>Grenademan blows up a kindergarten in episode 16 for no reason
>Nobody ever confronts him about it
Remind me why this is considered a groundbreaking military drama.
>>
>>23040957
>Nobody ever confronts him about it
Why would they? They saw the tereorists hiding there. Sure, it's unconfortable that he did without batting an eye, but he did what was necessary.
>>
>>23040957
Grenademan was undercover and secretly part of the Big Star faction, so he had diplomatic immunity. It's just told more subtly than with Flamelady (who did end up judged for some reasons).
>>
>>23040985
Flamelady used it as an excuse to burn civilian to death in her Phenix-2. Grenademan as twisted as it was still wanted to do good.
>>
I really wish they'd translate Grenademan Kinder no Tränen. IIRC that one elaborates upon one of the kids who survive
>>
I feel like I'm the only one who like Captain Landmine.
Like yeah, he don't have much screentime, but he's like the Batman with prep time meme turned up to eleven (due to the limitations of his unit), but it's so creative how they make his strategies work.
>>
>>23040996
Yeah, but I already bought the Phenix-2 HG model and preordered her 1-7 scale model, of that scene, so I say it was justified.
>>
>>23040971
>Series bible material
Not canon, just like Gas Kaiser meddling in everything.
>>
Why do people always talk about Grenademan anyway? He wasn't even the protagonist
>>
>>23041063
Because no one remembers the MC.
>>
>>23041070
Don't you ever trashtalk Pistolboy again
>>
>>23041038
Well, the series do imply that some of the things in the series bible material are canon, and besides it would make the rise of the Magna Napalm army in the sequel series make no sense without the Gas Kaizer setup in the original series.
>>
>>23041079
No. They killed Kaizer off in episode 6, and never mentioned him again. The only reason bible replaces him with a double is because they realized Magna Napalm rising to power made no sense otherwise.
In conclusion, fuck Inoue.
>>
>>23041076
Pistolboy was whiny as shit tho, he only manned up and became tolerable when he was possessed by the russian ghost and became Kalashman

HURRICANE , HURRICANE ORE WA KALASHMAN
>>
>>23041125
I never understood the second Gas Kaiser.
In the series they say he was his brother, his son, his disciple and his clone, so what was he?
Also, he really need to eat a snake like that?
>>
Best mecha in the show?
>>23041337
He basically tells a different backstory to anyone who ask, for all we know he just could be a random guy who idolized the first Kaiser. They never answered the question in staff interviews so it gotta be on purpose.
>>
>>23041384
Saurus XT, obviously. The animation was janky, but it really grew on me.
>>
>>23041384
Scallion Scorpion Mk III. Loved the tri-tip heat barb.
>>
I hated the first OVA of SRW. You limit the OVAs to two crossover franchises? Fine. But why is the first one bad? It left a bad impression.
>>
I'm going through the original show right now (just finished episode 18) and holy shit, Commander C-4 is such an asshole.
>>
>>23040957
It's the director's thing, he did something similar to a bunch of farmers in episode 20 of Armored Chevalier; it was so fucked up some of the animators called him out on some post-show interview. The guy has issues.
>>
>>23041475
Why must directors force their fetishes into things like that? Like I guess it was kind of hot, but wasn't it a bit much?
>>

Definitely The Puss-in-Bot. Seriously, why did they only use it for 3 episodes? Is it true they had to rush the story?
>>
>>23041587
For the last time, no. They lost the cat until like three days before the last episode had to be submitted, which is why it's in the finale. God knows why they were so committed to rotoscoping.
>>
>Phenix-2 new HG leak

Even if it come with effect parts to replicate the reborn burst I won`t buy. 5500 yen for the 1.5 is too much, and I can replicate the reborn burst with hot glue and my current modeling skills.

>Rewatching Battle Mechalord G-Wars for the first time in 20 years
>Get to the final battle between Takeru and Des-X-Ender
>DXE regains her memories and realizes that she was Takeru's thought to be deceased mother right as he charges at her with Deicide Crush Knuckler
>She faces her inevitable death with a smile, just proud to see how much he's grown in her absence
>Takeru never finds out that truth
I thought this was a kid's show…
>>
>>23041632
I mean, half of the Mechalord contenders that Takeru killed to get to the top weren't exactly family-friendly deaths. The way that Sieglander-K's pilot got crushed by his own mecha after Takeru tore the cockpit out and dropped it thirty feet to the ground, I've seen less gruesome deaths in LoGH.

