Hopefully G Gundam is an easy gateway into Giant Robo, though

Nope He use to be food or classed as food. It's that stupid. He wishes his back story was Burakumin since it would make sense.

well yeah, the Kuntala aren't 1:1 with the Burakumin, but it's similar and/or an allegory

the idea i have of Thunderbolt from the few suits i've seen is: strap a fuckton of shields and/or weapons to [insert Zaku II or OG Gundam here]

which isn't terribly exciting compared to basically any other series

I really like G Gundam but I've never seen any of his other work. Give me some recommendations.

Giant Robo is his best, but Shin Mazinger Z Impact is also well regarded. he's done some others too but those are the big ones/good places to start.

What? Why?

What subtleties of robot design am I missing here? It just looks like the same unicorn, simple silhouette intact, with more detail added to the metal plating

i like the Unicorn because it's monochrome and doesn't have a ton of detail. adding that stuff and panel lining it makes it stick out in a way that ruins the design for me.

I think you should say more. Part of what made you seem so caustic this time is that you said a single line that when read parses mostly as "actually, he's not funny" followed by "anyone who disagrees is white knighting hard" whereas if you had gone into detail in the first place there'd actually be something to discuss versus one dude going "it sucks" which doesn't give people much incentive or options other than "no it doesn't", you get what you give, I guess!

yeah, this is the problem i had w/ that post. it seemed dismissive rather than attempting to bring up any concrete opposing view, and then turning from that to paint everybody as "fanboys" just made it worse

Given the origin of her name (Elpeo Ple = L(emon) People, a notorious hentai magazine with characters that... uhh... tended a little young), any creepiness is almost certainly intentional.

intentional like the creepy posts you keep making? Puru is fine, jesus christ

Darth Walrus posted:

She's a child-shaped weapon with a semi-functional moral compass who was raised and modified by walking creep machine Glemmy Toto. It's pretty clear she was supposed to be kind of off, and the name is just part of that.

yeah, Glemy is a creep. meanwhile Puru is a girl in hosed up circumstances who acts out and tries to create some stability by forming a sibling relationship with Judeau. i really don't think Tomino is a pedophile because her name is a pun of an adult manga magazine.

Seriously? Is it even legal to not allow preorder cancellations?

amiami doesn't let you cancel orders unless you actually talk to somebody from the company via email or whatever, and even then they reserve the right to deny your cancellation. so it doesn't seem that weird for online shops like that

Gunpla literally saving the world wasn't a bad development necessarily, but it seemed like a fairly large and dumb escalation, i didn't like it. BFT's escalation issues felt more about not even reaching the level of competition as BF rather than one-upping BF's dumb climax.

Honestly when our space carrier has kids on it they oughta just be dumped off on the nearest colony and some grizzled vets brought in to actually fight the war.

War is bad(but it looks super rad look at this badass poo poo yeeeah). If you really want to show how bad war is, show how boring it is.

i dunno, i think a show like Now and Then Here and There is great at showing how terrible war is just by showing non-stop horrible things that can happen. it also has a cast mostly made up of children, which works because war would affect them just as much as adults.

should i watch the Thunderbolt ONAs separately or just go for the compilation film? i dunno if the individual ONAs have padding like OP/ED or episode previews, but seeing that they add up to a longer runtime than the movie has me worried that some stuff got cut, despite December Sky having "additional scenes."
