Just watched it. It was ok.
Imaishi's direction is pretty good as always when it comes to characters with lots of spunk, but the action direction relied too much on camera tricks because they have that CGI technology and they're gonna use it goddammit. Not a big fan of the color palette either but the rest of the stylization was cool by making everything so geometrical.
But my biggest problem is that I never fell in love with the characters save for Lio and Kray. The rest came off as pretty flat, especially the two rethreads of Gurren Lagann, which was the most emotional and engaging cast of the entire Imaishi oeuvre, making the clones paling in comparison. That entire last act was also pretty messy, while emotionally intense, it barely made sense. It kinda just happens because they need a big moment for the ending.
Dunno, I didn't feel it. Really wanted to, but it just didn't happen. I still seriously loved Lio's rage, Kray's excuses towards his plan, and how he went crazy. But alas.

I watched it too, not a fan of the low poly effects, The story felt like they originally wanted to make a series but crammed all the characters and story beats of a 26 episodes long anime into 2 hours.
For what it was it was fine.
>not a fan of the low poly effects
I dug it. But I like low poly in general so I'm biased in that aspect. But I feel it was overused especially in the first sequence were most of the animation was CGI
>The story felt like they originally wanted to make a series but crammed all the characters and story beats of a 26 episodes long anime into 2 hours
considering how KLK climax is like 4 episodes of nonstop action for some reason, I'm kinda ok with the pacing if we're talking about the story. But the characters weren't fleshed out at all besides the main 3 players and that hurts the movie the most IMO.
>The story felt like they originally wanted to make a series but crammed all the characters and story beats of a 26 episodes long anime into 2 hours.
Exactly. It had all the visuals without the emotional impact of TTGL or KLK.
Anyone else got reminded of Jebediah Springfield when Kray showed his true colors?
He went from nice to fucking scumbag like in 3 seconds.
I personally lost my shit when this scene happened and these frames were one entire second apart

KRAY FORSIIIGHTOOOOOOOOOO
I watched it the other day and thought it was garbage. The style grew on me by the end, but that the only thing. The characters are one-dimensional and never develop. The story was complete garbage too, like a compilation of all the retarded twists Trigger have used in their other works. They weren't even trying to hide how few shits they gave either with things like Deus X Machina and Dr. Convenient Exposition. Even the fights felt like watching a visual effects demo more than actual choreography.
I'm a fujo and I thought this was basic as fuck. Everyone said this was good homo but the characters are too one-dimensional to give a fuck about
I’m a fag and feel the opposite of what you feel.
You're not real
I’m afraid that’s false.
Watching this with friends in a cinema was a great experience. I won't deny that it was fairly superficial as a film but it was a lot of fun to see, at least in that atmosphere
was the mouth to mouth scene akward?
fuck off faggot tranny lesbo faggot tranny gay fag
how did it make you feel?
>Exactly. It had all the visuals without the emotional impact of TTGL or KLK.
I don't think they ever tried to be emotional. I mean they literally went
>Yeah you by chance discovered this secret lab and if you hadn't earth would be destroyed, now take this ultimate weapon named Deus Ex-Machina and save the earth
The makers were shouting at you that the movie isn't plot driven but rather an eyecandy for animation lovers
Your own fault for watching Promare for the story
>They weren't even trying to hide how few shits they gave either with things like Deus X Machina and Dr. Convenient Exposition.
that was great though
the moment the guy went "DEUS X MACHINA" and then said that if they weren't there by mere coincidence the world would have just ended was legit hilarious
you can do both, though
you can have cool eyecandy visuals but still have a layer of emotional depth to get the audience excited about the cool eyecandy visuals.
Which is why Lio was the most engaging character by far and his rage dragon was such a good scene.
You can but you don't have to. The makers weren't trying to have an emotional impact therefore Galo was the mc, who essentially made a joke about of everything serious and never allowed any of the issues to be of importance
wait how did galo made everything a joke
>The makers weren't trying to have an emotional impact therefore Galo was the mc
this entire line makes literally no sense
By being sheerly dumb and not having his priorities right
Galo did have the right priorities that were saving people. Lio was saving his people but in the process he was causing trouble to everyone else. Kray was obviously a cunt that wanted to have his way. Galo made a compromise of saving people while letting Lio burn everything since they discovered people can be protected by his fire.
There are scenes where he outright sleeps through exposition.
