>>23927002>Pilots who will never be anything other than a pilotI like the basic idea. Being a mecha pilot because you're so misaligned from everything and everyone else to begin with or become like that because you pilot and, one way or another, that's the end result. Home being where you can shut yourself inside the cockpit, all right with the world.
This material predominantly seems to be the field of tumblr adjacent weirdoes who create or discuss it predominantly for sexual titillation, which is rather a shame because the idea could be cool but it seems like it's basically sci-fantasy BDSM to these guys.
Can you people stop bumping this tourist's fanfic data mining thread?
>>23928554Nah, they just played Armored Core 6 and watched it's Secret Level Tie in episode and got an appreciation for this oddly specific character archetype.To be fair, Keanu Reeves played the role well.
Here’s the thread to gush over Giant Robo, bitch about Tetsujin not being translated and hold a 60 message debate over whether Yokoyama really invented mecha.And top pretending that mecha with faces aren’t cool.
>>23924366Uranus is also the name of the Aztec statue looking thing Ivan pilots.
>>23925206Ivan's mech is a dogu
>>23925206There's Uranus, Uraeus and SinFor some reason the Giant Robo OVA renamed Sin to Uraenus.
wtf did I just watch?no, really wat was that last episode?also, the CGI was not as bad as I heard people complain about, the VF-0D was pretty sexy
>>23927888Has that disease ever been defined?
>>23928318Homosexuality
>>23926891Both the other replies hit the main points. It gets a little muddled in the third act and the 'too much idolshit' crowd didn't like the approach it took to things.They're not wrong but I liked the in-universe evolution of having an explicitly militarised idol unit and how it helped keep that stuff tied into the primary plot more directly. I think some entries can get a little too lost in the music scene subplots at times.It could've done more with it but I really liked the politics. This is the first time we've really seen an outside perspective on the NUN and seeing the various ways that people can interpret the way that 'we're here and we're understanding and friends now fuckers' can be interpreted and how they can fumble it was cool. Same with juxtaposing the expansion of their popular culture and a fairly mainstream idol group against the 'retvrn to tradition' stuff the Windmereians have going on.Some people dislike that it functionally doesn't have a love triangle, personally I really liked the main couple and was glad the show gave them more room to breathe versus Frontier's comical degree of keeping things in the air.Keeping things a little vague deliberately, and annoyingly the films actually change some of these parts a little.Obviously it's not perfect but I think the reputation in the western fanbase is self-reinforcing. People hear it's the bad one and see people talking shit about it and go in expecting not to like it, looking for the things people told them suck about it and focusing on them from that perspective.You would think people would have learned by now that every entry is wildly different and go along for the ride a little more.
>>23926891NTA but my personal issue was that the show basically wastes your time with Mirage to "mirage" a love triangle/completely one sided unrequited love and Frejya has too much of that over the top life or death anime stuff with her issues being extreme situation slop rather than having issues of getting enraptured by the life of an idol or in general of just being a girl. Everything else is better than anything involving those characters but at the end of the day its still a rather bland show and I think Kawamori forgot to change gears from Aquarion back to Macross.If theres one particularly praise worthy point its that the music is catchy but amongst the TV shows anyone should struggle to put Delta as anything but dead last. Yes even 7 is more endearing.
Starting airing at July 8, 23:30 JST.PVshttps://youtu.be/aQWo0lR5lNwhttps://youtu.be/d3n8-15GCG8Hopefully the additional budget can hold up the final battle against the 3 Colossi.
>>23926624The one your sister made you play before you got ran over and she falls in with the wrong crowd.
>>23926628Isn't that exactly what happens in this show. Though Leon didn't die from getting run over, he fell down a flight of stairs then all the shit happened with his sister until she reincarnated as Marie. Speaking of Marie, has anyone read her spinoff?
>>23926633Yes. That's the joke.
