It doesn't matter how stupid the plot or the premise is, the animation and design work is still unbeatable.

The plot and premise are good

It's also a work of historical precedence, because it was the first shonen to break the record for "biggest tits in manga."

This video is a rough sit since it's feature-length, but the deep dive into manga & anime production and how it tied directly into Japanese politics is very fascinating.

actually just finished watching this, ha. quite pro-click imo

iirc, i first heard of eiken in 2006, and i think i must have been long passed my 'bewbs in cartoons??!?" weeb phase because the show didn't appeal to me at all, even as someone who is quite a fan of big animated gazongas. couldn't even get past the first episode. not to mention it was creepy as poo poo with the little pink haired big boobed chick :barf:

Not with those dumb clavicle antennae, it isn't. Also, having the protagonists' super-mode turn them into blurry red smears whenever they do something cool was an impressively terrible aesthetic decision.

For me, the winners are the Victory-2, the Barbatos, the Turn A, the FA-78, and the Unicorn, with the God, Nu, and Double-X being honourable mentions. They've all got strong, clean, and unique designs that clearly convey their concept and personality without too much extraneous kibble.

I originally watched it with some friends while we were still in high school, so we were the intended demographic. We did not get the appeal of it at all. If teenage boys oozing hormones don't get the appeal of your ecchi comedy then it's totally and utterly failed.

I mean, of course the appeal isn't to actual teenagers if the author's tastes are anything to go by. :aatrek:

Technically, the Unicorn also has switchblade swords. It's why its forearms are so bulky. They make Destroy Mode look much more frenzied and animalistic, which is rad.

i do like the unicorn too it’s true. like the regular x more than the double x tho I think the angled cannon when stored is a better look than the twin battle one on the double

The Double X's big meaty chest gatlings are cool, and the golden satellite receiver panels folding out like the rays of the sun give it a really striking silhouette and a proper vibe of divine wrath. It's a very practical, functional design (right down to the clear cockpit for the pilot just in case the cameras fail/get shot off), but it's also something a little bit otherworldly.

The problem is that it's not flatteringly chunky like the Thunderbolt FA-78 (the extra-bulky skirt armour in particular makes it look like it's wearing a gigantic diaper), and the green and orange colour scheme is ghastly.

Laid Back Camp! The one issue is that the goal they are progressing towards is just "enjoy camping", but they do make significant progress as they acquire more experience and gear. Other than that, it's exactly what your friend wants

Ooof that's a hard type to fill bud.


Literally the only thing that comes to mind are Slice of Life stuff like Bartender or Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō but neither of those have an actual end goal. Maybe Death Parade?
