The second movie goes a long way towards improving some of the plot stuff in the latter parts of the tv series that felt half-baked.

There's variety in the music played early on but it's incredibly easy to forget that because Planet Dance is used waaaay more than everything else in those early eps.

Daler Mehndi posted:If it helps, the Crunchyroll version lists "Discotek Media" as the publisher, and free users can watch some episodes until August 11th. However I only watched episode 11 and my memories are too fuzzy to remember if it's the same as the bluray version. I checked episode 1 and it had the blu-ray differences, since I remember the scene after the introduction being different in the blu-ray.

Yeah A lot of the robot fights in the eps I saw felt incredibly superfluous and not as well handled as the on-foot action.

TheManSeries posted:Thats what I'll look into then. I saw a bit of that but mostly sealed for hundreds of dollars and thats too much for anime. There's definitely gonna be a reprint of the series at some point in time. There's so much money lying on that table that I'm positive it's a matter of when, not if.

Darth Walrus posted:The main series is kind of a slog, but the two movies are very good. It's just a pity that neither of them works as a replacement for the TV show. A Contact only covers half the series and makes too many changes to work as a compilation movie, and Be Invoked is essentially a partial replacement for the final episode. If they'd had a third movie to tie them together, that would have been great. Agreed. A lot of the later episodes have cool stuff but the gimmick of the week stuff gets tiring fast, especially given how powerful the Ideon is. Cool: Hostage situations, infiltrating the Ideon to fight the pilots in close combat, the Ideon doing stuff of its own accord, etc Lame: Pilots or mecha with a gimmick that gets easily wrecked by the Ideon, generic skirmishes without much of interest happening, etc It's ultimately worth the slog but I really wish the movies could have been a substitute

There's a chance of it getting taken down from Dailymotion, I've had that happen to a decent amount of OP vids I put up there. Wouldn't hurt to try but I wouldn't count on a compilation staying up forever.

I watched a bit of Braiger a few years back and my main takeaway was that it's a neat show that unfortunately gets kinda hamstrung due to requiring the mech in each episode for merch purposes. I might watch more someday but there's always so much on the ol backlog

I like it a lot, it's a bummer that Imagawa got the boot after setting up a big cliffhanger, but for the most part I'm pleased with the haphazard way the various staff shuffling around were able to pick up the pieces. The action stays slick as hell throughout.

Raxivace posted:So is there any word on what happened here with Imagawa? The Wikipedia article is a bit vague. Nothing definitive has been said but this: https://twitter.com/MichaelToole/status/431614417378111488 combined with how he takes his time with productions paints a good enough picture, I feel. Especially since the anime doesn't even credit Imagawa as the director of those first three episodes! Srice fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Jan 26, 2017 |

My suggestion is to just hit up more old classics and additionally try checking out some of the non-mecha contemporaries that aired around the same time (Especially in the 80s, there are so many good shows that don't get talked about because most of the discourse online for that era tends to be heavily focused towards mecha and certain movies). It's what I have been doing as of late and it's a refreshing change of pace.

They are making a Mazinger Z movie but that's less to do with Shin Mazinger and more that the 45th anniversary of Mazinger Z is coming up. I reckon if Shin Mazinger were more successful we'd have seen more full reboots of Go Nagai properties as a followup instead of getting the occasional short OVA of something Nagai-related every few years Not that I'm complaining about the OVAs though since heck, Jun Kawagoe is an underrated action director and more often than not that's the only time he's in the director's chair.

Also in thinking about it, at this point I'd be far more interested in getting a non-mecha Go Nagai series adapted. Mazinger frequently gets new entries, yet Devilman never had a proper full adaption and that's a real shame!

As much as I enjoy Shin Mazinger, if I could make one anime not a flop it'd be pretty far down on my list. I'm happy with what we got.

Watching just the first three eps would be unsatisfying anyways because while there are cool moments for sure you'd be watching three eps of buildup followed by a cliffhanger.

There's a lot of non-mecha Ishikawa stuff out there that's not scanned, if I could trade the scans of his mecha stuff for that I'd do it in a heartbeat easily.

ImpAtom posted:Getter Robo is a franchise that I feel often has a lot of strong ideas but pretty iffy execution. Yeah that's pretty much how I feel about it, I find a lot of stuff interesting about the manga but the act of actually reading it frequently felt like a chore to me. Meanwhile all of the OVAs outside of the first 3 eps of Armageddon are directed by Jun Kawagoe, a guy who I feel is a very underrated action director in anime. I wish he'd get work more often!

It's a pain to find old stuff in general on Crunchy, you basically have to hear about it from other sources if it's a show that's not very popular and predates simulcasts.

Prince of Darkness has a few decent scenes with some of the supporting cast. It's not a particularly good movie but I feel like its badness gets played up way too much. Despite the script being fairly bad it's directed well enough that it's a quick watch.
