I enjoy robot anime. Also while it is a very tired joke I like big bots.

mjp ended up being the best of the three by far, which i don't think anyone expected.

i wouldn't mind another show like s1 of valvrave, but s2 was a boring slog.

did the delta movie fix any of that show's problems?

there's a good story there, but it's a very slow burn and kind of falls apart at the end thanks to isaac newton.

gasaraki starts incredibly slow, and it seems even slower due to the noh dances. the urban combat mech vs. a fighter jet episode was pretty sweet, though.

i was thankful for the thread here where people explained all the historical references. i wasn't familiar with any of that stuff.

i watched half of the previous fafner show and then forgot about it until just now. i think i kind of forgot that fafner exists?

fortunately the best fafner character has the hirai non-descript male face and also wears a big goofy helmet.

i think that ayato needed to spend that time doing monsters of the week to set up a status quo. otherwise, how was he going to rebel against that status quo? most of those episodes weren't anything special, but they provided setup and okay giant robot fights. if the padding in the anime is too much there's also the rahxephon manga, which is very short and goes in a much different direction.

i will always have a fondness for the original aquarion because of the basic format of the show. the pilots do confusing, offbeat training and then have simultaneous epiphanies while fighting the enemy robot which allows them to win. except, the enemy robots are escorts for the mass human abductions, which happen in the background during the flashy robot fights and are almost never actually prevented or even interrupted. very little of what the show actually focuses on has any relevance to this battle against human extinction.

don't think i'd ever heard of gaiking before, but it was easy enough to find on streaming.

how many getter anime were well-animated, anyway? mediocre cgi is a step up from a lot of that.

my favorite thing about getter is during crossovers and such when there are alternatives to the apocalypse machine that eats its pilots available, but they still use getter robo.

ishikawa was never exactly great at drawing humans, but he was amazing at drawing hosed up monsters.

if hayato hadn't become a getter pilot he would have almost certainly ended up as one of those serial killers who mutilate their victims in ridiculously elaborate ways.
|
# ¿ Nov 11, 2020 10:39 |
|
the implausible part is that hayato would have friends and family

really though, go was such a odd manga. it was almost a real robot version of getter robo for most of the story, and then it went balls deep into getter ray weirdness at the end.

well, they can't all be the version with a nose and pop-out roller skates.

i thought the early cg worked pretty well in reideen to make it seem unearthly, and that was even what they were going for. that is the only thing i remember about it.

the premise is excellent, which is enough for me to give it a try.

the manga has a different ending too, i think.

delta was two people who were completely into each other from the start and then there were other women in the vicinity.

delta needed to be more kill-happy imo. those enemy pilots just come and go freely almost every episode, bringing the story to a standstill. it's not the only problem delta had, but ensuring that the dogfighting side could never accomplish anything was real bad.

walkure themselves were the best part of delta. those ridiculous battlefield concerts with vernier skirts were great.

didn't they somehow get their rights to macross renewed a few years back? no one could explain why that happened.

chiasaur11 posted:Shinji getting yelled at, jerked around, and tossed from place to place without a clear explanation of what the hell happened, even when a quick barked out explanation would have done a lot more to accomplish people's goals than just being an rear end in a top hat in silence. so, business as usual. sometimes i think misato is a worse person than gendo.

i can handle the nonsensical plot and the paper thin characters. it's super robots, after all. my big problem with armageddon is that the invaders are usually completely invulnerable to all forms of attack until they arbitrarily stop for no particular reason. they aren't even weak to getter rays!

just watch the anime. it's a nice little show that doesn't overstay its welcome. there's a sequel movie, but it is pretty much just a single extended fight scene and doesn't really continue the story or anything.

i will always love 40k for the fact that there is no mystical power to be had from using skulls as tools or building materials. humans in 40k just really, really like skulls and believe that literally any object is improved by their inclusion.

yes, but there is also getter emperor, which is somehow inspiring and not the terrifying inevitable end of the universe.

beck is not a smart man. even when he managed to get one over on roger, everything else was just a big mess. also, the roger head on a rc car was hilarious.
