Mindhunter

Oh, fancy seeing that you enjoyed the show. I am watching it nowadays, I am in episode 5. Why do you like the show so much?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Have you played the Mass Effect trilogy?

No.

Have you read Dune?

No since based on Thatanimesnob's review of the series, whilst it has excellent world building and descriptions, the plot is made pointless by the protagonist being protected by destiny, flat villains and the female characters losing all personality after the first book.

Do you watch any shows like Star Trek, Stargate, or the newer Battlerstar?

Not yet, at least. Babylon 5 >> All those from what I've heard though.

Any seriously good Sci-Fi mangas or animes?

Manga - Battle Angel Alita, Gundam: The Origin
Anime - Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Planetes, Serial Experiments Lain

For anime, there's also Gundam's Universal Century timeline, but that basically requires a guide of it's own due to how many series there are. If interested in watching it, the way to do so is:

- Movie Trilogy remake (Mobile Suit Gundam I, II: Soldiers of Sorrow, III: Encounters in Space. Does a better job than the original anime due to not having a rushed ending or filler.)
- The 08th MS Team and 0080: War in the Pocket (Not essential to the main story, but excellent side stories better than most of the main series)
- Zeta Gundam
- Char's Counterattack
- The Origin (Prequel to the original series)

Gundam ZZ is a main series that's completely skippable due to it's overly childish tone and not having much to tie it as a good mid point between Zeta and CCA. 0083: Stardust Memory is a completely pointless side series and everything after CCA in the timeline such as F91 and Unicorn are complete

Favourite book series?

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Oh, fancy seeing that you enjoyed the show. I am watching it nowadays, I am in episode 5. Why do you like the show so much?

It has a good focus on logical analysis and doesn't have any plot holes/inconsistencies that I noticed at least.

[Captain Cadaver]

Not really anything new, since the SJW-pandering in recent Star Wars movies ruining the brand from a critical and financial perspective has been obvious ever since TLJ bombed in the weeks following it's release, but it is something I agree with and Bandit covered it with far more time efficiency than most other Youtubers.

If you only had to pool in 100 pounds to wipe lesbianism off the face of the Earth and thus reduce the amount of idiotic feminazis significantly, would you do it?

About Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, would you agree that it connects AotC and RotS better than TCW does? I mean, the show does starts where we left off in AotC and shows several key events like Anakin's knightnization, Grievous's origins (Kind of) and the invasion of Coruscant, whereas TCW just starts with Anakin and a knight with a Padawan and with Grievous already owning a Dreadnought and it ends without showing us the invasion of Courscant.

In those areas yes, though not quite as a whole. Yes, it does provide a more solid intro for Ventress as well as Anakin's knighting, but I don't believe most of that was essential when the TCW movie already tells us what we need to know on who Ventress is by expositing that she's Dooku's assassin and Anakin's knighting isn't too complex a plot point to figure out, given a newcomer to expanded material could simply assume his performance against Dooku on Geonosis warranted it. As for Grievous, whilst the 2003 version made him more intimidating, this alone isn't in line with his RotS characterisation, given Windu's reference to him hiding again like the coward he is makes it sound like this wasn't the only time Grievous retreated in a craven manner. TCW shows his origins better as well, even if only offering a brief glimpse, during the Season 1 episode "Lair of Grievous".
I agree that the Tartakovsky version does have the benefit of showing us the battle of Coruscant, but that's only really due to TCW's cancellation, since it was planned for it to conclude mid-way through Order 66 being enacted.

Also, TCW does a far better job at connecting the characters of both movies, due to adding a lot of key moments that would somewhat justify Anakin's sudden disapproval of the Jedi and turn to the Dark Side.

Do you drink beer?

No, since most of the beer I've tried has been pretty tasteless. I do drink cider though.

He gay, obviously.

Seriously, I only know a basic outline of the series' premise and standing in quality compared to other Rumiko Takahashi works, so I wouldn't know.

 

[SSJ2]

Is the Kenshin anime worth checking out if you've read the manga multiple times? Does it offer anything in a new or different perspective?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

It doesn't offer anything new beyond the art being slightly more angular and mature in some scenes than the manga's , though the fantastic ost and good voice acting makes it worth it as long as you drop it after Kyoto. The Trust and Betrayal OVAs are definitely worth watching due to having a more mature art style than the manga and telling the story of the Tomoe flashback somewhat better as well.

 

[SSJ2]

Can you expand on what you mean by the art being more "mature"?

All Anakin did on Geonosis was disobey Mace Windu by going there and getting stomped by Dooku. And prior to that he already disobeyed the Council when he went to Tatooine and massacrated Tusken Raiders. Obi-Wan by himself was only knightnized because he defeated a Sith Lord, and Anakin by this point is younger and more reckless than TPM Obi-Wan.

Dooku did tell Grievous to retrieve if he's on disvantage though, and it's heavily implied on the months following Anakin's knightnization the, with Mace and Palpatine thinking the war will end if Grievous is defeated and the CIS being desperated enough to send all of their forces to Coruscant. So Mace Windu's line of Grievous running away does make sense.


Since we mentioned TCW's cancellation, do you think it was worth it to cancel TCW for the sake of Rebels? Is Rebels good?
