ImpAtom posted:The funny thing about that eyecatch is that though it's hard to see most of the text is stolen from old X-Men comics. There's like Magneto ranting about Asteroid M in one of them I figured they had to have taken it from something, and knowing the exact source just makes it even more fantastic.

Clawshrimpy posted:Because in essence, Children are generally better people than adults are. The new generation has more freedom and better clarity than the old. And yet you hate Tomino / Gundam. Also jumping back a bit. G-stone, spiral energy, and life fibers are all literally the same thing: the power of evolution made manifest. That's why Guy becomes an Evoluder. It's right there in the name. Of course the others are all referencing Getter, so everything is super similar.

Clawshrimpy posted:Because for intents and purposes, Kamille didn't act much better than the adults he railed against. That's part of the point. The oder generation leave their grudges to the younger, which causes them to repeat the same mistakes. Also, next Da Garn will probably be tomorrow.

Da Garn is fun but really takes off once you get Sevenchanger hanging around because Sevenchanger is the best of all Yuusha machines. And he's voiced by Koyasu.

If you think the Getter is horrifying in Go, please keep reading (also read what came behind). Getter reaches cosmic horror level, and it is wonderful. I seriously wish we got a true adaptation of the Getter Robo manga, with an actual ending written by a shaman channeling Ken Ishikawa's spirit. Is this too much to ask, world?!

I think the closest thing we could ever have gotten to that would be an alternate universe where Imagawa wasn't booted from Armageddon's production. Or at least, it would be an adaption that would have Getter Rays more in line with the manga.

It was necessary for fleshing out what they were fighting since it was less simple than saying "underground dinosaur empire". Also can someone who knows about foley tell me what Giant Robo's grunt is? Its a fantastic sound, I love it.

I'm seriously pissing myself at the notion that anyone can be a hero if they 'thought positive thoughts'. That's simultaneously the most meaningless characteristic possible and somehow the most evil thing too. Like, the Nazis thought they were thinking positive thoughts. They were had super positive thoughts about fascism!

Clawshrimpy I know Tomino killed your parents or something, but personally I think you should watch Turn A Gundam. None of the characters could really be called jerks (maybe that one convict) and both sides are very sympathetic. There isn't any "black and black morality" like other Gundam shows. I think it'd be interesting to see what you think of a good Gundam show if you removed the black and black morality complaint.

Beef Waifu posted:I don't even know where to start New Getter Robo is definitely the closest to the original manga. It doesn't follow the original plotline, it changes the title robot and one of the main characters, as well as making minor alterations to the other two (such as raising their age and modernizing their backgrounds somewhat), and has an entirely unique plot; but it nails the feeling of the manga. It's hard to explain, it's by no means faithful to the paper but it's faithful to the spirit. After that, I'd suggest trying Armaggeddon, it isn't bad at all but it does have its flaws and feels like it's a second part of something despite its first part only coming after the second. The best Getter thing is still definitely the manga though, and I wholeheartedly recommend it beyond anything else, but New is an easier starting point and still really loving awesome. Sakurazuka posted:Which Getter manga should I have read? All, in order. It's a continuous plot, you can't just start anywhere! Apart from...Apocrypha, I think, that is separate from the rest, all form an intense narrative that is very much worth your while. And it only gets more and more insane as it goes on. Clawshrimpy posted:I just feel I couldn't do so out of sheer principle because of how I feel about Zeta, Victory, Zambot 3, etc. Dude, what the gently caress. I didn't like Zeta either and I still watched Turn-A and I loved it. It is a completely different beast, written by a Tomino that was in an entirely different state of mind. Tomino isn't just "kill 'em all", you know. He has a lot of far more upbeat series. Hell, just check the currently running G-Reco.
