What slimy dumpster did that aborted fetus of a mech crawl out of?

>>13843328
Since /m/ debated amongst themselves for a long-ass time and came to the conclusion that balls are the perfect mecha design for a balance of firepower and defense.

Of course, when put into effect, /m/ realized it wasn't as exciting, and Heavy Object just took the general idea and ran with it.

The mechanical design looks like ass. They don't have limbs for the most part. That kills melee choreography that mech shows should rely on. Even outlaw star's grappler ships understood that. What you're left with is ultimately just a tank show, and it's not an impressive one. If you look on the threads on /a/ for a minute you notice almost all of the talk is devoted to the girls, or LN readers talking about how their favorite character isn't getting animated.
When you put this together it's just not a show that will catch on with /m/, but hey at least the girls are hot.

>>13843520
Over saturation of mediocrity, otaku drift in media to those who would buy overpriced fan pandering shit as opposed to a general audience. Allot of this come down to the Japanese economy being still in slow recession/recovery since 1990, so large risk creative endeavourers are always treated as unnecessary risks. Also profits passed the quality threshold in the same way as Hollywood , Where other wise tired and repetitive garbage still seems to endlessly make money while using ever inflating budgets, and hey if i was a real bastard of an investor why would i fund some risky robot movie by some mexican when i know grown ups 2 will make 200mil for sure

No real Braves equivalent to indoctrinate kids into mecha with is my theory. We really need more things like danball senki getting kidsinto the genre.

I'm really getting tired of this trend of LNfags trying to push their shitty stories here just because it has a few /m/ elements
Those are balls with guns strapped to them, what an amusing concept! I know you're going to retort about "well, they aren't generic mecha" like you've been doing, but go right ahead. The fucking Technodrome looks better than all of those things, but not enough to warrant a thread every two days.

We don't talk about Heavy Object like we don't talk about Great Dangaioh.
Yeah, they have mecha, but they're both shit.

>>13843520
I'd say it because mecha series don't seem to even try aim at kids anymore.

>>13843651
>Great Dangaioh
Is it really that bad, I'll have to give it a try then.

I dropped it early on, my main problem was the pacing and the fact that the director can't seem to put tension in scenes. Like the part where the princess was being suffocated by the belts or about to be captured by the enemies and the MC is just doing some internal monologue in real time, it made those scenes feel so slow as fuck making it lose any kind of tension. For those scenes, the internal monologue should have been done in bullet time styled presentation to make it seem like the MC's brain was going into overdrive (kinda like how in sports series where the characters still have time to think even though balls and punches are supposed to be blazing through.)

>>13843396
>Since /m/ debated amongst themselves for a long-ass time and came to the conclusion that balls are the perfect mecha design for a balance of firepower and defense.

This has never happened and is not true.

>>13843693
>For those scenes, the internal monologue should have been done in bullet time styled presentation to make it seem like the MC's brain was going into overdrive

They just shouldn't be done at all. LNs/Manga rely on them due to the limitations on their mediums, but animation is supposed to be about show not tell.

>>13843654

Kids just don't care about giant robots anyway, as Gyrozetter helped prove

>>13843648
The closest thing to a regular franchise appealing to kids these days is Battle Spirits, and even then the mechs are a secondary element.

>>13843735
Meanwhile, Toei clearly don't even know how to get kids to give a damn about Sentai beyond a collectable gimmick. Just look at the upcoming mechs.

>>13843359
The animation is rather lackluster but the show is better than I expected.

>They don't have limbs for the most part. That kills melee choreography that mech shows should rely on.

This is literally the worst part of mecha genre. Retarded melee combat with giant robots.

That's the part that makes 90% of people go "wow, that looks so fucking stupid".

You can have great action without the idiotic robot sword fights.

>>13843643

But this is completely wrong.

It's the original anime like Madoka that always become the biggest hits and make the most money. The #1 problem with anime are the countless shitty low budget harem LN adaptations and horrible mecha shows that think they will sell just because they are mecha.

