What's everyone watching or reading or building? Looking forward to anything this year?<br>Let's keep it /m/-related.

>>22601361
>is a girl here

>is a guy here
Is the show good, I only know it's police real robots.
I only have this pic and an anon's cel, and I can't find the pic with the bored guy talking on the megaphone

Tetsujin 28 FX is pretty cool. The robots on both the enemy and hero sides are cool (I especially like the transforming truck in the second episode) and it's got a new contender for my favourite super robot theme. I'm also chugging along through Astro Boy and am continually impressed by just how much better it is than most other manga I've read.<br>Also, I've started Gridman the Hyper Agent, probably the first toku I've enjoyed as much as a mecha anime. I've always liked the designs of Gridman, but I hated the anime, so I'm watching the toku instead. It's pretty good so far -- perhaps if I like it I'll watch other Ultra stuff, starting with Tiga, Gaia, or Mebius.

>>22601349
28 episodes into Machineman, pretty just okay series overall. The villains suck and you can tell it had a thin.budget, but nothing bad.

>>22601380
I can't, I'm court-mandated to finish my other shows first

Patlabor fan we get it you can quit spamming already.

NO, you fool, if that was the case, pixiv would had tagged it as such, they are VERY fussy about AI slop.

If I have to watch another episode of a 70s anime or Sailor Moon I am going to have a mental breakdown
>inb4 Patlabor

>another thread ruined by patlaboringfags
Can you do the board a favour and kill yourselves? Or at least develop better taste?

I finished L-Gaim, pretty fun show. <s>Kind of a weird ending though, left me a little unsatisfied.</s><br>Trying to pick between Macross and Combattler for what to watch next.

Very nearly done with the original Mobile Suit Gundam - Amuro just bodied M'Quve and I love seeing that 16 year old kid just mowing through Zeon mobile suits where he used to struggle against more than two at a time.

What's with the literal faggot pedophile itt?

Based Patlabor poster.

>>22601349
Still going through Jeeg. As I've said before, it's fine. It's really amusing a lot of the time, and Mecha Don is the best. Also, I hope we get to see some more panty shots from the main girl. That was about twenty episodes ago.
I'm also about to finish Burst Angel. The nod to Geist was unexpected. And Sei is best girl.

How worthless are the mods here when the only spamming they ever delete is shit about Duel? I'm not saying that Duel and his many ragers aren't fucking annoying, that shit should be deleted, but this is textbook spamming just as annoying as Duel and nothing is done.

This year alone I’ve been going through metal heroes and showa era kamen rider for the first time(just finished V3 about an hour ago), really awesome stuff

I wonder how much overlap/m/ has with /tg/

>>22601349
My girl bought me a HG Zaku III custom for xmas 2021 and I still haven't built it because of the ungodly amount of /tg/ related shit I have.

it's shit. generic retarded-girl comedy school-tier trash with robot because the suits knew nobody want to watch that shit without robots in the 80s

>generic retarded-girl comedy school-tier trash with robot because the suits knew nobody want to watch that shit without robots in the 80s
In many ways it was the G-Witch of its time, right down to the more mundane premise and drama between corporations. At least it wasn't yuri, but if it came out today, you can sure bet it would be.

I could forgive Patlabor if there was robot action that isn't just 5 minutes of bomb disarming or blocking streets footage to catch baddies.
if you want to show me robots, let them fight

>>22601370
Unlike most of /m/ I will tell you most of it is trash. Just watch the stand alone movie 3 with the big sewer monster, it's the only part of the franchise that's worth watching. Most of the cast is garbage with Ohta being the absolute worst. If you want good police mecha check out Tank Police, J-Decker, Zoids Fuzors, AD Police (both versions), Angel Links, Tiger a d Bunny, and the Silent Mobius movies. I rag on Patlabor, and it deserves it, but even it's worst is still better than Active Raid or Steam Detectives.

>>22605673
At least you didn't call it "Patlaboring" this time, Duel, but you just HAD to shill garbage like TV AD Police and Angel Links. Did those shows have spicy bondage scenes?

>>22605697
Not duel, not into bondage, and why are you ragging against AD Police and Angel Links?

>>22605697
>Calling shows he's never seen garbage
Yup, he's trolling.

>>22605700
TV AD Police (not the OVA) is a pseud snoozefest with an awful MC. Angel Links is a boring, poorly-paced, predictable fanservice fest with awful animation.

>>22605710
>Angel Links is a boring, poorly-paced, predictable fanservice fest with awful animation.
No that was Outlaw Star, a bunch of dreadful gunk somehow made by two legendary studios Sunrise and Xebec. Angel Links was an extremely well made series.

Watched New Mutants and Shazam: Fury of The Gods this weekend which were both great movies.

>>22605715
You've got to make it at least a little believable.

>>22605719
It's the truth. Outlaw Star sucked balls while Angel Links was a 10/10 anime.

I only need /m/echa shows with maternal deuteragonists.

>>22605842
This is the only other image I have of this character I don't know. I'm afraid.

>>22601349
Finished Zeta a couple of weeks ago. Currently on episode 11 of ZZ and I don't like it so far. No wonder people are saying the tone is too different. It's like they are forcefully shoving the old characters out of focus and saying "Look at these plucky and fun new characters! Just forget the dumb old cast!" You're shoving all these stupid comedy shit right into my face after all the shit the characters from Zeta had gone through? I hope people aren't fucking with me when they said it will get better in the second half.
Also playing Megaton Musashi Wired. I like Danball Senki, so this is quite enjoyable for me.

>>22605955
>I hope people aren't fucking with me when they said it will get better in the second half.
It does <s>then it gets dumb again</s>

>>22605957
I'm determined to see the end, but maybe I'll take a few breaks along the way.

Recently watched the 5th episode of Gaiking, the show has really gotten into it's own by this point.
>Sumo guy is big, stubborn and kinda stupid (thinks the MC is actively trying to sabotage him), but get things done
>The kid character likes to mess with Sumotard and take embarrasing pictures of him
It also has some bouncy Yoshinori Kanada-style animation, right as the action choreography gains some legs.

Go Nagai may only have created the titular robot, but the designs, personalites and advanced precursor civilization shenanigans definitely make it feel like one of his works, even if all signs point to the show being a product of his Dynamic Pro. assistants/disciples and the people at Toei Animation.
Is there some major creative shift in the second half, considering that Dynamic is only credited for the first 22 episodes?

>>22605631
>I could forgive Patlabor if there was robot action that isn't just 5 minutes of bomb disarming or blocking streets footage to catch baddies.
The original OVA is the only entry that suffers from this problem.
>>22603916
This, but with You're Under Arrest instead of Patlabor.
I like both, but YUA's cast isn't as interesting and its plots/situations are so lighthearted that they're practically a joke in and of themselves.
Noa has a wide range of expression in her eyebrows alone, while Natsuki and Miyuki's faces are so flat and undefined that they almost look like something from a decade+ later.

>>22606019
I don't see how a police drama doing dramatic police things like handling a terrorist threat is somehow a problem.

I started watching Boonboomger when it aired which inspired me to watch Gaogaigar because of the screwdriver weapons. I finished that pretty fast so I just startef Future GPX Cyber Formula. I loved everything I'm watching a lot right now and it's really lifting my spirits.

I just had to drop Metalder though. I loved it at first but now it feels like I'm trying to make myself watch it at arkund episode 30.

Just finished MSG. I'm gonna move on to Zeta. If it's anything like the original, I'm excited.

>>22606044
>I finished that pretty fast so I just startef Future GPX Cyber Formula
Funny you mention it because I'm watching Cyber Formula too. Only at episode 8 so far.

Is the second part of the Yamato remake that bad? Heard it shelves some of the likable characters from part 1 and whitewashes Dessler, something about
>he's even more horrible than the original but it very briefly and poorly explains how all of that was necessary against something worse, even though he still attacked his own civilians/left them to die
>the issue or friction with him becoming an ally isn't properly addressed
I remember greatly enjoying the first part, was just strongly recommended to ignore the rest.

>reluctantly permit myself one extra show against the pact, since watching two episodic shows of cutie Honey and sailors running around, and episodic crow hell is a nightmare, as opposed to back when I at least had Gundam Seed with an ongoing narrative (please don't hate me anon, I'll try to finish the other shows too and stick to just these on my own)
>realizing that I miss Gundam Sneed (affectionate)
>pick up Captain Tylor otherwise I'll keep forgetting to
>just want pleasant space adventures where no one dies and we get a happy ending
>he proceeds to make an AI lady cum so violently that she dies
I see.
Richard Dom's seiyuu also sounds familiar, I'm sure it'll come to me.

>>22606612
Im actually on the same episode.

