Code Geas Series and Ending

<< < (4/6) > >>

Alex C:
So, wait, the Achille's heel of an anime series just might be the pacing? Shock and amazement! I know I'd be willing to give more anime a chance if more shows dumped some of the common tropes and tightened up the pacing. That's why I wish a wider variety of anime made it to the United States; it's hard to avoid pacing issues, cliches and schizophrenic characterizations when most of the shows you're exposed to are harem animes or feature the classic "Japanese teenager with a double life as a vampire/mecha-pilot/magician".

Tom:
Well, Shōnen and Shōjo are essentially wish-fulfillment fantasies as is most "young adult" fiction.

Alex C:
Oh, yeah, I get that. I just don't really care. They're going to have to start importing a wider variety of genres or learn to avoid/handle better the night and day switches between "Mundane but silly highschool hijinks!" and "SUPER POWERED SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!" present in many shows before I start consistently giving a crap about anime again.

I love watch Squidbillies, is a great animated film, and my little brothers have a game named SquidBillies. They love that game.

FIXDIX:
Sweet.

Squidibillies.
