Best episode so far. Last one was a letdown but this one make me more hopeful for the future if they keep this pace. It's essentially a remake of episode 25 of the original, and it focuses entirely on it, meaning it's not nearly as rushed as the first three.
They also introduced saucer beasts, about damn time! It's weird that the first one we see didn't get to fight Grendizer, but the next ones should. Now don't let me down again and give us real cool fights. They're even reusing the original's saucer beasts apparently, that's cool, too bad they won't be able to include all of them.
Daridari is definitely the cuck of saucer beasts. 2 appearances, instantly dies without getting to fight both times. Rip

Nah, he's gonna be Bejita. Look at his reaction when Naida said she was gonna kill Duke

These subtitles can't be right. Did they just intentionally add that 'friend' bit because of some weirdo cultural thing?

I thought it was a nice idea to have Daridari be a giant bomb. And kind of funny too.

No idea how her V-cinema is going to work if the leaks are to be trusted.

And to add to this, this is comparing some of the past decade female yellows and pinks in sentai and thats a pretty low bar when it comes to “im just here”

I'm a little tipsy right now but I just want to say I am FUCKING HYPED for Gavv
Absolutely everything I have seen so far has put a big smile on my face. Today's news and clips have me even more excited. I really like Gavvs actor and the fact that the belt is his literal stomach
Loving Gavvs brutal and hyper fast fighting style and how the kick more focuses on how crazy the skid out after the impact is than the impact itself
I want Shoumas Jacket, it adds a lot to his henshin seeing him reveal Gavv underneath the zipper

Hoping Gavv is like an extraterrestrial super hero compared to Valen who is a more tactical militaristic rider ala birth or grease

>>22748718
>No idea how her V-cinema is going to work
The same way her focus episodes worked? What a dumb question.

Toho is terrified to experiment with new opponents for Godzilla to fight. It's always the same opposite kaiju over and over and over again, Mothra, Ghidorah, MechaGodzilla, Gigan, Megalon (though that's more in videogames than in movies, last year's short notwithstanding)... I know familiar monsters are more profitable for them, but it's also tiresome seeing the same faces over and over again. For as much flak as it gets elsewhere, one thing I really like about the Monsterverse is that it gives us original kaiju, even if they're just side-dishes to the main monsters duking it out. It feels fresh and original and I'd love to see more original foes like we used to get in the Showa era.

I don't like the shadow Shin Godzilla cast on the Japanese side of the franchise. It feels like every one of Toho's Godzilla projects post-2016 has been coloured by Shin in some way, some more obviously than others. Minus 1, despite being an incredible movie, had me audibly groaning in the threatre the first time I saw Godzilla use his atomic breath during the Ginza attack, because the way his spines shot out of his back as he was charging was a kind of body horror that proclaimed its Shin Godzilla influence loudly and proudly. Singular Point is even worse about this, outright stealing the whole concept of Godzilla evolving into a land-based creature the more it adapts. And the anime trilogy Godzilla-forms the entire planet earth, in much the same way that Shin Godzilla would have multiplied and overrun the earth if he hadn't been stopped. I get that Shin was a huge success, but I hope now with Minus 1 blowing Shin out of the water that Godzilla projects going forward are given free reign to break away from the hold Shin Godzilla's shadow has on the franchise.

>>22748708
Toho's response to the newfound popularity of the series was making it a committee-driven series. Which it never was before, you always had executive producers who were working really close to the series, they developed the stories together with writers and directors. What they're doing now may harm the series in the long run. They'll end up sabotaging their own series, ironically because you'd think the Americans would be a bigger problem.

>>22748708
Probably because "fans" are not very receptive of anything that strives away from the norm? You make a perfect example, Shin made something different and influenced the following instances but you see it as something bad.

