It's such a shame too, because the actual movie riffing in the netflix series is just as good as ever, but nearly EVERYTHING ELSE is either soulless or just plain bad.

Joel was also kind of weird about how he approached the movies. Like they got ATOR: THE FIGHTING EAGLE yet forbid the writers from doing even a single incest joke and overhyped the lamest movies as being the next Manos.

Yeah, Yongary in particular stands out as one of the strongest episodes ever. The stretch of jokes until the monster actually appears is nothing but bangers, and while the latter half isn’t as strong, it’s still got some great riffs.

Only major issue is that the beam spray gun is standard issue rather than a proper beam rifle. A GM is a superior machine to a Zaku II and that's a remarkable achievement considering it's the Feddies first, rushed attempt at a mass production suit. Fuck of a lot more useful than a Ball at least.

I said it in one of the other threads but it's the Nemo. The Nemo under-performed at everything, it was considered fodder on the same tier as the AEUG's GMIIs, which themselves were considered hilariously out of date, and by ZZ the entire Nemo line was mothballed and not seen or used by the Federation, with Feddies instead opting to strap missile launchers to GMIIs instead and calling them GMIIIs. The Nemo was that bad. The Nemo was so bad that one never got an onscreen kill in Zeta, unless Rosamy got one when she hijacked one I can't remember. The Nemo went several decades before it was even allowed to look somewhat threatening here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pByUhUb1Czk
It's just an unimpressive suit all around, rolled out one year and immediately retired the next, and I'm disappointed because of all the GM type designs I actually rate the Nemo pretty highly

So I finally got around to watching this from start to end, after years of seeing bits and pieces of it on Adult Swim when it first aired in the US, and man... it kinda sucked.
Are all the high ratings of the show from people who watched the first half and dropped it? Almost every single aspect of the second half was pure nonsense, and it wasn't even cool enough to function as rule of cool.

What the fuck. What does /m/ think of it?

Before anyone mentions it, I hear that the sequel series is worse and I have no intention of watching that.

But why? And how? He made a magic supercore addon for a machine that no one could pilot, when they had other LFOs that other people -could- pilot. It's exceedingly convenient and has no proper explanation.
>why assume its purely electronic in nature?
I didn't assume that.
>Assuming the planet would oblige with killing itself i suppose.
That was literally Dewey's plan with the compact core in his chest (there's no explanation for that either, by the way) and his suicide. "I die and the planet kills itself" was apparently his plan with that.
>Dewey was imprisoned because he wanted to kill the coral
This is not stated in the show and the timeline I referenced earlier, from the wiki, says he was imprisoned for losing Eureka. The show doesn't say that either, mind you - we have no fucking clue why he was actually in jail.
>Like stealing an entire prototype warship?
You seem to be conflating events. Holland (the Spec Ops master) stole that ship and various other military personnel. He stole one scientist at the time, not "all of them."
>they are drawn into the coral dreams.
This doesn't actually mean anything.
>the priest who has a c-drive stuffed into his chest
The show implied that he fused with that while in The Great Wall with Sakuya. It certainly doesn't actually explain why he can do anything special with it. I shouldn't have to remind you that c-drives are also "just batteries" (when they're in non-plot-important machines), which you need to power your otherwise run-of-the-mill motorcycle.

How did minovsky build the first magic particle reactor? He just did, eventually in any line of questioning you reach a point where you simply have to accept things.
>I didn't assume that.
Sorry if this was unclear, but you are in that you claim that making the amita is equivalent to being able to mass produce salt alchemising bombs.
>This is not stated in the show and the timeline I referenced earlier, from the wiki
You should watch the show.
The show gives us the sages deciding to release Dewey, while they voice concerns about how radical it is. Dewey himself doesnt seem to have any particularly radical beliefs other than self destruction so it would follow that his problematic beliefs stemming from the ageha report are the core of this.
>You seem to be conflating events
Not really? The military is the same entity in both scenarios, if you can steal an entire warship you can probably clip something the size of a cookie

They dont work in space, they are employed because its free energy from coral dream magic. Why the hell wouldnt you use free energy?

