Director Mamoru Oshii SUNRISE × SUNRISE
>>285291331>Director Mamoru OshiiSo it'll be shit? Ok
neat
>>285291331It's gonna be CG slop isn't it?
Why VOTOMS of all franchises?
>>285291331Oshii used to be mah jap but he lost the plot a long time ago
>>285291403Because Votoms is great
>>285291403Despite being old it's still a pretty popular series.

>>285291394Give the man his snow equipment!I hope we see a variety of AT loadouts.
>>285291331Is this gonna be an actual continuation or a weird reboot like Finder was?
Will Votoms save mecha just like Vlad Love saved yuri? How can Oshii subvert expectations this time? 3 minutes of action on 13 episodes?
>>285291385>>285291395>>285291403>>285291410>>285291558Why is /a/ so out of touch?
>>285291602We're out of time
>>285291403Sunrise 50th anniversary celebrationThey already have tons of Gundam projects already with Hathaway 2 releasing this week, so they chose this as their legacy work to resurrect
>>285291942Too bad all their resurrections lately have been insincere parodies. Look at Quacks or the new Samurai Troopers. Jesus Christ. It's just self-referential Whedon-style jokes and UMMM... THAT JUST HAPPENED goofy shit! The only hope that won't be the case here is if Oshii keeps his trademark understated doomer style. Which isn't great but better than the alternative.
>>285291942Don't forget Mai Hime new series and New Code Geass series.
>>285292168>watch anime>think of mahbelWhy are americans like this?
>>285292699Have you seen the new Samurai Troopers?
gundamtroons from mechatwt on suicide watch.
>>285291331VOTOMS? Ihaven't heard that name in years...
>>285291602When was the last time Oshii made something good?
>>285291331museru~
>>285291395Votoms has been CG for a while.
>>285291395Production IG specialises in CG and Sunrise also uses it extensively for Gundam
>>285291558Vlad Love wasn't a yuri show
>>285293397The last thing he directed was Vlad Love which was good and based cause it killed yurifags
>>285293960>>285293935It didn't kill anyone either
>>285293982It did, I personally know several yurifags who killed themselves after Vlad Love. I made sure to (You) their posts
Votoms x Lodoss?
>Vlad Love is Mamoru Oshii’s indulgent critique of the modern simp. Mitsugu Bamba is a harem protagonist taken straight out of your average 80’s slapstick romcom and unceremoniously inserted into the year of our Lord, 2021, but instead of having the standard selection of waifus to choose from, she only gets one. Fret not, though, because Mitsugu is the ultimate and final simp. Her waifu is an insatiable vampire, but Mitsugu conveniently has a fetish for giving blood, and even goes so far as to systematically cuck herself by creating a Blood Donation Club at her school to orchestrate a bloodletting pyramid scheme amongst the club’s members to satisfy the thirst of her new sugar baby, and you, the viewer, likely an otaku defined by your subservient love for Japanese cartoons, are obviously meant to see yourself in her folly. The dynamic between Mitsugu the simp and Mai, her gold-digging waifu, is a clear-cut metaphor for you and whatever product or service you find yourself a slave to in our consumerist society. As much as I hate to use the phraseology of anarkiddies, tankies, & progressives, Mai truly is the vampire of late-stage capitalism, & she will suck your blood dry as you happily expose your veins for her beautiful lips to find, just like the parasocial simps who jump at the opportunity to let the e-girl of their dreams empty their coffers for mere seconds of her superficial attention. Vlad Love is a truly biting piece of social commentary which pokes fun at the sheer shallowness of people like Mitsugu who would be even a tiny bit attracted to such an unpleasant woman with the worst personality in the history of existence just because she’s hot. Waifus are portrayed as intrinsically corrupt beings bankrupt of all virtue who will physically drain the vitality of you and everyone you know.
I remember watching Vlad Love with /a/ and honestly beyond the usual Oshiiisms, nobody really gave a fuck besides trying to decipher the OP (same shit that happened with Magical Girl Destroyers). Not sure why this guy seems to be obsessed with it.
should I watch votoms or patlabor TV or brain powerd next
>>285291942New Brave series when?And no, Bravern doesn't fucking count.
>>285291331When was the last time Oshii did anything good?
>>285291331>not hand-drawn
>>2852955512001
>>285295551The threesome he had with me and your mum
>>285295455Watch your good years fade away instead.