Anons, wrong thread , we are talking about Spirit Weapon Master Juunium here

The VK-Theta was a good upgrade for Roan, and I'm tired of people telling me that it's a downgrade from the Lion Lambda.
>>
>>23041665
It WAS a downgrade. All the extra speed in the world doesn't matter when it breaks down every other episode and forces him to use a basic Hopper instead.
>>
>>23041690
>his kill count skyrockets every single time he goes out in the VK-Theta
>body count is so high that even Black Lord Gilgath stopped and ordered a retreat the second time it happened
>they end up only being able to field token forces on the episodes where Roan is in the Hopper
>not an upgrade
>>
>>23041735
Keep watching, they wise up later in the show. Episode 32 is wild.
>>
>>23041690
Roan was pushing himself with the VK-Theta on escort missions, and was coping with the death of Elina in his suicidal charges. The VK-Theta gets broken down due to not being calibrated in his initial outings, plus when the VK-Theta was broken down it accomplished its purpose like taking out the capital fortress.

If you wanna talk about downgrades, then let's talk about the Quinmarine.
>>
>>23041746
The entire reason Elina died is because of the Theta. If he had stuck to the Lambda she would have been fine. It's not even the last time he gets someone killed because of it.
>quinmarine
What about it? It's strictly better than it's predecessor. Just because it's hard to animate and didn't get much screentime doesn't change that fact.
>>
Newfags on the board never seen Foot CLAMP or MLAIOS

>Elina died because of the Theta
>Lambda was damaged after fighting the High Liger.
>Time limit due to Major Mylessa's trap at the siege that would see the coliation force destroyed
>Theta did fine in speed rushing through the defenses despite suffering some blows, and allowing the coliation forces to push through
>Manages to get Elina but dies to due to Duke Hizen pissed off that the trap is foiled, and decides a revenge shot that no one could have predicted. Even then Elina shielded Roan from the shot.

Roan got Elina killed due to rushing in, the Theta did fine. It's Roan who needs to get a grip on his emotions.

>Quinmarine
>Trades its firepower from the ThalTrient for being a slower stationary turrent

Granted it has range, but still.
>>
>>23041868

The only reason she made that meaningless sacrifice is because she was going to die regardless.

I’m still waiting for Boots Warrior Flootclamp R. Wasn’t it supposed to come out last year?
>>
>>23041384
>Best mecha in the show?

Oktigara-Oedipus (Kai) by fucking far. The fact the entire "Quality" animation streak we had in the middle of season 2 was broken when it got its introduction killing the Murder Hornet Corps was downright magical. They follow that up with the Orbital Elevator duel with no CGI at all for all of that twisty combat shit they were pulling off. All of that money dumped into that entire arc, just for it to be returned to the standard Oktigara after Goonri kidnapped his mom back from trying to fix her life and forcing her to indulge in him NEETmaxing again. What was the entire point of his character?

>My entire life got uprooted when my mom defected and I was forced to grow up and actually function in society
>Oh wait, I can just force her at gunpoint to dote on me so I can stay in my room for the rest of my life.

>>
>>23041665
People say the Theta was a downgrade because you had iconic episodes with Lion Lambda. It's just people missing LL, or moreso one portion of the show.

Roan and the VK-Theta is an improvement even though they sometimes get sidelined.
>>
>>23042243
That's nonsense, pure and simple. It's clearly meth this time.
>>
>>23042258
I knew the monkey's paw was gonna punish us for getting a Masami Okui OP but this is ridiculous
>>
King Bazooka in his mecha Rocketman were the highs of the show., he was a false antagonist in the first part of the anime but when he died, it took a nosedive (even if his suicide attack death when he realize he was fooled was a kino scene)
It was just fun to have a villain for once who isn't part of a big group. Only to be revealed he was unknowingly only a pawn to a much bigger scheme.
>>
>>23042395
Yeah, that's one of the things I kinda dislike about the second half of the first series. It start as a fun super robot anime until they try to bullshit their way into a real robot series, only to justify everything with "nanomachines". At least they stop in the finale and got back to the super robot stuff.

