Okay /m/ so I'm watching Dougram. I'm on the 12th episode,

It's actually not if you watch more of the show.

I really enjoyed it and think it's pretty great.

>>13740654
Uh-oh... does it have its own version of any of the following?
>minovsky particles
>the force
>Japanese demons
>ghosts
>aliens

Please anon, I gotta know

>>13740644
I'm watching it too, and I'm at ep. 12 too. And I think it's really awesome. The pacing is very slow but for this series it's really appropriated due to the complexity of the plot. The political conspiracies and the guerilla aspects are great, both sides are well fleshed-out even if the Garcia platoon is more caricatural, and the mech designs are simple but work really well. The fights are cool too. It's a solid 9/10 imho.

>>13740674
One problem I could point out is that the show has some big tendencies to overuse Dougram's plot armor. In most of the fights Crinn goes like
>One more hit and I'm dead!
And then he gets blasted 10 more times and there isn't even a scratch on his unit.

Also if you like the show you should really watch Battle of the Algiers. It's basically what influenced Takahashi to make Dougram.

Nah, none of those. Anon is referring to how the mecha aren't very grounded or well-thought out.

The world and its politics, however, are quite believable and realistic. Add to that the whole thing is well executed with no filler despite its 75-episode length, you can see why it's a /m/ favorite.

Choro Q Dougram is fun.

Also, there's modern Revol figures and Max Factory kits of several Combat Armors, so that's pretty cool.

>>13740674
Absolutely none of those.

Later Combat Armors, namely the Blockhead T10C, Iron Foot, and likely the Bigfoot and Cabarov have zero problems with this. It also wouldn't be surprising if the Arctic Gunners didn't have it, since the T10Cs were improved developments of the Blockhead T10B.

>>13740687
Explain how giant robots with hanggliders is not grounded in a setting where giant robots exist
It's not a flight unit, it's a hang glider

>>13740674
Nope, the setting remains grounded throughout. No Newtypes or Wiseman in sight.

>>13740775
Plot armor is real though

>>13740762
Physics bro.

That robot has to weigh several tons.. depending on the material the glider is made of, it would fold in on its self easily.

I think those underwater based ones also had no problem with the X-Nebula? You know, the ones we got to see like twice.

>>13740762
There's no way a hang glider that size should be able to carry a robot through the air.

It's a minor thing, though, Dougram's usually ok at keeping the things you have to suspend disbelief on minor.

>>13740775
>remains grounded throughout
I sometimes wonder if Kanda had a part in this. The guy was arguably bigger on verisimilitude (at least when he was alive, not getting screwed by the execs and/or not doing Galatt) than Takahashi.

>>13741261
Well, that is a fair point. It's pretty telling that Flag is the least weird of his modern output.

>>13740999
It's a future hang glider
There's a possibility those Soltics were fitted with lightweight armor for that operation

The OST, in flac.

The full opening song isn't as good as the short version, unfortunately.

>>13741808
I enjoy it both in full and short to be honest.

>>13741721
If you apply full "realism" to mecha you get no more mecha. It's that simple.
Do yourself a favor and watch Xabungle.

Soltic may look heroic, but the Crab Gunner is truly the Combat Armor of heroes.

Most combat armors had it pretty bad, but god damn Crab Gunners were really burtalized.

The Ironfoot's usage in the series after its introduction bugs me. It's introduced as this rugged and resilient CA that simply refuses to break down, giving me some hope that it might finally be Dougram's match (and a good fit for a growing but still small rebel army). Then in subsequent appearances it just blows up like a bitch. It's a pity, because I really like its design.

Pic related is also another interesting design, yet we see it only when the war is pretty much over.

>>13747119
I kinda felt like that too, but I still liked that the Ironfoot didn't always go out like a chump I loved that little beach scene with the Soltics

It's like the GM of Dougram; it's the support weapon and even though it's technically tough it still has to be shown jobbing. Besides that, it also was shown to still be vulnerable, so we do know it could hold its own when it had to but it could still falter when the going got tough

That "I AM BEST" always gets me, though I always feel bad afterwards too.

Does Dougram have a chance at ever getting a Blu-ray? I mean Layzner got one and Votoms didn't.

Does anybody have a really high quality soundclip of NOT EVEN JUSTICE? Like ripped straight from the DVD with no further compression.

>>13755003
When ever Bandai and Sunrise gets around to it.

>>13755018
I was wondering if it was like Gundam X and Sunrise didn't want to touch it ever again.

>>13755032
People still make new toys/models for Dougram and VOTOMS unlike Gundam X.

>>13755050
Sorry, wasn't sure.

>>13755003
If it got one it probably wouldn't be much higher quality than what we have now, the original reels were lost for the series although it is available in its entirety.

>>13755084
They were? Jesus Christ. I knew Mellowlink was lost, but the DVD's for Dougram aren't anywhere near as horrid as Mellowlink.

Re: OP
I saw the series on tape, raw, shortly after it began airing...so many episodes. Even without the plot details each episode was a solid drama without any cute in it. Wish they would make some side-story OAV of it.

>>13755136
That would be nice, wouldn't it? There's loads of other guerrilla groups, Federation soldiers, and other things that'd make a side story or two possible.

Would anyone mind uploading Dougram The Comprehensive to mediafire for me? I've checked on the Takahashi Image Folder torrents periodically for months and I don't think they're ever gonna get seeded and the Doguram art book is the main thing I want.

Well that's pretty neat.
I wonder if they'll do a Crab Gunner model? They did the Native Dancers, so it'd certainly be fitting.

Why it was 75 ep long?
Why it never got any major spin off or sequel ?

>>13774570
>75eps
It was more popular than anticipated, so it was given more screentime.

>no major spin off or sequel
True mysteries. We technically have VOTOMS but we all know how that is. It'd be great to see one, though.

Dammit Battletech.

>>13777815
As I've mentioned before, I hope the new Battletech game is good, it might be the closest thing we ever get to a Dougram SRPG if they have some of the Unseen mechs included (even if they have to change the design for obvious reasons, lol)

Never noticed the similarity before!

>>13777984
Me too.
On an unrelated note, can I play Vixen 776 for Sega Genesis with your guide alone, Gunlord?
One of the mecha look like Ingram and the intro is kind of similar to 0083 opening 1's mecha launch sequence.

You should be able to. I'm not sure if the screenshots are still up since the site I hosted them on went down a long time ago, but the commands are simple enough if you've played any Japanese games before. Aside from that the guide should cover everything.

>>13778067
It has to be similar, Battletech owes its very existence to Dougram. I'd say it's a poor successor.

Why do they all dress like tarzan?

>>13786428
pic aside, I'm guessing it's because most of the guerrillas were former farmers, bluecollar workers, etc. and in addition were usually better off wearing clothing that'd hold up against prolonged exposure to the elements.

For common people on a developing planet, this would mostly mean farming clothes, so that's what the cast and many of the other guerrillas wore.

For guys like Heckle and Giorgio what they had already held up fine, I suppose.
