Last week I got together with Patz from Insert Disc and Carl from Ogiue Maniax to record an episode of Podlabor that had been anticipated for a while. Where in we gush about Brave Police J-Decker, a giant robot show from the early 90’s that we all just recently watched to completion. I had talked about it a little on the blog, but this recording was way more fun! Check out the podcast, check out J-Decker, they are both a good time!
So we did a little podcast with Patz over on Insert Disc along with Elliot from Ani-Gamers. We dive right into a high-level Star Driver discussion so even if you don’t care about spoilers, it probably all sounds like nonsense unless you’ve seen the show. Whoops! But before that you can hear us discuss streaming anime, Crunchyroll’s new news initiative, and a few other things.
CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MOVIES 1, 2, and 3
A promise was made and kept. We were promised more large army mecha battles where squadrons of Golems clash on the battle field as opposed to the mostly small unit tactics in the first three movies. This movie is a bookend to the third in the fact that while it has a little more plot it contains an equal amount of action broke up into a series of smaller fights. We also get a good deal more bloodshed with named characters dying on both sides. If there was any doubt that this was a war it was dispelled by this movie.
The last film ended at an odd point making watching the 4th movie in quick succession all the more crucial. We are in the middle of the films so now we are seeing the fruition of things talked about in previous movies. However, this film makes it all the more clear that this story probably won’t wrap up by the end of movie 6.
