Was Eureka Seven really popular or something, that they keep going back to this show? (Despite all of the followups being badawful?)

It was pretty popular at the time yeah, back when mecha shows still could be (just about).

Was Eureka AO really that bad? Never had the chance to watch it yet but I hear so many mixed reviews.

I don't even remember specific moments or reasons why I hated AO so much, such was the rejection my brain wanted to make of that show. I do remember it being real jerks to anything actually related to the original and the main villain being really bad. Didn't it also have a literal retcon cannon that made the whole thing pointless by the end as well?

In fact, your babies will turn to stone for even trying." And there's a literal unkillable villain that chases the cast for most of the series and only a literal retcon universe gun can stop him.

AO was basically sheer ineptitude and wasted plot points from start to finish, capped off by Eureka's Poisoned Womb and Retcon Cannon. Also remember how Renton adopted a trio of kids? Because AO sure doesn't.

I have never seen a show so willing or eager to sacrifice literally every interesting story element or plot development it had as AO was. It was almost impressive how much commitment it had to taking the most boring, undramatic, anti-story path possible at every chance.

also the show literally ends via the main character shooting his problems until they retroactively cease to exist, so, yeah lot of, uh, interesting subtext to unpack there

My favorite part was where the have an ongoing plot thread involving TheEND being kept in secret and then it randomly gets blown up for no reason and nobody cares.

E7 AO juggled a billion plot threads and character arcs and didn't forget any of them. It just so happens that the conclusion for a whole lot of them was "the plot device explodes/the character stops existing" with a side dish of "the character is ineffectual and achieves nothing". It's almost impressive how unsatisfying all of it is.

So I guess this is a thing. Anime News Network posted:A ground-breaking new collaboration, titled the "Miracle Robot Force", was announced to celebrate the 40th anniversaries of four different mecha anime broadcast between 1976 and 1977. The anime production companies Eiken, Wako, and Nippon Animation will cross boundaries to commemorate the shows UFO Senshi Daiapolon, Chogattai Majutsu Robot Ginguiser, Gasshin Sentai Mechander Robo, and Blocker Corps IV: Machine Blaster. The collaboration began on April 3 and is planned to last for around one year. It doesn't seem to be leading to any actual new animation, but how often is Ginguiser in the news? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...t-force/.114294

If I didn't know which one was Mechander I would have pegged it for some sort of bizarre Combattler parody.

First episode opens with aliens or whatever wrecking the earth, voiceover says "Earth's greatest defenders were defeated" and you see in silhouette famous robots getting destroyed, then it's up to these four robots that were held in stasis or whatever on Mars or whatever because nobody thought they'd be needed.

The Majestic Prince movie has been subbed and is on nyaa now. It was a lot of fun! It had the same comedic style as the tv show and the action was really good. If you enjoyed the show you should def. check it out.

It's very much a movie sequel, though. A major but relatively self-contained threat that doesn't greatly alter the overall plot. Definitely feels like setup for a full sequel series.

I'm in a robot kinda mood, are either Buddy Complex or Break Blade worth watching (and for BB movies or tv show)? The one thing I know about Buddy Complex is it was literally written by committee which doesn't exactly inspire confidence, and a friend of mine wasn't very impressed with Break Blade, but should I give either a shot?

I found both pretty boring, of the two Break Blade is probably the better since the promise is fairly interesting, I've only seen the OVA series not TV though.