Thanks anon. Can't get enough of that Doodlewoodlenoodlebopper.
>>
>>23042477
The man was on a mission directly issued from Argas' High Command. They literally picked him up from a ditch and trained him into the man we see in the show.
I would also obey without hesitation if I owed my whole life to The Gracious Leader Shaytan Pazuzu and his revolution, even if it made me look as bad as it did for Wolf.
>>
>>23042111
If only Harvey wasn't such a fucking asshole. His edginess makes the show unbearable to watch.
>>
>>23043300
I felt once he got off Sediment Reign he mellowed out a bit. He's really obnoxiously edgy when Captain Friar is barking orders though. That man dials up every bad habit of his subordinates to 11.
>>
>on episode 5 of bodysuit panzers
>the occasional kisses have progressed to mid-battle groping and constant ass shots
at least the mecha musume deigns are nice... i like how the sherman sisters all have little detail variations...
>>
>>23043483
If anything, the anime is censored a lot of the more risqué elements of the manga. Did you know Regina was straight up a futa in the manga? The anime alluded to it but never says it outright. Some bullshit explanation about her originally being built as a male unit before M.A.D. shifted to a female design super late into development. Apparently her creators didn't have enough time to get rid of the dick before her deployment, but I'm not sure why a combat mechanoid needed a fully functional dick in the first place. Oh well, the writing was never this series strong suit anyway
>>
>>23043610
How else is she supposed to dock with cockpits without one? The manga explains this pretty explicitly.

What the fuck. I have never seen a franchise shit on its MC to this extent. Why even make him the face of the series if you're going to pull this shit?
>>
>>23043659
The whole show is therapy for it's director, he based Pistolboy off his own childhood.
>>
>>23041934
Alyssa is the core girl of the series, she deserves Tem
>>
>>23043659
Even Captain Landmine and Commander C-4 got more focus episodes than Pistolboy in the second half, it's crazy how hard he was sidelined.

It's funny since it shows they paid attention to her musings about wanting to be more petite in her focus episode, but it is rather ridiculous.
>>
>>23043745
Only episode zero.
>>
>>23043659
That's why I think people like the sequel series more.
Not only Revolverboy had more screen time, but as a mercenary, he had more agency to work with anyone he needed to advance his objetive to eliminate the WarSystem.
And we know that the executives were very happy with his mecha that combinded with parts of the other mechas of the series, even mechas from the previos season were sold with compatibility with the gimmick.
>>
>>23040957
I feel ignoring huge crimes a character committed just because theyre on the protagonists side now is common in japanese media (might be in a lot of western stuff too but I dont watch or read much of that).
Like in JRPGs like Megastar one of the party members Galles starts out as an enemy and shoots a planet destroyer at the hometown of one of your party members but then she joins your party after finding out her boss is evil and no one bats an eye; or how in Gearbreakers Dr. Rang tricks MC and co. into eating processed garbage for the lols and they never hold a grudge about it.
>>
So was Grenademan a midget in a mecha at all time or he's just some kind of big cyborg?
>>23043659
This is why his Kalashman alter-ego happens in the end, it was to give him some spotlight again, but too little too late. Cool design though.
>>
>>23044174
Grenademan is tall for Japanese by a literal inch. He's short everywhere else on the planet.
>>
>>23044332
With his robot legs, anon is asking without then.
Also, no wonder Granademan is such brutal character, the man suffered a lot during his training by Captain Landmine.
>>
>>23044376
Landmine is such a fucking hero, he turned himself into a bridge so thousands of fleeing war refugees could cross the Battery River.
>"Every footstep was like a burning needle to a nerve ending."
>>
>>23044388
His death was also a great setup.
Before he died fighting The Molotov, he didn't put his last landmine where he knew it would defeat The Molotov and survive, but put where he hoped General Tzar would run to make his last stand.
>>
>>23044443
Do we know who the girl in that photo he always carried in his pocket was? A daughter? The show never mentioned him being married.
>>
>>23044443
>The Molotov
Do you mean Doctor Molotov? I don’t remember any characters named “THE Molotov”
>>
>>23041930
but a secondary character with the best fight in the show. nothing will beat his battle with the cannon corporal.
>>
>>23044702
>Do you mean Doctor Molotov?
No, the anarchist was not a real doctor, he didn't concluded his doctorate.
>>23044613
We saw a girl like her in the orphanage during the epilogue, but i think it was never confirmed.
maybe there's something more in the side material.

Heresy. Akuma Blue is one of the coolest bros in Sentai history. The way he stared down MonmonFranken... Totally epic. PR Monster Trash never reached such heights.
