This show is less sexually deviant than Card Captor Sakura.

Goh literally had to die before he got better at communicating with his wife. Really, dude's pretty low-tier as far as husbandos are concerned.

I personally do maintain that this show had a bit of "Sunrise Season Syndrome". Not a lot, but a little. First half to me is honestly 10/10, just fucking insanely high energy with great characters, great moments, drama that feels raw, even a little bit of horror, etc. Then the second season just loses the energy. Bits meander on a bit (did the whole Goh and Anna separation arc need to be like 3 episodes or whatever it felt like?), and the ending feels like they didn't literally know what to do with two major characters (Lou and Mira).
Still, was really good. Just feel like it could have been one of my all time favorites if it just kept up a little bit of the first seasons energy.

I hated the main leads maybe it actually gets better near the end of season 2 but I dropped it early into said season when the character Goh had consistently been show to actually love and not the female lead came back from the dead and our two leads were still trying to make their toxic failed marriage work, I just could not stand a pair of leads who seem to actively hate each other in a toxic marriage that neither want to end for reasons outside of their general distain for the other member of it.

>romance triangle is handled extremely poorly,
Because it wasn't a triangle you tit. Goh felt weird that Mira was back but he was always committed to Anna. He just felt guilty now that she was alive and retarded. And no, Shizuru having a crush on him in the past doesn't make it a triangle either when he gets married in the first fucking episode. Frankly the show is great because it DIDN'T have him get wishy washy in a triangle.

I'm afraid I can't give specifics since it's been nearly half a decade since I watched it, but I remember constant bickering aligned with the show constantly showing Goh was not past his previous dead lover but still wanting to be with Anna for reasons I felt were beyond any love of her and Anna putting up with this loveless marriage for her own reasons mostly spitting her mother and wanting to prove the various people who either said it wouldn't work out or that it's just fine that's it not wrong.
I might personally be more sensitive to the discord in their marriage since it actively reminded me of my own parents failing marriage where the two seemingly mostly hate each other but refuse to get a divorce for various reasons.

Shocker.

He guess what? You remember wrong. Also I imagine you're single.

Anon is over exaggerating, the yuri pair was very unoffensive and was just one part of each international team sharing a certain type of fetish in their pairing. Also, the ending was fine and not that rushed.

>>23738433
You sound like you have a combination of:
1) not being able to handle a married couple having arguments EVER. The ones in Godannar are very soft and light and mostly resolved in a gentle way. News flash: people who live together will get on eachother's nerves and have disagreements once in a while, that's being human. What we see in the show, gentle wholesome arguments based around real legitimate problems that get resolved quickly and lovingly is unironically the best you can hope for in any kind of relationship.
2) not remembering the show fucking-at-all. Maybe watch it again before spewing bullshit lmao. Goh is not longing for Mira, he displays no real desire or wistfullness for their relationship. He feels GUILTY because he's essentially unintentionally abandoned her after she seemingly fucking died and became a vegetable.

It's mostly surface level, but knowing Kimura, these would've been explored more if this were a Hentai then an Ecchi anime.

I mean when you get down to it, Anna is the stronger character by a mile. She's the one who saves Goh in the end. She's the one with the stronger arc. Then you have Shizuru off to the side in season 2 pushing development of the second Okser, fighting on the front lines of battle, training Shinobu and all this while missing at least HALF of her blood. You can look at all the cheesecake and be dismissive but the female characters are probably stronger than anything with less eye candy

>>23752052
Yup, pretty important. It isn't that males are weak or females are dependent, or vice versa. It's about why we as a species require the two sexes to unite for the good of our race and the planet.
Godannar itself is a representation of Adam, who NEEDs Eve (his rib) to be complete.
Men and women are sibligns, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, friends and lovers.
Isn't just a sex thing. All of humanity needs one another, all the countries must unite to save the world

The filters are ass. It'd probably look better if you just took the source and blew it up.

im working on a torrent of the USA DVD (i can found better ones) but remplazing the shitty ED is too laborious.
Even so i recommend downloading the DVD ISOs form Archive.org over watching the shit-ass BD upscale, kudos to the guy who stylized and re-synced the subs tho.

as i said, ESRGAN, the only IA model that jews doesnt want to sell you (cuz is the only useful one).
to not go off topic, is the same tecnology behind the french Dragon ball blu ray (https://youtu.be/mlGY8u9PbwI?si=Dt_EiAyQcx55BOOa),
if you are interested, check out upscale.wiki
>>23755666
decent, i haven’t really check out too much, but some really look like the ugly James Cameron's remasters, some look others are small upgrades, if we are talking about "good" sources anyway. Where it shines is removing visual artifacts.

then, goddanar, symphogear and hyakkano are the exception.
Even back then Bubblegum crisis, gunbuster, dangaioh and other OVA were relatively heavy on fan-service (not in same way as a proper ecchi shows of course), same with EVA
