Re: DonBrothers 01 discussion thread
So how much of the Toshiki Inoue playbook is on display here in this first episode? Also a bit of nice realism here I hear Tarou is the Japanese equivalent of John so Haruka's search for "Tarou" is basically the equivalent of starting with nothing

Who would win in a fight? Every member of the subbing group or 1 Anouni?

*Character identity mix-ups/confusion (See Faiz, Kiva)
*Dark, tragic character death in contrast with wacky humor
Thankfully the dark stuff isn't prevalent so far. But remember that Shouraigan started off wacky and whimsical before it got into the edgy, gross dark stuff

If this actually happens, I'm gonna get even more obsessed with the show.

If at any point I hear "I came to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I am all out of gum" any where in the series it is 10/10 roll credits. LOL

Re: DonBrothers 01 discussion thread
im glad im not the only one who felt rider vibes from this show.
yellow focus as the first episode was indeed neat. and left us with no questions answered. i almost feel like i missed something from the finale of zenkaiger.

Noticed something from the pics of Kitou's book online. The first volume chapter of her book is called "My Hero", which is what she says at some point or another

Forget go-busters, anyone else getting MASSIVE mega man star force vibes?
Like, even the word "brother" was very prominent in those games.

Re: DonBrothers 01 discussion thread
We've had some weird series openers before. But I think I can safely say this takes the cake. I have next to no idea what's going on, and I only barely understood what I saw.
The Kamen Rider analogies feel very apt here. Totally screwball Episode 1s are very much a KR trademark, I feel. As for that matter is making a monster out of the civvies. I won't drone on here, but I think the post calling this the SS anti-version of KR Saber isn't too far off the mark; they are intentionally baking in several KRisms into this show, and are doing so in a very obvious manner.
Sidenote: does anyone know how KR has been doing relative to SS in terms of total income?
Meanwhile, I see someone at Toei got a new LED wall. And they are incredibly eager to show it off; putting it so visibly in the OP like that is certainly a departure from the norm. I just hope Toei is able to put it to good use. Even with it, they are clearly making heavy use of green screens at times (the fringes give it away). so chroma keying isn't going anywhere for now.
I have nothing nice to say about the CGI for Pink. But credit where credit is due for the CGI on the mecha fight. Toei is using the top-shelf PBR stuff here, which we've seen very little of outside of LuPat. The motion still gives away that it's animated, but the models look good. And, despite my earlier worries, Toei is still using a full suit here (albeit sparingly), so they haven't thrown in their entire lot on CGI for the mecha fights.
As an aside, the virtual (avatar world?) environment for the mecha fights is an odd choice. They're pretty heavily mixing full CGI with a physical set there. The net result is something of a fever dream splicing Gridman with Tron. It looks neat right now, but I'm not sure if it'll hold up for another 47 episodes.
All in all, it's going to be a weird year. Though I'll gladly take weird over bad.
PS It's just not the same watching a new series without TVN subs. The Anon guys are decent, but I still miss you

I wonder that sometimes. But I don't pay attention to the toy side of things
>Meanwhile, I see someone at Toei got a new LED wall.
Might as well rip off the best show on TV, the Mandolorian
>I have nothing nice to say about the CGI for Pink
lol
>Toei is still using a full suit here (albeit sparingly), so they haven't thrown in their entire lot on CGI for the mecha fights.
could have fooled me. I swear I'm watching a bad short cgi cartoon every time
>S It's just not the same watching a new series without TVN subs. The Anon guys are decent, but I still miss you
it's good to be missed!

Re: DonBrothers 01 discussion thread
It is mostly CGI, unfortunately. But there are a couple of shots where they're using the suit, such as when the robo is breaking down the piles of boxes around him. Also, the shot of the foot when he's taking off is very clearly the suit (since that shot has virtually zero touch-up).

Re: DonBrothers 01 discussion thread
A "damsel in distress" heroine is exactly what I didn't want Haruka to be.... But Alas.... My wishes didn't come true as of yet. I hope she learns to become more independent throughout the show, though.