>>13844984
It's the opposite for me. I'm more entertained by giant robot Melee fights than a shoot out.

The main problem of "combat robots" in the "justification" of their necessity and superiority over other military equipment ...

Before the "object" of such issues is not necessary - they are many times more powerful than any standard technique and not too complicated (compared with anthropomorphic Gundam)

>>13845028

Out of all the types of mecha I saw they are one of those that actually kind of make sense.

They fly on repulsors instead of walking. Their pilots suffer all the issues one should suffer by piloting a machine that makes you go through G12 every turn.

Their toughness and mobility explain why armies would use them instead of normal tanks.

Their shape is explained by their power source.

I can't believe people find them dumb and boring while masturbation to shit like Gundam.

Real robots will always be super as long as there is a hero and he fights in a main mecha. They all use something to justify mobile suit use (or at least they used to) in universe like Minovsky particles. Protags part is b8.

Chirico bounces between ATs like nobody's business. That doesn't qualify as a main mecha. My point still stands.

>>Heavy Object has antigravity

If you think electromagnetic suspension can account for the 100t truck nut's existence then you have a poor understanding of physics. There is no reason you can brush that off while calling Gundam stupid.
>lunar titanium is, as any futuristic alloy, lighter and stronger than current metals

The only thing Hebby Objection has that's more "realistic" to the undiscerning eye is a vague similarity to a tank. However while (again I'm using Gundam because it's an easy go-to) mobile suits are treated as actual military equipment, Objects are basically invincible death machines that you can only kill by 1v1ing them noob or by being the protags. They are fantasy machines, in the real world the US would have 10x the amount of Objects as any other country instead of whatever rock-paper-scissors bullshit ended up in the anime.

>Are you an idiot?

You most certainly are for apparently thinking that melee combat has never been a thing even in the presence of firearms.

Current military doctrine among professional standing armies has greatly reduced such incidences, yes, but don't act like it hasn't existed, especially since Gundam aired shortly after 'Nam where hand to hand combat was rife.

>There's the future, nerd

Ah, of course. The nebulous 'future', yes, where we all come to magically have repulsor lifts and flying cars because of equally nebulous 'materials', 'energy sources' and 'technologies', all without going into how thoroughly impractical a giant gun sphere is as a weapon anyway when there exist weapons that do its job already for less of an asking price.

>>13848752
>So by that same token, bayoneting and melee combat do not exist in reality

They no longer exist. For decades. Japan loved bayonet charges in WW2 and look at their causalities.

Close combat weapons are a complete joke compared to ranged weapons.

People need to realize that giant robots fighting with swords is no longer cool. Every new mecha anime fails horribly. And for some reason almost every anime studio forces humanoid mecha into every future war setting no matter how dumb it is.

>Chirico bounces between ATs like nobody's business. That doesn't qualify as a main mecha. My point still stands.

Alas, no ...

Again, partial "Dougram" - fighting vehicle of protagonist is slightly different in design, but in the technical level does not exceed the enemy mecha ... unlike the "Gundam" and other

And who said that mecha anime necessarily need a "main mecha"? "VOTOMS" proves the opposite

>If you think electromagnetic suspension can account for the 100t truck nut's existence then you have a poor understanding of physics.


And you probably do not have imagination and flexibility of thinking ... This is the future - advanced superconductors and huge electrical power. In order to enhance the effect of "electrostatic suspension" (which produce the most powerful device, powered by a technically advanced reactor), it uses a special agent ...

Anyway, it turns more plausible than the "levitation based Minovsky particles"

>The only thing Hebby Objection has that's more "realistic" to the undiscerning eye is a vague similarity to a tank. However while (again I'm using Gundam because it's an easy go-to) mobile suits are treated as actual military equipment

Are you serious? ... Any Gundam is invincible killing machine, which can only ruin the other Gundam - where realism is there?

>>13849187

Melee combat can sometimes happen. It's incredibly rare but happens.

