Sousei was so bad I cried.

Like, when they first fused I was like fuck this I'm dropping it.

Only thing I like is Sousei no Aquarion, the song.

cg in aquarion is worse, aquarion probably have stand alone episodes (like sousei) and orgasms during the fusions are ilarious

Because Aquarion had almost the same main cast as Guilty Crown.

So it's quite of a turn off, because alot of people hated Guilty Crown.

Some might also be turned off by the fact that EVOL is a 42-minute investment for the first episode.

I didn't like Sousei no Aquarion, but I'm still going to get EVOL a chance when I have an hour to spare.

Yeah, it's pretty bonkers to say that Evol's plot is more generic than Lagrange's, which is borderline plagiarism.

Also Amata isn't beta, man. In the first episode he took a bitch on a date, ruined the villain's face and his main flaw is that he's shamed he can fly. Once that little flaw gets resolved and he realizes how awesome he is, it's all good. The only bad characters are the girl and her ex boyfriend or whatever, and Andy/Metal-Jaw/Greenhair McTits/Pirate Gen make up for them

also the CG and art in general poos on this show, to whoever it was who said otherwise.
and it'll have far less filler too.

What a horrible living you must make because when people realize a show is bad they drop it or start picking it apart, they don't cry over it. Then there's the people that are more or less o.k with enjoying a bad show.

Madoka is probably one of the better protagonists I've seen in awhile. She's really fun to watch, and you've got to stop pretending like anyone gives a fuck about Aquarion EVOL as anything other than filler until Kawamori gets back to what really matters: Macross.

I gave a try to both, and I like this one better than Aquarion. Why?

The main reason is the fact that Aquarion is packed full of that destined lover stuff, pretty heavily handled romantic cliches (and the authors try too hard to make the viewer take them seriously, which provokes the opposite reaction and eyerolls from me), and other shoujo crap, and it feels like big robots in Aquarion is not more than a convenient excuse to have a full blown ecchi party and fights between alpha (and no so alpha) males for female mates.

Lagrange, on the other hand, feels different, so far it has a good blend of comedy, slice of life and spanky robot action. Aquarion may be superior in animation quality, but yeah, I definitely like Lagrange better overall.

Aquarion sucks hard, I hated the prequel, the characters weren't that great and the story was very below average.

Rinne no Lagrange has likable, down to Earth characters, a very good and fresh rookie cast, Kaori voicing Madoka is close to perfect btw (her friend and bandmate Yui Ogura must be proud of her), mecha are pretty good, and it has that style of Overman King Gainer (Madoka does fight outside of the box).

Because people think they need to watch the original before EVOL.
And moe fanservice with lesbian subtext is more easily excused by most than orgasm-powered mecha.
And I personally felt like the original Aquarion was a train wreck. So why watch a sequel that's pretty much the same thing, only again?

Well there's always Iczer and Kannazuki no Miko. Lagrange will probably tease around with it some for views, but I doubt it will be blatantly lesbian as those two.

From some pics I've seen, the manga is significantly more explicit than the first episode. What that means for the anime is anyone's guess.

A super go-getter girl, a moe robotic alien and a walking pair of tits are not down to Earth or likable imo. They're just pretty cliche.

Seiyuus will never be an actual relevant thing to a show's quality, unless you thoroughly know and care about Japanese as a spoken language. You're watching for story and presentation, not which celeb idol voice actress is voicing who. Also, Madoka sounds just like very other young girl in every other anime ever.

(Madoka does fight outside of the box).


so does every other super robot mecha pilot ever ever ever

Not to mention the original Aquarion had some rookies in its cast iirc, amazing mecha designs and and very out-of-the-box characters. And its story was hilarious in how oddball it was, a far cry how Lagrange is sticking to every gun possible.

Lagrange doesn't kick the shit out of anything, I'm pretty sure. Off the top of my head, I can't think of another emcha anime I've seen where the difference in quality is so far in this show's favor that it would be considered a "is way better than", let alone a "kicks the shit out of"

...Please just die now. Saying seiyuus will never be consider part of a show's quality is like saying that Cartman isn't funny partly because of Matt Stone's voice. It's down right ignorant and is just your way of trying to downplay the great performers in the cast of Rinne.

Mecha wrestling doesn't seem to be on of those 'guns' or industry staples that a mech fan runs across in every series. OH but don't get me wrong it's not like I am saying that mech battles are all laser canons, light sabers, and funnels, it's just that winning a mech battle by way of a German Suplex is pretty far outside-the-box.

You need to shut up and stop being an annoying fanboy.


Trey Parker is the voice of Cartman. If correcting me on that is so important then I have proved my point that voice actors are part of a show's quality.

Not really what I was saying but ok

Cartman: Iconic character from iconic show with iconic voice
Madoka: Bland character from bland show with VA that makes no effort to sound different from any other hyperactive- sounding Japanese female seiyuu that could've played her.

The point is, I assume neither of us can speak Japanese or recognize many of the subtleties in the language, so seiyuu worship outside of iconic VAs like Wakamoto is pointless weabism

lol I'm not an Aquarion fanboy, it's like a 8/10 show at absolute best

If you've seen any amount of mecha shows, you'd know that the "random kid gets into a super robot" first episode is always accompanied by the kid beating the first enemy in some out of the box and/or flashy way to show how special they are. "german suplex" is kind of neat but can easily be swapped out for any other silly gimmicky thing that makes Madoka look like a unique snowflake

Don't assume things or put everyone on your level just because it is easier for you to create generalizations.
Fact is there are people that said they like her voice and performance, and you said that you can't hear the difference or appreciate Japanese acting. So long as no one is lying both statements can be true. You can be an ignorant noob that doesn't listen or learn and other people can have learned to appreciate/understand Japanese and/or Japanese performances. Implying weabism right off the bat when you don't know me or anyone else's background is done right stupid.

I was only referring to the takedown, not the process of acquiring the mech. And whatever you can dream off to replace that German Suplex would be equally outside-the-box and gimmicky so long as it isn't the normal way mechs have been shown to fight. So changing it to X would still result in being different.

Being a fanboy has little to do with what you rate it and everything to do with how you act when supporting the show you like. Visiting Rinne's anime forum just to pick fights and throw stones at how Rinne isn't EVOL is what a fanboy would do.

It's less of a "you should like Evol" thing and more of a "why do you watch Rinne at all" thing

I watch enough subbed and raw anime to know that there's a certain kind of person who legitimately cares about female seiyuus: otaku

also I think it's p. obv that you haven't seen many mecha anime at all
A suplex is a lot less impressive once you've seen the main guy in Dai-Guard tear off the robot's own arm, toss it at an enemy and call it a "rocket punch"

Rinne no Lagrange is a great AND very enjoyable show.
But I also watch EVOL and don't like it that much till now.
But I'm pretty interested in the story and the characters (although it still looks a bit plain)

Rinne no Lagrange on the other hand has a really refreshing style and the opening alone is enough to make me jump in joy when the episode starts - that's just the kind of anime it is.

Another point could be that a lot of people (including me) just don't want to see any more echi as it get more and more annyoing the more shows you watch (at last after your first 100 watched anime).
