This show makes no fucking sense what so ever. I cannot understand what anybody's motivations are.
Why does Char want to fight for the AEUG? To prolong a conflict between them both so Axis Zeon can show up and take them both out? Because Contolism? Because Lalah's ghost?
Why does Kamille fight? Because Jerid called him a pussy?
Why does Bright fight? Because he got slapped around?
Why does Katz fight? Because hurr durr 'me angry orphan grr'?
What's Amuro's major malfunction? For that matter, what the fuck is wrong with Beltorchika??? She's crazier than Katejina. Katejina was just more violent.

"The Titans are bad." Okay, cool. That makes sense. "Zeon bad." Or "Feddies made me do it under threat of execution" made total sense in 0079. Titans are evil. It's painfully obvious. That should be all the motivation these characters need. They have more trouble figuring out their reason for fighting than Zero in Megaman X4.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I really don't know if this is the right place to put this. Yes, I know /tv/ exists but it seems like a cesspool, basically /pol/lite these days, and I don't want to deal with that. I've been here for decades, and I know you appreciate Pacific Rim, so I wanted to share this with you. Feel free to tell me to fuck off though if no one cares. I trust you guys.

I now own the original Gypsy Danger jaeger helmet Raleigh Becket wore in the first suit-up scene in the film.

You are forgetting that the Kaijus are artificially grown and made. Each new Kaiju is an improvement over the last one. The aliens who made the Kaiju were learning. And the aliens were making bigger, stronger, and tougher Kaiju with each new version. They started to outpace humanity's technology. Humanity was going bankrupt trying to fight the Kaijus and the Jaegers couldn't keep up.
>>
>>22844815
I had this idea for a Pacific Rim tv show with the budget of Game of Thrones focusing on the first few kaijuu that breached before jaegers, the jaeger program being developed, and the first deployment and kaijuu kill of each MK1 jaeger.

Trespasser was probably a category 3 since its size is close to knifehead. My theory is that they sent a category 3 first since they didn't know what the response would be and the kaijuu gradually got smaller all the way to category 1, since they might be less costly to make and they can cause a lot of destruction before they get taken down by the military. Romeo Blue's first kaijuu kill was Hardship, which was actually small enough to jump on Romeo Blue. And Romeo was on the shorter end of the jaegers.
After Trespasser the next two kaijuu that were nuked only needed one, however the next kaijuu, Scissure, they thought only needed one had to be nuked again. The second time it was nuked, Scissure was too close to the city they were trying to protect so half of it got destroyed in the blast. So it looks like the precursors were making the kaijuu more resistant to nukes which is probably why the jaeger program was given the go ahead.

So the thing that worries me about Del Toro doing any more, and don't get me wrong, I love Del Toro, is that the idea that Newt was evil came from him. Also the aliens are us from the far future... some of his ideas aren't good.

>>22845521
>is that the idea that Newt was evil came from him
Well considering the first film established that drifting is a two way street, the idea that the precursors could wreak havoc on his feeble mind wouldn't out of the question. The problem lies firmly in its awful execution, but yeah the precursors being time travelers is fucking stupid tho.

>Each arc covers each nations' attempts to counter the kaiju, and then their first jaeger models
>Depending on their economic and political structure, countries have corporations fighting to push their jaeger models or state control over design and production
>Pilots of each country test out different jaegers with unique weapons, each varying in design doctrine and other priorities
>Corporate or government fuckery gets some pilots killed

Eh, Eiji was sorta twinkish in the first half of the series and then he became a Kenshiro-clone in the Hokuto arc. So I'm sure they'd be able to transition to Eiji's transformation to naive teen to hardened guerrilla.

As for Daba from L-Gaim, he's probably akin to Lelouch from Code Geass in holding his cards close to him and even deceiving his friends and allies. So I wouldn't say he's more alpha than contemporary mecha leads so much as he's far more savvy and definitely even villain-esque on how far he's willing to go.

Watching Age for the first time, enjoying it so far
I like the concept, and the main mobile suits have some interesting ideas, and it seems like a perfect way to get kids introduced to Gunpla with all the different forms

The dub is fucking atrocious though, like seriously bad
Does anyone else think this is why it failed as a series?

Are you? Putting aside that the plan was rejected on various grounds, and that the actual plan enacted was essentially the opposite by fiscally empowering Germany to the point it's still benefitting today as one of the world's superpowers, the Morgenthau Plan didn't call for genocide and was more about demolishing Germany's industrial infrastructures to ensure it couldn't be a major combatant again in future. A plan that was projected to create a famine, but was not actually geared towards it. Again though, rejected in favor of actually helping Germany because Hitler and WWII were basically proof that trying to punish a nation for a past war was kind of a bad idea and just stoked a hatred guaranteeing future conflict.

AGE's entire issue is that Bandai was sold on the misguided belief that some game studio's idea would make Bandai millions more than what they made with 00. On top of that, Bandai was in a highly experimental mood trying to push multiple ideas that were simply too advanced for the time.

- Gunpla with RFID tags to scan into a game. Good concept, but the lack of game support and the inclusion of such tags caused the cost of AGE Gunpla with them to be anywhere from 1.2 to 1.5x more than Non-AGE Gunpla. Later replaced the RFID tags with in-box codes to cut down on cost.
- Tried to aim at young boys with "Baby Grade" Gunpla that were basically just arms/legs/torso that also had RFID tags to interact with the G-AGEing device. Another good concept, except again it only worked with like 3-4 toys and the AGE Arcade units meant to be at toy stores and arcades.
- Tried to push a massive game that was hoped to draw in the same crowds other Level 5 games did. Instead was delayed a year or more and came in too late for anyone to care, despite the few players stating it had a better storyline than the anime and would have been worth a playthrough.
- Bandai believed the director's idea that selling the worst and most basic-looking Wears as kits while teasing all the cool ones in the game would entice players to buy the game then vote on what Wears they wanted kits of afterwards. Instead, it just led to a mostly forgettable series of Gunpla.

FLY, YOU FOOLS! There were no scans of the original manual for the MG Banshee Norn (which, being P-Bandai, is nigh-impossible to find), but the plates kept the attachment joints for the Sinanju Stein and Nu Gundam Ver.Ka to add the Shield Booster parts of the DE to their shields rather than simply using them onto the Banshee's. Were they crossed out on the manual?

I would like to see an engineer tackle the idea of the Zakambulance moving patients while running.
The sheer amount of shock absorption and auto balancing necessary.

Do you think Guin actually changed to become a better person after the epilogue, to atone for who he was, or did he just tried the same thing all over again ? (Just without money this time)

I’m not sure Merrybell will even stick around with him.

The whole thing with Guin is that he wanted to fuck Loran as a man.
He just used the Laura name because he was afraid of society judging him for liking guys. He even said that he wouldn’t mind «taking the dress» if he had to do it, if not for his dream of industrial revolution

He has no interest in women. He would have made a move to Kiel if not.