I love the opening and ending so much I think I heard it in my sleep

>>22607032

>>22607179
But but I'm using it as a term of endearment

>>22607181
You, I, and others have to be careful on certain terms. Some people just have a very violent reaction on these nicknames regardless of how it's used.

>>22607184
Alright, fair enough.. it's a bit late to delete the post but I'll try to be more careful. I really do miss the show though..

>>22607181
It really doesn't matter, like how ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>22607245
I'm sorry, I'll try to be more mindful, I just keep calling it that in my head because it's funny and endearing to me.
I really hope Seed Destiny is good, and the movie is too! I'll try to deploy Lacus and Waltfeld's ship more in SRW.

>>22607032
>Richard Dom's seiyuu also sounds familiar, I'm sure it'll come to me.
>it's Rau Le Creuset
No fucking wonder he sounded familiar and recent. The show's absolutely amazing so far, Tylor got his first major win against the ayys. Absolutely charming seeing this friendly carefree guy bumble his way into successes through the power of sheer and utter luck (or ingenuity?).
>Dom said good fortune is the most important to win a war
>basically confirms that Tylor's going to single-handedly win the war

I'm working my way through the Armored Trooper Votoms franchise. I've finished ATV, Last Red Shoulder, and Big Battle so far. Idk why I never gave the series much thought but it is now my favorite and I am thoroughly obsessed. They were able to produce the feeling of sci-fi that other "sci-fi" anime don't quite nail for me and I really like that.

>>22601349
I got 3/4ths of the way through L-Gaim during covid and it was a lot of fun and then a bunch of other stuff happened and I got distracted and depressed and now it somehow feels wrong to finish it cause I'm not in the same place emotionally I was back then

>>22607032
>Captain Tylor
>ongoing narrative
I mean, sort of, I guess? It feels like it's more about the crew's character arcs than having a story that builds up to anything. Should've went back to Digimon or read Demonbane or something if you wanted that

>>22606019
Do you really want to take that Italian rumor seriously? There’s not a single mention of it in Japanese and no recordings or official source for what he supposedly said. The whole thing sounds sketchy as fuck.

>>22607677
[9] was the only citation that contained anything remotely useful, namely Go Nagai claiming that he created Gaiking's design.
Nearly all of the other citations pertaining to that chunk of the Wikipedia article were incidential mentions.

If the Dynamic Pro. connection was nothing more than some Italian blogger/pundit's hoax, William Winckler Productions wouldn't have credited them in the opening credits of their compilation movies, assuming that they got the credits from Toei Animation (this credit also appears on the show's Japanese Wiki page).

Toei had no incentive to perpetuate foreign theories about them screwing over a famous mangaka, unless they thought it'd be a good way to drum up publicity for this show.
Even then I strongly doubt that their licensing department or William Winckler's low-rent voiceover company had enough passion toward this little project to do such a thing.

>>22607748
Some Dynamic Pro staff worked as freelancers in the show, but it was heavilly marketed as their first original Robot anime. Nagai's feud with Toei was regarding ownership of Mazinger Z. That's why to this day, elements from the TV series belong to Toei and elements from the manga belongs to Dynamic Pro, with a bit of overlap due to how close they were to each other. The marketing for Shin Mazinger couldn't call it a remake of the old show or make any reference to the Toei version for that reason. And even Z in Mazinkaiser and Grendizer U uses the manga design for that same reason. That was all settled in court and there was never any mention of Gaiking regarding any of that. There's nothing substantial about those claims outside one guy saying "he said it, I was there"

>>22607522
I would suggest teaking a brief break from it. While it isn't a depressing show by any means, the show does take a darker turn in the second half and it might sour your already bad mood as is.

>find cool mecha anime
>fight scenes, gore, pilots fighting shit
>love it
>watch a few more episodes
>turns into slice of life autism/beach episode
Why does this happen so often?

>>22601411
>>22601435
imagine wasting your life learning how to draw just to end up making shitty AI looking "art"

>>22607888
They're taking stories better suited either for 1-2 hour OVAs or full 50-episode anime, and making them 12-26 episodes. They can't introduce more plot elements because they don't have time, so they have to water everything down and add in filler. I'm watching STRAIN right now and it's awful for that.

was going to comment what i was watching but this izumi spammer is super annoying

>>22607924
No wonder no one talks about it

Literal pedophile ruining an entire thread. Kill yourself you fucking worthless spamming faggot.

I only talk to anons who have a sickening adult woman fetish like I do

>>22607671
Well, it's still moving forward, much like how I'd like to move that crow forward into an oven. Just a little bit, just to do a bully
>Should've went back to Digimon or read Demonbane or something if you wanted that
I watched the intro to Demonsbane, I thought it wouldn't be as bad to be an oathbreaker if it was just one separate anime I finished instead of "I will resume something expressedly forbidden".
Demonbane looks nice, I get the vague vibe of why it might be compared to Shin Mazinger Zero, but the robots looked too overdetailed and I wanted to unrelatedly lie down that day

Is this supposed to be a fucking joke? My post got deleted but the fucking textbook spamming and flooding is allowed to remain? Fucking kill yourselves janny scum, you have one fucking job and you are incapable of doing it.

Kinda trying to find the time to start watching L-Gaim.

Same anon from >>22603682
Currently watching Jiban and kamen rider X, both are fantastic, already it seems like jiban is more powerful(and less restraint) than his more famous western counterpart and I like how rider X has a Greek motif for the monsters

How the fuck have I not heard of this? And this is smack dab between Genesis of Aquarion and Macross Frontier by the same studio (and Gonzo)! It's like finding a slice of life anime in the 90s and finding out Go Nagai was the head writer. Actual WTF moment right here.

>>22608415
Yeah, there's a lot of spaceship shows /m/ never talks about -- Bodacious Space Pirates, Sol Bianca, Lost Universe, Starship Operators, Galaxy States Warring Chronicle Rai, Technovoyager, Kiddy Grade, Melty Lancer . . .

>>22608430
I watched and enjoyed Bodacious!
>>22608428
I liked New, hope you do as well!

>>22608455
I'm reading the Abyss of Hyperspace manga right now and it's surprisingly good. I love all the spaceports, the fancy room, the ID cards, and the ship designs which remind me of Outlaw Star. The title is misleading -- it's barely ecchi and it has a good story. Any other obscure spaceship manga recommendations?

>>22608430
>Bodacious Space Pirates, Sol Bianca, Lost Universe, Starship Operators, [..] Kiddy Grade,
All of these come up.

>>22608415
>Credited to fucking Shoji Kawamori
Yeah this happens a lot with him. His name always pops up in unlikely of places. I was surprised when I found out he worked on Escaflowne and Basquash.

>>22608430
>Bodacious Space Pirates
We talked about that

>>22608068
Noa does look like a shota especially from a far

>>22608224
You don't watch Demonbane, you read it
I'm also not a fan of the robot designs. It's part of why you don't watch the anime. Those designs weren't really meant for animation and look very strange when you see them in motion.

>>22608459
Not sure whether I read it yet or just saw the movie. Wish there was more for me to read, it was very very fun show.
>Outlaw Star
<s>Still have to watch that!</s>
>obscure
I wouldn't know, sadly, I get my recommendations from here on /m/. /m/ is ho/m/e...
>>22608544
Sorry uh, I meant just the opening animation and the intro with <s>the robot falling down to the planet</s>. Just couldn't remember whether that was animated, automated, or something I clicked through, but I definitely didn't start the visual novel in any meaningful capacity yet. Although it seems like the world has sentient robots that have to be piloted for full potential, which is a giant plus in my book.
>>22608545
The only other instance of "the eroge is so good, you'll actively want to get back to the game and story from the H scenes" I experienced, which is /m/-unrelated, was <s>Sengoku Rance. Fate was good too but you could theoretically ignore the H scenes.</s>

>>22608603
>Although it seems like the world has sentient robots that have to be piloted for full potential, which is a giant plus in my book.
Yeah, you saw the VN's animated opening, nothing else would have given you this impression. Rest assured, there are no sentient robots. Well, except for a human-sized android girl anyway

>>22608626
>Rest assured, there are no sentient robots.
But I wanted the sentient evil robot antagonist the story revolves around...
>android girl
Alright, I'll take it.

At least the scat pics are less shit than faglaboring spam

>>22609466
Good, Noa image dumping belong in Patlabor threads. Unfortunately there's still Duelrager spam abound.

>>22601349
Looking forward to Grendizer U, I suppose.

