What was the point of introducing the Captain like this?

>>13782874
He wasn't introduced that way.
>>13782921
Pretty much. However OP scene meant that nothing works like it should in that ship.
Where were you when there was a non-Gundam MS that had stats that rekts a Gundam's in its very own series?
>blows up a giant asteroid base in one shot with ease
>Wing Zero custom couldn't blasts through a bunch of metal doors without falling apart like a bad Chinese bootleg
>>13781368
>has v-fin
It's totally a Gundam m8
>>13781461
If that's true then why didn't Zechs do that himself?
I'm 100% sure it is a Gundam, OP.

Not a great picture anon, We can barely see him. What with being way up there and all. Can't even get the detail on his coat.
Posting on topic; 50~ episodes of this lardass and he actually ends up a damn useful badger-thing.
>>13782983
he's talking about the dog, who is right in front of the camera.
>>13783538
Nope
Whose dumb fucking idea was to name him Schwarz Bruder ?
>>13778054
Dude, their fucking Japs. No one ever said that anime writers were good at what they do.
Also, the name of the Neo-Germany fighter is one of the least of G Gundam's problems.
>>13778054
The same people who thought having a God Gundam, Devil Gundam and a Gundam the size of a colony that's shaped like Japan was a good idea
>calling anything dumb when you're dumb yourself
Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans is Valvrave the Liberator done right.

Eh, VVV still had better music.
Well I can tell this is going to be a completely serious thread that would lead to constructive discussion.

>both show are controversial/shitpost magnet
Does anyone remember this character in Dancougar? Why did she exist? What did she add to the plot? Why has she never been tokenistically been included in SRW or anything else? Did the creators forget she existed?
She is basically just a vehicule for an idol singer's career. The thing is, the idol was so ashamed of her own VA performance that she pretty stopped voice acting altogether for many years outside of a cameo in Nova. Ergo, Banpresto couldn't use her character even if they wanted to.
loli Minmay

It's not a doll, it's a kigurumi.
Yes, there's probably a corpse inside.
Why do people say 70s animation (especially Toei) is bad?
I just watched Mazinger Z vs The Ankoku Daishogun bluray version, and the animation seem pretty competent when you consider its age.
In fact, I've seen way less QUALITY in it than your average episode of the original Gundam.
So yeah, if you've never watched 70s shit before, this movie isn't a bad start.
And Kouji is not the paragon of manliness or anything like that as shown in pic related. I blame TTGL for painting a false image of 70s mecha.
>>13782295
>Why do people say 70s animation (especially Toei) is bad?
Because it's literally all 3fps. Characters in like all of the old Toei series fit into this really ugly art direction with shitty noses and eyes, Tetsujin and Mazinger specifically. Plus, you're watching a movie jackass, of course they put money and or effort into it.
>In fact, I've seen way less QUALITY in it than your average episode of the original Gundam.
MOVIE. Also, Gundam looked like shit too.
>So yeah, if you've never watched 70s shit before, this movie isn't a bad start.
Good luck going back.
>And Kouji is not the paragon of manliness or anything like that as shown in pic related. I blame TTGL for painting a false image of 70s mecha.
1) Kouji Kabuto is a disgusting, despicable human being. He is a misogynist, a coward, a douche, and a bully to his brother. I don't know how Toei turned such a laid-back, fun-loving guy into the Alwayd Sunny-esque monster that he was in Toeizinger, but it's a really bad representation of Kouji Kabuto.
2) TTGL is based most heavily in Getter Robo, and Kamina is a mix of Ryouma, Gai, and Guy.

I'm looking forward to seeing someone stand around and explain a visual metaphor again.
>>13781749
> McGillis's mask has no deeper meaning or reason than he needed a disguise and wanted to go for as ostentatious a one as possible so no-one would see or remember his face, only the mask

