Happy 70th birthday to Godzilla! In this thread we celebrate the king of the monsters by posting all the random mechanical entities made by Toho over the generations.
THE BEST GODZILLA DESIGN WILL ALWAYS BE SPACE GODZILLA
>>22942412Not Godzilla
>>22942411Void Ghidorah was a cool concept executed fairly well until his fight with Godzilla just turned into him biting Godzilla until he was suddenly vulnerable.Honestly, the whole anime trilogy is interesting ideas done poorly. But at least the ideas are interesting.The prequel novel is the best part.
>>22942716Fuck off retard, this isn't even the same image you blind fuck
>>22943144what?

>>22944764T is just proto 30
How long does it take to write a scenario for a new game and do some sprite work? They used to pump games out like candy and it's been 3 years since a new game.
>>22945166it's not an srw issue, it's a bandai issue. literally the only original ip they released recently is tekken.
>>22944764you made it wrong, 30 is T but with a worse roster
How come more mechs don't use acid based weapons? It's not like blocking those would work, they melt through everything.
>>22941735acids and poisons are for cowards
>>22941735How do you store the acid in the mech?
>>22942267Sukunda deez nuts, funny skeleton man.
>>22941735The Rust Hurricane basically already is this if that counts. In general it's dangerous to the user since it has to be used at short range unless you put it in some kind of projectile anyway, but it's also not guaranteed to work, e.g. the Rust Hurricane doesn't always work just because the mechanical beasts may need to take a beating to begin with just to be vulnerable to it at all. Short range and unreliability are a dangerous combo.
>>22941735It's not very interesting in a fight to animate. Rather than a cool, flashy explosion or a laser team going straight through, you have to animate the mecha getting eaten apart in various places with just a sizzle for a sound effect. It's an anti-climactic way to end a fight and comes off as a cheap way to win.
So I keep finding people who say that Nanrise meddles with their own shows to "Make them more Gundam". What's "more Gundam" even supposed to mean? They're already Gundam shows, aren't they?
>>22937551Misogyny?
>>22941039That seems like too easy an answer, though. Plus you're 4chan. You love hating women.
>>22936125Gwitch S2 and the series lenght in general. I have seen mentioned that G reco wasn?t meant to be a gundam show at first but by executive meddling it became one.
>>22942805No, that’s the exact opposite of what happened with G-Witch. The original concept of the series was a more traditional Gundam war setting but Bandai asked for something lighter that would appeal more to teenagers so they changed it to a school
>>22936125AGE
Robot within a robot thread.
>>22929808That's what you get for having a shit fetish and no content of your own on top of it.
>>22933118Did they ever use that Gundam-inside-a-Gundam design for anything else?

>>22940045He marries her and even has a child, so actually you will love this.
>>22942070>>22933076I noticed a curious feature of isekai-mecha, which is that their heroes do not suffer from typical Japanese cockblocking.It is quite natural and normal for them to have an intimate life with their girls (even if they are aliens or gynoids) and have children...After a bunch of standard fantasy isekai (except for specialized erotic ones) with impotents, as well as harem stories without a harem (the fucking rule of the first tsundere chick you meet), Mercenary and Lord are good.Although, I would prefer an anime about Mercenary, since Liam is sometimes too parodic...
>>22942242It's probably that isekai has nothing to lose there since it goes on wish-fulfillment side in the first place, whereas non-isekai genre alternatives are there to get the most mileage, potential, and maybe merch out of the story.i.e. how many people waifu/husbandfag over "taken" girls/boys from isekai?
>>22942242>>22942449Oh I'm reading with my ass a bit.I have no relevant explanation, then.
>>22942242now that you mention it Orguss could probably qualify as isekai and the MC in that is a certified vag slayer
Anyone know this episode of NHK's Anime Manga Explosion documentary series? It apparently released on July 23rd 2023 but I can't locate the exact episode to stream or download anymore. They take down the episodes after one year online.
>>22942186And here's an 8 minute excerpt from the episode, but I'm looking for the whole thing if possible:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C28GSrw-dsE
And a entry on Kawamori's website linking to the now dead episodehttps://shojikawamori.jp/en/news/nhk_interview/
Oh I remember seeing this during my Japan trip on NHK. They had a great segment on how the Gerwalk mode got created and how it stood out from other mecha from the period.
Someone uploaded the whole thing. Okawara was also on the episode. https://youtu.be/iE1FjyrqVVk
>>22942756Thanks for the assist, I should have searched a bit more on Youtube but I appreciate the link nonetheless.
Hand Weapons on robots thread.And the staff really needs to look into these verification time restarts, this thread took an hour to post because the Captcha kept resetting back to the 300 second counter.

>>22942634And he follows with >>22942621 kek why is he such a hypocrite?
>>22942633>>22942634>>22942640Samefag. Just gotta complain about your fictional character every day.
>Global Rule 8: Complaining about 4chan (its policies, moderation, etc) on the imageboards may result in post deletion and a ban.
>>22942628Those are shields.