15 episodes into the following:

>Log Horizon season 2
Needs more action, new characters outside of Leonardo are annoying, and it has slow pacing. Not too different from season 1.
>Tsubasa Chronicle season 2
More character development, slightly better comedy, and the villains actually do things. GASP!
>Shinkalion Z
I like the E7 pilot he's a good character, unfortunately much of the supporting cast from the first series came back for no reason. It's like the writers gave up around episode 9 and said "fuck it just bring people back we can't flesh this out on its own". I do like Dark Shinkalion, he's basically a centaur Epyon Gundam with a trident.
>Glass Fleet
Ignoring the fact the main villain is an incestuous rapist and murder this is one really shitty cast. Everyone is either violent, unfunny, petty, or obnoxious. Top that off with very low quality music, corner cutting animation, and subpar world building and you get, well, this. The action and pacing are good at least.

I'm watching the tangentially /m/ Legendz.<br>Also was at the library earlier today and they had a tv which I guess you could use to watch videos in the library's collection; oddly enough it was playing an episode of City Hunter when I got there

>>22609911
And that was mecha, you even have robot punching as the picture.

Watching 2 eps per day for Great and Grendizer should get me ready for Grendizer U's debut in July, even if it debuts on July 1st. Shouldn't be that hard, hopefully.
>get to Great's parents' day episode
>assume it's about Tetsuya
>realize it's about Shiro
>realize it's actually about Kenzo
>Ank is giving everyone a run for their money
<s>>Dr Tonda, who's been helpfully sticking around for a while, dies unhesitatingly to save Shiro</s>
<s>>Shiro and Borot are captured but Shiro says it's fine to die since he's already alone, and he can be with mom and dad after dying: all within earshot of Kenzo</s>
It worked out in the end but I didn't think we'd get such a heart-wrenching episode, this early. Good show. (And no Bakarasu! Woo!)

>>22610302
>Shiro shitting on Kenzo for sending Tetsuya out to a trap (I guess he's picked up on a few tactics from seeing Dr Hell's frequent raids) just like he doesn't care about Shiro either
>that very very subtle change of expression before Kenzo wordlessly turns away
At least we get this by the end
https://files.catbox.moe/6tputg.png<wbr>
and a few eps earlier we got
https://files.catbox.moe/0hsz6c.png<wbr>
so I guess the continuity to follow is not just "Hades is fed up with Ankoku who is fed up with his generals", but also parental relations with Shiro before the reveal. Tetsuya already said he considers Kenzo his father, so I guess any issues about that will come up later, or after Koji comes back.
Also just look how happy he was to get to Shiro for parents' day
https://files.catbox.moe/vkih5q.png<wbr>
https://files.catbox.moe/g847n1.png<wbr>
while Kenzo, Yumi, and the viewer are the only people who know about Kenzo's secret, Tetsuya and Jun (as I was already told) are considering Shiro as family unknowingly. But I didn't anticipate Shiro likewise unknowingly treating Kenzo as a father. <s>Really really really really wish we get any sort of closure or reflection from the characters about Kenzo's death, outside of a SRW30 interaction and whatever might be in the unfindable pre-Infinitism manga.</s>

Kamen Rider Geats' Korean dub<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLl<wbr>Dg3uCr5o

>>22610364
I don't know why Korean dubs almost always sounded cheesy to me, even if it's a completely normal dub. Manga's fine for whatever reason though.
>that sheer level of sass about kicking the invincible guy
The sheer level of cute bickering and seeming indifference between these guys makes me wonder what non-Toei Getter pilots would sound like in a decent Korean dub.

>>22610369
That episode in general had some adorable interactions between Michinaga and Ace. Especially Michinaga's reaction to Ace's Punkjack art.

I'm on about episode 14 of Future GPX Cyber Formula now where Hayato <s> lost the American race and met the former champion</s> and it feels like the more I watch it then more I love it. I watched it at a perfect time where I needed something about an underdog that was uplifting. I had no idea what to expect I just watched it on a whim because I heard the OP somewhere.

>>22609859
I always wanted to watch Legendz becaude Kenji Watanabe (Digimon,Tamagotchi) did the designs but I haven't gotten around to it.

>>22610319
>Ignoring the other two which are mecha
Hmmmmmm. Those lizard people from Saturn sure have a way with hypnosis.

>>22610685
Only at episode 11 myself, but holy shit at Hayato in ep.11. I really liked how his stubbornness bit him in the ass hard.

>>22601370
Patlabor is excellent. One of my personal top three anime of all time, across all genres.

>>22610819

You're almost there! Keep following that logic.

>>22611667
Kamen Rider Zombie has felt the agony of the lack of stronger power ups like Shadowmaru did in his show. Coincidentally, they're both purple.

Picrel is my current backlog, any suggestions on what to tackle next? I like MJP-like humour, Takahashi and pretentious things.

>>22611694

If this is your backlog why are you asking for more suggestions?
Watch this stuff first.

>>22611715
I wasn't asking for additions but for some spoonfeeding on what's the most interesting and what is worth skipping on this list.

>>22611719

Project Ako
Appleseed(1988)
Armitage III
Betterman(dont bother with that BD version and just watch a dvd rip)
Iczer one
Blue submarine no.6, find version with dolby 5.1 or dts with subs and not that dual audio one.
Gun x Sword
Macross DYRL instead of that one on your list.
Watch og Dominion Tank Police before the new dominion one.

Is there a real life VHS with lights like this?
this is giving me serious nostalgia vibes

>>22611799
It has a model number drawn on it and this pops up when you Google it

>>22610938
One of the most fun part of the show for me is how it's like 'kid falls into Gundam' but way more grounded.

I never expected this show to hit me emotionally either but then following episode really got me. And episode 14 or 15 whatever Im at now.

Also I found out China made a fucking Transformer Asurada and I had to buy it.

>>22611947
I dont care about drift but I liked his old toy.

>>22611947
Just completed episode 13 myself. So far, Kaga's only appeared in two episodes, but he's been a good bro to Hayato.

>>22611799

>Kenzo cements himself as a surprisingly warm, perceptive, and caring father figure
>comes across as even more paternal than Yumi, since he's working with 3 and later 4 of his actual children instead of just 1
>is slightly more stern than Yumi but not the hardass I expected him to be
I guess that's from knowing Kenzo prior from Mazinkaiser, Shin Mazinger, and Shin Mazinger Zero, which probably has 1-2 parental interactions with him and anyone else, from all three works fucking combined
>same priest from "Shiro fights bullies but also bullies animals" episode is back
>petitions Jun three times to go back out and fight (Boss helped too)
Christian episode, Christian anime...
It wasn't as emotional as "Sayaka has to depart with Aphrodite A after over several dozen episodes", but I assume it's probably the most emotional story we'll get from Jun, although I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
That's around the thirdway mark for Great. And that crow has been gone for a few episodes too, I swear the quality of the episodes went up fucking instantly. I tried not to hate him, I really tried.

>>22613240
Keiwa sounds familiar even though there's no way that should be fucking possible<s>, unless the VA dubbed Pokemon, Flint the Time Detective, and Conan that I watched over a decade ago.</s>
>that lady just killed a man
Okay.
And yeah, he does look a bit like a zombie buffalo. Keiwa looks like a minty cat? Where are the beetles and grasshoppers? I should have seen this coming when they designed Kamen Riders after different flavours of fruits and wheels.

>>22613249
Keiwa is a ninja tanuki Rider specifically.

https://files.catbox.moe/ej19qu.mp4<wbr>

>>22613277
If GPX does, then I guess Etoile also does. The main racing machine has a voiced AI too.

BUT, unlike GPX, THE RACING PART OF THIS RACING ANIME IS SO UNDERWHELMING AND BORING! And a shame too, since the manga, which is a prequel to this TV series, does evoke a sense of speed better in static panels than in animation.

I'm halfway through Tetsujin 28 FX and the direction they're going is quite interesting. It seems like it's basically Da Garn (a drawn-out war with planet-destroying villains that get plenty of character development) in the first half and Might Gaine/J-Decker (episodic robot battle hijinks) in the second half. The robots are very cool -- I love the truck they transport Tetsujin on (it's so cool that it has a spacious interior and a logo on the side) as well as several of the enemy mecha (especially the transforming ones, of which there are plenty).

>>22613241
Kenzo wasn’t in Mazinkaiser though?

>>22614008
J-Decker is good. It's one of the best Braves. Don't let "hurr durr toy commercial" ruin it for you.

>>22614036
Braves aren't good, hell most /m/ isn't good because there's no characterisation, there's no story in the episodes besides a random monster or something, the animation is repetitive and boring.
It's emperors new clothes shit to pretend Braves, Voltes V, Mazinger, Getter et al are good

>>22614040
There is LOTS of characterization in J-Decker and most of the Braves in general, most notably Da Garn, Goldran, and GaoGaiGar. There's also a lot of characterization in 70s mecha, especially Grendizer. There are overarching stories in all these shows as well, especially near the end. Have you even seen these?

