/m/ - Mecha

It's probably to make up for the fact that he looks like a goofy rastafari jellyfish.

I dig his design to be honest. And honestly I even love the goofy aspects of it, like the pouch he uses to store bullets. The design is just so fresh to me for some reason I can't explain. And this comes from someone who absolutely despises dreadlocks. Also this anime was the second I've seen use artificial muscle for mechs so appropriately and interesting.  The first of course being Aurora Battler Dunbine.

I certainly think that King Gainer was the last good series that Tomino did and might even be Sunrise's last entry in to the old time mecha genre. 

As far as me enjoying it or not, I guess it was ok.  The show was about the MC getting to the final battle with gundam 0079 hijinks sprinkled throughout for comic relief.  The OP is a keeper though. 

 >>/157/
Doesn't it look like he's cutting through that Dunbine unit you posted in the OP?

If you haven't seen the show yeah, I can't totally see someone confusing it for a Dunbine. I wonder if King Gainer is Tomino's attempt at making a less murder filled Dunbine.

Well Muv-luv's a niche that intersects with the vn crowd (the robots are pretty cool though) and I've never watched Fafner so I'd have to get back to you on that.

 >>/61/
I like Seabook though.

The girl in that was good and in that cartoony shota enforcing manga she gets command of a pirate ship. The F91 stuff was a neat spinoff and I would have liked to watch the show, but if I had to pick a time to end it I would still pick CCA. I guess since Takara was using Sunrise as a successful marketing platform that Bandai needed to as well so we got more Gundam even after it was time to move on. 

I guess...sure I like the 90s some somewhat but it didn't need to go on as long as it did. Maybe it could have stopped at Turn A?

I'll get the obvious one out of the way; Shinji from Get in the Fucking Robot (but don't because then we'll all die, but you need to get in it to defeat other cool as fuck looking monsters and possibly save a friend or two, but not really because you'll end up killing him later ;) )

 >>/146/
I never mention him in these lists because he's supposed to be lame.

> and it was because it was Getter.

It was Zambot

 >>/101/
Jokes aside it was getter, where as EVA is devilman.

It was a lot of things, not just Getter.

 >>/106/
I never saw a lot of the older mecha shows from the mid 70s.  What are all the influences it has, would you say?

I didn't like the Arc Gurren Lagann or the TTGL.
STTGL was fucking insane, but I guess at that point its not a mech, but instead a being of pure energy made of mechs.

That is the worst Katoki tutorial ever. It pales in comparison to the original this is based off. Which is, how to draw 2hus like Zun.

Wow a videogame?  I'm going to check that one out. 

Also that looks like Platinum Hyugen Ordion in the last one, did it get a game too?

I the Ordion one is just pixel art someone made. But Bari-arm is a legit Sega CD shoot em' up.

 >>/100/
Which is why I haven't seen a modern meca show unless it's a train wreck like Aldnoah Cuck Heroes.

You should try Fafner out.  yeah it's a continuation of an early 00s show so you may have to see that first, but the action is good looking and the story is kinda neat.

Some of the tech in it is really incredible in this day and age with how much effort they put in to it.  It's like someone doing the background played his fair share of games and obsessed about dancouga. 

I am still haunted by how fucking good the fights are at the end of cour 1 in Exodus.

 >>/109/
If the sequel is a hidden gem like Zegapain I MIGHT try it out.

MIGHT

So how garbage was this show?

 >>/129/
It had a nice little build-up towards the finale that wound up being disappointing.

Apparently Hackerlord Whathisface was the leader of a suicide cult when he was 5 years old and his little sister who he was trying to avenge was actually still alive and that's how they got him to back down.

Oh, and there's another season confirmed so it's likely this was supposed to have more episodes to make more sense out of all this.

 >>/83/
Roguemek and Megameks

 >>/111/
Steam has MechWarrior Online.  Is that any good?

 >>/112/
It's a fun novelty and would be really fucking good if the devs weren't cartoonishly greedy and incompetent. Runs like ass, shitty balance, and awful graphics. 

I still put 100+ hours into it but don't get your hopes up.

 >>/112/
They don't respect the Robot, they killed off MWLL, MW4, AT1:BT and tried to attack Megameks

 >>/112/
it's garbage

Bay is more concerned with experimenting a way to make major league sports completely digitized while possibly supporting a marketing platform during the experiment. 

The best appreciation for mecha came with Platinum's game because functionality, feel, and design was in the package.  Bay has simple designs with a lot of useless detail that has no functionality and the show moved on human talent being overblown testosterone cliches.  Pacific Rim was no better and could be a Transformers movie that had focus on jar heads and not football niggers.

They were talking about bringing a lot of CAVE games to PC.  I wonder if they're going to bring Dodonpachi as I want to play it.

So I go and get all the Donpachi games from MAME and they run pretty well, but the newest one is impossible to find a rom for.  The series all it's cracked up to be.  I mean the design is cool but plastering bullets all over the screen and not the most happening music isn't really engaging me.  That super short game Mushihimesama they have on Steam is much shorter but is a better game than any of these I played.

Is Crimson Clover considered any good?  It doesn't look even as nice as screenshots from older arcade games.  It's up on GOG and Steam for a good price but I'm not convinced about it.

You mean the girls with all the robot stuff on them is killing big robot anime and shooters?

That last Dodonpachi was fine and Muv Luv is bad because of writing and not because of the practically all girl cast.

Yeah, too bad about Gradius being raped to shit by hot garbage like Otomedius

> because of writing

Facilitated by Ecchi shit and mentally ill women that's produced by moe shit selling more than traditional hotblooded mecha.

 >>/90/
I also forgot to mention garbage like Infinite Stratos, Pantsu Witches, and Symphogear. All garbage that has boring as shit action, and pathetic writing equivalent to a sex obsessed chuunibyou.

 >>/91/
The only reason we consider Symphogear mecha is that Hibiki is considered to have 熱血, it's actually a magical girl show. That goes the same for Yuki Yuna and Nanoha. But while we're talking about Nanoha: the only thing mechamusume in it is Subaru and Ginga are cyborgs while the Grimore agents are digital constructs. 

But are digital constructs mecha?  Is Cortana or Shodan mecha?

 >>/93/
Digital constructs are mecha, they're AI after all that have to inhabit hardwired machinery. 

Although Cortana after Halo 4 goes full Forerunner light construct tier retarded.

Is the gundam in this cool?

I remember people complaining about it being yet another forgotten prototype shoved into the one year war.

 >>/81/
that's exactly what it is. i haven't seen if it's cool yet because it has only been a single episode.
