I don't think Wing has the punch necessary to do any real damage to Big O unless it gets to sit there firing at it unimpeded for a minute or so. On the other hand, I don't know that Big O could hit Wing Zero with any move it has, so I say stalemate. But that would be boring, so Big O does that move in, I think, SRW Z and pulls Wing in with one of it's anchors, gears up for Giant Impact, swings, but Wing manages to fire the beam rifle right at one of Big O's joints causing the arm to come off. The arm, mid swing, flies off, hits the beam cannon and breaks it. Both the robots are critically harmed when Emperor Gore takes the opportunity to destroy them both, and the Getter Team is still 15 minutes away. What possible hope could there be for their survival? paragon1 posted:Big O, because the way these series are written Heero and Roger Smith would meet in person like halfway into it, and Heero would have to run for his Gundam while Roger would be all "BIG O, IT'S SHOWTIME" and then Heero would get stepped on. This is also pretty good.

KoB posted:What part of it doesnt make sense? Ashura was the seal to summoning Hades back, killing the badguy allowed him to kill himself, undoing the seal. Imagawa can be goofy on some things but he is aces at making sure that all the pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly. I think the main reason I enjoy Imagawa's writing is that he's one of the few people that can make a mystery box type of show where the ~mystery~ is both compelling and well planned out. Right from the beginning he knows what the details of the mystery are gonna be, and even when he has to do an infodump he knows how to make it interesting. Sadly there's not a lot of people that can do either. Nevermind both. It's a shame that his current writing project is just a manga adaption (Gifu Doudu or however it's spelled. The one based on a manga by the Fist of the North Star artist. Sadly, the writer of the FotNS manga isn't involved). I feel like being part of a show that's a direct adaption of a manga is a misuse of his talents. Especially since IIRC this is the first thing he's worked on since Shin Mazinger. But I suppose it pays the bills. Clawshrimpy posted:Still awful inconclusive cliffhangers are a lovely way to ensure people keep reading, reguardless of whether the story is good or not.

By the way, Clawshrimpy, did you know that instead of quoting people individually, you can hit Post, and then scroll down to press the Quote button on individual posts and include them all into the same post? It's a handy feature, to be sure! No need to thank me, by the way, just doing my part to help a newbie goon. Welcome to the Something Awful forums, and don't forget to lurk!

GaoGaiGar Final came out two years after the last episode of GaoGaiGar aired, and that's perfectly fine, right? But making people wait an entire month between Mazinger Z's ending and the start of Great Mazinger? That's like 30 whole days! Nobody can wait that long!

Not to mention that FINAL took about 3 years for all 8 episodes to come out. Not as nuts as Giant Robo's 6 years but 3 years is still quite a lot of time! Makes me quite glad that I wasn't watching GGG as it was getting fansubbed, that's for sure. (Also the GaoGaiGar sequel was cancelled but I'm sure that doesn't count because ~reasons~)

Holy poo poo, within this sea of talk of the " The Punch heard around the world!" I wasn't able to see if that Dragon's heaven manga was the right one that one guy was looking for? Was it? Also, for anyone following this thread and have not seen Gaogaigar please don't let this horrible and pointless discussion deter you from enjoying a great show. In fact, watch enough of it and you eventually get to see two giant robots decimate the genitals of an artificial god! Watch Gaogaigar, it's fun!
