Where's my stompy mecha thread?
So idk much about battletech, or the clans, but I played mw5 and heard about the minnesota tribe and read about them and clan wolverine on the wiki. Was that something that was part of some plot arc that didn't go anywhere because of a change in direction for the story or something?
>>22636916They're basically just flavor lore to justify players fielding their own Wolverine derived force. If there was a more grand plan to explore them it's probably as you said, lost in the endless shuffle of staff and writer changes.
>>22636967I thought it was something like that, a "your dudes" enabler. I was just curious if there was some well known grand plan in the community that I didn't know enough to have heard of. I could imagine in editions before the clans were revealed that they would have been similar in terms of hints. I hope that if they ever do get fleshed out they are less lame than the clans, although I know better than to expect anything.
>>22637205One of the best parts about BattleTech is that a lot of stuff was left vague to make it so players could make their own forces and dudes. Sadly CGL is shitting on FASA and Wizkids BT lore.
>claims to be a mecha fan>hates 0083How does one explain this contradiction?
>>22633630I only watch Gundam series with newtype MCs.
>>22634575You are free to hold your opinion, but I disagree with you.>>22634581Yazan Gable was an earthnoid thoughever
The Marasai is the sexiest mobile suit ever created
>>22634514before i watched 0083, i thought GP02 looked goofy
>>22634117>invalidates Kou’s only onscreen killsaid onscreen kill was weakshit anyways, went and took a mobile armor to effectively FF and missing the point of the battle

Rozé ended in the 8th place in the weekend box office despite being only shown in 60 theaters and with no hype.It's a success both financially and critically. Geass is back.Rozé is coming to Disney Plus in late June, perhaps they will drop all 12 eps at the same time.Lost Stories special stream on 5/15 8PM JST. They will reveal all the anniversary stuff plus info on the future of the game.Previous thread: >>22623874

>>22636099In Gao at least they did the ritual that created Senki so they at least have some link to it. In WF it doesn't make much sense since they had defected from the orgs in the first place. I just rationalize it away as the org heart containing "data" on them as well as on the org generals that make up the rest of the motifs.
>>22635884Don't think so, but it probably has to do with the fact that most of Zahab's footage includes ShelindaAlso, those insectoids stilk had counterparts to Sambash (With Hinelar's suit cause the Sambash suit wasn't available) and Budoh
>>22636030Their connection to Ninjor?
>>22635573Solicitations should be up next weekDo you think we'll get a new creative team/ongoing announced or are we skipping a month sans Ranger Academy?
What if Kane portrayed Black Alien ranger instead of Ninja Black?

They tried to speedrun 0079/Zeta/ZZ/CCA in a single 50 episode series. It wasn't nearly enough time to introduce, develop, and convince people to give a fuck about any of it's characters. It also ended on Kio, possibly the single worst offender for the power of UNDERSTANDING in the entire franchise.

What's everyone watching or reading or building? Looking forward to anything this year?Let's keep it /m/-related.
"Great's leg upgrade episode is pretty good, the quality is great so far-">next ep: cat ninja robots steal Boss Borot and sit on Great's launch tube, rendering it impossible to deploy Great, Tetsuya must fend alone against his enemies with just the Brain CondorWhat the fuck?>>22636505The kicks are pretty great, I remember enjoying them in Infinity and it's quite good here as well. You can definitely get away with a lot more gore if it's robots, even thinking about Mazingers reacting in pain or vomiting not-blood. Although I guess it's cheaper to dole out generic CGI explosions instead...We did not give up on Ultraseven, instead we've been busy, or watched a bit of Macross, or got into some really insane non-/m/ show it's Revolutionary Girl Utena. I will never drop shows (in magma), there wasn't anything wrong with Ultraseven, Ultra's something I still view fondly.
>>22636474>>22636527Glad you’re enjoying Great and not listening to that annoying dude who keeps shitting on it every thread.
>>22636739I wasn't aware there was one, granted that there was what felt like a slight slump (crow-related), but it could have just been me having a bad day
>>22636770There’s one guy who even keeps repeating borderline lies like it had low ratings (it did better than Z on average) and Tetsuya was so disliked they brought back Koji to “save it”. When that’s only in the endgame arc and planned from the beginning. The Koji episodes did got some of the highest ratings but that was to be expected because team ups are generally hype as fuck and of course everyone would like to see him reunite with his dad.
>shinto has a concept of objects becoming alive after being loved or abused, and apparently culturally this is somewhat accepted concept>know a SRW (DD?) hinted this with Great protecting Tetsuya while he was getting on Emperor G>did not expect to see Borot, unmanned, just casually get scolded by Boss and weep togetherI sometimes seat or have toys/models lie down because I worry they'll get tired, hopefully my Mazingers will come alive some day.>>22636988I was honestly a bit worried about that, largely ignored it because I like Great Mazinger (the robot) and chose to like Great Mazinger (the show), but I'm really really glad to hear that was basically bunk. I keep expecting Koji to show up soon and he keeps not showing up, because I keep assuming he's here for the last third of the show.
(now on Crunchyroll)
>>22636045Yeah megaton 2 is ass, honestly. I really don't like how limited loot is by the end either, I hope they update the game to have more options in that regard at least, it feels like shit when a game all about customizing throws out most of your options at end game.
I'm getting disconnected in multiplayer constantly. Anyone else?
are they gonna add Gundam to the game or just the litterally who super robots?
Is it worth grinding out the Conquest Mode when I unlock it? The adapters seem like ass, I keep getting absurdly niche set skills on mine.
>>22636404It's weird how there are so few megaton 2 missions. You also need to unlock them by raising your megaton rank. After megaton rank 18 they expect you to go all the way up to 25 with no new missions which is an absurd grind.
Did I misunderstand something? Shouldn't she be in prison or dead by Uraki's hand?
>>22635845Exceptionally awful experiences.
>>22627894Is Rebellion any better? Keep in mind Kou never really cared about Nina, and only they knew the whole truth to trust each other as much as possible. Their bond is only professional, and he would have killed her on the spot if she intentionally gave the GP02 to Gato in the first place just to create a lead-up to Zeta the way the OVA was created.
>>22636879Just read everything else, no, it just added a nuke to a burning dumpster. Rebellion made it worse to where it would break off to turn Advance of Zeta into its own universe like Thunderbolt.
>>22636879Rebellion manga ramps up the Nina craziness to new levels of drama between Nina and Gato and Kou, but it does end hilariously with Kou NOT meeting Nina again after everything ends when he gets reassigned to a posting at an EFF base. Kou even hallucinates about her on the jeep next to Mora for a moment but she's not there at all, she already fucked off into space to find something else to do.
>>22636911I'd rather she fuck off desu
I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE DRESSED UP IN BULKY UNVENTILATED SUITS PRETENDING TO BE ROBOTS!!!
The DX toy for this looks fucking terrible but the suit is absolutely awesome especially when it's action.

