/a/ - Animu & Mango

That is called a reference for fans. Not a plot hole.

>>831611

>>831616

I'm pretty sure that, at least in that instance, there were plans to have an arc with not-cthulumon, but it was cut due to time constraints so that cameo was never addressed.

Cour 2 little witch academia

Tiger and Bunny, Lunatic. The dude just fucks off after a while, never to be seen again midway through the anime.

Sequel when?

The four cardinal gods (Suzaku and al.) being mentioned in Kemono Friends and turning out to be just tablets. Also "there is something underground that's important to the Friends", that never goes anywhere either.

>>831611

All of ergo proxy. I still wanna stab the weeaboo goth chick that recommended that pretentious garbage to me.

>>831617

It seems like she tried to destroy the witchblade rather than have it cut off and then go after her daughter down the line.

Still they could have just used her boyfriend's connections to put it in a box and drop it into the sea, only to be found if at all centuries after their daughter was dead.

>>831696

>thumbnail looks like a jedi centaur

I'm disappointed.

May as well list plotlines that could've been solved with basic communication skills.

>>831616

>>831669

It wasn't time constraints, but rather the entire staff was replaced and everything they built up was thrown into the gutter by the new staff. Notice how the show became average trash after that storyline disappeared.

>>831691

You know as well as I that Tatsuki had plans to resolve everything. Remember Kaban's hands?

>>831713

Yep, this whole thread could be Angel Beats if we wanted to dive into that rabbit hole. Every week new plot was invented and every week the previous plot was disregarded.

>>831721

The choker was excellent.

>>831739

After ZF, the choker is the best part of character designs. Twintails are close though.

>>831713

The ending or rather the reveal of the MC's past pissed me off the most.

When you starve to death, you cannot fucking donate your organs. What a joke.

>>831697

It's a huge waste of such a unique setting, too.

>>831713

I miss the rage I used to generate when I would talk shit about AB in it's prime. I always thought the show was bad, and why it was so popular was beyond me.

>>831611

To be fair, the Dark World is used again to imprison Demon near the end of the season, and it sets up the idea of alternate dimensions beyond just the Real World and Digital World which are influenced by thoughts and emotions of people in the Real World, which comes back for the ending of the series. But yes, Dagomon is never used. Tri mentions Demon and stuff at the end, as if they'll do a sequel and actually address this stuff. But Tri was shit and killed hopes for a Tamers sequel, so I doubt Tri itself will get a sequel.

However, Tri picked up on Homeostasis from Adventure 1, which was seemingly a very important thing that never went anywhere in that series or any other for nearly 20 years. So there's a chance. Digimon continuity is full of events from an anime only being continued in some seemingly unrelated video game that takes place in an alt universe, then continuing again in an audio drama that takes place in a third universe, and a manga that takes place in a fourth universe, before returning to a different anime from a fifth universe.

>>831790

This, however, has bothered me for 20 years, despite the Pokemon anime never really pretending to have a plot anyway.

>>831817

In an interview several years back it was admitted the GS ball plotline was dropped when Celebi was decided on as the main plot point of the next movie. They had just hoped that everyone would forget about it.

>>831790

The GS ball was a discarded plot line when they decided to use celebi as just a one time movie thing instead in the entire next season as some sort of mystery shadow Pokemon behind the scenes.

I wish they kept that idea because it sounds really cool.

>>831740

>ZF

What's that?

>ITT: plot holes, storylines that don't go anywhere

What is 90% of evagelion?

Aldnoah Zero, where the ending of the first season was perfect, only to reverse all of that and ruin it for season 2.

>>831859

Zoids Fuzors.

Girls sometimes wear them as earrings and it's hot as fuck.

>>831745

I thought he succumbed to his internal bleeding

>>831936

>>831937

What kind of retardation is this?

>>831633

The second season was nu Star Wars bad. Not really surprising considering the first season had an amazing writer and the second season was written by a literal who.

