I mean, his strengths have always been character design and 2D mecha animation, and Bravern has very little of that (the character designs were done by a yurifag for God's sake, and all the mecha animation is all CGI save for the Obari punch in the intro). Orgun was a cool OVA, but Dancouga Nova wasn't anything to write home about -- its only good parts were the J-Decker style poses, the 2D animation, the music, and the Dorvack references.
It makes sense when you realize that the loli elf is literally a warmonger/ schlicks to violence and this is her way of stirring up conflict/ grooming people. She hates Frieren because Flammia was more a more self-defense oriented pacifist and Frieren killed the demon king (there’s shenanigans with time fuckery where the hero of the South actually mangled the plans of the demons).
I would say to take anything Frieren says about Civilization with a bit of Grain of Salt..if only cause she only cares about New Spells and Snacks most of the time.
gabriel dropout never really clicked for me, however her becoming the go-to reaction image on /g/ for "applefags BTFO" to the point you just have to post her and everyone knows what it means still puts my sides into orbit. she even was immortalized in the sticky next to stallman and terry davis
Interesting!
Reprints might be a reason, but iirc jaxa was helping produce the show a decent bit to the point the got one of their astronauts aboard the ISS to record some anime original scenes and given recent news they might try to capitalize on it, plus it got decent tv ratings for an anime of around 2-3% for it's first 40ish episodes because it wasn't stuck in some late night time slot.
Oh damn, so Dave Mallow retired after Digimon Tri? I get it, he's in his 70s(!?!) now, still is sad to hear he's bowed out. If only he had known about the movies getting dubbed.
Cute High Earth defense club love is magical boy parody that got three cours.
I want to thank you for the recommendation, I binged the manga and it's fantastic. It's a good combination of horror, humor and weirdness and it keeps feeling fresh, cycling around traditional, modern and current year horror genres. You do realize pretty quick that the main duo (and Daidai) have plot armor and only the red shirts have a risk of death, but it does a good job at making them feel sympathetic. Also the world will probably not end due to the epilogue of the babysitter arc
When I first watched it I thought the same, it was more repetitive and not as energetic, but I grew to like it with the memes and the few better skits.
You were right btw about Gabriel Dropout's Christmas episode btw. It's a treasure and so is the show
