>>23773255Galiant was surprisingly good but like Dunbine I wish it had more mechanical designs, speaking of which the animation was pretty good largely in part of comprising the same animators that worked on VOTOMS and OG 0079 Gundam
>>23773262I think my biggest disappointment with it was Slarzen appears with a cool design and an eagle drone thing but then never really does much again
>>23773255Post 3 faggot.
>>23773273EscaflowneRayearthDunbine
Look at my mech, my mech is a amazing.
Knight's and Magic
>>23773288How much Rayearth is necessary for Escaflowne
>>23773316
>>23773361None
>>23773490I was kind of shocked that got a Moderoid. I hope we get a fan translation one day.Pic unrelated to this quote
>>23773672I love the designs but man that Dunbine OVA was disappointing. They're on screen for maybe one scene per episode and they're like still images 9/10 in time. I think the last episode had a fight scene where they actually moved, for all of a couple frames.SRW unironically had more animation frames of those two than the OVA they came from.
Does Five Star Stories count?
>>23773699Close enough
>>23773699There's literal wizards in there.
>>23773699sufficiently
Why isn’t it as loved as the other entries in this series?
>Rune Masquer>Dunbine Aura Fhantasm>Galient Crest of IronNotice how mecha look the best when they have a high fantasy makeup.
>>23773993GodMazinger had fuckall for translations for agesOG Toeizinger and Gren had tons of dubs so they got their foot in the door
>>23773993The anime is really only Mazinger in name only and had little to do with the source material, not to mention it’s only like 23 episodes compared to the long running predecessors, I think the manga had direct mentions of the emperor of darkness however. As a result it’s a lesser known show even to Mazinger fans. Try googling this show up and discovering that the first results are not even related to the stone giant itself
>>23773993I think Shin Mazinger stole its thunder
>>23773499>Listen up, you little shit!
>>23773699FSS is about as fantasy as Star Wars.
>>23774206Fifty meters tall mecha with high heels not sinking into the molten core in the center of the planet despite the square cube law dictating so is already high fantasy. So yeah, like Star Wars.
>>23774206Star Wars is absolutely fantasy
>>23773672>I hope we get a fan translation one day.
>>23774337When did that happen?
>>23774003Does God Mazinger have a sub yet?
>>23774364August-September. they're at the stage of releasing a copy for backers to help with final proofreading this month
>>23774373It's on TMS' official channel.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj2Ugc-vxcWEzQIsVyXKaJawcVZt9DzpJ
>>23774324Didn't claim otherwise.
>>23774337Holy shit you're like my genie
>>23773698You need to go read the two Bclub Aura Phantasm magazine collections. It feels like the OVA was made pretty much just a bonus for fans of that and its mostly an artbook. And the designs are so fucking good. Most dont even show up in the OVA.I mean still pictures make sense for an artbook at least lol. My dream is that SRW adds more if the book only stuff. They make toys of them to this day too.
>>23776051Any idea on where to find the second volume?
>>23773255Wish there was an epic dark fantasy mecha show. Bonus if set in a post-apocalyptic setting where the world is perpetually in a state of "shit's going to get even more fucked up" where giant mecha have to slay mutant monstrosities and abominations.>>23773320Wish both the anime and manga adapted the whole LN.
>>23774330>Literally hangs someone's wife/mother on the wall like some trophy.THE FUCK was his problem?
>>23778191I can't read light novels. How can you?

>>23777898They're either on archive.org or E-hentai.
>>23778191It's only a scene or two with mecha but Bastard!! is this
>>23778721Was the manga ever properly continued? From what I remember, the guy making it lost his stuff in the flood, whenever that was, then did a new chapter that was basically a worse redo of one of the last chapters from before the tsunami, then nothing until I lost interest and stopped checking.
>>23778733No he hasn't published a chapter in like over a decade. Some artist redrew the original oneshot but nothing came from that either
>>23778760Real shame, it seemed to have been inching towards reaching resolution too. Now it's just yet another unfinished masterpiece.
>>23778785I had some hope for a continuation after the Netflix anime remake started, but nothing has come of it so far. At least FSS was resurrected after Nagano finished his movie
>>23778195You cannot hit the wall if you become wall
>>23778860okay now what.
Well, I figure it couldn't hurt to post these here. I asked an anon to draw some fantasy mechs I had ideas for aaaages ago, like literally well over a decade ago, and I've loved them ever since then. I still wonder if the anons are still out there even though I know it's just about impossible. Even so, couldnt hurt to make the attempt...

Escaflowne of the Heavens/The Vision of Escaflowne
>>23784556Is this an ai upscale? What the hell happened to her beautiful face? And by her I clearly mean Escaflowne, although Hikari got adversely affected too, I guess. The details are all fucked up too, just terrible.>>23784548At least the author has an excuse of being a moon tongued esl, assuming he knows the language at all in the first place and didn't use english title because it sounds cool or sells better.
>>23784556escaflowne's designs are great but damn that show is dumb
>>23784561That's just how characters in Escaflowne looks.
>>23785025They've always been pointy and kind of triangular, but this seems distorted even by Escaflowne standards.
>>23784650It's good for the first half, and then the shoujo elements become too obnoxious and override the logical development of the plot
>>23785029They look good in some key frames and posters, but overall bad in animation.
>>23784561>>23785109It seems like a bad upscale. The original art was bad though too. I remember Hitomi's face looking ugly half of the time in the original.
>>23785109There's some wonky frames in the show to be sure. I'd expect better from a poster (or even longer stills in the series).
>>23780504There is a draw thread right now. You might have higher chance finding him there.
>>23773255Isn't every mecha a mecha fantasy? I know that mecha is my fantasy too, at the very least.
