Her childhood friend Shinobu Miyake said, "If you win, I'll marry you.">EPISODE 1-B>desperate situation>Ataru is fed up with Ram interrupting his phone calls with Shinobu every day. The two, unable to make a phone call due to the jamming signals that Ram sends out from the spacecraft to Earth, get excited and decide to meet face-to-face.So I guess they're skipping the oil rain episode...

>>430>7/10More like a 3-4/10, and not as a comparison to the original, but as a standalone. This is especially true because I don't know how anyone who hasn't seen/read the source material could understand what even went on, much less enjoy or care about it. Most moments were so rushed, that a lot of what was conveyed in the original was missing. Moments of humor were shallow, characters felt bland as shit, and attempts at setting atmosphere fell short (bgm,establishing shots, sound effects, etc.). Not even in comparison to the original, in general everything was just shallow. I'd gripe about changes they've made to characters, but the pacing was so ADHD, I could hardly even discern what they did to the characters; they did a really poor job at character building. Pretty much all that went down was a constant loop of one 3-5 second haha sequence followed by another. This wouldn't be so bad if there was any appealing satire, like in the original, but they took out practically every bit of satire/dark humor, or dumbed it down.
For example, they undermined the "I wish I never had you" joke so that it came out less harsh. It's so moefied I can't imagine ever giving a shit about any of the new characters, nor enjoying the humor, even if they could do anything more than emote a face or push a joke in their 3-5 seconds of time before the next characters' turn. At least when the original became a 5 second joke sequence spammer, it still had the satire, atmosphere (especially bgm), and animation to go with it.
About the animation, god damn can it be hard to look at. 70% of the time it's sparkly eye rape, and when it isn't, it's generic digital backgrounds. Although you said the backgrounds are a pro, I doubt you payed more than a glance to them, although I don't blame you, since one reason for the ADHD pacing is probably to hide the backgrounds. Pic related shows a couple new backgrounds and an old one. I won't gripe about the characters not contrasting well with the backgrounds because that's pretty much standard. However, you can clearly see the bad contrast of different aspects of the background that were put together for the final thing. For example, in pic related, basically all the uncanny valley, digital bushes, houses, telephone poles, and other infrastructure contrast horribly with the whole thing. But besides that I'd say everything else was good enough; character movements were fine, faces were alright, and there wasn't really much else that stood out as especially low quality. Again though, putting it all together, it was shallow and nothing above a 4/10.

Also, to the Admin, sorry for spamming, but I really want to stir up some discussion, yet my paragraphs look like shit. Hopefully, if this doesn't get yoinked, maybe seeing more paragraphs will inspire more people to discuss. Anyway sorry again for spam I'll remember to proofread from now on. (pic unrelated it's just so it looks less like spam)
Also would you mind going further beyond "it's what it deserves". You've seen the original so I don't know how you can give the new a 7 in comparison to the original.
While I rated it more as a standalone, I'm assuming you're rating it more as a comparison to the original, and not as a standalone. This is because many of your mentioned pros/cons compare the original to the new one, rather than sharing what the show does well/poorly, regardless of the original. And I can't say your 7 is honest, if it's reflecting how well the new compares to the original. Not only does the reboot dampen the scenes that were better in the original, it also cuts out aspects that made the original appealing; it's not only failing at adapting with what it's rebooting, it's also cutting out parts of what it's supposed to be rebooting . By giving it a 7 you're saying it at least does a good job as a reboot, and maybe adds something else on top, but it's failing even as a reboot.
As well as this, pretty much all your pros (arguments for the 7) that compare new to old are null. For example, you argue one pro is, "it was more detailed and nice (background wise)", but the original has inevitably better backgrounds (since they were done with more time consuming cel animation, yet under similar time constraints, yet the quality, at the very least, holds up to the modern ones). So you can't say this is a reason why the new compares well to the old. Similarly your other pros, if thought of as comparisons, do not work: "Voices were pretty spot on" but the original voices were definitely better(since they defined the characters and how the new voices were picked); "animation was nice" but the original animation holds a mighty candle to it (while being older). And so, especially because many of your pros for your 7 rating compare the original to the new, your rating itself cannot be honest if it is a reflection of how new compares to the original.
However, if you your 7 reflects the reboot's quality as a standalone, then pretty much all your pros don't work, because they compare the original to the new. Your only pro that works to support the reboot's ability as a standalone series is that the animation is nice, meaning it's subjectively nice. That's true, subjectively, but that's hardly enough to say it's a 7/10 as a standalone. Especially since it gives no reason as to why the animation is nice. Basically it insists upon itself meaning the 7/10 insists upon itself meaning your reasoning is "it's good because it's good". That's why I'd really like for you to elaborate.

>>444No need to apologize. High quality posts are always appreciated around here, especially in comparison to the kind of stuff people post on 4/lum/.
Anyways, here's an idea I've been thinking of to keep /lum/ from feeling stale. While this thread has been pretty good, people don't really like posting in super old threads, and it just turns into a long, long thread of occasional posts here and there that are entirely unrelated to eachother. So what I was thinking was making /lum/ threads cyclical, either with a much lower bump limit (somewhere around 50 posts) or a timed limit (like 2 weeks), after which the thread would be automatically archived. I feel this would help the threads feel fresher and new threads could focus on different characters, elements of the show, or whatever else people feel like talking about. Let me know what you all think of this.

Many would probably say that having high quality backgrounds won't matter because of how fast the reboot's pace is. On top of that, some people may say that you're nitpicking every last detail of the original so you can give it a much lower rating.
Now I don't really believe in that counterargument but I decided to write it out for you so can debate it.
As for standalone viewing I can agree that this episode is not very good.
I also did rewatch the original's first episode just for reference and I can see how it does things way better the reboot. Like it being actually funny (mostly part 2 of the episode).
Overall thou I can understand your arguments on why my ratings for the original are null. I just wanted to give the reboot a shot.
