I loved the concept, but it's like they were afraid to go all the way. Quantum mechanics: The Anime? Sounds awesome on paper, but it's like they didn't know how to tie it all together and the studio forced them to stretch it into 26 episodes anyway. Loved all the fight scenes, though. Especially the parts with the choppier and stylized animation!

I liked whenever the gang got together to solve whatever each episode's current threat was as well as the subplot about their daily lives and struggles.

I guess I wanted to see more of the future world and a more focused story in general. Noein could have easily been done in 16-18 episodes.

Top notch music too. Didn't notice the similarity of the main motiff with Rachmaninoff until you pointed it out in a forum post.

What's your thoughts on Noein? Finished it yesterday and I thought it was pretty good, despite the very slow pace.

Hah. Imma pretend i never read those SEL and Texhnolyze threads.

Yeah Gurren Lagann is arguably the most epic "shounen" out there. I actually even rewatched it. Not as great as the first time tho. And ofc not the comedy and fan service. They're the worst part of it.

Yeah. Got me confused for a while seeing you completed all eps yet dropped it. And how's Gurren Lagann?

Is Gin no Saji good?

that's kind of you, thank you! yes, you're absolutely welcome to add me on Discord, my username is the same on there. :)

Goood reason. Thanks!

Which screenshot do you think would make the best thumbnail for my ranking?









One that best describes Juuni Kokuki as a whole as well as would attract people's interest towards it. How beautiful it looks is only a bonus.

I personally like this one the most but it'd be too spoiling

I can see what you mean.

Idk, for me tho i didn't actually like it. For some reason the audiovisuals are turning me off more than drawing me in. I suppose i'll stop watching it for a couple days before starting from square one.

Damn boi. You finished Pluto already? You must've been binging it these few days. What did you think of it?

I think perhaps what it really boils down to is how tolerant one is of philosophy and works that heavily invite interpretation. a running theme in most of my favourites is that they're highly subjective and you'll get a different interpreration from each fan. not everyone enjoys that kind of thing and I can respect that: there's nothing wrong with a more direct approach either. the questions Lain asks, like you say, are very broad and that's the appeal for me--sometimes my interpretations of certain things in the show actually contradict themselves, but I really enjoy that back and forth in philosophy. I suppose I have a bit of a Socratic approach (and that's certainly a method that a lot of people have qualms with because it can go in circles). so, for me, that's where much of the depth lies: it's something that makes me think and question. it also led to me looking up a lot of things that were mentioned in the show so I learned a lot from it, too. I just find Lain so endlessly fascinating and it probably helps that I feel a lot of kinship with Lain herself. I do understand what you mean, though, and again, I'm not trying to proselytise to you (or anyone else), I'm just happy to discuss it and why it resonates with me.

I really enjoy unique storytelling and divisive anime (I have School Days in my faves and I'm being completely sincere! 🤣), if after watching something, I have questions and I want to have a conversation with someone about it, I'm satisfied. I just looked up Pantheon and it sounds cool, thanks for the shout (it also has an actor I love from Lost so that's a great plus)! thanks again for reading my long-winded bleating, it's great to have a thoughtful discussion with someone.

Yeah. I too think the characters coulda been better especially personality wise. I was actually talking with this guy here as he said he preferred Texhnolyze over Ergo Proxy. Me having JUST recently rewatched both shows thought i'd throw in my two cents and engaged with him. So to further solidify my view on the former show i thought about asking you.

How far have you rewatched?

I'll look into them later.

Hey i'm curious about your view on Texhnolyze.

Yeah. You see i've actually been reading the summary further and ngl, this enabled me to appreciate the story way more than when i was watching it. Idk. Maybe the anime's other elements just didn't work for me but with this i can see now that the story is actually great.

Yeah that's a nice track. Are you talking about that particular one or the rest in the playlist as well?

You're welcome to enlighten me on the OST. I might've missed somethings (i do like the OP and ED tho).

But oof, gotta admit that's the part of the show where i remember the least amount of details. Hold on, lemme just read the episode summaries...

But i'd say the second arc about the kirin boy was my fav. His growth was very good. Wished he had appeared in Youko's storyline.
