How come Evangelion fans and Mecha fans can't ever find a middle ground of agreement? It's always either Evangelion revolutionized the genre, or Evangelion did nothing.

>>23674501Stop trying to sound smart on a topic you obviously know little about, both terms and real robot vs super robot threads predate the existence of the TVtrope website, which seem to live rent-free in your head. What's next? Indian slur?Complain about SRW use of it or have a constructive discussion over the usefulness of a single dimensional graph to represent the infinite variety of mechanized fictional walkers and better alternative if you want or just kill yourself to elevate the level of the discussion.
>>23674522tbf to anon he says right there that it's vaguely just kind of a convenient phrase that is almost completely undefinable and you should avoid using it as a guide for making or judging anything. That means they're also having the exact same issues we are lolIt's oddly convenient when you want to say "less like braves, more like patlabor" or vice versa in less words, but that's all it'll ever be, and it's also perfectly fine to call the whole thing meaningless bullshit and ignore it.
>>23675179Everyone know that and don't use it as a guide unless they are just trollingIt's just an easy way to tell a show is focusing its design on looking cool, or looking technical, a different type of cool.More convenient than expecting everyone to know decades old mecha series.
>>23675152>Stop trying to sound smart on a topic you obviously know little about, both terms and real robot vs super robot threads predate the existence of the TVtrope website, which seem to live rent-free in your head. What's next? Indian slur?I'm not trying to "sound smart", typing in coherent English isn't a high bar to clear.>have a constructive discussion over the usefulness of a single dimensional graph to represent the infinite variety of mechanized fictional walkers Of course "Super vs Real" is a terrible way to categorise mecha anime, if you actually watched any you'd know that something like Mazinger can easily be argued to be a more "realistic" show compared to Gundam but yet it is seen as the poster child for "Super Robot". The way SRW does it is based purely on vibes, which is fine for a video game, so I have no reason to complain about it. >better alternativeThe best alternative is to just fucking describe what you want or what you mean. Do you want a military drama? Do you tend to prefer light-hearted MOTW shows? None of these should be a hard ask if you actually watch anime and know what you like and want more of. Asking for a "Real Robot" show means nothing when there's hundreds of show that you could call "Real", all of which have very unique settings. There's a mountain of difference between something like VOTOMS, FLAG, and Galient, and those are all by the same director. >kill yourself to elevate the level of the discussion.You first, ESL tourist faggot.
The year is one month away from finishing, what will be the last mecha or toku media you watch/read/play?
>>23649822Requiem for Vengeance. It was better then I thought it'd be, but that's mostly because I thought it'd be complete dogshit.
>>23664145>>23664145Combattler has some surprising episodes in the first half, but the 2nd is as much of a generic 70s Super Robot show as you can get. There are still some good episodic plots here and there, but the show is -completely episodic- during that 2nd phase, with no continuity at all after the two initial episodes of the 2nd part until you get to the last 3.
>>23674677Second half is unironic Mazinger ripoffGranted I think it was an improvement over Raideen, which was basically the exact same show as Combattler, but inverted with the more interesting episodes in the second halfAt least Garuda got to be an actual character. Sharkin was literally nothing
Studying early 80's fan animations and supplementary material in attempt to absorb the powerful mojo.
finished Mechander RoboThat was... something, I guess.It's probably the closest that Japan came to create an Americanized version of a Korean bootleg show, right down to the main character being named Jimmy Orion.Amusingly, pretty much all of the "missing" episodes of the dub are the ones that can safely be skipped since they're almost nothing but recycled footage.

what's the most violent and misanthropic mecha anime?
>>23673624Correct answer
>>23670747Godannar
>>23672407It's been almost four years nowsince I watched Mellowlink, and I have never been able to stop thinking about it. It's just so pure. So good. There's a funny few lines from the seiyuu interview in the lore/setting booklet (untranslated but included with the LD boxset, think it's on panda) with Akio Otsuka, since Kiek was one of (if not the) first role he ever voiced, where he expresses gratitude for all the fan letters he received for his voice... but sadness that they were about his voice being cool and not the actual quality of his performance.

