Do you still remember Medabots?
>>289592867yep, I need hebe meda warrior wife
>>289592867One of my top 10 and I have a Rokusho.
I wish there were something new to talk about...
>>289596180There are games, but they remain exclusive to Japan
>>289596207>>289596180The gacha just had a global launch not far back. Looks like a vampire survivors ripoff
>>289596207All of them?
>>289596180Smile
I forgot about it many years ago
>>289600348Now you remember.
>>289592867Of course
Kikuhime sexo
>>289601322And that's good.
I've only seen the English dub. I enjoyed it.
>>289592867Localized Metabee is still kino>>289596180Kikuhime/Samantha is cute...
Henry being the actual protagonist of the first game is wild.Now he's broke young adult, wageslaving at a retail job. But even now and then he puts on a mask and goes around using his medafighter skills to beat thugs.He's just Spider-Man, isn't he?
>>289607444Probably.
>>289607444I didn't know thatThat's cool
>>289592867loved the first season
>>289609698This looks like late 90s anime
>>289592867I am old enough to remember...
>>289592867I don't know if it was actually good but it sure enchanted my mind when i was a kid.
>>289592867Yeah, I liked it
>>289611510Season 1 was pretty goodFrom what I have seen Season 2 is a downgrade animation wise and it removes stuff from the original
>>289612080I remember them turning into cars and that not being good
>>289612272>I remember them turning into cars I forgot about that. It was kinda of gimmickSeason 2 kinda felt like an au than actual sequel
>>289592867Yes.I was regularly bullied for my obsession with it in my primary school years.
>>289613145Do you still like it?
>>289613710No
>>289610859...because it is...
I'm waiting for someone to translate Medarot Navi. I played it in japanese, but I need a translation. It's one of the best games in the franchise, along with Medarot R, DS, 7, 8, and 9.
>>289596180Suzie was the best girl
>>289614371Who
I think there is an ongoing medabots gacha game or something, isn't? I see videos on youtube ocasionally but never considered since it seems jp stuffhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjSk2H54kZ8
>>289614424
>>289592867I still remember Belzelga's introduction. Cool as fuck to crush enemies with your punches.
>>289607444Bruh
>>289614581>I think there is an ongoing medabots gacha gamegrim the future is so bleak
>>289610859You win a prize!
>>289592867Season 1 was good, Season 2 was a downgrade
>>289592867do you still remember love?
>>289607444In Medarot DS and subsequent games, Ikki takes his place both as the shop owner and as Phantom Renegade.
>>289616987We all do.
>>289617146Oh that's dope as hell Is the game translated? I might check it out
>>289617146>adult KikuhimeShe hunts shotas for robattles.
>>289618736She does not.
>>289592867I was so happy back then, living in a small town, had a cute girlfriend, good friends, we sometimes hanged out to watch this on cable...Thanks anon.
I remember playing the GBA game for hours and getting soft locked in a basement that you couldn't leave You had to fight a gauntlet of rubberrobo guys and they just dumpstered meI also loved the dub as a kid and had a bunch of the little minifig sized toys that came apart so you could customize your own guys, they were pretty tightThey came with dice so I assume there was some sort of battle game you were supposed to use them with but I never bothered to learn how to play
>>289592867I do remember.
>>289620533I was stuck on the relay race segment until I learnt the trilling technique from piano
>>289617146Is adult Samantha/Kikuhime meant to be a biker? She's the only one who's job I can't guess based on clothing.

>>289621033>Medarot S: Unlimited Nova - 2020, Mobile (Gacha)Is that the rip-off from Spain?
>>289592867For me it's her
Holy
>>289623422ultra cute
For me it's Kuwagata because I love melee unga bunga
>>289592867Yes.
>>289620903I remember anon saying she's a gym teacher.
I remember having a huge crush on Karin back when I was a kid. I think she was the character who made me develop a twintail fetish.
I finished watching it the other day, it was so good
>>289592867Yeah, I've been playing the new game on Switch. I got Rokusho version.
>medarots
>>289624154I actually believed those were different characters.I thought it would be the big twist, that Phantom Renegade and Medafighter X would in fact be different characters despite their blatant similarities.
>makes the best children anime to exist >releases 1 mediocre follow up season >fucking dies forever why
>>289627953Medabots seems to be a state of life and deathBut I would say its doing better than its dead cousin Robopon
>>289627920>Phantom Renegade and Medafighter X would in fact be different charactersThey are not the same person
what did Ikki's mom mean by this?
>>289627953>makes the best children anime to existThat's Digimon
>>289610859i wonder why...
>>289605813Samantha and her gang were funCyandog was my favorite Medabot
>>289627258What did she mean with this?
