I then watched GR Armageddon, which was really good, although it had some real wtf moments (like them seeing the wormhole in the last episode and immediately being like "we must go there and fight eternally". ummm how do you know that) It's less "know" and more "want". It's what happens when your team is made out of sociopaths, of course they will be at their happiest in endless bloodshed, and they're given the chance to have exactly that. They won't say no.

New Mazinger Z film trailer dropped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xNOH5QfHQk The new Mazinger Z Movie looks interesting. I'm curious which universe this takes place in. I have no idea who the blonde girl is unless its their take on Minerva.

Season 2 already pretty much ended with an Evil Voltron, just by virtue of it being humanoid and Voltron-sized, since the show has no other robots than Voltron and almost no other humanoids period since there were only ever a couple of Robeasts.

I'm just saying, I'm a third of the way through the season and they've introduced a team of five bad guys who just got a Voltron sized lump of the stuff Voltron is made of.

That they've made into clearly the top half of a robot! Honestly, I'm pretty sympathetic to Lotor. He seems smart, compassionate, and like he wants to build a decent Federation. There's the question of what happens if you don't want to be in his group, but by comparison to the government he offers, Voltron is a single military unit whose entire platform and M.O. is "gently caress the Galra."

So that explains the aesthetic of the Metal Build Mazinger Z, and why they're making a Metal Build at all given the sheer amount of other diecast posable figure merch that exists for the various designs.

Giant humanoids are pretty much the least practical vehicle designs, and giant humanoids that spend most of their time in space are even more so. By embracing and exaggerating that impracticality (it's not just a warship shaped like a great big metal knight, it's a great big metal knight made out of great big metal lions), Voltron stands out amidst a universe full of more conventional sci-fi designs as something otherworldly - not a simple weapon, but an ancient god of war.

Space is actually probably the best place for humanoid vehicles if the four limbs are used to move thrusters for fine positioning. Obviously they don't need to be giant and it would still be hugely impractical, but space would be where they work the best.

Or you know, using your limbs to orient yourself in a way that doesnt expend propellant as is the premise for mobile suits.

Ideon did it, and the Evangelions and RahXephon were short on humanoid enemies, even if they did show up on occasion.

Thank you very much. Part of me wants to check out the LNs but... I dunno. In the past every attempt I've made at getting into Novels has been disappointing, while anime/mangas of the series have been enjoyable. I guess I'm just not much of an LN type of guy. Hooray, I was worried they'd try to end it by killing off Sagara instead of resolving it or something, so hearing that those two hooked up is extremely nice

Dolores, I has the animation budget of a sponge but it genuinely is an honestly touching well-done story with a nonstandard protagonist, some really creative takes on common mecha tropes, and Koyasu as the main villain in full ham-it-the-gently caress-up mode. Also it has an entire episode which is literally Die Hard for no reason. Not similar-to-die-hard, Literally Die Hard.

Then you find out WHY it does and it's just all sorts of hosed up. Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The Dolores, I dub is absolutely magical because it's ADV in full "if we can't voice good we can still voice lots" mode. Nothing quite like the first four or so episodes subbing and dubbing it as "Orbital Flame" instead of "Orbital Frame" to show just how much effort they were putting into it.

Whoa, holy poo poo. A third season of the main storyline could be pretty awesome! FMP was one of those shows that nailed just about every strikezone for me at the time. Being a Front Mission nerd immediately got me into the smaller scale of the mecha here. I dug the slice of life episodes, and I liked the longer arcs. I got a HUGE kick out of Souske essentially being Kid Solid Snake, with all the awkwardness and hilarity that could entail in the setting. The Second Raid kinda weirded me out when it first released. It wasn't bad, it was actually pretty cool in a lot of ways. It felt super rushed though, and something about the animation throughout the series just felt... off. Everything about the show felt... off. Maybe it was deliberate, there's a lot of unsettling things that happen throughout it. Maybe it was a budget thing. I dunno. Fumoffu, though, is a loving treasure and should be preserved in a capsule for future generations. I'm glad to see it coming back. Between this and Left Alive acting as a pseudo revival of Front Mission, I'm feeling really nostalgic at the moment

I started watching Xabungle, and I like it. It's got all of the Tomino stuff that I like. Little uncommented on character stuff, like when the big guy goes to shake Jiron's hand but then remembers his right arm is injured, and then slightly embarrassedly switches to the left hand. It's just a little touch that makes them feel more like real people. Characters doing cool stuff in an uncool way. There's a hostage tied to a tree. In other mecha shows, I feel like the guy in the robot would save them by cutting the ropes with their robot sword, or maybe jumping out of the robot and untying them under fire. Jiron just rips the tree out of the ground and jams it hostage side first into the cockpit so he can free her in safety. But then has to climb over the tree so he can actually see what's going on outside. and of course, characters just doing random, sometimes contradictory poo poo because it fits the character. Basically everything Cargo has done so far. She does what feels right to her in the moment, and every decision she makes makes sense on that level The one problem is that all the robots are ugly. They're all terrible. The regular Walker Machines, fine, it makes sense they're ugly. They're like sci-fi fork lifts, why would they look cool. But the Xabungle is the worst. It transforms into a sports car pulling a U-Haul.