>>22748716
>What they're doing now may harm the series in the long run. They'll end up sabotaging their own series, ironically because you'd think the Americans would be a bigger problem.
No, I don't think the Americans "would be a bigger problem". Toho being Japanese doesn't automatically mean they make better content than the Americans. Even if they're not critical successes, I think the Monsterverse films are a hell of a lot more entertaining than the Netflix trilogy. I also can't say for sure if I agree that Toho will end up sabotaging Godzilla. If Minus 1 is any indication they might start to take a step or two back and let their directors tell more of the stories they want going forward. I hope.

>>22748728
>Shin made something different and influenced the following instances but you see it as something bad.
That's not what I said. I want to see more originality from the Godzilla franchise, but if all of Japan's entries going forward try to ape parts of Shin Godzilla then it stops being original. Minus 1 was a great film in its own right, a fresh and original take on what makes a human cast compelling, but its design for Godzilla didn't need to borrow body horror from Shin to stand on its own legs. Singular Point definitely had its own thing going, and as much as the science talk went over my head I could tell it was trying its best to be both faithful to and original in how it reinvented its cast of kaiju, and aping what Shin did only made their take on Godzilla feel less fresh than it actually should have been because we'd already seen a Godzilla that evolves. The anime trilogy... has a lot more problems than just "the planet being Godzilla-formed is a Shin Godzilla reference".

I liked Shin Godzilla, but that doesn't mean I think what made Shin Godzilla work necessarily works in other entries that aren't Shin Godzilla, and when other entries try to ape parts of Shin then their own originally gets diluted because we've already seen that part before.

>>22747911
yes? It still received continues upgrades and experimental equipment till the end of the war, and besides it's only tangentially related to Mk-II in the first place.

>>22747922
Did Hazel itself have any revolutionary features? It inherited movable frame from Quel but MkII also hss it, armor materials seem to be good old OYW materials. All of the fancy tech is in the addons. I guess Owsla has BUNNyS right? That's certainly something AEUG would want.

And then the idiots kust left a TR-S unit for AEUG to molest

Looks like Crunchyroll licensed 3199. The first movie/two episodes are already streaming on their site. No word on 2205, even though it does get mentioned in the text of the related news item.

>>22748664
If you mean 2199 Celestial Ark, then no, though the JP disc does have English subs. If at minimum Crunchy doesn't announce a license of 2205, I do worry they're just grabbing stuff for their streaming platform, and we won't see any English-friendly physical media.

>>22748666
I mean, I don't have a synergy problem between the two, usually I end with Tatsuku in The Type 2 and Leona with the Graviton Cannon and a Slash Ripper since that's before it was nerfed into the ground.

I wish SRW30 had as much gameplay depth as OGs
Or any gameplay depth at all

>>22748650

>>22748707
Type 2 is one of the more hotly competed units in OG1 to be honest.

It has depth but there's no need to care about it outside of challenge runs.

Finished LOGH Gaiden. It nice seeing characters like Patrichev and Kircheis get some extra focus screentime, but man, I missed the others like Reuenthal and Mittermeyer.

Tetsujin 28 1980 - very childish show, nice animation sometimes but damn this is a dum show for 6yos. Not bad just hard to concentrate watching. Nothing interesting happens ever. Put it on hold.

Mazinger Z 1972 - starts slow but i got into it eventually by the time they got 2nd villain, the beheaded nazi guy. Hard to believe it's 1st mecha ever, feels very fresh sometimes. Now i get those mazinger memes yey

Super Robot Taisen Divine wars - ok this one is a GBA tactical game adaptation and it shows. Very mechanical story delivery so far, fight after fight and only mission related dialogues. A bit bland and gray. Can't say i hate it. Front mission anime would be like that probably. I want FM3 anime!

Jinki Extend - this one is like those 2000s 2deep4u shows/jap novel games where they just throw everything at you. The result is not great but i miss shows like that. It's like anime going full ANIME. Also mecha is well animated but square and ugly like soviet toy trucks. Felt like a waste.

