I just noticed msubs have been subbing Brave of Gold Goldran. I'm sure that's exciting to someone. Edit: After further research they've been going at it since 2009 so it's not exactly cutting edge news i guess. Droyer fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jan 5, 2016 |

It's a pretty liberal interpretation of mecha show, but Concrete Revolutio is fantastic.

Gyra_Solune posted:yeah, the TV series is a little questionable and many might find it boring, but the OVA is good, the movie is great fun, and Exodus is absolutely excellent. I've no idea if they really are through with the franchise, it ended a little ambigiously, but the people working on it have absolutely gotten better and better and I hope whatever they get together to do next works out well I've started watching Exodus and the fight choreography is really good. As for the first series, I feel like early on it has a very melancholic mood which I can understand isn't for everyone but I wouldn't call it boring per se.

There are always going to be trends in any kind of entertainment media. Sometimes mecha is on the upswing, sometimes it dies down a bit. As for whether you have a subjective bias, the answer is obviously yes because what is and isn't good is by nature subjective. For example I enjoyed Kuromukuro quite a lot (although I haven't been able to watch the second cour for practical reasons). Something else worth keeping in mind is that fiction is always changing; a mecha show made today is going to be different from one made in the 80s, so if you personally prefer the older style of mecha show newer stuff is going to seem worse. As for recommendations, have you seen Majestic Prince? It's not a fantastic show but it's very fun and doesn't take itself too seriously and the action is really good. Also I disagree that Mellowlink is better than Votoms. The fights in Mellowlink are cool but outside of that it's a very standard revenge plot.

I'm gonna take this moment to plug Concrete Revolutio, my favorite show of 2016. It is more a show where robots occasionally happen than a mecha show though.

So I finished Fafner Exodus. It was really cool! I'm really glad I decided to start Fafner, I've really enjoyed the ride and am now eagerly awaiting The Beyond. The main criticisms I have of the franchise as a whole is that it starts kinda slow, and they throw a lot of terminology at you and expect you to infer the meaning. Also it isn't really a complaint, but the power escalation is insane, especially in Exodus when everyone gets superpowers out the wazoo! As a side note: I swear at the end of ep 24 of Exodus when Kazuki comes to save the day an instrumental version of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYe1snx1A78 starts playing, which blows my mind. Can anyone confirm this or am I just making a connection that isn't there?

I read the orignal manga for Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer. They were interesting from a historical perspective, but I don't think they were very good. After Mazinger Z introduced the important characters the rest of it was just repetitive MOTW stuff until the end of the manga, the plot wasn't even resolved until Great Mazinger. Also I think the anime and manga must have been going on simultaneously, because Boss Borot was just there suddenly one chapter with no explanation. Great Mazinger was better I'd say, but it did some really weird stuff plot-wise. For example, in one chapter they established that the Great General of Darkness took orders from the Emperor of Darkness, but at the end of the manga he's never confronted. They defeat all of the various generals and then we're just told that the rest of the army give up and slink away, which isn't really satisfying. Grendizer was blatantly unfinished: At the end of the manga the Vega empire has not been defeated, and it just ends with "But as long as Grendizer is there Earth is surely safe!" which isn't satisfying at all. Also we're given no reason why Grendizer and the Mazingers aren't all working together. All the pilots are around, all the robots are around, and they have cameos in a chapter or two, so why aren't they working together all the time? This seems to me like the obvious thing to do not only from a plot perspective but a fan service perspective as well. An issue all 3 had was that the main characters seemed like completely different people in the comedic scenes compared to the more serious ones. Something that was neat though was seeing how many plotbeats and specific shots are used and homaged in Shin Mazinger, and I'm really in the mood to rewatch that now.

The Majestic Prince movie has been subbed and is on nyaa now. It was a lot of fun! It had the same comedic style as the tv show and the action was really good. If you enjoyed the show you should def. check it out.
