Just finished watching the whole show. A couple plot points were really dumb, which is unfortunate because there are only 6 episodes so it was being dumb at least 1/3 of the time. The most impressive part to me was that it didn't look like ass despite being 100% 3d-rendered. Certainly not the worst thing I've ever seen, but I won't be recommending it to people either.

Another Netflix genius move with dropping 6 episodes at once....

And I had just defended them! I'm disappointed Netflix...

If you want a discussion thread for any of the other episodes, just let me know.

The preview looks like videogame cutscenes. I'm leaning towards skipping this one.

But trying to fight the RX-78 from the Zeon POV does sound vaguely interesting.

I hope this comment reaches you in time. Don't watch this, it's absolute rubbish.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks, I wasn't really planning on watching it anyway.

[–] Unboxious@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Maybe in the future for shows like this that are dropped all at once a discussion thread for the whole show instead of individual episodes would make sense. I guess most shows are too long to watch in one sitting though, unlike this one.

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not a bad idea, but I just don't know of a good way yet to catch these shows before it happens. I can't keep track of every show in my head to know which ones are getting a batch release, and the AniList api doesn't flag them in any way. I might try exploring some alternative apis to see what they are like, but it's a nontrivial thing to swap out the backend of the bot.

I know that the reddit bot, holo, does some parsing of nyaa where it tries to match up torrent filenames to show titles to figure out which episodes have released. I might take a look at how that is implemented since rikka started out as a modified version of holo.

[–] Unboxious@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Does the anilist api give you the release date of individual episodes? If so you could do a check to see if they're all the same day. Or is that what you were getting at when talking about parsing nyaa?

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

The AniList api only lists a release time for the first episode of a batch. So, for something like this series, episode 1 would have a release time listed (and get picked up by the bot), but episodes 2+ just don't have any airing time and are therefore not picked up by the bot.

I have done some quick searching around and found some other apis that I might play around with (Jikan which queries MAL, and AnimeSchedule.net has an api). I think the ideal scenario would be if a batch release would list all the episodes with the same airing time, and then I could program logic on my end to batch the episodes together into one post (the subreddit makes a series of individual posts, but I don't think we have enough activity to support a deluge of posts like that).

As for nyaa, it is a popular public anime torrent tracker where pretty much any episode that airs gets posted quite soon. So, the main way that holo keeps track of what episodes have aired is that it parses the recent listings on nyaa to see what new torrents have been added.

Yep, typical gundam. I like it.

This animation style (?) isn't the typical anime style, but I liked it too. Looks kind of like a live action show.