>you reach a point where you simply have to accept things
True enough, but timeline matters. In Gundam, the particles are discovered some 50 years after humans started colonizing space and they're refined for use over 20 years... by space-colonizing wayfarers.
In E7, humans discover alien skeletons in the ground (after living on that ground for 3000 years, apparently?) and in four years, one random guy grants one (1) of these skeletons the ability to nuke areas by having emotional resonance with "some random girl they found next to that skeleton." The situations are not anywhere close to equal.
>you claim that making the amita is equivalent to being able to mass produce salt alchemising bombs
Why not? It goes off... four(?) times during the show, does it not?
>You should watch the show.
You should blow that out your ass. They have that discussion in episode 2 or whatever. Dewey doesn't demonstrate that he wants to kill the universe until episode 50. Trying to tie some cause/effect to this is the height of retroactive continuity. The fandom (the wiki) doesn't even agree with your interpretation!
>if you can steal an entire warship
That's the thing - we don't know WHO stole the Amita drive. Was it Holland? When? Why? Why would he separate the drive from the Nirvash and then steal the Nirvash to retrieve the drive he stole? These cross the line from "events that happen in the plot" to "events that happen so the plot can happen." I don't like to just turn my brain off - my brain is on and it has the questions and the show never answers them.
>They dont work in space
The 303 doesn't have a compact drive?

I don't agree, it has the exact same problem of never really elaborating on the actual cool parts of the show. To its credit though, it at least has a way better cast, mecha that feel actually distinct from one another, and no retarded pretentious teenage girl narration

12 episodes is much too short. I don’t want an Ultraman that’s all plot advancement with no MotW episodes.
30-40 would be ideal episode length.
I think >>23743427 has the better idea. Maybe 15-20 episodes one year as a season 1, and 15-20 more the next year as a season 2.

>30-40 would be ideal episode length.
Jumping in to say I think the number of episodes should be, somehow, proportional to the number of important characters. For instance, as much as people dislike Trigger, 25 episodes maybe wasn't enough to explore all the characters and their relationships. Blazar had the same number of episodes but the cast was smaller so it actually felt too long to me. I agree 12 is way too short. I also like the idea of splitting a show up into two seasons.

>>23743715
> I don’t want an Ultraman that’s all plot advancement with no MotW episodes.
And neither of the 12 episode Ultras we've gotten were like that. None of these new gen shows have plot that's worth even 6 episodes, let alone 12, and also most of them only have 1 or 2 good MotW episodes anyway. Quality over quantity anon

I never said 6 episode seasons. I said there's about 6 episodes worth of actual plot in your average new gen show, tops. Even if we reduced the episode count of a new gen show to 12 episodes, at least half the show would still be MotW

Penelope also have another brother name Leucadius, so there's likely be a third Fixed Flight Unit in the third movie. Will the third unit going to be a new creation Gundam or using existing mobile suit like Nu MP as it base structure?

All the Garancieres crew are either OYW vets or vets of either one of the Neo Zeon wars

Just because only Mineva and Marida (technically) appeared in previous works, doesn't mean the Sleeves weren't mostly Zeon remnants. They're not stated to be otherwise

ELS Quanta is the only non-SD machine that can put up a match against the Turn A and that's because it has a hyper adapting army alongside all it's own bullshit

I bet it was a western woman who designed this crap.
Women: "In WW2 people put spare tank tracks on their tanks. Ima gonna do it on MS too because it looks cool."

A fucking 5 minute search on google would have prevented this shit from being added to gundam.

They didn't increase protection, the steel is way softer, and even made it worse against armor piercing rounds as the soft metal made it harder for the projectile bounce off when it hit the hardened steel armor.
And they also carried them to use as spares back then, for when the tank track broke.

But on a Zaku, it totally doesn't make any sense. The zaku doesn't use tank tracks anywhere. It doesn't need spare tank tracks. It is just added weight.

At least the nextflix series isn't canon.

I saw no Sakura thread in the catalogue so here's one.

I'm currently finishing Sakura Wars 2. I'm right after the mission where you rescue the Hanagumi from being encased in crystals and Kyogoku summons the weird ass flying fortress Musashi..

So far I really enjoyed it. I picked Kanna again (and I think I got the file transfer right on Mednafen) and her loneliness left me shocked. I knew her backstory from Ouka Kenran, but I had no idea things would get so sad. I couldn't help but cry too when she was crying by her father's tomb. It was a good pick though, Kanna is very cute despite her being a tough tomboy. She gets bashful so easily~
Sadly I find her koubu specials in this game less cool than the ones for the first game, they couldn't animate a karate koubu quite right yet.

Most chapters were very fun and full of great pacing and escalation. Sadly though I found Orihime's to be rushed when Ogami forcefully drags her to talk to her father.
Orihime and Reni are great btw. The Eisenkelds looked really fancy and cool, too.
