Panty & Stocking looks roughly as out there as what little I know about it led me to think.

Thanks for reminding me to watch Flip Flappers, btw.

actually, only the last 20s are indicative of how the show looks like, the transformation sequences are around once per episode and usually shorter and often different. The show makes many offensive jokes so id avoid if youre sensitive or it isnt your kind of humor but overall its pretty unique and self aware

FLFL was cool, the first like 6(?) episodes are 8-9/10 material

P&S is one of those shows that I'll probably give a whirl eventually, but not one I'm planning on trying anytime soon.

Rewatch? I didn't realize you had already seen it since you've had the first season listed as watching for ages. 'Figured you caved after the first several episodes since they're kinda tedious.

Did you ever see Sailor Stars? I watched it subbed, but if you watched it years ago I heard that the old dub never adapted that.

This club needs more Sailor Moon love.
Yeah, since I watched the show as a kid I never got around to watching this season. Just like CCS, my memory of it was getting fuzzy so I decided to start a rewatch but with new seasonals coming out, mangos and just other things to do in general, I didn't go past the first dozen of eps x'). Now that I'm in a mood for more mahou shoujo I might actually watch it after I'm done Smile and possibly Futari Wa (if you aren't too far by the time I finish Smile).

Sailor Stars is definitely the overall best season imo, which is a shame in a way since so many people never got to see it. I might join in your rewatch whenever you get to that. Or maybe even around the end of SuperS since the start of Sailor Stars ties directly into SuperS.

As for the first season, I'm honestly not surprised. It contained some of the best and worst of the franchise all in one season. Those first several episodes and two or three other pockets of a few episodes were probably the most tedious/boring of any in any of the seasons, and it doesn't help that Jadeite is probably the worst Sailor Moon antagonist to boot (actually had to look up his name since his is the only of the -ites I forgot).

Things start generally improving when Nephrite comes along. I remember being surprised at the amount of character development he got with that romance sub-arc. The first season had the benefit of getting to introduce and form the base developments for all the core Sailors, solving the mysteries of the various characters' identities/purposes, and that super surprising/memorable ending.

Oh boy, at this rate this is gonna take like 65~70 hours to finish this time, as opposed to the ~55 of my first run. I'm having fun though and getting to do a lot of things I didn't do the first time by taking my sweet time doing anything.

Just finished Mars Daybreak. It was okay but kinda underwhelming.
Now I only have 6 more shows by Studio Bones left and 2 of those I'll probably never watch (Captain Earth and Star Driver) :/.
Don't bother with Captain Earth, it's trash. I heard Star Driver is pretty #fab tho

Holy shit Pullman, how can you not like henshin? They're the best part of everything they're featured in!



They are inherently repetitive and I just don't see how anyone could enjoy watching the same transformation sequence, that sometimes takes like 30 seconds or longer, in every episode. No matter how cool it looks, if it's gonna be repated a million times (and they ALWAYS are) it's gonna bore the shit out of me. And I'm baffled other people don't think alike tbh. I don't get the appeal of repetitive frames at all. It's just there to fill up time of the episode they don't have to actually animate aside from the very first time.

So please stop ganging up on me just because everyone aside from me in this club loves either mecha or mahou shoujo or both, and not much else. The more obnoxious you guys get about it the less likely I'll ever give those shows a try. If you want to convince me do it like jizzy, downplay the parts I dislike, but don't try to fucking convince me that I don't dislike what I've disliked for 20 goddamn years or that having one preference automatically means I have shit taste when all of you have a dozen other preferences and biases that I will never get because I'm generally open to watch almost everything.
Even as a kid, when literally anything would entertain me on TV (even fucking teletubbies), Sailor Moon and the transformation sequences bored the shit out of me because once you've seen it, you have to watch it a million more times and it just makes no sense to me how that could ever be fun for anyone. No amount of peer pressure will change that so just give it up, will ya?

@Pullman I've never seriously implied that someone has terrible taste with the whole good taste/bad taste stuff-- it's always been joking in tone even if it does express something I agree/disagree with. I even explicitly admitted to Dego that I could see why some people wouldn't like transformation sequences even though I look at it the way I do (OPs/EDs) and am generally predisposed to liking them.

Like I don't even understand what's to get triggered over in regard to that when you can literally skip transformation scenes over 95% of the time and lose absolutely nothing. I don't think anyone here or anywhere is going to try to rip you a new one for that any more than they would for you skipping openings and endings, which tons of people do.

