It was mostly all pretty usual robot-stuff up till episode 5. Never really thought about such a thing happening since realistic humanoid-AI are so far from our current time but it's an interesting thing to see. Of course people would do that sort of unethical stuff if they could, just make an ideal version of someone you like.
Alright I watched the final episode, what was that at the end about an upcoming special episode? Something about planning a secret party? I'm in for watching it when it releases.
I LOVE this show. Such chemistry and tension every episode. Sometimes seeing the scary cliffhangers is almost unbearable. Also, the candy/sweets they make are incredibly detailed and beautiful.
Pretty sure it is! Unfortunate that I don't speak a lot of Mandarin so I'll have to wait for fansubs to happen someday. Might be faster to learn Chinese though
As an LGBTQ person your comment makes me uncomfortable on so many levels. I really think you should educate yourself…
This comment thread went very wild. I think ''I W'' had good intentions but took the social justice warrior aspect a bit far. Technically you can find offense in everything, a normal conversation without making personal assumptions is usually best to resolve things.
Yea some people prefer not to hear stereotypical words like top/bottom or seme/uke but currently these sorts of terms are still used by a lot of members of the gay community. I think its okay to voice an opinion about that but to immediately make assumptions like homophobia is a bit much. It's also not like the terms will disappear anytime soon, its used by so many people.
Also, I agree ElektrionHeart that some experiences are unique to specific groups of people. It's good to understand that while we may have assumptions or ideas... The experiences of real members of a community/gender are often so much more telling. I hope you still feel comfortable on this platform.
If you aren't sure whether the story is gonna be interesting enough to watch I recommend watching Episode 12. It is where the story really picks up in interesting plot twists, the first episodes are mainly focused on fleshing out the main heroes characters.
The show can be childish and there is obviously a focus on the toy-aspect with the designs of the giant gem-machines but they have fun with it. The show-writers know how to build hype (the music is so good for this) and they've created an interesting backstory. You really learn to appreciate the fun fight scenes and their flashy fight-moves. The humor is also often on point like how the weekly monsters capture people in funny ways or just absurd situations.
So the basic story is about an alien gem-civilization with gem-people (they look like gem statues) who use magical gemstones. Their civilization is lost due to a conflict and evil gem-people rise up. The gem-princess flees to earth and acquires the help of the heroes who can transform the magical gemstones. This war has had its casualties and there are many problems to solve. When the final hero arrives a lot more information is given about the gem-war, mostly because he himself was involved.
I guess the show reminded me most of ''Steven Universe'' in regards to the gem-aliens story. I wouldn't be surprised if they took inspiration from that cartoon.
This comment has made me want to go back and give this series another chance.
Definitely recommend you do! Let me try to summarise my experience.
So I had watched Episode 1 but wasn't big into it. I thought the gem-princess was unique but didn't think they would invest a lot of effort into the backstory. However, I kept seeing the episodes pop up so when Episode 12 appeared I watched it.
Let me tell you, if Episode 12 doesn't get you hyped to watch the rest nothing will. That fight scene with meteorite-monster is also something else. I have never seen someone obliterate meteorites with a drill and laserbeam someone into a very explosive death while striking a cool pose. You can probably even skip the first 11 Episodes if you just know the basics that the heroes are fighting with a gem-princess of a fallen gem-kingdom with the help of magical gemstones. Their enemy is of course the evil gemstone-people. This episode introduces the last hero character and it starts really giving away a lot more story of the gem-war and the results of that war.
So if you aren't sure about this series just try Episode 12 I guess. It made me intrigued enough to watch the rest.
Can't believe I'm the first comment here in 3 years. It's a really fun drama with a solid storyline, definitely recommended! Also, features the faraway year of 2021 xD
