature?

It wasn't all the preaching I had a problem with. I was fine with the episode about not dumping poison in lakes, and I was fine with the anti meat industry message, and with parts of the messages about sustainable farming. I could deal with the anti GMO message and the anti nuclear message too, even though they are a bit more complicated.

But the anti vaccination and anti medicine messages and the anti abortion messages were really, really bad, really detracted from it. I was also bothered by "gender is determined by the chromosomes", even though that didn't get much attention and was probably just an oversight due to poor knowledge in the early 2000s, and not anything outright hostile like many of the other messages were.

One thing, though. Generally, "think about the starving children in Africa" is a terrible argument, but this anime did it well, I really enjoyed how the MC got btfo with that statement. Because it was actually in place, suitable for the situation, unlike almost every situation where it's used in real life.

>>160966504
>Preaching is only bad if you're preaching something wrong
Storytelling is supposed to pace us, using opening events to make us more sympathetic to the work's message, then deliver the message once we're ready to accept it. Imagine Nausicaa if the scenes of natural beauty were removed - we'd believe the Queen more than Nausicaa when the insects' destructive force was shown.

It's not that what's being preached is wrong by consequence of being preached, but that preaching assumes the preacher is above needing to sympathize with the listener. The immediate effect is that listeners who aren't naturally sympathetic to the preacher aren't convinced of the message, and unsympathetic listeners may also begrudge the preacher for believing the preached belief should be assumed superior to other beliefs.

What? There's no way I'll get offended by an anime.
Why would you get offended by an anime or any other medium?
>>160966869
Storytelling is supposed to do whatever the fuck it wants, as long as there's a logic in it.
A captatio benevolentiae by the preacher is really the last thing we need. Now THAT would be problematic, not the preaching.

If someone calls me a retard (with no malice) for doing something I'll NEVER get offended, if he's right.

>>160968728

>>160969181
Part of the problem with Arjuna is that the preaching is immoral. People will suffer, society will become worse and in worst case, billions will die, if people listen to what Arjuna preaches. So you could say it's "wrong". The parts that are not wrong, such as the suffering of animals in meat industry, are fine.
I don't think the concept of preaching used in Arjuna is fundamentally wrong, it gives it a unique style and feeling, it's just the content of the preaching I have problems with. And I would not want a large number of anime with that type of preaching. But some is fine.

>>160969503
Is there a manga of it? I think I saved it in my to read list at one point. Lemme check.

>>160969596
People suffereing and dying is not wrong. Sometimes it's needed for a change.

Why do you think we're here now? Me and you? Because our ancestors were geniuses who never did anything wrong?
Nope, it was because someone else was unfortunate and dumb enough to make an example out of their mistake, failure and death.

>>160970008
Giving up vaccinations and medicines would create massive unnecessary suffering.

Yeah: one's a roll of the dice and the other's a laboratory procedure.

How do you know a botanical or biologic hybrid species doesn't end up with some deadly trait? If you sequenced the genes of the species and did experiments to discover what genes affected which traits, you'd know. Oh wait - that's what the lab procedures do by design.

Year 2000 and 2001 have no anime with potential for overrunning the thread, and plenty that could use the safe space, but from 2002 there are some anime with mainstream popularity that could shift the focus of the thread. Because there were no popular anime released in 2000 and 2001 they should be fairly safe to allow.

But what I was thinking was separate threads, there are a lot of 2000s anime that need somewhere to be talked about. Not every 2000s anime gets regular discussion.
