Copium Suicide From Eureka Seven Movie - Pocketful of Rainbows (programming.dev)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

in my attempt to satiate my desire to keep the series alive in my heart after binging the og episodes 1-50 and hitting postanime depression..

I made the mistake of watching Pocketful of Rainbows

and holy hell is it bad:

18mins in and you can easily tell Bones skimped out on the animation budget and the story is incredibly weak

seeing all the characters I adore being reanimated but at what cost

right now it feels as if I'm watching my cherished members become zombies; husks of their former selves

23mins in
why
someone looked at this storyboard and thought yup, good to go

this is pure cringe, they turned E7 a series with so much depth and thoughtful meaning behind many elements blended into the themes, characters, hidden plot points into a Shonen hype series that falls so flat that you couldn't fool yourself into thinking that they could stick the landing let alone standing upright

I'm going to bed and I'll rethink about whether I should finish this or not

I've talked to my girlfriend many a times about how disappointing all of the post tv series Eureka Seven content is. It feels like they're all so messy and poorly executed.

agreed

I watched AO when it first came out and I was flabergasted in how shockingly bad it was

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

AO was truly special in how bad it was. I gave up watching it somewhere around them sneaking around in tents, if my recollection serves correctly. I hear that it only got worse so I really lucked out haha.

It was so bad, I almost entirely purged it from my memory until just now lol.
