Never watched anything from this franchise, what does it have to offer besides trains, crossover and being one of the only recent mecha anime to get more than 20 episodes?

For a more serious answer, Shinkalion S1 dips into the ethics of using child combatants, and now when I watch Braves, Eldoran and other mecha anime I can't help thinking
>wow are these child soldiers AT LEAST compensated with free train rides that come with complimentary luxury train bentos!?

Sounds interesting, but I'll probably stick to the movie before going deeper.
I was thinking more along the lines of
>Dynamic heroes (Koji Kabuto, Sayaka, Boss, the Patlabor crew)
>Treatening, charismatic villains (Prince Heinel, Count Brocken)
>Cool origins for weapon upgrades ('70s Gaiking's miracle drills being developed while the crew was in captivity)
>Wild monster designs (Grendizer giving every monster a saucer form, until the designers ran out of ideas and switched to mutants)
I know this one is aimed at little kids, with some nods/pandering for the older viewers, but I still hope it'll deliver on some of them.

A serious answer, apart from the interesting characters, train/engineering history and trivia, and cool storyline about trying to understand even your enemies, it also shows tons of places that are interesting to travel in Japan and talks about what kind of food you should sample when you get there. It has pointed me to countless interesting places and I've tried the local specialty. Second season delves into yokai, mythology, and urban legends of various places and shows you more things to see. I probably would have had to do a lot more research without Shinkalion, but it really sold it. Problem is, Japan Railways raised the price on the Rail Pass for foreigners visiting on tourist passports last year by almost 2x the price. The Rail Pass was fantastic fun for a railfan or just someone who wanted to travel. I went for three weeks and for something like USD 600, I rode the Shinkansen literally every day, went as far north as Aomori, and as far west as Hiroshima, and many places in between. I had a lot of fun, but I wouldn't have tried to travel to even half of those places if not for Shinkalion.

Shinkalion is a weird mecha franchise where it's made for both kids and older fans. Well, others tried to be that way, but I think Shinkalion is the only one who managed it succesfully in recent years.

When mechas first were made yes, but it has being less and less the case in more recent years. Hell i'd say even in the 2000s.

That's what happens when they didn't raise the price for at least thirty years (any increase were only reflecting on changing sales tax rate), and whatever "perks" they gave out corresponding to the huge spike were laughable at best.
>>
>>22662518
i was more curious why she's using a male avatar in the first place. whenever shion appears in the OP and ED it's in girl mode so presumably there'll be some kind of emotional problem that gets resolved just in time to get in the robot and throw some bad guys around. as for the yuri, i'd be surprised if it goes anywhere beyond girlish admiration after the reveal.

She definitely seems like the kind of borderline personality who could be pushed over the edge.

>>22662518
Everyone who plays an MMO knows that one person who is totally a girl and a hot one at that, but can't go on Vent/Discord/Teamspeak because she had throat surgery and doesn't want to sound weird. And as it turns out is totally a dude.

I suspect Shion uses a male avatar because she doesn't want to be made fun of for liking traditionally boy pursuits like martial arts, pro wrestling, and trains. Problem is, she's led someone on, and she doesn't want to lose a friend because of it but she's in too deep in her lie and can't get out of it without upsetting someone.

>Also are these robot toys like sentai or proper model kits or both?
Both. For the first shinkalion, the OG toys are bricks down the waist. All of them. But they are true transformers. Z is predominantly parts forming, but you get a fully articulated robots with some nice interchangeability with everyone plus you get more trains to combine with. Ctw is basically z but smaller and less cooler since no wrist articulation. The first two have moderoid lines if you don't care about the train and just want the shinkalion form.
>>
>>22677121
Toys are more like Transformers than anything, they use a lot of the same engineering and even same Vietnamese factories. It's no secret that Tomica Robots and Shinkalion are Takaratomy produced "transformers" that they don't need to share with Hasbro, sorta like Braves back then.
>>
>>22677239
Z is wasted potential because of COVID ruining the whole thing. They only planned a year of airing, not a manageable episode count (normally 48-51), leaving so many ideas cut like the Z Alfa-X. Also, has anyone tried to display the Z Doctor Yellow combined with the Z N700S Nozomi?
>>
>Doctor Yellow to be retired
It's over
>>
>>22678057
It's the 923, which is a repurposed 700 Series. It's going to be replaced with the N700S. So they'll probably paint it yellow too, Doctor Yellow is too popular to just get dumped for a garden variety white and blue N700S. Unless they don't want autists chasing it down anymore.
>>
>>22677239
Moderoid looks awesome. The Doctor Yellow in particular looks and poses amazingly.
>>
>>22678186
I wish I had that hat.