After that, the conversation became difficult for Misa to follow. Talk of communicating with aliens, talk of military victories…there was no way a middle-schooler could be expected to understand. And yet, it was the first time Misa had ever seen a young man disagreeing openly with her father. Usually, they shrank before him, often not even daring to speak, but Riber was actively debating with him. And the young man’s tone conveyed a strong and sincere hopefulness.
Why was Misa’s heart thumping as she watched Riber? She became uneasy…couldn’t her father, Herbert, and especially Riber... couldn’t they hear her pounding heartbeat?
But the three men were speaking to each other as if in a dream, and other things, like to penetrate the conversation.
“Why is my heart beating so loudly?” Misa thought. “Please quiet down.”
Before long, the party began drawing to a close, and people started leaving in groups of three or five. Misa continued detaining the Fruhlings, and they stayed to the very end of the party. Finally, even the two of them left the house, and silence settled back on the estate.
As the usual quietude returned, the tumult of the party gave way to a sense of stillness. Even the sound of Misa’s mother putting away the dishes didn’t disturb the conspicuous tranquility surrounding the house. Misa carefully climbed into a deep, large chair, and sat dangling her legs. And for some reason there was a small handkerchief wrapped around the little finger of her right hand.
Misa’s father returned from seeing the Fruhlings off at the gate.
“Thanks for everything,” he said to Misa’s mother.
Page 28
She simply replied, “Not at all,” and continued straightening up the dishes. She was usually quiet, and had appeared at the party like a woman of unfathomable depths. She had lovely features and a taste for gorgeous things, but, like an old-fashioned lady, she stayed behind her husband.
“The food tonight was exquisite,” Misa father remarked as her took her mother’s hands, making her pause as she picked up the plates. “You’ve worked enough for one night, don’t you think? Let me finish putting everything away.”
“Oh no, dear. Really, that’s not necessary.”
“All right then, let’s do it together.” So saying, he started cleaning up as well. He was not accustomed to such work, and even his hands seemed uneasy. Next to him, Misa’s mother deftly stacked the glasses and plates. Both of them were breathing in rhythm. Of course, Misa always loved her father, but she loved him best when he was showing tenderness to her mother. Misa always wanted to watch them get close to each other, but she was also grown-up enough to know when she was getting in the way. So she clambered off the chair, said good night, and went up to her room.
But even after she had gotten to bed, her excitement wouldn’t allow her to sleep; the evening’s party had been that much fun. For a long while, she dwelt on Riber’s promise…

“Coming here, looking out the VTOL’s window, I was amazed at how New Tokyo has developed.”
“This is your first time in New Tokyo?”
“Yeah, but I really like it.”
“Good. Then you should enjoy exploring.”
“Well, then, shall I give you the guided tour?” Misa interrupted. Riber looked surprised for a moment, but then broke into an easy grin.
“Thanks,” he replied. “I’d be happy to be shown around New Tokyo by such a pretty young lady. With the Commodore’s permission, of course.”
Commodore Hayase frowned slightly. Misa worried that he would refuse. “It’s all right, isn’t it, Father?” she ventured.
“Hmm. Well. I suppose it’s fine, with Riber around.”
“Thank you!” Misa cried, jumping for joy. “So, next Sunday. Promise!”
“Got it. Next Sunday.”
Misa stuck her little finger out in front of Riber’s face, but he didn’t understand that he was meant to do the same, and so just stared at it.
“It’s a pinky swear,” offered Misa. “Don’t you know it?”
“Sorry,” Riber replied. “I guess we don't have that custom in Germany.”
Saying, “You do it like this,” Misa took Riber’s right hand, and hooked their little fingers together. Riber, at Misa’s mercy, was amused at her childish conduct.
“Pinky swear!” declared Misa. “If you tell a lie, you must swallow a thousand needles!”
“Well, then, I guess I’d better not break the promise, huh?” Riber said, laughing
brightly.
Page 28
Recovering herself with a quick exhale of breath, Misa jumped to her feet. Turning on the light, she ran to the calendar and drew a big circle around the following Sunday with a red marker. “Today’s Wednesday,” she remarked to herself. She frowned charmingly and ran her finger along the days on the calendar between now and Sunday. “Still three more days…”

>Velika is the name taken by a Great Being[1] who transferred his consciousness into a Po-Matoran body to observe the functioning of the Matoran Universe. On Voya Nui, he was known as an eccentric and inventive member of the Voya Nui Resistance Team. Since the Reformation of Spherus Magna, Velika has put into motion a plan to rule Spherus Magna, which necessitates the murder of several powerful Matoran Universe entities.
>During his time as a Matoran, Velika, having concluded that the destruction of the planet was due to poor leadership by the Great Beings,[9] developed a plan to seize control of Spherus Magna for himself.[10] Part of his plan involved the killing of powerful Matoran Universe inhabitants acting outside of their parameters, who might object to his rule. Velika defeated Lesovikk and stole his Air Sword,[11] with which he killed Karzahni at Iron Canyon and extracted Tren Krom from his prison[12] before murdering him in Bota Magna. Velika killed both in gruesome ways to inspire fear among the population, which he planned to use to ensure his acceptance as a ruler.[13]
>Due to his alliance with Kabrua, Velika knew about the Vorox on Bota Magna. Planning to use them as shock troops,[14] Velika gave them sophisticated force blasters[5] and a device capable of blocking a Toa's Elemental Powers. He also told them of the regression and tragedy of the Bara Magna Vorox. Velika then directed them to capture and kill a group of Toa and Glatorian who were in the process of tracking down the Great Beings to inform them of Spherus Magna's restoration.
>Velika also took advantage of an opportunity to take Axonn, Brutaka, Miserix, Tuyet, Helryx, Vezon, and Artakha out in one fell swoop, as they had all gathered in one place at the behest of an insane Great Being. He rigged the structure to blow, and then began crafting a grave marker for his intended victims.
