Why can't normalfags into mecha?
They can't?
>no Code geass
bait
What if I didn't like any of those either? At least the ones I've seen.
>>161164160
Japan is into robots.
Spain was into robots.
South America was extremely into robots.
I'd say they're pretty popular.
Heck, a ton of the most popular anime out there are all robot anime. Code Geass, NGE or TTGL are all practically required viewing even to the most casual of people.
I watched the first season of Gundam. it's just really bad. Lots of 'budget' moments, bad voice acting and just cringy dialogue. Call me when you've actually god a decent mecha show like Eureka Seven for me to watch.
good mecha
I don't watch Gundam because I can't stand most of the characters
Don't watch super mech series because monster of the week (same reason I don't watch precure)
So, why does this thread normally get deleted so quickly? Is it made by a bot? Does the mod have a feud with the anon who tends to make this repost thread?
>>161164995
>Don't watch super mech series because monster of the week
Eh, there's lots of non-MOTW ones as well. NGE, Gun and Diebuster, TTGL, Eureka 7, Big-O (well, that is MOTW but more along the lines of NGE's MOTW), Giant Robo, Five Star Stories, Getter Robo Armageddon, ZoE...
>>161165211
Mods are normalfags and plebs who get triggered by it. They are a primary cause in elitism disappearing from this board.
Mecha is not anime.
Don't forget to sage and report these threads.
Does transformers count as mecha? I never see it discussed on /a/.
Who the fuck is watching mecha, and actually is enjoying it? All mecha, except Eva is shit.
>>161165675
This. Might as well watch YouTube videos of someone's kid slamming their robot toys together. You'd get the exact same experience either way.
>>161165749
>>161165675
You're unironically right. It's like executives think people watch mecha for the redundant laser beams shooting eachother
Why is IBO not on there
>>161165675
they're giant robots what is there to understand
I kinda feel weird not liking the genre more (though I'm more into fantasy than sci-fi)
>>161165955
any more Gundam series and the list will be 90% Gundam
>>161165958
>>I kinda feel weird not liking the genre more
There just isn't much to it. They all follow the same principle and that's dull. Once you've seen one you've seen all.
>>161165337
Is that ZoE anime any good?
Anyone remember that Turkish politician who embezzled public funds to build a Zaku? Good times
I can't get any of my friends to watch Gundam because they are scared of how many series there are.
>>161167538
Just tell them to watch 0079, Zeta, ZZ, CCA, and Unicorn for the major early UC stuff. AU Gundam are all trash and Build Fighters isn't nearly as fun to watch if you don't recognize the suits.
>>161167538
Well they're more likely 'scared' how much bad series there are.
>>161167620
>>161167663
I already told them what to watch and what to avoid. I even told them various things they could start with if they don't want to start with the UC.
>>161167718
What did you tell them exactly? Gundam just isn't that innovative of a show. That's all there is to it. Even Naruto has more subtle adult themes.
>>161165662
>still better animation than Berserk
>>161167773
I talked a bit about each show, they've seen the various suits, and other stuff. What subtle adult themes for Naruto?
>>161167907
I said more subtle.
I miss when /m/ threads on /a/ were good. Now their just a complete mess.
>>161167538
>Being intimidated by the size of a franchise or world.
>Not being excited to explore and jump into something that has decades of history and development behind it and expansive lore and world surrounding it.
I genuinely dont get it, all you have to do is watch and/or read in production order, its not like you need to watch all of it at once either learn to pace yourself.
>>161168003
It's a reflection on how mecha has completely gone to shit.
>>161165662
it counts as mecha but doesn't count as anime
send it to /m/
>>161164160
I don't know about normalfags, but when it comes to mecha I'm just lazy. I see all these shows with a 100/200 episodes and I think "Eh. Eventually, but not now."
>>161168003
Maybe they would be better if you learned English
>>161168105
Is anything in this thread wrong though? We all know Gundam might have been the first and history and whatnot but does that really matter?
>>161171423
Making a their they're mistake doesn't automatically qualify me as an ESL, reatard
>>161171820
I'm not the retard here.
>>161164160
I think the problem is that I don't have an eye for mecha. They all look the same to me and I keep getting them confused in the middle of the fight scenes.
For instance, in Eureka Seven, you'd think it'd be easy, since there's only four robots on the ship, but even still I would mess up with Renton's robot vs the commanders robot. I think one of them was pink and the other one was red, but then when I thought I knew which was which, they would zoom into the cockpit and show that I was wrong. It was really annoying.
The only shows where this hasn't happened are Eva and TTGL, because the robots are extremely distinctive and brightly colored. And I guess that's what it takes. The less childish the designs get, the less I can follow.
>>161172548
Like all Bones shows I watch it for the OP/EDs
Best mecha coming through.
>>161172548
Eureka Seven is pretty easy to follow. And the mecha conflicts aren't the most important part.
I think the issue is that there's just nothing really interesting about mecha alone. Many 'mecha' shows are just mecha without any real element that requires the show to be mecha.
>>161165994
Just replace 00 with it
>>161164376
So you didn't like eva or GL
Everyone will like mecha if they manage to make the statue walk at the Olympics. Worldwide craze guaranteed.