>>22614088
Fucking lmao no there isn't, the status quo is reset every episode, no one learns or remembers anything.
Da Garn at least had the villains realise they could interrupt the transformation and stuff, but otherwise most mecha is just pure dreck

>>22614088
Why the fuck are you replying to him? How stupid are you?

>>22614092
Oh, so you just don't like episodic shows.
>most mecha is just pure dreck
Why are you here, then?

>>22614097
>why am I here
To talk about the actually good mecha and not fucking garbage like Braves, Eldran or Voltes V

>>22614040
Kill yourself you retarded pseudo-intellectual faggot

Jesus christ, it really is emperors new clothes to pretend actual garbage like Combattler is amazing

>>22614158
Lots of the love for Combattler is Filipino nostalgia and the show's cultural/political significance. It's like how in the US Voltron is "the giant robot show" but Golion really isn't good. However, the show does have Yasuhiko character designs and it was a more sophisticated super robot show for its time.

>>22614175
That's Voltes V, not Combattler.

>>22613366
Is it better or worse than Imagawa's, or are these two separate shows? Sounds like it's more of a super robot show than Imagawa's.
>>22613447
The mysterious old prophet guy that told Koji about the Final Kaiser Blade seems like it's Kenzo, I have no idea who else it could be. He's done the oldguy disguise in I think the Z vs Ankoku movie and maybe in the manga as well. This never really goes anywhere though, in any continuity apart from maybe Shin Mazinger Zero, and in isolation it's never shown in the OVA who this is, but that's literally the only person it could be, either that or a hallucination that's homaging Kenzo's appearance.

My bloodlust is rising.
Ninjas just have to be purple, I think. I guess one exception is Tobikage whose show I haven't watched yet. And Sorakage from Goldran I guess. And teal Kagerou from J-Decker.
I guess I should give ninjas of different colours a chance, even if they're buffalo-coloured

>>22601349
Watching TV Mazinger after putting it off for a long time. I'm going to try to go through the TV shows for Z, Great and Grendizer before Grendizer U releases
<s>I set up my subs to simultaneously use the Discotek subs and the crabstick subs, it's been a good time though sadly it doesn't use the crabstick font past episode 1</s>

>>22614725
I'm doing the same thing and am on Great right now, you are absolutely in for a treat as far as the story goes, definitely don't dismiss it as a weightless episodic show with no consequences!
>juggling crabsticks
That's actually amazing, I just went with whatever subs the BD had but was curious about crabsticks, hope that's treating you well!

Lmao imagine getting bullied by a cripple because you fucked up a race

Here's the encouragement that got me to start Toei

>>22616000
That's... actually very sweet. We didn't get much of that in Seed Vanilla.

>>22616001
Currently watching Fukuda's first directed series, Cyber Formula (episode 18) and you still have the promise of those other shows to fulfill.

>>22616005
I don't know what that is nor knew it was you, but I hope you're enjoying it.
I'm doing my best on the other shows <s>but it was a bit depressing seeing qt blondes just episodically hopping around 24/7 but also get personally tormented by a demented crow, I'm really really sorry for picking up Tylor and I never checked /a/ for Sailor Moon threads because I love /m/ too much</s>
I beg of you to pick up Mazinger Zero though, after the "is this a fucking edgefest" hurdle, it's a positive and charming story full of hope. I think you'd be able to most appreciate it after having consumed I think all known prior Mazinger material.

As a racing series, Cyber Formula is a solid ride so far. Episodes 11-12 were the notable ones as they showed that the main character, Hayato, wasn't invincible and had to learn and grow from his hotheaded cockiness and crushing defeat.

>>22616022
>Cyber Formula is a solid ride so far
Was this intentional
>Hayato
It's often a Hayato, not that I mind. The name is associated with speed in my mind for some reason.
>crushing defeat
I hope it wasn't literal or drastic, the cheery cast looks like the kind that would break your heart with their tears.
>there's even a Char
Literally just paint your tires red if you want to go faster, I don't know why cars have never done this.

>>22616034
I like how he's Racer X and Char combined

This is rather silly and adorable, but I'm a sucker for "you don't have to do this alone" beatdowns, Akito had it as well, despite whatever flaws it had (I don't know what flaws it had, I don't think it was horrid but it just took me a while to finish it)

Ok, so the only actual villain of the show is Speed Racer, got it.

Dangaiou tv 2001

 It's like a mix of eva parody and supermecha. They even had episode with electricity on not-nerv base turning off. Or when big bosses leave on secret business and not-Mistao has to take command and bitch-slap non-Ritsuko doctor. Animation is pretty fluid. It's kinda weird, i can tell they had talent but i also can see why it's forgotten obsolete show.
Also I like how every episode ends up with mastermind behind this week attack getting murdered.

>>22617794
Yeah, G Dangaioh actually isn't that bad. I liked the plane launch hangars and the secret base's exterior/interior, as well as its cool computer screens, and many of the enemy mecha were cool (especially the Build Ranger, the Knight of Gold ripoff, and the final boss). The twist with Mia Alice at the end is interesting, and the final two episodes are good in general. Re: the animation, when CGI has fully taken over modern anime, we'll look back on this as a cool animation piece much like with the original Dangaioh. The only problem I could say this anime has is that the slice-of-life/fanservice bits are suuuper painful to get through (especially considering that the OVA wasn't very lewd aside from the main cast wearing leotards).

>>22617802
Duel you have the absolutely most stupid opinions on this site.

>>22617816
Not Duel because I don't think G Dangaioh is a 10/10; at most it's a 6/10, but it's certainly not one of the worst /m/ shows ever like people on this board say (that would go to Franxx or Code Geass)

One of these days I should really watch VOTOMS, king gainer, and a bunch of other mech shit I've had downloaded for a decade

>Dr. Hell's soldiers are supposed to commit suicide when captured but seemingly don't have anything like a suicide pill

>>22614726
>>22614790
I've watched a good share of monster of the week stuff so I know they can take time to get the plot rolling, and Mazinger is already going at a faster pace than some others like Gaiking or Voltes. Enjoying it so far; I actually did read the manga of Z (not Great or beyond though, none were translated at the time) and the audio component makes Baron Ashura in particular way more enjoyable, great presentation for the character

Great Mazinger, actual spoilers!
<s>>title gives away Gorgon's death</s>
<s>>honourfag who came across as a cunt until he actually was very kind to Ashura who died in his arms, seeing what they thought would be the end of Mazinger Z, and subsequently joins Dr Hell's revenge campaign just as an honourfag</s>
<s>>turns out is in some pecking order/internal politics bullshit against the Mycene army</s>
<s>>frontline base is almost done, generals fuck up, heads out to help the sentouju purely out of concern, even trying to shield it and takes a Thunder Break to the fucking face and is presumed dead</s>
<s>>subsequently limps back home, is promoted to commander, personally by the Emperor, achieving his dream... only to succumb to his wounds, with even a sad theme playing</s>
Only downside to the ep is that <s>the Emperor doesn't mourn his death like I know he later does for Ankoku Daishogun</s> but Boss got another assist in some brighter news. I was hoping <s>I'd like Gorgon and that he wouldn't die a bitch's death like in other works</s> and I was not disappointed, Great continues Z's tradition of treating its antagonists well.
There's also <s>Mommy Marquis Janus</s> to look forward to immediately after.

>>22618271
Glad you're enjoying its pace, I can't remember how many episodes felt like I was giving it a chance vs being invested, I think it was maybe 7 or less, possibly even 3 or 4. You'll definitely get a sense of progression and development if you haven't already. Z's manga was fine and felt like a complete story iirc.

>>22614563
In the meantime, posting another Geats clip.

>the audio component makes Baron Ashura in particular way more enjoyable, great presentation for the character
Forgot to comment, Ashura is absolutely top tier here. Have you watched Shin already? I liked Brocken over creepy Ashura before I watched any Mazinger, but there are extremely good reasons why Baron Ashura is the iconic go-to number two for Dr Hell, I'm certain you'll appreciate Ashura all the more by the end.
>so many things I want to comment on that I can't
>>22618921
>find the pineapple
What a cool line, totally.. I don't think that would sound cool in any language.
>a pineapple is a relevant weapon in TWO Kamen Rider shows
Choreo and effects look pretty good though, seems like they found a nice balance and aesthetics, albeit still not a super fan of so much neon and colours. But I enjoyed what I watched for Gaim, so I'll probably just have to warm up to the flashy colours.

>Shit posting on dangaioh & gaogaigar
Let the bait retard on page 10 talk to himself & let the thread die. Don't even post in it.

