Overman King Gainer isn't anything like G-Reco though.

Not remotely. Gainer is more akin to a slice of life mecha nomad anime that has occasional serious stuff, while G-Reco tries to do the same except it's all plot and they really need another 10 episodes.

There's two seasons of Fafner 2 and no one mentions it. That's amazing. I have no idea what it was or that it had a 2nd season until I checked up a summary site.

But I have like no idea what the show's about, because my usual review sites aren't covering it. Anyone give a summary?

Funimation tries hard to get back the original VA's when it's feasible, like Evangelion. Especially if they were main characters.

Not technically an OVA, but the compilation movies of Gurren Lagann and Gundam 0079 are basically OVA-length.

It needs a Do You Remember Love remix or some compilation, because the super dull pace is what really kills it for me.

That actually makes the show sound interesting.

I should add I've never seen AO or the original show though.

The main romance couple who's whole point that they can co-exist is immediately told "No you can't. In fact, your babies will turn to stone for even trying." And there's a literal unkillable villain that chases the cast for most of the series and only a literal retcon universe gun can stop him.

I watched Big O, it was not exactly what I expected. I was holding off on watching it because I kept hearing it be describe as Batman with a Mecha and that made me lose interest in it if anything. I knew it was suppose to be noirish going in, but there was a ton a ton of silent film influences as well. If anything I would describe it as Giant Robo in a German Expressionist film.

I wanna ask what your reference to Batman is, because when people say "Batman with Mecha," they're usually referring to the Animated series with Bruce Timm back in the 90's.

G-Reco at least have people that are passionate about it. The most anyone gets out of IBO is "Well, that was a thing I guess. It failed miserly, but not enough that I care."

When more people are excited about Gundam SEED, you are a bad show.

I actually saw the new Reideen as my first intro in the world of...apparently the Reideen-verse. It was during that period of SEED where everything was half-CG half horrible.

SEED Destiny when Shinn tries to catch beam sabers with his bare hands and then do a shin battle against a Gundam with laser shinns

It's still one of the few shows that shows an aftermath of a genocidal war, let alone have the ultimate final battle be 2/3rd of the way into the show.

I wonder what steps would have to be taken to make HG give up the rights, like if some rich obsessed mecha fan wanted to force their hands by deliberately tanking all their investment portfolios or something

Too much for what it is which is basically a legal cookblock in ip rights and indirectly responsible for banning possibly all future macross in srw as an example.

Spin-offs not related to the canon of the OG show appear all the time, many times in conjunction with canon.

Guess what other bandai property shows up despite being big huge non-canon in Super Robot the past few games
