Anime To Watch If You Are Disappointed In Game of Thrones | Glass Reflection

[@GlassReflection]

Oh hey! What's with the audio cutting out around 2:09 a a few seconds? We call that a result of a copyright claim! I was an idiot and thought I could get away with 5 seconds of the Game of Thrones main theme. I could not. Apologies.

Nice video. One small caveat I would add is that series like Berserk, Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War, and saga of tanya the evil to a lesser extent, use a more European flavored fantasy world in line with Game of Thrones Westoros. Most anime(Twelve Kingdoms, Legend of Arslan) use a Eastern style fantasy setting.

[@miguelcano1717]

Berserk fans kinda suck tbh. It's unfortunate because I really like the series. 2016/17 isn't that bad, anime fans just have a weird hate boner for *any* CGI, which is weird because Japanese fans do not feel the same way. The animation isn't what I would want, but it's not so bad that it straight up ruins the show, not when the VAs are great, the music is great, and the adaptation is otherwise faithful. Berserk fans are also absolutely awful when it comes to white knighting for Miura, his hiatuses, and the general decline in quality of his manga.

For me, it's Legend of Galactic Heroes, Berserk (1997), Record of Lodoss War, Morbito: Guardian of the Spirit, Vision of Escaflowne, and Aura Battler Dunbine. If it's political ideology, Mobile Suit Gundam (original series or Trilogy films) and the majority of the UC Timeline, but more specifically Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. I kinda want to recommend Super Dimension Fortress Macross due to having different ideas including the idea of whether one should fight as a soldier or whether one should adapt into a new culture, with mecha jets and romance. If you like Macross, Macross Plus is a wonderful OVA. Also Android Kikaider The Animation and its sequel OVA Kikaider 01 due to the philosophy of what it means to be human is very dark at times and it's not too long. If you can suspend your disbelief and not mind old animation, then the 1979 film Galaxy Express 999 would be a good choice since the character develops his own ideology as he travels and there are a little dark stuff in it.

[@WarHawk215]

Calvary is an anti-infantry unit so there's logic in sending them against some undead boys with knives. And if you remember the saying to never face a dathraki on an open because they've never been defeated that way. But if you take away their horses they're much weaker, it wasn't dark because their swords were on fire, and cavalry units are capable of retreating after an engage. Also they couldn't have everyone fighting inside the castle because it's far too small. So while season 8 was rushed and sucked that wasn't a completely irrational thing to do.

[@OverlordZephyros]

@@WarHawk215 i would have put them at the sides or behind the castle, the unsullied and soldiers behind the barricades and artillery behind the walls... That way when the zombie horde hits the barricade the calvary hits them from the sides, the artillery from above and the unsullied on the front while having some rushing protection and able to have a clean escape to the castle while providing multi layer protection. This way they can last longer or maybe win. Also there were few archers on the towers... That could have helped a lot to have more of them

[@WarHawk215]

@@OverlordZephyros The white walkers were supposed to win anyway but I agree if they had showed them being more strategical and maybe did what you said and destroy a wave of white walkers to give the viewers hope. But then show a 2nd wave of white walkers much bigger than the last rushing them and starting to overwhelm them. THEN bring out the dragons, it would have made for a more impactful scene showing that even if their armies and men are stronger there's just way too many walkers. It also would have made our main characters seem less like the avengers when they were sitting on top of a corpse pile. Instead they decided to be lazy and be more dramatic with the whole Melisandre scene.

Also i really dont understand why people dont want guts to team up with others. I mean yes he is a one man army but he really cant protect casca and break through his brand & fate alone. He needs people who he can leave his back to protect. Guts is now more broken physically and mentally than he ever was. Meanwhile Griffith has a whole army at his disposal. The last few arcs is showing guts trying to change his ways because the way he was only bought tragedy to him and those around him. This shows in even the starting chapters of berserk. Everything bad happened directly or indirectly because of guts actions. This is where his team comes in. Yes they are weaker than him therefore now he doesn't rush into a fight without thinking. He is at the point where he doesnt consider them a drag to deal with but a family to protect. The band of hawks was guts family before Eclipse where he couldn't protect anyone. Now he once again has people he can consider family. The way i see it is a test for guts to try and protect his family once again faced against impossibly strong foes. Guts is physically strong enough to change the course of history but now he has to be mentally and emotionally strong to fight while protecting. So yeah berserk is anything but generic

There's a big difference: Daenerys was an extremely passive character, things happened TO her. Griffith was a complete nobody and knew perfectly well what he was doing since the beginning, he didn't "become" crazy. This makes him a much more compelling character. Also downright fucking creepy on a second viewing/read. And even on the first one you can tell he knows something no one else does, like there must be a reason he's so weirdly confident and positive, he has no dragons or birthrights, but he has SOMETHING. He doesn't tell anyone what it is, but I love the characters see it the same way the audience does and follow him for that reason. Man, Berserk is so fucking good.
