What does /m/ think of Machine Robo - Revenge of Cronos? To the uninformed, it's a campy as fuck 20 minute toy commercial from the 80s, pretty much like transformers but with more 80s anime cliches like having a Kenshiro like main protag.

Mobile Suit Gundam Abridged was fantastic, what are you on about?
what are your thoughts on b-daman past the bomberman bakugaiden stuff, /m/?
I think the designs are cute and fun.
We used to be able to break glass windows and shit with the old ones. Nowadays they have no firepower.

Stop thinking you're in an anime.
I loved it when they were model kits instead of solid toys
What is so great about Votoms anyway?
Watched ATV like 10 months ago and finally brought myself to watch Mellowlink yesterday and I don't understand how it is so highly regarded. I went in because fans told me about how much they loved it so I was disappointed even though I liked some of its aspects, eg the fact that it's hard SF and the plot, but there's also a lot of flaws :
-the dated animation that didn't age as good as MSG, for example
-most of the cast, like the terrible comic relief side characters
-the overused "hero winning against all odds" trope, that even if partly explained by the story doesn't excuse all the times where the baddies miss all their shots against the protag so that he can win (especially annoying in Mellowlink).
So, my question is : should I bother with the rest of the saga? As of now, I already downloaded a batch with all of them but I have no interest in watching them if they keep the same flaws throughout the newer releases.
>>14303780
>-the dated animation that didn't age as good as MSG, for example
I want to know from which parallel universe you are posting from where animation of MSG has aged good.
Besides, I have always found the "aged animation" to be a hollow argument considering the show string budget Japanese animation company has worked and has been the practice for long (and also taking account of the time period and it's nature of product being weekly show than a feature length film ) and more like a weak excuse in case for not picking it up.
>-most of the cast, like the terrible comic relief side characters
It was meant to balance out the overall Grim and stoic display of the Protagonist, which I found alright, and time to time did recused the MC. Which brings us to-
>the overused "hero winning against all odds" trope, that even if partly explained by the story doesn't excuse all the times where the baddies miss all their shots against the protag so that he can win (especially annoying in Mellowlink).
A big plot point in the tv series that culiminates in a big showdown of eternal battle of fate and free will plus Chirico did got his ass handed most of the time and managed to get through for his pragmatism until the reveal at the end of Sunsa Arc. While Mellowlink did had silly luck on his side many time, you gotta have to commend him for having gigantic balls to take a leap of faith.
>What is so great about Votoms anyway?
Simple - you don't see this kind of stuff everyday. The aspects you already mentioned (it's hard SF and the plot), makes it quite unique for it's time and even today , I would dare say. You can't find the charm of everyone using those mini mechs (compared to average size of Japanese mechs ) and those battles with such gritt and industrial aesthetics.And that Gun and missile arsenal minus flashy laser dance. Plus it had perfect ending ,which brings us to your next question

>So, my question is : should I bother with the rest of the saga?
The watchables:
If you are not a completionist or just want to see only the good stuff - Go with 3 OVA that were made in 80s - Last Red Shoulder, Roots of Ambition and Big Battle. 2 of them are prequel while Big battle is a sort of middle-prequel that happens one years before the final scenes of the last episode of the tv series. Don't mess with overall plot and have best 2d Scopedog action animation as a benefit of OVA budget and small span.
Passables if you are curious -
Pailsen Files: Another prequel OVA with computer CGI. Okay plot and some interesting scenario ,very average at the end.
Case;Irvine: Unrelated to main series side story.Pretty much staple affair dealing with a battling pilot cum mechanic with a past he want to forget related his days in Kummen.
Votom Finders: Apart from name, nothing to do with Votoms Universe. Short underdog Shonen dreaming big story.
The dreaded:
The sequel OVAs (as in their chronoloigcal order ) -Shinning Heresy , Along again and Phantom Arc are the one that will give a feeling of sand in your mouth after it's completion.
As a glaring example of corporate greed and fanboy fanaticism, the ending of tv series is spoiled for the sake of 3 isolated and short OVA that makes no sense and purpose.
If you want to see them anyway , well Shinning Heresy is quite good until the last 6 minutes of the final episode, Phantom Arc begins abruptly with one character missing and seems to conclude Chirico's story overall, while Alone again , well the name spoils it what is going to happen if you have seen shinning heresy only or both. So here, chronological order of things have been recommended.

Evangelion should be at the very top.
While Gurren Lagan has kind of fallen by the wayside, Evangelion still has an undeservedly massive following.
It's one of those things that shouldn't be considered entry-level because they're really not that good or tailored for mainstream audiences, but are still entry-level because they allow people to sound smart for liking them, and apparently the majority of people care about this more than they care about being entertained.
>>14278117
I think Ginguiser at the bottom should be a tiny bit brighter.
Every guy has a fantasy of a female robot you can just screw and turn off, right? Is there a female equivalent to this fantasy?
A vibrator
A boy robot?
Maybe with a cuddle function, too.

Oh good, this thread is back.
I am very bad at this game
Badness Transcendent
After almost 2 month of operation, the last 70s & 80s mecha thread's limit have been reached and it is now heading torward the depth of the last pages. Hopefully, here s the new 70s & 80s mecha thread comming through, ready to continue it's predecessor's job. Not been here lately? Gone missing or something? Here's the previous thread >>13958313.
Most of you already know the rules, right? If not, here's what this thread is for: argue, discuss and dump stuff like artworks, fanarts (if they're well made of course), sketches, magazines' scans, artbooks, DVD/VHS/LD/CD/BD's covers, ads, musics, screen-caps and so on, that have a link to a Sci-Fi and Mecha anime/comic/novel/film/OVA.

So what's this show like compared to Mazinger?
Watching Mazinger Z has been great fun. On 22-23 now, up next is the episode with Jian, the robot who flies at mach 5!
I do see what folks meant when they said the manga Sayaka and Kouji were nicer though, by comparison the anime versions are much ruder. Since I'm not that far in I assume the banter is far from the worst of it.

I've noticed that many modern anime creators attempt to cover up the fact that they are mostly going off an aesthetic, a vibe, a simple theme, and the shock of the gore and "mature" events that they are portraying. They do this through obscure dialogue and attempts to be artsy, invoking half baked attempts at philosophy/sociology/political theory etc, that often is mediocre to anyone who can sift past the word vomit itself.
Genocyber is honest about what it is, and what it is meant to be. It has little to show us except the destructive power of human ambition and technological progress leading us to our ruin, in the most visceral, unpretentious, and nihilistic presentation possible. We aren't supposed to be thinking deep thoughts, we are just meant to feel the grotesque horror that is presented to us and feel a bit uncomfortable about it.
I'm not saying that attempts at being something more than an edge-fest is bad, but if that is what you really have at the core of your concept, then own it like Genocyber does.
>>14316970
I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, but I'll take any excuse I can for a Koichi Ohata thread. Genocyber is fucking amazing.
I loved how he spliced in live action gore in the first episode. I don't even know why he did it, but it's new and interesting and freaks me out.
>>14316970
Why the fuck do people say this show is confusing when it's so fucking simple?
>>14317020
Same reason people say Eva is confusing -- they don't pay attention.
