I'm telling you guys right now, this is the future of the shows, artists deserve to have their creative freedom, and indie projects are a key to that. I'm already invested in the plot, keep it up!

That inclusion is how you know this is woke trash. I can see the check boxes being ticked as the pilot aired. And it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so insultingly bland. I've seen this all done before and better. There was nothing to hook me in. Dialogue is bland. Lore dump exposition is awful. Setting is generic horror on da sea totally not cuthulu mythos at home. And the protagonists are literally not interesting, completely smooth no edge no nothing. I swear to god I've already seen this episode done in another cartoon already. Give me something, anything to remember this as unique. People's taste in art has fallen into the fucking gutter. Why is it every show now needs to be this bland appeals to everyone made for nobody sludge? Being corporate goo of a show is not an aspirational goal. It is a failure of creativity, which is exactly what this pilot succeeded in becoming.

The climax and ending were wholesome and a great subversion of the roles Port and Umi had up until that point. The whole crew should be proud of such a magnificent pilot!

I love how "show don't tell" this is with how it implies that the kids broke the moon and foreshadows that "ankle" is the titan. Umi (海) is Japanese for "sea" so the name of the show is referring to the 2 characters. 18:13 Japanese text are the English words "miracle musical" transliterated. I also really appreciate the "hard of hearing" type subtitles. My hearing isn't that bad (but it also isn't the best).

I might be dumb, but how is it implied that the kids broke the moon? And how is Ankle implied to be the Ocean titan?

It would explain why the kids are collecting the shards and somehow have a moon shard compass. 12:08 Ankle "knows everything about Bonnie" (which turns out to be moon shard related) and he's briefly shown to have suspicious tassels and a magical/evil sounding voice. We never actually see ankle (except his hair) but his form (especially the tassels) is similar to the 4th titan (Tiamat) shown at 0:21 His entire graveyard scene and 16:26 gives off the impression that he's much more powerful than he's letting on

First episode and I already have a theory, if you look at 0:47 you can see that the shape of two of thw titan's horns eerily coincide with the shape of protagonists' hair. So I propose the theory that the protagonists are some kind of reincarnation/avatar/something of the titans.

DISM; that song fills me with so much dread, but here dream sweet in sea major actually feels nice, welcoming even And that ending song is FANTASTIC! It's so melodic and sweet. The end credit slides too are a welcome sight. Hope we see more of this beautifully curated world! I'm hooked!

@the_dexman 2 ай бұрын

have you listened to the entirety of Hawaii part ii? It's not dream sweet playing in the end, it's the first song, Introduction to the Snow. It's much slower and more contemplative as opposed to Dream Sweet's quick and foreboding introduction, which is probably why it feels welcoming. It's the opening song after all.