>>831994

My guess is the first Genesis was actually meant to be a good story set in the Shadowverse or whatever the fuck it's called universe, while Virgin Soul was just meant to be another generic mobage anime that's essentially just a 20 minute series of ads.

>>831994

I disagree, I think most of the hate for the second season comes from people not "getting" or simply not liking Nina. I liked Nina and though the second season still wasn't as good as the first, it wasn't super far behind either if we cut out the ending. The hate for this show is undeserved.

>>832003

The plots a mess and the best characters were squandered. Nina was alright but it nosedived after the first episode.

>>831865

Good post. It’s like magic schoolbus but with big gay Japanese robots and not educational

>>833088

>NGE

>It’s like magic schoolbus

What? How?!?

>>833091

The point of Ryoko was about the aliens learning the concept of motherhood. Parasyte is more about the romantic focus and philosophical implications than outright spelling things out for you. This is why the origins of the aliens is never touched upon.

>>832176

>Tri's ending kept the 02 Epilogue canon

Really? I thought they would have retconned it completely.

>TAMERS 2

Hell, I'd take another Xros Wars, even Savers before another Adventure.

>>833262

The Steam light has was like an amped up nitro, I think. It really doesn't matter with Redline, as you're not really supposed to care about the plot.

>>831869

Machindramon's design still gets me, holy shit it's just so good. I prefer bulky robots like him and not the modern ultra sleek boring shit.

>>833336

I agree. Mech and robot designs in anime and sci-fi in general have been trending away from looking like actual machinery to looking like the degenerate warp digivolution of an iPhone. It's some kind of horrible global trend, I hope one day robots will go back to being robots.

>>831713

Came here to post this. I don't know how this show ever got popular. I was pretty unimpressed. It had a good OP though, maybe more episodes could have salvaged it along with some tweaks to the plot

>>833500

It was only a matter of time until the robots became the cute girls, anon

The entirety of 20th century boys.

>>833507

But they look like ugly clowns, not cute girls.

>>833525

No anon you've got it all wrong, it's not a ripoff it's an homage.

>>833527

>that first pic

Anime then, anime now, what happened /a/?

How could anyone forget Juuni Taisen where the whole show retcons its own purpose for the tournament happening by having the one who won it turn it all into a dream, making all the sacrifices of the people that wanted to participate in it pointless and you watching the show to the end feel like you wasted your time. Monkey shouldn't have died early and the deaths shouldn't have turned out to be lame ironic defeats.

Shinsekai yori, they can't hurt their own but the mole rats successfully counter brainwashed them and they can (and have) indirectly harmed them so they could just blindly hurl rocks at the demon/oni.

Not only that but the mole rats only bred one human when the obvious choice was to lobotomize the kids, just like the queen foreshadowed, and wreck their shit with a series of brainwashed kids.

>>833235

Honestly I think the story loses a ton of steam in the middle and the ending is a wet fart of a perplexing environmentalism message. Exploring the workings of these intelligent beastly things, the relationship with migi, and hunting parasytes are the best parts of the show.

>>833091

There's a doujin where she survives and fucks the fat guy and marries him and they have a family.

>>832003

>I HAVE TO FIGHT ALL THE DEMONS AND GODS BECAUSE BECAUSE, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Fighting a war on so many fronts is just retarded there's no way to ever make sense of it.

>>833575

>Shinsekai yori, they can't hurt their own but the mole rats successfully counter brainwashed them

That part wasn't really a plot hole, I don't remember much but they can't harm their own so the molerats used imprinting to make the kid think she or whatever was a molerat herself. So she could harm humans, that's why they made it attack a molerat disguised as a human to defeat it. It's like a duckling attaching to human as mom or something like that.

>>833581

They could indirectly harm each other so if they just tricked themselves, or blinded themselves an attack on the brainwashed one was entirely possible instead they all flailed around uselessly.

