It's very "Gundam Breaker with a lot of serial numbers filed off," yes. There's gameplay and stuff, and it plays well enough. The writing is kind of bad, though. The character designs used to be terrible, but they got a facelift and are now less terrible.

Just keep in mind that the parts you use don't have a lot of mechanical effect, because the intent was that you should be able to make whatever rad robot you wanted without having to worry about "oh no these arms are powerful but they don't match my aesthetic" issues, which has obvious ups and downs here. There is customizing that impacts how your robot plays, but that's unrelated to how it looks.

Can you make a big chunky Mazinger or is it only sleek Late UC robos?

It's pretty much just real robot designs, of the UC/CE Gundam flavor. Most of the parts boil down to Gundam, RGM or Zeon knockoffs.

e: There is one set of parts that somewhat resembles the Man Rodi/Gusion from IBO, I guess.

That's a shame still looks cool.

I mean I've seen some pretty crazy customs done over in the /m/ threads like some really good Getter Robos and such so probably possible to do a Mazinger

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
So after realizing I remembered literally nothing about Betterman I started rewatching it, and I really forgot everything. Especially how kind of ugly this series is.

I like Betterman solely through the nostalgia of being 10 and seeing it on Tech TV and being blown away that this cartoon was the weird amalgamation of every fictional idea I liked; robots, giant monsters and super powers

Same, it also felt way smarter than it probably was because they kept talking about sciency things that would mostly go over my head.

The only subs I could find for it were cropped in a truly bizarre way which didn't help matters much.

Gridman was awesome, and I can already see how it's going to be used in SRW and I expect it to be a favorite unit. I binged Dynazenon afterwards and while the robot stuff was a little less cool to me (totally subjective, I know) the character stuff was way more interesting. I loved the way each character had a robust life outside of what was happening with the robot stuff. Not really a topic for this thread, but when Dynazenon eventually makes it in I expect the combiner shenanigans will be fun And Gridknight is baller in both series, just gotta say.

Yeah I love dynazenon. My only real complaint with it is that I wish Chise got a bit more.

I agree, and I thought she was going to go in a very different direction based on the opening During the OP there's a scene where she's on a black background and what looks like that red V-shape that was on Alexis' chest in Gridman shows up behind her. I figured she might take a villainous turn, but I'm also glad she didn't because honestly she's super pure as it is.

I hope SRW does what it does best and expands some of these character roles!

S in all environments poo poo yeah.

I was watching Gunbuster yesterday and thinking about SRW and I really hope they do a complete reboot at some point and throw the current trend of the animations and music being closer and closer to the anime in reverse and reclaim the mindset they had when the technology meant that that wouldn’t be possible anyway. That’s my unicorn dream for the series right now anyway.
Edit: and way way more attacks that look like the Final Dankuu hou in Z2

Music is part of it. I liked how MX used the ending music for Mazinger and Getter etc.

Even that level of variation seems to be part of the past for SRW.

I feel like part of it's got to be that with so many other concurrent anime and older mecha anime to compete with for headspace, newer anime EDs aren't in iconic in the same way that the classics got to be. There are plenty I'd love to hear in SRW, though.

Wonder if they made it that big just so it'd be 3L sized, so they could have another XXX thing for 30.

If anything i imagine the og battleship being so distinct (and existing because og battleships arent actually that common) is to make up for the lack of a battleship series like yamato or harlock

Yeah I know, I just meant since 3L is XXXL, it's another reference to 30, like the XXX on the Huckebein's face.
Also Shin Dragon is huge.
