I wussed out and restarted in Beginner Mode with Moon Dwellers because the SR points were too difficult. I’m so ashamed.

I'm really curious about how Wataru is handled in this game. I heard that there's a tie in with the beastmen from Gurren Lagaan. I grew up in Machine Euyden Wataru and I love to the plucky sidekicks and their antics. I'm hoping for more liberties with storylines because it plays up the crossover element other then super robots fighting real grunts, lol. I was surprised at the Evangelion mission in Alpha3 where Gendo decides "gently caress it! I'll fullfil the profacy myself!" and Shinji actually says no to his dad. And you end up with Gendo in a clone Unit 1 plus Clone Eva army vs. Shinji and his Super Robot aniki's. Also the Gunbuster ending getting changed because they're not alone in their fight. Stuff like that makes me super happy to play SRW games. Also everything involving Bontakun.

There's a lot of series melding going on in this leg of the game. It's pretty good. The bad guys are teaming up pretty much every stage, so heroes are trading villains and pep talking each other up constantly. And I have no idea what this Wataru thing that involved Buddy Complex was meant to be originally. The N-Nautilus seems like it's going to be an extremely ace-class ship.

Or the whole process of recruiting Glemy will boil down to "make sure Char/Amuro/Judau/Roux/Haman/et. al dunks on this punk-rear end bitch every time you get a chance." The comedy option is naturally Beecha, of course. Ok, but does he have the Genius trait?

I'm just gonna put this here as another example of "Everyone can join except Cima"... I mean, unless Mask is actually a pretty nice guy, but given he's a Char not named Harry Ord or Schwartz Bruder, I doubt that.

this kind of undercuts something i've recently realized, and it's this: despite everything wrong with Cross Ange and its utterly overdoing shock factor to the point where half of the internet pretty much denounced it immediately, and every other totally legitimate criticism about how things went too far the fact that it has themes like this around Ange and Tusk and interactions that reinforce it actually pretty much pushes it very likely to one the top 10 mecha anime this decade. Not necessarily because that's some great virtue, but like. Uh, we've gotten a ton of stuff just...devoid, of anything, and almost universally the big smash hit sequels turned out to be awful so this has been just, a really rough set of years for robots. like uh. okay, we seriously need to see if we can come up with more than 9 mecha shows in the 2010s that had a better executed story than Cross Ange. IBO, Kuromukuro, ID-0, Gargantia, maybe Lagrange...already I'm reaching for the much messier ones like Reconguista and Sidonia and I still need two more.

Yeah I guess I'd count that kinda. I dunno, it just registers in my head as 'a sports anime, but with gundam branding' since its themes and pacing and weight are more like that.

Mask's deal in G Reconguista was a bit weird and I don't blame him for what happened. I'm willing to give him a break given he was apparently part of a group of people that used to be eaten and is treated as subhuman sometimes. That was a really weird and unnecessary plot point honestly.

We're going to have one of the biggest mech seasons in years this spring, and Trigger's got a couple more in the pipe. It's unclear the exact crash to burn ratio we'll be working with, but there's a chance some will be at least decent.

It makes a bit more sense if you look at it from the over-arching theme of the show, which is a warning against letting people who don't know or understand war push for conflict out of a variety of reasons all of which don't take what they're heading for at all seriously in spite of the fact history clearly tells us of exactly what awaits. In the particular case of Mask and co it's about how a lack of taking this history seriously creates prejudice where there should be guilt or caution, and through reinforcing this prejudice and marginalising the victim you're only going to create hate and a new cycle of conflict that wasn't necessary.

I was really excited for this game, especially because of the inclusion of Reconguista in G, but having a new game so quickly after SRW V should have been a telltale sign not to get my hopes up too high. The rushed development really shows with how many of the side character mecha were either cut completely or given poor attack variety. Super Two Attacks Wars X is more like it.

In some cases that low number of attack types might just be because they don't have too many attacks in their respective shows anyway.

TheLastRoboKy posted:In some cases that low number of attack types might just be because they don't have too many attacks in their respective shows anyway. Maybe, but it's not like the SRW team is averse to using improvised attacks as separate weapons in their games. I mean, Beam Confuse is a actually its own separate attack in SRW, and a lot of the units that only have two weapons have special or improvised attacks that could be made into its own unique weapon. A lot of the newcomer units in G-Reco are missing the most basic poo poo as well, like the Gytrash's Beam Sabers and Gaeon's funnels.

I mean, this was also true of V for basically all the side Gundam characters. And Maito's supporting cast. And all the non-Ange Cross Ange people (even the ones who got mid-season upgrades). Hell its true of some main character mechs. Look at Akito's attack list lol, half of it is "the same attack with a different range i guess???"

That's not even as bad as "here are two different weapons in the same attack to cut down on effort and time."

You know, I see gripes like this that cover the whole spectrum— "It's come out way too soon after the last game" (SRW games have been on a yearly cycle for decades) "It's been six months since their last release and they haven't announced anything new yet, is the series dead?" (SRW games typically announce things 3-ish months before release) "They didn't put in enough characters from X series and made some people into attack animations for other characters" "They put in too many inconsequential characters from X series and didn't bother giving people more than a couple of attacks" It feels like there's really no pleasing everybody except by having infinite resources, in this niche series that typically never tops 500,000 units sold.

Bring back the thing from Alpha where every attack was a single weapon action and every weapon was in the attack list, so Combattler V had two pages of close-range free attacks for every bizarre thing it did in one episode that literally nobody ever used because they were all strictly worse than the sword.

Hey, that's not true! I distinctly recall making it a personal challenge of mine to actually kill at least one thing with that range 1, no post movement attack Voltes V had! And I did! (I also used Great Mazinger's Backspin Kick more times than was likely advisable out of sheer style.)

HitTheTargets posted:Word? I know we're getting more FMP, but are there a bunch more? Well, some of it's just continuing, but yeah. We've got at least... five mech anime this season? Gundam Build Divers, which is kinda sports anime and VR, but from the preview it seems to have the battles be more classically styled than usual for the format. Juushinki Pandora, which might suck on ice And FMP. There's also apparently something with transforming trains, if it hasn't been canceled, and more Darling in the Franxx (which has been surprisingly good). Not tons and tons, but more than usual.

I knew it was already airing, just wasn't sure it was continuing this season, since I'd seen reports it was, but it wasn't showing up on the listings of what anime was continuing this season. Good to know how it's doing.
