And the thing about this movie is that it has a LOT to be compared to. The mecha genre has a huge fanbase. Shows like Gundam and Evangelion gave this movie a lot to prove, and I think it did just that.
On the contrary, it reminded me that you should enjoy a movie for what it is and not what people say it should be. Many moviegoers these days criticize original action/sci-fi/adventure movies because "it wasn't as good as The Avengers/Star Trek/The Hobbit." This movie was a good change of pace compared to the rehashed blockbuster hits we get each year.

then saw that nobody was on #meow
then subsequently exited #meow and saw that i could see #pokebeach and apparently wasn't banned
then proceeded to chat