>>289631502How is a headbutt supposed to give you good luck?
>>289592867Yes, but I used to watch Zoids more as a kid. Fun times (probably what made me into a mecha tard)>>289631004Eh, Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go and Grander Musashi are even better, in my opinion. Digimon fell off after Tamers and only got back up again with Ghost Game.
>>289632747>Digimon fell off after Tamers and only got back up again with Ghost Game.How about Beatbreak?
>>289632817I am not completely caught up with it, but I have enjoyed it so far. Not my favourite, but a good return to form, especially after Adventure 2020 (pointless remake that it was) left a sour taste in my mouth at the start of this decade.
>>289614236>RNot with that encounter rate. It did also massacre the human character designs.The Medabots were cool though.
>>289632747What do you like about Ghost Game?
>>289636300Robot cheerleaders? In this day and age?
>>289632747>Tamers/Ghost Game glazerLiterally the worst kind of Digimonfag.
>>289631641If you didn't get a concussion then you have good luck
>>289637513I liked Adventure 01 and 02, Tamers was okay. I liked Ghost Game a lot too. What does that make me?
>>289635102I liked the setting and the tone, it was a fresh, new take on the franchise. The ending while not to my liking, was understandable as they framed it.>>289637513>glazerI have no clue what that means desu. But Adventure is also good and I like it very much, just the original run was best at Tamers.
>>289637513countersignaling Tamers is wild workMy favorite season is 02, and frontier turned me off the franchise completely so I haven't watched anything since
>>289639912>frontier turned me off the franchise completelyHow?
>>289636300Pink
I don't know why. But the one thing I remember about this series is Metabee eating watermelon (somehow) and somebody using it as a trap for himI don't know why of all things that's what I remember about it, but it is.
>>289624178Makes sense, considering she was secretly a ballerina
>>289592867It was aired in the argentinian state channel and weirdly it had the original Japanese opening and ending instead of the fox kids one (that was the same as USA but in Spanish)
>>289642112
>>289642513Dance
>>289623576DEKINAI
>>289642263>argentinian state channelDid they air any other anime or cartoon?
>>289642513Nice try but that's a boy.
>>289642032Because he's a beetle, duh. What kind of beetle can't eat watermelon?
>>289646065All of them?
>>289645817>that's a boy
>>289644703Mine's a recovery type, you know? Won't you be my partner some time?
>>289647524That's what they like
>>289647524I don't get it.
>>289649035
>>289645321Let's hope so.
>>289647610>Won't you be my partner some time?
>>289651506Cute
>>289602547>>289627258truly a mom i'd like to fuck
>>289652535Is she single?
>>289653402no
>>289652535I'll make him a sibling
>>289616828Yeah, it's a shame they couldn't continue with the formula from 1.
>>289621134Can't they just release 'MedalBots'?
>>289621134such idiots
>>289596180Watching Medarot and seeing Kikuhime being voiced by my favorite seiyuu made me super happy and horny
>>289621134Isn't there any way to fix this?
>>289658943They did, it says right there that they won
Make Medabots real
>>289660876Soon, with all the AI advancements.
>>289660876might be fairly soon
>>289660876dis
>>289592867Of course. I loved it. The robot designs were fucking spectacular. Among the best, really.
I wonder what you need to study to make Medabots real.
>>289664593Weapons grade autism.
>>289592867why the 2nd season sucked balls?
>>289612080>>289612813>>289666319because the 2nd season is literally the filler episodes arranged as a new season by locals. That's the reason why it felt weird.In japan there was never a season 2 to begin with.
>>289645321>Did they air any other anime or cartoon?not him but before moving to america, back when I lived in Peru we had the OG Ranma show uncensored... airing at 18:00hrs from monday to friday.Kids could see bouncing boobies on national TV and it was glorious.
>>289666715>peruANOHow did you escape Peru? That must be a story to tell. Cuenta pe
my osakan wife
>>289666470>In japan there was never a season 2 to begin with???Medarot Damashi is clearly a second season
>>289666986My story is not that impressive.Tengo dos nacionalidades porque nací en gringolandia. Mi vieja es de Seattle y mi viejo es de Arequipa. Un par de años después del 9/11, por alguna razón a mi vieja se le ocurrió la brillante idea de mandarme a Perusalen cuando tenía 7 años y viví en Lima, Miraflowers junto con una tía por varios años hasta que después de la universidad decidí volver con mi vieja a buscar una mejor vida.De vez en cuando viajo con mis amigos a Perú a pasear y coger flaquitas necesitadas.
>>289592867the last episode i've seen is the one where Metabee has lost against the rival.
Femjet is incredibly sexy here.
