I've seen recently that the sentiments in posts like these
>>15599258
>Animation is great, but it needs a story
>That's just your opinion.
>>15599057
>stories don't matter only visuals for animation.
are by and far the overriding opinion on /m/. Being; animation quality is the most important factor in determining whether or not an anime is good. That all hand drawn and cel-painted anime are, by virtue of being those things, infinitely better than any anime made after the year 2000. I think that's a valid point, everything else is tertiary to an anime's quality and if it's well-animated I can forgive every single one of its flaws.
Hell, I'm sure most of us would agree that IBO and SEED would be in the top 10 anime of all times were they only well-animated.
But let's look at things from another point of view,
What are some anime that, and this may be a stretch, have good stories and are generally good despite not having animation?
Does anyone here actually pay attention to the writing and stories in anime. Because I know I rarely care and I found it strange in that thread that some people actually thought about these aspects of anime.
That being said, nothing comes to mind immediately, but I'm sure some of you might have an idea or two.
SEED is inexplicably popular.
Good animation wouldn't stop it having an awful, derivative plot and loathsome characters.

>are by and far the overriding opinion on /m/.
Two loud idiots doesn't prove this is the general consensus of the board. Majority in my experience have said they can enjoy a series off cool visuals but that lacking the substance of good or even adequate storytelling/characters makes a series bad/shallow and prefer a series that tells a good series.
There's a difference between appreciating some good animation and saying "this is all I need, fuck story and anyone who needs story is wrong."
Some people prefer watching music videos than shows, let them be.
What's Gihren watching?

A blank white canvas, it seems.
This.
No I'm not going to take 15 hours to MS Paint it in. Imagine it.
The best grunt suit in unicorn?
Yes.
Do we know anything about the anonymous hero who piloted this thing yet? I know the guy who piloted the Byarlant Custom got in a manga.
best grunts have boners

Stark Jegan guy helped Amuro push Axis
He was the hero we needed and deserved
Post your controversial opinions as usual:I prefer Gaelio as the Char clone to McGillis
>>15595813
i think IBO is not that good
Ex-Aid is fairly mediocre and I think people are forcing themselves to like it and it's painfully obvious. Can you really watch an episode of Ex-Aid and say shit like
>This is one of the best episodes of Kamen Rider ever
>Is Ex-Aid THE best post-decade Rider?
I've seen people saying
>>15595813
I think Great Mazinger and Grendizer are VASTLY inferior to Mazinger
If the AGE Gundams have a fight with their UC respective counterparts, who from which side would then? That would be AGE-1 vs RX-78, AGE-2 vs Zeta, AGE-3 vs ZZ, and FX vs Nu. I don't know if the different AGE equipment would matter, but let's keep them stored in the hanger for argument's sake.
>>15594589
Would win*, fuck, but yeah, I was rewatching AGE today and the openings made me think of what if like this.
>>15594589
I didn't ask for feels.
The AGE Gundams are really fucking strong. Remember that in UC GMs are dangerous because their beam spraygun is still a beam. Vagan MS shrug off Genoace beam guns but AGE-1's rifle flies through them.
AGE-2 shoots through asteroids.
ZZ was actually somewhat crappy and fragile, just high powered. AGE-3 on the other hand is incredibly strong and durable, and can upgrade on the fly into two busted forms.
FX is 00 tier BS.
so how did you feel about the ending, /m/?
>>15594204
The designs ruined it for me.
>IT'S A GIANT ENEMY BIRD
>>15594204
I loved it. Should be more destruction though.
It was great for the most part.
Rustal got off to easy tho.
All his corrupt shit seemingly got swept under the rug.
What is the most patrician way in fiction to become a mecha pilot?
>Joining the military and getting appointed as a pilot officer, getting grunt equipment and eventually getting a custom machine
> Stumbling onto a state-of-the-art superweapon while a battle is raging in your hometown
> Being blackmailed by an aloof authority figure threatening to throw the burden on a severely injured girl
> Being conscripted as a child soldier and being forced to undertake grueling training by militants
I'm sure there are further scenarios out there. Which one best resonates with you.
I for one, would prefer the appointment route.
>>15592234
Joining the military and progressing by normal means is always my option of choice. But, the second option generally carries my favorite piece o logic, which is:
>This state of the art war machine was developed and build by my father (under contract, with aid of a huge team of technicians and using goverment/private backers funds) so, therefore, it is mine by right!
>>15592234
Finding the body of the mecha in a Jersey dump and you tune it up yourself, rewire the whole system, and customize the controls so they are incredibly easy for you but impossible for anyone else.
>becoming a mecha pilot
>not being a space energy lifeform and possessing a sports car to be a robot

they still making this shit
The last CG one was mostly okay, I guess I'll give this a shot.
Casper van Dien is voicing Rico this time.Dina Meyer's back as Dizzy.
What /m/ audio dramas do you wish had text translations? Personally, I want to see some for the GaoGaiGar audio dramas since they apparently explain some things that weren't in the show, but I hear those are pretty comedic. Alternatively, those Gurren Lagann high school AU audio dramas, since most of that was translated save for the last half of the third and final volume.
The Tristia of the Deep Blue Sea Drama CDs.Oh wait, I'm the only one who wants those

Were the Gundam 00 ones ever translated?
>>15590935
Idol Master: Xenoglossia drema CDs
Any thoughts on this show, /m/?
Fuu best girl btw
>>15587190
Repeated exposition way too many times
Really shit at writing male characters
The mecha were incredibly underutilized
Took the UNDERSTANDING meme way too far (I know it's a shoujo, but still)
First season was pretty good at least, most of the above problems weren't applicable
Those sword designs are fucking gay.
>>15587190
>Umi best girl btw
fixed that for you
[xPearse] Space Battleship Yamato - Final Chapter [English Sub] [1080p]
Seems a bunch of shitty new threads were spammed on the board killing the previous Yamato thread and a few others I was using., so I might as well post another to let you guys know.
It's on AB at the moment, but it'll be up on pantsu soon as well.
https://animebytes.tv/torrents.php?id=6877&torrentid=308065
May i have the link for pantsu for the link. Animebytes is asking for me to join up.
>>15585806
That's because it's a private tracker. The pantsu link will be up when I finish seeding it on AB.
The other movie is on pantsu, though. Here's the link.