Great Dangaioh - nice. people who made it obviously had passion and some talent but it's just one of those forgotten shows i guess. Well it was worth watching.

Also plan watching rahxephon because i saw it 20 years ago and forgot practically everything. And it looks great.

2 episodes into Acrobunch, I finished Zambot 3 recently which I enjoyed a fair bit. Debating with starting a Brave series next (eyes on Da Garn or Goldran) or just throwing caution to the wind and diving headfirst into Srungle

Nope, Gotchard is somehow more engaging, which says a lot about Boonboomger.

>boring

You just got too used to things being crazy. BoonBoom is a refresher series, a fun little traditionalist thing like going back to your grandparent's place. It's the Dragon Quest to the last three years' Final Fantasy if that makes sense.

>>22748595
Nope, Boonboomger is more boring than the typical Sentai show. The episodes and story are even more barebones than the usual Sentai. It's like Ryusoulger-tier dull, and even Ryusoulger had more of a story than this.

I'd rather watch shows like Megaranger, Hurricaneger, Dekaranger and Kyoryuger. You know, actually good Sentai.

>Wonderful has been pretty disappointing as a follow-up after how good Hirogaru was but on its own it's decent.
Wonderful has been real good for the past month or so, under the special condition that you're VERY into Mayu and Yuki, because since Yuki became a cure it has been almost exlcusively the Mayu and Yuki show, Komugi has been super neglected for a pink

>>22748727
Thank goodness for that. The dog duo are just not interesting characters is the problem and having removed any real action from the motw element makes the show kinda dull.

On the note of the Druggies: Phase Shift Armor takes up too much power on battery suits and we can't use nukes to power them because Blue Cosmos is funneling all the NJCs to missiles? Make the reactive armor version of it that only fires off when it hits, and has the added bonus of not making the suit look like grayscale ass when you're low on battery.

I don't think ZAFT ever figured that one out, since even when they're not using nuke suits (Impulse and Rising/Immortal as late as GSFreedom) they have the shift down gray.

Morgenrote is basically Orb's DARPA. They co-developed the Gundams

>>22748647
>Orb had to steal secrets from the EA to build the Astray prototypes
They only stole it in the sense that they weren't upfront about their intentions of creating their own MS, even though Orb painted itself as pacifistic. The Astrays weren't even officially sanctioned and caused Cagalli's father to lose his position. Phase Shift is the only thing that was a secret and completed separately right before the Gundams were shipped to Heliopolis.

>>22748715
>Morgenrote is basically Orb's DARPA. They co-developed the Gundams
They didn't. The setting materials specially say that Orb was shut out of development from the Gundams. They tried to steal the technology several times. It's why Orb didn't have access to phase shift technology until they recovered the Strike Gundam and the wreckage of Aegis and Blitz.

this, along with le ebin coperino cages work and worked well enough on edge cases where an almost whiffed shot that would have penetrated and killed everyone didn't because of the little added material. Sometimes rounds aren't loaded with the exact amount of propellant they should and the tracks are just enough to make sure it doesn't penetrate. It was worth it to the crews to have that extra crap on there and I guarantee every fucking dork on the internet who wants to feel so fucking smart from their armchair would pick the tracked up/caged up tank/MS going into combat because at the end of the day no fucking nerd is gonna convince me or you not to protect your life more

that being said this design sucks and is super ugly. At least add some extra weapons or smoke pods or something to make it look well used. Making it look like a piece of shit doesn't work

Tests during the era actually proved that, in certain circumstances, it's worse than nothing. The relatively soft steel of tank treads is not only completely ineffective as armor, but when it's placed on slanted armor, it actually softens the trajectory of a shell into the armor, reducing the likelihood that the shell will bounce off or shatter and reducing the effective slant of the armor in the same way that the soft steel caps used on APC/BC shells at the time did.
This didn't stop anyone from putting them on anyways, though. But their commanders hated it.