The one and only reasoning I asked for and potential criticism was why you were writing off shows that have elements you dislike when you seem to have clearly enjoyed or otherwise gotten a lot out of other shows that have large doses of those same elements because they had other stuff you did like in it-- and you can't really judge whether a show will have those likeable elements that will make it worthwhile unless you actually give it a try, something you yourself have argued on the forums for ages (both with sports and even with mecha). If asking for an explanation for that apparent dichotomy counts as me persecuting you or trying to cram my opinions down your throat then I'm really at a loss of what to make of that.

Honestly it tries to offend me that you would automatically jump to that kind of stance but whatever. I guess being enthusiastic about the stuff I like or questioning why you approach things the way you do makes me a bad guy now. I just figured you of all people would prefer to have questions asked of you or even have your approach challenged over me or others assuming you're being prejudiced/hypocritical.

Heck even if you were being prejudiced/hypocritical I would barely even care if you admitted it and left it at that. It's true that I have my own prejudices that make me more reluctant to give certain shows a try (the most noteable of which is probably still bizarre art and animation styles), but at least I openly admit them when they exist and try to consciously combat them so I can potentially discover more shows I would enjoy, which I have time and again.

Good taste

Other than that, Rebellion transformation sequences are great af

I also like Madoka because they don't reuse transformation scenes and they have like, 7 or something on the entire series and last a few seconds each. Homura's was like 5 seconds longs or something. The movie ver. transformation sequences looked fab af though, and still no reused scenes.
look at how short but incredibly sweet this is

Also, I can definitely see why tranfsformation scenes are considered boring by many. Especially if they don't look that interesting.
I liked Yuuki Yuuna's because muh Drakengard/NieR OST never gets old.

Pls no raping Shoebill.

@Pullman Transformations sequences are rituals from a sociological perspective. Basically, actions that are necessary in order to proceed. It's the Japanese we are talking about here, so formality is really important. You won't ask a tea ceremony master, "Hey mah man, why do you spin the cup exactly three times every time before drinking from it?" There are things that NEED TO BE DONE. So when the monster of the week appears, we first need to do the silly little dance before we change our attire and battle with it, and we don't ask why, because it's an important formality.

And besides, aren't tropes repetitions in a sense? We have characters, and even entire plot lines and settings that can be fit into a mold based on previous shows we've watched that unravel before us, sometimes in almost an identical way. Don't tell me that you drop a show the same moment you notice a recurring pattern in it that you've already seen?

Smile Precure! was good shit. Didn't think I'd love it as much as I do, but the show ended up being great mixture of goofiness, unexpected feels and badassery. All the Cures were ultra likeable and the strong characterization coupled with a great deal of chemistry between the girls and with the fairy (who was a central character in this season) made for an particularly pleasant watch punctuated by some really hard-hitting moments that never failed to bring a tear to my eye. The villains were also one of the show's strongest points imo, as a group of adorkable doofuses led by a kid-friendly version of Hisoka. I thought the way they were defeated was slightly underwhelming, especially compared to the showdown that happened mid-season, but overall they left a really positive impression on me (the big boss was just a Dyspear prototype with less charisma and influence on the main plot though, so not much to say about him sadly).

Definitely a strong entry that made me ultra happy!

I'm not saying there should be no transformation sequences, just that they bore the fuck out of me. A tea ceremony would also bore the fuck out of me. I hate pointless traditions and formalities. Just because someone, somewhere sees meaning in something doesn't mean I can't just find it super boring and avoid it like the plague. That should be obvious. I feel like a retard for having to explain it :(.

And jesus, do I really also need to explain why similar patterns in different shows and the exact same fucking frames(!) in every episode of the same show are different? Apparently so because you guys really believe I'm stupid enough not to know why I don't enjoy something I've disliked for 20 years even after I talked about it multiple times. Watching some tropes I ACTUALLY ENJOY WATCHING multiple times (in different shows/contexts with different animation, and different characters and different everything else) is obviously more fun than watching something I don't even find very enjoyable in general without ANY variation whatsoever time and time again in the SAME SHOW.

Have I ever complained about tropes or similar patterns? No, I've complained about repeat frames(!!!) in every episode. This whole argumentation is so forced, I don't even. Is it really that difficult to accept that I just don't like watching those shows and transformation sequences that you have to go out of your way to twist my words just so you can criticize my reasons for not liking the same shit you like?
In no other context would anyone accept re-using whole frame sequences and even call it a good thing. Just sayin'. It IS objectively repetitive and refusing to accept that is just refusing to accept common sense.

