"uncomfortable slouching position"
A Megha (United States)
The bottom portion of the seat slides forward in the reclining mode (instead of reclining back) resulting in an uncomfortable slouching position. My feet/legs fell asleep multiple times and I could not find a comfortable position to sleep because there was so little room available. Bear in mind I'm 5'2" so I can't imagine how this would work for someone taller.

"seat bottom would move forward"
N Stash (Singapore)
Instead of reclining the seat bottom would move forward and it didn't give the same impact (at least to me) as reclining - not comfortable on a long flight.

"seat base slides outwards"
J Osada (Singapore)
The seats on ANA 787 Dreamliner do not recline- the seat base slides outwards towards the seat in front of you. Needless to say this makes a mockery of the "more legroom" selling point because now passengers have even less legroom when they "recline" their seats. And sliding the seat out from under the chair does not make for a more comfortable seating position since you slouch in the chair and be just as uncomfortable.

"generous amount of room"
R Ryan (United States)
NRT-PEK on the new 787-8. I was stunned how impressive the economy service is. The seats are in a 3x3x3 arrangement and I had a generous amount of room between me and the person next to me. I was very impressed though that on this 3 hour flight they serve a full meal service in economy. The portions are larger then on my flight from SFO-NRT (12 hour flight) on United. The plane did have western movies in English but very limited choices. Staff were over the top friendly.

"very uncomfortable seat pitch"
L Andres (United States)
ANA's B777 from NRT-SEA was awful. Small leg room and very uncomfortable seat pitch.
