Unicorn Re:0096, episode 4.

*Cracks knuckles*

This episode was so bad, it made me realize this reedit of Unicorn is just sloppy. As if people complaining about awkward cuts and spoilery opening and ending, this episode just threw me over the edge. The recap is really long, like 4 minutes, and they spoil a plot twist from the end of the episode in the revap. The fuck? I've heard of episode titles spoiling things but a fucking recap? Also, way to remove any subtlty from the story by telling us exactly why Syam is letting the box go.

Sunrise, I am severly disapponited in you. I've seen bad things from Gundam (Moon Moon arc from ZZ), I've seen lazy (2 clipshows during Wing), but sloppy? I never would have considered it until now. This shows that Sunrise sincerely does not care about getting people to watch Unicorn again. That it was just farted out to hold a timeslot for Sunrise until they had something to put in. They treat the audience simutaneously like morons yet Unicorn experts. I even doubt we're even going to get new footage for this show, since they could just fill up the standard 25-26 episode que with stupidly long recaps.

Well I'm going on a multi hour trip soon, and my plan for it since I'll have my phone is esstentially to marathon iron blooded orphans and form my own opinion on it since I've heard a lot of mixed things about it, particularly the characters and plot, haven't heard anyone complain about the music so yay
Edit: and from the bit of the show I have watched the music is pretty good so yay... I guess

Honestly what were you expecting?

Something not shit?

It's an OVA chopped up and stretched out to 25 30 minute episodes.

Where you expecting quality from that?

Where in that does it excuse "spoiling the fucking ending" in episode four?

"Chopped up OVA".

They at least could have done a better job than this.

I've never seen it done well hence I always expect mediocrity.

Wow, glad I decided to just finish getting the OVA version to Unicorn then. I'm not even going to waste my time on the TV version.

Anyway, we watched the first 8 episodes to Turn A today. So far they have been pretty enjoyable, but it seems like this was never meant to be a Gundam show. Was that the case? Or did Tomino make it to be a Gundam show from the start? It just seems so different and in a good way, as it does deviate from the norm. The animation is really nice and the soundtrack kicks all kinds of all. Not sure how I feel about the design of the Gundam though, not to mention the fact that they keep calling him the machine with the mustache. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to see more of where this show is going, at least as long as Harry does NOT wear anything outside of his uniform ever again. :-)
