They really hit the ground running on this one. Guess MD really was the canary in the coal mine to establish how this stuff should be paced now that we have a finished show for an example point

The pacing is absolutely fucking breakneck.
But I loved Murder Drones, so I don't mind it. I'm fine with looking back through it again.
Like with MD and TADC's pilot, this pilot is a bit rough in establishing the proper feel of it but it's a fine start and we'll see how it develops and gets bettef as it goes on

I got used to MD's schizophrenic pacing because, it's Liam Vickers of course. But even then, Gaslight confused the absolute fuck out of me and I have to take another couple looks at it.

I don't mind uber fast pacing that much, but I do hope it slows down a LITTLE later on.

That's fine. I feel the same way. It looks good, I can tell people are going to really enjoy it and it'll have a solid following.
Just doesn't poke my autism straight away. Which is understandable since it's only the pilot. Murder Drones didn't infest my braiin until after the pilot episode and more episodes started coming.

It definitely looks a lot better, but the whole hell-heaven theme, good sinners-evil angels, ambiguous main characters and a misunderstood protagonist are look too similar.

And yes, the lack of faggots and stupid gay jokes make GD that much better too.

So based on this, Breadhead isn't any sort of zombler, but some kind of alchemically produced bread homunculus. I pray this leads to a flashback recounting his creation where an early, failed attempt to make a breadmonsterman homunculus-son tries to bite Ken so Ken smashes it with a cookbook.

Nice art! I think I'm gonna enjoy seeing all the fan-made Virtue designs people come up with during the wait for the next episode. I've been autistically collecting them like cards and so far there's 4 Chastity's (including yours), pic related is my favorite design wise.

The show is derivative of typical indie/internet animation themes - the setting and characters aren't that interesting - and neither is the overall plot, with it's trite, sadly mytaken themes.
Yet the main character is quite charming in her own way.

As it stays, this is exact opposite of the feeling I got from Murder Drones pilot.
Mel executes the rebellious teenage girl archtype much better than Uzi, who I only grew to hate more and more as Murder drones' plot advanced. It helps greatly that she is more competant, and her parents/hang-arounds are not hapless jokes.

My lad, have you watched the show? Uzi is an objectively awful as person, even if you assume that she's a base artificial intelligence with no humane thought process.

She is whiny, arrogant and incompetant. Her sole creative feat that demands even base modicum of admiration is the creation of her railgun. Which is horribly faulty device in itself, almost dooming everyone she cares about. Or at least she thinks she cares about.

Who wouldn't even be in danger if it wasn't for her foolish and rash attempt to disturb a relatively safe status quo - which she does out of nothing but vanity and arrogance.

After that, she then completly jumps ship and begins to fraternize with literal, horrible monsters from beyond stars, which have annihilated the burgeoning civilization she belonged and forced them (literally) underground. And that's all before she begins her transformation into a worse monster.

Which is a respectable arc, but the show fails to portray it with gravity it requires.

In surface, Mel is similar character, but the plot forms around her differently. She does suggest similar risky affair as Uzi does, but she doesn't slink behind her (single) parent's back. She is portrayed as an equally competant gangster compared to others.

There is also urgency that the prophecy around her creates, which justifies her attempt. She is also quite evil, but there is no spirit of wallowing pity that lingers around Uzi; Murder drones attempts to build a narrative of justification around uzi, whereas Mel is portrayed in much more sinister and amoral light (even if she's done much less awful things that Uzi).

There is also societal angle; Uzi's world is a bunker of survivors, and as the daughter of foreman, she commands relatively high position. That makes her asocial tendecies and continued antagonising of her father seem much more spoiled. Mel and her squad on the other hand are clearly rogues, and live in openly decrepit and amoral society - where their own criminality seems much less reprehensible.

And to be honest, it helps that Ken is much more capable and assertive character than Khan (even if he's arguably more flawed). And the fact that she doesn't get the at-the-surface competly ideal, yet infallibly loyal bf in form of N.

Of course, this is all just a pilot, and subject to change.

0ilrig, it's over. You were wrong. N isn't a Machiavellian manipulator, he's exactly what he looks like: a simpleton who will do anything as long as he got even a crumb of positive reinforcement out of it. In short, N's a fucking dog.

It is perfectly acceptable to have a plot, where the main protagonist struggles with inner darkness and transformation into something evil.

But as it is, Glitch and Liam Vickers buried it in too much of slapstick and irony that the theme becomes completly disfigured. This, combined with how Nuzi romance was mishandled, leaves the story feel hollow. But you are free to enjoy the exquisite shounen-fights if you want to. I can't take that from you.

>>207946
Ah, when it was just me, 0ilrig and christschizo - and of course the femanons lusting for trve N we briefly saw in pilot. Sadly, none of them persistet after show's ending.

Good times, good times - I was shocked that 0ilrig deleted his Ao3 account.

I agree with everything you said EXCEPT for the femanons not lusting over N anymore, I have seen way too much femanons N fantasy posts, free texts, art, etc etc etc to prove you dead wrong.

Also another point might I add, just because N stopped doing the XD face after the pilot doesn't mean that he suddenly became the robot version of SpongeBob, there are still several points in the show onwards from the pilot where N drops the "Puppy Boy" act, so to speak.
