GR Anime Review: Psychic School Wars
Фильм және анимация
Now some might think that this does not qualify as "Awful" necessary. And before watching it I would have agreed with you. However, once @RBKapoor1 suggested that I watch it, I couldn't help but agree with him that this needed to be here.

Because SAO wouldn't really be that bad if it didn't have a bland & nerdy power fantasy chick magnet main character for the audience to project themselves on... If Kirito just had any kind of personality the show could be quite good.

well yes, cuz the author already explained that it was his premature work. Which is why he is making SAO: progressive, basically a revamped version of the premature SAO, where it properly focuses on sequence of events and proper character development. In short, it is a better revised version of the first series and novel we saw
Okay the SAO thing got me

i have seen this and this is my take. this is a movie that should have been a anime series. theres alot that is half way or not explained at all. they also go against what they have said a few times in this movie but... the overall story is worth watching. it is something that needs a reboot badly. another movie or a series wont help what they have done allready. i do think this is a watch just so you can see if its awfull or just a meh.

I agree. I constantly felt like I was missing half the story here. I kept wishing there was a Manga or prequel movie or something so I could have context for the story, because the first half was excellent. But it feels like everything just de rails in the third act and I ended up really confused by what was going on. Given more time, like with a show, I feel the core concepts and the subtext could have been better explained and the intentions this movie conveyed only partially could have had more attention. For example: the idea that cell phones are dangerous to the time travelers because pictures or texts could create a time paradox is brilliant, but the way this movie goes about conveying that makes it seem like the idea is actually that "cell phones are evil" when in fact the subtext was the complete opposite. Students who opposed the new rule had to be eradicated for the safety of the psychics. You can see this happen when the student council suddenly becomes more aggressive about the rule, to the point that one of the council members that isn't psychic loudly argues against such drastic measures and then suddenly moves away right after. To be honest, a 12 episode anime version that better fleshed out the concepts and fixed the messy direction could have been incredible, it's just a shame that it had to be so poorly condensed and that the visual storytelling is so sloppy.
Arcadia needs to put a list of songs he uses in videos in the description. I want to find a lot of these.

My guess is that this film was made as a resume for the animation studio. Something they can show to potential clients as demonstration of their abilities. Not to actually tell a story.

I remember watching this movie a while back and forgot completely what it was about. I assumed it was a show about a time traveler stealing people and it was up to our reluctant heroes to save the day. But, then that bratty girl shows up to woo the time traveler and he had no personality and then things just happened.. IT WAS ABOUT PHONES?
Anyone knows the 2nd anime he suggested? I can't find it by hearing him say it alone. 'Ganshimen Krouts'?? Would love to know.
So, as soon as you mentioned the "Cell Phones are Bad" thing, my brain immediately went "Is this an anime movie that's a recruitment effort for a cult, like Happy Science, or made because the director joined a Cult, like what happened with Earth Maiden Arjuna?" Unfortunately, I can't find anything to answer this question. Which is a shame, because while the film appears to have some dramatic thematic issues, it is definitely pretty. EDIT: Also, the Japanese title translates as "Awakened School", which makes me think that the English Title of "Psychic School Wars" was chosen because that's what the Marketing Department told them would sell. (The same reason while the Marvel Comics event "Secret Wars" was called "Secret Wars").

Alexander Case, Yeah, often I face palm at the English titles that sometimes get chosen solely for the marketing. Then there are title translations that are just so lazy they loose the original meaning. I'd list off some examples, but I didn't bother remembering any of them.

What's the song at 7.35? I've always heard it but I never knew the name 😅
I really wanted to like this movie tbh. But I just can't. The longer I watch, the shittier it gets. I wanted like the romance but one is too cliche and the other one is... I don't get their relationship tbh. I wanted to like the plot but... "yeah, plot? Bish where? Oh those plots? Which one tho?" I wanted to like the animation but it really felt like the animation doesn't fit. Welp, I should've stopped watching after the first 2 mins of the movie cause that scene got me excited atleast. My first thought was..."orayt they're gonna be best bros and then like each other then get married" xD

Arkada, I think your music choices are very appropriate for topics you talk about in any part of this video. I like them all. Could anyone please identify these songs for me? 6:45 I've heard that in a comedy somewhere, 4:55, 5:45 sounds mysterious, 7:37 is from a Makoto Skinkai film based on the music style and context of Arkada's speech at that time (I know he's a director not a composer but I still associate that music with him), 8:45, 9:27
7:33 that music... instant memories.
It looks utterly beautiful, but I mean after this review I think I'll do better things with my time.
This is the funniest you have ever been! Please consider making this an yearly thing.
These videos have been really good. You can feel how much effort you've been putting into them.

The main thing I wanted to hear in this vid is why did the movie end like that
OMG. Is that the same music I kept hearing in the evil within 2?
I totally forgot about the cellphone plot of this movie. I remembered the time time traveling BS
I remember when I decided to watch this movie hoping for nice visuals and I wasn't disappointed. Didn't really expect it to end up in a list of "awful" anime...

That SAO thing you came up with was just too accurate.
finally someone like GR said to watch gatchaman crowds! I love that series & s3 need to happen!
This would be a lot better if there were actual psychic school wars because going by some of these clips here, these guys have some serious animating chops. Also, Gatchaman Crowds is tops because Hajime is love.
