necrobumpers are dumb retards
>>23737836>>23739947>>23744812Why u so salty?
>>23745078G-Bitch and GQX brought yuri trannies and they decided to turn this board into their pedo coom board and stop all mecha discussions
Any /m/ or /m/-adjacent anime with a similar vibe to Gasaraki?>parapolitics>occultism>warfare>no goofy moe shit>conspiracy>emotional depthI love the mixture of conspiracy and occultism, the mystery of it all.Also had great pseudoscience with the mechs and them injecting the pilots with drugs and the weird interdimensional mecha juice. The cyberpunky inter corporation warfare was really cool, too. I haven't found anything quite like Gasaraki except for MGS and Genocidal Organ.

>>23732985I haven't seen it myself yet but I'm pretty sure you should give FLAG by the same director a try.
>>23732985Dougramhas the same grain economics, same director, totally depicts spirituality DOUGRAM JAAMPPU is a leap of faith lololol
Are there any horror mecha works beside Getter Robo?
>>23738006There are 5 Turn A mangas you obnoxious faggot.
>>23727666I like when the characters get fused to their mecha with lots of biotech horror, what else dives into that concept besides maybe G Gundam?
>>23727666Blue Gender
>>23738571>mangas
>>23727666Ideon and Aquarion MOE to an extent
Would you?
>>23744756Cheer on the best couple in mecha manga? Yes, I would.
>>23744841>giantesses into tower dungeonWould they even fit? At least the corridors on the Macross ships were built for that.
Best girl
>>23744756But of course
Did they try to pull a Reccoa Londe with Puru's powers?Z had 50 episodes to make her somewhat compelling but still undeniable stupid, CCA had only 2 hours and she comes across as an insufferable schizophrenic retard
>>23735386Unironically it's daddy issues. Quess had some massive daddy issues.
>>23735499"Women are crazy and retarded" was the moral of Gundam as a series?
>>23737355ZZ has the Earth Federation not care that Neo-Zeon dropped a colony on Dublin.Why would they care about a bigger colony drop? It'll help reduce the Earth's population even more. They can just have skin lodges instead of beach resorts.
>>23740725>I am not supposed to enforce law because of race Sounds about right
>>23742126He knew that Quess wanted his love. He just didn't realise or care that it was fatherly love she wanted, not romantic love. She probably wasn't entirely self-aware of that, herself
Char at least had sex with Lalah.But Hathaway didn't even manage to kiss Quess. How come he didn't get over her death after so many years.
>>23739507Lalah is such a fucking cunt >guy wants to move on>clingy Indian ghost you spent maybe 15 minutes around is trying to reedem a MMF three way with your and your arch rival >She's been doing this for over a decade someone really needed to call the ghostbusters
>>23740340She's a ghost, she does pretty much nothing but watching in afterlife. Why don't you blame those two losers Amuro and Char for not getting over Lalah and moving on already?
>>23739190Quess could've been a mother to me.
>>23739190Are you seriously asking this? There are dudes irl who still think about their oneitis at 30.What do you think happens to your mind when your crush gets blown up Infront of you and you had the possible chance of stopping that?
>>23744768>There are dudes irl who still think about their oneitis at 30.There are dudes IRL who still think about her OLDER than that. They've done a study, some dudes take like 5 decades to get over their first love, and there are some dudes who just never do
The alternative pre-spaceflight world and astronautics sequences were great. It was interesting to watch all the way through despite the threadbare narrative (the psychological development of the main character was significant, anyways). Nothing needs to be said about the ending sequence, but the small, imaginative details were really cool. The weird oxen, the circular televisions, the strange (weirdly pronounced Japanese?) language of the southern Republic. Etc. The whole thing felt very immersive for a single film production. Would be interesting to read some lore on this world.
I recommend watching the commentary DVD with Yamaga and Akai, pretty fun and lots of little bits of lore or stories about how they came up with these little details of worldbuilding.This old Manga Films DVD has the commentary and also has some extra footage of different still images (concept sketches, etc) set to the soundtrack of the film (and also soundtrack outtakes iirc)
was it rape?
>>23744542It was a filter
I like how every character has a unique face structure, features and height, it makes it feel even more of an organic world.Peak Sadamoto.
Bros…>godzilla and Kong get equal attention>Godzilla is a character againSpacegodzilla also confirmed
>>23743448We only care about Toho round these parts, city slicker
>>23743491Evangelion isn't /m/.
>>23743491No, but they do have cybernetic enhancements including a cockpit, weapons systems, and an external power supply. But you're such a newfag you probably didn't know that.
Monarch is better.

