Because they get far more out of milking Evangelion's corpse dry.

I have a few of the Plamo kits, that's about it. It's been damn near ten years and the story really left no room for a continuation and ended in a good place. I don't think we'll see any merch anytime soon besides maybe a 10th anv. Scale or something along those lines.

TTGL is best left untouched in my opinion.

>>13766061
Because after TTGL all the talent at Gainax went to Kara and Trigger, leaving Gainax full of people who had no idea what to do with it.

They're starting a massive TTGL pachinko project in 2016, so there's that.

It's kind of like KLK in that it's only exciting during the firts viewing. After you're done with it, you move on and only think of it in passing.

>>13766061
>despite high ratings from Japanese viewers, the series fails to leave a significant mark on anime
This is what hurts the most. I would have hoped that it would have brought mecha shows back to the forefront of the anime industry, but they remain in the niche they were shoehorned into in the 80s.

>>13766081
Kharafags left after Diebuster, but it's true that the people who worked on TTGL are over at Trigger. Problem is that I don't trust Trigger with TTGL either.

>>13766075
There's plenty to do with the series without touching the anime's story. There's even theoretical storylines that are already written, like the medieval fantasy and post-apocalyptic music videos.

Why would you complain about a series having a strip mahjong game?

>>13766092
KLK wasn't exciting ever

>>13766114
Strip mahjong is the mark of only the most successful series.

You got a pachinko man shit that's like the peek of any franchise

>>13766061
Almost no shows leave a significant mark on anime. Eva certainly didn't, the only show that ever gets even generally compared to it is RahXephon and there's people who even dispute that. Madoka got just as huge a reception as TTGL and it's made zero impact on mahou shoujo.

The only mecha shows that have really made a mark on anime are Tetsujin, Mazinger, Gundam, and whatever sparked the trend of 2000s shows having lots of remakes of 80s shows. I think that was Mazinkaiser but I could be wrong. It is extremely difficult to produce a show that is influential on an entire genre.

Man I really wish there were more mecha video games in general. Something that isn't big blocky junkyard mechs for once. I just want some crazy super robot action game. I want to be the one screaming OPEN GET! to clutch dodge some crazy 1-hit KO boss move. I want to be the guy

>>13766157

It certainly might not have impacted the anime industry, but it certainly became a cultural icon in the West, along with Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop

>Problem is that I don't trust Trigger with TTGL either.
They're the same fucking people dumbass, what's left of Gainax are people who gave us Abenobashi, He is My Master, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World and a slew of other forgettable shit.

>>13766157
>Almost no shows leave a significant mark on anime. Eva certainly didn't
Eva fundamentally changed the marketting strategies of anime and the way it was commercialized. Eva references are the go-to joke in meme manga, and all sorts of people talk about how Evangelion influenced them.
"Influenced by" doesn't just mean "parody of," either. Gurren Lagann took a lot of stuff from Getter, Mazinger, GGG, and even Harlock and Yamato. Hell, Shin Mazinger even lifted from TTGL by cashing in on the "hotblooded, aggressive" protagonist that was previously alien to Mazinger (and because TTGL proved that super robots could sell again).
>Madoka got just as huge a reception as TTGL and it's made zero impact on mahou shoujo.
Magical girls weren't dead when Madoka came out. It's also currently getting milked to shit.

My problem is that TTGL wasn't milked hard enough. Where's my PS2 action game? Where's my dating sim, my Smash game?

>>13766190

>robot that looks like an ordinary dude in armor

>>13766157
Eva made a huge mark on anime, you ignoramus. Granted, it didn't make a huge impact on other mecha shows, but what we now know as "anime stereotypes" were not used near as extensively before Eva and any anime plot that is even mildly depressing, confusing or ambiguous invariably gets compared to Eva. Rahxephon, Bokurano, Tehxnolyze, etc. Eva is also one of the first shows, if not the first, to feature commentary on anime and its loser fandom (no matter how much Anno wants to deny it).

