Never been in to mechs before but I got a couple Gundam kits from my gf for Christmas and built this yesterday. I liked it alot, now I want to know more. Help me /m/. What are the basics I should know for /m/ culture?
>>15060895
>M
>Culture
dont listen to the echo chamber, people base their "opinions" on the memes here, others use the board culture to troll. Dont pay attention to either, watch gundam and see what you think for yourself. dont join the hive mind
>>15060895
>What are the basics I should know for /m/ culture?
watch stuff where robots fight stuff

>What are the basics I should know for /m/ culture?
- Clean the nubs (which you've done from what I can see).
- Line the panels.
- Check the Gunpla/Plamo General here and in /toy/. They have guides for beginners and people you can ask.
- Ignore Snapfaggot.
- Have fun.

I really like the way Yokoyama drew the highlights on Tetsujin 28. That way of drawing metal has always stuck with me.

The Yamato rising up from the earth is really cool.

I wasn't that big a fan of the Mazinger Z anime. I honestly think it was for a younger audience compared to the manga. But, I like the Ops and think the producers did a good job.
The Koreans built a bipedal robot.

what else is there to talk about
Good first run. Demonstrates true walk cycle with center of mass balance.
Now if they can just get faster actuators, we'd be in business. It does kinda have to rely on static balance since the joints are so slow. Next one should hopefully walk like what we're used to.
The future is now?
What's your favorite gundam?
Mine's the RX-7
I'm a big fan of the AW-11

When did you drop it?
>>15060572
I didn't. L-Gaim is my favorite anime. So rad.
>>15060577
I like the 2nd Op
https://youtu.be/z92vGSWTrs4
>>15060572
Around the 20th episode in my second attempt to watch it. The first time, I dropped it around the 12th episode.
So what exactly was up with this release?
Why was it dub only?
Why did it stop using the Japanese intro and outro partway through?
Why was Kukurus Doan's Island omitted and has continued to be despite being on the Japanese DVD release?
>>15060559
>Why was it dub only?
no R2 dvds at the time of the series and japs fear reverse importation like twenty godzillas
>Why was Kukurus Doan's Island omitted and has continued to be despite being on the Japanese DVD release?
Tomino said so. Same reason they're Black Tri Stars and Cyber Newtypes. Nobody ruins a US Gundam release like the bald wizard
>Why was it dub only?
At the time there was not a proper Japanese DVD release of the series, and Bandai wanted to create their own Japanse only DVD set which costs 5x the amount of US DVD releases.
Pure greed.
>>15060559
>Why was it dub only?
There were a couple of reasons I've heard. Some or all of them could be true.
- The reverse import thing as already mentioned.
- The audio tracks of the original were not well kept and a lot of costly digital touchup work would be required to fix it up.
>Why did it stop using the Japanese intro and outro partway through?
This is all related to the absolutely retarded licensing agreement for Gundam:
Bandai Japan and Sunrise demanded that original Gundam be shown in a mid-afternoon timeslot (mind you, this is the timeslot it failed during its original airing in Japan). If this wasn't done, Bandai Entertainment and Cartoon Network wouldn't have access to other titles like Gundam Wing.
As expected, the dated graphics and overarching war story didn't go as well. To make matters worse, it was marketed as a regular show rather than a "Classic that started it all". In an attempt to make the show more interesting, the opening and ending were changed.
>Why was Kukurus Doan's Island omitted and has continued to be despite being on the Japanese DVD release?
Once again, there were a couple of reasons I've heard. Some or all of them could be true.
- Someone on the Japan side said no.
- The original video for that episode was degraded and would require digital touchup that was too expensive.
- The animation quality of that episode was low.
Good night sweet Princess ;-;

Fuck 2016.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Fischer. You will be missed.
>>15060472
2016 really wanted one last kick in our pants before it ended.
>>15060475
We still get like 4 days left this may not be the last kick
Does anyone NOT like Zakus? Is it even possible?
Ask all the Leofags on this board.
>>15060175
Hizack made so much more sense
>>15060179
As a Leofag, I like the Zaku just fine. It has a ton more character than the GM.
So basically, Rogue One only managed to secure the Death Star plans because of aStardust Memory
Haven't watched the movie yet, so the joke eludes me.
Will anyone care to spoil me please?
>>15060140Galen Erso, the chief designer of the Death Star, called Jyn by the pet name of 'Stardust' when she was a child. In the climax, when Jyn's accessing an Imperial archive containing the Death Star's plans, Jyn's browsing through a bunch of names for military projects and comes upon 'Stardust' listed in the vault - which she correctly assumes is the Death Star plans because, her words, 'I know it's me.'
>>15060133
OP Kou did nothing wrong
"Upgrades" that went wrong
>>15060108
shitposting that went wrong
>>15060108
Is there anything worse?
Like at least 50% of anime?
And a number of Gundam series.
Yes.
>>15059834
There is absolutely no reason for the Trion Gundam to lose against these faggots. That loss was a complete asspull.
What would she pilot?
A toilet bowl mech because she's shit
Her death

Why?
Surely the animation isn't that good, right?
Or is it just a really really good show?
I'd kind of understand this if it was Zeta, but is there a reason for this?

Episode 38 - Ver. 5.0
>>15059585
I've watched the first half of S1. The show isn't bad, it just feels like there's a lot of build-up with minimal payoff. The janky animation doesn't help.
Does S2 fix this?
