PokeNirvash Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 The laughably terrible CG animation is bad enough, but that damn Disney original movie rock song playing in the background is what really makes this trailer a true disasterpiece. 2 1 Quote
Chapinator_X Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Ex-Arm’s first episode is looking magnificent. 2 Quote

Mortir Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 It does not look much worse than that recent GitS show. I would wait until it comes out to give a final verdict. Quote
Distinct Lunatic Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 honestly I don't see anything that bad with it. the song doesn't fit, but changing the music is something they can do relatively easy. The animation doesn't look that great I guess, but as long as they're able to tell a compelling or entertaining story they could still have a good show... i have zero intention of watching it, considering i don't support (or ever plan on) supporting Crunchyroll in any capacity. also I'm not really interested in their shit anyway.

The1gairon Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I could care less about this. At any rate, I'm still waiting for that them second season of Land of the Lustrous. Quote
CAC Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Like who even gave the ok to even release that trailer. If I was that project manager it would of been a big nope. 1 1 Quote

-Ninja_Jesus- Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Animation-wise it's like they looked at RWBY fight scenes and said "How could I make it worse?" Quote

Jman Posted November 20, 2020 Author Posted November 20, 2020 Between this and Onyx Equinox, I really want to know what the hell CR is thinking. You might as well start every meeting of their originals staff with this - Quote
Hidden Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 its too late for me to be looking at threads like this this is too funny. Quote

The animation was janky but I love Berserk so I think it did a good job of conveying one of the storylines. Quote

Only thing that matters is bottom line. Would not be surprised to learnr underpaid animators intentionally sabotaged this project but CR just does not care. Quote

A hand-drawn character not ONLY standing NEXT to a CGI character, but TOUCHING his outlines, as if the stark contrast wasn't evident enough! Also, .... wait, this show has hand-drawn characters!!? I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY CGI! Quote
Jman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 First episode is out today. It may single handedly kill the CR originals line. Quote
3ngag3 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 ANN rightfully ripped this show a new one. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2021/winter/ex-arm/.167965 3 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Nick's "10 out of 5" review was gold, and further proof that he's one of my favorite reviewers on the site whose name isn't Theron Martin. Quote

Blatch Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I'm surprised they brought back the classic "broke the scale" ratings for this one, just like Zac used to do; I figured they retired those when the stars (and corresponding community ratings) were introduced. It's definitely warranted considering how awesomely terrible this show seems to be, but it makes me wonder if they'll do something similar when Redo of Healer drops. 1 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I love that the Broke the Rating Scale scores are back; a very appropriate memoriam to Zac, if I say so. As for Redo of Healer, I expect them to keep scores regular, but I won't be surprised if they pull an EX-ARM with it too. I'll laugh if Lynzee makes this her only preview write-up just to shame everyone out of watching it (and fail). Quote

PokeNirvash Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Indeed. The Macross franchise rundown from last week was very good, something I'm sure ANN has been wanting to do if not for Harmony Gold being stingy about the rights. Though I feel like this week's review, plus that one deviation for episode 3's, were designed that way to let the less sarcastically-inclined know that Nick does dislike EX-ARM and his reviews shouldn't be taken seriously. You'd be surprised how many people don't understand satire. Quote
Daos Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 You guys are being way too hard on this show, It looks good for an anime that came out in 2002. 1 Quote
mochi Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 so this is happening but Crunchyroll is locking that magical girl cartoon away like it's the Mummy's curse Quote

Chapinator_X Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 At this point, Ex-Arm could be used to soften the blow from High Guardian Spice. Like “You all got angry about this, but hey, at least your eyes don’t bleed.” Or “Now that your eyes have been destroyed, here’s a flash cartoon that couldn’t possibly cause any more retinal damage.” Quote