>>23925095Because they are, except the rating, it actually goes borderline R-Rated sometimes. This one at least does makes up for some fun, since essentially>isekai man keeps failing upwards despite only really wanting to live a chill life in the boonies.
>>23925352Tbf, it's just two girls at first and they like each other as much as the MC likes them both, and he does not have any innate 'broken isekai power' that keeps attracting women. The dark princess of the enemy kingdom also tries several times to coerce the MC into her side, but he does not buy it, since he does not want to betray his country and has no interest in flat-chested women.
Which mecha has the sexiest legs? For me, it's the Reben Wolf. High heels, thrusters, and nice angled frame to it. It's the best.
>>23908972They skipped leg day: Altaisen
A lot of Nagano mechs have nice high heels.
Over the last few years I've gone out of my way to revisit alot of /m/ adjacent Western media. Nowadays I'm wondering if I've overlooked any major examples. Feel free to bring up some of your own favorites.
>>23928448
Does MD Geist 2 technically count as a Western /m/? It was partially funded by Central Park Media wasn't it?
>>23928449
>>23928481
>>23928434>You would think the West would understand that mecha is just an extrapolation on the knight and his steed dynamicUnless the horse is a girl, only girls will read horse stuff. And if you make the mech a girl, you're going down the Forever Peace slippery slope, which ends in multi-genital full pack futanari gestalt global peace.
The latest chapters have been suspenseful (no spoilers on the OP, if you know, you know), plus some other anon occasionally does summaries of the latest chapters when they come out.
>>23924489What does this have to do with Sentai Red Isekai?
First part of the EN translation of chapter 51 is out on Manga-Up by the way
How do feel about Shinn?
>>23928513Its more like they fixed the issues with destiny with a new nuclear generator and fixed up shinn.He's basically srw shin but cannon. Im glad my boy got some respect in anime form
>>23928111Keep crying but he didn’t lose a thing. He never stops being one of the protags. He was never the only one either
>>23928492>Did it really? Freedom and Justice got actual upgrades while Destiny got rgb joints.Yes anon. Really. Or did you forget about all those Destiny Clones?
>>23927727he's okayshame Freedom lobotomized him
I have no really strong feelings about him (I'd probably say my favorite character in the series is Murrue or Athrrun btw), he's not really like Kamille (inasmuch as Destiny is a Zeta retread) at all except maybe they kind of have a temper, but even more than that I get the sense the staff really want you to think of him as a somewhat brainless follow or at least a permanent apprentice. Maybe this has to do with the whole mentor-mentee path Freedom went down and something about younger people looking up to older people. But goddamn I'm just led to believe the kid can't think for himself after seeing Freedom and him buying into FAITH. Except maybe his compassion for Stellar although that's more just him thinking with his dick. Since, though, he's pretty much the only one who actually loved a druggie in the series except for the druggies themselves, at least that shows he's got a lot of good will for someone everyone else just wrote off. His hero moments are fucking great though, and the core fighter into the mountain and taking down the Destroys were top tier moments that serve to show his determination and resolve. And him taking down Auel was peak too.
The thing I never got about the SEED remaster changing Nicol's death is that they don't actually change anything else surrounding it. Kira still reacts the same way as he did when he reflexively killed Nicol, all his dialogue about it is the same. Literally the only thing they changed was the visual.What's the point of changing the visual but nothing else to back it up? Do you think they would have if they could have?
>>23917553Yeah, iirc the animation director even said that it seemed like Nicol had no intention of returning alive, and so he didn't even try to evade the blade in the hopes of giving Athrun a chance to get away. Might be misremembering
>>23918498Who was the animation director?
>>23924553Someone who makes me mad.
>>23927597Zhen lin also makes me mad.
Which Gundam MC of the past decade has the best/worst final upgrade?
>>23928334Ew, that is an ugly piece of shit and an insult to the 00.
>>23928334Imagine thinking this fat piece of shit is a good design.
>>23928488>>23928336Whats wrong with it(aside the stupid punch gimmick). Its just a bulked up 00 with a soccer attack.