>>833591

It's not about if they actually land a hit directly or attack indirectly though, if they indirectly harm a human and realize it's their act that caused it they're fucked. It's not that easy to trick yourself. I don't remember much but I don't think they had anyone around that didn't know who they were fighting with that they could trick to indirectly kill the brainwashed kid. It was an enemy humans couldn't touch so they had to use the ally molerat guy to make the kid self-destruct.

>>833572

The ending was bad but Juuni Taisen's biggest flaw was its repetition, in having all the characters die in the same order, and from the same cause, i.e. stupidly underestimating an opponent. Very few of them got much in the way of a real fight, some of the deaths were so incredibly lame. And they all died in reverse zodiac order, so if you knew that you knew who was going to win. The real unresolved plot thread of the series is where their production values went to, those early episodes were on point, as the series went on the animation went from good to horrible. Really it would have been much better served as a 1 ep OVA, as that first episode, at least, was fun. Every episode after was mostly a lame copy of it, though. Awards for lamest deaths go to Sheep for his sudden stupidity and Horse for suffocating to death. At least Monkey went down fighting.

>>833599

Legend has it the finale of Big O S2 was supposed to be a lot more clear of an ending, but Adult Swim told the director to keep it vague and open-ended in case they wanted to do a S3. Which they didn't. So we got a very cryptic finale. Which is a shame, because I really liked Big O, more for the first season but the second season as well. And it would have been nice to have some more explicit answers to the mysteries of the series, than the mix of symbolism and implication of the finale we got.

>>833589

Do they at least reunite with their beloved digimon again?

>Ruki and Renamon is best ship

>>833607

And now Adult Swim is Family Guy Marathon. Coincidence?

>>833507

>anime comes out about guys piloting cute robot girl-mechs

It'd only be good if there is one robot girl who constantly makes sexual innuendos.

>>833507

>>833838

How about guys pioloting mecha kemono girls who are also competing in competitive boxing and the winner has to put on an idol show that motivates the MC to finally confess his love for his mecha-kemono-girl.

>>833867

Would it add to the experience if the kemonobots had both the brain of a girl and the brain of an animal wired together to form a gestalt with the AI of the kemonobot?

>>833669

Ruki is the only good one. Tri ruined all of the Adventure girls, Miyako was always shit and so was Izumi, Yoshino was pretty bland character-wise and I haven't watched Xros Wars

>>831869

There were already a bunch of Chosen Children by the beginning of Adventure 02. They get more focus as the series goes on, but they were there pretty early. Ken and Ryo predate 02 too, with Ken just kinda getting a Digimon because his friend has one. Plus at least they try to justify it by saying the kids that get Digimon witnessed them in some way earlier, like how the Adventure Chosen Children witnessed Greymon fight Parrotmon in the first movie. My point is, Digimon being commonplace in the flash forward epilogue makes sense. What doesn't make sense is Digimon not being well known in Tri, and the Japanese Chosen Children not being publicly known superheroes after they saved the world in front of everybody so many times.

Also Adventure 02 is canon to Tri. They just half brush the characters under the rug in a very unsatisfying way, even though The Digimon Kaiser is still heavily referenced.

>>832181

Honestly I thought Tri got better as it went on, but the first three movies were so awful that the other three, even though they approached being cool sometimes, weren't even close to making up for it. I want to believe a sequel could be good. Especially if it is about Demon and Dagomon and stuff.

>>833336

It's because Digimon designs, at least back then, were already, to put it nicely, "eclectic." People say it's overdesigned compared to Pokemon, because they just throw whatever looks cool into a blender and hope it sticks. Mugendramon is then the combination of the coolest looking parts from all the coolest looking robot-type digimon. Mugendramon's design doesn't give a fuck. It's just the combination of all the coolest looking stuff they could think of up to that point in the franchise.

>>833558

>>>/robowaifu/

board related. This is how anime will become real.

>>833500

Looks like shit desu.

>>835124

The first few movies were nothing but slice of life shit with barely any plot and barely any action. Not exactly the reason Digimon is appealing as a franchise. The last few movies started actually moving the plot forward and had significantly more action. Not that that action was particularly good, but at least it was there.