And on the other hand, I don't really see how Tetsujin or Gundam were that influential. You'd be hard pressed to find shows like Tetsujin (although there are a few out there). It certainly was a popular show, I won't deny that, but if you want to talk about popularizing anime as a whole, I think Mazinger Z deserves more credit for that. And Gundam really hasn't affected anything outside of mecha. That I know of, anyway. Maybe I ought to watch UC at some point, but then again, maybe not.

>>13766216
yeeeep, and I think you're being generous with the transforming jets

>>13766203
>"hotblooded, aggressive" protagonist that was previously alien to Mazinger
What the fuck
Mazinger was where that type of protagonist originally came from. Shin Mazinger didn't do anything but exaggerate it, and even then, just a little bit. Have you not seen literally any Mazinger other than Shin Mazinger?

>>13766190
Those things were all made before Trigger was even founded you faggot.

Have you ever read the manga? Kouji is chill as fuck all the time. In Mazinkaiser he shouts a lot when he's serious, but even then he's only rarely serious. He's upbeat, but he's not hotblooded and theatric. Toei Kouji was an awful cunt until he got inside Mazinger, where he continued to act like a bitch but sometimes yelling while doing it. He's aggressive only because of how mean-spirited and awful he is.
Never understood the "Kouji is hotblooded" meme on /m/ until Shin. Is it a SRW thing?

>>13766264
Then I'm going to need an explanation as to why Trigger is so comically inept at animation. Yeah I know it's joke, but for most of Kill la Kill it wasn't.

>>13766257
It's the voice actor that's throwing you off. Hiroya Ishimaru is quite possibly the worst voice actor for conveying hotbloodedness. Generally speaking, Kouji can turn it down, but he's pretty passionate whenever he gets inside Mazinger. I've thought this about every incarnation of him, manga included.

You're a fucking idiot for repeating this garbage. No discussion if everyone agrees? What the fuck are you talking about? Disagreement implies an ARGUMENT. A discussion involves ideas. Like which ones you LIKE, or what things you think are COOL. Anyone can discuss a topic all day with someone they agree with. This board is just full of a bunch of socially incompetent, hateful, entitled, pants-shitting babies who can't talk about something for 10 posts without turning it into a vicious argument.

Do you fucking realize what would happen if TTGL did become a giant success in Japan?

Countless shitty anime would try to follow the leader and as history has shown us, that leads to a bunch of shitty copies with very few decent shows that are inspired by the leader.

>>13766109
Yah.

>>13766061
Some of the potential for it was squandered in the US. Toonami had died just a bit too soon and TTGL ended up on some Sci-Fi anime block that frankly, no one watched.

By the time Toonami came back and got the show, they probably thought that much of their target audience had already seen it, and that resulted in TTGL getting a mediocre time slot on the block.

Changing the leader would actually be good. A lot of good shows are copies of other shows, like Fafner and Macross. Compared to the truly original stuff, they're probably better.

>>13766092

Because they are a small new studio that had worked on two things before. One was a a flash gag show and the other was funded by the government and only only 30 minutes long. Also KLK like TTGL before it had super shit scheduling to the point where the last episodes only made it to the station within hours. Not that hard to figure out why KLK cut corners. Saying Trigger is bad at animation is just ignoring all of LWA and the good parts of KLK. Also that one LN adaption they did looked pretty decent too.

Ah yes, Gainax, the doujin animation studio known for their high budgets and production values rivalling Ghibli and Madhouse.

>>13769769
Gainax had funding from major companies like Star Child, Knox works, etc. which explains why Eva had three different licenses backing it, Nadia aired on NHK which finances all its programs. Trigger in comparison had to use Kickstarter to get LWA2 extended hell the first one was government funded.

The fuck are you talking about. How does V-On not fall under action/beat em up? Just because it's a fighter? ZoE is too in vs. And V-On (barring Marz) definitely matches those games in quality. which isn't difficult with God Hand on that list

And again, Armored Core et al. play as fast as ZoE if you choose to build like that. Random example of high mobile Verdict Day off yt:

Agreed. TTGL's story is super well contained, and the conclusion (especially for the movies) leaves little area to improve upon. With the parallel works covering the Lordgenome era quickly and neatly, and the message of such a work running so contrary to the main series, I don't see a prequel being wanted or viable.

