Regular tires cool too?

>“After that, it was just like I was rebooting. There was like static, and images, and the realisation that I was… wait… in a plane? Why am I in a plane? Why is there an American slapping my face…? Where am I… wha-? And then BANG, I’m back, after a minute unconscious, my head spinning as the co-pilot brought the plane down to land.

>“I stumbled out of the cockpit and down the ladder, and then I threw up.

>“So I sat there and drew the storyboards for the sequence in Macross Plus where a pilot blacks out. And that’s what we call authenticity.”

Why is there no longer any passion left like this for mecha animation, or animation at all, period?

>>13631247
Because doing shit like that for a cartoon is stupid and wasteful as fuck and more importantly, too expensive.

>>13631247

Because the average animator earns dog shit money and hasn't got the savings or the free time to be passionate enough to do things like that. Itano did that at a time when the economy was still riding pretty high, there was a lot of talent and love in the industry and the treatment of workers was relatively good (at least compared to nowadays). Then the bubble burst for good and all that went out the window. It's hard to have that passion when you're worrying about your next meal.

I can't wait for Hollywood to realize that just because Marvel did it, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Because it's already getting annoying.

>>13630683
It wasn't a good idea when Marvel did it

>>13630690
No, but it was somewhat bearable, and made mountains of money. Now even Universal are trying to do it with their monsters, and it's gonna be a trainwreck.

Volume 4 scans you mean?

>>13620876
The fuck kinda acguy is that?

>>13623385
A very small one. Or maybe these guys are like 4 meters tall.

>>13605796
Z and CCA are nice.

0079 and ZZ are a bit silly.

I find it difficult to pay attention to this show. Maybe it's because of the number of events that go on, I don't expect a kid's cartoon to be so involving.

>watch 0079, enjoy it
>watch Zeta, really enjoy it
>start watching ZZ, stop 9 episodes in

gonna give it another go considering everything I've read about it saying it gets better

>>13600636
Only Black_Knight is really that deluded.

>>13600636

I don't even like Zeon and I think that's a shitty analogy.

> Man builds fleet of cars
> Finds bunch of people and forces them to take cars as their new and only cars
> New owners ask if they can modify cars to look nicer or run better etc
> No, only I get to decide what's done with these cars and you can't complain because you got them for free
> That's fucked up man, we own and drive them we should have some say in personalizing and using them
> Sorry, my cars, my rules
> New owners load one with explosives and run it in to the factory, destroying one production line and killing a bunch of folks

It's still not a great analogy and Zeon come off less evil than they should perhaps, but it's a lot better than your one. People like them because they have a sympathetic root cause, cool uniforms and suits and some good characters for the most part. Most of these people seem aware that they're fucked up and ready to admit it but just like their aesthetic or characters regardless, because that's entirely possible and there's nothing wrong with it. People with more nationalistic mindsets also like them because they find military governments good or something I suppose.

That a spin off of Metabots or something?

Mr. Referee was the best part of the show.

>>13596451
Just gotten used to calling it Medarots instead of Medabots, watching the subbed episodes as they're being released and it's pretty gud
>tfw they got Gainax to do episode 14

Playing Medarot 2 right now. Figured I'll play the series first and maybe watch the show later.

So far it's pretty damn fun, my Kabuto medal just evolved to it's second evolution and my Medaforce is strong as fuck.

Metabee + Knight medal tank + Random femalebot All day Every day.

There are also lots of model kits of it, but all the photos I can find show the cockpit closed. I know there's detail in there because you can see stuff a pilot seat etc through the canopy.

A standard setup as far as cockpits go, it seems.

Image is from a book called "Dragonfly Vol. 19", which includes a play manual on R-Type III.

Is the poll up to date?

Did people see Akira's death coming?

I can't say I did. Most major deaths in Fafner can be seen coming, but I was surprised about his.

Was I blind to the deathflags or do others feel the same?

>>13624279
He has been inheriting Hiroto's death flags for awhile now. While I kind of saw it coming, I keep hoping I was wrong and he survive somehow

Marketability.

>>13632977
>nothing too special
Exactly. You can either spend loads trying to make an army of super-high performance machines with fancy technology, or you can at relatively lower cost and effort make an army of good performance MS that probably won't be dealing with newtype magic anyway.

Biggest reason is >>13632978

>>13632977
Doven Wolves look shitty.

Geara Dogas look rad as fuck.

That's about it. In universe there's probably some bullshit about costs and so on though.

Ran out of AP

They weren't qualified to pilot the Core Splendor at the time.

>>13632207
There was only 1 Core Splendor.
The reason for that was that Shinn was the only one who could get the combination system down perfectly which is thrown out the window when Luna starts using it later in the show.

I like the Dolores dub. The fact that she calls Orbital Frame an Orbital Flame kind of makes sense with her character, even if it is the result of a mistranslation.

>>13628326

dolores is

lol

that is all.

>>13628326
Dolores has James Links, that makes it great

>wing
>underrated

Nice meme

I'd say so, yeah the plot and animation are not top notch by any means but Wing rivals Zeta for best cast of characters, maybe it even tops Zeta.
