Okay so generally speaking unless you get all weird there's really no harm in still liking or watching the shit you liked growing up or is generally under your intended age group. You just admit it is what it is and accept it at that.
Sometimes however someone gets it in their head that they have to prove that their show isn't kiddy or immature so they update it and change it and completely fuck with the tone just to show the world otherwise but then they miss the point and shit goes to hell. You end up with a grim derp try hard product that only kind of looks like the thing you liked in the first place and what you liked has become so distorted by what you want people to see that it just stopped being what it was
also I dunno, low toy sales.
>>15407115
Low toy sales, declining demographic, super robots not being as popular as they used to be.
I just finished watching Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Here's my thoughts on it: (Warning: I've never seen Gingaman.)
(1) It was good!... as long as they bothered to write a coherent plot and use mostly American footage.
(2) Why is the series named after "the lost galaxy"? When they finally get to the lost galaxy, in the last arc before the end of the series, it's strange; Trakeena disappears, a new villain, Captain Mutiny, is suddenly introduced, and the episodes seem to be trying to jam in as much Japanese footage as possible. And when they leave the lost galaxy 8 episodes later, Trakeena immediately kills Mutiny, and the plot returns to exactly where it was before they entered the lost galaxy. ... I know that the Kendrix's actress had to be replaced because she got sick irl, and Kendrix was supposed to know a lot about the book, which opened/closed the portal to the lost galaxy, so I wonder what they had planned to happen if they didn't have to replace her. Does anybody know? It must've been something big if they were willing to name the whole series after it!, right?
(3) How did the Magna Defender escape Mironoi? After Mike fell into the crevice on Mironoi, he took Mike's body, and then what? He stowed away on the Megaship to get off the planet? He went through another portal?
(4) Has any other PR series tried having a different theme from its respective sentai, like how PRLG was space-themed despite how Gingaman was nature-themed? (Btw, insisting setting PRLG in space makes some things seem strange, like how the galactabeasts live on the Terra Venture without anyone noticing or caring, or how the villains so easily get inside it, or how convenient it is that the Lights of Orion are in some cave there, which, again, nobody seems to notice or care about. How big is this colony!?)
So, what does /m/ think about it? How is the original Gingaman?
>>15406574
Been on my to-watch list for a while! Looks like one of the more interesting stand alone-ish seasons.
>>15406574
The sentai that In Space is based on was video game themed, I know that much. Can't remember the name of the sentai though because I'm tired as fuck and too lazy to google.
>>15406574
I think the "Lost Galaxy" was originally meant to be the one with the Quasar Sabers, but they eventually came up with the Lost Galaxy plot and used the name for that.
I actually really liked the mutiny episodes. They were bizarre, but it felt like there was a strong sense of threat. The weakest part of the show to me was the Lights of Orion Quest.
Although Mutiny used Sentai footage more obviously due to the villain hq, those episodes were straight up Sentai translations that often made very little sense in LG's context (like the Lights just happening to be on the colony for no reason) and the actual episodic situations just seemed weak and disconnected from both the setting and the characters.
Alright, let's get down to it, /m/en.
What's the ideal sort of transforming mecha? What sorta weapons we want on it? What's it transform to? That sorta stuff.
Pic unrelated, for the most part. Didn't want to attract Zetaragers.
>>15405965
I actually really like the zeta transformation.
I like the image of a plane zooming off into a battle field, transforming into a robot and fucking shit up, then zooming out again as a plane

Assuming unlimited funds/as advanced of technology as we want, a cockpit with a neural interface connected to a giant blob of nanomachines. Need a plane? You got one. Need wheels? You got them. Fighting godzilla? Mech. Etc. The catch is that it would need a source of ammo, or at least a source of material if the nanomachines are self-replicating
Or in a pinch, just make a harpoon gun.

