Absolutely nobody watched this thing for the mechas.
>>23944269as if we didn't know that already.
>>23944269And yet it only seems to be remembered by mecha fans, how curious.Every freaking time I see this show brought up nowadays it's by mecha fans.
>>23944346It's remembered for how fucking dogshit it is.
This show was a really great example of why something being trendy does NOT mean it's safe to assume it's worth your time.
>>23944346It's really easy to divorce the mecha from the rest of the show since they essentially look like separate characters you'd assume have sentience and aren't directly involved with the weird soap opera writing.
Aside from Zero Two, the only other thing I remember is the fat kid getting cucked.
>>23944269bestnista still best
>>23944269and yet /a/ sucked this shit off
>>23944363Pretty much this. The first episode actually had me excited and ready to sing it's praises but it fell off so fucking quickly. If it ended at episode 15 it would be a fine enough show. Left side of the bell curve but near enough to the top to be forgotten. Then if you have anything nice to say about the back half of that show, you should be put down. So in my mind this show is remarkable for how much potential and goodwill it just threw away. Not even Gcucks managed to shit the bed so bad.
>>23944798Fuck off spammer.
>>23944798You know why.
>>23944415several kids got cucked actually
>>23944819Spammer?
I did. I thought the designs were neat, especially the one with the legally distinct gunlance.So I was pretty bummed when the show dropped the pretense of mecha action and fully pivoted into teen drama.
>>23944269I thought the mechs would have their own personality and the 2 kids are needed to start them up like turning the key in a car. Was really let down after learning that in episode 1 and was only downhill ever since.Genista was hot at least.
>>23944814>>23944943Apparently the manga version fixed this. But yeah iirc it got really weird in the second half due to parts of the staff dropping out of production like trigger leaving A-1 to do their own thing, the manga version is kinda how things were meant to be
Well I picked it up back in the day because I thought it was about robot action. Turns out it was mostly about the kids interaction. As per usual Trigger sucks and for what it seems it looked and felt like there remake of Diebuster. The ending was laughingly bad.
>>23944269..I did. The mechs were what I felt was a nice middle ground of mecha musume.>>23946380>>23944794That she was, that she was.
