Is Captain Harlock SSX canon or not?
Toshiro dies of space aids before even getting to touch Queen Esmeralda (I finished it the other time), but in the original series he dies after they got Mayu because it's their daughter from what I remember but I only watched the original series in Frog dub so many years ago.

Does she actually bring anything to the table as a character in Amazing Ready in the 8th Gunpla Battle Tournament arc, or is she a non-character there as well? Because honestly, she was probably among the worst characters ever introduced in Try.

So the build series is worth taking seriously then?
>>
>>22845170
Depends on what seriously even means.
Everything deserves a chance to be judged fairly. Nothing should ever just receive a writing off because it's got X or it lacks y. It should be judged on the question of is it executing the story it wants to tell, and is accomplishing the goals it wants to achieve in that narrative. If that's taking it seriously, sure. Even comedy deserves to be taken seriously in this regard.
If you mean serious like you're serious when you read stuff on JSTOR to do a research paper, then God I hope nothing fictional you consume for fun is ever taken that seriously. Thats no fun allowed land.

>>22845194
That would have been interesting, but that is sadly not the case. Then again if it were the case it would have ended up meaning Caroline would have been ruined as a character if being Lady Kawaguchi is where she ended up.

Ironman had a good workaround for this by having hud povs inside the helmet. Then the later movies got really stupid about faces once they started using nanotech, which caused the CG floating head nonsense.
>>
>>22845248
Now this reminds me of how those old Starship troopers movies always show the characters's stupid faces when they are supposed to be wearing exosuit according to the original book. And when the Japs decided to make the troopers look more accurate in their cgi animated movies, the moviefags pissed and shit their pants. Hollywood is just a giant pile of narcissism and unfiltered arrogance. They can never make cool shits.
>>
>>22845248
I firmly believe ironman wouldn't have been made if they hadn't come up with the facecam solution. And even then, yeah, every superhero wound up with a nanomachine helmet that instantly fades away when they need to emote. They look like shit, too. Prop helmets are cool.

>And even then, yeah, every superhero wound up with a nanomachine helmet that instantly fades away when they need to emote

To this day, I still think the nanosuit should taken a page out of Sentai/Kamen Rider/Ultraman's playbook and given Tony a Henshin transformation. Endgame coulda been so much cooler than the memberberry slop it ended up being. But Disney isn't known for brimming with creativity, now do they?

Basic familiarity with 80s anime magazines and the actual thoughts and words of industry members disprove this. Not only were his anime popular and influential amongst otaku, but even his written works were popular enough to be consistently serialized in Newtype.

Am I the only one who prefers selfcontained stories? You beat it, it's done, you got a satisfying story, and you move on with your life. Hate these modern never ending soap operas with no payoffs.
>>
>>22843889
I don't mind self-contained stories; but I would enjoy the occasional duology or trilogy. I agree that too many sequels reusing the same cast can get dull fast,esp. if the series is cancelled or aborted partway through the long tale. But a planned out 2-3 game series with a good plot? I wouldn't mind that. Esp. in the case of Valkyria Chronicles, given the massive war fronts to pick from.

If these are good and interesting stories, then why not? Alternatively, a long and detailed story of the "ascent" of the main character, but without a stupid increase in the level of forces - the main thing is that he wins with intelligence and organization.

As for the Chronicles of the Valkyria, the 1st and 2nd parts were quite interesting and integral + they were interconnected with each other. And I would really like to play for the Empire and get to know it in more detail, besides, there was an opportunity to command Selvaria in the extra levels of the first part ... But instead we have a fucked up 3rd about some penal battalion that no one gives a shit about (and seeing their black uniform at first I hoped for the imperials - how disappointed I was :( Then the 4th about the fucking federals - these stereotypical and boring "warriors of light and champions of good" in the name of democrapy (ugh)

As for the Sakura Wars, I wonder what happened to the Paris Division, for example, and what is happening in the world during the missing time (Russia, China, India, etc.) - wars and uprisings could hardly have magically disappeared even with the appearance of demons, and the anti-Japanese policy of the West would not have gone away even with the adoption of some amorphous peace-loving policy by the government in Tokyo after the incident with the military. In addition, if the Japanese really do have powerful artifacts and advanced technologies, they will be subject to pressure from the same USA (I think this issue was touched upon in the full-length film).

In short, it would be interesting to look at the "dark" version of the Sakura Wars with the combat use of Spirit Armor and technologies based on them against, say, that army of armored demons from the full-length film, somewhere in Southeast Asia.)

Yeah, lots of women watch Gundam, Eva, Pacific Rim, Code Geass, etc. Turns out having hot pilot chicks in your show (as opposed to muttoid trannies) makes it easier for women to self-project onto, who woulda thunk? If Blackrock got that memo instead of doubling down on their DEI nonsense, they'd be rolling in dough by now, not actively losing trillions by the day on all of their investments.