Started Kamen Rider Revice and marathoned the first five episodes. Mostly cool, the buddy team up finishers are weird. Did not expect an evil version of Kamen Rider Ghost to show up at the end of episode 5.

Just finished episode 47 of Zeta Gundam. Why did the AEUG start fighting Axis Zeon after Jamitov's assassination? Did they just think Haman was too dangerous to leave to do their own thing? I mean they're right but it feels like I missed an episode or something.

Finished Kamen rider Amazon, it’s quite different(but still charming in its own right) from previous three entries but stronger seems to be using the classic formula once more, also great leader is back after destron was wiped out by v3. I’ll say that Amazon’s violence was heavily exaggerated which makes sense as his show was never cut short and previous shows showed similar amount of violence.

Finished Turn A Gundam. The only Tomino Gundam I have left is G Reco. I hear the movies are better than the TV series, is it true?

I just watched episode 21 and 22 if Future GPX Cyber Formula and I really didn't expect shit to get so real. The Smith always seemed just sort of silly and lighthearted antagonist stuff till now I didn't know it would go in this direction <s>Hayato's dad was murdered by him since before the series began and Hayato only just found out. But thankfully Smith is fucking dead too.</s>

>>22622558
They’re more complete. Still didn’t watch the last one.

>>22622144
These highlights look more like a series of toy commercials... maybe it's because it has the company credits at the bottom
Still swearing up and down that these seiyuus (baewoos I guess) sound exceedingly familiar
>shhh
Ok that's actually pretty cool, in its smugness.

>>22622502

Later in the series Stronger's formula actually becomes quite different from the previous shows.

>>22618931
Zombie has some Gridknight energy on him with that purple and orange color scheme.

13 eps into Revice, still enjoying it quite a bit

>Emperor of Darkness actually gives a shit that two of his generals undermined a fellow Mycene dead
I think Grendizer <s>straight up has two commanders either kill another one or leave them for dead, who in turn sets off a self-destruct switch that kills them too? Or something?</s>
I loved seeing Ashura and Brocken bicker as well as get along now and then, but there's something interesting about seeing villains under an actual head of state try to get ahead or just kill someone they hate. Really wish I can finish Great and Grendizer before U comes out.
>>22623869
So do you
And you're right, I do see it!

>>22623900
Sweet, one of my webms being reposted.
https://files.catbox.moe/6xclq2.web<wbr>m

>>22623671
Oooh, I think delza gundan might be involved with those episodes. I’m eight episodes in right now so I’ve still got a way to go. I think those episodes might be why stronger is so well regarded amongst the Showa era riders.

>>22623994
They're pretty handy!
Still only saw the first ep and the Great vs Grendizer movie for Grend, really really hoping the TFO gets to do something cool, I have no good reason for disliking it and I feel bad for doing so. It feels like another version of
>SRW30's character asking Koji where his Mazinger is, booing the Ichinana
>"hey don't be like that, my custom Ichinana isn't no slouch either, it can be pretty nifty"
>it's still shelved immediately once Z shows up
Wouldn't mind an Ichinana kit though, the notion of having a lil army of mass-produced Mazingers sounds really appealing these days. Actually looking forward to rewatching Infinity after finishing Great for some reason

I'd almost rather have that worthless Patlabor spamming retard than these two faggots who shit up every backlog thread and turn it into their discord messages. Seriously, fuck off.

Is IBO and 08th MS team the only gritty series in gundam?

>>22624445
Define gritty. If you mean lots of death then 79, Zeta, ZZ and CCA would fall into that category. Victory too, even though it's way overdone and you stop caring. SEED/SEED Destiny should also fall into that category.

I haven't seen 00, G-Reco or AGE so can't speak for those

>>22624096
>these two faggots who shit up every backlog thread and turn it into their discord messages
One of them is korean, literally a soulless insect.

Started Gundam X. It's great. I have no idea why it would be cancelled, nips truly have the worst taste

>Great Mazinger is so badly damaged that literally the only attack he can use is Breast Burn

>assume kid appeal character's gimmick robot would be grating, because there's been zero fucking instances where anything like that's been
>Shiro and Robot Junior is fine, literally just a vehicle to lead us into the dad reveal
>one Mazinger show has a peace-loving dad with one sole child, a feisty daughter, and he's vaguely a parental figure to the orphaned protagonist and his younger brother, begrudgingly permits his sole child to go to battle
>another Mazinger show has a hardened cyborg who gave harsh training to two adopted children and presumably sends all four of his children willingly into battle
>this second father hid his fatherhood from his biological children, sometimes even disguising himself as an ancient prophet in addition to concealing himself, and was absent for 99% of his bio-children's life-or-death struggles
Never mind Shiro, if you asked me between Professor Yumi and Professor Kenzo, which character I'd assume had more warm and parental moments with his children, I would have bet zero dollars on "Kenzo Kabuto has a lot of emotional and sympathetic moments with all of his children", teared up a bit. It's a good show if you get past Crow Purgatory. Hope some good closure exists regarding Great's finale, even if it's an audio drama or a fanfic.
>>22623994
Uh, could I ask if you could make two webms of Great's ep <s>26</s>?
<s>>from Shiro seeing an injured Kenzo and calling him dad and his hug+apology
>the immediate scene after of them enjoying family time</s>
There's no real way to isolate a portion of pretty much the last four minutes of this episode and meaningfully be able to summarize or depict it. Pretty much the last fifth of the episode (minus the fighting segment in between) is such a noteworthy moment

>>22629203
make a discord server for you and your faggot friend already

>>22629237
As much as I'd love to bother him regularly, I don't think he wants that unfortunately
I'm also just overexcited about Mazinger regardless of the presence of my good anon

Onto episode 23 of stronger and I now finally understand the context of this particular scene, now a new mystery to me is HOW of all scenes it did become one.

>>22629654
Now onto the episodes with delza gundan and I was already enjoying stronger already but those first two episodes are amazing, it’s all uphill from here.

Finished STRAIN, and it came out a lot better than I expected -- maybe because I was toying with a story similar to that twist. I was going in expecting an ecchi, except aboard a spaceship and with 15 minutes of mecha fighting throughout, but it actually delivered an interesting story (I've heard it referred to before as "planet loli", and it's not at all like that IMO) even if the filler in the middle was excruciating.
Watching Tytania right now and it's pretty cool so far. For full disclosure, I haven't seen LOGH except My Conquest is the Sea of Stars, so hopefully it will be more enjoyable for me.
By the way -- how different is the Terra E TV anime from the manga? Terra E is one of my favourite manga and I want to know if the anime is as good as the manga.

Finished watching Cyber Formula's TV series. Really good run and one of Fukuda's stronger works..

>cannot for the life of me remember the Salud, Bood, or Ghoul being as paper-thin as the Mikelos seems to be in most episodes, or if Dr Hell and his subordinates were more strategically competent
<s>>Ankoku Daishogun's gets a whole two-parter send-off at the halfway mark of the show, not as emotional as Ashura's but still noble and noteworthy nonetheless, another villain who died thinking they've won</s>
>Jun and Boss show some decent heroism and self-sacrifice (as does Kenzo but he seems to do this way more frequently than Yumi)
>a highlight of Great remains the Mycenae bickering, but even Argos and Janus seem genuinely respectful and concerned for Ankoku, potentially their entire race is full of honourfags
Looking forward to the generals' reaction to Grand Marshal Hell!

>>22601349
Been in a bit of marathon lately.
>FMP TSR 13/13
Can't believe it took me 4 years to finally watch the sequel. Amazing stuff, even if its essentially a transitory arc to the amalgam/IV stuff. Not sure if i'll read the LNs or Sigma once i'm done with IV.
>Back Arrow 24/24
Stupid Dumb Show but it was bloody fun, man. The final act was a bit rushed for my taste but otherwise it left me pretty satisfied with its cool designs and fights. Zetsu was turbo based and wish Bit or the Granedger had a figure.
>Fuuto P.I. 10/12
Thee are many things playing against it, like it being a sequel to a tvshow, or having a snail pace (3 episodes per case, jesus christ). But still, its W if it had some Edge (and sex) into it so its good stuff.
>Yamato 2199 9/26
Watched the OG some time ago and i'm liking the remake far more. It feels like a more rounded and complete story compared to the OG that felt rather empty and aimless at times. Not to mention the show is fucking gorgeous, nobuteru yuuki is a godlike designer.
Thinking of watching either Garo 2005, Ultraman The Next+Nexus or KR Amazons to get back my Tokusatsu Groove.
Lastly, looking forward to the Gurren Lagan movie screenings for thirdworlders.