>I can't give guns to the students in this mission but I can let them pilot giant warmachines! Why was Kenanji so adamant on not giving the students any firearms to the Quiet Zero mission? He had no inherent problem with Suletta, Chuchu, Felsi, and Guel piloting Mobile Suits into battle, but he did have a problem with handing a gun to them. The reason why I have such a problem with a small detail like this, is partially because it feels weird considering the moral lessons the show is trying to give, but also due to trying to figure out the world building of Ad Stella.I can't really see there being any moral reason, other than them not having any training. Surely, if they had any training, they'd have been given guns, since they had volunteered for the mission. At the same time, the kids who volunteered to be MS pilots were able to pilot into battle as they wished without any opposition from the adults. Only Suletta's choice to pilot had some resistance, but that was only because of Calibarn's inherent danger, not because people were opposed to students volunteering to pilot MS. It's not like the show was opposed to kids using weapons for self-defense (and abnormal students involved in conspiracies were shown using guns). Even the whole "adult's responsibility" spiel was pretty much only about a situation, which had evolved into becoming impossible to get out of, so a death or a wound would not have stopped it. El5n did know how to use a gun and the show saw no problem with him using it, but of course, by that point everyone knew he wasn't a real student. But the fact remains Kenanji didn't argue with El5n about whether he knew how to use a gun or not for some reason, which is weird. He did only reveal his training to others when things got dangerous, and you could argue there was no longer any time to argue about it, but it still feels weird.(cont.)
>>23741063>>23741065It's you again, it's fucking you.
>>23742767Yes, it's me. This topic has admittedly been bothering me a lot, and I really can't seem to get a peace of mind unless I find a definitive answer.
Doodoo ass anime that the writers never expected to be viewed by an audience who had a decent memory, or binged it, making the tonal shifts and backpedalling more obviously schizophrenic.
>>23744647Given that you've been on this across multiple boards for four months I really don't have great confidence that any answer will satisfy you.As many people have said every time you have brought any of this stuff up, there's really nothing to suggest that there's any specific military training going on at the academy.>There is pretty much no evidence or implication for it existing, but it's hard to find evidence to completely dismiss it.Do you know how evidence works? Does it sound at all plausible that any school would have a sheet somewhere that says 'we don't do military training because we're not a military school'? How the fuck would you reasonably expect to find 'evidence to dismiss it'? If there is no evidence to support it, then that's basically where it ends.Amuro could've been out of frame the entire time. You can't disprove that. But I also have no evidence for it. Do you believe it's worth discussing my claim that Amuro Ray has secretly been out of frame the entire show?
>>23744786Amuro could've been out of frame the entire time.
>>23736075In a few months.
>>23739592Hm?
The Kummen arc from VOTOMS is the best arc from any mecha anime.
>western mechs be like

What that heck was up with all the spam?
>>23743766Someone wanted God's war notes and brainlet can't dump them on the /m/ wiki
>>23743766>>23743928Might as well have them here, maybe I can make sense of it after reading the manga
Hey. I’ve posted this here a few times before, but it’s finally finished, so I wanted to show it. Yeah — finished.I’ve been experimenting for a long time with binder clips, trying to make them look more like a real mech, and I finally realized something:“Mechs usually have different colors for the body and the joints.”Up until now, I’d been building everything in a single color, but this time I made the body white and used black clips for the joints. The difference in how cool it looks is huge. I also used 25mm-wide clips, so it has a lot more presence and weight to it.
>>23730549Just when we thought binder clip art couldn't get any better this guy throws a curve ball and elevates the craft another degree.
>>23736034Thanks. Yeah, that’s exactly it. I’d started thinking about a new series because I felt like I’d already taken this as far as it could go.Every day I look at photos posted by scale modelers online, trying to pick up hints about photography techniques. While doing that, I noticed how the exterior armor and the joints are often different colors — and that’s what led me to this idea.
>>23738715You even posed them around, that's awesome.
>>23730549Great job.
>>23741153>>23742188Thanks. Maybe I’ll challenge Ice Worm next, haha.
Congrats to Shuji and Machu's beautiful love story for winning the Tokyo Anime Awards Festival 2026
That's pretty crazy, even it's biggest English speaking apologists admit it needed a lot more time in the oven to really succeed at what it was trying to do
>>23744602>AUfag>Disliking teenage love triangles, newtypes, multiverse and referencesUh? The most successful AU literally has all of those things except a multiverse.
>>23744619SEED gets a vastly different reaction in the west.
>>23744595Eva, Look Back, and Frieren are good. One Piece: Red probably too
>>23744621It's popular everywhere now.