This new trend of me waking up to a bunch of people refusing to accept that my dislike for mahou shoujo and transformation sequences that I voiced days ago is genuine is really getting on my nerves. When someone says 'I don't like A, it's just a lifelong preference of mine' you normally accept that and not try to convince him he's wrong for 2 days, do you? Am I crazy for thinking that's the normal, civilized way of dealing with someone who has different preferences? Am I?

If I ever gave you (including @TripleSRank) the idea that I'm here to discuss the potential merits and deeper meaning of mahou shoujo and transformation sequences and not just state my preference in one sentence as a quick explanation regarding to the topic I actually wanted to bring up (The Bones catalogue as a whole) and then move on to the fucking next topic, then I'm sorry. But I don't think I did, that was all you guys refusing to let it go after I neutrally stated that I wasn't planning to watch a certain show because it combines two of the elements I historically find the least entertaining in all of anime. I was just stating facts about how I feel. There was nothing to discuss there. Period.

I mean I appreciate passion, but there's a thin line to obnoxiousness and it has been crossed right here. How much more do I need to subjectify my opinion so that people don't think it's something they can argue away? Do I not only need to emphasize that it's a personal preference but also spam the terms 'subjective' and 'bias' every 2 words? What does it take to get you guys to just accept it as my personal bias and not force me to justify myself for every letter I used to voice that preference? I am legitimately clueless as to how I could have voiced my opinion in a less offensive way that doesn't provoke 5+ people to criticize/question me for it.

Because that's what triggers me, that I'm apparently not allowed to have a preference/bias without having to justify myself for it to this whole fucking club for days(!). The whole point of personal preferences and bias is that I don't have to justify it to anyone as long as I'm not generalizing how I feel about it into some objective statements. Which I never do.

And noone finds it strange either. I guess that's what closed-off circlejerking does to you, you find it most normal to immediately question anyone who dares to voice a different preference because he must obviously not know what he's talking about when he dislikes something that almost ALL OF US enjoy so much. He just has a temporarily wrong opinion that will correct itself if we just tell him the truth, that what he dislikes is actually great fun. What, he doesn't like being forced into the position to justifiy his personal preference he had no interest in talking about in any prolonged way? What a dick, let's prolong the discussion even further for 2 days and criticize him for getting defensive even though he pointed out twice that he just got triggered yesterday because he was in a shitty mood all day and probably shouldn't have gone to the forums at all.

^ That is how the situation looks to me. I came to talk about Studio Bones and all their shows and 3 days later I'm still having to justify myself for not liking the same things you guys like despite voicing me preference in a non-offensive way. I'm like 200% sure if I had been talking about tropes/genres/aspects that this club isn't circlejerking 24/7 noone would have reacted either because it realyl just was a random half-sentence side-product of me writing a post about something else entirely. Which shows that it's not some kind of principle thing where I just acted like an ass and no matter the topic people would have called me out on my behaviour. No, it's just people getting weird because I don't like something they personally enjoy very much and they just literally can't let that rest without having to get some stab at my credibility or reasoning in.
I probably regret this post by now.

@Sapewloth Glad it seemed to turn out well overall. Fresh had the best fairy (Tarte) I've seen since Kero in CCS, so it's good to hear that Smile's may be comparable or even better in terms of story contribution.

I was waiting to finish up the first cour to give first impressions but just to #fairwarning you, thus far Futari wa is definitely the most generic mahou shoujo I've watched. It's still pretty enjoyable and definitely isn't doing anything wrong so far, but there's not really much that's noteworthy about it so far either.

Then again you're planning on suffering through Dokidoki so I might be overthinking it.

Also! I now have an excuse to share Futari wa's oldschool OP in all its cheesy glory:

Looks like I made the right decision to start Fresh instead, then. Your comments and silver-tan's shilling made me really curious about it, so I'll watch it first and maybe get to Futari wa later.

Love the OP, btw. Definitely an the type that gets stuck in your head for days.

@pullman I dont like transformation sequences at all either unless they are new footage of the same transformation, reused footage is boring as shit especially in old show. it just reads as lazy especially given that the people who do it the most seems to be good ol toei. I'm really not sure why everyone is being obnoxious about this.

I think the only transformation sequences that I liked was G gundam cause it was like 10 seconds long at most and they usually either skipped it or animated it from diferent angles.

@pullman
It's definitely unusual to get so many responses in a chain like this, but it's a small club of regulars, it's been a slow few days, and you've replied to people substantially - which in turn calls for a reply.

I can see how it feels like ganging up from your pov as a lot of us had essentially the same quips, but I think only Sape and Trip were seriously questioning you, and Jizzy was just shilling as always. Imo, people here respect your opinion, and that's why they're @ and replying to you.
