I just played No More Heroes 3 and the main character gives mecha recommendations to another character throughout the game and I want to check at least some of them out:>Space Runaway Ideon>Space Warrior Baldios>Dougram>Votoms>Layzner>Getter>GundamMost of these have multiple series, especially Gundam, so I'm a little overwhelmed. Any recommendations on where to start and what can be skipped?
>>23066527He doesn't recommend either of those.
>>23064169Be Invoked is hopecore.
>>23064169I've only finished Baldios so far and yeah that was pretty bleak.Also OP here, just realizing I'm retarded, Travis doesn't recommend all those anime to Charlotte, some of them she mentions herself.
>>23056002Raideen has subs?
>>23067712Up to 37.
SWAG MASTER
>>23054220She's lucky that Kaifun didn't karate chop her in half for that. He's truly a good guy for showing that much restraint.
*slurp*
>>23041591*Quamzin
>>23067503*Khyron
I like Stormcrows
>>23035411Nice insulation, bet she's comfy as fuck in cold weather
Opinion on Peni Parker?
>>23061745I liked VEN#m being pretty much a miniature EVA-03.I mean, -03 is already black with white details, after all, on top of the Angel corruption reminding me of a symbiote, in its specific case.
>>23061751Yeah, it's a shame the story ended quickly. The poor sentient suit/armor/robot/biomechanical/thing didn't even get a proper arc. Only a bad guy of the week/issue.
>>23043261>>23043281BASED, seconded, good DAY sir.Marvel does not belong on /m/.
>>23043256boring ass overwatch design, call me back when they do a spiderman labor or something
What happened to Guncannons after OYW?
>>23008248I can't believe I never saw the V hexa as a Guncannon, this just blew my mind.
>>22996166Why create a lineage of Guncannons when you have a GM? One platform, multiple products that serve different roles and purposes. We have GM Cannons. It's basically Guncannon but using an established GM platform
>>22996166short answer: beam weaponry got so powerful thw following decades after the war that getting one shot because your mech was too slow to maneuver didnt make sense so they kinda phase off fontline.
>>23000908>>23008484In the same episode we see it using the same rifle without external power or coolant connections.
>>23066790>Why create a lineage of Guncannons when you have a GMGM cannon was a direct descendant of the guncannon, just as the GM itself is descended from the gundam>that getting one shot because your mech was too slow to maneuver didnt make sense so they kinda phase off fontline.the gm cannon 2 could basically be seen as the ultimate version of the guncannon, being armed with a pair of beam cannons that packs even more wallop than the original recoilless gunsit wasnt until ZZ gundam that shoulder mounted cannons were phased outbut the shoulder mounted missiles of the guncannon lived on with the GM-IIIs shoulder missile attachment
>Is practically the second main character of the 70s anime which is why Mazinger became such a massive franchise, having plenty of episodes that focus on her as much as Koji and there being barely any episodes where she doesn't appear at all>Be nearly as scrappy as Koji in a fight despite being stuck with robots that aren't designed to be anything more than pincushions for mechabeasts so Mazinger doesn't take the brunt of their attacks, often dealing noticeable damage despite having barely any weapons and even managed to take out 4 mechabeasts>Is one of the more well known and beloved love interests in mecha anime due to being the first of her kind along with having a fun personality to help her stand out compared to other mecha heroines>Despite this she almost always gets reduced to just being Koji's not-girlfriend in most series that came after the 70s anime>Her relevance in a battle is even worse in said sequels and remakes and might as well show up with a cheerleader uniform and pom poms instead>Always gets sidelined hard in SRW with mediocre at best stats and a spirit set that tries to force her to be a supporter, trying to rectify this in a game that doesn't have Mazinkaiser or any duplicates of Z or Great means you have to shaft Koji or Tetsuya instead, and she isn't even allowed to be deployed in T or 30 because of Infinity, will also get shafted again as usual when Grendizer U inevitably appears in another mainline game as the Mazinger rep>Often gets labeled as being useless by fans, non fans are even worse and will spread their headcanon that she's both useless and a battered housewife who never did anything wrong to warrant getting slapped by Koji even on this very boardI know the name of this franchise isn't Aphrodite A, but this doesn't seem very fair.
>>22964252>Pretty sure that was all about egos and involved danger. If they actually wanted to have her pilot a shit bot they wouldn't make Diana any better than Aphrodite, yet they did.Watch the episode again, preferably with your eyes and ears open this time around. The refusal to upgrade Aphrodite had absolutely nothing to do with her ego, the only reason Sayaka gives for wanting an upgrade is that she wants to help protect everyone. No one ever suggests she's lying nor that she has any other motive aside from wanting to better help ensure everybody she knows isn't killed by Dr. Hell. Koji does not want Aphrodite to get stronger because he does not want a woman getting is his way, and the scientists say the only want to rely on Mazinger Z for protection. Those are the only reasons given as nonsensical as they might have been. Nobody brings up danger as the reason for not wanting to give her a stronger robot, and her own father sends her to battle literally two minutes after opposing the idea of making Aphrodite stronger.The scientists did no want to make Diana any better than Aphrodite. They literally say as much during the meeting to discuss her development. The only reason Diana was more powerful is because Koji was pushing hard for her to be a combat robot. >>That's called banter.>>For all the supposed "unlikability" of Sayaka, she's a well loved character in universe.Thrash talking someone behind their back like Misato does isn't bather. Calling out a trait you think it's a flaw to the person's face over and over when they clearly hate when you do it and isn't banter. Pay attention to the tone, reactions and body language there's nothing playful about it. The writers were clearly into bashing the character.
>>23063100Now if only they'd remaster the subs too...
The next gundam collab will come from Trigger.
>>23037692Oh boy, Diebuster 2.
