PROMARE is So Dumb and I Love It

[@ReturningSunn]

Not sorry for the floating Shinoa heads. Copyright has been on my ASS these last few videos !!!

[@Kataklyzm510]

I love how paper thin the plot can be at times, I'm not bashing it in the slightest but i think trigger made promare just as an excuse to flex as hard as they possibly could with the animations and i fucking love it

[@akoda8887]

Flexing the animation AND the soundtrack. I've been recently reminded that Kakusei is a thing and now it hasn't left my brain in the last week.

[@FoxGamingWoah]

I will always love Promare. It’s not perfect, but it’s got a lot of heart with scenes that still give me goosebumps on rewatch. It’s so full of animation and passion, I can’t help but love it

[@slyphwing]

This studio really knows what it’s doing when it comes to animation, they 100% need to work on their storytelling though.

[@strvmpet]

Like in the story, there's that metaphor about the burnish being a standin for gay people in ww2 (it's pretty on the nose with symbolism, eg pink triangles) but honestly i dont get why people care so much about that haha. The movie is mainly there for the spectacle, the characters arent really the main focus, they're just there to allow the conflict to occur

[@Lukashaaa]

I’m really glad that you mentioned that!! I absolutely love the message the film has about the anger that many minority groups feel in the face of oppression, and how that anger is justified and often necessary despite how it’s vilified by news outlets and politicians.

[@annafilippetti3446]

I watched it yesterday mainly because I was interested in the animation, and gosh I can't believe we thought exactly the same about it: it's absurd and idiot and it knows it, you can be too mad at it, I too end up laughing in the most cringe and over the top scene, like when they throw fist at the EARTH, LIKE WTF THAT'S HILARIOUS!! XD I gave it a 7/10 so again, pretty much agree uwu

[@brianmatthew2290]

I lost it when it announced 'dues ex machina!' after it obviously does a deus ex machina.

[@Mysticleo42]

This movie is my favorite ADHD movie, that I feel is the only way to explain it, an ADHD satisfying movie 😁

[@Enderaan]

I just watched Promare the other day, too. What surprised me is that it took this long, considering that Trigger is also one of my favorite studios. Promare wears a lot of its inspirations from one of Trigger's own older shows, Gurren Lagann, on its nose and I love it for that. Speaking of which, it seems like you haven't watched Gurren lagann? You mentioned that you're not much of a mecha fan and that's understandable, but if you liked Promare, and Trigger is your favorite studio, then you should definitely give Gurren Lagann a chance. I can't express just how good Gurren Lagann is. It definitely didn't have the budget necessary to look as good as Promare does, but it still has an excellent visual style all on its own, and I think the story and themes are some of the best in the industry. The second movie, Lagann-hen, is a particularly beautiful anime in HD. I hope you'll check it out.

[@Enderaan]

I just want to update and clarify this comment because I just remembered that Gurren Lagann is not technically a Trigger show. It was produced by Gainax, however, Trigger was formed from members of Gainax, and is now basically a successor to that studio.

[@nameerav.g1395]

I don't care about the plot but i fucking love this movie it's one of those movies you can just grab a pop corn and have fun watching it with friends and not think about oh what the hell is going on it's like a mind fresher. Amazing visuals and the music I'm surprised this guy didn't talk about the music good god all of the music omg it's a banger

[@treyhalo]

WE HAVE ARRIVEDDDD, AND IM HERE FOR THE TRIGGER PROPAGANDA

[@ReturningSunn]

YESSIRRRRRR 🙌

[@Lukashaaa]

Promare does actually have a very interesting and deep story, but it’s told through subtext, so unless you have a keen eye & ear it really takes a backseat to everything else in the film (not that that’s a bad thing!!)

[@HaydrogenBomb]

6:20 I completely agree. Making the literal "Deus ex Machina" as in-your-face as it was honestly made it work.

[@melaor2104]

God this movie is so goofy and I love it. Favourite anime of all time tbh

[@EvelynL.1112]

3:25-6:00 Aina is waifu. Glad to see someone loves her too!

[@ReturningSunn]

She’s amazing!

[@EvelynL.1112]

@@ReturningSunn I wish she and her relationship with her older sister got more screentime though.

[@EvelynL.1112]

@@ReturningSunn What problems do you have with Galo other than the "generic" and "one-note" stuff?

[@ReturningSunn]

@@EvelynL.1112 I like Galo! I might not have worded it the best, but I do like him! Just not as much as Lio, who I thought was a lot more interesting to be on-screen with. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like Galo, he was fun and endearing

[@EvelynL.1112]

​@@ReturningSunn Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing things up.