>>22678184
Whether it's the 0 series, the 923, or the N700S, the Doctor Yellow is still a tourist sighting for people to get lucky. It was a tradition since the beginning of its life as a 0 series.

Lazy to dig out my sets in storage. The Z body's joints can't handle too much weight anyway, it's already struggling with Dr Yellow's added mass from the 2 additional train cars. The "combined mode" with the backpack cannon especially topples over easily.
Only exception is Dark Z and the repaint because it has different hip joints formed from the horse parts.

>Unless they don't want autists chasing it down anymore.
Sadly that's pretty much the case since JR Central indicates some of the N700S trainsets will have monitoring equipments installed to perform those checks. This would basically allow them to perform much more frequent checks on the infrastructure along the line instead of the current schedule of one run every ten days. I'd hope JR Central would at least keep one of the lead cars and maybe another car in the SCMaglev and Railway Park

https://jr-central.co.jp/news/release/_pdf/000043619.pdf
>>
>>22681594
Is it a bad sign when they have to frequently check rail status now?
>>
>>22681804
Giving them the ability to do so (because you don't have to find a gap in the schedule for a Doctor Yellow run) doesn't mean they will actually be doing those checks daily, besides given how frequent the service is on that route wear and tear on things like tracks and catenary will probably occur a lot more frequent compared to other Shinkansen routes so knowing where, when, and the rate of those things occur would help the overnight maintenance jobs too.

How do you all feel about change the world so far?
I watched up until episode 5 and then got busy, so I’m not caught up—but! I didn’t really feel as attached to the series as the first one.
The cgi is a lot better, the fights have some better choreography, but the actual weapons and attacks used kind of aren’t as exciting I feel. The actual units themselves are a bit eh as well. I do miss the train halves on the legs. Although, the actual figures feel so much higher quality than prior sets. Kind of mixed, but I do think I like it a lot more than Z.
Unrelated note, but I was actually at the Kyoto Railway Museum recently and they had Z figures on display! Kind of cool to see.

>>22683317

He didn't try to kill his family member when afforded the opportunity. He probably should have told them "hey, I thought I heard my sister" but considering how Takanawa brushed it off, he probably didn't want to entertain the notion that he might actually be right. It's like when people's family members commit crimes and they'll swear they didn't, that it's all some big misunderstanding.
>>
>>22685811
Taisei didn't do anything wrong, and his teammates overreacted. Even if he did tell them, I don't think it would have changed anything. As they are now, they have nothing that could stop Big Sis.
>>22685936
Somehow, I feel like the AI is going to be an unwitting pawn for Big Sis. Maybe she sees and hears whatever it does?
>>
>>22685811
His teammates obviously overreacted, with Ryota lashing out because of Mai, but Akane had a point that Taisei, for all his friendship speeches in previous episodes, decided to bottle up his worries instead of talking to his friends, which directly led to a him shutting down at a critical moment during the fight.
Maybe things wouldn't have changed at all even if he were able to act here, and his sister would still overpower them all and escape. Maybe he would still end up clamming up even if he had confided his worries to them. The absolute best case scenario of "Taisei told them, and they planned around trying to capture her, while Taisei is not conflicted at all" would definitely not have happened, but having a plan fail after trying their best is different from having their plan fail because they were blindsided because of a teammate keeping quiet.
>>
>>22686281
Either that, or it's the good,sisterly part of her that the evil part lacks. Vina still seems to be the sisterly part that wants to take care of Taisei, while still sassing him as a sister might do.

I can understand Phantom not getting a skin out of respect for relatively recent spoilers, but if they blended the designs with E5, um... Someone would call the cops.