>>22633513
Yeah I was shocked by how good TSR was after the first show was just a complete mediocrity. It's not even a matter of Gatoh since apparently Gates was an anime original thing and TSR wouldn't have been quite as good without him

>>22633513
Back Arrow was super fun, glad you enjoyed. Did you finish part 2 of the Yamato remake, how is it? Was dissuaded by some criticisms of it.

Watching og Macross, up to episode 28.<br>I'm on the fence about it atm, there's a lot of really kino stuff but also a significant amount of bad no good stuff too

>>22633567
I didn't even call it bad my dude, you don't gotta seethe so hard

>>22633519

Eh, i think it was hit or miss.
The first two story arcs were meh but the desert and submarine arcs were pretty amazing.
>>22633548
>Back Arrow was super fun, glad you enjoyed
Yeah, regret not watching it when it came out.
>Did you finish part 2 of the Yamato remake
Meant the original 1974 show, still watching part 1 (2199). I too heard many negative things about part 2 (2202), but i don't think it will be that bad. Strangely looking forward to it too (although i first need to watch From Yamato with Love/Yamato II first).

>>22633548
How do the novels compare to the anime? I usually read novels/manga whenever possible, but I know this type of Japanese military writing can be quite dry, and it seems the anime has cooler stuff (like Iserlohn Fortress) all set to gorgeous animation and cool classical music. Either way I'm going to watch the Gaiden since the novels for that aren't translated.

>>22633570
It's because you said "kino", a forced meme that's antithetical to our culture here. Re: Macross, I agree with your assessment -- it has some really cool stuff but the romance and love triangle stuff is excruciating.

>>22633651
I think they should've just kept the conclusion from episode 27 and just stopped doing any more drama
Feels like Hikaru got hit with a stupid stick during the time skip

>>22633654
>noooo I want less episodes!!! why can't I just mark it as done on MAL already????

I watched like 5 episodes of super robot taisen OG and it kinda sucks. Shit just keeps happening and where are we and who are all these people? Whole thing feels like one giant meme for fans that i do not get. I'm not a big mecha expert. <br>Should i have checked out divine wars first?

>>22633673
Anon, learn to read.
When I say "conclusion from episode 27" I mean the conclusion of the romance drama, not that they should've ended the show there.
I'm quite enjoying all of the stuff after the timeskip with the racial relations and issues, I just don't enjoy the love triangle nonsense.
Stop projecting.

>>22633689
>the love triangle nonsense
That's quite literally the backbone of the show, everything else is just a setpiece. "Bro just develop the characters faster lmao" is a midwit complaint.

>>22633696
I would disagree, and assert that the backbone of the show is the interactions between humanity and the zentradi.
I do not feel that the love triangle has been given enough legitimate weight to be called the backbone, it's more of the secondary plot.
If the love triangle has been confirmed by the staff to be the main thing for the show, then that would be bad imo because it's not written particularly well.

>>22633687
Inspectors is a fanservice adaptation of SRW OG2, a fanservice game for people who are fans of SRW, a fanservice crossover franchise for fans of mecha in general
It is like the last thing you should get into as a mecha newfag (though if you can't appreciate the Obari animation, leave, you will never enjoy mecha anime).

>>22633572
Went into Back Arrow only knowing that it was by the same director as Code Geass, but I wasn't disappointed at all. Wish we got more products for the characters and mechs.
Ah, part 1 was a treat, hope you enjoy it, Sanada was my favourite. Didn't watch the original but I did watch the og for Captain Harlock. The show was better than the unrelated/potentially-standalone Arcadia remake. From what I've heard about some of the themes of 74 Yamato, I would assume both of us would prefer OG Harlock over OG Yamato, but I could be completely wrong on both accounts. I hope you enjoy part 2, so I might be tempted to pick it up as well.
>>22633650
I actually was not aware the novels were translated and available on nyaa until now, so I couldn't tell you. The OVA was great, apart from the episode previews outright spoiling you on many things you'd want to see blind. From what I was told, the new LOGH anime with the worse shiny pretty-boy designs follows the novel more closely as well, although that's not exactly an answer to your question. LOGH is a mandatory watch here, and I swear it's not dry. You'll have fun, I promise.

>>22636474
Damn that is a great frame
You hardly ever see that kind of robot evisceration after the 1970s (or even in general really), but it's always so satisfying to see more than just a basic explosion
Did you give up on Ultraseven btw?

"Great's leg upgrade episode is pretty good, the quality is great so far-"
>next ep: cat ninja robots steal Boss Borot and sit on Great's launch tube, rendering it impossible to deploy Great, Tetsuya must fend alone against his enemies with just the Brain Condor
What the fuck?
>>22636505
The kicks are pretty great, I remember enjoying them in Infinity and it's quite good here as well. You can definitely get away with a lot more gore if it's robots, even thinking about Mazingers reacting in pain or vomiting not-blood. Although I guess it's cheaper to dole out generic CGI explosions instead...
We did not give up on Ultraseven, instead we've been busy, or watched a bit of Macross, or got into some really insane non-/m/ show <s>it's Revolutionary Girl Utena</s>. I will never drop shows (in magma), there wasn't anything wrong with Ultraseven, Ultra's something I still view fondly.

>>22636474
>>22636527
Glad you’re enjoying Great and not listening to that annoying dude who keeps shitting on it every thread.

>>22636739
I wasn't aware there was one, granted that there was what felt like a slight slump (crow-related), but it could have just been me having a bad day

>>22636770
There’s one guy who even keeps repeating borderline lies like it had low ratings (it did better than Z on average) and Tetsuya was so disliked they brought back Koji to “save it”. When that’s only in the endgame arc and planned from the beginning. The Koji episodes did got some of the highest ratings but that was to be expected because team ups are generally hype as fuck and of course everyone would like to see him reunite with his dad.

>shinto has a concept of objects becoming alive after being loved or abused, and apparently culturally this is somewhat accepted concept
>know a SRW (DD?) hinted this with Great protecting Tetsuya while he was getting on Emperor G
>did not expect to see Borot, unmanned, just casually get scolded by Boss and weep together
I sometimes seat or have toys/models lie down because I worry they'll get tired, hopefully my Mazingers will come alive some day.
>>22636988
I was honestly a bit worried about that, largely ignored it because I like Great Mazinger (the robot) and chose to like Great Mazinger (the show), but I'm really really glad to hear that was basically bunk. I keep expecting Koji to show up soon and he keeps not showing up, because I keep assuming he's here for the last third of the show.

I have Gridman and Dunbine to watch, need to finish 86.

>>22633651
I'm going through it for the first time and just watched ep 34, I had to pause for a minute here and just sigh before continuing which rarely happens to me. This is painful.

Any show that reuses a plotline from its predecessor (dog getting caught in the crossfire and the Mazinger pilot being blamed) and still makes it heartwrenching is a good show.
>even the fucking crow finds the notion of Jun deploying alone so severe that he immediately reports it to Boss with the utmost amount of seriousness
Helps a lot that Tetsuya feels like a more emotionally rounded character, where we get to see his merits, faults, and conflicts outside of arguments with the girl of the show (but somehow no hints at romance even halfway in); I like Koji too but I don't recall a lot of moments where he's been that warm or guilt-ridden while it feels with Tetsuya you get more extremes at all parts of the emotional spectrum, if that makes sense. Kenzo also says something about sorrow that I'll headcanon as being relevant post-show.


Webdiver

The CGI is terribad but holy cow, this is one gem of a show.
>Takes place in the distant future, providing for interesting backgrounds and buildings
>It has a great futuristic soundtrack
>The main robot is a yellow and purple train and some of the other robots are freaking pirate ships, dual rotor helicopters, and steam airships
>The story is about being forced to fight/rescue your friends, so there's a lot of good drama -- it's basically if the crew of GGG got Zonderized rather than random civilians
>One of the evil kids wears a Char mask
>The episodes get into some interesting stuff like Goethian philosophy and have some good variation on the MOTW formula -- they also get pretty surreal at times
>The last half is schizo-tier and only a fraction of what it was initially going to be
I also feel like Divergence Eve, based on the one episode of it I saw, borrowed a lot from Webdiver. Is it worth watching or just technobabble-heavy ecchi garbage?

>>22615185
We're Fighters is one of the best endings in anime history.

>>22615185
I remember watching first two episodes a few years ago. The opening is really good and the show got really nice vibes for a kid mecha. CG was terrible though.
I'll try to watch more of it soon-ish.

>>22622975
Yeah, Webdiver has one of the most interesting kid mecha settings. In terms of story it's certainly meatier than some of the Yuushas/Eldrans -- it's probably on the same level as Fighbird in the first half with the character development of GaoGaiGar all throughout, and in the second half it goes full GaoGaiGar.

