Srice posted:Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still I've watched and really enjoyed all of these except for Giant Robo, which I've neither watched nor enjoyed. I draw two conclusions from this: 1) I should probably watch Giant Robo (I kind of already knew this), and 2) I guess I like giant robots? Maybe Droyer was right all along....

Rather, much like I should have been there to make you watch Utena, you should have been there to make me watch Giant Robo in the "tell each other what to watch" thread.

Allarion posted:Yeah, but I like Macross Plus more! Giant Robo is really good too though, and hearing about how it could have ended always sounded really rad. And it was good! And I strongly suspect Paranoia Agent will also be good, when I get to that. But because it's sitting there, judging me, I have to watch it before GR.

Zodar posted:The more 70s robot manga you read, the more you realize how ahead of the curve Ishikawa was. The first two Getter series follow Mazinger Z's monster-of-the-week schtick, but they're just... ferocious enough to make Nagai's work seem tame. All the characters are bold, dramatic archetypes, the pace never lets up, the tone veers wildly from horror to awe to comedy. Mazinger Z fades into something lukewarm and repetitive as it goes on; Getter shifts into higher, more bizarre gears whenever things start to get samey. Whoa, that spread is loving awesome.
