After last thread's recommendations, I ended up finishing Argevollen. Mostly because I finally got myself a Roku and could watch my giant stompy robots on my TV. The ending was somewhat underwhelming. I don't mean that it was necessarily bad, but it didn't quite end the way I expected it to. I progressed on M3 but right now it's mostly because the writer is also on the upcoming Gundam. It's tough to get through because so far it's mostly been people being depressed, or realizing things about themselves and then being depressed about that instead. Daitarn 3 wasn't what I expected for a Tomino-directed show. It's even goofier than Xabungle (which wasn't all that goofy to begin with). I haven't watched anywhere near all of it though. everythingWasBees posted:Where's the over the top Super Robots? Diebuster excluded, of course. GaoGaiGar is my go-to anime for that. It is also licensed, but only partially dubbed. I was honestly surprised that anyone licensed it, not because it's bad, but because it strikes me as having a pretty niche audience. I'm a sucker for it as it reminds me of the (sadly few) mecha animes I got to watch in the 70s and 80s.

BBK/BRNK has been alright so far. The studio producing it is getting better at CG animation, or at least they're getting better at hiding the shortcomings. I can see the Giant Robo comparison, the protagonists and antagonists are all fairly colorful, and effectively have super powers. That's on top of the giant robot battles.

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.

Motto posted:It has a weird costume for Sayaka, but looking it up Nagai did pretty much the same thing in MazinSaga. I'm thinking of what Blaze Dragon's referring to, where it does some gross stuff with Sayaka before killing her in the first reality. I guess I could stomach it if it never goes that far again though.

Droyer posted: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.

You can check out the Linebarrels of Iron manga if the anime wasn't to your taste. At least, that's what I was told when I also very quickly dropped the anime. I found the manga more palatable but I kind of lost track after the time skip. As a side note, I was mildly annoyed when I found out that one of the genuinely nice characters in the manga was turned into a villain for the anime.

There's actually more than one mecha in Re:Creators, it's just that the others aren't a factor until the recent episodes.

I've heard the producers made the decision to air story arcs rather than make viewers wait for full seasons.

Ideon (TV)'s ending was "Poochie died on his way back to his home planet" tier. I would have been so mad if it hadn't been for the two movies, with the second providing an actual ending. Instead I was just sad.

StrixNebulosa posted:Argevollen mini-review: I watched two and a half episodes of it and it was the driest thing I've ever seen, yikes. Like, I like political military drama, I like squad-level stuff, and yet it was the most by the numbers "I've seen gundam and other anime before" show I've ever seen.

I remember REIDEEN. I really enjoyed the soundtrack, it had an understated sense of humor, and I think I ran out of nice things to say about it.

I just remembered that REIDEEN has a moon sized sword. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynZsX2Ouq0A The main plot was essentially about aliens trying to capture it because it was insanely powerful. Which went about as well as you might expect. Also REIDEEN is somehow the pilot's girlfriend...?