>>22615185
The only thing Webdiver has to fix is let ShoPro handle the CG. Yes, make it Shinkalion-tier CG for the remaster. It's all I ever ask because Radix is kaput for a long time now.

Anon you aren't even wrong. Jaegers are simply TERRIBLE robots. Most of their ranged weapons come across as almost entirely useless, they're incredibly and needlessly slow and it doesn't add to their epic weight either, even Giant Robo dances circles around a Jaeger. They are probably the least effective weapon to ever wage war on giant monsters ever, it's not even that Kajiu are even that particularly strong in most cases. Jaegers are trying to have awe of super robots while trying to be grounded and it just comes across like they're all fucking terrible at what they do and get their shit wrecked by just one monster. Aesthetically they're not even that interesting looking either, if Makoto Kobayashi redesigned all the Jaegers maybe their designs could be salvaged. I have no idea why so many people like Pacific Rim so much

>>22616987
Objectively correct post
I think some of what you describe about Jaegers and why people like them is tied to them being made by us burgerstanis. It's Americans who unironically like giant robots trying to go full throttle but still being held back by their own autism and efforts to sell those robots to the larger US market which is so deathly allergic to robots.

Is there a single western comic that isn't just miseryporn? Why the fuck is everything I see about IDW transformers so wretched and depressing?

>>22634702
I'll let you in on a little secret: Transformers is not quite mecha fiction and is in fact mecha skinned western superhero fiction. It's about a bunch of colorful individuals with unique powers (who are infinitely reused and recycled in stories retold ad infinitum) who fight each other in long and convoluted duels. Naturally therefore the comics are mostly drama and also fujobait.

>>22634702
It's just something inherent to the series. You can go back to the 1984 movie and see how they wiped a good chunk of the original cast to make room for new characters. Don't even get started on the Micheal Bay movies.


What were they thinking releasing this crap?<br>The only pleasant thing is the credits music

And yet the staff abandoned the project just because they were bored with it. It didn't bomb or anything.

Is she still as sassy as she was in the show?

>>22613347
Akito would have fucked her a long time ago if that's true

Nadesico would have easily been an 8/10 show if they hadn't gone overboard with comedy. Sure, there are some good moments, but making the Jovian Lizards be colonists larping to Getter Robo religion is where they crossed the line. It's not even funny, it's super retarded

By the time they wanted to make it more serious tone, nobody gave a shit anymore

>>22613105
i just watched this last night, when i was watching it i was having a blast <s>until the ending struck.</s>
people say the tone is off but that's just a lie, the humor and quips are just as fast paced in the movie as in that original anime. i think the biggest problem with the movie really is the lack of an ending, the base premise for the drama being largely skipped over, and just how much of a wet-fart the movie turned out being. <s>the character redesigns also suck and i really don't like izumi, ruri or ryoko's new look but that's just me.</s>
if this had really been the first part of a trilogy or something it probably would've been fine, assuming the would-be sequels gave a proper conclusion to the story, but its not and what we have instead is something unfinished.
blank of 3 years was a great nadesico sequel and it had everything i wanted from what a sequel should've looked like. but it doesn't really explain anything in the movie since the vn itself is so stand-alone.

I thought the Dreamcast game also ended on a cliffhanger.

>>22613866
Yeah then she dates main protag who became her manager for her VA career in Blank of 3 Years who then turned out to be a woman in her route and only in her route for whatever mindfuck reason.

I will take Rayearth over Nadesico anyday even though I didn't like the show that much since it was aiming for school girls.
Aestavalis are ugly and useless and emo Akito is cringe.

I'd say it's because of the Black Sarena and Captain Ruri.
>>22614421
It's a good thing you told us you hate Rayearth. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known.

I hope the Gekiganger 3 OVA eventually gets a new scan, it's a really fun little thing and it's a shame it never got a proper scan like the show and film.

>>22613773
i haven't played it yet but from what I hear its not the case.
>>22613873
you can still marry megumi as a man, i'm not entirely sure what the criteria is but depending on some dialogue decision you're quietly turned into a woman or stay as a man.
<s>i think izumi is the only character that outright rejects you and then goes to play ukulele on an iceberg. for some reason the other two mecha pilots have unavoidable bad endings that are BEYOND meanspirited.</s>
its extra surprising you can even romance that one loli that shows up near the end of the show whose name escapes me.

>>22613866
>I meant Ruri.
>Is she still as sassy as she was in the show?
Absolutely not. She's boring not to mention not cute at all.

>>22613196
That still doesn't explain the radical shift.

>>22613105
it was some multi-media thing where games would recreate and fill in the gaps from the show and movie and beyond

>>22613105

Retrospectively, Akito getting experimented on and being turned into an edge lord was such a massive mistake.

But they just couldn't let Yurika and him ever get together on-screen and live a happy life together.

>>22616255
Then what's the point in making her the main character if you're gonna remove what made her good?

>>22613105
"We have Ayanami Rei at home"

>>22616974
Didn't this movie actually another loli that isn't Ruri? I always forget that she exists.

Had some really awesome animation too and mechanical design. I desperately want a model kit of this but it's probably never gonna happen, Bandai or Koto pls.

>>22613393
>making the Jovian Lizards be colonists larping to Getter Robo religion is where they crossed the line. It's not even funny, it's super retarded
It's silly, retarded and obviously played for laughs a lot, but it's also in-line with the themes of the show.

>>22613584
>people say the tone is off but that's just a lie, the humor and quips are just as fast paced in the movie as in that original anime
Can't say I agree with this at all. The Nadesico TV show is primarily light-hearted and humorous punctuated by dark moments. The movie is the opposite. This isn't necessarily a problem, but it's also that the lead characters for the movie don't work that well. Removing Ruri's sassiness made her very flat, she doesn't have much of a character or arc. Hari is the only real new character and he's almost totally defined through his relationship with Ruri, who is a flatline as mentioned, and the rest of the returning cast from the TV show are still doing their secondary/tertiary roles instead of being expanded upon.

What you're left with is a pretty generic mecha action movie. Well animated, but the plot is pretty throwaway- it's one big roundup of the crew that ends with Ruri just single handedly shutting down the bad guy fortress with her cyber hax. If they had gotten more entries maybe it could've developed into something more, but that just means they didn't think to make the first entry interesting enough on its own to hook you.

>>22616270
>Retrospectively, Akito getting experimented on and being turned into an edge lord was such a massive mistake.
To be fair, it's not unrealistic based on the logic of even the TV show, every time Akito or the crew of the Nadesico tried to force cartoon morality into real life it blew up in their face. Choosing not to destroy the Boson Jump unit was another short-sighted decision on their part and it was only a matter of time before one of the two sides either got their hands on it or one of the jumpers and ruined their life.

>>22617168
>The Nadesico TV show is primarily light-hearted and humorous punctuated by dark moments.
Ruri lost her sass, this is completely true, but have you seen that movie recently? Every scene in it has joke after joke, either tucked away in the background or launched from one into the other. Just to name a few gags on the top of my head...
>The children wrestling over the pop-up display when everything is going haywire at the start of the movie.
>The old extremist couple just sitting down in uniform as their compatriots
>Hikaru forcing everyone to work on her manga before she joins the crew again.
>The entire arcade scene.
>Goto popping up out from hiding in the grave during the graveyard scene, taking the entire block of stone with him.
>The Martian Successors using shoujo manga to unravel the secrets of boson jumping.
>The explanation scene from Inez
>ALL of Jun and that one young high-school girl's shared screen time were presented comically.
>Izumi and Hikaru reenacting old sci-fi anime scenes in their seats while fellow passengers look at them in mild bewilderment.
>The head engineer's "battle-scars"
I do agree that most of the cast didn't grow or change much in the story, and at worst had two lines of dialogue, but to say the tone was off doesn't sit right with me. The movie itself isn't that much different than, say, the episode where Yurika blows up an entire refugee camp and copes about it for maybe an episode or two before being resolved and never brought up again. (With jokes still interrupting the drama).

>>22616270

>>22617242
Samefagging from 22617917 since i saw that.
having seen this movie last year with a buddy I can confirm that yeah its pretty tonally consistent with the TV show, the real issues the movie has is that its just kinda too rushed to set up future plot points and Ruri can't carry a show in a lead role. It should've focused on making a good independent movie first and a media empire second, but even in the show you could tell they really wanted to create a media empire.
Nadesico will always be one of my favorite mecha series for what it means to me in both of my relationships i've been apart of, and while I'm happy for SRW existing, I feel like people don't go back and rewatch the series enough, it's an entirely different show on that second watch, likewise with the movie.

