Shelf Life - QB of the Year

A mascot that turns out to be evil is not that original either. I remember something similar in Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne. There is also Bokurano, which is not a magical girl, but there is an evil mascot there.

See? It works both ways

Also being all passive aggressive and spamming that eyeroll emoticon doesn't make you look smart. Just saying.

@ ChocoBar1:

How does pointing out they recycled animation prove anything? Each instance you point out has redone coloring and slots into the show the same way new animation would've. Even if we were talking about time-filling transformation sequences*, that's still would say nothing about quality.



*I couldn't find the full version on YouTube.

t proves that the animation was not fluid or polish and that they had to resort to cheap methods to make ends meet.

Ypu have no idea what you're talking about, they didn't re animate it they just used the same scene and added a color filter on it which is just lazy

After I finished Madoka, I realized that neither the character drama nor the plot ever interested me. The only stuff that kept me watching was all the silly shock value stuff, and there wasn't near enough to make the show worth a rewatch. The characters were all fairly bland, and the plot isn't much of anything. Interestingly enough, the same can be said for most every other Gen Urobuchi anime. Plus, the art sucks.

To those who don't think Madoka is a "deconstruction" of the Magical Girl genre because it's more sci-fi, why can't it be a sci-fi Magical Girl series? I mean, Nanoha had sci-fi elements, too. The key point is that Madoka subverts expectations of the genre it's a part of. Antagonistic mascot, no plot armor, the Witch twist, etc. By doing so, it raises questions of the legitimacy of the usual popular tropes in the genre, and I'd call that a deconstruction. The neat thing, though, is that this respects the genre regardless and it has many purposes outside subverting expectations.

The more of the hyperbollox I see surounding Attack On Titan the less I want to see it.

Again, reused animation isn't the same as stiff or rough animation;

I never said it wasn't "lazy"(given their lack of manpower it'd probably count as a smart move)

I just commented on the images you posted; I never said a thing about the series outside the technical merits being discussed. As for me "criticizing other series for using the same method", A) transformation sequences are just the same footage shown over and over, possibly edited for time*, which isn't even remotely the same thing as what you show in your images

and B) I was only bringing up a more blatant use of recycled footage to illustrate that reuse doesn't have a damn thing to do with the quality of the animation - you just get fifty-two chances to see any mistakes.

Wait, there are people who hate Madoka Magica? They're not allowed to vote or drive cars, are they?

Actually it doesn't. Your lack of a rebuttal is enough proof I need

. It's not mindless just because it isn't Serial Experiments Lain.

If you stopped parading around with that false sense of superiority you feel because you weren't a fan of some god damn cartoon series that other people liked and make a point actually worth rebutting then I'll gladly rebut it. But as of right now that point has not been made.

I'm not exactly what you'd call a 'Titan fanboy' (In fact I openly dislike many people in its fanbase) but it was a well made, if heavily flawed, shonen action series with some great themes and a good balance of dark and light content. Which is a lot more than I can say for other gore fests like Future Diary or Akame ga Kill.

In all honesty it's a very good show. Everyone seems to talk about it like it's the greatest thing ever or mindless trash only enjoyed by idiots. In actuality it's a pretty well plotted action show with good characters. It's not mindless just because it isn't Serial Experiments Lain.
