How do I get through Zeta? Does it get better? I'm at episode 18 and I'm bored. Other than a few moments there's been nothing interesting plot wise happening, the fights feel like repetitive filler, and the animation can't carry it either. I don't see why everyone glazes this one and I've enjoyed everything else of the UC I've seen more (Origin, 0079, 8th MS, 0080, 83, various bits of others)

>this person doesn't like my favorite show? Impossible! They must not get it's absolute genius! I'll have to insult them for this"

I thought your argument was about production order? Not this strawman about the quality of the show? Fucking retard bitching about something else entirely now?
>>
>>23561308
And yet here you are throwing a tantrum back, continuously responding because I threw some insults back at you.
As stated numerous times. I watched 0079 before Zeta, there's nothing in production order that I'm missing, and not only that, but you've yet to provide any clear evidence how this would even change the issues of zeta WITHIN ITSELF. You don't seem to have the capacity to approach that topic, just "it's good if you don't like it you're retarded and you must have not watched it in the right order or something" like a child. You should have the critical thinking skills to pick apart what makes a show good down to it's writing, themes, animation, characterization, pacing, shot composition, score, etc. but it seems you lack that.
Maybe you just can't handle that someone doesn't like your favorite show? Does that upset you so much?

I want a war taking place in hell. Both sides have been killing and maiming each other for years, with none of the dead actually staying dead. Everyone forgets over time the cost of the war and returns to a battle that never ends. The only hope of escaping is coming to grips with the sins committed in all your past lives and working to atone for just as long.
That or a timetravel war.

Digimon Beatbreak, the tenth season of the Digimon anime and the first since Digimon Ghost Game concluded in March 2023, starts next at Sunday 9am JST.

A production preview special aired in its timeslot earlier today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ00CZ9E-PI

>Takeru and Shogo from the comedy duo Tokyo Hoteison, whose love for Digimon knows no bounds, will be joined by Xu Fenfgan and Hiromu Takatsuka from the boy band INI. Together they will sneak into the production studio of Digimon Beatbreak, a place they normally can't enter! The latest footage from Digimon Beatbreak will be revealed during the program!

>After the TV broadcast, there will be a 'complete' version made available, which will feature bonus content that couldn't be included in the TV broadcast, including a Digimon related discussion from the four hosts, and their enthusiastic performance of "that famous song" that everyone who loves Digimon knows.

What are your expectations for Digimon Beatbreak?

>Bydo side in particular suffers from some horrendous balancing decisions
What do you mean? If anything the first game had poor bydo balance because of the 1-turn charge on Gains and the second game fixed it. I think I used a good variety of units and I liked how different my tactics were while playing bydo compared to the previous GZRA campaign. Although it's been a while since I played it and I can't check my save right now so I might have forgotten something.
I'm worried the remake will add the overpowered units that were formerly DLC, including the 1-turn-charge Gains.

1 turn Gains is probably never coming back, it already exists as an unreleased DLC unit.
Some of the more notable balance issues:
-Boldo’s upgrades being either mid or downright worse.
-Sneks utterly worthless because they only move 1 space a turn, only have a ram attack, and take up 7 hexes.
-Meltcraft Jr, Rebo 2, Bydo flesh balls, Bellmate balls, the ground-pounders - roster is bloated with unusable garbage.
-Gusternet only usable on like 2 stages.
I could go on and on.

For Tactics 1? It’s not too hard, since the time limits are more lenient. Striders are your friends, have your POW armor follow them around to resupply them, and nuke everything into oblivion. Make ample use of your POW Armor and the Jormungand class’s Decoy functions early on, as the explosion from them is powerful enough to cripple or outright destroy whatever it hits. Your Midnight Eye is indispensable until you get your Drednought Class cruiser, as without it you are practically flying blind, and that is a death sentence when bumping into an enemy you can’t see often means death from wave cannon. Beware that if you fire your wave cannon at a unit that also has its own wave cannon charged, they will counterpunch with their own, causing heavy damage. Also: the AI doesn’t care about friendly fire and will happily fire through its own troops with a wave cannon just to fuck you over.

Tactics II is several magnitudes more difficult because it introduces more strict time limits, nerfs the above cheese strats, and depending on what side you play you’ll be handicapped early on in different ways. Jamming becomes extremely important later in the game, and you are often badly outnumbered and outgunned.

Deep Sleep sucks anyway, use Danse Macabre.
>>
>>23561177
Not really, it's Danse Macabre that kind of sucks, it's barely stronger than Sprechchor somehow despite having higher memory requirements, the only thing it has over Sprech is the flinch value which is the same as Deep Sleep anyway.
Deep Sleep with A pellet rolls is basically just Danse Macabre but with a lot more ammo and much faster fire which makes it the best shotgun in the game for grab fire by a huge margin, the only real downside it has over Danse Macabre outside of being impossibly rare is that it has a wider spread, it's potentially the most versatile shotgun in the game.

Thanks to Amiami's pre-owned items... I finally got to finish my Tekkaman Blade armor plus figure collection with the Sol Tekkaman Unit 1 Kai.