>>23037748Witch from Mercury already did all that
>>23061440No it didn't.
>>23061434>Oh boy, Diebuster 2I think you meant to say Gurren Lagann, but yes.
>>23061434this but unironically
What are the coolest spaceships/fighters in mecha?

I just rewatched Macross Plus via the movie version with a friend after seven years and I wanted to make a thread about it, because I am once again questioning what people see in this show. I really don't get the appeal at all.What really ruins the OVA for me is the absolutely retarded dynamics between the love triangle. Why did Isamu and Myung decide to pretend like Guld didn't beat the shit out of them, which was a complete overreaction to seeing them cuddling or whatever the fuck they were doing? Considering most of the tension in the OVA is generated by this rivalry, as the main antagonist has basically zero presence until the last episode, it seems like a piss-poor reason for Guld to hate Isamu. I genuinely want to know if someone can explain this to me in a way that makes sense. I know there's a lot of terrible bait on this board but I am genuinely asking. I hate to put it this way, but I'm approaching this in the best possible faith I can, why do you like this? Please don't give me the trite answer of "the rest of the series is idolshit", the entire franchise has always been idolshit. There's entire scenes dedicated to Sharon Apple's concerts, it's basically just as much idolshit as the rest of the series.
>>23065102Myung knew about Guld's zentradi nature and forgave him. Guld hadn't forgave himself and projected onto Isamu.
>>23064822>>23065300I picked up the Hasegawa 1:72 kit of the VF-11D a few weeks ago, got my first airbrush and I'd been promising myself I'd do some of these kits once I had one, so this is keeping myself honest I guess.First time really getting hands-on with a more traditional model kit. It's a pretty recent one and I suspect this is first run stock so I haven't seen any obvious areas for correction work, very impressed with the quality of surface detailing.Still need to learn the damn brush better before I commit to a project that requires it, though.Curious to see if Bandai's HG Macross line extends much beyond hero valkyries. And if it does, how many are left in p-bandai hell.
It's giant robo-style. If you don't get hung up much on that one bit, it's a really fun show. I could see it being such a dumb reveal that's pivotal to the story that it instantly turns people off. I just didn't care that much.It's kind of funny. There's a scale of how much you can look past in terms of dumb story. Certainly plenty of people who hate 0083 but ignore giant robot or plus' twists.
>>23066656I like the YF-21.
Plus also has the involvement of both the writer and director of Cowboy Bebop so it makes American fans cream themselves. Story wise it was inspired by "The Right Stuff," which is as much about test pilots being shitheads as it is about them flying the damn planes.
I swear they teased a new animated SD Gundam series when World Heroes ended, but turns out it was just a web manga spin-off. Meh. Post SD Gundams, I guess.
The games are a lot of fun.
Post knock-offs and bootlegs you found on the net or IRL.I want to laugh at the poor people version of the real thing.
>>23048890It looks like his leg is breaking at the knee
>>22913814Bootlegs are AI images before AI images.
Please recommend me some anime/manga about mecha samurai and/or cyber ninja. And also something about Japan's participation in mecha wars?Muv-Luv, Code Geass, Gasaraki I've already watched, Tobikage too. Full Metal Panic is not quite what I need. Something like Ghost in the Shell is definitely not suitable.
>>23034565Kind of a shame Nobunaga never fucked her or Jeanne.
>>23054329Is this by any chance related to the manga with a similar name, where a guy kills bad guys and commoners in equal proportions for the sake of "justice"?If so, then I didn't like it - it's a very strange and stupid concept.>>23054366Strange series. Nobunaga is a complete idiot, but all his suckers pretend that he is a genius... The world of the West versus the planet Japan is some kind of nonsense - Yamato is just a part of the Sinosphere and not the pillar of Asia.>>23053884The Empire of the Rising Sun is the most interesting faction in C&C... Until the appearance of Chinese mods with Chinese factions for sure.
You better flag out.You better not fight.You better not die, I'm telling you why.Santa Felsi's foaming tonight!
This is the ultimate showdown.
>>23061498Considering Petra has GUND-legs, I wonder if this is what Lauda feels everytime they have sex?https://files.catbox.moe/279l9m.png
Previous thread: >>22837666The real couple of the series that should've been, not gonna lie.
>>23062025>>23062278Thank you!So, "the world created by Lelouch" is a shitty place, since it requires manual control from Kaguya through the intervention of her personal intelligence agents (WTF?) to help the helpless UFN special services...To be honest, in this chapter the most interesting thing is not the new characters of Almaria or the cameos of the original characters or Glinda, but that little girl from the "bargaining", who has a truly royal dignity in her behavior. I wonder if she is really an episodic character or will she play some role later?Where did the agent girl get Geass and why does no one care? Well, judging by the cover, the rumors about the presence of a clone of Marianne turned out to be true - damn.
Hi. Tangentially related but I do not want to start a new thread for this: Does anyone know if Code Geass' KMFs have a start up sound of some kind, in particular for the Guren series?
>>23062025any full summary of this chapter?
>>23062958feels like you could probably just find out quickly by checking the first episode it appears in on one of those shitty anime streaming websites or maybe even youtube
>>23066821Well obviously I can't find anything so I was wondering if they had it in some obscure or mobile adaptations.
Discuss the shows, bitch about the Kickstarter.For better or worse, it's the only franchise I've watched to completion in the last 5-7 years; it's surprisingly consistent, even Flash.
>>23065058>Kei is portrayed as the dumb one
>>23011575Am I the only one who wants to see another continuation with these two? More time has passed between now and when Flash came out, than the amount of time between the original series and Flash.
>>23067069They're both the dumb one, Yuri just hides it better.
>>23065260Based Mattei watcher.
>>23067283more like the other way around