What happens if the infantry fail to cover their ears while MS scale solid weaponry are being fired nearby? Permanent hearing loss, or something worse like the pressure fucking them up in some other way.Its a cool concept, and it makes me think that the universe either evolves so that infantry all get ear protection, or they're just so unimportant in the grand scheme of things that its ok if survivors are permanently debilitated after they serve their purpose.I guess its also an issue in settings like battletech where ultra large scale autocannons are the gold standard.
>>23674966yeah, albion's smaller gun turrets are described as lasers in lore but functionally seem identical to particle beamsand in CCA they went back to projectile AAA for some reason
>>23675082>and in CCA they went back to projectile AAA for some reasonI Fields got a bit too common, especially on MA that are easier to hit than MS
>>23674961>>23674987Jesus these descriptions are raw. I feel like mecha battles are something that are kinda hard to write good descriptions of but I can picture what's being described so easily.>>23675025Maybe he'll work with the guy who designed the Hellfire missile variant that fires out massive blades instead of exploding to create the ultimate war crime machine.
>>23675086I'm not really certain the rapid-fire defensive guns would be big enough to do very much to something like a Quin Mantha once it got close enough for the AA to engage it anyway
>>23674961>The blinding light from the explosion had burned Hathaway's and Gigi’s shadows on the groundDid they get fucking nuked? How did they survive?

build fighters was a fluke, it was a great fluke though
>>23674690>Do you like anything anon?I like Keroro and Detective Conan. Both are infinitely better than Gundam.
>>23674490First Fighters is the definitive bestFirst Divers is the definitive worstI don't really remember which I liked more between Try and Re:Rise but I give the nod to Try since it had a better cast, as evidenced by the fact that Freddie was my favorite Re Rise character and I'm no furry

What's your Favorite Valkyrie?Mine is the VF-17.Other Macross related discussions are welcome.
>>23671645Sure, I can buy that his guitar is just a weird looking flight stick, the problem is that it ALSO plays music. And have you ever tried playing a difficult game while tlaking to friends on discord? You shut up when its time to focus, same reason why streamers play like shit or miss obvious stuff onacreen, they're focusing on talking and playing at the same time. But Basara is singing and playing, already something that most people can do, and ALSO flying a fighter jet better than special forces operatives who've teained all their lives, and ALSO dancing and goofing around instead of shooting to kill. It's Kira Yamato all over again (or before Kira I guess), "I can go easy on the enemies because I'm so far above them". >Prototype VFI thought it was just a VF19 with speakers and a bodykit, the Macross equivalent of a ghetto pimped out lowrider
>>23671694>pimped out lowriderOk, "custom" is a better descriptor than prototype, but that fact remains the VF19 was still a rare bird during M7. And I mostly agree with what you said about gaming online, though I've played one of the toughest online games and my team was always able to talk even in the most stressful times (then again we all have more than 10,000 hours of playtime so maybe it's different?). Not to make excuses for Basara, and it's not explicitly stated in M7, but VF19s have AI to assist pilots and Basara is basically a nuisance, not a hostile threat, so he might have more freedom than you'd expect. Knowing this helps me suspend disbelief.Also, I hated M7 for the first several episodes. The show is more enjoyable if you think of it as a silly comedy. It's pretty ridiculous. Planet Dance? Are you kidding me?
>>23671694>>23671755The VF-19 is a better all around machine than the VF-17 that the standard military guys get in M7.
>>23671694>Sure, I can buy that his guitar is just a weird looking flight stick, the problem is that it ALSO plays music.The stick only plays music when he gets the Sound Booster upgrade and then only if he disengages from the cockpit. Otherwise it's just a fancy joystick and the music is pre-recorded.
It was a hard AF choice but I'm gonna have to go with a classic and pick the VF-1J.Other options include the VF-2SS, VF-17D (and Super), VF-171 (and EX), VF-31C, and VF-XX/>Favorite IdolMakina Nakajima. I dunno why, she just seems like she'd be pleasant to be around. The fact that she's an easygoing mech otaku doesn't hurt either.I get why /m/en are picking Sheryl though.

Has anyone noticed sound design in mecha shows hasn't been as good since around 2015? Sound effects to feel as unique or as appropriate to the scene as before this year. It all sounds very dull and generic clanking noises.
>started Southern Cross a few days ago>have heard every alarm sound effect that for 30 years I've associated with 0079 Huh
>>23666754>"what's sound design?"
The worst is how after bayformers, everything has to have pops and clicks now and there's no weight to movement noises anymore.
>>23666754No, it's never been better. You're just fucking stupid.
>>23666754I feel like it's the other way around. Older shows reused way more sound effects (I used to hear the Newtype flash everywhere, also a heavy metallic step), and maybe that's why they left more of an impression on you compare to current shows having more varied sounds
Going to Japan soon, any pilgri/m/age spots I shouldn't miss?Preferably outside the tokyo area.
>>23652002yes. they increased the foreign tourist tax at Himeji too. It's not that much if your currency is strong compared to the yen, but it's still an increase.