>>289667610My HM Fly slave.I remember her from the game.
>>289667610Red glasses
>>289667398Ta bien. Que estudiaste? Sigues viviendo en Seattle? Dicen que es un estado bastante liberal. Te quedaras en USA o planeas volver a Peru en el futuro?
>>289666715>back when I lived in Peru we had the OG Ranma show uncensored airing at 18:00 hrs from Monday to Friday>kids could see bouncing boobies on national TV and it was gloriousTake a look at this >>289583938
>>289667214She's from Osaka?
>>289671231Probably. Still cute.
Imagine wearing these outfits
>>289673451Tacky
>>289592867Robots always give cool stories
Why the fuck did they reset the series with those lame killabots or whatever? They also removed all the characters that carried the show.
>>289607444I was very disappointed when I played the GBA game and found out he had a girl partner Phantom Lady and the anime chose not to adapt her in.I will never forgive them for it.
>>289675525Fanart is your friend.
>>289675245It seems both shows are done by different studios, that doesn't explain the big changes though but it's the only thing I've seen when researching, it almost feels like it wants to be a reboot but also a sequel
>>289677421It often is
>>289628150Still the most shameless ripoff in existence. It's amazing that Nintendo was not only cool with it, but continued working with Hudson on Mario Party.
>>289592867>medabots>not the only legal name medarotjust that retared change of name made that the franchise almost fucking diedit was way worse than harmony gold slop
Never watched medabots growing up. How does one get into it?
>>289679374Watch it.
>>289679374There literally isn't much Medabots material out there. It was finally fully subbed not long ago so just rewatch it. The games are still around but most of them still need fan translations.
>>289678726nintendo got revenge by letting them be bought out by konami
>>289632747>Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Goholy shit somebody else remembers
>>289592867Yes. Dub was shockngly good. Niggabee was a great performance and fit very well.
>>289675525In the first game you can choose between Kirara and Nae as a love interest, or end up all alone if you didn't hang out with either.You meet a grown up Nae at the start of the GBA game, she is the female scientist, and gives you a bunch of medals and parts if you visit her after major story events.Also, Kirara inspired Henry to dress up and stuff. She is a pretty important character to omit from the anime.Being a remake of Medarot 2, the GBA game has a similar romantic choice between Erika and Karin, but you probably need a guide to romance either girl because you need to complete multiple one time story events in a particular way.It's totally worth it though.
>>289678941Medabot sounds much better than Medarot though
Sleepy thread.
>>289683645>the dog knows
>>289682035I did not expect Medabot to have romance routes in the games thats interesting >romantic choice between Erika and KarinNo Samantha route? Shame
>>289682035The anime really did Henry dirty by making him feel like a random gag weirdo instead of a guy with actual baggage from the first game. Kirara being cut makes Phantom Renegade way less funny too since half the joke is that he's LARPing because a girl told him it was cool.Also needing a fucking flowchart to get the girl in a kids robot RPG is very funny. Medarot was ahead of its time.
>>289617146Ikki and Erika are married, and she also took on the ms stranger identity.
>>289629962>>289625039Reminder that she later married koji and became as unhinged than dr aki himself working for the medarot industries, though she was unhinged before, now she is rule 63 rick sanchez.
>>289660876We are getting battlemechs first anon/a/ man needs a atlas at his garage
>>289677427And it was terrible, plus the entire localization fuckery with blackbeetle's gender where she was voiced by men in the west in most places
>>289673451must be hell during summer
>>289685310Karin married Koji, and she replaced her grandpa.>>289685623The entire anime was made based on ikki, plus we didnt knew who henry was til later on.
>>289625566The card game? My copy should arrive later today.Didn't someone make this thread on /v/ recently (and it was apparently deleted)? Did jannies forget this IP started as videogames?
>>289686907>Did jannies forget this IP started as videogames?I thought Medabots was a manga first.
>>289686907/v/ jannies are full on blizzard and obsidian shilling rnExpect thread saging from now on.
>>289687381I only remembered the manga after posting that, which goes to show that in the west the average person only remembers the games and anime.
>>289688104>Expect thread saging from now on.This is /a/ though
>>289688167The medarot manga has some of the edgiest changes ever, mainly karin's changes.
>>289688330And that's cool.
>>289592867I have the metabee model kit, so yeah
>>289623376No, that's the actual official gacha, it was Japan only. The crossovers were kind of fun since they were things like Digimon, Ghost In The Shell, and so on giving each some nice medabot style designs. It also captured the gameplay style decently with 3 slots for customized medabots with the standard part zones (head and body, left arm, right arm, legs, medal, male or female tinpet) that you used in ATB style rpg fights. It was decently fun but the gachashit made it hard to care about for long.>>289621033Don't forget that Survivors is also a gacha.
did the sequel ever get fully subbed?
