I wanted to like and watch the whole thing because of the girls bt even then I could only make it to episode 6.

All I remember was the sexy brown girl being wasted in this show.

I was expecting some kind of outie.

And sailor moon supers

Re.Creators could have easily been a lot better but they decided to make it shit

How? I watched it because it was gonna look good, but there was actually a good episode that surprised me. I got exactly what I wanted out of watching it.

Wasted Potential - the anime

I remember its title.

You know, for a mech show there sure was a real absence of robots

Its a shame. The show could have been elevated massively with just a few edits to the script. All of the ingredients there were solid, but it wasted too much time on things that we KNEW ALREADY did not matter.

Really, what killed Captain earth is the same fucking thing that has killed almost every mecha show made in the last 15 years: they all think they have to be fucking Evangelion and throw you this massive curveball right at the end. But they don't understand why Eva worked, so all they do is make first 22 episodes worth of setup and plot irrelevant and asspull something new at the last moment that no one has any reason to care about. Franxx did it, CE did it, the list goes on.

Evangelions ending worked because even if the larger plot got screwy, Shinji's personal story remained consistent and thats the story that gets a focused, cathartic payoff. Captain Earth making the Kiltgang completely irrelevant and just making Puck into a functional god without any explanation to be the 'real' big bad scatters the main plot but doesn't have that consistent throughline to keep the show together. And yes, I agree that Puck was set up to be the villain earlier on in the show, but exactly how it happened made no sense and still make the entire rest of the show a waste of time.

I remember. I liked.

What a bad take. Captain Earth has no "curveball" whatsoever, nor nothing in common with Eva or fucking FranXX. The show has extremely clear character and thematic arcs over the course of the show, and nothing is a waste of time, especially not the Kill-T-Gangs that in the finale get their well earned "cathartic payoff" by finally giving up on their immortality to stop the destructive mass of pure ego they created, thus finally growing up. Of course, it helps to understand what the show is actually about.

>plotfags
I'll never understand the hatred every narrative focused board has for a well crafted story.

I liked it.

What is the appeal of a harem if you are not going to fuck everyone?

Doesn't work. For one thing, the script flops around on what the fuck Puck even is to the point that its become unclear. At first he was just a supercomputer built by humans, but by the end he is talking like he is the main computer of the Oberon and always has been, but the Kiltgang are surprised he is there so thats clearly not true. But if he downloaded himself into the Oberon, the question is fucking HOW he did that all the way from Earth because the only thing he is seen doing before then was copying his memories into a single guy, and that took a highly specialized machine they had to load that guy into. So Pucks powers and origins are all over the place.

As for the supposed sacrifice the Kiltgang are making, by this point Puck has already permakilled more than half of them. The others giving up their immortality in an attempt to defeat him is a last ditch effort born mostly of desperation, and it accomplishes exactly nothing. Thats not growing up, thats raging at the dying of the light.

I remember this show, especially the final episode. The part where Puck possessed Hana was hot.

>the script flops around on what the fuck Puck even is to the point that its become unclear. At first he was just a supercomputer built by humans
That was never stated. The nature of Puck is left vague for the first part of the show, but the fact that it follows the orders Mara and Moco since the start obviously implies that it has an alien origin.
>the Kiltgang are surprised he is there
They weren't surprised that he was there, they were surprised that it developed an Ego Block.
As for the machine, it was created by the scientist woman who was taking care of Hime under Puck's orders, so either it already had one or replicated it with the mothership technology. Nothing contrived here.

The show was fun. Puck never lies.

There needs to be way more porn of her than there is, man

He only killed the ones that for one reason of the other got the least development, and couldn't realistically have an emotional moment as the culmination of their character arc at this point. On the other hand, Hime had been conflicted about her own existence as a space vampire since she regained her memories, going as far as not opposing Daichi but instead sharing with him her worries when the other Kill-t-Gang trapped him into the illusory reality, telling him that maybe one day she'll be able to walk the same path as him, Mara sacrifices himself to protect Moco, who herself had slowly been changed by living on Earth and feeling its "wind" over the course of show, and Bugbear was always a deeply conflicted tragic figure. By sacrificing their immortality destroying their own egos, in an incredibly obvious metaphor, they overcome the selfish nature of their existence that up to that point consumed countless lives only to perpetuate themselves, thus growing up (from being eternal spoiled shithead teenagers who find inconceivable to think of anyone else than themselves, another obvious metaphor). By sacrificing themselves they damaged Puck to the point that it had to flee to Earth to replenish his energy and eventually lost.

This was better than shit driver

I liked it enough to get the model kit. They made a really bold move with how they killed off MC and Hana.

I'm convinced that Ei Aoki is the God of wasted potential.

Id:Invaded may be an exception, but I'm sure there's a ton of wasted potential there as well.
