MakutaOfWar Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Huh, I'm... kind of at war with myself over this. On the one hand it's still got a simple look to it, on the other hand it is more set accurate? It's kind of under my expectations, which is disappointing, but at the same time I'm relieved. I think I'll adjust to it, but I want the storytelling to be more in depth then what we've already got. Edit: At first I thought the title WAS 'Gathering of the Tor', lol. And I think it's growing on me, except Tahu looks kind of small, and the smoothness of Onua's shoulder armor is bothering me, but Gali looks pretty damn fine.

GK733 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) The Graphic Novel is not the only thing today: Are those crystalthings on the left side the new add-on? Edited October 5, 2015 by GK733 Quote

Would had liked some obscure teaser of Umarak rising in the forest at least or something... more than just those armor parts. Quote
Logan McOwen Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Graphic Novel NICE. Very happy that the art style isn't too dissimilar to the aesthetic of the toys, as that was one thing I was really afraid of happening. Episode 18 Reveal hidden contents I'm having to watch it without sound at the minute, but good lord is Kulta OP. I'm still not too keen on the mouths under the Toa's masks, that feels very un-Bionicle, but I guess we won't see them much anyway. Tahu standing up to Kulta was great, and Ekimu restoring his power and regaining his mask was awesome. Really liked how the rust and grime flaked off as he ran at Kulta. Love that ending shot with Toa. Quote

I want to read it now, but I like having my comic books in physical form. Quote

And under that, there is a carving of Tahu with Ikir on his back!!! I wonder what the symbols on the right are, though. The Creature's heads, perhaps? Quote

TwistLaw Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT I FREAKING KNEW IT SINCE WE FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT Reveal hidden contents the golden masks at the end of the book were just the 2015 ones remade exactly as they looked And in general today is a perfect day to be hyped. Can't wait to grab that graphic novel, looks gorgeous! Quote
Shakar Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Nobody mentioned it so I'll do it: I really liked that the whole first part of the episode used no music at all. It really highlighted the sense of hopelessness the Toa were feeling. Sometimes, silence is much more powerful than any song or theme. Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Reveal hidden contents That ending was a bit... Eh... Lackluster? Rushed? Not enough? ... Is Skull Grinder dead? Still, Skull Grinder is awesome and I loved him. Great villain from what we've got. Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 It's interesting that this almost, but not quite, follows the book. If nothing else, the precise method of Grinder's defeat is different: Reveal hidden contents Ekimu shoots the MoC off, as opposed to hitting it. Also, that teaser-carving. NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD! Quote

Reveal hidden contents I don't know where he shoots the Mask of Creation off, because in both book and animation he knocks it off with his hammer by hitting it :s Quote

I just love it when they have little secrets like these hidden in the background.

I guess he was trying for that "gasping" feel, but it just sounded like he was stopping mid-sentence. Quote

It's pretty obvious to me now that it wasn't a typo, but someone misreading it. I'm very happy that we have official info now for the graphic novel and the last episode has been released. It looks quite promising and I am pretty excited. Quote
DuplexBeGreat Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I really loved this episode. I could find almost nothing to complain about. The voice acting, the sound effects, the sequencing--- everything was delivered very well, in my opinion. I did notice a small animation goof. In the scene where the Toa get hit by Grinder and their weapons and masks go flying, Onua is standing to the "right" of Gali (from the viewers' point of view), yet his weapon is positioned to the left of hers. Additionally, in the final scene, none of the Toa have their weapons... except Tahu and Lewa. Okay. Still, neither of these things reduces the enjoyment of the episode for me. I think it was a fitting ending to the year, though I am disappointed that Ekimu simply remade their old masks. I mean, what's even the reason that they get new ones next year, then? Edit: http://i.imgur.com/oHweWIu.png Ekimu jumps on Tahu's back to hit Kulta. I find this very funny for some reason. Edited October 5, 2015 by DuplexBeGreat Quote
Tazakk Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) So, folks! In the interest of making the episodes easier to watch together I've edited all of them into a single video, cleaning up the transitions so it all flows as a cohesive, smooth narrative. You can watch it right Edited October 5, 2015 by Tazakk Quote
