Just finished Pacific Rim: The Black last night. It was pretty good, better than Uprising and the Godzilla Anime Trilogy.
I'm going to avoid spoilers just in case people have interest in seeing it themselves, so I'll just leave some of my thoughts here:
The animation for the Jeagers and Kaiju were some of the best parts of this series, and made even better by the fact that the sense of scale from the first movie is somewhat retained, not as good, but not as off as Uprising, so that was a nice detail, and the designs, I thought, were really good, a nice balance between the two movies, and just good designs overall. The humans, however, is inconsistent, where it's mostly choppy, probably due to the characters moving around a lot more than the Godzilla Trilogy, because they're emulating more of a western style show rather than Anime, but it just doesn't feel right, where there are a handful of scenes where they do move smoothly and naturally. But this may be because most of the budget went into the Jeagers and Kaiju, so I'm not mad about it.
The story was alright, with some interesting new ideas thrown in, and if people were wondering, this is indeed connected to the Pacific Rim timeline, again not spoiling. Most of the plot points were kind of what I expected, but with some of the curveballs thrown in, it made for a fun watch.
The characters were alright for the most part. The voices weren't bad, but not great either, I'm usually sub person when it comes to Anime, mainly because most dubs I've heard are pretty bad *
Looks at Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
* but these voices weren't bad. And might I add, I'm glad they kept a consistent tone throughout the series instead of adding opportunities for dumb jokes at every interval, like Uprising, nor did they try to make this as dark and edgy as possible, so they have my respect.
Oh yeah... Ploygon also did that gosh-awful Star Wars Resistance that only took me the trailers and first episode to convince me it was bad... But anyway, Pacific Rim: The Black, was overall, a pretty good show, and definitely makes up, if not a little, for Uprising, and has the potential to bring, not just Kaiju media, but the Pacific Rim franchise back into the spotlight, though I won't get my hopes up.
Anyway, I'm currently planning my next show to watch, which will either be Case Files of El-Melloi II, while I'm a bit of a Fate kick, Code Geass, since I've put that one off for a while, and I kind of want to see more Mecha Anime, or Blassreiter, you won't be alone Dreamsword!
