loving sweet! Completely by coincidence last night I was looking into fmp! since I'd been watching clips and was starting to feel sore about it not getting finished, caught the announcement that there was a talk going on but had to go to bed before anything materialised. I gave up and read sigma to see the ending a couple of years back, but this is the best news.

Lemon Curdistan posted:I wouldn't go as far as rooting for her, but the fact that she clearly hates buranki with a murderous passion has done a lot to humanise her and make me interested in her character. Say what you will of her ruthless persecution of anyone who could theoretically oppose her, anyone who stands alone defending the world against destruction by headbutting the enemy to death is okay by me.

So doing some reading because of that PV I'm not really sure how I feel about a take on mazinger that turns it into a metaphysical thing like Getter, but at the same time Mazinger Zero does look really drat cool there.

Also the gurren Lagann movies blow chunks, so there's that. If you're willing to widen the net slightly what with shows being kinda thin on the ground I'd recommend Zegapain, the emotional kick is fairly potent in that one. It's also a good indictment of singularity digitising humanity fantasies.

Darth Walrus posted:Well, ID-0 is already vastly more interesting than Active Raid. Taniguchi's making a relatively smooth directorial transition to full 3D, too - there's some janky shots, but it could honestly be a whole lot worse. I'd heard it described as cute girls doing cute things but mecha and wasn't hugely enthused, is this accurate?

Wasn't the problem with Ishikawa and endings that Getter mostly it did just end with "to be continued" because it generally did until he suddenly died young?

Guy Goodbody posted:One of the unique about Dai Guard is how they change the robot. As soon as they discover the hetero's weak point, the Dai-Guard becomes entirely about that. Usually in mecha shows the main robot gets more abilities over time, I think Dai-Guard is the only one where the robot becomes more specialized. It does get more abilities over time they're just a lot more low key than your average mecha, what with one of the important later upgrades being making it able to assemble itself rather than them having to wheel in a gantry and hoist all the bits up with cranes.

EthanSteele posted:Space is actually probably the best place for humanoid vehicles if the four limbs are used to move thrusters for fine positioning. Obviously they don't need to be giant and it would still be hugely impractical, but space would be where they work the best. Or you know, using your limbs to orient yourself in a way that doesnt expend propellant as is the premise for mobile suits.

They do a decent job of characterising the bad guys in star driver and you end up liking them instead of captain earths strategy of introducing a character and having nothing in their introduction ever really amount to anything. God it loving annoyed me how they never went anywhere with the boxer despite giving him way more time.

Erg posted:star driver is about good horny teens and from what it sounds like captain earth is only the horny teens part??? Star driver always kind of had the problem that takuto could never actually fail in any episode because the moment he does the badguys INSTANTLY win and the shows over really. Captain earth attempted to address the invincible protagonist problem but the setup still meant that if he ever loses the world instantly ends so nobody could ever fail, so instead the vast majority of the time they get saved by stupid contrivance and you get none of the fun of takuto pulling a bullshit win out of his rear end every time. It culminates in possibly the most infuriating bit of the series when non-spoilers daichi fights the badguy and the shows first OP kicks in and he wins a really desperate fight with earth engine getting loving wrecked as the fight goes on. Except that carries literally no weight because earth engine got wrecked in literally every other fight.