>>23900056I will never forgive gcucks for raping the design of the rx-78 so badly that it made the netflix gundam actually look good.WHO the fuck approved that? The mediocre "what if char won" fanfiction plot was more modern shit writing but still better than 0083's ending, all they had to do was NOT disgrace the franchise with godawful designs.
>>23928530
With the anniversary of Gquuuuuux, what went wrong? Where did it all go wrong?
>>23928331Close, it's actually Challia wankMy favourite Challia wank was him killing most of the newtype corps offscreen and then slaughtering the remaining handful in seconds while he said "newtype corps... forgive me... you were so strong..."
>>23928399I was really not okay with that.
>>23919737I don't hate gcucks, but THIS? This is heresy. Turn A was incredible. Gcucks is mediocre with a couple neat things and a couple of terrible things.This level of blatant insult to turn A is almost as bad as defending the eureka 7 sequel.
>>23928361Kikeroga transformation was a post 0080 modification.
>>23928593>t.
Honest thoughts on this Super Mechanoid?
https://x.com/yonetanikantoku/status/2071440570464252174
I like hom more the GGG. The lion chest makes him look fat, but gfg has pecs.
Gaofighgar is my favorite of the King of Braves. I just like its design more than the Lion headed versions.>>23927156It's not meant to be a downgrade. In fact it is more powerful than the OG Gaogaigar. The problem is with both GGG and GFG is that they cannot compete with the origin tech. Even the OG Gaogaigar had human made parts with an Alien core. GFG may not have that Alien core, but its basic engine is better and more efficient and its parts are all upgrades over the original Gaogaigar parts.But the Genesic system of Genesic Gaogaigar with parts birthed in G-Crystal are just superior.>>23927187Yeah, the "Liner Gao 2" is the weirdest part for me. It's not even a train of any kind but they still treat it as one... And then, yes, the disposable boosters every time.Even if it was "Futuristic non existent sky train" I'd be more fine with it... But they have to make it fold up into a rocket ship.. But still launch like a train...
>>23927997>But the Genesic system of Genesic Gaogaigar with parts birthed in G-Crystal are just superior.Genesic is so much more powerful than the other Gaos to the point of being funny. Like, it beats GaGaGaddy's Goldion Hell and Heaven with just the Goldion Nails alone.

>>23924985Is there any art of the Crossbones when they were still just the F97 in universe? Pre-pirate larping gimmicks?
>>23927932>Judau Ashta reportedly said that ever since Amuro Ray the form of the Gundam has been absorbing human will which has become the machine's power>If that's the case the name truly has significance>But then Federation would have already performed miracles with Ground Gundams...Heh well that’s one way to explain why Amuro’s Gundam had such a significant earth shattering impact compared to the ground gundam’s, RX units 4 to 6 and the pale riders lol
>>23928479well the pale riders aren't gundams, they're pale riders
>>23928489I know lol
>>23928427>We know that the ZZ went to Jupiter, I'm guessing the Hyaku Shiki and Zeta were dismantled and every part poured over and studied considering the number of Zeta variants and Delta variants that popped up during and after ZZ Gundam and beyond.in-universe nobody knows Judau is still running around with ZZ and by the time Feddies took the Hyaku, Zeta and Mk-II most of their kids were already running around and the suits weren't anything groundbreaking. Sealing them away was essentially superstition. I remember there's one magazine story about the Zeta being found in some colony junk heap and restored as a museum display piece.

>>23927047No it was mostly just a backstory explaination as to why Britannia was on the US mainland instead of the British isles because that was a much bigger place to set an Empire that controls most of the world. So they just said the Revolutionary War failed because Franklin sold the colonies out to Britain (implied to be because he was Geassed to) but then when the French Revolution happened they broke all the way to the UK so the royal family and nobility fled to the still British controlled US colonies and reformed it into the Britannian Empire
