Oh my god. What the hell is it with Japanese shows and their stupid need for FLASHBACK EPISODES? I mean, yeah, I understand that you usually only get one episode a week, so a series that SEEMS short is really running for at least half a year. BUT STILL. 27-episode series do NOT need an entire episode dedicated to reminding you about stuff you've ALREADY SEEN. Seriously, I think the only thing more annoying than a whole episode of flashbacks is that thing they do in Naruto when they decide to show you scenes over and over and OVER of something you saw like...two episodes ago. Or one episode. OR FIVE MINUTES AGO IN THE SAME EPISODE. LKASJHDLKJASD.
Backstory I'm okay with, because that's stuff you haven't experienced before. Flashbacks usually just piss me off. USUALLY.
...Anyhoo.
So I'm on episode 17 of TTGL. I randomly started enjoying it more around episode 11. I tend to forget how much I actually like mecha series, with all the explosions and battles and things being blown up all over the place. *__* The fight scenes in TTGL got pretty good all of a sudden, so I think once I stopped...ahaha, COMPARING it to other series and stopped looking for deeper underlying messages and just started watching it for my OWN reasons, the entertainment value went up. And the art style has grown on me, like I KNEW it would. I really don't know why it was bugging me in the first place. I think it just reminded me too much of FLCL and oh my GOD, I hate that show. But yeah, definitely liking it more now!
I'm almost out of One Piece movies to watch. LAAAAAAAAAME. I've only got the 8th one left. And the 9th, once it's subbed. A few of us watched movie 6 in chat over the weekend and HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god. BEST MOVIE EVER, RIGHT GUYS????
Not.
Ignoring the HORRIBLE animation, the plot was waaaay too dark and too CREEPY for anything in the One Piece universe. Hell, even if it WASN'T One Piece, if it was just some random anime movie, I still don't think I would've liked it. But the fact that it WAS One Piece had me cringing like...the whole time. Because WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY SHOW??? Oh man. A lot of the characterizations seemed completely off, too. Little things, details that maybe should be easy to ignore, but ended up just being GLARINGLY wrong. So just pile all that on top of the animation - I swear, there'd be these GORGEOUS backgrounds and whatnot, and then the characters looked like they were added as an afterthought, like: "OH YEAH, FORGOT CHOPPER SHOULD BE IN THIS JUNGLE SCENE! *takes two seconds to paint him in*" - it was just nooot very good. In my opinion.
Luckily I watched movie 7 immediately after, and that made everything okay again. :D
...I think I need a new mood theme. HAH, oh yeah, and I totally redid most of my icons a couple days ago. I FINALLY HAVE MORE ONE PIECE ICONS THAN PRINCE OF TENNIS!
ETA: wtf. This show. "Seven years later" and everyone goes retarded.
