You know it just dawned on me, how much control does Tomino have over his works?
I asked because I was listening to the commentary for Return of the Jedi, and Lucas was talking about how at that point the creative process of the seires was becoming like tv shows instead of movies. In tv the creative input is mostly in the hands of the executive producer. They come up with the ideas behind the show, the writer makes it into a script, and the director's job is basically just to bring the executive producer's vision to life. Contrast that from film where the director holds a lot of the creative control over the work.
I know obviously the west and east don't do everything exactly the same, but at the same time they use all the same names of production roles for a reason. He's a tv director, and that makes me wonder how much control he has over a work. Especially since Sunrise, considering the shows have to sell toys/models.

Tomino does not have complete control as Four died without is control so he created Rosemarie.
>>
He still has to gain the approval of his sponsors, and that means that the show has to sell toys. Look at the RX-78-1 for example, that's what the Gundam was originally meant to look like but the executives wanted parade colors so that kids would want to buy it. In general, the show also has to pass muster in front of a national television audience, otherwise there's no reason to air it, and thus no reason to create it in the first place.
You can pinpoint the exact point in his career that he got tired of this bullshit, because that's when Victory happened.

Killing off everybody in Dunbine was another sign.

Is it true that /m/ was created to keep SEED Destiny from overrunning /a/? I've heard that mentioned a couple times over the past few years, but the timeline doesn't really work out -- /m/ was around by August 2004, and Destiny aired in October 2004.

Hey is that rahxephon
Relena looks like my high school math teacher. She was a 28 year old beauty that I wanted to fuck so hard, and I masturbated thinking of her over 100 times.
Now looking at a picture of her makes me remember that I will never fuck the love of my life.

You're going to say "underage!!!" or "It was still around in the early 2000s, how could you not know about it?", but the thing is, I don't remember anything from ages 3-6 other than floating shapes, colors, and drinking from a sippy cup.

The Tau were made specifically to get Gundam model kit fags/weebs to get into 40k

It didn't work, the Tau model line is pretty hideous.

Aren't the Tau also technically the most benevolent in the 40K universe? In as much as 40K is ever benevolent.

Sup /m/en. I've been wondering how to get into the Mazinger series. Is it the same kind of situation as Getter Robo where there's both an anime and a manga but the manga is the better option or is it okay to dive right into the anime? How did you start off? Which do you prefer if you've seen/read both?
Also Mazinger thread I suppose.

Mazinger is the opposite of Getter in that regard, funny enough. The manga are pretty terrible compared to the anime, with the only possible exception being the toei anime, and that's entirely based off of personal taste. That being said, I would recommend starting either with the original manga while keeping in mind that it drops in quality around the end of the third volume or so, Shin Mazinger, or Mazinkaiser.
>>
>>13567107
I wouldn't go as far as calling the manga terrible. Sure, Nagai made it mostly to let off steam, but there's some pretty engaging stuff in it, most notably Lorelei.
>>13567065
Shin Mazinger and Mazinkaiser are both good, though in different ways - Shin is directed by Imagawa so expect lots of dramatic twists and on-foot martial arts action. Mazinkaiser is a classic super robot vs evil professor romp, though the movie is kinda dumb.
The Toei show's also worth a watch if you can spare the time, but unless you're Italian you won't be watching Great or any of the crossover movies.
Oh, and there's also SKL, which is pretty much a heavy metal album come to life. Basically the edgier bits of Violence Jack with a robot.
>>
>>13567065
Mazinger is less plot heavy and has a variety of style-faithful anime series, so the way to enjoy the series isn't so dependent on where you start.
I'd say the best ways to check out Mazinger would probably be like
Mazinkaiser (short, great animation and good mix of tv-manga mazinger)
Z/Great/Gren manga (fairly short and good, great isn't fully translated)
Shin Mazinger Z-hen (more serious version of the manga full of imagawa-isms)
Toei Mazin Z series (very different from the manga and z-hen, has 92 eps, fully translated in good quality)
