Shougeki Gouraigan 11 released

Post by takenoko »

Wiki: http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Shougeki_Gouraigan_11

Well what do you know. Amemiya Keita directs an episode, and it's fucking good. Or at least, it's not irresponsibly bad.

Someone mentioned that they were worried about the show since Granny was the best character. Well, guess she's back. But yeah, she really is the best character in the show. It's weird, but true.

Rin really bothers me. She's so annoyingly submissive. She doesn't even like Gou, but seems to stay out of obligation for him saving her life. It's almost as bad as Hitomi being self depreciating.

The audio editing on the vanguard is awful. That's definitely Nishi Rintaro's voice. But maddeningly enough, they don't give him a credit at the end. (But they do when he just makes grunting noises for the Magii of the week)

Two episodes in a row without Rurika? Great!
Preview:
Spoiler
But she's back in the next episode. Boo!


But yeah. Episode in summary. We had funny bits with the towns people. We had a cool fight (although I can't help but notice that they just fire projectiles at the monster instead of having them interact with the giant thing). Gou got some wings. And the series is almost over. Sweet.

Granny: "I'm needed in this show, right?"
HELL YES

Other than that, it's just some standard sentai splitting apart and then return to fight together thing. And Rin went away without a word, again.

At least in Sentai there's more significance to the event. This episode really does feel like it just went and undid the last episode, so the series is right back where it started. Technically that's true in Sentai too, but we learn more about the characters in the process, which didn't happen here.

It was well written for sure, I just wish the story as a whole had a bit more significance.

On a side note, while it's good to have Granny back this episode is especially bad about the 4th wall. Not only is Granny back from being dead, but she is exactly the same as the "old" Granny, even though she didn't have those experiences.

Good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that thought. She's the lynchpin for everything that's occurring in this show, but we still don't know why she's being this flaky.

That was me. I'm so glad Granny is back and as for the "why": I really don't care. Like Granny. That's why she's the best character in my book.

Totally agree. And after all, this whole fuss is just because of her. That's not the heroine spot, that's the villian. Does there another plot twist knock on the door?

They sort of explain that with the whole watching from the other side thing, but I agree, at this point the 4th wall is just utterly and completely destroyed. xD

This is my first post in the forum, so greetings from Spain to everyone and thanks for your work. :-)

Welcome! Please enjoy your stay.

But yeah, they've been beating down that fourth wall from the beginning with Hitomi's narration.

This ep feels so off to me. I can't read Rin at all. Granny coming back from Heaven is, well, cool and all but as ViRGE has said it makes the last ep irrelevant. But on top of everything it just wasn't fun. All the wtf moments barely made me smile.

Let's see where this is all coming to.

It feels like not only are they making the story up as they go, now they're making up the fight direction as they go as well.

I've been watching this whole time. First off is Gan voiced by the same man who voiced Kintaros, (sorry if this has been answered, i don't read forums much.)?

Also I don't like Rin either, i just thought that is was her lack of personality, but ok submissive is probably it. I feel sorry for Gan, he loves her and she's more than likely gonna treat that like crap. Im not sure i want this to end this quickly, then again i think the 40 to 50 episodes of SS and KR have spoiled me.

As far as I know, they're all voiced by their human actors. Yamamoto Shouma is just going for a really low voice

I really wish they would get rid of Granny & her granddaughter.

Other than providing a roof for the good aliens I haven't seen where they add anything to the show.