Will they ever stop?
>>15400828
Anno literally said "I want Eva to become a long running franchise that rivals Gundam" so no, there is no stopping Eva as long as fanboys still pay for it
>>15400828
Based on the wording isn't this just the fourth movie? Khara is merely confirming that Anno wasn't talking out his ass about it being underway for realz this time seriously guys we mean it.
>>15400856
Correct. Its just Rebuild 4.
So, now that the dust has settled how would you fix IBO?
I'll start
>Tekkadan is one of many Mars Freedom rebel cells
>cut fat by making the mini-arcs self-contained episodes
>Reduce mafia aspect
>Kudelia scenes are mostly diplomatic negotiation and political maneuvering.
>Introduce Akihiro's missing brother from early on. Cut out Biscuit's brother completely
>Have McGillis be secretly funding and organizing rebels in the Earth Sphere as Montag whilst amassing a powerbase within Gjallajorn as McGillis Fareed
>Introduce Rustal faction in Dort
>Switch Orga and Biscuit's death
>no Time skip after Kudelia gives her speech. Have them ally with Earth rebels via McGillis' Montag persona and jump straight into Revolution plot
>No plot armor
>No Dainsleifs
>No unarmored sections on mobile suits
>Mobile Suits working together as a team/squad instead of Barbatos take down everything. Other suits can get kills, take down things and assist.
>Less Graze variants, more actual variations in suit design
>Cut out entire Jasley arc
>Characters can act naive, but they don't get to act stupid or out of character to move forward the plot
>Better fighting scenes
>Gundams can be taken down by tactics and good teamwork if the enemy plans ahead. McGillis v. Rustal should mostly be a battle of strategy and guerilla tactics, not Dainsleifs and Gundam + AV. This means drawing the enemy into disadvantageous environments, stretching out their supply line, using attrition to whittle down forces, setting up ambushes, baiting or drawing in troops to one area, whilst having your forces attack in the areas they left weakened
>McGillis' plan is to draw Rustal out of the Earth Sphere and caught up with MA, whilst uprisings happen in the Earth
>Show negotiation for reforms happen due to situation turned uncontrollable. The reforms are used to pacify this
>Should do all this within 26 episodes.
Well, How'd I do /m/? Would it fix IBO, or do you think there's more to fix. Fix it thread!
>>15400734
>>Kudelia scenes are mostly diplomatic negotiation and political maneuvering.
The joke was that she basically was Mars' Ann Coulter. People of her economic class liked her because she was pretty and she would not quit repeating the stuff they were eager to hear.
>>15400734
I would've ended the series with the Dainseif barrage. Like, Mika and Guts kicking immense amounts of ass, their enemies falling back, then the hail of orbital rods kills them. They're doing fine up to the point they fall prey to that last dirty trick, then we go to the aftermath.
More deaths. Tekkadan has a bloated cast, and none of the characters are really needed. Zack should've been shot as he and the others tried to flee the base. Eugene could be killed too, with very little change. Basically, all members participating in the final battle should've died. (The casualties are just Nameless Kid, Hush, Mika and Akihiko, which is disappointing.)
Also, I'd have let Iok live, because I feel that Iok's death was unearned - it felt too much like wish fulfillment, because there was no real reason for him to be there.
I'd also have had McGillis be the one to betray Orga to Nobilis, to try and get Tekkadan to fight alongside him in the final battle.
I would probably have inserted more Gundams for merchandising. Personally, I'd have given Iok a Gundam, and have Juliett either pilot Rustal's Gundam or a hastily-restored Bael for the final battle.
>>15400734
Just make more focus on consistent character development on characters like Rustal faction and Tekkadan, and you'd fix alot by making any of the characters likeable

What do Star Was fans think about Gundam?
What do Gundam fans think about Star Wars?
What do Dr. Who fans think about? Do they think at all?
1: They don't, or they think "oh you mean Gundam Wing, I loved it as a kid".
2: I'd personally rather watch the prequels than the shit we're getting nowadays. I remember when getting rid of the EU was seen as a good thing.
3: Shipping. Always between men. Not always between humans.

We both know that's possible.
But I'm curious about those who lean to one side or otherwise know very little about the other.
Any answer is valid.
I asked this question is /co/ and one of the responses was that he hated anything with giant robots in it. Others said that they were fans of Gundam.
I'm looking for some manga/anime with mecha vs aliens.