>>22617852
>no it's everyone else who is wrong not me

>>22623387
nope, you gotta learn japanese. i don't think its ever going to be translated because of both how obscure and text-heavy it is.
>>22623412
well, in the case of ryoko <s>in her route its found out that you're actually an artificial lifeform created as a countermeasure to the jovian's dwindling population. she gives out a heartfelt confession to you and cries about how much you mean to her not caring that you're not a real human, having fought together and lived alongside each other for a good chunk of the route beforehand. you're also her first relationship, ever, and its not just an unrequited crush so she's extra clingy even before this; sleeping by your side and taking care of you while you were unconscious after piloting gekiganger v and nearly blowing up. the protagonist is forced to enter a pod (alongside his former artificial lover, who he killed a few minutes beforehand in self defense) in order to fulfil his duty in saving his kind. after comforting ryoko one last time and watching her fly away in her mecha, he enters his pod and closes it as all the lights in the facility and its source of power begin to shut down. you get your sad credits montage, and if you stick around to the very end there's a small piece of bonus dialogue in which you see the protagonist muttering ryoko's name over and over again in the darkness.</s>
the actual outcomes of the ending is just as ambiguous as it sounds by the way. i don't know why they did this to her and im not even a big ryoko fan.

Tatsunoko alone has made 10 versions of the trope just for Time Bokan as a franchise. Leopard (Yatterman Night) and Bimajo (Time Bokan 24) are the latest.

I'm guessing you don't like Flash's heavier shoujo artstyle?

>>22625851
I like the more substantial proportions of Shin

Are there any /m/ girls you had a crush on when you were younger, and do you still have a crush on them?

>>22606988
lol man i forgot how the mecha are also just bursting with T&A
love shizuru though.

>>22608401
idunno i think she's pretty sexy.
really fun to be around too i bet

>>22603842
Any mecha yanderes in the house?

Speaking of blonde hair >>22624907

>>22630745
>completely neglected that blonde bombshell for whatever reason, even though OG Honey is already super pretty and there's nothing wrong with her show
Flash looks like it might be top tier in terms of design though, although all of them are appreciable in their own way

>>22629736
Allenby has been my waifu since I was like 11.

>>22630681
All I can think of is a male one, sorry.

>>22617410
The funny part is that they were all originally intended to be the same person before the Shigino OVAs.

>>22635089
What’s she from? Sauce and google bring up nothing.

>>22635243
E.X. Troopers, that lost planet spinoff game they did but decided not to localize.

>>22635599
Wew
If there's something like this in any of her shows then I will start prioritizing Honey way more

>>22635661
It gets even better.

>>22635708
Honey was never that shy in the show so far, but this is some next level fanservice

>>22635725
Man you haven't seen anything yet

>>22635730
Wait what, is that still her
>episode 1

>>22635739
I don't know how to feel about the dub, but this looks cheaper yet better-animated, but also gives the impression that people who loved it worked on it.
>Gainax
That figures
>Anno
That's... unexpected.
>they just went so ham on the fanservice even in the opening
I have to power through the rest of Cutie Honey to get to this
>just three episodes
Flirtatious blonde robowife deserves better than this

>>22603842
High "Alone on a Friday Night?" energy.

>>22635756
The show is based on a live action movie that Anno directed. Also, Honey is voiced by Jessica Calvello who also voiced her in the dubs for Shin and Universe.

>>22635387
Shame about that. Would’ve liked to give it a try. Also, she’s a cutie.

>>22635781
I believe it has been fan translated.

>>22635769
The girl they got for the live action movie has.. a bit of a chubby face.
Amon sounds more fitting than Honey, but maybe it's something I have to get used to, she sounds a bit more fierce than gently playful. But she does have a bit of a decent range, I guess I was just expecting something else.
>being subjected to a horror show
Hopefully the rest of Universe makes up for this

>>22603842
is it worth watching the show just for her?
is it worth watching ANY tatsunoko show just for the main villainess?

>>22635909
The Time Bokan series are pretty good for those, except Kiramekiman which had to work with modern constraints and a different network that didn't allow things to get as sexy as before.

>>22635769
Love how Nagai himself picked Jessica as Honey's English voice.

>>22637442
>>22637452
Purest maiden. Don't at me. Don't try to argue. This is major plot point.

AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE L

doing all that for some gunpla promo is torture

Hopefully Tomino's next project is fantasy mecha

>>22619187
The man's 82 and practically admitted he was running on fumes 10 years ago when he did Reconguista. I don't think he has another show left in him anon.

Bastole my beloved, looking amazing as always

>>22618511
why even reanimate scenes if it's just inferior cgi and ends up looking worse

>>22619208
We know he's currently on a project (though it could also be a movie but it seem to be a show) with Akiman at Sunrise.
And he also said there's two other stuff he would like to make, though we don't know what it is

>>22618517
Doing all what? What is torture?

>>22618511
The whole thing looked really good, I assume they use these short "experiments" to train new talents and such, but a show that looks like this would be amazing.

>>22619423
You have to be out of your mind to think this looks bad or inferior to the original series just because it uses CGI.

>>22619496
This one is not a purely Sunrise gig. It's a collab with Kamikaze Douga.
Based on that new Sunrise laboratory thing >>22618879, it seems that Zambot's gonna be next in line.

>>22619522
It doesn't look bad but it does look inferior to the original series. That's a fact anyone with two eyeballs can see.

>>22618511
>AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE L
Dunbine fans just took an L because this is a nothing.

>>22618517
They'll never step on tomino's shoe but tomino will never go back to this I think. You have to wait until the man's dead

not terribly in love with the somewhat clumsy looking robot cgi but i'm absolutely loving the preserved Kogawa characters designs and set pieces. just looks great seeing that alone

>>22618511
Called it, if it wasn’t apparent this was a glorified toy commercial before it is now

>>22622600
Give us an updated Zwauth! I get you'll only release anything not Gundam, Macross or Wataru on P-Bandai alone, but don't leave us stuck with a garbage Zwauth, dammit!

>>22618511
This would be a fun pachinko animation, and they actually payed attention details like hatching used to make the faces more three dimensional and keeping the Inano styled smoke effects. The CGI mecha look way better than most modern TV anime mecha as well. I don't think it exactly lives up to the original, but when so many productions can't even get basic perspective right anymore this is totally fine.

>>22622681
Shhh, don’t give banrise any ideas, then we’ll never escape this pachinko hell rather than “you know” ACUTAL VIDEO GAMES. At least sunrise is getting better at CGI

>>22622781
Dunbine already has a pachinko, It's like 10 years old now.

>>22622781
I doubt that mecha video games could ever be as profitable as pachinko.

>>22618511
Wow. This is probably the worst CGI Sunrise has ever put out.

>>22622781
>At least sunrise is getting better at CGI
they definitely are not

>>22618511
Is it a model kit ad or what?

>>22622609
The usual: background and mecha are done in a different style, which makes the mecha look uncanny.

I remember I once had a dream about a dunbine remake that looked exactly like this, if I've seen it in a dream it must mean we're getting a full series

>>22622681
I think it’s way better to do shit like this and make it free to watch than making it for a fucking slot machine.

Dunbine should've received the compilation movie treatment back then

Damn Wakamoto is starting to sound his age and really tired to boot.

>>22624945
It did, there were three compilation OVAs that came along with the spin off OVA episodes.

>>22618511
Shit. I've been meaning to watch this show but uni work caught up and now I just got spoiled by the vid.
Well it's on me that I didn't watch the show earlier.

The video is pretty cool. Considering how niche the show relatively is now, this is already quite a lot.

>>22625081
the show is really fucking good and the vid didn't spoiled that much
just watch a single episode everytime you eat dinner or lunch in front of your computer, I finished a ton of shows that way when I was doing uni.

Wonder if the songs are old or new recordings. MIQ is still going on strong<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGK<wbr>6L8o775g

>>22623124
Uncanny how? It's a fictional robot that looks like an insect. This overall looks fine.

>>22625081
Just watch it anyway, "spoilers" is bitch mentality.

>>22624962
How did I never hear of these? Knew l.gaim had two but had no idea dunbine had some two.

>>22621102
>Dunbine fan in 2024
Nobody expected them to do anything at all

>>22625150
I've noticed they get mistakenly listed as "specials" on some database sites. Could also be because New Story of Byston Well never got an English release and these are bonus's for it (or the opposite I guess). Which is a shame. I think using BG art for the mecha was an interesting idea and the OVA is actually a solid fantasy romp that gives you more of feel for the world. The 2nd L-Gaim compilation OVA has that fun extra bit of animation at the end, I wonder if these have any extra animation or anything of note?

Tomino's best mother character, now in digital animation

the costume design in dunbine look so fucking ugly i can't