But the yandere for Taisei part is still not seated with Ina, so that could wait.

So two more cours of VR apologism? Hopefully she is controlled by another general who has other plans.
>>
>>22693019
I have my specuation about how they wanted to do it, but TV Tokyo, JR, and Takara-Tomy would probably never have let them do it on a show running against PreCure. If I had written it, it would have gone down like this: we know there were previous Shinkalion drivers. Entering the Capture Wall means being converted into data. People who are destroyed in virtual combat experience massive data corruption. Their bodies are recovered flatlined from the Shinkansen, but their minds are intact, though they experience severe data fragmentation on account of being converted into data. ERDA kept this a secret, and Ina discovered that they were just letting children go braindead. She felt is was wrong, so she made a digital afterlife of sorts for their minds to persist even if their bodies were destroyed.

Ina says in this episode, "If you continue on with ERDA, this is the fate that awaits you" and she shows a bunch of data corrupted animals. Imagine how messed up it would be if it had been a bunch of ghostly corrupted data children instead. It's pretty easy to see how that kind of knowledge would drive someone insane, as Ina seems to be.

Actual speculation about the actual story: Ina is corrupted somehow, either by the Unknown themselves, or by the Commander of ERDA doing something to her to silence her. Vina is a backup of Ina's mind from before she herself was corrupted. Maybe she's going to be the key to getting Ina back to normal.

I kind of feel like that's what they wanted to show, but couldn't get it approved. Who knows, maybe they still will?
>>
>>22693928
Something that I've been thinking is how Ina is attacking places important for her and Taisei.
Maybe she's trying to prove that the only way to preserve precious places like those is in digital form via the metaverse.
Although she might be right about ERDA not really caring about the pilots, the higher-ups at least. That commander(?) immediately asked for a replacement pilot without even consider Taisei condition.

If Nightmare is still an Ina-piloted Shinkalion, that would definitely show her status as a yandere in full.

So oneesan is trying to annihilate humankind because they didn't let her feed her neopets?
>>
>>22697887
No, because she cares too much about the young Shinkalion drivers too much due to how anyone getting trapped in digital space is like killing them. And with Taisei being among those drivers, she is pissed off enough that she takes action herself.

Mina is a good friend, Ryota and white boy are not, but the show acknowledged it.

Based on previous series, Big Sis might get taken out of commission in the next two episodes and a new general will be introduced, unless they change the formula ( which would be odd since the Unknown were a thing before she joined ERDA and defected)
>>
>>22694198
>That commander(?) immediately asked for a replacement pilot without even consider Taisei condition.
ERDA is a military operation tasked with protecting vital and historic infrastructure. They have to be willing to replace pilots that are no longer able to function in order to continue doing their job. It's not cruel, it's pragmatic. Ina, on the other hand, went fucking insane because her boss shut down her pet project AI zoo. She's an unreliable narrator at best who will unfortunately still end up being proven right because this is Japan and we can't do anything original like "The villain is genuinely batshit insane and speaking gibberish".

You could say that. Glitchman is basically driving the Nightmare, and he will conjure a second Phantom after hijacking Ina's to make his own SRG. With the days of the Doctor Yellow ending, Ina could very well take the most ancient Shinkalion, the 500 Kodama herself.

I'm just glad we're not going to spend 20+ episodes on Abuto and Shin playing robot grabass only to have him turn good in the final moments. I'm actually kind of good it only took two episodes for Ina to snap out of it, because "They shut down my AI zoo!" would have been the silliest motivation for villainy ever.

Sorta forgot Gran Cross existed but it's interesting how they made it a double-edge weapon this time. Kinda explains why they don't just slap it onto every Shinkalion. Guessing SRG will be reduce/neutralize the strain like what Goldymarg did for Goldion Hammer.

>>
>>22727713
I think it's because SRG feels like an endgame power-up that makes Erda Vehicles obsolete. Once all models come out, they will abandon Erda Vehicles and go ham on the SRG variations, as it only needs three Shinkalion to perform. Basically, it's the Shinkalion Trinity, but with more freedom than the original.