>not being familiar with one of the best and most important mecha series somehow doesn't make you a newfag

Look it up. Also, it's seinfeld effect. It's been very influential but was completely unprecedented when it came out in the 80s. Even it's origins, as kitbashes built around action figures for a fictional future setting writeup gaining cult popularity in a magazine before eventually getting picked up for actual model releaes was unheard of. As far as I know it's the only true example of auteurship in plamo.

And even if it seemed like it was imitating a generic style, anyone can see it's an excellent example of it. There's no one that than can do the grungy mashup of WW2 and Star Wars/Dune as well as Kow. Not being able to recognize that regardless of your familiarity is tasteless.

As somebody who loves a lot of Gainax works, weren't they always farmers? TTGL's talent was almost exclusively in its concept artists, animators and storyboard artists -- ie, not its writers. TTGL loses its momentum and treads water for like 8 episodes after the timeskip, and if you look at Nakashima's other major anime work, KLK, it does the exact same thing.

I've always got the impression that super robo doesn't translate well to games because there's no good way to translate actual desire to win/hot bloodedness into a game without some shitty "mana bar" of energy that lets you do fixed attacks. The magic of super robot is lost that way IMO. Attack costs and energy bars that recharge over time, being at least somewhat rooted in reality, work way better for real robot, where running out of ammo and having fixed times for guns to recharge happens all the time.

Has anyone here played a super robot game where the feeling of the source material is actually captured? I'd be interested in playing something like that.

Yeah, sure. Symphogear, Genei, YuYuYu... Madoka showed that mahou shoujo can be targeted at adult males and do well. Nanoha was first but nothing really happened after it, industry had to encounter another mahou shoujo show to believe in the possibility.

Here are some figures from MyAnimeList, which is by far the most popular anime cataloguing website around:
>TTGL has been viewed by 443,580 users, which is 268,290 more than NGE and 338,153 more than Gundam 00 (the most viewed Gundam anime)
>TTGL is the second most viewed mecha anime behind Code Geass, as well as the most viewed super robot anime
>TTGL has been seen by more people than Madoka Magicka, Cowboy Bebop, and any ten fucking Gintama series that MAL circlejerks over
>no Gundam is in the top 300 most popular anime series on MAL
TTGL is also the 18th most seen anime by MAL's users, and one of three mecha anime in the top 50.
>The only remotely popular mecha series here are Gundam and Macross, TTGL is no more popular than any other super robot show.
Gundam isn't popular at all in America. That's why everyone is constantly bitching about muh untranslated Gundam. There's a niche for it, but Banpresto doesn't give a shit because it's not a profitable amount. Macross is probably one of the least well-known series in America (among non-anime viewers) outside of variable fighters and the still popular (for a board game) Battletech. Robotech didn't do nearly as well as /m/ leads you to believe, and people only know about it because of the unique designs and by virtue of being part of the shitty 80s nostalgia. If a Robotech movie were to come out today it would probably make less than Macross Plus.

>>13778955
No, you're stupid.

A. What you posted isn't mecha.
B. It doesn't address my argument, which is that the feeling of being able to will a victory into existence out of personal intensity and will power.

The video you shows supports that games have to use a shitty mana or energy bar that's fulfilled by meeting some arbitrary in-game requirement. Quantifying a player's actual mental energy and fighting spirit is a far cry from giving you concentration for standing near someone and attacking in a specific way for a while, and video games cannot do that right now.

>>13766061
Evangelion aside, most Gainax IPs are laregely ignored. The industry never step up to the mark the company typically sets.
Even with Eva, the best you get is a spate of cheap knock offs.

It doesn't help that Gainax is practically being wound up right about now. I think there's only 1 person left even managing merchandising and spin-offs anymore.
