What do you guys think are some essential mecha shows that one has to watch to get a better grasp of the mecha "genre" and its tropes and all the crap?
This might sound ridiculous, but thinking about it, there's a show that has literally everything about the mecha genre on it and that's SRWOG: The Inspector. On the other hand, it really isn't advisable for a novice to simply jump in such a ride, as they're sure to get it all wrong. Actually; I just wanted to take the chance to remember how fun it was to watch it weekly together with /m/. The board felt really united during those times.

For further viewing check out the live action versions of Giant Robo and Ambassador Magma/Space Giants, and the 1979 version of Cyborg 009. Also all those Tatsunoko hero shows from that period, Gatchaman, Casshern, Tekkaman, Polymar, and at least Yatterman from the Time Bokan series.
That's a fairly comprehensive list for the 70s and the cliff notes of the 60s, minus a few notable shows like Daiapollon, Gaiking and the like. Where you go from that as far as "tropey" stuff goes depends on what you want, but all the building blocks are there.

add Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and it's perfect.

After seeing so many people claim how good Liveman is, I want to watch it for myself now. I found the G.U.I.S. torrents, but none of them are seeded.

Just picked it up and THERE'S NO BOLT GUNDAM EVEN WITH ALL THE DLC?
>>15771526
90s Gundam has been consigned to the nostalgia bin by the SEED phenomenon
>>15771529
It's disappointing that Bolt and Maxter aren't in it to play with their gimmicks. At least Rose is in it I guess
>>15771558
Don't forget Dragon.

How does /m/ feel about multiple pilots?
>>15771055
Pretty dope if you ask me.
Also a requirement of any good combiner robot and only becomes cooler when used well in such cases.
>>15771055
Aircraft still needs a pilot and the guy manning the firearms. I don't see that being an issue when everyone is focused on their tasks.
>>15771055
I personally like it. It's a cool concept but pretty uncommon and not used so much, unfortunately. I like to write short military mecha stories, and I generally prefer to write about mechas with multiple pilots. crew size depending of the type of mecha. I think that having two or more characters chatting and shouting with each other in the cockpit helps to situate the reader in the action, build tension, and also helps to establish the personality of the characters.
Is Amuro most /fa/ Gundam character alive?
I think so friends.
>sexy MS
>practical and stylish
>even has his own clothing line IRL
Prove me wrong. He's not just for show.
>>15770982

No. Char is more stylish. Especially on the promo art for CCA, where he went full Sonny Crockett.

Does anyone have scans of the "Macross 7 Band Score / Fire Bomber Best Score" or alternatively know a site that has some firebomber bass tabs/sheet music?
It's been a long wait

Looks surprisingly good. Character art is pretty close to TSR levels.

this will save 2018

it makes sense since Horiuchi Osamu stayed the animation director/character designer for all 4 series
>>15771654
I am hoping 2018 saves mecha
What would he pilot?
>>15770756
Osrail or the Archetype if the latter is even pilotable.
Whats his name again?