[@hairlessgrizzly559]

Promare is just pure unfiltered Studio Trigger essence, poured into a fairly basic vanilla cake batter, with vanilla buttercream, covered in the most beautiful neon blue and pink/green frosting with a giant cool as fuck toy robot on top

[@sinfulsuave]

hey man love the vids whenever you upload my genitals tingle (am i weird? sorry) i just can’t help myself! anyways i just wanted to let you know that i’ve had it with you because you haven’t done the comethazine bawskee album review and i’m beginning to get super angry( you don’t want to see me when i’m angry) anywho love the vids again but next time i’m warning you. also do you do video recommendations? i was hoping you could do a your lie in april VS BAKI power scaling video? thanks little buddy!

[@ReturningSunn]

😭

[@phengooogaming]

Trigger was made to do futuristic robotic animes like Cyberpunk Edgerunners or Gurren Lagann (i think Trigger formed from members from studio that did Gurren Lagann) not loli witches doing magic shit.

[@Evelyn-ve2lg]

I'm like a year late to this video but I just noticed this tonight on like my 6th rewatch of the movie, but they actually reveal the deus ex machina guy right at the start during the montage of the burnished showing up. He's only in it for like 5 seconds with a reporter saying something about "interviewing UN-Appointed Professor Prometh who states that oppression of the burnished may lead to concurrent blazes worldwide" while he's in the studio. It doesn't really get noticed because it's an off-handed comment at the start, but it is an interesting thing thing to see on a rewatch!

[@TheSmileMile]

The movie is complexly stupid, which is what makes in so genius. Like, yeah, people noticed the "Deus Ex Machina" bit, but there are so many layers! Dr. Deus Prometh is both a Figurative AND Literal Deus Ex Machina. He shows up out of nowhere to solve the plot (figurative) and his Name is Deus, and his consciousness was backed up onto a computer, i.e. he comes from a machine (literal.) He then presents Lio and Galo with the complete inverse, a Literal AND Figurative Deus Ex Machina, first, it being it's actual name (literal) and then later, to solve the issue with the Promare, Galo enters the Promatech engine so that his firefighting spirit can stand in for the healing factor of the Burnish, a function that nobody had considered until that last moment (figurative.)

[@ImChristain]

I legit thought the character with the yellow hair was a female 😂😂😂 Guess I have to watch this too

[@Judefluff525]

same here lmao

[@lyleschlegel3184]

Whenever I recommend this movie I just describe it like “an anime studio made this after watching all of Michael Bay’s films”

[@mitchrobinson4285]

Am I the only person who saw the trans subtext. Like in some ways there are two movies going on. The fun dumb action fillm with the meta jokes sprinkled in, but I think underneath alot of those dialogue issues he talks about make more sense when you see the subtext. The whole thing about how the burnish have this inner nature that they can't simply push down and hide? The over the top masculinity of Galo v the slight effeminate Lio , literally comping together to pilot a pink and blue mecha?

[@rullocompressore1550]

You could watch Gurren Lagann, is done by the same team that created Trigger when it was part of an old studio, and Promare makes quite a few references to it

[@fake_robin9045]

I reminds me of gurren laggan mixed with fire force

[@strawhatjosh5691]

YEAHHHHH

[@ReturningSunn]

Josh.

[@myniko]

Promare: the metal gear rising of anime and god bless it for it! It even got the *kinda* gay duo thing

[@phya9324]

People would point to a later part of the movie for this, but it's actually the scene with Aina that is the set up. It goes through the stereotypical romance tropes and at the touching moment literally drops it all for Leo. Like that for either way it isn't really touched upon further and just lets the silly robot movie be a silly robot movie.

[@myniko]

@@phya9324 it both queer baits and straight baits and I love it for it

[@alucard347]

Nice!

[@adolfopaezdiaz4371]

Sorry but no, Promare is the ultimate example of style over substance

[@HaydrogenBomb]

Complete agree.

[@MatthewChestnut-c9g]

Leo is the only good character in this trash movie

[@EvelynL.1112]

EXPLAIN WHY.

[@MatthewChestnut-c9g]

The main characters acting is pretty cringe 😬

[@MatthewChestnut-c9g]

Besides what were the screenwriters fucking doing when writing this movie 😡

[@MatthewChestnut-c9g]

I just got done watching promare and it is so bad and boring there are to many action sequences that I was begging for it to please stop promare is a bad movie 😩