>>285295455Patlabor TV. VOTOMS is all over the place, BP needs very high Tomino tolerance
>>285295731more recent than anno then
>>285291331Cool.
>>285295403It's Majimaschizo, I think. Or one of the other usual schizoposters. It's hard to tell them apart sometimes.>>285295551I liked The Sky Crawlers. It wasn't perfect, but it had heart.
>>285295455watch all of them!
>>285291331What?
>>285291331VOTOMS diedAnons cried
>>2852955512021 with Vlad Love, just ignore the shitposter trying to "own" yurifags
>>285293960What was good about it besides disappointing yurifags?
>>285297872I don't care about whatever yurifag drama the threads had, but the show was simply not good
>>285293035I don't think we had a good votoms thread since maybe Alone Again dropped. Christ i feel old.
>>285291331>mechaslop
>>285291331Mecha is coming back with an absolute vengeance.
>>285291331>the grey witchIt's going to be yurislop, isn't it?
>>285295727>The stylus moves itself
>>285299241Why?
>>285299241>It's going to be yurislop, isn't it?You're gonna be very mad when the next Macross project will have Yuri?
>>285299712Yuri was already in Delta.
>>285299786>Yuri was already in Delta.Kawamori says it's not enough.
>>285291331Nice!
>>285291460kek
>>285291331We are getting old.
>>285302365>We are getting old.Not old enough. There's a reason why oldfags and nostalgiafags still have influence into the anime industry.
>>285291331Between this and Patlabor EZY, seems like 2026 will be a big year for classic mecha revivals that probably dissapoint and are forgotten by the end of the year
>>285302518Top heavy demographics are probably a big factor.
how the fuck do you get into votoms
>>285304665The original series.
>>285304780but then what about the rest of the stuff afterwards? what's to watch or skip
>>285291331This is good news. With Ghost in the Shell becoming pure slop due to Netflix and now Shit Saru, I'm glad that Oshii is making actual good anime.
>>285304931you either watch everything or skip everything. there's no middle ground for little men
>>285304973Votoms will go to Netflix
>>285304931Rule of thumb is watching by release order. After episode 13 is when The Last Red Shoulder OVA takes place so you could watch it then but it's not going to kill you either way.Also the recap episodes can be skipped imo, there's no extra scenes or dialogue
>>285306724I'll go download the big pack and figure out what the release order was thenThink I had the same problem with Patlabor where I downloaded everything but didn't know whether to watch everything or some should be skipped
>>285304931Watch the OVA without Chirico like Mellowlink, Finder or Case;Irvine.Last Red Shoulder and Big Battle are midquels to the TV-series and don't shit it up too much.
>>285291460is it also kenji kawai? sounds exactly like the patlabor 2 & 3 scores unless it is actually from them and im retarded
>>285306758>some OVAs are prequels but production order still trumps chronology because you're expected to know certain things from later on>certain OVAs will make you wish you skipped them in a narrative sense but it's ultimately still good to watch them>Mellowlink, Case;Irvine, and Votoms Finder are spin-offs and the latter's in a different world but they're still good especially MellowlinkAlso check the filenames to make sure the episodes are in the right order, I think Phantom Arc had the episodes rearranged because different people were working on them>>285306864Some edited wikipedia to change it to Merowlink btw, probably the one guy who made a big fuss about it
>>285291331Oshii is back?! HOLY SHIT! I thought his days making stuff were definitely behind him.
>>285291331From the director of hit anime Vlad love. I liked it btw.
>>285306864>Watch the OVA without Chirico like Mellowlink, Finder or Case;Irvine.are they that bad?
>>285307131same, genuinely
>>285307143It's more that the prequels and sequels fuck over the main story.
>>285307143No, Case;Irvine is pretty good
>>285304612>Top heavy demographics are probably a big factor.older otaku are the bigger demographic than the younger ones.
>>285307143The prequel OVAs are fine imo, you will understand around the time when you start watching the sequel OVAs why people have some problem with them, even if they're not badGuys how do I explain this in a vague way to someone who hasn't seen the show? That it would have been better just to leave the show's ending as-is?
>>285307589probably also have more disposable income
>>285307817and still have influence, those older otaku hate isekai including gacha for letting the anime industry get so bad for a decade now.
