>Watch the first few episodes of the new Ultraman Quanta anime
>Set in a far future where humans create an interstellar civilization and join the wider galactic community
>The show is if you combined Ultraman with the usual Star Trek formula as the main cast are members of a survey ship and visit various points of interests in the galaxy and survey uncharted space
>MC of the show, Ryu Satsuma, is a 12 year old and literally THE youngest host to an Ultraman and thus very non-standard
>Ultraman Quanta also is non-standard as his form not only is more alien and organic, but some of his powers have him shapeshift his body in order to use them (hell, when he uses his equivalent of the spacium beam, his forearm opens revealing a prismatic cell membrane that generates the beam)
>Quanta seems to be inspired by the likes of Venom and Guyver in terms of how his biology functions (hell, the first episode literally had him, in the form of a silver slime fuse with Ryu in order to save him from dying to a mutagenic virus) and has some physics breaking abilities (light-bending, gravity manipulation, creating wormholes and more) along with the ability to assimilate samples of defeated kaiju and use their abilities and even combine those at the cost of faster energy consumption
>The transformation is much different since the kid literally turns silver fluid after being engulfed in light and morphs into Quanta
Overall the show is very promising. The action is good, the characters have substance and the MC isn't an annoying brat most of the time and it being set in space allows for a ton of scenarios.
But what was the producer's intention with having most of the villains being female and sexy to boot? Even the new incarnation of Bogal in human form is a stacked milf that constantly snacks on something.
But overall will our shota find his abducted dad and will he and Quanta save the galaxy from whatever darkness is rising on the horizon?

Some people don't try to see similarities between power/powered armor and mecha.
The former may very well be a robotic suit which should count as a mecha.

Reminder that Tabula Rasa will take the Vertigo Reactor at Vatican VI and put it in his Neanderthal unit. Dr. Breivel was an engineer on both projects, so they're likely compatible. Or Neanderthal is gonna get fucked up when they attack Vatican VI and they will utilize it in the upgrade.

Ehhh... Colorful sure, but most of the cast is unlikable or doesn't have a personality. Suletta is alright at first but wears out her welcome with a total lack of development.

Was Hathaway right for shooting Chan? Could Quess have being saved if not for her?
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>22597060
Has, yes i'm ESL, now answer
>>
>>22597053
No. Although it wasnt clear to Hathaway, Quess wanted a father figure and Hathaway could never give her that. Its why she leaves him on a dime in favor of Char even though they got along so well. I seriously doubt Hathaway could have convinced her, saying vain things like "you'll come to your senses once you see my face" in that moment clearly shows the wishful thinking on his part. He could have been her friend, but not a lover that can save her.
All the more reason why it was detestable of him to kill Chen in a fit of rage when she was clearly and earnestly acting with his best interest in mind.

You could interpret this in a more charitable way and say that Chen made a similar mistake to Char in that she impatiently tried to end a problem that could have been solved through human understanding if she had been more patient, and maybe Hathaway could miraculously have made Quess get over her desires, but that somehow seems less realistic than Amuro hoping for humanity to recify itself on its own.

Anyway, Chen is cool, fuck Hathaway. Havent watched Hathaway Flash but hope it ends with him being shot down by another kid like himself.
>>

>Havent watched Hathaway Flash but hope it ends with him being shot down by another kid like himself.

Quests was already damaged goods before she even got on that shuttle for space. Deadbeat dad, absent mother, basically raised by hippies, she was horribly nonfunctional when Hathaway first met her. And things just got worse after Char and Gyunei got their claws in her, anyone trying to save her would need an industrial excavator to dig out the mountain of shit piled on top before they could even begin to reach her.

It might have been possible to save her given a decent amount of time and not in the middle of a damned battlefield. But in that moment she was nothing but a neurotic attack hound and putting her out of her misery was an act of mercy. Hathaway's inability to understand that is what led him down his path of darkness, and anyone who spends any time in reasonable contemplation would have realized it. He didn't because he lacked the maturity and experience, which is what led him to becoming radicalized.

Thing is, Showa Kamen Rider subtly touched upon the themes that the forced experimentation that the early Riders faced made them isolated from humanity and questioned what makes a human. It wasn't Devilman-level of introspection but it was there in a more oblique manner.

Different animators and different studios. Various slices of work for Tekkaman Blade were outsourced all over the place, many times even within the same episode various different scenes would go to different studios. Whichever could do them cheapest. Think Bamco is a penny-pincher? Try Tatsunoko on for size.

While you're at it, you can also blame them for the SDF Macross licensing hell, because iirc Tatsunoko are the dicks that sold Harmony Gold a sublicense to Macross that they weren't even at liberty to sell.

1. They're in a very asteroid-thick area with tons of space debris, charging forward at enemies who shoot mostly at their fronts.
2. Idiot GM pilots keep ditching their shields. At least this way, they either can't throw them away or even if they throw 1 away, they'll still have another. I swear, so many OYW battlefields must be littered with those shields. Not even broken or damaged, just thrown away and possibly outliving their pilots.

Io is using the radio music with the psicommu system (the cloned head of Fuu) to distract Daryl, and Daryl had just killed the G-Bull and two Guncannons that tried to snipe him, and destroyed the hands of the Zeong. He was very distracted
>>
>>22597276
Daryl was fighting a whole fleet.

But honestly, this whole manga the author has been giving Io a bunch of a ton of help and power ups because he's a weaker pilot than Daryl.

The author wants to have this weird "both sides are equal. War is hell " nonsense so he keeps giving the Federation all this plot armor.

Realistically, a fleet of Psycho Zakus should destroy everything in their path. We saw what a single one did when Daryl was the pilot. It solo'd an entire fleet. Yet when the monks actually DO get a fleet of 100 psycho Zakus, they get turned into cannon fodder by the Federation Fleet. Doesn't make sense really.

But that wouldn't allow them to kill Kira right in front of Lacus to finally break her and get her to accept them and Orphee, nor can he and Aura stand the idea that "the old race" are daring to defy them and weren't killed off in their earlier trap.

It's like people asking why Ribbons in 00 made a bunch of expendable suicide drones. And the answer is because Ribbons in a megalomaniac that gets off on the idea of forcing people to die for him. These guys aren't supposed to be sane and logical.
>>
From the novel I think it is fine as the ending of Seed with Kira and Lacus retired. I still think it does not need sequel, Kira and Lacus needed their romance movie because some people thought their relationship were vague and platonic, but we don't need every couple to have the same type of movie they already kissed and such and clearly love each other. Prequel is fine but sequel I don't think so except with entire new idea from new writers with new characters and for fanservice maybe they could tell how are the old cast doing in slide shows or short scene.

Second batch with 26-50 is out now. Full details about the upscale process are in the Nyaa posts, but basically, this is an upscale of the original SD version of SEED. It was done using a custom upscaling model trained specifically on the HD Remaster.

This version is based on the SD Blu-rays from Rightstuf, so the source is much cleaner than the original DVDs, and it's from hchcsen's remuxes, so they're as good as you can get.

Quick encode of the OP. The credits definitely get fucked from the upscaling, but I think it would be forgivable in the grand scheme of things.