I love how the series hasn't been relevant in a long time... But still receives new figures and kits from multiple sources. It's something I wish could happen to Guyver, but Max Factory keeps that license held pretty close to their chest.

One thing is that they seem so flawed and unprofessional that they don't give the impression of a former elite military outfit, and none of them (except possibly Holland) seem like having anything like the abilities to back that up. Their behaviour is more like clique stoners than air jocks and the latter would make more sense.

The Izumo crew was much more likeable and interesting that I wish they sunk gekkostate earlier on. It seemed like they changed sides to let the good guys have at least a few likeable characters for once.

I mean, the behavior of soldiers in some military dramas isn't too far from removed from how Gekkostate behaves, you could chalk it up their unprofessional nature to being as how they cope with their former lives as a butchering squad which is what I did on my most recent rewatch.

If you watch mecha for the giant robots then you have bad media literacy

So the Gundam can just tank anything, even the Red Comet, but then the Gouf for some reason gives it trouble because it has an electric whip? But it doesn't matter because he wins anyway and continues to steamroll everything. A single 14 year old in a giant robot. But a kid taking out 3 other guntanks crosses the line? Most of its not very believable, but we suspend our disbelief because it's fiction and these are the protagonists

I don't care much about mech retcons.
Origin feels goofy. A bit of humour and slapstick is fine and even enhances the experience, but the OVA just doesn't stop making Dozle look like an idiot.
Sayla, Ral and Hamon were the saving grace, they prevent it from being completely unwatchable.
Episode 1 is probably the worst episode to start on, the recap at the start of next episode is unironically better. There's so much stuff that feels like a pulpy action movie instead of Gundam, which isn't necessarily bad, but it baffles me to see people unironically treat it as some serious political thriller or something.
Origin, like most prequels and spin offs, tries to do callbacks, references and unnecessary connections that makes the world feel smaller. Yashima helping Mass move to Texas colony, Char going to work at Jaburo and meeting Lalah, WB crew being in the same class, Hitler line etc.
Charma academy episode was great, except for the rebellion that is framed as the starting point of OYW, that was retarded.
Somewhere in the middle I had a thought that Yas might be doing LOGH instead of Gundam and being really bad at it.
Newtypism is barely focused upon, this in turn ends up hurting Kycilia 's character. The story frames her as a schemer who wants to prolong the war and might have been the reason for Sasro's death (poor dude barely got any screen time). Her role should have been given to Gihren, it makes more sense and gives a more compelling narrative.
Operation British was devastating, the little segment of a couple in the colony enhanced it.
I enjoyed the friendly rivalry between Tri stars and Char.

Because bandai has been looking to replace drawn mecha with 3d for a while(for a number of reasons, including costs and the dwindling number of 2d animators who can into mecha.) And whatever studios japan uses for their 3d animation suck balls. Still better looking than hathaway's 3d though.

Regarding Char, he is such a non character for first two episodes. I would have liked more to see more of little Casval.
I didn't mind original Char and Casval resemblance, but it should either have been a small plot point or explained in detail. It ends up in the middle where Char seems like a psychopath for screwing over a boy he knew and lived with for some time.
Char here is just so bland, he doesn't screw up much, barely gives any intresting quotes and is less introspective.
The attempts to make him feel threatening falls flat on face and ends up feeling like some parody.
Somebody described Origin as a fabricated story with some truth narrated by Quattro to Kamille on one long day at Argama. I would agree, it's the only way to make sense of this mess.

He's been one of the least bad antagonists in Gundam history.

He did some shady things, in a universe where doing shady things is the normal. Trying to put our rules onto a different universe that has evolved in different ways is basically pointless.

In the end, he was a current Government supporter who put down a rebellion by one of their aristocrats who thought his fancy scheme to take over control of the Government would work... Who also brought in a mercenary group to back him up. Tekkadan was dumb for following Macgillis... But everything had been going so right for them for so long, they got cocky as hell and thought that they could change the world after the shit they already had pulled off.

Was using the outlawed Danslief like he did shady? Yes. Was he somewhat justified in using it? I would say yes. Barbatos and Gusion were basically just as bad as the threat of a mobile armor in their eyes. Nuking them from orbit was the only way to make sure to finish the job.

Yes, while Iok was under him, bad shit happened... But he also slapped that bitch down and stopped him from backing up the traitor to Teiwaz, which allowed Tekkadan an easy win.
>>

>Tekkadan was dumb
I mean, they were essentially just a bunch of illiterate, uneducated kids whose only skills were maneuvering glorified heavy machinery. It's cool that they aspired to bigger things, but you do still need to have some semblance of understanding of politics etc to do what they aim to achieve.

The problem is that even when the fat kiddo was alive, even when he voiced concerns over things, in the end, the decision still goes down to Orga telling Mika to wreck shit. It would have made the narratives hit harder if we see the gang listening to Biscuit telling them to quit being so reckless gorilla brains, and that lead to them getting some small wins etc and what not.
