I liked it, but it did feel rather rushed. I wish THIS could've had the hour long premier instead of Star Wars.

Watching it now.

I agree with it feeling rushed.

It also feels cliche and sterotypical. Im not complaining, too many shows have been deconstructivist and post-modern these last few years. Its good to get back to the basics and make a show thats just...fun to watch.

>>93470

yea it feels very '80s overall. Still think the man will be able to get this into high gear once he gets everything established and working. Heck the early Jack stuff was a tad dull. Still I think it felt like what he was aiming for that being Old School Anime

>>93479

>>the early Jack stuff was a tad dull

>>the later Jack stuff made Aku look lame... SKELETOR LAME, became less and less about defeating Aku and going back in time, had no story consistency, or a decent ending.

But enough mocking...

>>it felt like what he was aiming for that being Old School Anime

Yeah, I could kinda feel that with the characters' early clothes designs (like something from Captain Harlock).

Man the robots in the show has some HEAVY machine robo influence

>>93484
It's a pretty clear homage to the seventies space opera and giant robo genres. But the campiness of those shows was balanced by how seriously they took themselves, this has far more (often bad) humor which sort of undermines the tone, at this point at least.

>>93498
They at least take the invasion, science and evading earth's military part seriously. The show's philosophy is a weird mixture of dead-pan and sincere but I'm fearful a good season or two is going to be a repeat joke of earth culture from aliens that JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PRIMIATIVE AND NON UNITED THEY ARE. Also I really hope they explain Lance's sordid service record soon because I hate the same vague conversations to last long in shows.

I can't unsee it. Their personalities are even similar.

Getter please.

He reminds me of a Leiji Matsumoto character, but I can't pinpoint a specific one.

OH OH!!

please copy/paste this and replace the space with a dot. I'd rather not have MU seeing any referrer sites and whatnot

Derp

Looking pretty Alucard there Solomon...

Watched it, and it looks very awesome.
The animation is simply gorgeous, and despite having a fast pace in this first episode, I'm guessing that we'll see more plot and character development in the following episodes.

>>93591
Eugh, never liked Ronin Warriors. Specially the americanized "Samurai Warriors" version.

>>93603

Anyone want to be a bro and reupload to Mediafire? Megaupload is blocked in Turkey.

>>93640
Y'know, between him having Space Battle Ship Yamato cannon, and an army of tokusatsu uniformed soldiers, I get the feeling there's going to be a mid season twist that this guy is Ilana's secret brother or something.

>>93689

Either she or her protector gets injured and he steps into to complete the Titian

>>93690
It had better be every bit as "Red Ranger with Green Ranger's shield" as it sounds.

>>93674
I would, but I can't right now, sorry. But it's on TPB if that's not blocked

>>93689
Coincidence? Or decision made based on Solomon's past?

>>93792
Coincidence? Or was King Galiluna's son the test pilot on the rift generator?

>>93796

hmmm knowing how much this thing is taking from the old school Anime I'd say its a safe bet

>>93796
Too early to call if he's related to them or just another alien, however this show is like reliving one of my greatest fears that the intelligent life out there in the galaxy are dumb anime people.

I kind of like the idea that Solomon and his agency are human, though. I'd like it if there were SOME competent human organization, because God knows the military general seems to be a raging shoot-first cowboy asshole.

>>93885
But what is they're blue-skinned, elven space-chicks?!

Space-chicks, man!

Blue skin!

>>93942
Hey now, just because first contact went rather violently when his troops fired at the giant robot doesn't mean the guy is incompetent. Besides, they were the ones who got to the crash site first. Within minutes I might add.

Also, what did you want him to do? NOT shoot at the giant alien robot that appeared out of nowhere at the same location as a giant fire monster that was devastating a town?

Given how little they know of the aliens firing all they've got is perfectly rational. I mean you don't wanna end up like the guys in the helicopter in Independence Day. Not when you've already clashed with the aliens in question.

That said, I REALLY like how refreshingly modern and 'realistic' the military is vis-a-vis the partially retro-futuristic Galactic Guardian Group.

I really liked the first contact scene.

I also love how General Steel's command vehicle is basically a Mammoth tank with one cannon.

It was far from perfect, but I think it has plenty of room to grow in to a proper groove.

I'm betting that the fallen general is possessed, there will be a (dramatic) reveal in which his hat is removed showing his hypnotized eyes.

Personally I'm thinking some kind of mind-squid under the hat or something.

>>93952

>Also, what did you want him to do? NOT shoot at the giant alien robot that appeared out of nowhere at the same location as a giant fire monster that was devastating a town?

Honestly? Yes. I want a genre-savvy Army General.

Just watched it.
The art style and cinematography are great, I have a lot of hope for this show. The story was pretty packed though, it was a lot of exposition to cram in 30 minutes, would have probably been better as an hour long premiere.

>>94204
Titan likely couldn't get it because of Star Wars or one of the other shows and decided to make them all premiers to balence it out. Hopefully things will be better paced in the future.

>>94275
Actually Star Wars had an hour long premier. And I don't think the episodes even have anything to do with each other.

>>94383
Well I mean there wouldn't have been time anyway because of how much Star Wars regularly took up or some other scheduling fuck up that just made them go for broke with 30 mins. Or maybe Gendy just wanted something that could still be shown on a regular basis and not turn it into a special they could only play for like a month or so or in marathons.

>>94110

Agreed. The "Meat-headed" General is used far too often. Time for someone who can at least wait to see the differences between a 'friendly' and a 'hostile'.

>>94436
When cities start being destroyed you kinda can't afford to wait.

I don't see why people are so upset about the general, the only other way it can really go is he's on their side which just leads to the equally cliché struggle with his superiors. Besides he doesn't necessarily have to stay that one dimensional.

>>94616
Actually, I can think of a ton of different ways to go with him than just two.

>>94657
I kind of want him or Solomon to try and get one of them to squeeze out military secrets. Friendlies are fine as long as you have a way to defend yourself against their "help". One of them is has to be more focused on human advancement then being a diplomat.

>>94657

Really? Go on then.

>>94781
Trying to peacefully detain them.
Try and work closer with Solomon to figure out what's going on.
Realizing he's clearly outmatched and they are his only hope, etc.

I'll add more tonight.

So I was thinking, why do we ever need the General?

Then I realized he's, like everything else, an homage TO the Shoot first generals of old.

My body is ready for the next episode.
