What's /m/'s opinion on Ken Ishikawa? You rarely talk about him outside of Getter Robo.
Kyomu Senki, Majuu Sensen, Eurasia 1274, Fatal Fury, Freeder Bug, Ultraman Taro, Samurai of the Meiji restoration, Makai Tensho, Yakuza Weapon, Shin Henshin Ninja Arashi (With Ishinomori) etc...
This man did a lot of cool shit when he was still alive.
>>13723710
How many of those are scanlated and also have robots in?
>>13723710
What do you expect, the Mecha board is mostly going to talk about the stuff he made that was, you know, Mecha.
We could get away with talking about Taro and Majuu Sensen as well, but most people here haven't read them (I only just downloaded Majuu Sensen tonight).
I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of his art.
His early work just screamed Go Nagai ripoff, which was pretty justified but still made everything look incredibly deritative. And even after developing his own style eventually, when he's drawing giant monstrous things he's pretty great, but his humans are terrible.
So what did /m/ think of Straight Title Robot Anime?
It was so cute and refreshing
then it stabbed right thru me with a rusty butter knife.
I'd just like to say episode 10 was the lewdest thing I have ever seen in my life
Those segments with them making jokes on the opening sequence were the best parts due to weird slapstick. Not a case of "too japanese for me" like Joshiraku but a lot of the humour was related to puns and such.

Pretty much this.It surely left a bitter taste in the end.
a whiles a ago, someone post a thread here
asking what is the deal her with uso.
after a bit thinking, i think i have a theory.
She may have at one point , actually has some feeling for uso,although not romantically,more of a big sister feeling. But when uso become and show to be more strong and mature , the feeling is twisted because her "ideal" uso is not what uso grow to become,but a weaker, less intelligent "little brother", who do has some skills, but not better then her.
She can not accept the the "little brother" is better than her. That is why she keep taunting him, she want to prove that he is the little brother who is weak and know nothing goes to the other guy, because his is her ideal type, strong but also very weak.
I think it's simpler than that. I think she simply knew Uso as a casual acquaintance at first and had some interest in how he was treated/being used.
Until she fell for Cronicle and became a victim off Zanscare's propaganda. When she began to believe in female superiority, she stopped caring about Uso and only saw him as a pest getting in the way of her own goals. As he kept getting in her way, she began to hate him more and more until she finally tried to kill him. He was no longer a cute little victim being used by the LM, but a truly dangerous threat who could ruin everything she hoped to achieve.
In short, she pretty much did become a radicalized feminist.

Our next Group Build!
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.
Deadline: March 7

Is the HG Red Weapons Set compatible with IBO kits (specifically the Barbatos backpack)?
>>13747905
No, or at least not withoug a third part like the arms from something like the battle arms set. It can hold the weapons, but the swing arms it comes with don't connect to barbatos (they don't really connect to anything but red warrior's backpack, which feels like a design oversight for a weapon pack) and barbatos's swing arms don't connect to the weapons.
Hi, I just watched DYRL. Can we talk about it? It was really great
well, anon
Do You Remember....?
>>13744383
I liked it overall, but I wasn't a fan of them simplifying the Zentradi conflict down to the effect music having on them being basically magical.
>>13744660
>to the effect music having on them being basically magical.
I thought it was just them being all BWAH YACK DECULTURE as usual
Active Raid 1 is out.
I thought the episode was pretty funny and toku as fuck.
>>13720685

Did they make jokes about the rock quarry?
it was absolute shit

Stop trying to be contrarian for every new show you see.
Why are there no good western mecha designs?
I've been searching for years and years and have yet to find a single example that impresses me. Artists just seem content to rehash Kawamori and Shirow designs and don't know any colours other than gray or brown. This is humorous since "western mecha design" essentially means "knockoff japanese mecha design" yet it's often held in opposition.
Is there anything good at all?
daily shitposting thread
talk about your favorite Valverave episodes here
>>13700088
Yeah, but you need to look around.
I like Charlie.
>>13700094
I kinda agree with him.
>>13700088
With some exceptions, mecha in western sci-fi is pretty much limited to military sci-fi (thus the limited color palettes) Really in the sense of "walking piloted vehicle" mecha is rare in western sci-fi to begin with. There's a pretty long tradition of power armor showing up in miliatry sci-fi but outside of stuff like 40k the designs tend towards a more utilitarian aesthetic rather than a fantastical one.
In general you see a lot more focus on ships and fighters in western franchises.

How do you feel about beam rotors? Best invention of Late UC or the stupidest shit ever?
>>13750718
It lets you fly, it's a shield, it's a weapon. It has no downsides and allows for cheap flight in a setting where only the only MS with true flight over than the overgrown clusterfuck called the Xi was the Victory.

I dunno man but the Mad Cat is the best Mechwarrior
>>13747671
That's not the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf. That's the Vulture/Mad Dog.
I'm a sucker for inverted wings.

Do you suffer from mental retardation? Why would you hope for anything to not come out? You're not forced to watch it.

Not really sure what I'm watching here, but it looks gorgeous.
>>13751039
yes I get it. there are THREE 8's
SO THE FUCK WHAT
gamblrfags i tell you
It was pretty alright I guess. I think I had significantly higher expectations than how it turned out. Looked beautiful just as they say and the music was killer. I didn't really like any of Sharon's songs though, I was more into the regular OST
I'll say it was better than 0083, the other "Top Gun with mechs" though I don't think I really 'liked' any of the characters except Yang. Nigga just wanted his plane to fly and fap to AI idols
Also I was expecting a much bigger DRAMA reveal consideringI kept hearing /m/ and /a/ call Myung a rapeslut so first I thought from that initial flashback that she got gangraped at the school festival and Isamu didn't do anything about it but then it was all "Hurr I just blocked the real memory out".She didn't even get raped, you lying assholes
Nobody wants to talk Plus today?
I don't like it. The only redeeming feature is the pretty animation and the nice VFs.
The plot and the characters are just terrible.
>>13750486
>The plot and the characters are just terrible.
Preaching to the choir anon.
I mean I don't think the plot is all that bad, I think there's worse but pretty much everybody sucks as characters
They don't make Gundam designs like they used to
>>13749609
But I thought they still had artists draw them?
>>13749609
>>13750215
>>13749609
where are these images from?
Not what series, I know G Gundam, but the art itself.
