Psycho-Pass Season 1 + Movie are the best parts of the series. S2 is mid because of the new 'main' character (an obnoxious type). I didn't even bother with S3 when they replaced the entire old cast.

God I was so hyped for Aldnoah's second season,

spoilerthen it starts by undoing the finale of the first one so cheaply
I got so mad I never finished.

I'm extremely confused how you don't like build fighters but like divers

[–] Unboxious@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

Right? Build Fighters was incredibly charming, but Divers is genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen. I think the AI girl the MC was simping over would've had more personality if she were written by an LLM!

Because Divers gave us Re:Rise & had really good gunpla designs

While Fighters gaves us Try & had really half-assed designs (except the Dark Matter Exia)

But divers only happened because of fighters

I guess if that's your primary metric I can't deny I liked the Tequila Custom that Build Divers brought us.

But this format has meme potential.

In what universe is Aldnoah.Zero "divisive"?

I have never seen anyone like it, apart from the opening 10 minutes.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago

I liked it ¯\(ツ)

More than psychopass s2

[–] arararagi@ani.social -2 points 1 day ago

First season was popular.

[–] GreyCat@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So a lot of mechas ? 😅
The only mecha anime I've watched and remember are Code Geass and Aldnoah Zero.
I liked Aldnoah Zero quite a bit personally... that is, I liked season 1.
They fucked up s2 by making it all about the hardware that the MC uses instead of his skill like in s1. They also ruined the last really impactful scene of season 1.

Not enough mecha anime gets produced nowadays. It's pretty barren outside of Gundam every couple years.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 2 days ago

TBF they dragged that horse for miles in the 90s.

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone -2 points 2 days ago

Kaiju No 9 was pretty good. I know it's a kaiju not a mecha, but it's pretty similar in execution

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The issue with Infinite Stratos is that it's part of a genre of near exact plot copies. It's almost always a dude who is accepted into a magic/scifi academy and catches the attention of the flame princess and builds a harem. The MC is always somehow a special unique case.

Infinite Stratos
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
Academy Battle City Asterisk
Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle
The Testament of Sister New Devil
Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
Absolute Duo
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Freezing
Myriad Colors Phantom World
World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman
Hundred

The list goes on.

I think Mashle is one of the rare ones that stand out from the genre, but yes. Soul Eater was another.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who's going around hating Infinite Stratos? I will find you and bonk you for hating on that precious combo of stupid, self-aware humour, yuri and mechs.

I really wish SAO was just consistently good thought. I cannot comprehend how you can move between fantastic and terrible so frequently. Like, Alicization started of amazing and then there was also the second half of it...

Weren't there two girls very into each other? For some reason I distinctly remember this of all things about this anime (although it has probably been 10 years since I saw it)
