Seconded. I'm at least waiting two more episodes before making any definite judgements on character development and plot sensibility. It's too early and we may get a recap episode. Heck, if this were Victory Gundam, we'd still be in the midst of that utterly confounding flashback of Uso's. This is worlds more informative and straight forward than that.Raikoh wrote:I don't even know who that is, his opinion hardly has any sway on me. "Oh he worked in Gainax in the 80s" well I never heard of him. I get the feeling he's just looking for some cheap and easy press coverage.
It's not even a quarter of the way through its runtime yet. Say what you will about individual episodes, but I'm getting real tired of people outright saying a show is a flop, makes no sense, and other things to that degree when we're not even ankle deep (this applies to more than just Reco). It's like going to watch a movie, saying, "Well, it sucks" fifteen minutes in and then just walking out. We've had series with bad first episodes that really pick up later on, as well as series with great starts losing steam and becoming crap in the past (lots of these). I know that people say that first impressions are important, but they aren't the only measure of quality.
Also, I'm taking G Reconguista as a mystery story with mecha, versus a straight up sociopolitica drama. Mysteries are often confusing and unravel slowly.
