I wish there were more mecha novels/light novels. Are there even any, aside from the Gundam novels and Full Metal Panic?

There's a handful but outside of Robotech and Battletech most novels involving mecha don't get bigger than basic power armor

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
If anyone would like to watch, I'm streaming SRW Alpha Gaiden right now.

EDIT: Would anyone happen to know the best sound plugin for emulating Alpha Gaiden, I'm going bonkers from the slowdown.


Was a mostly good stream, it would have been better had the emulator not hosed up for like 2 hours. I'll be continuing tomorrow and we're finally getting out of AGs extended prologue.

It's from a DLC mission. I think it was something like Banjo and Athrun were intentionally put in charge of all the horndog dudes for a patrol because they were being jealous about the two of them getting all the ladies? And by the end of the mission they are all bros again because Arthrun risked his life for them or something along those lines.

Playing SD Spirits. It's fun and cool but I have a question: are Haro points determined entirely by what units you kill? Is there any other way to get them?

Also I love the narration and the story segments. I think I understand the plots when playing this better than I do when I watch the anime.

Haro points are determined by the amount of damage you inflict. If you inflict overwhelming damage to the enemy units, it'll help increase the Haro points. There isn't any other way that I'm aware of.

It shut down extremely abruptly in mid-stream, which makes me think it was a heating thing. It came back on fine afterward but I did give it some cooldown time. It should be fine and I'll be getting heating issues looked at later next week.

The rest of that interview came out and it has some great gems in it (and also a whole lot more Fate chat I'm barely familiar at all with). I'll get to the full version eventually, but here are some highlights.

quote:

Q: You talked earlier about not giving Gundam weapons to Mazinger Z. Are there other lines you try not to cross in SRW?
Terada: It's tricky doing cross-series pilot swapping. Could Amuro Ray pilot Mazinger Z? Personally, I think someone with Amuro's level of experience in handling humanoid mobile weapons could do it. But is that a line I want to cross? That's harder to answer.
Terada: It would be great if we did it, of course. There are so many amazing possibilities you could get from throwing different characters into the Eagle, Jaguar, and Bear from Getter Robo.
Nasu: It would rule if you could put Amuro, Char, and Haman in Getter Robo!
Terada: You could go either way with it too, treating it as a gag or taking it totally seriously. Oh no, something's going on, and the only robot that happens to be on hand for Amuro, Char, and Haman is Getter Robo. Contrive a scenario around that idea, and you could make it work. The only question there is, do Char or Haman yell "OPEN GET!" when separating? Personally, if it were up to me, they totally would. (laughs)

quote:

Terada: I only met with Director Hideaki Anno once like twenty years ago, and when I did, he had two requests for me. The first was: "I'd like you to put Char in EVA Unit 02." "But I thought only 14 year olds could pilot Evangelions." "....Oh yeah" (laughs) The second was to have Bright "correct" Shinji, which I did in SRW F. Shinji says "Even my father never hit me!" while Amuro looks on awkwardly. (laughs)

quote:

Q: Do you have any parting words of encouragement for each other?
Terada: Mr. Nasu, I wish you'd make a mecha anime.
Nasu: If I ever got a major shot at it, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Q: Anything for Mr. Terada from you, Mr. Nasu?
Nasu: Hurry up and put out the fourth Double G. That's actually all I came here today to tell you. (laughs)
Terada: Whoa, uh, okay. (laughs) I've got some ideas.

Full interview is here.