>>289685623>Also needing a fucking flowchart to get the girl in a kids robot RPG is very funny. Medarot was ahead of its time.The RPGs rule from what I played but most nerdy fans of Japanese RPGs don't really give two shits about battle systems, let alone something requiring that much dedication while having little story beyond "goofy irreverent kodomo manga misadventures until the very end, where it gets kinda-sorta serious".
>>289692261That's why I want to learn Japanese. There are things that will never get subbed or translated.
>>289692261
>>289694221Damn
>get Imaishi to direct an episode>it gets all the best animation
>>289694581
Yeah, Arika is the best gurl
>>289694879
>>289695156
We need a new medabots game on the models of the old megaman game with other robot ips turned into medabots, gib shin getter, votoms, macross and battletech medabots.
>>289694221>>289694539That's a strong ass.
>>289698820i love the animation
>>289698820The fact that this happens in a fraction of seconds is simply phenomenal.
>>289592867How come Medabots were not banned worldwide after the 10 Days of Darkness? Everyone just went back to their normal lives with Medabots without fearing they could turn murderous again?
>>289630438She like her men just like her coffee.
>>289592867As a weeb teen, this was probably the one americanized version anime I didn't even mind because it was still so good.
>>289680520You bet I do. I also have seen/remember Granzort, Wataru and VS Knight Lamune among (a lot of) others. ;)>inb4 mechatard
>>289682035
>>289698820Haha funny
>>289694221>>289694539Hot
>>289699508*Gasp*
>>289691155I really liked Unlimited Nova S but then the Google update that shut down cross-border payments also locked the game out from the non-Japanese.
I already had the opposite versions on my hacked Switch, but it's nice owning something tangible, specially since I can play these on my Switch 2.
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I remember loving it but I don't remember anything about the plot.
>>289702709To be fair most episodes consist on the main characters doing some activity and meeting a new medabot in the process.
>>289694879SEX
>>289692409>but most nerdy fans of Japanese RPGs don't really give two shits about battle systems, let alone something requiring that much dedicationWhich is a shame, since Medabot's battle systems are rather interesting with all the intricacies it has
>>289699430You're in a thread about a robot battling RPG franchise, it would be more surprising for you to NOT be a /m/fag
Rewatching this show subbed was the best decision of 2026 for me, I forgot how charming the designs are, how good the animation is and the original soundtrack is amazing. That metabee track that sometimes plays when he's about to win hypes me up like crazy.
>>289705061It's also a creature collector so there's some overlap with Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, etc.
>>289708745I thought kids doing funny faces at displays of affection was just a Western thing.
>>289708967nah. jp has it too
>>289709909Did that trope already exist in Japanese media or was it a Western media import?
>>289710758Probably the latter.
>>289661407>>289662428The potential is there. They just need to figure out auto regenerating parts.
>>289711941Impressive low high combo at 5 seconds.
>>289712112kek
>>289711941Honestly how come the Chinese can make stuff like this?
>>289710758hard to say. it's fairly universal
>>289707815are these new figurines?
>>289716386don't know. sorry
Sex with Kikuhime
>>289719243does Peppercat watch or participate?
>>289719435she will when ordered
I wish I had friends to watch Medabots with.
>>289712112nigga doing crimes in broad daylight>>289714129you should be aware they're probably doing it with shit partsaka they don't care if things fuck up
>>289721509Friendship isn't real. Only robobattles are.
i wish i loved anything as much as this man loved robattles
>>289724464Who is this?
>>289711941His opponent
>>289724464>>289724716
>>289724901Well, isn't that something.
>>289724464Him having a satellite ready to shoot anyone who cheats in a battle is both cool and funny
I wish I still had my metabots toys
>>289724716Don Ramon
>>289708967Nah you're retarded.
>>289724873kek
>>289726848Is Medabots set in Mexico
medabump
>>289730667Lots of circuits thrre
>>289726307never released here
>>289592867watching the original japanese version was so great, i owe /m/ so much for that>>289596180KIKUHIME IS MY WIFE
>>289685823They never have any romantic anything in the sequels, and the creator said that they see each other as only as good friends. Which fucking sucks considering Hikaru canonically ends up with Kirara, and you can date Nae in the game.
>>289666715>>289667398No pasaban Ranma sin censura. Todas las escenas con desnudos fuera de las OVAs fueron removidas. Facilmente puedes encontrar rips con el audio latino en internet y siempre se regresan al audio en japonés porque nuestro doblaje de Ranma estaba censurado.
