So. What are good series to getyour SOinto mecha?My GF knows about my collection and seemed a bit interested at it but I never got far in explaining about the series or characters. She definitely likes anime (recently got her to watch Ore Monogatari and she loved it) but has zero knowledge about mecha other than some old ass toku that aired here so I'm a bit unsure if something like the original Gundam would be a deal breaker.

Not every girl is the same. They are people just like you and me, with different personalities and varying taste in anime.
What does she like? If she is more impressed by the writing and direction of a series you could start her off with more classic series like Mobile Suit Gundam, VOTOMs, Giant Robo (OVA), etc
If she's more into contemporary anime aka weeaboo garbage like Attack on Titan or whatever else is airing on Adult Swim then maybe try showing her more shiny stuff like Evangelion, Gundam Seed, TTGL, Eureka 7 or Code Geass
I'd try Macross DYRL or escaflowne
Really though none of us know her as well as you do. We can't really make a recommendations on what she wants unless you tell us what you know she likes in the first place. You gave us one romance anime she liked that's not really a lot to go on. Romance is also a catch all genre.It took me way too long to figure out SO wasn't the word so sarcastically, but significant other.
>>14394263
How many mecha series out there use romance as a main plot point, anyway? Other than Macross, Eureka 7 and Brain Powerd I'm having a hard time thinking of any where it's not just subplot.

I was going through my gundam folder when I noticed that a good portion of the fanart struck me as being impressively godlike in appearance, especially the Turn-A.
This led me to the imagining of a religion circulating around a pantheon of Gundams, who long ago traveled the cosmos before settling down and created humanity in their image. I put way too much time and thought into this despite not having written anything at all in such a long time, so feel free to spam the tl;dr, because even I think this goes on for too long and reads like half-baked fanfiction.
So before I go on, this thread basically asks if you were in charge of writing a religion revolving around Gundam, how would it go, and what would the gods be like/represent?
>>14389020
Turn-A, the White Doll, was essentially the Zeus of this mythos, with regards to being both the leader and the most powerful. Though unlike Zeus, he was compassionate rather than petty. Turn-A had set off on his expedition an innumerable amount of millennia ago, having grown weary from the countless battles he experienced in what was only known as the "Dark History"; a battle that Turn-A himself ended single-handedly, but at end left so much destruction that the universe, which once was teeming with light and filled with gods, literally was rendered the black and empty void we witness now. In the cold vastness, Turn-A wished to begin anew, and thus went searching for a place that would be suitable for life. Along the way the White Doll encountered several other Gods whom no longer had world nor home, and too wished to begin anew. And so for an unknown period they traveled until they eventually found Earth. A molten bundle of rock suitable for nothing but fire. Even so the Gundams saw potential in this burning speck, and used their godly powers to plant a seed deep within the Earth, that when sprouted, would bring life to the planet. To this end, Turn-A himself fused with the planet in order to ensure the success of his gift, leaving the protection of the Earth to the remaining Pantheon.
>>14389028
Wing Gundam, The Goddess of Beauty, is speculated to be the actual inspiration behind what we call Angels in the Catholic and Christian religion. Though kind and caring as she was magnificent, her wrath was the most fearful, having been scarred by the most loss and devastation during the Dark History.
In the earliest annals it is written that to wrong Wing, would be to call upon misfortune and end in the form of a great light guided by her 4 servants. From here we are told that entire countries were wiped clean at her hands. In all of our findings, survivors of such events all depict a great beam of light piercing through the clouds and shattering the earth, while 4 giants stood at each corner, slaughtering any who dare escape.
The grand and towering mountains that litter the earth were in fact attributed to the destruction wrought by Wing Gundam.
So fearful of Wing was man, that in the aftermath, neighboring civilizations would burn any trace or relation they had to the obliterated society in hopes of appeasing the angry Goddess; only retaining vague stories of her anger as to pass down to their children. One of these tales describes an empire ruled by an arrogant man.
>>14389020
well the Turn A was revered as something of a deity. Remember they used to have orgies and stuff in front of it

y'know, I hate how Destiny was so lazy it literally just took designs from UC, but Beam Weapon Dom is pretty grand and never did the good ole purple fatty look as intimidating and dangerous with the possible exception of the Black Tri Stars, and they still lost a guy the first time they showed up.
>>14388521
They literally just wanted an Acronym that said DOM didn't they.
>>14388521
Why didn't they add Trooper into the acronym for DOMT?

Maybe there will be a stream like last season?

Why do people say IBO is unpopular? There's a lot of things I don't like but I don't pretend they weren't popular like SEED. But it feels like there is this idea that IBO is actually hated when really people just don't like it.
My idea of something that was actually unpopular was AGE. That is something you could tell was unpopular
I feel like that unless the show doesn't break some kind of record like SEED, 00 or Unicorn, it's considered not a popular show when that isn't how that works
>>14381259
Have you seen the DVD/Bluray sales? Those have really, really dropped.
>>14381331
They're dropping at the usual rate for a blu-ray. Like if it had gone down to like 4k or something, yeah
>>14381331
Literallly the same dropping rate that Reco had, 10k > 7k. Unless you're counting the first volume but this is dumb because it was half price. Hell, I remember months ago G-Reco arguing, and they were right, that you can't compare G-Reco's first volume to IBO's because of the price, that a fair comparision was v2 vs v2.

why does everyone (every male character at least) do the same weird square mouth gaping talking animation? It's quite overused, heck most of the time it seems to be from the same angle too

Dougram and other stuff week 9 rotates in at 1pm Eastern on taima tv mog-3. There's still time to catch week 8 until then.
Dougram Episode 17: The Tenacity of the Reaper
Dougram Episode 18: City of Mirages
After killing and eating the annoying guy the Dougram gang heads forth to be tactical and realistic in Bonar, a place that has a totally serious name that nobody could ever mock. Will the evil Garcia Platoon continue to pursue them while twirling their collective mustaches? Probably!

Jesus this really is the wildly unnecessary and dumb Star Wars prequels origin of Darth Vader shit isn't it? I mean this whole thing has already been pretty terrible especially with the whole real Char Aznable body double garbage but to have him effectively initiate the OYW itself? I mean sure, the political climate was already heading in that direction and it was basically inevitable. But to actually have him plan and lead the attack that really sparked it is ludicrous parody.
Bravo Sunrise. I guess the entire universe revolves around Char.
>14374876
>not liking origin
OP, maybe you would be better off on a different board, like /fa/ or /mlp/.
>>14374876
It's not canon.
>>14374876
>this really is the wildly unnecessary and dumb star wars prequel origins of Darth Vader shit
Nah it's so much better than that, it's like one movie of Half-Vader, then 2 movies of full fledged Darth Vader just fucking shit up. Also there's no lame "fall to the dark side", Char is just a psychopath, always was.
I can see how someone wouldn't like it, but I really enjoy the ridiculous Char wanking.
Honest question: how much influence did SEED have in shaping the way anime is currently made?
Other than being a major early digital anime title, little to none. It made TMR a lot more famous and was a popular series with women. It gave Gundam an extra kick in the pants and 'may' have resulted in the higher number of series we've seen produced after 2000, but that can just as easily be tributed to Unicorn.
Actually, Seed's biggest aspect was being a major title for pirating. It was one of the first newly airing anime series to get a large foreign audience as it aired week by week, coinciding largely with the rise of bittorrent. At first, I got early episodes from naptster and other such programs, but by the end of the show, torrents took over and changed everything.

>was a popular series with women
Really? I can see the reasoning, but still kind for me to believe