Origin TV was confirmed for next year so get ready for nonstop Zeon posting.
>it'll be the shitty CGI from the movies
>instead of a better budget Thunderbolt season 1 or Unicorn budget and studio animation
>>161164764
While I like that show, I still feel it should have put more work into the fact that he's a born and need child soldier in a world with no armies or even really organized conflict. It was one episode of "don't kill people umkay?" And that was it.
>>161174594
EVA was just a wish fulfilment harem isekai with some attention in directing and a sizeable budget. I enjoyed it but it was kind of cringy. The movies are a lot more mature though. Looking forward to a 6/10 fourth movie at the very least.
GL was good up til the bathouse episode (around episode 7 iirc) but after that it just became a bore.
>>161175312
>Eva
>Isekai
>>161175360
it's literally another world
>>161175312
What the fuck
>>161164160
>00
>good
>>161165211
Because mods don't want /a/ to go down the same path as /v/, the fact that you want this kind of bait thread to exist says a lot about you
>>161175384
Educate yourself before posting on 4chan.org/a/
>>161175929
Not an argument. There's nothing wrong with liking chuuni shows anon. You do you.
>>161175384
Did you make this same argument regarding some other fantasy show before? I recognize this specific brand of stupid from some other thread.
>>161164661
>I watched a rushed show written by a hack from the 70's and it was bad
Wow really dude? Dude really? Do you really think it was bad dude?
>>161176753
Not my fault they didn't drop Gundam and kept shitting out more sequels
>>161176990
You basically just said "I know nothing about Gundam as a series and I'm just regurgitating memes to sound more contrarian"
>>161177053
Nope. I explained why gundam is disliked by so many people. And I'm not wrong either
>>161177482
>I explained why gundam is disliked by so many people.
For the first Show. Not the series.
>And I'm not wrong either
MY OPINION IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG AND STUPID
>>161177559
>Not the series
People have dropped it after the first series.
>>161177653
And that's stupid, because not every show in the Gundam series is:
a. A sequel to the first show
b. Of the same quality of the first show
like you seem to think they are.
>>161177729
>and that's stupid
No, it literally isn't stupid. If the first show sucks and you dropped it watching a sequel is stupid. Not my fault they keep shitting out sequels as I've explained here >>>161176990
Just realize that this is the only reason no one cares about Gundam.
>>161177782
What are you, retarded? I JUST said that not every show is a sequel to the first one you stupid faggot.
>>161177819
>it's not a sequel by my arbitrary standards
>still called gundam
>still came out after gundam
you connect the dots
>>161164310
>2017
>still having unironic 8th grader syndrome
>>161165675
Have you watched Gundam Thunderbolt? It can open your eyes
>>161177854
If you actually knew anything about the series other than contrarian memes, you'd know that, by definition, not every show in the series is a sequel to the first series. I'd say that there might be even more AU series than there are sequels to the first show.
>>161177993
>it's not a sequel by my arbitrary standards
>still called gundam
>still came out after gundam
you connect the dots
>implying it doesn't continue themes, setting, universe
You're really just stupid and don't know what a sequel is.
>>161178172
>>implying it doesn't continue themes, setting, universe
Once again, showing how little you know about the series. Outstanding.
>>161164764
I would dock inside all of their rear ports.
>>161178226
I think this more implies just how little you know about the English language. Granted there's also prequels. They were still made after Gundam though and are still a sequel (follow-up) in that regard.
>>161178328
G-Gundam does not continue the themes of the original show, has none of the settings of the original show, and does not take place in the universe of the original show. It doesn't take place on the same timeline, so it doesn't take place after the original show, and since it takes place in another universe, the events that take place in G-Gundam are not a result of the events that took place in the original show.
>>161178485
>does not continue the themes of the original show

>wanting casuals to watch your shows
>>161178596
>literally alternative to events happening in the original gundam
No, they fucking aren't. They're two completely different shows that only share the Gundam name and the fact that there are mobile suits in them.
>>161177919
>clearly didn't read the image
>>161178671
>they only share
Stopped reading there
>>161178854
Yes, it's very clear that you don't fully read any of my posts and you're only interested in memes.
>>161178896
>you didn't fully read any of my posts
No, just that one. Maybe if Gundam was actually good more people would watch it. I'd pick a Miyazaki movie over Gundam any day of the week because at least I can forget about those.
>>161178967
Sure thing.
>>161178995
Glad you agree.
>>161175957
Take this /pol/ shit back to your containment board. You can't just expect to say buzzwords like "isekai" and "chuuni" and expect to be taken seriously.
>>161179163
Not an argument. There's nothing wrong with enjoying chuuni shows anon. You do you.
>>161179215
Ok. Guess this thread never really had much hope to begin with. Have your second (You) from me, and I'll be on my way.
>>161179276
Not your blog.
I really hope Gundam: The Origin doesn't end up adapting the 0079 story. I can't stand the thought of all the lazy newfags who'll watch it without seeing the original.
>>161179353
Don't worry. You can keep the toy commercial for yourself. We don't need it.
