Is that the coin sword from Giant Robo OVA?
Dunno, its called the Sanada Hiken, I thought just a reference to Yukimura (it evolved from a roll of six coins) but maybe more.

I'm pretty sure coin swords are one of those Chinese fantasy magic things that sometimes show up in wuxia and related genres. I think I remember the production commentary for episode 7 mentioning that Imagawa brought one back from Hong Kong?

I mean, we've kind of run out of aliens to keep out of trailers/press releases already. We kind of need a new one to step up.

"We have a new spin on an old favourite called Catharsis Mode! Now you can watch attack animations with different pilots without having to actually play a stage in this updated Exhibition mode! Unfortunately the only punching bag we could find is everyone's favourite dunderhead Mist Rex! Of course everyone spent a long time in the studio so all the characters have lots of line berating him!"

What I actually really want is Michiru's equivalent of Nuke and Mucha.

If they do get around to creating such characters, I only ask that they be as cool as Michiru is. Even if that means they learn like 4 spirit commands at level 99 to offset things.

good game overall and the story ruled too, even if SEED and Zambot were pretty much pointless throughout

at least banjou got to do something

Eventually they can get their own robots and they can do a combo attack called the 8-7-10 Beat and now Michiru and his crew are Boss/Nuke/Mucha and Banjo/Watta/Kappei. Bancho Haran???????

The Alpha Gaiden animations for the Masoukishin and SRX units are amazing, it's too bad the units themselves are kinda bad.

Yamato has opened the possibilities for non mecha series. So I nominate Outlaw Star, because big rear end spaceships with arms are rad.

Tekkaman at least has human-shaped robots or robot-like things. (I mean technically Evangelions aren't robots either but you know.) Yamato's just got carriers and spaceships. That said the carriers have always been a big part of SRW so I think it's easier to imagine a carrier-dominated series compared to like Cowboy Bebop (which was in Sunrise Heroes for example)

I mean, we said that about Moon Dwellers, and then V came out and a shitload of people bought it. No numbers, but I have anecdotal evidence of a ton of English-speaking fans all bought V (who never imported SRW before) including people who are new to the series. Just look at this thread, for starters.

I'm hopeful.