Whats the real reason Macross toys are so fucking expensive? License stuff?
>>22940211It's a bunch of things. On a per-company level, I can say this of two of the bigger entities:Bandai is afraid of shelf warmers and would underproduce their DX Chogokins habitually, rendering them vulnerable to scalping. They're so afraid of this problem that you'll see them do open preorders for web exclusives to try and meet exact demand based on orders placed, or store-only exclusive releases with strict 1 per customer limits to combat scalping at the source.Yamato kinda killed itself proving that shelf warmer releases and overproduction of color variations is economically suicidal no matter how much goodwill it earns you from diehard fans who'd love something as obscure as a cannon fodder colors VF-1J, and as a result its successor entity Arcadia significantly raised the asking price on their own limited selection of VF figs, balancing it out with the occasional offer of PF variants for those who want their figures fully tampoed from the factory. There was a time when Yamato surplus was dirt cheap though, but they're now semi-collector items you have to stalk Mandarake for and still pay more than what they once went for.Add onto this that if you're not a resident of Japan you had the whole entire extra costs of importing thanks to the shitshow that Harmony Gold had made for Macross until relatively recently, and well let's just say the one silver lining here is that the yen has been absurdly weak relative to the dollar for a while now.
Transforming toys have always been expensive to make an the original 1/55 Valkyrie was sold on thin profit margins so despite being over a million sold they didn't a lot of money on it. Takatoku toys also got fucked over by making their Orguss stuff twice as complex but half as appealing. All the stuff being sublicensed to American companies happened because they were desperate for extra cash.
>MACROSS Shooting InsightHow is it?
Nvm it hasnt been released.
Let the pilots take a backseat.Who is the best ship commander in terms of leadership?Whose the best in terms of tact?
>>22939667I just remember that one woman flirting with him even though he's married.
>>22939726I hate her so god damn much. Thank god puru 2 murking her.

This series has one of the gayest spins on reincarnation I've seen.
>>22935693Maybe deliberately so, since the transformations/form factor looks very similar to the very first Aquarion.
>>22941789That just says they have no confidence in this series so they played it safe with the mech designs.
>>22936463>Then they tried making a third series unrelated to the first two and it was just kinda bland.It was the smartest piece of animation ever released to the public.
The only thing I rememver about Logos is that one time the MC went on stage to talk about being a savior.
Was this toku?
>>22909166SFZero is still the only 1st party Nintendo game from the WiiU that didn't get a Switch port. That's how detrimental the gyro controls were. Everything else about the game was great.
>>22930923Dread had been in development on and off for nearly 20 years.
>>22930918Miyamoto watched Thunderbirds?
>>22903782No
>>22935899Thunderbirds was big in japan, loads of creators from his generation reference Thunderbirds and other Gerry Anderson shows like UFO rather often
We Are VR!
>>22940929>>22941598They didn't have a choice. They swapped out Metalder for Shaider and that's what the Shaider villain lair looked like.
>>22940931The latter. Especially now that Hasbro is done with PR.
>>22940931Pretty boring. The Shattered Grid crossover was kinda neat, if only for the novelty of having ALL the Rangers. But, otherwise it's inoffensive and boring. There's worse capeshit to read. If you want a good comic reboot of a kids property, I'd check out the Skybound GI Joe/Transformers stuff instead. It's really entertaining so far.
>>2293477970's Hakaider, I still love you.
>>22940929Because you're watching a shit edit,
So am I still waitingFor the english patch to start releasing?Can't find a good reasonCan't find hope to believe inAlso Sakura Wars thread
>>22942118Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with that new 3D streets of rage by canadia-pfffahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>22942120I dunno where you got that comparison, since neither SRW nor AC and not even DW were outsourced to canada.Maybe some franchise I don't know about did, but since it's sega we're talking about, who doesn't give a shit about its own legacy, we wouldn't get anything good anyway.
>>22929139English translationa take forever, learn Japanese instead, it'll always be faster than waiting for all of your awaited translations
>>22932385I don't even think that Shin Sakura Wars was really that bad. They definitely gambled too hard on it being a commercial success but it wasn't terrible.Sakura Kakumei on the other hand, yeah was a catastrophic failure. God what were they thinking? Between handing the game over to Delightworks for development and the possibility of having Hideo Baba involved in it, it was a recipe for disaster. I played the game too and its a war crime how much money they put into that trainwreck and what they got out of it.

>>22942088What's so aesthetic about the old xenoblade face model? It's generic as fuck. Xenosaga already had that kawaii uguu look as well. It's more likely that what they did with the first xenoblade was a technical limitation.
Once again the X fandom (two people) singlehandedly shit up an X thread.
I refuse to buy this unless it's confirmed to have a jap voice option. Dealing with the typical shitty Xenoblade localization is almost too much, listening to the shitty dub is actually painful.>>22913061Kill yourself.
