That's one hell of a surprise.

Anyway, I certainly enjoyed OOO's climax, but I was really quite curious, since, after Uva turned into the spaceship thing, it became primarily CG.

And OOO Wonderful (The movie you're talking about) is alright. Fairly decent. Introduces a new combo for OOO and has a pretty cool climax (There's one scene that makes no sense, but other than that, it's a decent movie for KR standards).

I'm as surprised as you are, I'd complain that it took the last two episodes for his character to do anything but it clicked into place so beautifully I wasn't complaining at all. In the end I was glad he died, not because I wanted the nuisance gone, but it truly felt like his character had become complete. That doesn't happen a lot.

I thought the CGI for Uva's spaceship form and the general destruction and chaos honestly wasn't that bad, where the CGI fell down in OOO was when it tried to integrate it into none CGI footage like when MMPR flew around or right before Ankh stretched out his wings or whatever that shit looked fucking terrible.

I'll check that film out then!

A lot of these ideas are referenced in the OOO portion of Movie War Core but never make it onto the series itself. I've always assumed that Date's popularity both on the show and behind the scenes led to some of these changes - it certainly kept the hand over of Birth to Gotou from happening when it was originally supposed to.

That would explain a lot, as there is a huge disconnect between the first and second halves of the series. In tone, in focus, in mythology, that is why I feel that the first fifteen or so episodes could be completely thrown out near enough with no issues. I guess I preferred their new plan to their original one.