How are the Japanese reaction to Ultraman Rising?
>>22636540At least on the YouTube comments for the Japanese trailer, they seem to be generally positive.
>>22635954Great translation!And this episode is a bit unique, Ultraman vs human evil organizations.They built a life-size, the same level durable statue of Ultraman. Wow
>>22635954Thank you anon, you rock!

You know it's a girl's Shinkalion because it has a mono-bra for its monoboob.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cRl7y4aZ0c

What makes Nozomi the cool kid's shinkansen?
Rayearth OVA is truly a criminally underrated and forgotten mecha OVA, all because it deviated from the source material (magical girl) and became a full fledged mecha OVA that’s hyper violent and hyper sexualized. If you give it a fair chance, it’s actually pretty amazing.
>>22633359Part of Eagle's deception is that Emeraude is tricked to believe Zagato's mummified corpse is still his live self who is deep in slumber. Iirc there's a throw-away line or two in there which imply that she still attempts to ... console him.Chicks dig rigor mortis, I guess?
>>22633989That quite literally doesn't answer the question. Why was it the business model? >>22633993Good answer.
>>22635249>>That quite literally doesn't answer the question. Why was it the business model?Because it worked.
>>22633955>>22633957Every time
>>22632749It would have been better if it was a canon true ending to the TV series and not some AU fanfic that has nothing to do with the source material.>hyper sexualizedlol, they're just naked when piloting the mecha, that's common even in mecha series on TV. They don't even show nipples when they could've gotten away with it since it's an OVA. Also it's a reference to their magical girl transformation in the series where they're naked.

>>22636804What are those weird triple thingies?
>>22636806I feel like they still have some features, but ultimately this style only takes some traits from the original MS usually. These Cardass illustrations have been going on since the late 80s, they're a classic line. Where Musha Gundam is oriented around SD kits, this is where Knight Gundam thrives. I do agree these designs could be better though. Have a cool Barzam knight to make up for that.
>>22636812Assuming you mean the second model, these are funnels. TR-6 can store a large funnel in the weapon container and control it if it's equipped with Psycommu. Notably it looks like a downscaled triple winch cannon, using an open barrel design not unlike Nu's fin funnels later on.
>>22636825Oh, inever realized those where made of three sections, thought they were like Nu's closed fin funnels.>Downscaled triple winch cannonDoes that mean there's a full size version out there? Speaking of winch cannons, are there multiple variants? Sometimes they look slightly different
>>22636902I mean, I guess you could make a larger variant that's the size of a proper winch cannon but that kinda misses the point of a funnel, these are already rather large. Unless you go all-in and make basically a remote controlled hyper mega launcher like Nu FF. But there are no depictions if that, no. Composite Shield Booster can be refitted into a wireless psycommu weapon though.And yes, there are two winch cannon types - the "normal" equipped for example on Hazel Owsla and the much longer enhanced winch cannon which is used by Gallant TR-5 and most TR-6 firms with a winch cannon. The latter at least can also mount some extra equipment, IIRC one illustration had it with a small missile pod attached.
