Mix Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've actually completely forgotten what it was about. Is it worth watching or should I just read the plot and call it a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just watch it, and avoid anything beyond the TV series at all costs, especially AO. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 For whatever reason I wasn't into it on the first run it had on AS, but when Toonami merged with AS and they brought it back I gave it another chance and I liked it a lot.

I hated it when it was on [adult swim] mostly because I was in full “Fuck Adult Swim Action” mode at the time. I ended up watching it on Hulu years later and quite enjoyed the original series. Unfortunately everything after the original series is a sliding scale of missing the point and lowered quality. Basically the FLCL sequels, but somehow worse (so far anyway). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I wound up watching it in out-of-sequence fragments because of how infrequently it was re-aired on Adult Swim. I did see AO, but there were diminishing returns from constantly trying to revisit an otherwise charming surfing mecha anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'll echo everything else said about "watch the original and skip everything else". Also the manga is really good. Definitely darker and more brutal than the anime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The original series is a fantastic coming-of-age romance story that just so happens to feature kickass sky-surfing robots. Fortunately it was complete as-is and no one ever had the asinine idea to tarnish its legacy with increasingly-awful spinoffs and "sequels" and lord knows what else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 For what it's worth, I never had the same problems with AO that others do, even concerning the finale. (The OVA, on the other hand, is a whole different story.) But the majority opinion does agree that AO, Pocket Full of Rainbows, and Hi-Evolution are unnecessary at best and godawful at worst, so it's best to keep that in mind when watching the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The only episode I ever saw was the finale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