The thing is building your war machine around melee combat is completely retarded. Nobody even use bayonets in combat. Even during WW2 almost nobody used them. They were only useful when guns had very limited ammo.

Here is a very important point - the armor and firepower

Compare the sizes of "Little Magnum" with ships and port facilities, and think about the caliber of its guns, thick armor and the fact that at such a scale it can move at a speed of 530 km per hour ...

>>13849363

>What difference is there?

The fact that the concept of "object" as an absolute force on the battlefield was originally conceived and consistently shows

The authors of the anime / manga / and others for Gundam attempted to call these robots "prototypes", so only they far surpass any "serial" MS, and no matter how worthless their pilot, no matter how many opponents, no matter how the enemy superior in tactics - Gundam can only destroy other Gundam ... but blue / red / white Gundam generally always wins

>>13849383
>The fact that the concept of "object" as an absolute force on the battlefield was originally conceived and consistently shows

Yeah, that's very nice, fulfilling their intended purpose, it still boils down to two super magic mechs being invincible to everything that isn't themselves or the actions of two goofballs, just like how Gundams tank everything except assaults from named characters.

So what's different?

>>13849397
>So what's different?

Okay, one more time ...

"Objects" is a heavy-duty military vehicles, which can defeat the other "object", but you can use and proper tactics that would prevent him to perform a combat mission. Besides, even the "object" of the protagonist was once again destroyed and many damaged

"Gundam" is the only one of the many models of MS, however, for some reason, they daubed the glands can not overcome any of the other MS models. And as "Gundam" the main characters are invulnerable, and the only thing that they face a cosmetic upgrade

>>13849488

That doesn't answer my question, so for the third time round I'm going to phrase it in a manner that you can hopefully understand: disregarding the stupid bullshit about 'realism', because Objects are just as unrealistic as Gundams are, the issue is you complaining that Gundams run roughshod over everything that isn't a Gundam - which isn't true, across the franchise's 37-year history, almost - and that factors into making them unrealistic, yet the Objects are also similarly invulnerable to everything that isn't another Object or convenient sabotage, yet you flaunt Heavy Object as a champion of realism because they were apparently designed to be 'an absolute force on the battlefield.'

Using your point of view they're both guilty of the same fucking thing, getting down to brass tacks, so what's the difference?

If these things are the ultimate armored fighting vehicle, then why are all the guns completely unarmored and all on the outside of the vehicle?

>>13849488

Still watching the show, but honestly, what's the fucking point of shoehorning all those weapons onto a giant armored ball? If you've got the energy sources to make these move at hundred of kilometers per hour, why not just make battalions of futuristic superfast hovertanks or some shit equipped with an Object-class gun?

>>13850759

Because you need the giant reactor to power those weapons. This is why the core of every object is a 50m ball containing a reactor.

And you actually can destroy an object with tanks or aircraft. The thing is in the process you will suffer horrible loses and public opinion prefers the "clean" wars with objects where one object fights another object instead of thousands of soldiers killing each other.

>>13849497
>Objects are just as unrealistic as Gundams are

They really aren't. It's not like they are super realistic but compared to Gundams it's not even a contest. Objects are something that could possible work with sufficient tech level. Gundams are nothing more than completely unrealistic toys.

And that guy is really right. Gundam is all about super incredible special snowflake robots that made everything else pointless. And even among them you have some super experimental Gundams that shit on everything else.

While objects can be destroyed with other weapons. They are the dominant war machines because of clean wars they brought. Politicians love them and public opinion love them. And obviously one dead pilot from time to time easily beats thousands of coffins going home after every battle.

You also don't see special snowflake experimental objects slaughtering dozens of older objects.

They just aren't culturally relevant anymore. Real life moved on.

Robot anime grew out of the space race era of technology, a generation of Japanese creators that grew up with WWII media, the motorization of Japan, contemporary toy technology that was particularly suited to robot action figures and other factors. These days kids have video games and the internet, vehicle interest is low, and Japanese youth (and the generation before them) have had absolutely nothing to do with war, conflict, or weapons.
